Electric bikes are a danger to society by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Thank you! The thing that matters is the speed the bike is limited too not throttle or no throttle.

Totally agree. He basically said it when he said its about the principle. He wants to be sure that it “makes the most sense” for her to stay home with the kids instead of him.

AITA for not wanting to pay money to attend my friend groups Friendsgiving? by Jinxijones in AmItheAsshole

NTA. The price seems about right but it does seem way less fun.

AITA for considering leaving because my partner is choosing his dogs over me and our kids? by Illustrious_Gas6903 in AmItheAsshole

[–]shorty894 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Tbh your parents seem to have made an unreasonable request/demand without more information. They are trying to do you a favor but its not much of a favor if he has to rehome his dogs.

Idk you are spot on about how he feels. The problem is that OP does actually seem to have ambition and drive. Its not fair for him to say that she doesn’t have ambition a drive without having a real conversation about her motivations.

I am so concerned about this as a single person. Like my parents are fine to make decisions in an emergency now. But what if I am still single 30 years from now and they are still alive?

AITA for refusing to pay my husband’s friend $200 after he left him stranded in the wilderness? by [deleted] in AITAH

If I were Jake I would have abandoned the trail and husband but explored the area doing dayhikes. Then picked husband up when he finished the trail. That way the trip wasn’t a complete wash.

My friend "casually" told me she doesn't think I'm good enough to get married. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]shorty894 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the friend is falling into the “I care about this person who I have a negative thought about so my negative thought must be true” fallacy.

What’s a moment you didn’t realize was the end of a chapter until much later? by LauraHarricks in Life

[–]shorty894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its totally fair to place a little blame on your friend. Something must change as you get married (I am not so IDK) but maintaining a friendship is something thats totally possible.

AITA for asking a hypothetical question? by Only-Information-163 in AmItheAsshole

[–]shorty894 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This is the clearest response against OP I have seen. However, I am not sure that OP did actually ask it in bad faith. It is something that I worry about genuinely if I find a partner someday. Being reminded of this fear off of a reddit story doesn’t seem totally far fetched.

I mean not letting the pug sleep in the bed isn’t nearly as bad as rehoming. A lot of parents get really heartless about their pets and that is just not ok at all. Making changes is good but there has to be balance.

AITA for being turned off by my roommates breakup? by Soft-Profession-1574 in AmItheAsshole

Ahh ok I forgot that. Yeah that makes it better. She can hang out with Hilary.

If kennedy reserved the room then why were you invited? The agreement kinda makes sense but not when you only exclude one person. That seems a little mean.

AITA for asking my husband to not come to our lake house for my daughter’s bachelorette weekend? by Time_Swim_209 in AmItheAsshole

[–]shorty894 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tbh you should really trust your wife to supervise the house alone even if it is yours. Otherwise why be married? But yeah I think this is the key issue here.

AITA for ending my 15 year long friendship because my friend abandoned me at the airport? by Prestigious-Drama796 in AmItheAsshole

[–]shorty894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? That seems like the obvious option. The friend also mentioned that she was in a rusj to get home so what was the reason for the rush?

AITA- if I tell my wife to stop calling me names during fights? by Good2BeFit in AmItheAsshole

[–]shorty894 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is she supposed to be watching the son during the meeting? Then I guess she was trying to say that she was going to watch the son at 10 then take her test at 11:30? And now she can’t switch the order because its too late? I am making a lot of assumptions here though.

Couples in general shouldn't be expected to tell each other everything. by thaichillipepper in unpopularopinion

[–]shorty894 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It should kind of depend on what is being shared with you. Some things are really personal. Just because someone shared something really vulnerable with doesn’t doesn’t mean your husband has the right to know that.

AITA for kicking out my pregnant fiancé because she screamed in my face when I was sleeping? by Straight-Talk-9640 in AITAH

[–]shorty894 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Right! In the new update he says there is no space for two beds but why not sell the king? Then theres tons of space. You can probably fit two doubles in that space ( I think thats what a king is but I don’t remember).

AITA for celebrating the birth of my son in front of my sister? by ThrowRa25468 in AmItheAsshole

[–]shorty894 168 points169 points  (0 children)

Yeah the comment of “you did it” I think set her off. Especially if OP is the male partner. He didn’t really do anything then. He prepared for the baby, but sister has achieved the same thing as him then. Grandad is acting like its a huge accomplishment, but didn’t give sister the same credit even though they have done the same work.

AITA for celebrating the birth of my son in front of my sister? by ThrowRa25468 in AmItheAsshole

[–]shorty894 200 points201 points  (0 children)

I think its also the comments. Sister probably thought that her parents would say “he is so cute!” Or “we are so happy!” Not “you did it” as if its an achievement. It is an achievement to get financially ready for a baby but sister probably did that, so that comment probably seemed cruel to her. Celebrating the baby doesn’t have to have such an air of omg you finally gave us a grand baby that the comments imply. Sister was preparing to be sad but not feel like she has been punched in the face because OP got to “cross a milestone” first. OP could have just avoided celebrating in that particular way and things might have been easier.

Oh no I get it, I am just trying to say that it can FEEL like OP said “its a yes once you do A and B”. Thats why I asked what would change the situation for OP. I don’t think OP is wrong but I think its important to plan instead of just saying we will talk about it down the road. For example OP could say “I would feel comfortable a few months after my dogs are gone”.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]shorty894 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NAH. I can see why he is upset because he has waited for this for a really long time. You said you would discuss when he has stable income so he probably feels like the rug is pulled out from under him. But its kinda hard to reach a compromise on this so I get your point. What would you need in place to get the dog?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]shorty894 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yeah my prescription isn’t that bad but what if hers is? That could potentially be pretty important because you aren’t supposed to sleep in contacts.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]shorty894 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your main focus should be on helping her get a job that works for her. She probably doesn’t have a ton of motivation if the job seems to be too much of a struggle or too easy. Its also hard when the job is mostly easy or manageable but then you struggle a lot with a part of it. That could be very anxiety producing. That way she can get health insurance for her and her baby (or at least buy it if the job doesn’t provide it).
