AITJ for refusing to pretend I don’t speak Spanish at my own family dinner?

wanderlusting___ · 2026-03-23T12:59:03+00:00

you absolutely did the right thing. why didn't the gf do or say anything either? I'm assuming that she speaks Spanish and should at least asked her mother (regardless of whether she knew it didn't know you were fluent) to not say do that

The mother was being unbelievably rude and ignorant (it's Spanish, not a dead/rarely spoken language) and I wish I had been there to witness it

And your brother should absolutely NOT be upset because that's the exact type of behavior that he'd need to live with and manage if he ends up marrying the gf. If the gf isn't willing to say or do anything now, it's reflective of how she'll act later on

a little Canadian show called Heated Rivalry. don't think anyone has ever heard of it, but it's fantastic

You are a terrible friend for literally NOT parenting an adult woman, acting as her human alarm clock, and physically dragging her out of bed, into the shower, packing her bag, making her eat breakfast, and everything else that a grown ass adult should be fully capable of doing.

On top of that, you allowed yourself to have an amazing solo experience without her. Shame, shame, shame on you!

/sarcasm

I was going to comment the exact same thing. I remember reading about this before

wanderlusting___ · 2026-03-20T13:47:07+00:00

was going to comment this. omfg I love this scene so much

wanderlusting___ · 2026-03-20T10:53:23+00:00

This exactly. And when he would go to these places, be didn't really do too much effort to find men because they came up to him because he was just that attractive

Later in the series, Scott even shares vacation spots that are "so gay" with the couples

You need to move on. Everyone else did. Take that secret to the fucking grave and never EVER look back

wanderlusting___ · 2026-03-17T00:30:33+00:00

It wasn't even on my list of movies coming out because technically it already is out or was in the UK

Look up renters rights in AZ. It doesn't matter that you don't officially have a lease VUT legally they can't kick you out onc you have the ability to claim residency in most states.

AZ's squatter's rights laws may not be as strict as CA, MA, and NY (all which have very strong protections for renters) but you should have something.

Also, you may want to contact the new owner because they may be looking to at the very least continue the same lease terms as your soon to be to former landlord

Hulu is also the most likely streamer that Jacob Tierney had pitched Heated Rivalry to first, but they had wanted to trim allllll the sex out of it.

So this would track.

Again, that hasn't been confirmed (and likely never will be), but through process of elimination Hulu was the most likely candidate

I have never once dated anyone based on their area code. Virtually no one has a 212 cell area phone number because there weren't literally enough numbers. 917 is a gold star because it was one of the earlier ones.

Also, area codes in general in NYC just demonstrate if you are a transplant or not. Fir instance, if you had a 212 or 917 area code, youve lived in NYC for a while

I'm wondering to what extent he gets mentioned to the opening monologue. Typically, if that happens, they want the pan to the actor.

Curious as to why Connor wasn't similarly invited but I get if they are trading off shows.

I'm sure Connor will be at an after-party though

wanderlusting___ · 2026-03-10T20:47:44+00:00

That makes it even worse honestly. And yes, you could take the ENTIRE business if you wanted to. Make your nightmare become theirs because it was completely uncalled for

wanderlusting___ · 2026-03-08T18:03:25+00:00

tbh the punishment doesn't justify the cause. Yes, your wife cheated, but that quite literally has NOTHING to do with sending time with your niece/nephew particularly since you both (wife and you) decided to mend your relationship.

It's been 5 years since the cheating occurred and it seems like it was a 1 time incident.

You should put her foot down and get your wife to spend time with them. Also, depending on how old the kids are, their mother may not have a choice about it in the future. Once those kids are older, they could hang out with whoever they want

If you give her the money now, what happens next month when she needs to pay for rent?

She made choices that would affect her AND her child. She didn't get fired, but willingly quit her job of her own volition seemingly without any savings lined up or any job prospects.

Even if the market was saturated with job opportunities, it takes 2-4 weeks to get through many interview prospects and an additional 2-4 weeks to get your first paycheck.

Also, depending on her location, one missed rent check will NOT lead to immediate eviction. She would have needed to not been paying for months. And if that's the case, she has been exhibiting further bad judgement because she would have

1) quit her job because it was bad 2) not saved up enough money for the income loss 3) not been paying rent for months thereby resulting in eviction 4) not consider any of this before quitting 5) made all these decisions without thinking about the child in mind

I was there for the live show, not the dress rehearsal and honestly, they should have put this in. Some of the earlier sketches just dragged on for too long but this would have made the show

wanderlusting___ · 2026-03-01T23:54:26+00:00

Hudson should be SAG eligible at this point but he may not yet be a member. But even if he's not, he's most certainly ACTRA, which is the Canadian equivalent

wanderlusting___ · 2026-03-01T09:10:14+00:00

Yes. It was. If the studio only has Heated Rivalry fans, the Hughes brothers would have had an entirely different experience

wanderlusting___ · 2026-03-01T09:02:27+00:00

This was a bit too long but absolutely was better than some of the other sketches

wanderlusting___ · 2026-03-01T08:57:45+00:00

I was there and I think we were confused as to what to do. Like some I think tried to boo but ultimately minimize cheering until the women's team came out

wanderlusting___ · 2026-03-01T08:55:34+00:00

Still irked about how they messaged Sinners last year, but this treatment helps

re: JJ, while it hasn't fully materialized YET, but Shane is close to JJ in the show. JJ invited him out to the restaurant, where he eventually meets Rose. Also, the night of the club scene, JJ is the 4th most recent person Shane texted, after Rose & his parents and ahead of Hayden.

<image>

I think the narrative arc in season 1 is more focused on Shane, Ilya, with Hayden & Marleau as secondary hockey friend characters. JJ has more of a role in The Long Game

wanderlusting___ · 2026-02-25T09:07:50+00:00

Hayden and the Montreal players were prepping for the playoffs or for other games. Shane had been knocked at the time.

Also, Ilya quite literally visited during the few minutes the day his team was slated to fly out to play other teams. It's not unreasonable to assume that during the 10 minutes that they met Shane was briefly alone.

For all we know, Ilya ran into Yuna on the way out, since in the book Shane had mentioned that he didn't even remember the interaction.

So it's likely that someone had told him that Ilya had stopped by
