My [22F] boyfriend [24M] cut the tip of his finger OFF as a “joke” for my Valentine’s Day gift. Hi. Ltl, ftp. I don’t know what to do. I am terrified to tell my friends or family about this. I’ve been dating Grey for 4-ish months. He’s hilarious, smart, and treats me very well. I’m finishing up my last semester before I graduate, so I’ve been away at school (3 hours away from home, where we met) and I haven’t had a weekend to spare to come home, I have two majors and a minor and work part time at my school. I was finally able to move some things around and come home this weekend to celebrate with him. An important tidbit: I love Friends. It’s my favorite show. I know it’s kinda silly, but I just do. I have posters, I named my hamsters Chick and Duck (a thing from the show) and Phoebe inspired me to dye my hair and go vegetarian. Grey knows this, of course, and teased that one of my valentines gifts was friends themed. Not romantic, but whatever, cool! I get to his house holding a teddy bear, a bag full of chocolates, an expensive tie he had pointed out when we were shopping, and a card. So. Grey holds his hand out, and says, “HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!” It took me a second. But then I noticed. The tip of his index finger was gone. I obviously asked what happened and he rolled his eyes and said “guess someone’s not that big of a fan” or something. It really didn’t click. I just asked him again how he got hurt. I was so worried and trying to grab his hand and he kept shooing me away saying it was still sensitive. He grabbed the gifts from me, kissed my cheek, and told me to come to his room. I did, and he pulled up his laptop and went to his bookmarks. There was a zoomed in picture of Chandler(one of the main characters) and his hand. And he was missing a finger tip. It clicked. The actor who plays Chandler cut off his fingertip insome sort of accident before he got famous. There were several moments of quiet before he put his hand in my face again and smirked. I asked Grey what the gently caress he did that for. He said he knew I loved the show and thought it would be a funny story about how for Valentine’s Day, he literally cut off part of a limb for me (???) The wound was still... kinda fresh? It looked stitched up, I think, I really didn’t get a great look at it. But he is definitely missing a literal FINGER. TIP. I went quiet. He asked why I wasn’t happy, and seemed very confused, so I told him I forgot I had to call my mom, and pretended like I was going to the bathroom. Instead I booked it. It’s been a day, he’s called me about a dozen times, left me texts saying it didn’t even hurt and he’s okay, and asking us to talk about this. Guys, there were 0 red flags. He was SO normal. He was a fricking chess player. He liked going out for bar trivia. He’s studying to be a paralegal. I don’t know what to do. I feel like any romantic inclinations I had toward him are extinct. I feel really, really afraid to be honest. He told me he loved me a few weeks ago and I was working up the confidence to say it back and now I feel sick. Can I break up with someone for this?? I literally can’t even imagine telling anyone. I feel so embarrassed. TLDR: my boyfriend cut off his fingertip as a gift to me.

AITA for making an obese man pay me cash to take up part of my seat on a long flight? So this month I was flying across the country on a long 5 hour flight, which I had booked and seats selected for. I specifically chose an aisle seat in a row of two, so no middle seat — just the aisle and window. Well, a very obese man boards and I can tell instantly he is going to have a tough time fitting in any of the seats. I assume maybe he bought two hence why he’s even attempting to board. I’m mentally crossing my fingers he’s not next to me, but sure enough he ends up pointing to the window seat next to me to let him in. I get up and let him in politely, wanting to at least give him a chance. Well, he sits down and is easily seeping into about 1/3 of my seat. I sit down and am pressed up against him, making me uncomfortable. After a minute, I decided to be upfront and tell him: “Sir, I’m sorry but this situation is not working for me, you’re taking up quite a bit of my seat”. He wasn’t rude, but sort of gave me a shrug as if there’s not nothing he can do — although he did sort of tighten his arms in to try and be narrower. It just wasn’t enough, though. He still was overhanging over the armrest about 1/4th into my seat even when squeezing his arms in. I’m talking about fully hanging over the armrest into my seat. I end up stopping a flight attendant and ask her what can be done about the situation. She instantly tells him that he is likely going to need to purchase another seat. She goes to the front and comes back saying that there aren’t any open seats on this flight, so there wasn’t a way to move people so he could have two. This causes a very awkward silence. The guy seemed embarrassed and didn’t want to get up. He mentioned how he can’t wait for a later flight. I felt bad for him but I was also thinking about my own comfort on the long flight — the comfort I paid for. The flight attendant tells him that unless someone on the flight agrees to let him take up part of their seat, he’ll need to book another flight. The guy seems really flustered by this ultimatum, and here’s where I made my offer. I told the guy, “Look, I’ll put up with this if you give me $150 — that’s half the cost of this flight and that would compensate me enough for the circumstances.” He instantly agrees, pulls out cash and pays me. He even told me he appreciated it. Well the people sitting behind me (who keep in mind didn’t volunteer to sit by him) were making under their breath comments about me being an rear end in a top hat for doing that. I just ignored them and put the cash in my wallet. From my perspective, I gave the guy a valid option to stay on the flight and I was compensated for literally having only 75% of my seat max (let alone the feeling of a person’s body pressed against you involuntarily). A win-win. He wasn’t angry at all, if anything he seemed quite relieved we could work it out privately. After the flight, the couple behind me glared at me but I ignored them. This leads me to beg the question, AITA?

