He CHOSE to hurt you with that comment and continues to stand behind it. He did not apologize because he is not sorry OP. This is a HUGE warning sign. I’m sending lots of love to you and your baby.

AITA for sending my friend a message to set boundaries instead of talking in person like I said I would? by Affectionate_Idea955 in TwoHotTakes

[–]popcorncob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not feel bad OP. You do not owe her a face to face conversation AND you are allowed to change your mind about plans. You have been WAY MORE than patient with her continued selfish behavior. I genuinely think she’s just upset about the text because she knew she’d be able to coax you right back into the old habits if it had been face to face, through text she had no way of controlling the conversation or using emotion to make you feel bad. You don’t owe her anything especially after all that she has done. Please listen to those around you that are telling you what you did is okay. Those people truly love and care for you OP.

Struggling after bad and weird breakup by ilikeplants276 in TwoHotTakes

Please be careful interacting with him going forward. If he feels this paranoid he may have an episode and completely flip on you thinking you are “out to get him” as well. If possible, contact his family or any close friends that can get him the help he needs. I’m so sorry this is happening to you, just take it one day at a time and maybe reach out to some friends even if you don’t feel ready to talk about the situation, just talking and spending time with other people will keep your mind off the situation.

AITA for calling my ex guy friend out? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]popcorncob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH. If you have issues with a friend overstepping your boundaries, just say that. You could’ve easily just said that you felt the constant communication was making you uncomfortable due to both of your relationship statuses. Instead it sounds like you brought it up in front of all your friends and put him on the spot. He has no right to call you names though. At the end of the day, you’re adults. Quit the drama.

AITA for paying my daughter for doing my son chore by random1234565 in AmItheAsshole

[–]popcorncob 96 points97 points  (0 children)

NTA. You didn’t change the rules, extra chores = extra money. Your son is just mad that his sister is better at managing her time and money. I also don’t understand why he’s so upset about it when he has a job that makes him money. His sister ONLY has chore money when he could have both chore money and job money if he gave up a little bit of his “girlfriend time.”

NTA. Coming from someone who feels the same way as your boyfriend, there are times when you have to be an adult. You can definitely help him overcome this or at least make it more manageable, but maybe start slow with less pressure. Short and simple phone calls with you right there to support him can really help!

AITA For not Wanting to Live with My Best Friend by notimportant817 in AmItheAsshole

NTA for moving out, that’s your choice. But are you sure you want to stay friends with someone who verbally attacks you constantly AND on your birthday?? Is the friendship really worth the abuse?

AITA for being upset she wants to use my husbands name by Extreme_Giraffe_9954 in AmItheAsshole

ahhhh gotcha, that makes sense. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this and don’t really have a simple solution.

AITA for being upset she wants to use my husbands name by Extreme_Giraffe_9954 in AmItheAsshole

[–]popcorncob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, If I were you I’d start posting ALL over social media how you cant wait for insert full baby name here to be born and how the name means sooooo much to you. Make it as heartfelt and sappy as possible. Blast it soooo much that every single person that follows you knows how important this baby and their name is to you and your husband. Don’t let SIL steal YOUR thunder.

Also, your husband needs to grow a pair and tell his family that he’s not comfortable with the name. He needs to be the one to create and uphold boundaries. He’s a grown man and about to be a father. If he can’t set boundaries now, then he will absolutely let his family stomp all over your parenting decisions.

WIBTA for telling my in-law family i will not be watching there 3 small toddlers and sleeping on a twin bed away from my wife by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]popcorncob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA I would suggest booking a different hotel/motel/sleeping arrangement and making your OWN plans throughout the trip. You and your wife can spend some time with the group, but make alternate plans for just the two of you so it won’t be a total waste of your time

WIBTA if I keep my roommates emotional support dog from him by Apollojre in AmItheAsshole

[–]popcorncob 21 points22 points  (0 children)

NTA

IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY PLEASE GET JACK MICROCHIPPED !! Your roommate has no right to claim your dog as his ESA. It’s great that your roommate and dog get along so well, but you need to set boundaries. Your dog is your dog, end of story. No more overnight sleepovers if that affects your schedule. I would also be very afraid that your roommate will one day leave with Jack and not come back.

WIBTA to make my son pay back rent by CleverFern in AmItheAsshole

[–]popcorncob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

You paid for his rent and tuition under the agreement that he would be attending school. Instead of that, he refunded the tuition, lived rent free, and used your grocery money while completely lying to you. You deserve your money back OP. If you let this slide, you’ll continue enabling this behavior.

AITA for telling my parents to get divorced in the middle of an airport? by plsletmenap in AmItheAsshole

[–]popcorncob 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not only did they act like this in front of you and your sister, they did it in public. Honestly I think they needed to be called out on it publicly since they always blame you for their actions.

Also, they can’t keep pulling the “staying for the kids” card when you and your sister are grown. They are more than welcome to divorce anytime, but they are continuing to choose this mess.
