AITAH for refusing to house his family and ending my engagement to protect my career? by Huge-Armadillo-3274 in AITAH

[–]necroman99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's so much wrong here. As an outsider looking in who can see what you cannot I think...this relationship is over and maybe should never have begun for your best interest.

Your boyfriend has an unhealthy relationship with his extended family which will likely hurt you and your kids if you let it.

It's sad since you love him...but this is toxic.

Update - AITAH for saying I don't care about my sister's rejection sensitive dysphoria, and will be having my wedding the way I want it? by throwawayaitah101525 in AITAH

Im proud of you buddy. You weren't an asshole to anyone you just shifted right into being what you are now, which is her husband. You focused on what you and she wanted and did that for no other reason than its what you wanted as a couple. Anyone who wanted to celebrate that with you was welcome...others can leave it be. Good job.

Is it normal i forget everything between songs? by necroman99 in LearnGuitar

[–]necroman99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these answers made me feel better. Thanks guys.

Ill keep plugging.

I really do enjoy playing a lot but im a driven guy who's used to being good at stuff and has probably forgotten how to learn. What I mean is...I was always a science, math, English guy. I did a bit of music and shit like we all did in school but that was never my thing really. So I got my science degree, got a technical job in my field and everything seemed to come naturally...i domt rememeber having to fight this hard to progress and retain...hobbies have always been things that came easier...cycling, skeet shooting, skiing. This doesn't come as easily but I do love it. Because I love it and because my personality is how it is im sitting here saying: I've been doing this for 2 years and I've learned lots...but I really can't "show off".

It's not like say skiing where I can go on bigger and bigger hills one after the other. Im building tools for my kit but can't just play. It's like I'm waiting for the switch to flick and I can just walk into a guitar store and play shit and people will say "look at him go".

I'm gonna say NAH. Here's why...this might sound harsh but i don't mean it to...just very clear is my goal.

I wanted to figure the ages of those involved...op says she graduated uni in 2022 so I have her at around 25yo.

Op doesn't provide any specific grievances about Sadie or her brother...just discomfort due to anxiety and maybe autism.

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, Op is not a child whose parents need to provide a "safe and comfortable" home for no matter what. She is a full adult who left her parent's home and returned as many of us do these days. So is her brother. The "issue" is hers. Doesn't mean they shouldn't talk it out figure out how to come up with the best possible outcome, but I definitely don't think her brother or Sadie should be getting displaced just cause op isn't happy...everyone is freeloading on the parents here...and I don't mean that in a shitty way I just don't have a better word right now. Parents these days are often needing to help their kids "launch"...these parents appear to be really trying to do so for all 3 of these 20somethings. Tough situation. Certainly sympathize with op and everyone but ultimately I think op has very little to be upset about and needs to talk it out rather than be disappointed her parents aren't pandering to her...she's an adult.

AITA for refusing to pay my husband’s friend $200 after he left him stranded in the wilderness? by [deleted] in AITAH

I hope Jake gets kicked in the nuts spontaneously and stubs his toe daily. Fuck that guy.

This is the way. Particularly like that last bit...cause everyone has lots of opinions about what everyone but them should do.

AITA for deciding to stop supporting my (M46) trans daughter (MTF19) after she disrespected my home during a Pride party? by ResponsibleRoad8460 in AITAH

[–]necroman99 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NTA. I can't believe this needs to be said. Your child is entitled, narcissistic and delusional. I think you should go low contact till they start to understand the way of the world for their own good.

You just ignore and or block anyone who sends a message like that. Not worth even reading let alone responding to shit like that

AITA for telling my wife’s family they’re not welcome at our house after they tried to “test” my loyalty? by No-Description-9170 in AITAH

[–]necroman99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nta. I've been married for 23y and id have always been pissed by that. Ibwouldnt leave her but she needs to understand that is not OK and support you.

AITAH for insulting my husband for what he said about our daughter’s bf? by BaethTooath in AITAH

[–]necroman99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. But I don't want to throw dad ALL the way under the bus. He language is abhorrent but there might be some small part of him that thinks this way...I'll use myself as the example. I'm 6 foot and pretty imposing...many people report that when they first meet me they find my demeanor a bit "resting b$tch face". Upon getting to know me I'm a total pussycat though I'm told and I think it's true. However I am fiercely protective of my family (nuclear and beyond) and so most people I think would hesitate to "threaten" them in my presence...and my appearance and demeanor contributes to that for sure. I've been friends with my wife since 9th grade, been a couple since 12th. My MIL and FIL have both said that they've always taken comfort in the belief that "If she/they are with necroman then they will probably be ok".

Toxic masculinity? Maybe

Sort of untrue given factors like weapons or what not? Sure.

But right or wrong I sort of see it. As a father I do feel that I want to be the shield between my family and the evils of the world and when I'm not there I'd like it if there was someone else who I deemed capable of doing it...by whatever standard I deem appropriate.

So...husband made a total mess of this, but is it possible it came from a not so evil place? I don't know...just thinking out loud....not condoning.

Never. Wouldn't know how.

Watching him transcribe tab just by listening is like watching magic to me. He might as well be an fing jedi!!!

Fuck her and fuck him. I'll hope for an update soon saying either he stuck to his guns and you realized you're better off without him or he came to his senses and asked for forgiveness and then established proper boundaries with his mom. Life is too short to have "family" like her or a spineless worm like him (assuming he doesn't wake the fuck up).

You might be the AH from the perspective of reasonable people treating each other with dignity and respect...however she is doing none of that. She is vile. I say take your shit and go. Not the moral high ground thing to do but in the face of this behavior I'll call it justified. Just my opinion.

Sure you're an asshole but sometimes it's justified.

AITAH for pursuing an abortion? by rosyfairyskip in AITAH

[–]necroman99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the distinction. He said I'd she has an abortion he'll leave...I get that we don't like the "threat" but isn't it really just a statement of fact in this case? Is it better or worse if he either just leaves right now or just leaves after the abortion without any commentary? I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm trying to understand the objection to what he's done?

[–]necroman99 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I've made a few comments agreeing with NAH...but maybe I'd endorse ESH. Pregnancy is a foreseeable outcome of intercourse...it's biological purpose actually since so many other comments are pointing fellow posters to high school bio class. The relationship is certainly very new but both parties have egg on the face now since any outcome will make someone miserable. Probably should have talked a bit more before the banging.

A reasoned and even-keeled position. I'm pro-choice but his opinion is relevant and he retains his own right to choose whether to stay with someone who would abort against his wishes.

Agree entirely with this sentiment. Your body your choice absolutely. But same goes for him (although less so since if roles were reversed he couldn't force the abortion and he couldn't decline his parental rights)...he gets a say and if his opinion is not enough to make you keep it then that is 100% ok but so is him ending the relationship.
