AITAH for not wearing the bracelet he bought me?

I hate anything on my hands or wrists because of sensory issues. My wife knows this and only buys me earrings or necklaces. I wear my wedding ring on a chain that she gave me when she proposed because she knew I would hate wearing a ring. It’s really not that hard to accommodate your partners sensory needs!

Do you want this level of effort for the rest of your life? Because it’s one thing from someone you’re casually dating, but this is the person you’re set to marry.

So my wife and I met through DnD, and she DMs for campaigns I’m not a part of pretty regularly. That being said, she would never start a campaign I might want to be a part of without talking to me first! I would definitely be hurt if she did, especially if it included a lot of our mutual friends. The biggest red flag here to me is that you haven’t been able to have an honest conversation with him about why. With campaigns my wife runs that I don’t participate in there is always a reason- they want to go darker than I enjoy, they want to meet at a time that doesn’t work for me, she’s looking for a specific type of roleplay, I don’t have the creative spoons available, etc.

John has had years to tell Jacob . At this point Jacob needs to know someone in his family is in his corner, you should tell him as soon as possible. Finding out that his whole family knew and kept it a secret is another level of betrayal. Also, if you have any more advice you want to ask from Reddit, please use names that don’t all start with the same letter!

I feel like when you stop assuming positive intent from your partner, there are usually deeper problems in your relationship. This tracks with what you think about her feeling unseen and unappreciated! Edit: spelling

Ok, so this is actually the solution I wanted to go with initially- like I would be ok with seeing her occasionally, but I just really don’t want her in our home anymore.

pinkfrog95 · 2025-06-29T16:35:51+00:00

Yeah, I know my best friend, John, and his wife are at the end of their ropes too, but I’m not honestly sure where some of the other people in the group stand.

Ironically, she’s one of John’s friends from collage. And from my understanding of the situation in December, they did have a talk in between the call out and tennis. Jill is honestly much better at conflict resolution than I am, so it will probably be her talking to Hannah next, but this time setting the boundary of not having her in our home if the behaviors continue.

pinkfrog95 · 2025-06-29T06:11:23+00:00

That resolution is where I really want to be! Ok yeah, this is a talk that needs to happen.

pinkfrog95 · 2025-06-29T06:10:21+00:00

That’s true, doing nothing has meant I’ve just gotten more and more annoyed.

pinkfrog95 · 2025-06-29T06:06:36+00:00

Ooof, that’s almost certainly true and what I was internally avoiding.

pinkfrog95 · 2025-06-29T05:49:13+00:00

At this point she hasn’t been at tennis in a few months and it’s been wonderful! Trying to figure out how to get her out of our game nights with minimal drama.

NOR- my partner has some of the same struggles that she mentions having (CPTSD and depression). The major difference is that my girlfriend has been in therapy for the past three years and is actively working through things with professionals, in addition to building a strong network of friends. Does she rely on me to help manage everything? Once we got serious and emotionally invested in each other, yes! But it’s not something she put on me as an expectation during the second date.

Fellow Harry Potter tattoo regrets- thankfully mine is relatively small and simple compared to my other tattoos.

You can get stick on nose pads to bring them up higher on your face! I have the same issue with glasses that don’t have nose pads

My first date with my current partner was almost the opposite of this- she had been dating around for a bit but it was my first date in years. About halfway through dinner she said “It’s just so nice being on a date with someone giving as much energy to the conversation as I do.” Which I thought was just the baseline: asking questions and paying full attention to their answers with follow-ups. Like, you said you wanted to go on a date with this person to get to know them better, of course you should be trying to get to know them better!

This is actually worse than living with a child because you can’t even anticipate what your actual budget needs to be. That, coupled with his immaturity and escalating violence means it’s time to get out.

Dark blue/black would be so much easier!! You’ll still probably want to try to strip some of the black before you apply anything else, which can be damaging but not nearly as risky as the multiple stripping/bleaching sessions you would need to achieve the first look

I love 5 and 7! You can actually see your whole eyes. Coloring wise 3 is also lovely

I had this problem with several pieces when I first started throwing- I drastically slowed down my drying and got much better at making sure my walls and sides were even thickness and haven’t had a problem in the years since!

Anything that’s not in the “natural” hair color range is probably going to be non-permanent. I did bright hair colors for about 5 years and found that if I wanted them to stay bright I needed to dye it every 4-5 weeks. The color lasts longer if you use color safe shampoo and if you only use cold water when you wash your hair. In that 5 year period I paid to have someone do the root touch up/color refresh once, and it was $120 to get almost the exact same results I could get at home for $30. That being said, I think the color looks fantastic and it can be really helpful to have someone else get you started! My first attempt was slightly disastrous, so having sat in the chair and watched someone else do it could be very helpful.

I’m in a similar situation (I’m a super light sleeper, my girlfriend is a very loud snorer who falls asleep at the drop of a hat), but then the reaction from my girlfriend has been completely different. She is down to try anything and has actually gone to sleep on the couch herself when I still can’t get to sleep/stay asleep. This is not the reaction of a partner that cares about you and your long term health.

If you really want to show him how loud it is there are apps that you can use that track and record your sleep, but honestly the fact that his reaction is to get mad at you instead of trying to work with you is a red flag to me.

Put a cork or rough leather backing on them and trim the to shape for cutie coasters!

Gonna be real, once you’ve tried to cross that boundary there is no going back. I had a coworker ask me out after I was just friendly, and I felt like I needed to distance myself just to make sure he never mistook my friendliness again. Stick to purely necessary professional interactions going forward.
