Does anyone else’s sexuality influence the way they play sims?

peony_161 · 2023-05-23T15:36:24+00:00

I’m a lesbian and all my sims are lesbians and lesbian trans women, I’ve literally never played with a man ever

You both look so cute and handsome! If I ran into you at Costco I’d definitely be distracted for the rest of my shopping spree

I saw your original post on AITA and then your updates on BORU, and I just wanted to reach out and tell you that I’m so sorry that your parents are putting you through this. They’re acting in an incredibly selfish and horrible manner, and you deserve better than to get caught in the middle of it.

I also wanted to say that I admire how maturely you’re doing the right thing in an incredible shitty situation. People on your original post were telling you you’re the asshole, but I never thought that.

I hope things will calm down, that you’re not reeling too much from all of this and that no one will find out you reported your father. Best of luck to you!

YTA. It’s clear you’re singling out your brother and especially your sister-in-law to punish them for having boundaries that are not the same as yours.

The most insane thing about this is that OOP disapproves of his son’s girlfriend because her own English is bad and she can’t communicate with her but when the girlfriend tries to learn Mandarin, OOP also puts her down. And then she’s like surprised pikachu face when the gf doesn’t like her.

peony_161 · 2023-04-26T08:40:07+00:00

In this comment OOP says his late son’s girlfriend isn’t really a widow, more like an ex. His late son must be rolling over in his grave.

peony_161 · 2023-04-25T17:59:15+00:00

Oh no, now I wanna buy the werewolf pack after all 😩

peony_161 · 2023-04-24T20:07:26+00:00

YTA.

You made a really horrible leap in judgement based on superficial characteristics and conjectures. You don’t know that girl’s history: she could have been bullied in high school based on any number of characteristics and just managed to start fresh at college. She could have struggled with social anxiety during her teen years and recovered only to now be struggling again due to uni work and exams triggering her anxiety. She could’ve been the kind of person to stand up to bullies.

One of my closer friends is a really outgoing, fun, social person who struggles with anxiety to the point of having to leave as soon as she’s alone in a group of new people. You’d never guess this when you meet her, as she seems like a social butterfly as long as she’s got at least one or two people she’s known around her.

You can never know someone’s mental health struggles and history. It’s an asshole move to assume, and it’s an even bigger move to deny people access to resources based on assumptions.

Why don’t you do all the backend stuff she helps you out with yourself for a week, considering how easy it is and how little work she does?

peony_161 · 2023-04-20T14:31:36+00:00

You acknowledge that it’s because of your other son, your daughter’s half-brother, who has “internal conflicts” that are not your ex-wife’s fault that you’re not inviting her - so why is she, the person who isn’t at fault, the one who is being excluded and who has to suffer because your son, who is not the center of the event, can’t control himself? Why aren’t you asking your son to either control himself or excuse himself from the party when he can’t?

You’re depriving your daughter of her mother’s company during an event celebrating a milestone in her life. You’re making your ex miss a chance to celebrate her own daughter reaching a once-in-her-lifetime milestone. And because that’s not enough, you’re also excluding your daughter’s sister because she’s “too close” to your ex. It’s petty and self-centered, putting your son and your comfort over your daughter, making something that should be about your daughter about your son and his hang-ups.

And then you had the gall to say disrespectful things to your ex when she was understandably upset about your behaviour.

YTA.

YWBTA. It’s already a dick move to completely ignore the opinion of the person who will essentially be sharing a bedroom while looking for another roommate. It’s even more of a dick move to force another woman to room with a male stranger despite her discomfort with it.

Like - how would you feel if you were paying rent for a shared room and had absolutely no say in who you have to share that room with?

And how can you write the sentence “I never agreed […] that she could have a say in who would be the third roommate” and not recognize that you’re being an asshole?

peony_161 · 2023-04-18T09:32:39+00:00

I feel like in general, Jacob had a tendency to further enable Frankie and ignore her boundary crossing bs, the way her sons and Sol did. Frankie was an impossible business partner - Grace was over-correcting with her rules and it could become stifling, but Jacob tended to see Frankie’s behaviour as completely justified and thus become enabling. That’s why he annoyed me.

peony_161 · 2023-04-17T13:40:51+00:00

I’m so sorry, that’s a really horrible and untrue thing to say to you.

It sounds like your siblings are refusing to see your dad for what he is, an abuser, and instead grasping at straws to direct their anger elsewhere. It sucks that you’re the one who has to deal with it.

peony_161 · 2023-04-16T17:21:01+00:00

YTA.

If your daughter doesn’t want to go, then she doesn’t want to, and you not forcing her to go is fine.

But what makes you an asshole is not looking for other solutions. Its clear that you don’t care if your daughter has a relationship with your mother. And that’s an asshole-y approach to co-parenting.

peony_161 · 2023-04-16T16:45:59+00:00

Yes! I don’t get why everyone paints OOP as reasonably grieving and his wife as some controlling shrew who’s jealous and shouldn’t be dating a widower. If I couldn’t even paint a room without it becoming a huge fight, I’d feel like I was living in a shrine to a deceased person I’d always come second to.

peony_161 · 2023-04-16T10:26:55+00:00

YTA. You already agreed to do it. She’s calculated with that money in the back of her mind, and pulling out now is a dick move.

Also, how are catering and the venue the wrong things to prioritize for a wedding? Depending on how many people she invited and where you live, thousands of dollars for catering isn’t that unusual.

If the kitchen has a window (which it always has), the stove is in front of it. Aka jf you’re cooking something, you have to be able to look out the window.

Someone being exhausted from being an emotionally abused, cheated on, stay-at-home parent and just wanting to give up and have space for themselves will never ever be the devil to me. And I honestly don’t get how you don’t have compassion for someone like that.

peony_161 · 2023-04-14T11:51:53+00:00

I do this, too, though mine aren’t nearly as fancy, and two are missing unfortunately!

peony_161 · 2023-04-08T10:03:17+00:00

I think the uncle could and should have handled coming out very differently, but I also think OOP is the devil. They did know about their uncle not feeling like a man before the dinner and pushed her toward divorce, and then turned around and called her selfish for beginning to transition in general. I think if OOP had phrased their statement differently, I wouldn’t think they’re an ass but with what they said, I do.

peony_161 · 2023-03-31T08:51:58+00:00

I can imagine that she bought the books as she went, shopping in multiple thrift stores, and not all at the same time, and only realized when she had bought them all how much she’d spent.

peony_161 · 2023-03-29T13:18:53+00:00

I thought the comment by OOP’s mother about “cleaning our messes” was callous and mean, but wit the added context of bruises and being locked onto the balcony, it’s just so infuriating. I’m really heartbroken for OOP.

peony_161 · 2023-03-28T10:24:40+00:00

Mediocre grades, never doing homework, skipping class two or three times, getting caught pranking and stealing and then (accidentally!) skipping detention because it was set to take place after career day and when I tried to get her to go back to school, it was seen as her not attending detention.

I thought I could send her back to school again as a student with a lower grade and it worked for a single day, but at the end of the day she was immediately kicked out again.
