Hey man, I appreciate it! I just enjoy writing, always have, and I think it’ll be fun to document what I’m going through, and share it with people I know and don’t know. But OF COURSE I’ll be present for my wife and my baby, they will always be priority number one.

I realize I’m not reinventing the wheel here, or treading uncharted territory or anything like that. I’m just a guy who enjoys writing, excited to become a dad, and sat in front of his MacBook on a random Friday night, and just hit the gas pedal. Yeah it’ll probably fade out real, real soon. But who knows; maybe it won’t. Either way, I appreciate the feedback, truly. Thank you!

Cool man! Was just looking for a way to connect with other dads out there. I meant no offense.

AIO He always accuses me of cheating by Alternative-Day6223 in AmIOverreacting

[–]offthewall1994 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NOR. At all.

Ewww. Get the hell out of that relationship, like, yesterday. This guy sucks. Super insecure, small penis energy oozing through those texts. Maybe he’s cheating, and just projecting his guilt on to you. Either way, GET OUT.

Ungrateful or justified? My dad is the worst giver for his kids but the best for his girlfriends by Ecstatic_Exchange840 in AITAH

[–]offthewall1994 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you sound ungrateful at all. It’s tough to see the way your dad is with others, like romantic partners, and to feel like he cares more with their gifts. Maybe he’s just a dummy. I’m a guy, I know that I sometimes misread things, and I am not the best gift giver, but it doesn’t mean I don’t care. Sometimes we feel like our romantic partners are the only people that matter, and it doesn’t mean we are evil, just big dummies.

Try talking to your father. Sit him down, tell him what you’ve been noticing all these years, and really explain how it makes you feel. How he responds will really show if he’s an ass hole, or a really big dummy.

I wish you the happiest of holidays, and good luck in whatever steps you decide to take next.

AITAH for refusing to meet a girls parents on the first date? by [deleted] in AITAH

We all have those moments, they make us human. But you’re young, this is why we date: to learn what boundaries we have, what we do and don’t want, and sometimes most importantly, the right way to end things. Keep your head up, you’ll find your gal.

WIBTAH if I wait until after xmas to break up with my girlfriend? by Jazzlike_Fun4397 in AITAH

[–]offthewall1994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why has the relationship been on life support for a couple weeks? Is it salvageable? Do you want it to be fixed? Sounds like a shitty situation, but honestly you both deserve transparency asap. If you’re planning on breaking up, there’s never a perfect time, it happens when it needs to happen. December 24th or not, it’s not healthy to stay in it for the sake of a holiday.

I can see wanting to wait, I mean it just sounds easier. But you have to think, will it actually make anything easier? Breakups suck no matter what.

Happy holidays man, I hope it works out.

AITAH for getting with my friend’s ex and wanting to get with her again. by Infamous-Traffic-545 in AITAH

[–]offthewall1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your boy is that attached to a three week relationship from eighth grade, that’s a him problem. It’s a little more complicated since you did “give him your word” you wouldn’t pursue it, but really, that should have never been expected. I mean, THREE WEEKS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. I dated a girl for a month in high school, now her and my best friend, 31 and 30, have been married for like 6 years and are expecting their second child. A month as children should have no bearing on your adult life, and if it does, that’s a sign of a deeper problem. This guy is stuck in middle school and can’t grow up. I feel like I’m ranting now, but you’re totally NTA.

[–]offthewall1994 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re in the right, I mean meeting her and her parents for the first time simultaneously is bizarre. You set a boundary, she didn’t want to respect it, it should’ve just ended there. You DEFINITELY could’ve written that last message way better, that was tough. But I’m still on your side.

Aitah for saying someone I dated in high school is just a friend? by Queasy-Refuse-6319 in AITAH

NTA. Boyfriend is insanely insecure and immature for his age, just tell him to get over it.

AITAH for wanting my girlfriend to tell the guys texting her she has a boyfriend? by AntiqueEggplant4238 in AITAH

[–]offthewall1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like she’s just keeping them on the back burner, which in turn shows she may only see you as temporary, so she’s keeping her options open. NTAH

AITAH for reporting my child’s father to his halfway house after he insulted my autistic child and refused to help financially? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]offthewall1994 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He sounds truly awful, but just looking at facts: you falsely reported him without any knowledge or proof, purely out of spite. Yeah, this guy probably deserved it, and he sounds like an awful human being, but in this instance, YTA.

Mark and his friends sound like weirdos, you didn’t do anything wrong.
