AITA for blowing up at my best friend and boyfriend for manipulating me?

If the boyfriend had been upfront about being a fan of op's instagram, it would have been a little weird and awkward at first, but also something that you can work past if you wanted to. I know a lot of gay dudes in my social circles with twitter and instagram accounts where they post personal pictures. So people following other people on social media before meeting the actual person face to face isn't unheard of. But this is in a major metropolitan area with a large LGBT community and not a small town.

But since the boyfriend wasn't honest from the get go, it really does look sketchy and manipulative. Its a big breach of trust.

Screw the best friend for pimping out the op for money

That being said, he COULD be at risk if the peppers were within reach of someone like an unsupervised toddler who would think nothing of wandering into the yard and grabbing a shiny red thing to eat. He’ll probably avoid consequences here but should consider protecting the peppers a little better, like maybe a gated fence.

My sister (27F) didn't tell me (25M) that her new husband is a Tier 2 sex offender.

quote:

She's been with this guy for a few years. My family(mom 52f, dad 55m) tried to welcome him in but my wife (30f) was very hesitant. We had just had a baby and she hated the new guy my sister was dating. My wife didn't want him around and said he creeped her out. My family pushed my wife to 'get over it' and that she was just being hormonal. I told my wife that I thought she was going overboard but I agreed to assuage her fears by not letting him be around our young daughter.

This week my sister told me that he is a registered sex offender and spent years in federal prison for possession of child porn. My wife is livid at my sister for not telling us and for my family telling her that she was crazy when she was totally right to be concerned. My wife and I have decided that we are done seeing him forever, that my sister needs to divorce him and apologize for hiding this from us, and that my parents need to be told that new flames shouldn't be automatically made family in the first month.

Are we in the right here?

TL;DR Sister didn't tell us her husband was a sex offender for child porn possession and brought him around even though we have a young daughter. We want to cut him off, give my family an intervention, and demand an apology from her as well as divorce. Is this too much? Not enough?

EDIT: I should be clear: We don't demand a divorce as much as we told my sister she has to choose between being with him or seeing us and our daughter.

They probably mean that a lot of blown glass shops make things that happen to look trashy, not that factories are inherently superior or whatever strawman argument you're trying to create. We have an old guy down the street who has invested tons of time and effort turning his garage into a glass blowing workshop, and while I'm sure he must know all sorts of impressive techniques for creating interesting shapes he just doesn't produce anything that looks good. As in, "hey isn't this curvy-edged color-clashing bowl just the grooviest???" The only people who buy his stuff are other old white people.

The small bowls and vases and things in a blown glass shop that actually look nice are almost 100% of the time produced in a factory. The shop is just reselling those. Artists usually don't want to create nice bowls and vases that people might actually use, they want to create an elaborate glass sculpture of a hand holding a tear drop.

The pepper that made the kid vomit was a Carolina Reaper. For reference, Tabasco sauce is around 2000 Scoville units for heat. A Carolina Reaper average 1.5 million. Vomiting like that kid did was a pretty normal reaction and they can cause massive headaches and other hot peppers have caused difficulty breathing. Toddlers would be even more sensitive to potential bad reactions or accidentally getting the juice in their eyes.

Here's an oldie.

My [21 M] white girlfriend [ 21 F] said that I moved up the social ladder for dating her and I'm lucky for a brown guy.

quote:

Okay guys, I'm using a throwaway cause my girlfriend seems to know a lot of people. Sorry, if it's a bit long and winded. Please bear with me.

My girlfriend (Jennifer; not real name) and I are both college students in a mostly white university. It's known for having a great engineering program and thus has an influx of brown South Asian students including me (Mostly male) come in.

