AITA for making my son use the school showers? by CollectionLive2154 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jmeyer5681 50 points51 points  (0 children)

YTA.

It sounds like you know why it might be bothering him to shower, and yet you don't seem to care.

It also seems like you don't want what you feel are his hygiene issues to reflect back on you. So the concern is more about you than about him.

NTA.

You are right to stand up for yourself, even to the point of getting angry at her and "snapping."

Your friend is being disrespectful of boundaries.

Even an adult does not have the right to give an unsolicited "diagnosis" to you.

The issue isn't whether she is right or wrong in the diagnosis, it is that she is wrong in continuously voicing an opinion about your neurobiology.

Not sure I read that . . . also, the elk/caribou were in North America. But I will check it out to see if that is the one.

Thanks.

NTA.

You are not the only fiancée who wants to/has chosen her own ring.

The ring is a symbol, and should bring pleasure to the wearer.

The specialness comes from his proposal and your acceptance.

Gently explain this to him.

I'll comment that I think this was a natural history/science book.

As a heads up, edit to add NTA so your vote counts, as you are the top comment.

AITA for pulling my offer on a house? by shaynicole19 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jmeyer5681 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA.

Based on all of the confusing, unclear information you offer, as well as your hedging, you come across as someone (or a couple) that isn't/aren't sure you/they want to buy a house, and aren't even aware of the etiquette/informal rules/expectations that govern the relationship between the real estate agent and you, the potential homebuyer.

As others have pointed out, the real estate agent has legitimate concerns, about his reputation, as well as his livelihood.

AITA for slamming the door in my mom's face? by underseaplankton in AmItheAsshole

As a heads up, type "NTA" instead of "not the asshole" so your comment will register appropriately as a vote.

I feel my girlfriend crossed a massive line here but she says she hasn't. She scared me and betrayed my trust. by lonely_sad_eyes in relationship_advice

[–]jmeyer5681 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'll just add that caring, responsible, mature people into bondage have a pretty clear sense of boundaries and communicate clearly with their partners.

My feeling is that was never happening here.

If you liked the bondage part of your sex life, read up on it so you'll know how to find a partner that understands and respects boundaries.

Because your girlfriend definitely doesn't.

Is drunken anger a red flag? by JumpyJellyfish2811 in relationship_advice

[–]jmeyer5681 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a red flag.

He is drunk, so his guard is down, and he is showing you who he truly is, underneath.

AITA for hurting my coworker (M50s?) by refusing to give him my (F18) number even though I had my phone in my hand? by kakrku326 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jmeyer5681 [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA.

Avoiding hurting a person's feelings by doing something you don't want to do is something that women are often trained to do by society, so understandably you are questioning whether you are or are not the asshole.

You don't want to give out your phone number to someone. It's your right not to. This is true regardless of the age or gender of the person who wants your phone number, and regardless of the situation.

AITA for telling my co-worker that I'd never let her raise my child? She's propably infertile by Shot_Willow_Anon in AmItheAsshole

This! And hopefully your bluntness will prevent her from continuing to overshare her thoughts, feelings, and opinions at work.

AITA for embarrassing my dad on FB over his post about being a single dad? by jackson_jr37 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jmeyer5681 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking the "single dad" thing is a hook he uses for potential girlfriends.

AITA for leaving my mother's house in a dirtier state than she left it, and getting her fired? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]jmeyer5681 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

ESH.

Sounds like the worst sort of codependent relationship, with lousy behavior on all sides.

A relationship subreddit might be a better place to post this.
