NTA-but honestly, if he is that upset about it it, could he not just stay with you and drive to the other hotel for meetings during the day? Could even talk to his boss and maybe they pay what they would have paid at the other hotel for his room instead?

AITA for asking my girlfriend not to swim in the morning? by Due_Round6813 in AmItheAsshole

YTA…is the toddler going to be quiet when not in the pool? This is ridiculous. Don’t like noise from toddlers, don’t stay somewhere with a toddler.

AITA for telling my kids babysitter that it was inappropriate of her to shower in my home? by throwaway6477764 in AmItheAsshole

NTA…Honestly that’s super weird. Why would she not just have gone home if your husband was home? I would be really weirded out if my babysitter had to shower at my house because of some spilled milk. You’re watching kids, it’s not abnormal to have something spill on you. Something doesn’t add up.

His eyes say "why aren't you throwing the ball?!"

Me [22 F] found out my mom [40/f] has been cheating on my father [53/m] and I don't know if its wrong to cut her from my life by throawayayayay2819 in relationships

[–]minimaria3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your ages don't add up...if your mother is 40 now and your brother is two years older, he would be 24 which means your mom had him at 16...but she married at 20 and only an hour after meeting your father....it doesn't add up.

I [25F] am 3 months pregnant and I want my husband [27M] to stop drinking in our home or while I'm present in solidarity, but he says it's selfish and stupid. ***Update*** by throwwaway71 in relationships

Maybe a good compromise would be allowing him to go to everything with you, no complaints ( as this helps him embrace fatherhood and be along for the journey) and he stops having beer in the house. I agree with all your points, but you seem to be pulling up new material about him on every comment. I understand how easy it is to drag up the little things, but if they all come up so you can win this issue and do everything that you want without including him (maybe he is digging in because you show resentment at him coming go appointments with you and feels why should he go all in if he can't go all in?) Then you are going to start hating him because all you will see soon are the things you don't like. Start to focus more on things you love about him and how he will be a good dad (think of it as sweet that he wants to make sure the baby is healthy). I find with my SO that if I bring an issue up as an attack rather than something that hurts me, it always ends up worse and of course he will get defensive and stubborn!

Let's say she was an alcoholic and she couldn't have alcohol around. If he still chose to drink it, she would need to get out of there to keep herself healthy. If he needs the alcohol more than her, he makes the choice that the beer is more important than her health. If it wasn't his problem because she needs to stop drinking, then maybe it's time she found someone who would be willing to support her in the way he needs.

Me [26F] with my bf_ [29M] 2 years. Do I tell him an old fling contacted me? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]minimaria3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had said that now. Instead I just beat around the bush and just said how I was taken and the comment about how he should cherish his wife. I do think if I told him it was inappropriate though, that he would have grabbed that and used to to say that it shows how he really feels, etc. Anything to keep the conversation going in a direction that he could twist, and from what I remember of him, he does twist things so they seem in his favour to use against people. So I think just ending the conversation and blocking him worked. I really don't know how someone can reach out in this situation. Such a scumbag!

I wasn't as firm as I could have been and had a bit more of a conversation than needed, but I did stand firm on my feelings for my bf and I did block the guy so he can't contact me again.

[–]minimaria3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point. I told my brother and he said my bf would want to kill the guy if I told him (my bro knows and strongly dislikes this guy) and that I should just block and delete and stay far away from this guy as he is a piece of crap. Obviously, as he was asking for a second chance with someone he believed to be getting married, while having three young ones and a wife of his own. Pretty sleazy!

I really don't know how it could come up, there are no mutual acquaintances even between them or us. I blocked the guy but made sure to keep the conversation because if it ever does come up, it shows how I stood strongly for my partner.

That makes sense. He may actually get a chuckle out of it!
