A prank is something that results in a briefly embarrassing situation or dumping water on another person and silly poo poo like that. This was full out malicious tampering of someone's future. In short:

He's also not actually attempting to genuinely atone or make things right, he's choosing to share a previously unknown super-horrible thing he did over a perceived sleight he can't even remember, playing it off as "not a big deal," and then absolving himself with an expectation that he'll be forgiven for giving the most half-assed apology possible. It's 100% about him and the proper response is to tell him to go get hosed until he can come up with $40,000.

This was my first thought too. Afaik, the making amends step is supposed to be about showing people that you know you were bad before, and want to change. This guy is using it to be all "hey, I did a bad thing, love me."

Pretty magnanimous of you to consider forgiving the interest.

That one reminds me of an E/N thread here, "mistake from my past coming back to haunt me". His "mistake" was planting drugs in another kids bag "as a joke", that kid getting arrested, expelled, and sent to jail. It was haunting him because that kid was a family friend of his fiancee and poo poo talked him to them, rightfully. He didn't feel any remorse until it affected him, he was so blase about it.

I mean if she's now got a decent job on the back of her own hard work paying for herself through education then perhaps this is a moral roadblock that she needs to get over

it's 20,000

who cares (assuming she actually did get an ok job) she can move on, leave the ball in his court to make amends

beat him or hire someone to beat him until $45,000.00 + interest falls out, dump a bottle of cheap whiskey down his throat, do not accept his apology. Tell him you're pranking him while he has to have an entire fifth of jack daniels pumped out of his stomach.

When given the choice between trivializing or serious introspection and self-criticism, a lot of people choose the former. If he had not personally done this he would consider it a big deal. The prank part he doesn't even believe himself.

The thing you have to realize here is that the OP is a decent human being. His brother did this hosed up and awful thing and he is justifiably upset but his concern is in how he can help keep the relationship and continue to support his piece of poo poo brother who is trying to recover from alcoholism.

The level of sheer decency just makes me even more angry for his sake. He genuinely cares for his brother and his brother doesn't loving deserve it.

He is viewing this as a prank because to see it as anything more than that would mean acknowledging his poo poo brother and reacting appropriately. (:sever:) Something he does not want to do because he is a good person. A+ cognitive dissonance.

Redditors are gonna tell him to cut him off and he's not going to listen. His devotion and consideration of this scum is a reflection of him. If he does what he should he's a "bad person" for abandoning his brother.

He only wants advice for how to deal with this and it's the only advice he'll consider.

Sigh, poor guy.

All days are nights to see till I see thee; and nights bright days when dreams do show me thee.
At least when dumb people know they're being dumb it's a bit better.

I [36/f] lost my temper with my husband [36/M] because he is my family's doctor. Not sure why I did it.

quote:

This is just a throwaway account. Anyway, I have been married to “Ron” for over a decade. We have a great marriage, four beautiful children and a great home. My husband is a physician, a specialist in Emergency Medicine who has worked at a regional trauma center for the last 8 years. My husband has been scaling back and has opened a clinic where he sees patients for routine physicals and very minor procedures (a family practice). This has meant that my husband is around more and gets to meet patients who aren’t necessarily flat on their back. He will work in the ER for another two years and will fully transition into a family practice during that time. After that, he’ll do enough shifts in the ER to keep-up his certifications as a physician and advanced life support/resuscitation. I like that he’ll be home more and have better more regular hours.

The problem is that our town is small, most of the doctors are old and retiring. While it is amazing for business, it has some other unintended consequences. A lot of people have signed-up for his practice, even though he has limited hours. Some of the people who’ve signed-up: My brother-in-law, my sister, my nieces and nephews, my best friend and both my parents. My sister and father both have IBS. My sister’s doctor retired and sent her to a walk-in. Instead, she visited my husband’s office during a bad episode and he readjusted her meds, made special referrals for testing and has closely followed her care. She recommended him to my dad, who then recommended him to our entire family. At Thanksgiving, someone joked that my husband had seen everyone, who was at table, naked. My best friend said that she had ‘her annual exam coming up’ and hoped Ron had some interesting stories to keep her mind off the scrape and poke. I don’t know why, but it really bothered me. I know he’s seen countless people naked, but something about my friends and family really bothers me.

I was at my sister’s yesterday and I was helping her clean. I was cleaning a bathroom when I saw a prescription for the pill in my niece’s name. My husband’s name was on the prescription. It shocked me. I hid how I felt from my sister, but when Ron got home this morning, I lost my temper with him. He had to go to the clinic today, and I haven’t heard from him since. I know what I did was selfish and rude, but I can’t help but feel weird about it and I don’t know why. I have to apologize to Ron but I need to figure out why this is bugging me so much. Your input would be much appreciated.
tl;dr: I lost my temper with my husband because he's the doctor to friends and family. I feel bad for losing my temper. I don't understand why it bothers me so much.

Though I don't know why "I'm sorry Ron, I'm adjusting to this new role and I lost my temper for no good goddamn reason. What can I do to make it up to you?" isn't the answer here....

My [22/F] boyfriend [24/M] of 3 years asked me to stop learning German

quote:

I've been learning German for almost 4 years now with a combination of self-study and taking courses at my university. I started because I really liked the country when I did an exchange in high school and I have a big interest in its culture and history. I've continued since I've found it very fulfilling, very low-stress since there's no extrinsic reasons why I'm learning it, and overall lots of fun.

I've been dating my boyfriend for 3 years and he's never been too interested in my hobby. He's always found it strange and odd that I would spend time learning something that isn't very practical (I don't have any plans to move to Germany after graduation given there are not many jobs in my industry).

I've recently started to look at doing a summer exchange program at a German university. When I told him this yesterday, he revealed he's never been fond of my hobby and asked me to stop learning German completely for several reasons. He'd rather me spend time learning Polish since his whole family is Polish, and I would be able to use it to speak to him and his family. As well, he feels very uncomfortable given the history between Germany and Poland, and he was raised in school with a dislike towards Germany. He said he would be happy if I were to do an exchange at a university in Poland.

I'm not sure what to do. I feel very frustrated given I've spent significant time learning German over the years, and it brings me so much joy. I've made lots of good friends and I feel I will have just wasted the last 4 years of my life if I had to give it up.

Do you have any advice on how to approach this situation?

I turned 16 last week and I decided to take my siblings out for dinner to celebrate before my party. My siblings are to young especially my brother to attend the party. So I took the out for dinner.