Now, I am a Christian Indian born and raised in America, who comes from the stereotypical, traditional family who came to this college for engineering. My girlfriend is white who was apart of a sorority when she started college here for about 2 years until she had to leave due to time commitment issues. I met and started dating her about a year and a half ago when she was in the process of leaving. I had actually started liking here before I knew about her sorority past. (Just putting that out there)

Jennifer still keeps in touch with her sisters and also knows many guys and is still very social. I, on the other hand was nothing like her at all. She is the first girlfriend that I have had. I, like most brown guys it seems, was a shy, socially awkward nerd who didn't know how to talk to girls in the first year. I met a "friend" in one of my classes who seemed to gravitate towards me because I guess he knew I would be willing to help him out in class and help him with homework answers and perhaps he may have used me. I didn't care, because I was willing to do anything to make friends. In return, he invited me to hang out with him and his friends and in a short amount of time he taught me a lot of things when it came to the social scene, parties, clothes, and talking to girls. (I actually was able to get a hand-job from a girl who did it through pity for the most part)

Eventually, I met Jennifer at a party that my friend invited me to. We hit it off and we started dating. Everything is swell. She introduced me to her friends who didn't mind me at first. I introduced her to my friends both white and brown. I still made friends with the brown guys because that's my people, if that makes sense and helped them with their social life.

Now, this happened a few days ago and I haven't seen my girlfriend in person yet. Well, we were both talking about a Greek hosted party that we were invited to and encouraged to invite anyone we could. So, me being a friend wanted to invite a few of my brown friends to the party just as she wanted to invite her own friends. When my gf heard that I was going to invite other brown guys, she came up to me and asked me nicely "Is it alright if you didn't invite your friends?

I asked her why? She said "not all of them, just a few." I asked again which ones? She basically listed off all of my brown friend and none of the white friends that I was planning on inviting. (My list isn't that big btw). We went back and forth about it until she dropped this bomb.

"Well, let's be honest you went up a notch socially since we've been dating. You don't see Indian guys dating white girls like me at all do you? I did agree with her on that part regretfully. My girlfriend is a very hot and attractive girl like most sorority girls and does have guys eyeing her. I guess I agreed, because honestly every brown guy that I have seen with a girlfriend has been either overweight or just not attractive at all and I assume they are settling for a brown guy because no other guy will take them. So, I felt like the luckiest brown guy in the world since dating my girlfriend. I know this makes me a douche bag and I hate the fact I think like this and it doesn't help that Indian men are the least desirable by most women including Indian women :/

Anyways, I told her so are you dating me for some exotic thrill, pity, dare, or because you actually love me? She said "of course I love you. I wouldn't be with you with this long if I didn't". After, some loving words, we had sex and she went back home and we left the question about the friends up in the air. The party isn't for nearly 2 weeks, so there's time.

Now, I don't what to think or position to take from this exchange. On one hand, I feel very hurt emotionally as I could never measure up to my girlfriend especially when another dude could snatch her up easily. I'm also hurt because I am not ashamed of my heritage and should never be, but my girlfriend goes and says this. I love her so much and she may be my first everything for the most part, but I feel so close and understand one another on the same wavelength. I don't know if this could be get in the way of our relationship.

Tldr; My white girlfriend says that I should be lucky for dating her as a brown guy after getting into argument about inviting brown friends to a party and now I don't know how to feel about this and where I should I go from here.

EDIT: Thank you everyone for all of the advice and encouragement I received from you all. I decided I'm going to talk to my girlfriend and ask her about where she sees us in the future. I will also go more in depth for her reason for dating me and her views on brown people. I will make sure I update you all. It'll either be good or bad. I'll let you all know either way.

And the update:

quote:

Hey guys, I'm back. Now I know it's been a while since my first post, but I had become so busy and preoccupied in the last 10 months that I had forgotten about this post.

From what I can remember(Some things might be a blur), I told you guys I was going to talk to her about bringing my Indian friends to the Greek party that was being hosted 2 weeks after my first post. Before that, I decided to have some alone time for the next few days from my girlfriend so I can have a clear head. I went to go see my family and spend some time with them.

I saw my girlfriend again and I acted kind of normal and kind of in a way that I hoped she would realize something is bothering me. (I know stupid passive aggressiveness) Neither of us bought the topic back up. But, then a few days before the party, this built up rage and discomfort that was in my chest decided to come out. I looked in the mirror and literally said "F*ck this"

I called Jennifer up and told her I want to break up with her and she became both pretty mad and sad. We argued and I told her how I can't see myself with someone like her and that she isn't worth wasting my time over. She came over to talk face to face and asked if it was about the "social ladder comment" she said. I let her know it was that and a few other things. I was pretty stoic the entire time and didn't have tears or anything since I haven't cried since I was like 8. I say this because it definitely put a toll on her showing her no emotions or regret. She thinks I never cared for her and obviously that wasn't really the reason.

