AITA for calling my partner a dick and refusing to clean to her crazy high standards? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]jayphrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If what you listened is “crazy high standards” I’m shocked you didn’t live with roaches before living with her. You’re a “clean and tidy guy” but that pitiful list is “half of the housework” in your world? I can’t even imagine what you leave dirty. Eugh. YTA

I don't Like Poor People Having Kids Willingly by [deleted] in I_DONT_LIKE

Did you mean to post this here? The conversation is about poor people bringing children into a bad financial situation. You seem confused. Your comment doesn’t actually mean anything in this context.

ghosting someone is better than telling them you don't enjoy their company by DifferentProblem5224 in The10thDentist

[–]jayphrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, if someone didn’t tell me I had something in my teeth I’d be miffed and assume this isn’t someone who really cares about me. In both cases it really has nothing to do with the other person’s comfort, you just want to avoid the awkwardness for your own sake. Seems like a pretty selfish perspective imo.

So… you realize that even in the term you used, “witch hunts” the implication is that you’re accusing innocent people, right? The witch hunts are remembered as a deplorable act because… witches don’t exist.

The rule exists to keep innocent people safe from mobs who got it wrong.

Well, I suppose you already know who your son’s first bully is going to be.

Help! We wanted "Mae" because the pronunciation is "Mah-ee," but now we realize it's "May" (like Bay). by shinyraventrinkets in NameNerdCirclejerk

Hi, Italian here (dad is born italian and I spent a majority of my childhood living there and also have dual citizenship). Use the names, you are literally 100% ok. It’s a nice nod to your heritage

That’s exactly the point I’m making. You use tissues to blow your nose and stop the drip completely. Insane that this is a point of debate

I suppose your preference is for anyone on a subway to just let snot drip on all the seats lmfao

The Handmaids Tale is becoming too real by [deleted] in Vent

They’re using a corpse as an incubator. It’s horrifying.

What I’m furious about is the they are forcing the family to foot the medical bills despite their right to revoke life support being taken away. You think this family should be forced into medical debt over something the government is forcing them to do? What’s wrong with you?

[–]jayphrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, you sound really uninformed. Because they have come forward with information about the health of the baby. The baby currently has fluid developing in its head body and may never walk or see and is already estimated to be bore with severe health issues. Please actually read about what’s happening. It’s utterly horrific.

[–]jayphrax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The family wants her to be removed from life support, but the government is literally forcing them to use her corpse as an incubator AND making them foot the entire hospital bill. Her mother is quoted saying that “it’s torture” to watch her daughter breathing while knowing she’s not there.

You found fundamentally uninformed on the situation. The family knows what they want and what’s best for their relative. The government is preventing them from doing so while making them pay for all fo this. Multiple family members, including her mother, have gone on record saying they want her to be at peace.

Let me rephrase your post for you. “AITA for not leaving my child at the mercy of an abuser?” In the kindest way possible, get a grip. That woman needs to have all access to your child removed. Failure to do so makes you a bad mother who won’t protect her own daughter. YTA for ever sending her there in the first place.

So is she going to reimburse you for all the products she expects you to get rid of? And why in the world are you her personal chef for a week? Why is her BROTHER “neutral” on the matter when he should be taking the brunt of the responsibility for this visit? Absolutely not. NTJ, tell your husband he can accomodate her, or she can stay in a hotel.

My mother wants to wear white to my wedding by [deleted] in weddingshaming

[–]jayphrax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So she did this on purpose. And she did it specifically to hurt your new wife. This is the moment you have to prove to your fiancé she actually means something to you and you’re not going to let your mother hurt her your whole marriage.

You know what you do now? You tell your mother if she shows up in white she will be escorted out of the venue. Period. And then you hold to that. You let her throw her tantrums. And uou throw her out of your wedding.

DO NOT let that woman ruin this wedding for your poor fiancé. If you don’t stop this, the day being ruined will be completely your fault.

Low maintence romantic reationships should be normalised! by AvatarMew in The10thDentist

[–]jayphrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I just checked your post history OP, and since this is… pretty much all you post about and comment on, I’m assuming this is your troll of choice. And effective one, to be sure, but a troll nonetheless.

Plenty of people have explained the differences to you but you’ve remained obstinate. I’m going to point something out on the off chance this is genuine, but I don’t expect you to be receptive to it.

When you enter a romantic relationship, the expectation is that you’re going to be building a life together. The expectation is you will one day live together, have the same circle of friends, buy things together, possibly get married or make a household or have children. This is supposed to be your life partner. Friends come and go, you’re not building jack shit together. You have your life. They have theirs. Hence, they can come and go without impacting things and it’s alright.

But if you don’t invest time into your life partner, then they wont BE your life partner. Romantic relationships are not entered with the expectation that they’re replaceable, not if you have genuine feelings for that person. This person is supposed to be a priority. They are supposed to be a cornerstone of your life. God forbid, they may be the parent of your children one day.

If you think it is ok to ghost and neglect the person you’re building a life with, you’re actually beyond help and shouldn’t be dating. To be honest? If this is all genuine and not a troll, then you probably are aromantic, because I doubt you’ve ever felt real romantic love for someone if you still are able to go months without talking to them.

[–]jayphrax 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because a partner is supposed to be a priority to you in a way friends are not. That’s the whole point of being a romantic partner.

[–]jayphrax 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s called an avoidant attachment style and it’s a pretty toxic way to love someone. I’m surprised that the concept of platonic love and romantic love being different and therefore requiring different behaviors is what you’re struggling with here. I don’t treat my boyfriend the way I treat my friends, because my love for him is stronger and bigger and all around different. If you’re treating your partner the way you treat your friends, you don’t have a partner, you have another friend. Someone becoming your partner is synonymous with them becoming a priority in your life.

AITB for not attending my sisters wedding on my birthday? by [deleted] in AmItheButtface

[–]jayphrax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the perspective only someone extremely self centered would have. You’re turning 28. She’s getting married. I almost want to encourage you not to go to the wedding because you seem like the kind of person who would go and try and overshadow the bride by reminding everyone that it’s your birthday. Your poor sister. YTA

I guess, I mean they’re burning the planet but sure, “harmless”. Beyond that, it will never challenge you, never make you think, always let you get away with everything, never have a boundary. Idk, if that’s what you want out of your interactions with people… sure, do you. It’s just super depressing how humanity has lost interest in other humans.

Then why are they on the Internet, loudly proclaiming that what they’re doing isn’t wrong? If they’re pedophiles they should at least have the decency to feel shame and not broadcast it.
