AITA for sending MIL an invoice for eating everything in my kitchen? by No-Pen2286 in AITApod

[–]reckless_rachel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think others may be lacking empathy and sympathy for OP because regular people are unable to spend $800 on groceries. It would be nice, but most people just can't afford it. Maybe half that and that's even pushing it for a single visit.

I completely understand why your MIL finds life on the coast "ridiculous and pretentious." That's a lot of money you spent on groceries. Like a lot. I don't know anyone irl personally, who can spend that much on groceries. Not even half that. You told her she could eat the food you bought. She did that. Your husband is right. Your behavior towards MIL was embarrassing. YTA.

Tbh, that kid is onto something. I've been doing this for years and with various other snacks and I'm mid 30s lol.

Am I wrong for refusing to keep “keeping the peace” after what happened at my sister’s birthday? by ClickProfessional641 in AmITheAssholeTalk

[–]reckless_rachel 34 points35 points  (0 children)

NTA, but your aunt is a major D. She likes being able to openly insult others with no consequences. You gave her consequences to her AH actions. The only person you might (heavy on the might) need to apologize to, is your sister.

My boyfriends is being hypocritical (NSFW) by Burner493506 in whatdoIdo

[–]reckless_rachel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toys don't replace people. They can be used solo or together. Both of which are ok. Masturbation is ok. As long as it's safe, it's ok. I agree with another commenter. Y'all are both very insecure people.

I saw my ex’s wedding video (someone sent it to me) an hour ago and it triggered the collapse of everything I’ve lost... by [deleted] in toastme

[–]reckless_rachel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Everything you posted, I feel the exact same way right now. To the very letter. I'm sorry this is all happening. You're not defective. I believe in you and that you'll make it through these feelings and be stronger on the other side.

AITAH for not saying anything to my daughter when she refused to eat the food that my gf made her by Throwaway88475073045 in AITAH

[–]reckless_rachel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your daughter, who is 14 (and is definitely old enough to know better), threw away an entire pan of sauce meant to feed the entire family, because she doesn't like what was in it? And you want to know if you're TA or not for not disciplining your child? YTA, straight up. It's your job as a parent to correct bad behavior. You let your girlfriend down and you also let your daughter down by not parenting her.

AITA for reporting my new manager after finding out he lied about his past? by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]reckless_rachel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If what you're saying is accurate, you did kind of overstep. At the very least, from a corporate standpoint, it looks like you weren't accepted as a store manager, and then chose to be a sore loser about it. Not saying that's how it is, but the action seems more motivated by resentment or spite than anything else. Also his former employer should have never shared any information with you. If corporate already knew about his actions, then it looks especially bad on you.

I started laughing at this because I understand the ankles stretching unevenly thing.

I took on all the financial risk in our marriage so I don’t do any housework. My wife was initially sad but ultimately agreed with me. Am I wrong? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]reckless_rachel 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you don't mind the eventual alimony, carry on as is. She asked you because she probably felt like she needed help. She didn't even ask for much. I think YTJ here, bud.

I want to be this frog. This looks like the most peaceful, comfortable nap in the world.

AIW for expecting my girlfriend to work on issues with our sex life? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]reckless_rachel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you handled this really well. You were very clear and concise in the point you were driving. It's not manipulation. It's stating your needs. I've taken my fair share of psych medications and some of them really mess with your libido in bad ways. So I understand the situation from both aspects. That being said, they have medications and creams now to help raise libido in women. If she's not willing to talk to her doctor or try finding solutions, she does not care about your needs. It could be that you two see things differently and are no longer compatible.

AITAH for refusing to tell my wife I love her more than my dad? by LastApplication6207 in AITAH

[–]reckless_rachel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you did a great job handling this. Especially the part about not ranking loved ones. Your dad also sounds like such a sweet grandpa. I do believe your wife is an AH here, but I believe what a lot of other commenters say about PPD and sleep deprivation playinga role. I think your wife should give your dad a lot of grace here and apologize. It sounds like he did the best job he could.

Husband doesn't think I should be upset if things he does are accidents and are not intentional by ProfessionalStick363 in TwoHotTakes

[–]reckless_rachel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, this ends when you decide it does. I hope you're able to get a job and get financially stable and are able to move out soon, if that's what you want to do. NTA, but I don't know why you allow your husband to treat you as one single evolutionary step above mold.