She gathered her stuff from my apartment and actually left pretty quickly and cooperatively. Basically, we kind of cut off contact and she did send me a text message in the following days with a love poem and I still kind of said "It's best to move on since she can easily find someone of a higher social status" Looking back I didn't mean to say this, but I wanted to end on a personal high note. I also didn't go to the party anyways.

Literally, within less than 2 weeks I found out she was already dating someone else. Being curious and the the pain kind of fresh, I Facebook messaged an acquaintance of mine (after the weird introduction) who I knew worked with my ex and asked him " By any chance do you know the guy she is dating? He let me know it was another co-worker that he and the ex work with.

Luckily, he promised he wouldn't tell my ex about the conversation, he let me know that ever since the new guy started working at the job, my ex and him showed obvious signs she was really into him. Now, I don't know what was happening before they actually got together, but I deiced to delete her from all my contacts and social media and decided to move on. To find out, she was cheating before I broke up with her would have been pretty rough. (Yes, the dude happens to be white and in a frat)

I decided to move on for the rest of the year and just focus on my school work and make more friends. Still got to get that degree. As far as I know, she could still be dating the guy or he could have been a rebound. I don't know. I'm glad I don't run into her anywhere.

TLDR: Decided to break up with girlfriend and focus on school the past year and she started dating another guy that she seemed to have shown interest before we broke up.

Success!



I hate everyone in this stupid, pointless story.

My friend (M25) said I (F23) make the “ahego” face when I yawn, and it’s caused a bunch of useless drama.

quote:

This is pretty silly considering the other posts on this sub, but I’d appreciate the advice.

Background: I’m a big yawner. My mom said I have a “lion yawn”. Basically I open my mouth pretty wide and stick out my tongue, kinda like a cat. Sometimes if I’m really tired my eyes will tear up or sort of cross and yeah. It’s the ahego face.

So two weeks ago I’m hanging out with some friends at my place. We’re all of the nerdy persuasion. One of those friends is who I’ll call Mark, the M25, who I know from work and like fairly well. I was tired because I had worked a long shift that day, and we were smoking weed. So I let out a gigantic yawn. Mark immediately laughed at me, and when I looked at him confused, he said: "You always make the ahego face when you yawn!”

Most of my friends laughed at this, pretty hard at that. My roommate (F24) and a few other friends weren’t too keen
, I think roomie said “GROSS, Mark.” But here’s the problem: I had no loving clue what the ahego face was. My anime knowledge doesn’t go past Cowboy Bebop. So I asked. And everyone who laughed in the first place lost their loving poo poo. I googled it, acted faux-horrified and then laughed it off, thinking that’d be the end of it.

It was not. A few days later roomie was lamenting that it was inappropriate. Our other roommate, who was also there and laughed initially, said she also realized it was creepy once she sobered up. They basically said it was like if he had said “Wow, you sound like a pornstar when you yawn!”. Which, yeah, is a lil weird.

Meanwhile, on the other side, other friends have been saying roomie is overreacting and being crazy. Mark is a jokey dude. According to one of my friends who’s more into anime, ahego is kind of a meme, and Mark doesn’t even like hentai. (How she knew that about him is a mystery)

So now there’s this weird little rift I want nothing to do with. People are leaving people on read or not inviting them over bc of ahegogate. EVERYONE who was present has an opinion. I’ve gotten rants about hypersensitivity and inappropriateness. For Mark’s record, I don’t think he’s noticed...? Or, if he had, he hasn’t voiced it to me.

On my end, I honestly think it was an innocuously-told joke. Mark has sort of a dark sense of humor. I don’t think he was being purposefully horny towards me. HOWEVER, like I said, we work together. Which means we often work early morning shifts together. And now I have literally suppressed every single yawn that comes to me when I’m in his presence.

I don’t need nor want an apology for him, cuz this is stupid. But I’m afraid it’s gonna boil into some unneeded resentment between my friends, and I’d also like to be tired in peace. Should I confront him? Confront everyone and tell them to calm down? Or do nothing, and let my anime porn yawn take me to the stars?

TL;DR Friend said I make the ahego face when I yawn, everyone present for said joke has a big opinion on it, I don’t care but can’t yawn around him now

Jesus Christ what a bunch of weirdo nerds. Not one, but all of them know the term for... anime porn face?!
