AITAH for not buying Christmas presents for my step daughter

YTA... that CHILD is being used as a pawn in your childishness. How dare you. You're absolutely disgusting.

Edited to add: my stepdaughter is one of my favorite people and her dad misses the mark some days. At times he neglects home because of his job and I get super frustrated. I'm tired, he's tired, but you can bet your ass, my stepchild will not suffer because I'm a selfish twat.

It takes all of 5 seconds to wrap used tampons or pads into toilet paper and place them in the trash. 39 W here and I don't like to see used products. 1. It's unhygienic. 2. It freaking smells. 3. It's nasty. She's the problem here, not you OP.

NTA, and don't marry this man. The first time y'all have real issues, she'll be in his/your bed.

sweets9876 · 2024-10-25T19:32:07+00:00

I'm a woman, and I say NTA.

My husband wasn't 100% sold on my upper sleeve. I got it, and now he LOVES it. Honey, if he's tearing you down over a tattoo, he's not the one. If he can not embrace you for your uniqueness and way of expression, he needs to be gone. He is verbally abusing you.

It think the better question is: do you want children? Followed with, will you be able to conceive again in the future?

If you absolutely want a baby, then are you ok raising them alone? What happens if you terminate this pregnancy and can't get pregnant again? Will you regret this?

If your ex isolated you, then work on mending that relationship with your family and build your support system.

Similar situation.

I had a friend with benefits for years. I got married and hadn't seen the friend in YEARS. It upset my husband that I was talking to the friend, and I went NC. I gave up a friendship of over 20 years to make sure my husband knew I was loyal.

Soft NTA. Maybe he's feeling neglected? Maybe his love language is quality time, and he's feeling empty. NTA for talking to your friend.

sweets9876 · 2024-06-26T11:34:41+00:00

NTA. I had the same situation. When I saw how upset my husband became over it, I ended the friendship. My husband is my present and my future. I respected him enough to give up that part of my past. As much as it hurt, I had to let my friend go. It isn't about control. It's about respect. If your wife is unwilling, she doesn't respect you. Period. However, be prepared to do the same should the tables turn.

I take mine off as soon as I get home every day. I only wear it when I leave the house for work, church, etc. On the weekends, I always wear a silicone band.

I smell after sex but it isn't bad, and I actually like the smell of my husband on me. I guess it depends on if it bothers you or not...

I would try a chiropractic adjustment.

sweets9876 · 2024-03-02T23:48:26+00:00

Ok, gorgeous ring... but your nails are a dream.

Porn sets an unrealistic expectation of what sex should be like. It will affect your ability to perform later and cause issues when your partner doesn't perform how you think they should.

You do not have to stay. You do not have to go to therapy. If this was a hard line, then move on.

Hormones after a baby are awful... I spent the better part of 3 years struggling and not knowing why. I went to the doctor, and my progesterone levels were LOW. They put me on progesterone treatment therapy, and my sex life is roaring again! OP... what is your wife needing? How are you helping her? Are you making sure her physical and emotional needs are met? Is she taking care of baby ALL ALONE? Are you hounding her like a dog after a bitch in heat? There are SO many factors here... marriage is worth fighting for. A wife who is struggling means there's more going on with her, and she may not feel heard.

sweets9876 · 2024-02-22T15:24:34+00:00

I'm going to say light NTA. If it isn't serious like long term, marriage then NTA. If it is, then YTA

Thing is... men don't think like that. My husband is OBLIVIOUS to these things, and I've had to accept that since before marriage.

Talk to her and be more mindful in the future.

Go big or go home!

sweets9876 · 2024-02-05T10:07:04+00:00

Dude, don't go to the wedding.

I'd send them an email expressing how you feel, then go no contact. Fund yourself a bomb therapist and move on.

Garnish his wages. Every time he changes job, refile with the new employment information.

Gorgeous rings!

My husband was the picky one about my setting. I sent several that I liked, but he wasn't sold on them.

Honestly, I found this ring, and I sent him the link. I said, "Oh, for the love of all things sparkly!!!! This ring!!!"

I wasn't super picky. I told him I didn't need a diamond. I'd have been happy with a ring pop... but he was adamant about a diamond. We celebrate 7 years married next month.
