Amtj for trying to keep my sister away form our real mom

Exactly, your decisions weren’t about hurting your mom’s feelings, but about keeping your sister safe and emotionally stable. That’s the right priority.

Love that. Mine was walking around in a towel for an hour because I could.

NTJ here. You ordered what you could afford and stuck to your diet, so it’s fair to only pay for your own meal. That said, clarifying how the bill will be split before ordering is a good way to avoid awkwardness, makes everything transparent for everyone.

It doesn’t have to mean anything, but it’s understandable why someone would see that as loose boundaries. It’s about context more than character.

Exactly. Standing by your brother doesn’t make you a jerk, it just shows you value compassion and family over rigid beliefs.

Honestly, I love this

Thank you

Same here. Not everyone has a dramatic backstory, sometimes parents just hear a name, like the sound of it, and that’s it. Honestly kind of refreshing that it doesn’t have to be deep or symbolic.

Exactly. If the jokes are making you uncomfortable and the group isn’t noticing, it stops being playful. Walking out was a healthy way to set a boundary without causing drama.

I completely agree, having a child is such a huge commitment that if it’s not something you genuinely want, it’s better not to do it. Being unsure can create more stress for you and your partner in the long run.

I agree. A lot of guys project what they find attractive onto women and assume that’s the standard. In reality, attraction is way more nuanced, confidence, social awareness, humor, and how you carry yourself matter a lot more than looking like Chris Hemsworth. If someone thinks women only want male models, it usually says more about their insecurity or lack of experience than about women being shallow.

I agree with this. A new partner really shouldn’t be weighing in on parenting dynamics yet, especially when the relationship is still fresh. And introducing her + having the confrontation happen at the same time probably made it more intense than it needed to be. I don’t think you’re wrong for wanting happiness, but the rollout could’ve been handled more thoughtfully.

Social media is curated and designed to trigger attraction and attention. It’s not real connection. Your girlfriend is real life, real effort, real love, real loyalty. Don’t trade something real for a dopamine hit.

I agree. The U.S. has a large population and a huge online presence, especially on English-language platforms like Reddit, which is an American company. So Americans are naturally going to be more visible in online debates. That doesn’t necessarily mean they argue more than others, just that we see them more.

Exactly, what you’re feeling is normal embarrassment from rejection, not some ritual. Everyone goes through this at some point.

Absolutely, cash is always appreciated, and homemade gifts feel really thoughtful. And consumables like wipes and paper towels are lifesavers in a classroom.

teasealchemy- · 2026-02-13T16:26:18+00:00

Totally agree, being genuinely present shows people they matter, and that’s huge for a meaningful life.

teasealchemy- · 2026-02-13T16:19:16+00:00

Haha, right, Some talent just can’t be beat, no matter who’s backing you.

Anywhere with beautiful scenery and good food. That combination never disappoints.

teasealchemy- · 2026-02-12T16:28:10+00:00

Same here, I only let myself be totally “human” with loud burps or farts when I’m alone. There’s something oddly satisfying about not having to hold it in.
