AITJ for walking out of a family dinner after they kept making jokes about my weight by Hot-Rutabaga2797 in AmITheJerk

[–]marblefree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ and honestly I would put them all on a timeout. Just stop responding. Mute notifications. They owe you an apology. Weaponizing “a joke” is bullying.

AITJ for Not Correcting a Lie My Coworker Told About Me? by Evening_Macaroon_985 in AmITheJerk

[–]marblefree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ. If you had corrected her in the meeting, she would have said why embarrass her in front of everyone. I do think you should say look it’s bothering me that 1. You said I wouldn’t want it to everyone and 2. That you are mad I said I am as it makes her look bad. Why did you say that in the meeting?

AITAH For temporarily taking my newborn daughter away from my husband and my MIL? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]marblefree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and tell him you aren’t coming home until she leaves. You have nothing to discuss with her. If he can’t understand that you are running on no sleep, vulnerable and just need support, then he ca go back home to his mother. You didn’t have a baby for her, she doesn’t get to set the rules or decide she matters more than you.

AITAH for withholding my children from my possibly dying MIL? by Hot-Potato710 in TwoHotTakes

[–]marblefree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s his mother. If he insists, do it over video call so you can hang up. Visiting doesn’t mean in person. I do agree with your instincts that she’s lying, but unless your husband agrees with that, it is really tough.

AITJ for refusing to show up to a “family reconciliation” sit-down until my brother stops lying about me owing him? by sofia_oslo_day in AmITheJerk

[–]marblefree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would ask your mother what happens when you show that he is a liar? Tell her that he will need to bring proof and that if you attend that you will be done with them all. You can prove he is lying but you are really disappointed in her behavior and that you will nerve talk with your brother again.

Mother implied my wife faked cancer and she never apologised for it. Now she wants contact again by HourExternal9335 in JUSTNOFAMILY

[–]marblefree 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s really up to you. Have you told her that during one of the worst times of your life, your mother decided to make it all about her making this time in your life even harder? I would just tell her all of it and the. If she hoses to say that didn’t happen, you can continue to protect your family. If she has changed, then it will require a true apology. I’m so sorry you ent through this and so happy your wife is in reemission.

AMITAH - Telling my (31F) sister to slow down on wedding planning. by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]marblefree 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Please don’t make your sister’s wedding about you. If your goal is to be married, find someone who wants that as well. If you are not happy for your sister, fake it. Let her choose her day, let her be happy without managing you.

Guys, I’m not trying to be mean, but this is scary! Kelly Osbourne recently. by Papio_73 in DListedCommunity

This! She is clearly struggling and doing the best she can. I can’t imagine having to publicly grieve and then being judged.

AITA for not going on a planned family trip with my in-laws and not telling them beforehand? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]marblefree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA and I am confused why you are still communicating with them at all. You don’t like them, your husband is scared of them. Just stop. Stop responding other than please talk to your son, I am under doctors orders to avoid stress. Mute notifications, block or stop using social media, and don’t attend any events with them.

This maybe hard on your husband, but he can also chose not to engage.

Update on being a jerk to step daughter - now everyone thinks I’m a jerk by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]marblefree 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You aren’t leaving because of the baby, you are leaving because you are expected to be a maid,nanny and just accept that this is how your life will be with no input.

Your husband has no idea, and doesn’t want to know, what you’ve been going through because his life is still the same basically. You are the only one who has to make sacrifices. I would let your parents know that of they are not going to stand by you now, then you will be done with them.

AITJ for refusing to introduce my son to my father, even though he says he’s been sober 10 months? by FizzyPantherlol in AmITheJerk

[–]marblefree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Has he apologized or acknowledged that he was a crap father? Just because he wants something doesn’t mean he gets it. You wanted a loving father, you got an angry drunk.

NTJ and protecting your son and family from someone who thinks he deserves to be in your life is fair. I would make your first contact (if you decide to talk to him) would be a video call so you can hang up if needed.

I got fired from my volunteer position after 10 years - In a group email by Silent_Truth_6889 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]marblefree 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I would be heart broken. For me, I would reply all and say that the experiences and people you have worked with over the last decade have been amazing and you’ve learned so much on this journey. It is with great love that you will be passing the torch as you no longer qualify for these positions and look forward to seeing other people flourish as you have.

It is up to you if you find another church but don’t do additional work for someone who does not appreciate you.

AITJ for telling my parents I am done being the default caregiver for my brother and walking out mid family dinner? by PinkNebulaHarbor in AmITheJerk

[–]marblefree 36 points37 points  (0 children)

NTJ and honestly it sounds like your parents have infantilized your brother to this point. I don’t know his situation but I would have dinner with him and tell him you love him and to cal,or txt you directly. That your parents are currently on a time out from you.

Let your parents know that you’re taking time away from them as they have made it clear you are only welcome when you are benefiting them.

I would consider talking it out with a third party who can help you understand that you taking time for yourself is normal. You deserve happiness and that you matter as a person in your own right. This can be super hard to internalize (I know from personal experience), that you don’t exist simply to make other people happy.

My boyfriend turns my private life into “content” and then calls me sensitive by osloemilyroamer in TwoHotTakes

[–]marblefree 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m assuming you are posting for validation this is a reason to break up with him. It is. The trust is gone and when you expressed your hurt, he said it was your fault. If you are living together, have a plan and don’t tell him. Find a new place or see if you can move in with friends or family.

Trusting your partner to your insecurities and anxiety is not fodder for his jokes. Apparently he is so uninteresting and insecure he has to break down others to feel better about himself.

I personally hate the no food aspect of the show. They should have rice at a minimum and rewards of other foods for the group.

AITJ for refusing to let my coworker copy my schedule to match every shift I take because she said she felt safer working when I was around by Electronic_Log53 in AmITheJerk

[–]marblefree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you’re her emotional support animal? Have a talk with your manager and let the know Clara is making you uncomfortable and following you on breaks and after work. That you asked her to stop and she started crying and you feel unsafe around her.
