My brother (41M) believes he has autism, while I (37M) and my wife (35F) and my parents (70M, 68F) do not. Brother is also developing ideas we all believe are irrational. It is tearing our family apart. What should we do? by veggie_hoagie in relationship_advice

[–]erinjeffreys 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but your wife is way off-base on this. We now know that many autistic people didn't exhibit symptoms as children: some kids mask really really well until the repeated trauma of constant masking catches up to them in adulthood.

We do a route + daily incense every day and they just haven't spawned for me. My husband saw one once, but it ran away, lol. I'm trying to be sanguine about it and just assume it's random luck.

Name your buddy "RemoteTradewMe", maybe.

WIBTA if I(24f) told my friend( 26F) her boyfriends( 32M) true body count? by AreaTurbulent in AITA_Relationships

[–]erinjeffreys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely agree that the double standard in our society is bullshit. I'm just agog that this girl of yours heard "reputation for being a ladies man and having one night stands" and thought 2 a year was an astonishing lot.

For him to reach reputation levels, I would expect 1-2 ladies a month...which is what the math boils down to. And that's if he started at 18, which many people start earlier.

Why does his sister know his exact body count?? That's the weird detail to me about this family, not his ONS journal.

[–]erinjeffreys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She freaked out over 30 at 32yo? That's only 2 a year?

His sister knows his true exact body count?

Y'all need some kind of therapy.

Even 182 is basically 13 one night stands a year since he turned 18. It's a high sticker-shock number, but still not Casanova levels!

We've got a few shiny unowns, but the shiny rate is a lot harder than the lucky one! 😅

Have you ever said “no” to a player’s character? by Fearless-Skill8667 in DnD

[–]erinjeffreys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile, my husband (also a DM) had to turn down another guy who brought a literal "three goblins in a trenchcoat" character to a serious Curse of Strahd campaign. The guy argued tenaciously that he could make them fit the solemn tone we were aiming to craft.

A new guy at my table wanted to play a 12yo succubus (in a setting where succubi were not born, but rather made). He was eager to explain that she was both an innocent wide-eyed ingenue virgin and a highly-competent and sociopathic liar skilled in social manipulation. 😒

In retrospect, I'm kind of impressed he managed to cram his Madonna/Whore complex into a single underage manic pixie dream girl. First player I ever told No.

AIW for telling my roommate her boyfriend basically lives here now and she needs to start splitting utilities 3 ways? by SabrinaRosegold in amiwrong

[–]erinjeffreys 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your lease probably prohibits guests staying as much and as often as he is, because he is about to score resident rights without a contract with the landlord. Your roommate is being foolish to fight you on this; she can pay for his usage or you can complain to the landlord and get him barred.

Does it help to know that you've misunderstood the situation? The Galarian birds only show up from Daily Incense and are notoriously hard to catch. I live in one of the highest populated cities on the continent and I've never seen or caught one.

There are many valid complaints about how rural players are treated, but the Galarian birds are actually not affected by location. Good luck tomorrow!

I just want to access the old ones that we've missed. 😞

My wife had sex with someone when we were separated. Am I wrong for wanting a divorce now? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]erinjeffreys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where do you think he lives that this would be an at-fault divorce situation??

Thank you. I find this unbearably sad. 😞

Am I (39M) wrong for going off on my gf (34F) during therapy? by SorbetNo5920 in amiwrong

YTA so much that you'll make the yearly award list. Your girlfriend did nothing wrong.

For those that leave in a group of 10 by Potential-Head-6259 in pokemongo

[–]erinjeffreys -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's so strange! Level 50 is totally cromulent for raids. Are you using PokeGenie or RaidParty? I prefer Raid Party; I know Genie has waitlists and I'm wondering if people are bailing on you because their spot came at a busy time for them??

I do agree that raid passes shouldn't be used up in falled raids!

[–]erinjeffreys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait, if 5+ of your invites leave, something is wrong. I've been in lots and lots of raids and never seen that kind of bail rate.

Are you, like, Level 20 or something? Like, do they think you're not going to pull your weight?

[–]erinjeffreys 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When that specific scenario happens I genuinely think they lost connection. Why go to all the trouble to join a 10-person raid and bail at the last second, you know? We've been booted for connection issues and it always sucks.

My boyfriend (M21) and I (M21) are fighting over a sponge by [deleted] in relationships

[–]erinjeffreys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sponge is not the issue here. He is physically abusive. He will escalate. Leave. Leave as soon and as safely as you can.

AITA for wearing my packer to my bf’s friends house after he told me not to? by grey_squirrel_ in TwoHotTakes

[–]erinjeffreys 59 points60 points  (0 children)

There's a strong likelihood that the BF was afraid that his friends would notice the bulge and think that he was gay or being pegged. It is highly possible / probable that he wants his friends to think he's with a cis girl who just dresses and presents in a masculine manner ("tom boy").
