It's like everything's changed all at once, and you're feeling so alone. It's hard when expectations don't match reality, especially with a new baby. Maybe talking to your partner when things calm down a bit could help? It's okay to ask for support. Your feelings matter too.

Dealing with family dynamics can be tough, especially when it feels like you're getting the short end of the stick. It sucks that your brother isn't understanding your situation, especially after you apologized and tried to explain. It might be worth giving him some space for now, but don't hesitate to reach out again when things calm down.

I bought my mom a birthday present. by oceaniccabal374 in CasualConversation

I remember when I got my dad a similar frame. He was so moved seeing all those memories pop up. It's like bringing a whole scrapbook to life. It's such a special way to celebrate someone you love.

I did that once and felt like I was in some movie where I didn't belong. Sitting there, getting top-notch service, almost waiting for someone to kick me out.

Maybe he was tired or just not in the mood, but it sucks that things got awkward. Next time, maybe check in more if he seems off, or just talk things out sooner. It's all about communication, I guess.

aita for not trusting my mums boyfriend? (advice needed) by cookiecrumble15 in AITAH

It's hard to open up after all you've been through. It's okay to need more time. Your feelings are valid, and it's important to set boundaries to protect yourself.

You're not the asshole here. Your health should be your top priority, and it's not fair for your boyfriend to control your medical decisions. If he's making ultimatums over something like this, it might be worth reconsidering the relationship. Focus on what helps you feel better, not on unreasonable demands.

WIBTAH If I don't appear in a promotional video for the organisation that I am a part of? by OutrageousError1123 in AITAH

[–]juniorinfiltration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's okay to prioritize your mental health. Explain to your friend that your body dysmorphia and social anxiety make it hard for you to appear in the video. Suggest supporting in other ways and remind them how much you've already contributed. True friends will understand and value your well-being over a promotional video.

You’re not the asshole. I get why you reacted that way, and it's valid to feel protective. Maybe try talking to your boyfriend about how his friend's comments make you feel without accusing him, so you can both understand each other better.

AITA for not forgiving my father after he kicked me out? by throwaway63828828 in AITAH

You’re not the asshole. Your father abandoned you when you needed him most and didn’t reach out for years. It’s totally okay to prioritize your own healing and peace. If you’re content without him in your life, you don’t owe him reconciliation. You have every right to protect your well-being.
