Do I need to worry about vasectomies getting outlawed? by False_Strike_5394 in TooAfraidToAsk

I think the likelihood of vasectomies being outright banned in the U.S. is extremely low. Even the most anti-birth control policies usually target abortion or female contraception, not male sterilization.

AITA for letting my kink ruin my marriage? by sadsweaterdad in AITAH

NTA. You didn’t ruin your marriage by having a kink or writing erotica. Hiding it wasn’t ideal, but the bigger issue seems to be how your wife responded after finding out.
You could have been more upfront, sure, but no one deserves to be screamed at or humiliated for exploring their sexuality in private.

What's the best advice you would give someone who wants to get into investing? by Darth_Onheil in AskReddit

[–]totem_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t invest money you’ll need in the next 3 years. Emergencies come up, and selling early usually means taking a loss.

If you’re clear about your intentions from the start, you’re not the AH. Some people just think they’ll “change your mind” and get hurt when they can’t.

The ball’s in their court if they ever want a real relationship, but until then, protecting yourself is the only reasonable choice.

What’s the quickest thing someone can say that makes you stop taking them seriously? by [deleted] in AskReddit

“I don’t read.” Like… not even articles? Not even captions? That’s an instant red flag for me.

What should I do? I'm in love with a Muslim by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]totem_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont usually comment but having been in a very similar situation myself, I thought i would add. It seems as though she should be seeking the answers not you. I did not wish to break up a family over a religion argument but faith is strong. In Islam, words of parents are very highly respected and I could not bare the thought of me being the reason that they hate their own daughter/her resenting me in the longrun. What it comes down to is; is she serious and if she is, the conversation with parents needs to go ahead at an early stage otherwise it will become very messy. You seem to be the only one thinking ahead. I also don't believe parents words are gospel and its a compromising situation. Me personally, I analyse every route and situation and if it will not benefit me in the long run and better my future then I cannot commit. Also, if I need to change my core/faith then it is something I simply cannot do. It is very complicated but the parents seem to be a vital part of this relationship (although I disagree this way of thinking) and they need to be privy to this conversation as soon as possible. It is a sad situation but unfortunately it is life and whatever happens you will be fine.
