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




I'm sure there's a Gunhilde out there so the tattoo won't go to waste.

I used to work with a woman a long time ago who wanted to get some phrase in greek tattooed on her upper back. This was the Altavista and Ask Jeeves days so translation resources were not as good as they are now. She put whatever she wanted tattooed into some online translation tool and took the results to the tattoo shop and got it done. A couple weeks after she was at work and the friend of a coworker was there and they happened to be able to read greek. She apparently got an error message in greek tattooed on her back.

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.

Jehovah's Witness?

No, blood transfusion!

Also out of curiosity could a Jehovah's Witness store their own blood and receive it in transfusion if they anticipated an upcoming surgery?

Insecurity over titty size is the same exact thing as insecurity over dick size and if you tell your partner about it you are equally bad, but you're also pretty bad if you start hounding your partner about whether or not you're big enough

Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to

It's hard not to be insecure in his girlfriend's shoes when she's hounded left and right by TV shows, movies, ads, books, social media, gross rude idiots, and basically all of society telling her she's inferior and not enough of a woman because she doesn't have huge bazongas. Like yeah, insecurity is slightly annoying and not particularly attractive, but I can't blame her for feeling that way... and it's also kind of her partner's job to regularly reassure her that she's beautiful and sexy etc to him. They've been going out for 3 years, so she should care about her self-esteem and mental well-being a little bit!

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.

Well, he knows her better than we do and can make a better guess at how she'll react to "Take a deep breath honey, I had a slut phase before I met you and one of the guys I banged was your dad", but yeah, either that or, "jeez, what the gently caress is your dad's problem", stare dad's adulterous rear end down and take that poo poo to his grave.

yeah. I would hope there's no one that would react *well*, and taking it to your grave is totally a valid option. But it's a big gamble!

Worst response he could get to "Take a deep breath honey, I had a slut phase before I met you and one of the guys I banged was your dad" is she says "You banged my dad? That's ok, so did I!"

Being short does horrible things to men's brains.

Hahaha, one time a guy's profile listed him as 'muscular'. I meet up with him, and dude had about as much muscle tone as Poppin' Fresh. When I mentioned it, he got mad too and said 'I wasn't being serious'.

He then spent the entire time telling me how he once banged a woman on a subway platform and only ever got one STD in his life, I guess to try and prove to me he could still get laid despite being out of shape?

My felon twin sister used my passport to travel without my knowledge

quote:

I've wanted to post my story on here to see if anyone can help or give me any advice on what could possibly happen.

So I have an identical twin sister who is a felon. Both 26[f] It's crazy to know how different we are in ways. She got caught up with the wrong friends in highschool and got into some bad things like doing drugs, not going home, always high. After highschool, she caught a case (agg Rob) and did some time. After she got out, she got into this pattern of just feeling low and ended up going back to prison. It seemed like every time we were happy to see her out, we had to prepare for the worst because we never knew what to expect since she was always looking for drugs and being addicted for years. I even have called the cops on her because she was suicidal after coming from a binge, it was really scary at the time. During her time in prison though, I went abroad to the Philippines and finished college. After I finished college, I went back home to Texas.

After being back in Texas for a few months, I just watched my sister deteriorate her life. She was on parole at this time, still on drugs. She was really high one night with friends in the car and caught a case (evading arrest). She then had to go to court and do time for this also. My dad had bailed her out and during this time, few weeks later she had the guts to use my passport and travel to the Philippines (we have family there as well) without my knowledge. She left the day when she had her court date, which was last year. I was so scared of what could happen because I have a career and a professional license under my name. I then called a lawyer and got some advice from him but all he said was to tell her to come back to America and me get a new passport.

I reported my passport stolen/lost and applied to get a new one. Two weeks later, I had my new passport. I spoke to my sister and she was so lost as she was withdrawing from all the drugs. She regretted stealing and using my passport for her gain and wanted to go back to America and do her time. Since it was her third case, she would be considered a habitual and get more time...so I eventually tell her to make whatever decision will make her feel better because it is her life.

I recently traveled to the Philippines in December due to my continued studies. In the airport, I was stopped by two cops at my boarding gate and they questioned me about the situation and had to verify that I wasn't her. They confirmed by tattoos. They knew that she left America, I was assuming. They knew I had renewed my passport also. They let me go and I got on the plane.

Now I'm in the Philippines and my sister told me there is no way she is going back to America. She has been off drugs since July of 2018 (when she stole my passport and traveled). I was angry when it started but deep down, I am now truly grateful she had the guts to do this all this to make her life better. She totally did a 360. She is drug free and she's her own person again.

She's an adult, she will do what she wants. I just still worry about what can happen to her if she goes back to America. Will anything happen to me? The cops told me she's not an Interpol case which means it's not an international case.

What if she traveled to different countries (except America) with a Philippines passport?

Thanks for reading my posts and let me know what you think.

AITA she took back her “yes”

quote:

My girlfriend (I guess ex girlfriend now) and I went on a cruise together and I decided to propose. I set it up at the end of a show with a photographer and everything and popped the question and she said yes! I was so elated, on cloud nine, it was like a dream. We got champagne and took pictures and then went back to the room and she dropped the ball on me— she didn’t want to actually marry me.

I was so horribly broken in that moment. I cried and asked why she would lead me on like this, and she got upset and said it was my fault for planning a public proposal without discussing engagement with her first. She said we were moving too quickly and she wasn’t ready. I told her she should have told me so instead of getting my hopes up and shattering them later. She refused to listen or agree. I ended our relationship right then because I can’t overlook such insensitivity like this. AITA or is she?

You are the rear end in a top hat. Don't propose without talking about it thoroughly first and sure as poo poo don't do a public proposal unless that is specifically what your partner wants.

She should have shot you down in public to embarrass the gently caress out of you though.

I was thinking that if he had bought one, he would have mentioned it to help his story elicit the sympathy he's looking for, but okay, maybe he just thought that buying and immediately returning an engagement ring from a cruise ship jewelry store went without saying.
