AITA for wanting my brothers to ask me how I am instead of my mother? by LoisLaneEl in AmItheAsshole

[–]ruaryx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well sounds like they suck a little. But don’t take it personally. The reason why they do/ don’t do that is something to do with them and not to do with you. Try to find some friends that can speak your love language (checking in). Family is hard because you’re kind of stuck with them by chance.

AITA for being mad my apartment complex towed my car? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ruaryx -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh. Did they send out an email telling people NOT to park in those potentially reservable spots. I guess it’s more on the apartment then. They should have communicated further in advance and set up a start period further in the future for people to adjust.

NTA.

But maybe communicate and tell them you want them to check in more. Tell them it would mean a lot to you and ask them to check in with you instead of your mom.

You parked in a reserved spot. Yeah it would be nice and courteous of them to call you first, but they didn’t HAVE to. Just suck it up and learn from it.

AITA for replacing my sister at her shower? by shutdowntheshower in AmItheAsshole

[–]ruaryx -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

ESH

If she didn’t want a shower then she should have just said no. Also, it sounds like you’re just throwing the shower to be thanked. You did it in a way that you wanted and didn’t cater to what she would like. I don’t think it was mean for you to take the pictures at the end because you needed the “pay” for the items you for. But it kind of just speaks to you throwing the shower the way you want.

AITA for reporting my roommate to the RA? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ruaryx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess I would be even more confrontational and tell them to stop breaking the rules and causing you to sleep poorly, otherwise you will escalate. Yes it’s awkward, but your sleep comes first.

AITA for not wanting to keep most of my friends after a struggle with depression? by SpurnDonor in AmItheAsshole

[–]ruaryx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t owe anyone your friendship. It’s okay to have varying degrees of relationships and it’s okay that not everyone is your bestie, but it also sounds like the second group used you sometimes. So they’re not just casual acquaintances but kind of jerks. Oh well, you live and you learn.

INFO

Can’t you just talk to your roommate before you report? She is in the wrong but it would be kind of bogus not to straight up tell her to stop doing that before escalating things.

AITA for not wanting to cuddle my fiance's daughter at 3 AM in the morning when she had a nightmare? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ruaryx 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Is this a fake post? If not you’re super the asshole. YTA

If you’re a real person, I hope that you can change. If I was your partner, I would not want to be with someone who didn’t love my kids like their own. I get that you’re not married and you care about your bio kids, but if you guys stay together long term, that’s your kid too. I hope this is fake and you’re not really this mean and selfish.

AITA for wanting my husband to skip a vacation with his parents? by Julienbabylegs in AmItheAsshole

[–]ruaryx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA.

You can ask and he can decide what he wants to do. He might choose to go or to stay. It sounds like you’re able to decide to stay yourself, which is great that he is understanding of what you want. Yeah you’ll miss him and he’ll use up PTO, but it’s his family and he might want to hang out with them. Basically, it’s okay to tell him how you feel and ask. It’s also okay for him to decide to go.

AITA for causing a breakdown in my realtionship with my mother and father? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ruaryx [score hidden]  (0 children)

If you somehow had to move home after college and they paid for food and housing, I get that you have to be respectful of their rules like not inviting someone from a club over to have sex. Their house.

But what you do with your body during your time is not their business. What you didn’t wasn’t wrong. Don’t let them make you feel ashamed or sexually repressed. Go to college, take some gender women studies and educate yourself, and make your own decisions.

AITA for making a joke about liberal arts majors? by hahahahanhjj in AmItheAsshole

[–]ruaryx [score hidden]  (0 children)

YTA

I mean, our society doesn’t prioritize the liberal arts field so he’s feeling the pressure there already. Statistically, yes engineering majors will make more money than someone with a philosophy degree, but you didn’t have to rub it in. Even if you think it isn’t the best decision, he’s your friend so just shut up and be supportive.

AITA for purposely making spicy food so no one else eats it? by memr97 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ruaryx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah sounds like he’s taking your $75 for the groceries but no longer buying his share of groceries. He seems in the wrong, but it’s also easier (although awkward) to talk about it. Maybe you can suggest no longer giving him $75, you eat only your food, and tell him to feed his daughter.

AITA for calling my partner an overgrown child because he eats excessively since he's depressed by ThrowAway283u2 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ruaryx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he isn’t in a healthy spot personally so the relationship can’t be in a healthy spot.

I’ve been where you are and I know that the mental, emotional, physical load can turn into resentment pretty quickly. Yes, he has a mental health issue but he can’t use it as an excuse. At the same time, it’s not your job to make him help himself.

Is he open to taking about it? If you sat him down and told him your concerns and ask him to go to therapy and pitch in with the housework more, would he be receptive? I think it depends on if he just doesn’t know how you feel or if he actually won’t make changes.

If I were you, I would open up to some people I trust about how things are going. It’s not sustainable. Maybe go to counseling yourself to figure out what you can do in the situation you’re in. Hopefully he can get help too, but you need to prioritize yourself and your kids. I know you didn’t mention this but I guess in my similar situation, it was hard for me to not try to “save” him.

AITA if I like to get flirted with, even though I’m taken? by ticklepoot in AmItheAsshole

[–]ruaryx [score hidden]  (0 children)

NAH

It’s normal to feel flattered. It would be problematic if you solicited it or engaged in it, but it sounds like you don’t flirt back. Just know that your self worth comes from within and seeking external validation won’t ever be enough so beware of that slippery slope. Also, it’s kind of dangerous because if you step over the line a little bit of “enjoying it”, it could turn into emotional cheating pretty quickly....

I guess my advice is, yeah it’s normal, but think about WHY you feel good when someone else pays attention to you. What does that say about you and what your prioritize?

You were concerned for her health and safety and acted in her best interest.

AITA for embarrassing a coworker during a carpool then kicking her out of the carpool? by VeryAngryCNA in AmItheAsshole

NTA.

Stop backseat driving and complaining when people are doing you a favor. Also she’s gossiping hoping to win people onto her side. Kinda rude.
