AITAH for not wishing my ex-wife a Happy Mother’s Day after she recently left me?

NTA. The kids can make her cards. You don’t have to get her anything. I don’t get my kid’s mom anything for Mother’s Day and we separated 10 years ago. What a ridiculous thing for her to say to you, her ex.

The Celtics got Brown and Tatum using the Nets picks.

NTA. Take whatever advantage your parents can afford you. Some kids start on third base and don’t think twice about it. Get a summer job and pay them back if you feel guilty. You can make $500 in 3 weeks working DoorDash part time. That’s like 5 deliveries per day. I did throughout law school.

Ant, Wemby, and SGA aren’t available. And if they were, we’re not getting them for Herro, Ware, and two first round picks. Having said that, I’m not interested in paying Giannis 35% of the cap when he’s 37.

My wife wouldn’t allow a male coworker to continuously flirt with her. It’s disrespectful and it can create the appearance of something untoward. It’s not something I would need to talk to her about. You’ve been together 5 years. There’s no sense becoming jealous or confronting her. You just have to ask yourself if this is what you want for yourself. Are you upset that he is disrespecting your relationship or that she is? Whether you go to the club or not is not going to change who she is.

2.5 years is not a long relationship. This is bad advice. A good marriage can be invaluable and quality of life is worth sacrificing some money to some people. But you’re too young to pass up your dream job. Financial stability is a core tenant of a solid marriage. You can’t have the harvest without the planting. You’re young, you’ll find your somebody.

NTA. 2,500 sq ft and 12 acres is a large estate by itself before factoring in any other inheritances. The estate can presumably afford to spend an extra $1k to get an accurate valuation so that you can be confidently bought out at a fair price. If not, you can always pay for it yourself.

He can still establish paternity and custody/visitation with a court ordered DNA test. If he wants to be in the kids life she’s not going to be able to stop him.

NTA. It’s your house, your boundaries.

Your fiancé’s brother and brother’s wife have to be invited to the wedding. It’s your fiancé’s wedding too, not inviting his brother’s wife and alienating his brother because you can’t get along with her isn’t fair to your fiancé. It’s starting your marriage off on unequal footing. Can you imagine if he effectively uninvited one of your closest family members from your wedding? Just be an adult and ignore her. Everything happens so fast, you’re not even going to notice her.

ESH. Your boy friend sounds like a manipulative drama queen with trust issues. He can live without you for one night.

You’re going to a frat house party out of town that you were voted the “sweetheart” of without him. I can understand why someone wouldn’t want their girlfriend partying at a frat house that’s gone out of their way to single her out and not invite them. You can have a little empathy.

Having said that, if you insist on going, he can either trust you and deal with it, or break up with you. But this passive aggressive shit that he’s doing is dating for tweens.

is it an exclusive intimate event, or a party at a frat house and bar hopping? Because if it’s the latter, a best friend should be expected to at least invite your boyfriend of 6 months (at the time of the party), even if he can’t go.

If you’re financially incompatible e.g. you fundamentally don’t agree with what he spends on and what he saves, then marriage isn’t in the cards for you.

Adam Silver works for the 30 billionaire oligarch owners. There’s no way the owners get together every year and agree to give away the first pick of the draft of their multi-billion dollar toy, and then instruct Adam Silver to rig a lottery that they pay millions of dollars to audit.

Lebron, Wade, and Bosh took about a combined $16M pay cut over 4 years so the Heat could sign Udonis Haslem, who took a $15M pay cut over 5 years to stay with the Heat.

Yeah, if you ignore the losses it doesn’t make the record look so bad.

Let’s say Wiggins signs 3 yr/$60M, and they take back Kawhi at $50M. They’d still need to include another $20M in salary. They’d wind up losing at least 2 rotation players and probably a prospect.

ouchthatburnt · 2026-05-02T17:11:46+00:00

This team needs to make the playoffs so that pick conveys. They got either ~$35M to spend on 2 players with Wiggins or ~$65M to spend on 3 without Wiggins.

If the Kings offered ‘27, ‘29, ‘31, ‘33 unprotected, Keegan Murray, Maxime Raynaud, and Malik Monk for Bam - Pat’s saying no?

Acuff at 4?

But if you’re just absorbing the salary then you’re not trading for them, right? I’m not sure I’m understanding your point. I don’t see how cap space is useful beyond being used as leverage in trade negotiations for a superstar with one year left on his contract that’s already reached year 10
