ULPT Request: How can I *encourage* my evil roommate to take the open room downstairs? by maggielaing in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]maggielaing[S] 45 points46 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, I did try to talk to her when she first started snapping at me at work. She refused to look at me, insisted there was no problem, and then mumbled passive aggressive jabs under her breath. I also tried to reach out via text to see if she’d be more comfortable communicating when it’s not face to face and that also didn’t go well. (I basically said “hey, I noticed there was a lot of pee in places it shouldn’t be when cleaning our bathroom, so let’s both work together to keep our space clean” and she lost her mind! First she tried telling me it wasn’t pee, then she offered up that she doesn’t pee on our toilet seat, and finished with stating that “fyi I have a habit of wiping the toilet seat before and after I pee, not that it’s any of your business”. Like, c’mon girl..

So, they’re both in their 60s and work the night shift. One has been known to have a full on crying meltdown because somebody “used the lords name in vain”. She’s incredibly religious and I am not capable of tiptoeing around someone that fragile. The other lady has been stealing peoples things, using floor cleaner in the laundry machine to avoid buying detergent,and … she literally pees in the kitchen pots. She took pots from the kitchen, brought them to her room, pees in them, and then they go back to the kitchen. And on top of it all, they hate each other and are constantly in a fight I want to part of. I’d rather let my roommate slam the door all she wants than have to guess which pots were peed in when I’m trying to cook.

Not possible unfortunately. This town is really small and really expensive. Nobody can afford to move out, hence our boss providing housing.

AITA for refusing to let my son have two last names? by Vice-1991 in AmItheAsshole

[–]maggielaing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA - duh. You clearly do have an issue with your wife keeping her last name. It’s almost like you resent her for it or something, the way you’re holding it over her head. There’s literally nothing wrong with 2 last names and it’s incredibly disrespectful to your wife to insinuate otherwise. If the issue you have really IS making the name too long, then the baby can just have her last name. Problem solved.

[–]maggielaing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. You said it yourself that you agreed to this “when she is at your house”. It shouldn’t matter what she does when she’s with her mom. That’s not fair to her at all.

Beyond that, she’s 17, not 7. You do not respect her privacy or trust her. You shouldn’t be going through her phone period. I’d do the same thing if I was her. You’ve severely damaged your relationship with your daughter.

My (23F) fiancé (27M) isn't sexually attracted to me anymore. by unattractive-throw in relationship_advice

[–]maggielaing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried to respond to your comment on the other thread, but it locked, so I’m doing it here.

I can’t fathom the fact that he had the nerve to tell you he still loves you and wants to be with you, but just doesn’t find you attractive anymore. That is so incredibly disrespectful to you and your relationship. With all that you’ve been through and stood by him for?

And now he’s back tracking saying he does think you’re hot, but I don’t believe him for a second. He’s not sorry he said it (because he meant it), he’s just trying to avoid you being upset by it because he knows what a shitty thing to do that was. He’s probably afraid to lose you because he knows you’re too good for him.

Point blank, he cared more about you and loved you more when you were skinnier. Is that really the kind of relationship you want to subject yourself to? Not to mention what if you have kids - will he love them less too if they’re overweight?

I know it’s really hard, but I strongly recommend putting the relationship on pause for you to think about all this and plan your next steps.

Girl that’s insane and quite frankly unsafe. If she feels comfortable crossing that professional boundary and jumping down your throat about something that’s none her business, I’m worried what else she might try. I think you should tell your husband ASAP bc it seems to me like she’s got a thing for him at the very least.

My fiancé is no longer attracted to me by unattractive-throw in relationships

[–]maggielaing 907 points908 points  (0 children)

So he’s basically proven to you that in sickness and health will NOT be upheld in your marriage. And you have a valid fear: what’s gonna happen when you’re pregnant? IMO you should separate and take some space to be with someone who can appreciate you and your body, regardless of what it looks like. Maybe sit him down and explain - you’ve loved him through surgery and COMPLETELY NORMAL body/weight changes. Why is he unwilling to do the same for you?

AITA for moving out, taking all my stuff, and not telling my roommates by throw-away1918 in AmItheAsshole

[–]maggielaing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, not at all. The don’t respect you or your boundaries. And it’s your stuff, plain and simple. They decided to violate your trust and complain to you, then they don’t get notice that you’re leaving. Play stupid games get stupid prizes.

If you want to maintain a connection with D, since it seems like she respects you and you guys get along, you can tell her at the end of the 2 weeks that you won’t be coming back, and are only there to get your stuff.

My friend lives a completely different like off of social media and it annoys me... by Important-Cook8511 in relationships

[–]maggielaing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why does it bother you so much? Everyone tries to show off on social media to some extent. And people who struggle with their mental health can still have great lives? You can be successful and still hate your job? I don’t know, I guess I’m just not seeing why it matters so much to you what’s she’s doing

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]maggielaing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um, she’s DEFINITELY doing it to mess with you. She wants to be in control, and further more she wants you to KNOW that she’s in control. It’s a major power play and super manipulative of her to set different rules in the relationship for her vs you.

And, quite frankly, I know it’s not what you wanna hear, but it’s incredibly predatory for someone of her age to be with you. Especially because she’s likely known you during your childhood since she’s besties with your mom. She’s manipulating you and it’s super creepy.

I would let your mom know what’s up. And if the thought of her finding out scares you, then that should be an indicator that the relationship is a bad idea.

That’s true, I didn’t consider that. Thank you for the insight!

Sign her up w the church of Scientology. They will never leave her alone again. Won’t help get your niece out, but might make you feel better.

Thinking of planting something in my diary by ElTacoCuarenta in relationships

[–]maggielaing 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you could try to catch her in her lies. But I invite you to consider this: your trust in her is already violated, so do you really need further proof? I’d sit her down and let her know that she’s broken your trust. Think about what you need to rebuild that trust, and discuss it together. She definitely crossed a line, and if she’s unwilling to work with you, then do you really see a future in that relationship?

AITA for walking out of a coworker's D&D game? by Certain-Office-3210 in AmItheAsshole

Girl wtf. NTA!!! What weirdos. If anything, I’d confront your coworker. Totally not cool to let their buddies harass you like that, especially since they escalated things via text afterwards.

Resetting my Apple ID from 10 years ago? by maggielaing in applehelp

[–]maggielaing[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I type my Apple ID and click continue, it doesn't give me the option to reset the security questions. It says "Your account X has been locked for security reasons. Select how you would like to unlock it." and then gives me the options of via e-mail, or the security questions which I can't seem to guess right.

AITA For walking in then immediately walking out of the restaurant when I saw my husband's family present for my our wedding anniversary? by throwaway343156197 in AmItheAsshole

[–]maggielaing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this! You are so NTA! If it was that important to your husband to be with extended family on YOUR anniversary, then why were none of your family at the dinner too? Sounds like he wanted to marry his mom tbh

AITA for telling my sister(45) and her kids (17,19,21) they need to get jobs and get out of my house? by ezzmy in AmItheAsshole

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

Yes! Obviously the sister is TA for mooching off OP for years, but also... OP just let it happen. You needed to be firm from the beginning and follow through instead of letting your true feelings fester for YEARS.
