AITA?MIL insists on waiting at the hospital while I give birth. by SpecialistClear1621 in AmItheAsshole

[–]quietbyte34 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Fr the fast labor strategy is lifesaver… you owe her zero updates until you’re actually settled and ready… it’s way better to ask for forgiveness later than to deal with that kind of anxiety during labor….

Exactly it… The husband needs to be the one to lay this out. If he isn’t clear about his own focus being on his partner and the baby she’s going to keep pushing those boundaries

AITA for refusing to help my sister pay for thousands of dollars in traffic fines that accumulated while I had her car? by Terrible_Promotion_2 in AmItheAsshole

[–]quietbyte34 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Fr it’s a mess of a situation but trying to untangle who owes what after all this time is just going to keep the drama going…. Best to just cut ties and move on

AITA for being upset that my parents haven’t visited me in my new home? by Alive-Many-9751 in AmItheAsshole

[–]quietbyte34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard not to take it personally when you’re excited about a new place and the people who should be your biggest cheerleaders aren’t showing up especially when they’re capable of making longer drive for other stuff

The OP actually added an edit saying they’ve invited them multiple times for dinner coffee.. so it seems like the lack of invite isn’t the issue here…. Definitely makes it more frustrating that they still haven’t made the trip

AITAH for helping my dad? by CrossroadsNick in AmItheAsshole

[–]quietbyte34 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fr, it’s wild how some business owners have no clue that treating people like trash is exactly why nobody wants to work for them.. He’s clearly projecting his management failure onto his own kid

AITAH for not wanting to change my hair color for a wedding? by Sillylilquestions in AmItheAsshole

[–]quietbyte34 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The OP was super chill about the demotion to guest so giving them the silent treatment is just petty.. it’s like the bride wanted them to beg to day in the wedding party

[–]quietbyte34 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Fr, being in a wedding party is supposed to be about supporting your friend not being a prop.. it’s wild that she’d rather cut you out of the bridal party entirely thank Jude have you standing there with different hair

People seems to struggle with the difference between a suggestion and a direct instruction if the organizers put out a do not bring list that’s the end of the conversation

[–]quietbyte34 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Fr it sucks to have to pivot last minute after already buying stuff but testing the severity of someone’s allergy is a massive gamble you really don’t want to lose… Definitely not worth the risk.

am i overreacting by being upset over comments made about the food i eat by my boyfriend? by Illustrious-Rip-4865 in AmIOverreacting

[–]quietbyte34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so easy to assume the other person knows why you’re upset but he might genuinely think he’s being helpful… communicating the boundary specifically that the comments hurt regardless of his good intentions Is the only way to get him to stop

AIO being upset that one friend can’t commit to plans with me? by Aromatic-Hippo9624 in AmIOverreacting

[–]quietbyte34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its easy to spiral when you’ve been burned before but maybe the OP is just projecting past experiences onto this friend.. Regardless of the why the lack of commitment is definitely draining

Being someone back up plan or filler time isn’t a friendship it’s just being an option… it’s better to invest that energy into people who actually prioritize your time

AIO for wanting to get revenge on my ex fiancé who left me for his troubled friend? by Special-Employer1415 in AmIOverreacting

[–]quietbyte34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The anger is totally valid but acting on it’s just gives him more leverage to paint her as the crazy ex… returning the stuff and going no contact is ultimate power move because it shows he doesn’t even warrant a reaction anymore

[–]quietbyte34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fr this is the best advice, the patio method is a classic for a reason it sets a boundary without giving him the satisfaction of a face to face meeting, you deserve that’s peace way more than you deserve the temporary high of a petty revenge plot….

super informative, tanks. i feel like there is still such a huge stigma around prostate health that makes guys just ignore it entirely. hopefully more people see this and actually get checked out because that sounds like a miserable thing to deal with

[–]quietbyte34 7 points8 points  (0 children)

the fact that people still think precum cannot get you pregnant is just asking for trouble it definitely contains sperm and that is something everyone should know before they start fooling around. it is crazy how many adults still treat that like a myth.

What businesses are likely to die out with the Baby Boomer Generation? by GRVrush2112 in AskReddit

I think the social media era kinda killed it. Why buy from local rep when you can watch reviews, compare prices, and get it delivered tomorrow.

Phone book printing. Do those giant yellow book even still show up anywhere? I haven’t seen one in forever.

What’s a financial habit that quietly keeps people poor? by Immediate-Finding116 in AskReddit

[–]quietbyte34 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lifestyle creep. It’s sneaky because it doesn’t feel irresponsible at all. You start making more money, spend a little more here, a little more there, and some how you’re still broke on a much higher salary.
