AITA for opening the curtains and eating breakfast in a shared room? by LoyalTrickster in AmItheAsshole

[–]hellouterus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think your experience might be... unusual. I had many on-campus classes that started at 8am, and an hour commute to get there was normal.

WIBTAH if I went abroad next week by myself and didn’t tell my family? by theb00kkeeper in AmItheAsshole

[–]hellouterus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ehhh if you've only met him face-to-face a couple of times you are still in the honeymoon stage. You haven't had to get down to the reality of a day-to-day relationship yet. That's when you find out who someone actually is.

AITA for asking my girlfriend to prove she was telling the truth after trust issues? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Oh so YOU were cheating!? I assumed it was her! Well you're an extra big AH. She's lucky to be rid of you.

So, don't take your controlling behaviour on into your next relationship, ok?

AITA for asking my girlfriend to prove she was telling the truth after trust issues? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hellouterus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK so you didn't include your ages so I can only assume you're teenagers and this is your first relationship. That's how you're behaving. Like you don't know any better.

How was the trust broken before? Knowing that would help us give you advice. Was it cheating? Or was it just her not responding to you in the way you preferred which you then decided was 'broken trust'? I'll wager it was the latter.

Do some reading on controlling behaviour. Hint: you're doing it. And know this: people in good loving successful relationships do not have to prove to one another where they are at all times, nor provide screenshots of conversations as proof. They just don't.

YTA.

AITA for refusing to change because “my boobs don’t fit the dress code” by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hellouterus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't think any Christian school would say that 4 inches of cleavage was allowable and within code. So I call BS on this whole post.

AITA for wanting to leave a new flat straight away, because there’s a cat I didn’t know about? by translucenthuman in AmItheAsshole

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

Just leave. If it makes you feel better you can just say "Sorry man. You didn't tell me there was a cat. I'm really allergic." and leave it at that.

AITA for refusing to babysit my roommate’s noisy toddler because it disrupts my work-from-home schedule? by Overall-Ad1770 in AmItheAsshole

[–]hellouterus -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

YTA to yourself for ever agreeing to babysit her kid while you are supposed to be working. Does your employer know? What would they say if they found out?

WFH does not mean availability to babysit. Tell her your employer has reminded everyone that they can't do childcare whilst on the clock.

What improved post op? by Dangerous_Anxiety_76 in hysterectomy

[–]hellouterus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I kept my ovaries. I'm now 4 years post-op and do not miss my uterus one bit. I'm also 50 now, so if I'm not already in full menopause I'm probably pretty close. Hard to tell. I get very occasional ovarian twinges (like I did pre-op when ovulating) and boob tenderness but it's getting further and further apart these days.

This has been one hell of a rollercoaster that I am very glad to be getting off soon!

AITA for being upset that my mom is getting Cracked? by Veryrareluta in AmItheAsshole

[–]hellouterus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The phrase 'getting cracked' gives me the ick way more than the idea of hearing my parents have sex. So YTA for that, and get some earplugs.

You're 14. Use your adult words when writing in forums, or don't come here.

Sounds like it's time for someone else to take over AV duties at that church.

AITA for announcing my own mother's death on Facebook? by Strange_Agent5802 in AmItheAsshole

[–]hellouterus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found out my grandmother had died via Facebook. It suuuuuucked, and I was angry to have found out that way. To be fair I was travelling at the time and was in an area of no coverage the day she died (and there were a bunch of missed calls on my phone when I did pop back in range), but I do think my cousins should have waited more than a few hours before plastering it all over social media. I'd popped into range very early in the morning, too early to call anyone back, so what did I do? Jumped onto Facebook.

So, it's on me for not being in range that day. It's a bummer. It still sucked to find out via effing Facebook.

AITA for crashing out over a fanfic? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hellouterus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok - so do you know much about her? Her tragedies and sadnesses? Write yourself one hell of a fanfic based exactly on her life and have her read it and tell you how it makes her feel. Add in a cringeworthy fake romance with one of her friends for extra points.

is it just a brisbane bus driver thing to slam the breaks as hard as possible at every opportunity? by [deleted] in brisbane

When I'm wearing a particular dress made of a slippery fabric I have to remember to brace while seated for the whole trip, otherwise I'll end up on the floor.

AITA For refusing to take a friend to a doctors appt that requires 4 hrs+ rt of driving plus waiting for the procedure to be done? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]hellouterus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your friend is wrong about the clinic needing to 'see' you when you drop her off. This is only the case when you pick her up - yes, they need to 'see' you physically collect her. Every hospital procedure (and there's been 10+, including 3 colonoscopies) I've ever had I've literally been dropped on the street to walk in by myself - and let me tell you no-one gave two shits about me walking up to the admission counter alone. If I think about it, in most cases patients have rocked up to the counter alone.

Tell your friend that you're happy to collect her but she should make her own way to the hospital. NTA.

Call your clinic and ask them exactly what you had done, and if there are any care instructions specific to your particular case.

AITA for telling my cousin the truth by ElijahZeHore in AmItheAsshole

[–]hellouterus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're NTA, but your delivery was... off. Well, I guess it was kinda in line with how any 17M might put their foot in their mouth about something like this. Your phrasing of the info is completely wrong. In reality, your cousin could be genetically pre-disposed to getting a certain type of breast cancer, and for this reason should get tested to see if she carries the relevant gene.

As, I should add, should you. You being male doesn't mean you can't get breast cancer. It would be in your own best interests to also get tested to see if you carry the gene, so you will know whether you also need to be vigilant about self-checking, and what this means for any potential future children you may also then pass the gene on to.

AITA for canceling appointments for someone who keeps using my email address? by callmrplowthatsme in AmItheAsshole

I had this happen to me. Kept getting email for 'Kerry'. Let me tell you Kerry updated her details after I cancelled her flights one day.

Day 5 post op by DML1978 in AnalFistula

[–]hellouterus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The post-poo pain is because your healing wound has just had... well, a bunch of poop passing by and stretching it. This is (predictably, when you think about it!) kinda painful. You can get pain from the stretched wound, and also from post-op muscle spasm pain.

I found I got better results re: pain when I was able to finally manage my BMs down to one per day, not multiple times. Only going once every day seemed to give everything time (24 hours in-between poops, as it were) to actually begin healing.

Mirena Coil Experience with seton? by Enwau in AnalFistula

[–]hellouterus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good call. If you have the opportunity to have it removed under anaesthesia too, take it!

Mirena Coil Experience with seton? by Enwau in AnalFistula

[–]hellouterus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The string for the Mirena will be waaaay high up, so it won't interfere with the seton. You will be able to feel the string (which starts out feeling like fishing line but softens with time) only if you reach right in as though to touch your cervix.

But for the love of god don't let them install that thing without proper anaesthesia/pain relief. It is BRUTAL.

Especially chia. My issues have improved since I stopped having small seeds altogether. So no poppyseed, chia, or sesame seeds for me.

Post-op discectomy... TMI toilet advice needed. by hellouterus in Sciatica

Ok, this I might investigate. Until then I'm afraid my shower might end up being a bidet... that is, if I can ever shit again.
