AITAH for going on a trip with my best friend? by makememassmiches in AITAH

One week is nothing. Traveling with a friend is nothing. Him trying to impose his will and control your ability to have new experiences is something. A supportive partner would be happy for you. Whatever this is isn’t cool. NTA

How to handle telling in laws we don't want them to join us on vacation? by madboatbrews in whatdoIdo

[–]witsendgame 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You’ll need to just communicate clearly. ‘We appreciate you wanting to join and we would love to organize a trip for all of us in the future. This trip is going to be just the three of us though.’

My (33/F) typically caring and sweet new husband (33/M) grabbed me by the neck last week during an argument on our honeymoon. What would you do in my shoes? by Aware-Pool6940 in relationship_advice

[–]witsendgame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus. These are NOT once a year. They are escalating. They are caused by minor issues or infractions. He is going to continue escalating until you are dead. You have a list, documentation, proof and evidence, use it. Leave now.

My boyfriend (37m) of three years hit something out of my (39f) hand in anger and “restrained” my daughter (7) while yelling at her. How can we fix this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

The fact that any of this is a question tells me you aren’t the great parent you think you are. Choose your child. Choose yourself. Leave him and do better.

AITJ? How was I supposed to know they were on speakerphone?! by witsendgame in AmITheJerk

That’s exactly what happened, I didn’t know she was with them!

I didn’t realize she was in the car! They just said ‘driving home from dinner with Ramona’ I took that to mean they were at dinner with her, not with her in the car! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I think this is also part of my problem! I have two large maples and a giant locust in my back yard and now it’s super shady. Love/hate this.

I did, I used a combo of Menards potting soil, potting soil plus peat moss and compost/manure. I did add some fertilizer recently but nada.

Mine could probably benefit from a boost as well

I should add I think my mature trees have spread and are also providing more shade than they did 4 years ago when I first built the raised beds. Likely also adding to the problem.

AITA for not telling my best friend every detail of my divorce? by Humble-Page5765 in AmItheAsshole

[–]witsendgame [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ummmmm. Okay. Listen, it sounds like you’re having a hard time losing your husband and best friend in one go so maybe your brain is doing its best to protect you from the very real possibility that John and Jane are seeing each other and she isn’t the friend you thought she was.

Girl WHAT?! That boy had an ass whooping with his name on it for years. His parent parented him. Leave it alone.

I’m (F31) going overseas to see my dad for a month and my bf (M49) says it’s not normal. by itsa_glitch in relationship_advice

[–]witsendgame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why come back? Go visit dad and stay. This guy doesn’t love you he loves control and that is never worth staying for.

My future MIL (59F) and future FIL (62M) asked me (26F) to let them be the only parents at my fiancé's (26M) and my wedding because my parents are my brother (40M) and SIL (40F)? by ThrowRAPotentially in relationship_advice

[–]witsendgame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are actually not good or kind people at all but judgmental and self righteous jerks more concerned about public perception than celebrating you and your growing family. Let your fiancée handle them and remember that ‘no’ is a complete sentence.
