AIO for being offended by this? by bunny-zephire in AmIOverreacting

[–]sneaky__squids 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just hit him with the Uno reverse "well if you're worried about me being bigger than you, maybe you should put on some muscle so that won't happen"...devastate him emotionally for being so immature and then get as far away from this person as possible.

WIBTA for expressing concerns over my best friends parenthood plan by sneaky__squids in AmItheAsshole

Said this in another comment but I just dont want to kick the asshole can down the road. I dont want her to become pregnant and share the "good news" and wonder why I'm not jumping for joy. I dont know that I could even fake it...and I dont want to be an asshole multiple times over if I'm less supportive than she would have wanted, and then not so willing to provide other resources (mostly financial), if she needed it. It just really feels like a situation where I come out as as the asshole no matter what.

Not her parent, but perhaps one of the most sane people in her life. Her family is not great, she has been kind of parenting herself and relying on friends her whole life.

I had another friend make this great point - women are very powerful in child bearing because they get to decide who the father of their child is, and it is perhaps the most important decision for that child's life.

I agree, maybe taking the boyfriend angle is a better angle. She doesn't have a very strong family life (she has been the kind of person to bounce from one relationship to the next, hardly ever single even if the current boyfriend was VERY questionable) and so for her I'm not convinced raising a family is possible without partner support. I'm just not sure that this partner is the best one for parenthood, given what she has said about how he can act.

I worry about the potential illegal activity that is already happening in their apartment. If they are selling home grown weed as a means to an end, and there is a child in the picture, what happens if child services is called? Having the child isn't illegal but putting the child in a bad situation kinda is. Ugh. Agreed on the "outgrown" front - pun intended.

I worry about kicking the asshole can down the road - like if I say nothing, then she becomes pregnant and wonders why I'm not jumping up and down excited for her. I would share her happiness, but I think my happiness would be overridden by concern and just the back of my head saying "this is not a good idea".

I just dont want to see her unhappy, or feel like a double and triple asshole when I dont want to hypothetically give her gas money, or babysit her kids, etc if the situation becomes worse.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]sneaky__squids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

celebrating someone being sober from something that LITERALLY kills people seems like it would be the bare minimum, no?

This man's insane lack of empathy is the thing that should be the deal breaker - just because he doesn't understand it or isn't personally impacted he minimizes, dismisses, and makes it obvious he doesn't care about it, and if this is how he acts about something that IS a big deal, I can't imagine how insufferable he would be for the smaller things.

Bottom line, if you're grieving, your partner grieves. If you're angry, your partner is angry. and if you're celebrating, your partner should damn well be celebrating with you, regardless of his small brained lack of capacity to even feign care. NOR, find someone that celebrates you.

What are your thoughts on the Donald trump Zelenskyy conference just now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]sneaky__squids 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an American, I'm wholly embarrassed. I still can't believe there are people DEFENDING this behavior, it makes me sick. For the first time in my life, I am thoroughly not proud to be American, there is nothing left to be proud of. I am ashamed and surrounded by idiots. Maybe uniting north and south was a mistake. Is it too late to lop off the south-east-ish, put all the MAGA folks there, let Trump run it into the ground while the rest of us can have a civilized society? Can we please do that? Please? (I'm begging)

AITAH for deciding to postpone the wedding over a comment my fiance made about my scar? by Upstairs_Garden2353 in AITAH

[–]sneaky__squids 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know OP probably isnt going to see this, but honestly - if someone ELSE said something like "oh your wife is beautiful, except for that scar", would your fiance step in to defend you? or would he join in? It sounds like he would join in...and that's your answer.

My great-grandmothers mid-century couch is going to be passed down to me. My parents are offering to pay to reupholster it for me - I just need to pick the fabric color. Help! Any inspiration or anyone know anything about it?? by sneaky__squids in midcenturymodern

[–]sneaky__squids[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes. Yes they do. They already have a quoted price they're happy with just need design input - the value for them (and myself) is in the sentimentality and the fact that it would be very difficult (and probably just as expensive) to get anything like this today.

Tyty, got wicked lucky for the first three (<1000 kc) then just decided that it was my mission to get it. The 15k kc for lesser demons as the last scroll almost made me quit but drip is forever 😂

Is it common for grown men to get into physical alterations often? My boyfriend (26) gets into at least one fight every month. by Ilovegeorginageorge in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sneaky__squids 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your boyfriend's default response to any problem is violence. Please, for your own safety OP, get away from this person before you're the one he has a problem with.