That's reason enough to sever cause financially this man is a disaster. There's the poo poo-tons of money thrown in the trash, making her go through the general shittiness of hormone injections multiple times, making her deal with years of disappointment, all to keep some big secret vasectomy that he could have gotten reversed at any time. It's a whole pile of hosed up. I think you're absolutely right, it would not surprise me at all to learn that he's a BWM type Or hell, he should have come clean as soon as they talked about kids at all, which should happen much earlier in the relationship than marriage

AITA for Answering the Door for the Pizza Guy in my Boxersquote:I've answered the door in my underwear a few times before, when I don't have a pair of pants ready, because I would feel rude to keep them waiting. I've never really noticed much of a reaction before, but tonight the pizza guy was clearly very uncomfortable, even physically taking a couple steps back when I opened the door. I tried to just sign the receipt and take the pizza quickly so he could leave, but I started feeling guilty. When I told my wife, she basically said it was lovely of me answer the door like that. When you answer the door you should have the common decency to either wear clothes or be fully nude, don't half-rear end it like this

AITA For correcting my date who thought that Ben Franklin was a president? I usually think i have a pretty good grasp of social situations but maybe i hosed up. Was on my first date with a woman related to my friend. Its going good, we're eating dinner, chatting when she starts playing the question game. "Whats your favorite movie?" , "Whats your favorite song?" ect. I ask her "Whose your favorite president?" "Hmm. It would have to be JFK, Ben Franklin, and Obama in that order." "Oh, but Ben Franklin wasnt president." "What?" "He wasn't president. He was a founding father though and its a mistake a lot of people make." "Maybe its a mistake that you made? Because I guarantee you he was." "No, he really wasn't im serious." I think its still light so I laugh. "Ok, one sec." She smirks and reaches into her purse/wallet thing and pulls out a 100 dollar bill. "Who does that look like to you?" "Ben Franklin?" "Ha, there you go!" I now realize she thinks you need to be a president to be on dollar bill. "You know Hamilton wasnt president and is on a bill?" "Google it! Google it!" She shouts in like a fed up laughing tone. So I do and recite the Wikipedia article on how Ben Franklin was never president. "Hmm. Ok?" Complete awkwardness for the rest of the night. My friend later said that she thought I was a know it all and was condescending. AITA?

Nah, not the rear end in a top hat. She's dumber than a sack of rocks. Maybe he should have just let her believe that and later on, after they're married and have kids, he can inevitably post about the meltdown argument he had by going "I told my wife that Ben Franklin wasn't president and the fact she thought he was made me laugh in secret for years."

I grew up very sheltered and had a bad experience my sophomore year of college that has kept me quiet and keeps me away from men. He’s the first guy I ventured out of my comfort zone with. He pursued me for three months until I finally said yes, he bought me gifts and wrote me poems and took me out a lot. quote:We met at my gym over the summer. He came over and started flirting. I politely got out of the conversation. I don’t want to go into detail but two years ago I had a bad experience with a man who hurt me. I had my first kiss at 19. I’m very shy and kind of scared of men. Our gym times starting lining up. One day I forgot my headphones and he just gave me his. The next time I saw him he had a pair of new ones for me. He overheard me telling a gym worker I’m friends with that I was craving Reese’s and he brought me sugar free ones. He told me I was pretty and helped me with my form. But I told him often that I didn’t want to date. I’m very busy (it’s an issue with us sometimes) and I’m studying to be in the medical field. He asked a lot, he brought me gifts, he was so sweet. I said yes to a date and then somehow I was his girlfriend a week later. I must have about three hundred dollars worth of little trinkets and gifts from him. quote:He is socially awkward but he also isn’t? Like when we’re out in public with my friends or there’s a big group of people he’s cracking jokes and talking and buying rounds of drinks. But when we’re in a small group, he’s weird. He gets awkward when we’re out to dinner, or shopping, like he had a weird whisper-argument with the cashier because he thought something was on sale. He also stares. A lot. At everyone.  At least OP's going to break up with him, and not in person.
