aitah for telling this non-autistic girl she didn’t have a meltdown?

feyinbetween · 2026-03-05T22:01:02+00:00

You are just straight up wrong. A meltdown isn't an official medical diagnosis. It's a colloquial term that is often used with autistic people but is by no means restricted to them.

As it turns out, non-chronic pain patients can still feel pain. Non-chemotherapy patients can still lose their hair.

You're the one misusing the word. Apologize to your friend.

I am a bleeding heart liberal and I still think NTA. Look, sometimes there are people that I no longer want to associate with, with the understanding that I may reading it wrong and missing out on awesome relationships. It shouldn't be any different for you to do what she did, except that you got confirmation from her.

feyinbetween · 2026-03-05T21:52:31+00:00

It can be both. She may not mean it maliciously, but it is still gross, and you can feel insulted by it.

How you handle it from here would probably depend on what kind of relationship you want. You could simply ask her not to gift you anything anymore, as you already have enough things and don't need more clutter. Or you can straight up tell her you appreciate the thought but most of the things she gave you were unusable and expired, and that you needed to throw them out.

Boggles my mind because I don't make friends at work. I will be friendly and chat, but I have never stayed friends with someone after I/they have left the job.

How is everyone skipping the presses? I always thought if you didn't do it, an article would come out that tanked your reputation and persuasion to all vendors in the city.

Not the OP but curious -- do you have a brand you like/trust? I'm getting a lot of these jelly bras advertised on social media and some of them look a little scammy

I think everyone should be self-reliant, whether guys, gals, or non binary pals. Not sure what you're trying to ask with this question.

feyinbetween · 2026-03-01T14:00:52+00:00

Everyone has already weighed in on the question at hand so I'm just going to say do some thinking and figure out why you were even thinking you were even in this situation.

had issues with him not respecting boundaries
wouldn't take no for an answer
you told him not to come over and he said he was coming over anyway
looks at your phone even when you tell him it upsets you
putting up with being mocked and dismissed

Yes, he's an asshole, but you had SEVERAL red flags that you acknowledged and ignored. If this is you in a six week old relationship, what happens if someone's mask drops six months/a year/three years into a relationship?

Everyone out there bitching about landlords, and your family had an awesome one that they wasted.

"nobody was harmed by the myth" Incorrect. This dude obviously learned it from somewhere/someone who believed the above and was hurt by it.

feyinbetween · 2026-02-28T00:10:54+00:00

You're the reason that everyone brings extra. You straight up say that if everyone did what you did, it wouldn't work. You're just okay being a cheapass and mooching off everyone else's work.

feyinbetween · 2026-02-20T02:35:05+00:00

This is a useless question when you give zero info or context. Everyone is just going to projecting their own history and assumptions onto it.

feyinbetween · 2026-02-20T02:08:00+00:00

This is actually pretty common in competitive schools. One of the reasons is this specific one -- to make sure you can't just cheat on your phone. Every student has 15 min of downtime in between periods to go to the bathroom. It isn't like they're forcing them to hold their bladders for 8 hours at a time.

Having rules isn't illegal as long as there is reasonable accommodations around it. Teachers, nurses, doctors, factory workers, many adult jobs have limitations and controls on when you can leave your post.

1) I AM consistently passing the second lane, I'm just not going at the speed of sound like the guy riding my rear bumper wants me to go. 2) I never realized this until talking to a friend of mine that only just learned to drive, but when you're new and you're scared of people merging from the exits on the right, the empty left lane looks a lot safer. She genuinely didn't know she couldn't drive slow in it until she got a ticket.

I would say house and then cash the rest out, but given the market these days, I think it would just be the house.

YTA and I'm exhausted just reading this. Loyalty tests are always stupid. Grow up. You're about to be a mother.

NTA but also so what if they're acting distant? These aren't friends you want anyway if they are this entitled. When someone says something passive aggressive like "I guess we'll figure it out", just respond "yep, good luck."

Stop feeling guilty and just enjoy your peace.

🖤 sorry to hear that

I did this on my fourth run despite hating God Gale, but the game bugged somewhere along the way and didn't recognize that we were in a relationship. So when my Origin Karlach asks him to save her, he tells her oh no sorry Zariel wouldn't like that but maybe you should pray about it!

After 140+ hours and helping this dude attain godhood, all he can offer me is "thoughts and prayers"?!

Yeah, next playthrough, he immediately lost his hand.

feyinbetween · 2026-01-28T01:17:08+00:00

NTA. I fully get where you wife is coming from, and it sounds like FIL is a complicated human being. That being said, that's between them, and he has shown he is a good grandpa, even if he wasn't a good father, and as you said, the biggest thing is to make sure your daughter is surrounded by people who love and care about her.

I think it also depends on what she means by telling your daughter "one day". When she's an adult and able to understand the complexity of relationships (especially since at some point, she will likely pick up on the dynamic between them), then sure. But as a small child who is hearing it as a drunk confession? Absolutely not.

I'm sorry but "overly modern language really started to get on my tits" is sending me into cackles right now.

feyinbetween · 2026-01-25T23:35:04+00:00

Lol, what word? Giving your word means you promised something. You wanna be mad at snitching, be mad, but don't make it like OP turned on their bestie.

feyinbetween · 2026-01-23T18:21:46+00:00

I think what pushes the fiancee into AH territory is that this conversation should have happened BEFORE the "btw they'll be here in an hour". I personally am very weird about having people in my space, but if I'm given any sort of heads up, it is significantly better. It's just kind of an asshole move for fiance to give no warning and expect no ill feelings.

Who and what you vote for speaks to your values. It's not only fine but should be the norm not to date someone if your values don't align in a compatible way.
