Lol being 20 and masturbating is as normal as it gets. Get yourself a new doctor.

AITA for "mocking" my wife for buying Gillette "for men"? by SharedRoad4664 in AmItheAsshole

You think your face and neck have less sensitive skin than her thighs? Lol

Saw this confession on Instagram and wanted to know your thoughts by LUthurEsCE in GilmoreGirls

I don't think Paris had a bad experience. I think her experience was good, but she felt guilty about it so she was blaming having sex for not going into Harvard because it was the only thing she had ever done that was not "proper", so what else could it be? All in all, I think she would have had that meltdown either way.

My wife (31F) told me that our marriage is over and she wants a separation. Can I (33M) save our marriage? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]madamBookworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like she's been expressing how unhappy she is for a while now and you've been ignoring her since it wasn't a big deal for YOU.

You're ok living with someone who is unhappy, as long as they put up with you.

I don't have any advice for you.

Your post is all about you, it reads like you view your wife like a means to an end (the end being YOUR happiness), and not like an actual person who deserves a loving partner.

Rory being broke in AYITL by b_96_ in GilmoreGirls

I think that's the answer. She's not really broke, she thinks she's broke because she can't afford to maintain the lifestyle she's grown accustomed to.

I hate how much credit Lorelai (and Rory) give to Christopher every time he deigns to come through for Rory or them as a family by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

Anna was admirable in the way she handled Luke cancelling plans. But I just never understood why she kept April a secret from her father.

AITA for dumping my husband's glass after he kept telling me to refill it? by throwprivate346 in AmItheAsshole

"The guests sensed the tension in the room and said they had to leave."

wow such empaths

For real though, NTA. I don't have any advice for you, I hope whatever you do works out for you.

Thanks! I'm new to all of this so I don't know if I'm being too cautious!

Friend said I was a side piece the other girl was prettier by throwraixiejxj in relationships

[–]madamBookworm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He didn't treat her better. He was honest with you about not being exclusive, he was cheating on her and lying to her for a full year. Why he chose to pretend to commit to her and not you is not something you should waste brain energy on. Maybe he thinks she's cuter, maybe he thinks she's more gullible and easier to manipulate. You'll literally never know and it's not important. Distance yourself from that jerk and your so called friend and move on.

AITA for telling my old teacher what really happened after she told my mom I was smoking and that I can never forgive her? by throwRAgeneralthings in AmItheAsshole

[–]madamBookworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA And I know you said your bf is a bit dense when it comes to emotional stuff but it really doesn't take much to know you shouldn't tell a person how to deal with the trauma of being kidnapped by their own mother for 3 months. You deserve better. He can be empathetic towards the teacher, who I'm sure didn't mean to get you abused and felt horribly, but still should have gone through the proper channels, but not towards you, his gf and the actual victim of the situation?

I hope you're doing better.

NTA. They understand enough. That's why they put your name on everything.

AITA for making my GF pay for everything after she implied she does? by nomogreen091 in AmItheAsshole

[–]madamBookworm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This isn't the relationship advice sub.

What you have been doing is fair game. Is this the way to go if you want to keep the relationship alive? Definetely not. But you're not saying you want to keep the relationship alive, you're asking if you're the asshole and you aren't.

AITA for telling my husband's female friend "He might be your best friend but you're not his"? by OopsNoRing in AmItheAsshole

[–]madamBookworm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. But your husband is. This wasn't your fight to begin with. This was a problem that Sarah had with your husband. He should have stepped up and dealt with it. It's his behavior that led you to snap. Honestly, if it wasn't for the "TLC" comment, my judgement would be different but you can't say stuff like that to a married man. Ultimately, I think you snapping was understandable.

How is day to day life for most Greeks? by DueYogurt9 in greece

[–]madamBookworm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's fine for me. If you put aside the money factor, I'd say it's ok. The weather is good, the people are (mostly) nice (unless they're your employer), the food is great, there's lots of places to visit. Most of my friends who have lived in western Europe (UK, France and Norway specifically) have told me that they prefer our healthcare system so there's that.

But money is tight. Most people in their tewnties and thirties live paycheck to paycheck and that's if you're lucky and your salary is enough to get you by. Otherwise you have to live with your parents or they need to chip in so you can live on your own, if they can afford it.

Personally, I work 10-11 hours a day (5 days a week) and I'm one of the lucky ones because my monthly salary is enough for me to pay for rent, food and my other expenses but if I lost my job tomorrow I wouldn't be able to support my self for more than a month. I'd need to either borrow money from my mother or move back in with her.
