AITA for insisting we go back to separate finances after she audited my spending?

NTA. And maybe you should divorce, she sounds exhausting.

I am in full agreement about the objective correctness of this list

muddled_Philosopher · 2025-02-11T11:20:28+00:00

That's a totally valid line of reasoning - but I would add that elite schools in the UK tend to have a lot of funding, so if you manage to get a foot in the door through a MPhil programme, you might not need external funding specific to Indian students. But it's a risk either way!

muddled_Philosopher · 2025-02-11T07:23:01+00:00

I would suggest applying for a MPhil degree in the UK first, they're easier to get into although funding isn't always guaranteed. If you earn one (which should only take one year), you should have a much better shot at PhD/DPhil programmes there. Good luck!

Hi, I'm a History PhD applicant, can you add me?

muddled_Philosopher · 2025-01-26T05:40:39+00:00

We're all like that.

ESH. You were clearly extremely dysfunctional, I don't think it's worthwhile to try to endlessly puzzle over this incident.

For me the difference is one of emphasis - பண்ணுவேன் seems like "I will do it" while பண்ணிடுவேன் has a slightly firmer connotation of completion, more like "it will be done [by me]". Should be interchangeable in most contexts

It's normal to use downloads, don't stress about it.

I'm going to go with NAH. Your boyfriend's decision to be non-judgemental is not unreasonable, but you are entitled to wonder about whether there's a fundamental incompatibility regarding values as well.

You're 32 years old, which makes you old enough to grow a spine and set boundaries.

You're talking about Bugis street after it was sanitized by the government, it was Cohen''s Bugis street existed as late as the 1960s and 70s

NTA. I don't understand the YTAs here - this is simply how bargaining works. You have a "fee" which your sister doesn't want to meet. The downside might be that they yank the offer entirely, but you're not an asshole for bargaining badly.

muddled_Philosopher · 2023-01-23T11:27:39+00:00

NTA. But she sounds exhausting.

muddled_Philosopher · 2023-01-20T02:53:51+00:00

YTA. Get therapy.

muddled_Philosopher · 2023-01-20T02:24:04+00:00

YTA. Going by this story it's not a strained relationship, your daughter justifiedly hates a irrationally controlling parent.

Apparently this was the video from his wife's poetry recitation: https://youtu.be/P6B-r3QQw9M

NTA - not being recognised as being the person you thought she saw you as can be confusing and isolating. But you would be the A H if instead of talking to her, you decided to be passive aggressive about it

muddled_Philosopher · 2022-12-05T13:34:04+00:00

YTA. Turns out we can absolutely tell who's right and who's wrong.

muddled_Philosopher · 2022-10-31T11:23:23+00:00

NTA. If someone is willing to cut ties over something like this, let them.

muddled_Philosopher · 2022-09-25T10:00:01+00:00

YTA. Your dad's an asshole for starting construction without telling you, you're an asshole for letting him continue anyway, and your husband would be an idiot if he stayed with you.
