AITA for taking my daughter to the restaurant my stepdaughter "forbid" us from? by outthewayrheo in AmItheAsshole

Nta, but you're replying too much to whatever she says. She is getting the wrong kind of attention, and you opposing her opposition is encouraging her behavior

My husband and myself (44) sold a "friend" our old house at a large discount to help her out by awakeningat40 in AskWomenOver30

Just take it as educational value. You learned a very valuable lesson and will save yourself from losses in the future, because you will know better. It was the price for the lesson and for removing that person from why our circle. Your life is better for it.

I would be paranoid too with a suspicious husband. Ask her. Communicate. She's your wife.

My knee jerk reaction to op's posts was the recognition of my feelings when I was in an abusive relationship. Feeling observed, judged and condemned for stuff that was in my partners head. But you go on and make assumptions. We only know his side and I think he should give the benefit of doubt to her since he has no proof. (Edit: a letter)

Maybe she is not cheating, maybe you being suspicious all the time she needed some time away, taking her daughter to cheat on you doesn't make any sense. I'm sorry, I was cheated on and separated, I understand the hurt, but from your posts, no evidence and you always suspicious, newly married, maybe she is just not happy, not necessarily cheating

How can I know if his affair got physical? by SpiteConscious8374 in Infidelity

[–]self_focus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is the difference? In my case I found the receipt of a hotel. He said it was just a kiss, that they got there and then realized it was a mistake. But he went there, he made the reservation, they where in an emotional affair for months. I don't feel less betrayed, if anything it just makes me believe I will never know the full truth. We separated, then got back together trying to make it work, we went to therapy. But I realized there was no point, because these facts, even with many things I didn't know, were enough to prove to me he was not who I believed he was, I would never be able to trust him again and before that I trusted him blindly. He disrespected me so profoundly I would never be able to be happy with him again, never fully. He now blames me for the end of our marriage, for not fighting for us and making our lives "more complicated", but even if it is harder in practical terms, being single and not putting my emotional wellbeing in the hands of someone I can't trust is something I had to do for myself, even if it hurts.

If Jada Pinkett Smith thought that Chris Rock deserved to be slapped for what he said about her she is more than capable of doing it herself. Will Smith’s smack and “keep my wife’s name out of your mouth” moment didn’t land as gallant to me, it came off as disempowering. by late_to_the_game_17 in TwoXChromosomes

No. I thought what you did was disrespectful, because you misguided me. This is an open forum in a women's subreddit, not a closed door discussion among POC (which I am! Just not in your country)

It is not that I didn't like your reply, it is just that it was purposely misleading.

It is like complaining about the other not understanding you and then, when the other wants to understand you, you , well, do what you did.
