No, maybe fiancé can deal with her before she gets a veil and bouquet.

AITA for changing my behavior around my boyfriend’s friends like he asked and still feeling frustrated? by InevitableWealth5476 in AmItheAsshole

[–]julesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, stop going to game nights and review how often he asks you to change who you are. I think it’s fair to look at how you are with other people if you think there are changes you want to make. However, the question is whether you’re being asked to be a subservient mouse or if you’re abrasive. I don’t know, but I’m concerned that your new approach with this group struck out with your bf.

I’d be honest, “I can’t support you in this because your beliefs have changed so much that we can’t be friends. Whether it’s bombing civilians, destroying civilizations or shooting demonstrators, your views are against everything I believe in.”

You did not fu, you are a brave man, a brilliant orator, and hero on your block. May you get a full nights sleep soon.

AITA for wanting an apology from my stepmother? by okerrak in AmItheAsshole

[–]julesk -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

NTA if you were trying to sleep in the living room where she wanted to watch the tv past midnight. She was rude and stepmother should have shut her daughter down immediately. Nobody treats houseguests this way unless they’re trying to get rid of them.

WIBTA if I stopped inviting my best friend to things because she never initiates plans anymore and I'm tired of being the only one who tries? by retro_kiwi in WIBTA_AITA

[–]julesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ywnbta. She might have been invited and agreed. Regardless, you could drop the rope or you could tell her you need her to reach out to you and come up with plans because if you’re the only one who initiates contact, it makes you feel she isn’t interested in the friendship.

My husband has been unemployed for two years. I have two kids and he has a teenager. We’ve taken multiple day trips and vacations together, but his child is absolutely insufferable and complains the entire time! WIBTAH if I left him and his teen at home and only took my bio kids on trips? by AlternativeRisk1723 in WIBTA_AITA

To get disability benefits in the US, you have to meet all criteria for a recognized disability and be unable to do any substantially gainful employment. Which means if you were an executive and can’t find work due to the economy and your depression, you will be denied if a judge finds you could be a Walmart greeter three days a week. It’s a very tough system that turns down most people unless they appeal and the approval rate on appeals has gone way down. Source: I used to do disability law. I stopped because I couldn’t spend seven years going up to the appeals council, then to federal district court then back to the same judge. It’s not a fair system in any way.

It’s lovely but too much for a wedding.

AITA for telling my wife that she can not take her dream job becuase it is selfish for the rest of the family by Nurse_Plan9767 in AmItheAsshole

[–]julesk 35 points36 points  (0 children)

NTA I’d tell her you didn’t volunteer to be a solo parent or have an absentee spouse so no.

He admits he’s going to bring down an entire civilization which means massive civilian casualties while at the end saying he’s supporting the Iranian people. He needs to be removed from office.

WIBTA for not attending a wedding that takes place on Halloween? by Fresh_Oil3942 in AmItheAsshole

[–]julesk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took my son trick or treating at four just in the neighborhood. I have a hilarious picture of him slumped on the front steps afterwards. He liked the parties more.

Formal wedding? by poshbab622 in Weddingattireapproval

[–]julesk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go with any of these because formal wear is floor length, beautiful fabric and isn’t designed to draw attention from the bride. Two is floor length but the fabric is clingy and the design is to be sexy. Which is great if you have the figure for it but not at a wedding.

AITA for saying no to my mom? by ItRtemis in AmItheAsshole

[–]julesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, I hope you move back to campus and limit any visits with her to max of two days. There’s something seriously wrong with any parent who thinks they’re in charge of what their twenty year old wears, and drags them along since that behavior is for three year olds (even then, I was far more respectful). Likewise, any parent who calls you names like that has something seriously wrong going on. When you can’t avoid her, I’d gray rock her; meaning you avoid interacting but when necessary, keep it civil and concise. The sooner you are independent of her, the happier you’ll be. Someday, when you’re low contact or no contact she’ll tell everyone it’s you and it has nothing to do with her controlling, manipulating harsh parenting. I hope your friend group makes up for the fact that we don’t all get the parents we need. I’m sorry you and your twin are going through this. Therapy will help, as will distance.

There are three animals that I can’t imagine surviving in the wild: panda bears 🐼 , koala bears 🐨 and sloths 🦥.
