Too Catholic for abortion but not too Catholic for premarital sex. Really would be more sensible the other way around. E: To clarify I'm not talking about the rape, it's the fact OP says he knows it isn't his because he was out of town, not because 'we've never hosed' And the other dumb knocked up Catholic from a page or two ago.

This woman doesn't regard me as having any worth. Should I disagree with this asessment and dump her? Or should I agree that I am, at best, 7th most important and marry her. Hmm, decisions, decisions

Peaceful Anarchy posted:To be fair, she isn't against abortion (at least her own specific abortion), her mother is. And she's getting one, so that part of the story has a less lovely ending at least. Yeah her mother guilted her into it. Which isn’t surprising sadly

Dear Prudence posted:Q. Thieving nephew: My husband and I hired his 19-year-old nephew to help us with our small business; he stole over $4,000 in petty cash from us over the past year. Our accountant uncovered this and our security tapes proved it. My sister-in-law paid us the money back so we wouldn’t file criminal charges. Her son excused his actions by saying we paid him poorly and he didn’t think we would notice. Powerful move, trying to put them down as references after that. Powerfully stupid.

I found a by-the-books bf/gf got in a screaming argument because Fandango crashed and they couldn't get them It was only noteworthy because the OP and the gf was the guy who posted a story that his gf pretended to douse him in gasoline and tried to spark a lighter as part of a 'prank'.

ad090 posted:WIBTA for telling my kid we have to sell his toy? He's little. Lecturing him isn't going to work - and if it did, you wouldn't have this problem. Saying your going to sell his toy isn't going to work because you likely won't actually follow through and even if you do, its so delayed from the behavior it won't have an impact. Timeouts could work, but you're doing those wrong, too, and taking too long/talking too much during them. You're just going to do a dickish thing to your kid that will make you feel better but won't actually change the behavior in question, so yeah, rear end in a top hat.

That mom was serious garbage and good for her for standing up to her and doing what was the right choice. Also lol at reddit saying she was cheating and it was rough sex. Good god that site is such trash.

WIBTA if I left my husband bc of his ADHD? My husband and I are both 34. We've been together since we were 20, bought a house together at 27, and married at 31. We have no kids We've got some challenges- He's extremely forgetful, drives so recklessly I don't want to be in a car w/ him, makes decisions without thinking, is extremely impulsive, has no sense of time management, and struggles to prioritize tasks. He's been telling me forever that all of this is "just his personality" and I knew this when I started dating him. He's not wrong, but I thought that was the personality of a 20 year old stoner in a puka shell necklace. 3-4 years back, right around the time of our wedding he found Jessica McCabe's TedTalk. It was a lightbulb moment for both of us. My husband very clearly has ADHD. Listening to Jessica describe her life was like listening to my husband. It's very obvious to both of us that this is what's been going on. If you listen to Jessica's talk or follow her work, she's emphatic that one of the most important pieces to her recovery was getting on the right meds and getting with the right therapist. He has refused. "This is just how (he) is." and I should deal with it. Fast forward to yesterday. The incident that broke the camel's back. He left me at the grocery store. We had just come out of publix and we were loading the groceries in the car. He grabbed the last two bags out of the cart and I said "why don't i bring the cart back up front and you can pick me up there?" He agreed. I took the cart back into the store and as I was coming out, I saw him leave the parking lot. I thought "surely, he's just going to swing around." He did not. I realize at this moment that my wallet, keys, cell phone, money and ID are all in the passengers seat of his car. So he is gone and I am alone, with no money, no ID and no phone in front of the grocery trying to figure out what I've done wrong. Reader, I sat there for just over TEN MINUTES before he came back. Which means he was 5 minutes back to our house before he realized I wasn't there. I took him 30 seconds to forget me, and 5 minutes to remember. I think I'm done. I just don't think I can deal with this anymore. It's like playing roulette with him, I never know if I'm going to get the thoughtful stable husband, or an overgrown forgetful child. His risk taking, forgetfulness, and insensitivity make me feel like I don't matter. I am deeply, painfully jealous when we hang out with other couples because I want the doting husband, I want the teammate, I want the partner I don't have. My mother and some of my friends tell me I'm crazy, I knew what I was getting into, I just need to live with his ADHD. Others are telling me that if I feel this bad, I should leave, and that if it was alcohol/drugs/physical abuse and he wasn't getting help, no one would question my choice. So, WIBTA if I left him because his untreated ADHD is making me feel like I don't matter as a person?

AITA for dropping off my cheating boyfriend at the other end of the country and leaving him to figure out his way back alone? My boyfriend and I were together for nearly 6 years. 2 months ago a woman contacted me and confessed that she had sex with my boyfriend multiple times or over a year and felt guilty about it so she confessed. I talked to her and 100% confirmed it. Obviously I was devastated, I felt stupid for not noticing anything for years and honestly revenge was the only thing that fueled me. So over the last month I've hitched a plan: I would propose we take a coast to coast road-trip from California to Maryland and when we get to MD I would take my car, tell him we're over, and ditch him there to figure his way back to Cali. I put on a poker face throughout the month and pretended not to know what he's up to. So the day comes, we embark on the road-trip. We're cracking jokes, laughing, but it took all I had not to kick him out in Middle America, after all Maryland was farther away. Finally we reach Maryland and after spending some time eating I tell him to get out of the car. He thinks I'm joking but once I throw out his bags and other stuff he complies. I tell him I know all about what he's been doing and as soon as I say that he tries sprinting to the door but I lock it. I shout "go gently caress yourself" and hit the gas, leaving him on the road. It took some time to get back to California but once I do I feel a giant weight off my shoulders. I left him on the road with his phone and about 200$ in cash. He has family in Annapolis so it's not like I left him to die. However yesterday word comes out that he lost his job because he failed to go to work and he's been calling me nonstop cursing me out. gently caress him. All my friends are torn on this. Some are saying he got what he deserved and some are saying that I took it too far. I have me solace knowing he got fired and hosed himself over. He's still with his family in Annapolis and best thing though? I've consulted with a lawyer and he can't do anything about it. I do want a third party's opinion on this though.

Weird how almost every story we see about someone yelling at their partner to get out of the car is abusive, and yet the narrator of this tale about premeditated for maximum damage sounds so righteous, even though half of the people who know her better than the reader of her version of events are telling her that it was wrong!

I dont understand how the dude got fired from work. He was presumably halfway or less into the vacation, even assuming it takes a day or two to get back to a major city he could then just fly home in a few hours. Hell even a small city with a car rental would have been enough. Conclusion: Boyfriend cheated on the woman he was cheating on her with the city of Annapolis.

In stories like this, you have to understand that actual familiarity with the situation is the enemy of true understanding. The friends always tell the OP they were wrong to grab someone else’s life and absolutely atomic piledriver it. Here in the thread we can bask in the isolated glow of the OP dunking on a turd without having to spend any time worrying about the man because he’s not a real person to us.

Alternatively, we could invite blasphemy into this thread and call it a fake story.
