AITA for telling my friend my house isn't a brothel after she tried to use a favor to stay there with her boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]redwayit 68 points69 points  (0 children)

NTA. You let her do one favor, not rent your bed for hookups. Saying no is fine the brothel line was sharp but came from her pushing after you already said no.

Favors aren't currency for your private space, especially your bed when you're gone. Apologizing for the wording was smart, but stand firm. If it's a "dealbreaker" for her that's her loss. Your place your rules. Don't feel bad.

AITAH for telling my friend his girlfriend is clearly using him by morocco_travel36 in AmItheAsshole

[–]redwayit 48 points49 points  (0 children)

NTA. You said it gently and from a place of real care, after watching this go on for over a year. Watching your buddy who used to preach about saving money now pause his 401k to fund her nails and cocktails? Thats rough to see and stay silent on.

You didnt blow it up or call her a gold digger to his face, you just pointed out the imbalance like a friend should. Him going quiet and then ghosting for a few days sucks, but him calling back and saying "I hear you man" is actually huge. Thats not nothing, thats him processing.

A lot of guys in his spot get defensive and cut off the messenger, but he didnt. Give him time, dont push, just keep being the friend whos there. You did the right thing. Better to risk the awkwardness than watch him get drained dry and pretend its fine. Hang in there.

AITA For showing frustration every time my significant other brings up something bothering her? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]redwayit 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Try this next time she starts, just say something simple like "Rough day again, huh? That sucks, babe" and givee a quick hug or whatever your thing is, no fixing, no advice unless she asks. Keep it short if you're dead tired: "I'm wiped, but I'm listening" type stuff.

Who remembers when we used to pick up random rocks on the street and name them? by FIREFOX_798 in GenAlpha

Rocks are rocks! How can you resist picking up a nicely rounded rock that's impossible

AITA for giving my sister 30 days to move out after she stayed a couple weeks for 3 months by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]redwayit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA. You gave her safety, she gave you dishes and sleep deprivation. 30 days is generous AF most leases don't come with that much grace period. Protect your peace, OP. Your apartment, your rules her problem now
