I feel really bad for that OP because even if her coworkers are right—and they could be wrong—her only “offense” is being oblivious. But instead of coming together to support each other the employees are turning against one another.

I [29 F] am pregnant with twins, my fiance [26 M] wants to give them stupid names.

I'll keep this short- I'm having twin boys. My fiance and I agreed that I would pick their first names and he would pick the middle names. I picked two cute, normal names that I thought would go well with his last name. He picked Batman and Spiderman. He is completely serious. He says these are the names he's always planned to give his children and he thinks that any little boy would love to have the middle name of a superhero.

My question is twofold- 1. How bad would it be if our sons had stupid middle names? Would it be something they resent? and 2. Is this worth an argument? I definitely think he's being an idiot but should I just get over it or should I try to stop this?

tl;dr: Should I let my fiance give our sons the middle names Batman and Spiderman?

I [24M] cheated on my girlfriend [24F] when I was away with friends [24M,24M,23M]. Don't know what to do.
u/Couldusesomeadvive

quote:

Some friends and I went on a trip up in the mountains to get away from everything. We're also celebrating Kyle getting over his illness he was battling for a couple of years. We all have girlfriends, and the plan was for us to just do some activities together and go back to the cabin.

One night we all decided to go to the pub. Kyle, Martin and Oliver all said that they had their two beers and wanted to head back and watch a movie or something. We had met a bunch of girls there that were talking to us. I said I was going to hang back and talk to them a little more. Kyle still told me not to do anything stupid. I got a little too drunk and ended up hooking up with one of the girls. The guys were trying to call me all night. They even went back to the pub to look for me.

The guys knew what I did as soon as I walked in. I could tell they were all pissed. I told them I was sorry. They told me that it's them that I need to explain myself to. They all said that their girlfriends may doubt them now because I pulled this poo poo. Those three were nothing but loyal to their girlfriends. I told them I'd back them up. They went back to the cabin after two beers at 8pm. They watched Batman for god sake.

We got back yesterday and I don't know how to tell Rachel what I did. I don't have the courage to

TL;DR: How do I come clean to my GF and make sure none of it blows back on the other guys? They seriously didn't even look at other girls while we were on vacation. They were at the cabin watching a movie.

My [25M] girlfriend [24F] only watches "tasteless" movies and television, doesn't ever watch things i like. I asked her to watch something I like for once and she got angry and stopped talking to me.
u/badmoviesthrowaway

quote:

My girlfriend is intelligent and attractive and I do love her. We don't disagree much at all so this is kind of hard for me to talk with her about; when i try she just gets upset and I don't understand why she seems to want to die on this hill.

the problem is she only watches movies and television programs for small children and chick flick type things (the last two she saw were coco and shapes of water and some of the tv shows i've seen her watch include "avatar: the last airbender" and "steven universe" to give you an idea of what kind of stuff it is. She even once said she prefers the cartoon batman to the actual batman movies!) she doesn't invite me to go with her anymore, just watches them by herself or with friends.

frankly, it's really embarrassing to see such an otherwise smart person watching really simple stuff. 3 days ago I asked her if she wants to watch my stuff instead for once and explained that I was put off by how childish all the cartoons and stuff were and she said she'd rather not watch anything with me and hasn't really talked much to me since. I tried to say sorry and just drop it even if it bothers me but she said she felt like I didn't respect her, her "future career", or her interests, and didn't want an apology right now. How do I get her to accept an apology and maybe even have her give my favorites a chance for a change?

tl;dr: Girlfriend only watches kids cartoons and silly, non serious cinema, and won't watch anything good with me. I pointed this out and she got angry

The buried lede here is that the girlfriend is "majoring in cartoons at university" and "She wants to be a cartoonist" (ops words).

AITA For breaking things off with my Girlfriend
u/Pm_Me_Your_Boobs7

quote:

So for the last couple of months ive been kinda struggling if im an rear end in a top hat or not. So a few months ago i landed a date with a wonderful woman, We worked together, and we started texting for 2 days straight. She was nearly a decade older than me but she was nice in every regard.

I asked her on a date and after some convincing we went on a date! We went bowling, went to the park, kissed, and then talked in a parking lot for a good 2 hours before we got a motel room and had some fun. She took my first kiss, first date and V-card in one night and it was amazing. We talked everyday pretty much, and when the time came for a second date we decided to just go for dinner and talk, that was it, didnt want to rush things. We agreed and at the last minute she canceled to go to a Fair with her cousin. Ok, thats understandable, one time isnt a big deal so i kinda brushed it off with an ok and had a dissapointing night.

Second time we planned the date and again she said yes, just simple dinner, maybe an hour out of her day to eat. That morning she went out with one of her friends to the mall and around came time for dinner she pushed it back an hour, then another, and another then cancelled all together. I was a bir mad but ok, it happens. No big deal.

Similar things happen again, similar situation. At work shed "make up" for it. Wed go in the back around closing and makeout and whatnot and i was ok with this.

Happens a fourth time in as many weeks, this time it was for the movies. I say gently caress it amd go on my own and have a wonderful time, i watched Spiderman:Homecoming, and wonderwoman, had dinner and got a book. On my way home she texted me and kinda ignored the fact of what happend. I told her i was getting sick and tired of her cancelling last minute, at least tell me a few hours before and not last minite. Then she dropped a bombshell that she "Might be pregnant" which scared the poo poo out of me. She was on birth control and we didnt have sex without a condom. Her test came back negative and yes i made sure she wasnt pregnant. After that i kinda stopped and thought to myself was it all worth it? The stress, the sudden bullshit bombshell, the last minute cancels and the careless attitude. I broke up with her, and a week later i go homeless and lose my job because of losing my house.

Now ive kinda sat and brewed over it all for the past month. She was nice and sweet and funny and wonderful but she just didnt care at all about a relationship. Ues i could have been more patient but i was completely stressed out by losing my house and my job and everything going wrong in my life, and now im not sure if i made the right call. Am i an rear end in a top hat?

People who review those shows well are mostly doing it because they watched it as a kid and feel nostalgic for it. They probably haven't even watched them since they were kids and are just going on memories

She's majoring in cartoons at university, which is probably what she's talking about. I just put it in quotation marks because it's always possible she'll change her mind.

I mean she made sure a) to dump him there with his bags b) to dump him in a city where he has family c) did it in the middle of a vacation. The fact that he managed to get fired is entirely his own fault. The lady was if anything merciful and benevolent in her retribution.

Smirking_Serpent posted:

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.

Okay I couldn't find any mention of it being specifically vacation time, but they planned going there in advance and she resisted the temptation to dump him somewhere where he has no support.
