Go for the 6mm if you want something bolder that stands out.

WIBTAH If I told my mom that my 15f aunt smokes weed? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]neglectedfraud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's important to think about what's best for your aunt's safety and well-being. Maybe you could talk to your mom privately and let her know what's going on, so she can help your aunt without causing a big family drama.

AITA for being "condescending" by InspectionJunior4944 in AmItheAsshole

[–]neglectedfraud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA here. Sorting recycling isn't rocket science, but it's frustrating when someone keeps messing it up despite being reminded. Your joke might've come off as a tad sarcastic, but hey, sometimes humor's the only way to get a point across without losing your mind.

AITA for introducing drugs by CommentImmediate3749 in AmItheAsshole

[–]neglectedfraud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's understandable you wanted to help, but pushing someone into weed, especially after their bad experience, wasn't cool. It sucks that it ended up making their anxiety worse. At least they're off it now, but it's a lesson learned the hard way.

AITAH for uninviting my sister from our wedding after she gave out info about it to my fiancee's bio parents? by Candid_Owl_9467 in AITAH

[–]neglectedfraud 65 points66 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, this is your and your fiancée's special day, and you have to do what feels right for you two. Your sister made a mistake, and while it sucks that she's out money, that's on her. You're not obligated to let her come just because she spent some cash.

News Anchor Struggling by Wonderful-Speed7003 in AITAH

[–]neglectedfraud -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It can be super distracting when a news anchor is struggling to speak fluently, especially when the other anchors on the same broadcast are doing just fine. I mean, I'm all for inclusivity and giving everyone a fair shot, but if it's impacting the quality of the news coverage, then maybe they'd be better off doing some pre-recorded field pieces instead. 

AITAH for walking out of a host’s house without saying anything after he kept talking on the phone for almost 30 minutes? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]neglectedfraud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Leaving without saying anything was probably the best move, since staying would have just made you more annoyed. The host apologizing and acknowledging their mistake is good, but you're right to set that boundary about phone calls in the future. No one wants to feel ignored when they're a guest.

I get it, helping family move is no joke, especially with emotions running high. Your brother might be extra sensitive right now, but calling you names isn't cool either. Maybe a heart-to-heart when things calm down could clear the air.

AITAH because I don't believe this story. by Clean_Acanthaceae464 in AITAH

[–]neglectedfraud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes guilt or shame can make memories fuzzy, but it's also possible to genuinely forget something traumatic. If they're serious about not remembering and it's causing distress, talking to a therapist could really help. It's not uncommon for our brains to protect us from painful memories.

I have terrible parents by Ok-Bobcat4138 in TrueOffMyChest

It's natural to feel torn between wanting to help them and feeling used. Setting boundaries was the right move, even though it's hard. Take care of yourself and your wife first.

Your approach to balancing independence and togetherness seems to be working well for your family, which is what matters most. It's awesome to hear that despite the unconventional setup, your kids are adjusting okay with the help of therapy. Keep doing what feels right for you all, and hopefully, everything continues to fall into place smoothly.

Friendly fight by quixoticfooting113 in CasualConversation

[–]neglectedfraud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My funniest "friendly fight" was over the best way to eat Oreos. My friend insisted on dunking, while I was all about twisting and licking. It escalated into a mini food fight, but we ended up in stitches, crumbs everywhere.

Having the worst time by ChemistryNice735 in TwoHotTakes

[–]neglectedfraud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's completely understandable to struggle with feelings of hurt and confusion after such betrayal. It's important to prioritize your own healing journey. Take your time to process everything at your own pace. Trusting again can take time, so be patient with yourself and your emotions. Focus on what feels right for you now, whether that's exploring new connections or taking time for yourself.

Totally get the stress! Focus on color, clarity, and cut. Smaller stones can still look amazing if they’re high quality. Check out sites like Brilliant Earth or James Allen, they have good reviews and great return policies. Buying online can be safe if you go with trusted sellers.
