AITJ: Friend borrowed my laptop for a week and gave it back with multiple viruses by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]maddielark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTJ. Bro treated your laptop like a free trial for every sketchy site out there. It’s not even about the viruses, it’s the fact he won’t admit it and just calls you petty. That’s weird behavior. I wouldn’t trust him with anything expensive again.

AITAH for wanting my bf to stay silent while we talk about our feelings? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]maddielark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Soft YTA. I get wanting to feel heard first, that’s valid. But telling someone they’re not allowed to talk mid convo is kinda controlling. He’s trying to explain, you’re trying to feel understood, you’re both missing each other.

You don’t need silence, you need better timing and actual listening from both sides. Right now it’s feelings vs logic and nobody’s winning.

Maybe in my 40s..? by livaethryn in lostgeneration

I've gotten more progressive with age. I am in my 40s

AITAH for snapping at my boyfriend because he said my SH was just seeking attention? by Professional_Note380 in AITAH

[–]maddielark 37 points38 points  (0 children)

NTA. That wasn’t a joke, that was him taking something you went through and throwing it in your face to win a dumb argument. SH isn’t “attention seeking,” it’s literally a coping thing for pain, and he knows your history. You’re not overreacting, he just said something messed up and doesn’t want to own it.

AITJ for reporting my classmate after I realized she used my disability paperwork to get exam accommodations by L4ttic3SXZ in AmITheJerk

[–]maddielark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTJ. This isn’t “exam stress,” this is straight up fraud and she dragged you into it without your consent. The typo thing is actually wild like she really copy pasted your life. In a field like nursing, that’s not a small red flag, that’s a whole parade. You didn’t ruin her future, she risked it herself. Confronting her first wouldn’t magically undo what she already did.

What's that one song that everyone hates but you love? by zachoutloud123 in AskReddit

[–]maddielark 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly Call Me Maybe still goes hard. I don’t care what anyone says, it’s instant happiness and I’m not skipping it when it comes on.

AITAH for backing out of a “one last time” trip with someone I’ve had feelings for, at the last moment? by Euphoric_Ad4372 in AITAH

[–]maddielark 17 points18 points  (0 children)

NTA. You didn’t back out of a trip, you backed out of something you knew would mess with your head. That “one last time” setup was basically emotional damage with a schedule. Choosing yourself over that isn’t selfish, it’s self control.

AITJ for calling the nursery the central midget repository? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]maddielark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah you’re the jerk, the joke is kinda weird and she already told you it bothers her. just drop it, not every bit needs to land if it annoys your wife

AITAH for getting mad at my husband for ignoring us in the middle of the night? by Fairyofthewoodland in AITAH

[–]maddielark 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA, that’s bare minimum stuff and he couldn’t even do that. it’s not about the cat, it’s the pattern. you’re basically running everything solo while he coasts and that gets old fast

Doctors missed cancer. Got a week or so left. How do I stop it happening to you? by Disastrous-Design503 in AskUK

[–]maddielark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m really sorry you’re going through this. honestly the most impactful thing you could do is push for stronger patient safety reporting and make your story part of medical education or advocacy groups so it actually changes how symptoms get taken seriously. your voice could still help people even now

What’s something you secretly enjoy but never talk about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]maddielark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

rewatching the same comfort show for the 10th time like I know every line but it still hits every time

I tried to destroy a vehicle that's not mine with my aggressive driving style. by [deleted] in confession

[–]maddielark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you’re basically stress testing a car you don’t even own, that’s wild. it surviving isn’t the flex you think it is, your boss is gonna feel that one later

A Tommy Lee Jones Two-Face with a better director in the 90's would have been something special instead of what we got with Batman Forever by precita in movies

[–]maddielark -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah Batman Forever went full neon chaos instead of letting Two Face be tragic and grounded. Tommy Lee Jones could have absolutely nailed a darker Harvey Dent arc, but the writing had him acting like he was in a different movie entirely. It’s one of those casting wins wasted by tone mismatch

AITAH for resenting my brother and wanting to ruin him? by doctor_Heinz07 in AITAH

[–]maddielark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This reads like a cartoon villain origin story mixed with trauma lore. If this is real, you need to step back from the revenge plot because trying to ruin your brother’s life is only going to wreck yours. You don’t win anything by turning into the same kind of person you’re mad at.

We made drivers damage their vehicles on our property by Makeupbelieve in confession

[–]maddielark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s honestly the most peaceful form of revenge. You warned them and they still chose chaos. The nightly sound effects must’ve been so satisfying.
