AITA for thinking my bf is sexist and wanting to break up w/him because of it?

I(18F) come from a traditional family. My dad works and my mom stays home. However, they do not push this lifestyle on me and my sisters. They have stated that it’s simply what works best for them and they have always stressed the importance of hard work and self-reliance. College is a must for us, we are expected to find a job, work hard, and pay for our own poo poo. They encourage us to pursue whatever we are interested in/good at, whether that be a traditionally feminine or masculine activity. I am so glad my parents raised me to be independent and self-sufficient, even if that means I have to work hard, because I feel very prepared to take on the future.

My bf also comes from a traditional family but his views are a lot different than mine. For example, when he found out that I mow lawns on the side during the summer to make some extra cash, he acted shocked and said if he were my dad, he would be ashamed of his daughter outside in the heat mowing his lawn, and if I needed extra money I should just ask him. I was offended by this because he insulted my dad and I actually like mowing lawns. I really do, I get to blast my music, be outside and get a decent work out in. And I don’t need to pay for my gas and clothes with bfs money like some spoiled bitch. I told him all this and he just doesn’t get it.

He also INSISTS on paying for EVERYTHING. Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate when guys pay on dates, it’s a nice gesture and I am happy to let them do that. However, I feel like you have to draw the line at some point. I am not allowed to buy anything for him or else he throws a fit, even something little like a snack after basketball practice. Instead of making me feel appreciated it makes me feel incapable.

Last weekend we went rock climbing together and I showed him up big time. He was super pissed about it and kept making all of these excuses for why I was doing better than him when I hadn’t even said anything about how he, well, frankly, sucked. Later that night we were texting about our dream careers after college and he said that he would always be making more money than me, and he couldn’t date a girl with a higher salary.

I called him out on his ignorance and he quickly apologized for the comment, but that whole day was just sort of the final straw with this guy. I have a feeling he just apologized to avoid an argument and he still really feels that way, and I am tired of constantly being treated like a princess. On the other hand, in his eyes he is being a man and respectful by treating me this way. I know I can be independent to a fault and idk, maybe I’m being overly sensitive to the whole thing.

So, AITA for getting “triggered” and thinking he’s sexist and we should break up, or am I right to think this dude is too 50s for me?

But... why is it that colour?
I can understand colouring food. I develop product formulations that are coloured (though I try to use oleoresins etc so 'colour' doesn't have to appear on the ingredients list). But if you're going to dye cheese, why not dye it yellow?

making the "best" burger obviously isn't the reason because you're putting gelatin-based cheese product on top of it

AITA for asking my wedding guest to leave for wearing his military uniform at my wedding?

This is from a couple of pages back, but it bugged the hell out of me.
Full dress uniform is the same as formal wear, so the marine was in good taste and the bride the rear end in a top hat.

Well, I wish I could I make you a few some day, so I could truly incorporate your critique. I've see seen smashed burgers exceed many people's expectations, incluing mine...but sure, considering where we're having this conversation, you have reasons to be suspicious, and I have reasons to wonder if I am being yet another manchild foolcook.

Jesus, I can just imagine the horrifying texture of a hard cheese melted down, mixed with gelatin, then re-melted again.

I feel like this has to have been in one of those terrifying mid-century promotional cookbooks, probably with a name like "Party Cheese Loaf"

AITA for telling my mother that my future son will never be allowed at her house?

She responds saying she has thought of all that and will be taking the train, segregating the dogs, and installing a massive air purifier in the room. I still tell her no with the logic of "I don't want my child being 2.5 hours away from me, I'm not comfortable with taking a baby on a train, we are trying to avoid formula, and even with the dogs being in another room and an air purifier where he would sleep I am not comfortable with the arrangement. I told her we can visit once in a while, but not until he's a little bit older and it's unlikely we will be sleeping over(her home smells, is small and very uncomfortable).

You most certainly did not include "midcentury" in your search when you're pulling up those results, simply baking cheese directly into a nice loaf of bread was way beyond the imagination of anyone who was an adult as late as the 1970s; people in those days were obsessed with mayo, gelatin, and cheese that comes out of a tube. Is that loving garlic in one of those pictures? Yeah, no, sorry, this is midcentury America we don't do garlic, take that foreigner poo poo back to whatever exotic country you're from, sir

Here's something more representative of that era:



Doesn't that just look so appetizing

They apparently called this a type of "sandwich", imagine going over to someone's house and being told that they're giving you a sandwich and then this bullshit comes out:

What was the 1989 equivalent of the high school weird anime couple?

AITA for stopping my one night stand from kissing me after she gave me a blowjob?

So I (21M) had a one night stand recently with a girl (19F) and we were kissing in the club.

When it got to the bedroom we had sex. Kissing involved. Now afterwards we went for round 2, she gave me a blowjob but I didn't cum, she went to kiss me after and I stopped her from doing that I said ''Woah woah don't do that poo poo after doing that'' and she stopped. Decided to end it there, AITA?

This guy just couldn’t have expected to ask this question with everyone going, “sounds like a normal relationship and snacking activity.”

I wonder if the old fat poly cheese bag couple can maintain lasting relationships with anyone else. Like, do they bring home a steady boyfriend/girlfriend every now and then? Someone who is familiar with their habits and decided it was acceptable? Or do they just bring in a string of randos because who in their right mind would ever come back after seeing locks and mini fridges in the separate bedrooms?
