AITA for getting upset after my boyfriend misspelled my name on his tattoo?

quote:

My boyfriend [32] got my [28] name tattooed on his arm in Japanese. I’m 100% Japanese so I obviously see why he chose the language but I really wish he confirmed or did more research because it doesn’t even say my name. He got home 2 days ago from his trip and excitedly showed me the “surprise” he’s been talking about for a week but wouldn’t tell me what it was. Honestly, I have no idea how to feel about it on one hand it was a sweet gesture that didn’t go well, but on the other hand I’m kinda upset that it doesn’t say my name. Am I the rear end in a top hat here?

It is terrible advice. Like, he's had a 5 year relationship with this woman. Just because he's bisexual and used to sleep around & her dad's a piece of poo poo doesn't mean he needs to dump her. He should TELL HER, and have the awkward-rear end conversation, but it's not like the dad is ever going to admit it voluntarily.

AITA for breaking up after my gf showed me her old tinder account?

quote:

Met my gf from a mutual friend about 4 months ago. Everything was going great.

My gf asks why I was single for so long and I told her it was because I was wrapped up in school and work, trying to get my poo poo together. Although that was true, what I didn't tell her is that I had mostly given up on dating because of the insecurity with my height, so I just focused on my own goals/happiness.

Eventually the conversation veers toward her dating experiences. She shows me her tinder account (it was inactive for nearly the whole time we dated) and all the weirdo messages she got.

She showed me her profile and bio and it totally took the wind out of my sails.

"Be over 6' 🙄"

It didn't really sink in until she left but I was confused and hurt.

I've made peace with the fact that some women have a preference (some more like a requirement) for tall men. Of course I was butthurt when I first learned this trend but accepted it in this sense: 'I want a girl attracted to me, if these women aren't attracted to me then thats that'

I don't want to compensate for my height. I don't want to be someone's consolation prize.

No she has this preference and she should stick to her convictions.

I broke up with her and she says i'm the rear end in a top hat for not explaining why we broke up. I don't think she would understand (bring on the "wHoA oP iS sO iNsEcuRe" bullshit)

She likes tall guys, i'm short so i'm moving on

[OK] My puppy and I were attacked by two pitbulls. My puppy died, and I had to go to the emergency room. The owner of the dogs refuse to pay my medical bills.

On November 3rd of 2018, a little over two weeks after my wedding, I took Remus on a walk at around 5:15 am. Remus was a very energetic puppy, so I would have to take him on a walk first thing in the morning to tire him out. We live in a very safe neighborhood in a very safe town in Oklahoma, so I wasn't worried about our safety.

About 10 minutes into our walk, two pitbulls turned onto the street and immediately attacked and killed my 11-month-old puppy. I sustained cuts on my hands from trying to protect my puppy, and a bite on my thigh.

My wife took me to the emergency room, and I got staples put into my leg and a tetanus shot.

Later that morning, an officer came by our house and told us that the owner of the dogs neglected to lock the pitbulls up correctly, and this wasn't the first time that those pitbulls have attacked another dog. The dogs were returned to the owner, and our city ordered them to be euthanized after 10 days time. The dogs were euthanized on November 13th.

Fast forward to December. The owner had a hearing, and was ordered to pay my medical bills (~$500) for an exchange for me not to sue him. He told the city attorney that he wasn't going to pay, and he hasn't. My wife and I were going to take him to small claims court, but we fear that, even if we win, the guy will not pay. We are worried that if we pursue this, it will just be a waste of time, and open up the possibility for the owner to sue us back.

My wife and I can't afford to hire an attorney, but I just can't let it go. It has been several months, and I still think about what happened every single day. I know that accidents happen, but this wasn't the first time this has happened with the owner, I don't want to let him get away with such negligence.

Would it be worth it to continue to pursue legal action? If we took him to small claims court and won, would he have to pay my medical bill? What would the consequences be of refusing to pay?

After seeing kids getting vaccinated against their parents wishes, I’m wondering if I can do the same thing but for a blood transfusion.

Lately I’ve been seeing that some kids are getting vaccinated without parental consent, which has made me wonder how I could go about consenting to a blood transfusion for myself without my parents knowledge.

I’m 15, and have a medical condition that requires a couple surgeries every year or so. My parents are Jehovah’s Witness, and always say I can’t have a blood transfusion even if I would die without one. I think their religion is absolutely crazy and I don’t want to die because of not getting blood, but I can’t tell them this or I’ll be “disfellowshipped” and shunned.

Is there any way for me to consent to a transfusion for myself without them finding out about it? I’m honestly terrified that some day I’m going to die because of a stupid cult rule that I don’t even agree with.

I live in Oregon if that makes a difference.

Edit for some clarification- Like some commenters have mentioned, I’m on their insurance which is probably the biggest issue in them not finding out about it if I were to need blood. There’s also a “no blood transfusion” card that they force me to keep in my wallet at all times. And they check that it’s there regularly.

I first thought this meant she couldn't see other people like, in a dating way. But I think it actually means she's got to be locked away and isn't allowed to even talk to her family and friends?

Haha, goddamn, that’s amazing. I think there are like a million different ways to write a lot of Japanese names that all have the same name (so, for instance, “Taro”, the Japanese equivalent to “John”, might have 3 different Kanji it could be written as.) so that even if he did research on her name he wouldn’t have any guarantee of getting it right.

AITA for not being attracted to my girlfriend’s body?

I made an ALT account to ask this, since a bunch of my family follow my primary one. I’m also.. not completely sure of the rules here, so I’ll try to keep it as PG as I can.

So, me and my girlfriend have been dating for almost 3 years. We have fun together, and we really care about each other. (just to keep it simple.) I will say that she’s the first thin person I’ve ever been with. She’s flat, petite and pretty short. Most of the girls I’ve been with have been on the bigger side (in the good places..) and I’ve always been a fan of ... well, a bigger ~chest~ size. This all started when me and my girlfriend were watching Netflix a few nights ago and she randomly asked me if I was okay with her having a flat chest. (She’s always been insecure about not having b*bs.) I asked why she was curious about this, and she told me she noticed that I never really had anything to say about her chest, (and that day she had been trying on lingerie and none of the ones she tried on fit her in the *chest region. That kind of put her back mental funk where she thinks she’s not attractive if she doesn’t have a certain figure.) She said she was just curious. I told her I had to be honest, and said that I’m not attracted to her chest size, and that I actually prefer bigger b-bs. It’s not a turn off, having a smaller size but not a turn on. If I’m being honest, that’s why I usually prefer she faces away from me during intercourse. She was quiet for a while, and then she said she was going to go home since she had work in the morning. She texted me later on that night and told me what I said hurt her a little. She said we’ve been dating for a while and never brought this up, and that she feels like I lied to her. I told her I didn’t know what to tell her, and that I was just being honest (I was.).

Am I being the rear end in a top hat here?

What in the heck is with these impossibly oblivious idiot men who think it's okay to put down their partner's physical attributes? Sure, maybe their girlfriend isn't the perfect fantasy woman for them, but Jesus loving Christ, why would you ever tell them that in billions of years? What is wrong with people?????!!!! :argh:
