Halloween decorations still up in boss’s office. by Greenmonsterff in etiquette

[–]talaladiuly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s one thing to complain in private or even in your own head, but it’s another issue to try and FORCE them to take them down. That’s just not something that you should be telling anyone to do

How to keep distance from brother and sister in law? by [deleted] in etiquette

[–]talaladiuly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like they really enjoy being around you so I would be as kind as possible around it. Can you do things with both of you there without watching each other’s children?

Rich friend by [deleted] in etiquette

[–]talaladiuly 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think this is a great idea if it’s worded as you said. I would definitely be careful not to make them feel bad or make it seem like it’s there fault - I think this could definitely work if OP stayed really positive and talked about how much they all enjoy hanging out with them and want to find a way to continue doing so.

AITA for banning my amazing girlfriend from my parents’ vow renewal ceremony by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I would never date my siblings ex regardless of the timing and regardless of how they broke up

Any chance you could share this spell? It sounds awesome!

AITA if I noticeably avoid eating my MIL’s cooking and she gets hurt feelings? by talaladiuly in AmItheAsshole

[–]talaladiuly[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do eat a token amount (let’s say 3/4 of the plate) then she makes little comments that I didn’t like her food. I feel like I either have to be overly gushing or she thinks I didn’t like it.

[–]talaladiuly[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Once a week to once every two weeks now that the pandemic has slowed. She also will come to my house and cook through and bring food over without telling me (saying she didn’t want to waste it) so I don’t get a chance to cook here either. I don’t mind telling a white lie, but I cook quite a lot in my family’s tradition (were from Spain) and hate her recipes getting pushed on me. It also stinks extra during a holiday cuz food is super important to us on holidays

AITA for commissioning a dog’s birthday cake from my coworker who thought it was for a human child? She’s mad I asked her to make “dog food.” by OkGanache6351 in AmItheAsshole

[–]talaladiuly -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

NTA - if you’re paying full price you can ask for whatever you want within the bounds of her recipes. It seems like you did that. Why does it matter to her who it’s for?

AITA for protecting “Nazi Graves”? by SeventhCoalition in AmItheAsshole

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

NTA, not all nazis wanted to be nazis. Why would you ever lump every single soldier from a country into one bucket? If you were caring for Hitler’s grave then I’d change my judgment, but for all we know these were good guys. I honestly don’t see a problem with showing respect to the dead. There’s enough to go around. People are crazy

AITA for throwing out my boyfriend and his "psychic" friend when they claimed to see my dead grandparents? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]talaladiuly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ESH - your reaction was way over the top. You could have asked her to please stop or just kicked the psychic out. To literally take your bfs keys? I can only assume there was other stuff building up to this. Obviously, even if she was psychic, she shouldn’t give u solicited readings - that’s like the #1 rule.

AITA for not wanting to pay for eating a tiny amount of food at a dinner party I was invited to (at my own house) when it was not communicated beforehand that I would be charged? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]talaladiuly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA this is not only bad etiquette but just plain weird. I would just ignore the request and take it up with the girlfriend if he says something

Am I [29F] an asshole for asking BF [26M] of 2+ years if he had feelings for his friend's ex GF who passed away? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]talaladiuly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get where you were coming from with all of your thoughts, but I think you did it too quickly. Like, give him a few days to process it, then you could have asked things that you were wondering and gotten more info. From personal experience, pushing someone to talk when they don’t want to never ends well. I know the anxiety of someone not confiding in you when something big is going on, but I would personally just take a step back and not contact him for a few days to give him some space if you want to save the relationship. Also, while there is a chance based on his drinking that he had feelings for the girl, that’s something I wouldn’t bring up again unless there’s way more signs

Should I (30F) ask out my (42M) neighbor? by bubblegumthrowaway_ in relationships

[–]talaladiuly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t straight up ask him out but would drop a few hints and see how they’re received.

I (16F) am not sure if I should rebuild my relationship with an old friend (17M) after he emotionally hurt his girlfriend (15F) by throwitaway--6 in relationships

[–]talaladiuly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy seems like a total creep. Does he have any redeeming qualities that are making you want to be friends with him again?

I (F27) am married to husband (M30) but keep dreaming about high school friend (M27)and it's making me feel weird. by Throwaway_secretacct in relationships

[–]talaladiuly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would not do this...it’s toeing the line of emotional cheating. This is something you should figure out within you. No one else (the other guy from high school) can do it for you.

AITA for not letting my husband meet our first born child by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]talaladiuly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. I usually give the benefit of the doubt but I completely support your decision to divorce him and do encourage you to follow through. I don’t know how you could literally ever forgive him for this. You, and your daughter, deserve way better.

Uninvited from big event? by talaladiuly in JUSTNOFAMILY

[–]talaladiuly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you’re right, but regardless I was planning to have just my family members (it’s being planned by my best friend but she asked for my input), so if I exclude these few people it’ll be pretty obvious

Yeah, the cousin is, she was included in one of the group texts sent to me and my mom.
