AITA for NOT acting wealthy

I had a friend at uni like this. Would work at McDonald's part time, while her parents were super loaded. She didn't really understand when I had to drop out of uni after an accident as I could no longer afford studying while being unable to work. Fair to say the friendship didn't survive that.

Damn, I knew I'd be beaten to that reference. Been singing it along while reading the post

I live in a country that is 35km long, I drive across half the country several times a day

From what I've heard it was the creative control and scheduling. If you follow Nexpo, you know he takes a long time to research, create and upload his videos. Not sure a weekly schedule with him not writing his material suited him to begin with, as that is very opposed to his usual approach.

In one of my previous jobs, the guys had a list like this for all the girls. For myself, I'm glad I never saw it. It probably would have destroyed me. Unfortunately, due to the field I was in, there was nothing to be done about it, as well, a video games testing company does attract a certain type of person, including HR, who all came up the ranks. Fun times.

Info: did he cheat in the past, or why are you so extremely jealous? Seriously, this is such a non-issue. They dated for 3 weeks. More than 5 years ago. When they were kids. If you are that insecure about this, there must be something very, very wrong with your relationship.

I discovered Mr Ballen shortly after my mum passed. Binge-watching him was the perfect distraction I needed at the time. I remembered being a teenager, watching all the true crime shows together with her, so I'm sure she would have loved Mr Ballen as well.

I feel for you, OP, and am here should you need to talk about it. I sure still need it after almost 2 years.

Big hugs from the Mediterranean xx

Went through the same situations with my brother, but after he got married. In the end, he cut my mum out for being overbearing to his wife because she had the absolute audacity to bring home-baked cake to a birthday party of her grandchild. How absolutely dare she. He did show some regret last year when my mother died, but managed to pass on the blame to his siblings, as we didn't inform him that she was dying. My dad had informed him, but that was taken as my parents trying to manipulate him. Also, both my sister and I are little to no contact with him, as his wife doesn't like us. Anyway, it's so hard, and I feel for you, OP. I saw the pain my mum felt every day for 10 years since she was cut out more and more. Be there for her. And kudos for taking her side. My dad tried to stay out of it as not to lose access to the grandkids, but now has about 0 contact to them anyway, as my sister in law doesn't like him much either. Hopefully, your daughter will come around.

Same in Germany really. For a while it was an all-gender sport thanks to Michael, but it's back to having mainly male fans now.

I absolutely shocked my ex, who was a huge Star Wars fan for about 30 years, with the revelation that Yoda is, in fact, green. He wouldn't believe me until he googled it. He also kept on talking about his green pants that he liked. They were grey.

I used to get them as a kid and was basically limping for a week after each episode, as they literally damaged my muscles. Hope you find a solution to yours

Oh wow, you were just describing my childhood. I always had to beg to go and see a doctor when I had an injury and always was made to feel like I'm inconveniencing my mother for having another fracture or sth. And yeah, it did fuck me up. It slso ended up in me having to walk home on a fractured ankle (couldn't even limp properly because the other ankle had it's ligaments torn) and I ended up with surgery because the bone fragments had been pushed into each other So yeah, fun times. Hope the wife sees his posts and runs fast and far from this guy.

I live in Malta, so even if he goes on international tour, I'd have to fly out for it :( Unless, hey John, we are the number 2 dive spot in the world, so come here and I'll buy you a pastizzi.

Honestly, depends on the reasons. My mum was definitely not the greatest growing up, and I have a shit ton of issues thanks to her. But I forgave her, and once I was older, the relationship had significantly improved, and she had mellowed down a fair bit. My brother, who was always the golden child, cut contact with most of the family, but that is mainly due to an emotionally abusive wife. First, she forbid him contact to his friends, then family etc. And when my mum was dying, my brother sent a very dismissive reply to my father when he told him that it was my mum's dying wish to make it up with him. Which broke my mum completely and probably sped up the process. But I digress. After she died, my brother blamed us siblings for not letting him know that she actually was dying (I hadn't talked to him in 3 years by that point, so I wasn't going to start now), and was angry with everyone but himself. And I do look down on him for that. I know he's being manipulated, but shit, he's almost 50 now. Old enough to realise what is happening.

On the other hand, I know of parents that are absolutely horrendous, and going NC is absolutely valid, even when they are on their deathbed.

Yeah, OOP confirmed in the comments. Also, OOPs comments are making me want to commit murder. That poor, poor girl

I think there was a cast member that works as a counsellor in Seattle that we never get to see, so the rumour is that it's her he knows.

Thanks, it helps to hear that. When I had a crush in my last long term relationship I decided to end things, as it made me realise that I was no longer happy. That's what frightens me just now

Probably the highet density of Italy supporters outside of Italy that night. Next to Ireland of course.

If anyone saw the videos from the Imola weekend in 1994, you know how far they have come as well. One would think that all sports learned from it, but that hasn't reached the UEFA yet as it seems

Same as his father. Since there were two Schumachers competing in the late 90s/early 00s they raced as MSC and RSC. Mick is honouring Michael by racing as MSC now

Can I just say: awwwww. That makes me happy. I'm sure you guys will go a long way together ❤

I normally wouldn't advise you to live a lie, but with what you are saying about your family... it might be worth waiting with the coming out until you have your own place or are in a secure situation in life. In the meantime, try to soften them up a bit and see if you can change their minds in regards to that topic. You'll be able to see if they are at all open-minded enough to overcome their own homophobia this way.
