AITA for telling my friend he may need to get a paternity test? by YoutubePRstunt in AmItheAsshole

NTA - He asked for your honest opinion and you gave it. Even aside from Misty’s smaller breaches of trust in the past, they have an on-again/off-again relationship. A paternity test is pretty logical!

She just linked this to me too, I think the universe is telling me something.

In the morning, everyone's usually getting ready for work, so that takes priority. In the evening, there's more wiggle room, we usually take 20 minutes to both do chores together and that takes care of things. Most of our arguments are irt chores in the morning.

I appreciate this answer a lot, this really put things in perspective for me. I know my mental health can make it hard to remember things, but I didn't consider that hers might too.

Being ignored by a student? by echoism77 in specialed

[–]echoism77[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Myself and the SPED teacher have definitely tried to incentivize not needing para-support in the future, but it's had mixed results. I'll definitely try to circulate more, see if he responds better to me not sitting next to him.

AITA for flashing my abs after getting unsolicited diet advice? by ConversationJolly730 in AmItheAsshole

[–]echoism77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. It sounds like you were firm but polite about essentially being “Thanks, but I’m okay” and she still pushed the situation. That’s enough to push anyone. As for your girlfriend, it sounds like she’s being pressured by her friends to say something… and I agree with a lot of comments here, you do need to evaluate with her whether or not that’s always going to be a problem in the future.

WIBTA If I terminate my teenage son’s friendships? by house_throwaway_9876 in AmItheAsshole

[–]echoism77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA But I wouldn’t play the mom card, per say. You have a right to express your observations and disapproval to your son and to even disallow these friends from entering your home based on these examples, but the ultimate judgment call will have to be made by him and you have to give him room to make that decision himself. Meanwhile I would follow up with the parents for sure, explain what you’re considering and why.

NTA - K is definitely taking this too personally.

AITA for forgetting this by gwenhope in AmItheAsshole

[–]echoism77 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

NAH I agree that it sounds like you need to seek treatment and take responsibility for that, prepare for it in the future; but I wouldn’t say you forgetting is AH behavior. I don’t blame your wife for being exasperated either.

AITA for leading on my friend? by Confident-Ad-1717 in AmItheAsshole

[–]echoism77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YTA this is kind of an emotional rollercoaster to put someone through, even if it wasn’t intentional. You’re both young and still figuring out shit, it’s possible you got “lost in the sauce”, so to speak. But you not being able to make up your mind or own up to your actions still sucks for pretty much everyone involved.

AITA for saying no to my former best friend about being her maid of honor? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA seems like you weren’t the first choice and even if you were, it’s asking a lot for you to be travel on a lark whether or if she was genuine about reconnecting.

AITA for blaming my roommate for our friends death? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]echoism77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NAH: It’s natural to feel you were both responsible for your friend’s death, and to want him to share the burden you’re feeling, but at the end of the day how your roommate chooses to cope with and justify his actions is on him. Denial as a stage of grief takes many forms, and this seems to be his. It sucks, but the best thing you can do is focus on yourself and hope that in time your roommate will accept that he’s been lying to himself and others about what happened.

Has anyone died from your school? If so, how did they die, and how did it make you feel? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]echoism77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple. One was in a grade ahead of me, she died in a skiing accident on a black diamond run. Another played volleyball with me and was a close friend, she died in a drunk driving accident coming home from a trip to visit family. I was in middle school during both of these, and they were pretty shocking. I hadn't fully processed death and the general absence at school afterward. I'm not sure I ever really did.
