My (F/25) boyfriend (M/25) travelled six hours to spend a weekend with his friend (F/25) in my hometown. For context: - We are in a long distance relationship (6 hours drive). - We’ve been together just over two years. He also had a brief fling with the aforementioned friend. - His friend has made it clear that she doesn’t like me/doesn’t think I’m good enough for him. So, I hadn’t seen my boyfriend (M/25) in two months (due to both of our work commitments and generally very busy schedules) and then I found out (through a Facebook post) that he had travelled down to my hometown last weekend and had spent the weekend with his friend (F/25). They had gone for food and drinks and then had had a night out, and he stayed over hers two nights. What upset me was that he hadn’t considered to tell me that he was going to do this, and obviously wasn’t interested in seeing me or bothered that we hadn’t seen each other in so long. He didn’t text me at all over the whole weekend either. What has also upset me is that he hasn’t ever actually been the one to travel to see me. I have always travelled to see him (we have both moved about a lot and the distances have varied, I have only recently moved back to my hometown). I can’t believe that he would travel such a long distance to see a friend and not think to ask if I wanted to see him at all. I know that he’s absolutely entitled to see his friends and not me, but I feel like he’s willing to go the extra mile for her and not me. This isn’t the first time that there have been problems with this friend. I have tried speaking to him about it but he got immediately defensive about it and said I was overreacting and upset over nothing. His ex girlfriend was also very uneasy about his friendship with this girl, and he keeps saying how much I’m reminding him of his ex. I was cheated on in the past, and didn’t find out until 8 months later, even though all the signs were there, so I’m just worried that I’m making a fool out of myself again. Am I upset over nothing? Or is it strange that someone would travel to their girlfriend’s hometown to see someone else and not even suggest seeing their girlfriend too? Is there a better way of making him see why I’m upset? TDLR: I don’t know if I’m overreacting over my boyfriend (M/25) travelling six hours to spend a weekend with his friend (F/25) in my (F/25) homework when I haven’t seen him in two months.

AITA for letting my brother get caught shoplifting and possibly ruining his career? I’m a 17 year old female, just graduated high school and headed to university in the fall. My brother is 24 years old and was just accepted to medical school this April after applying once unsuccessfully. The whole family was ecstatic about the whole thing because it’s been his dream and he’s worked really hard for this. Getting to the important part: My brother is an adrenaline junkie and has been doing dangerous things all his life. Ever since he was little, he would steal little things and bring them home. For the past few years, he’s been taking advantage of target’s lovely self checkout services and basically shoplifting stuff. A year ago he came home with a kurieg (coffee machine) and comes back with clothes, a poo poo ton of groceries when his receipt says he spent $20. My parents have no idea, just myself and my siblings and his girlfriend. 2 weeks ago we went to target to get some groceries and a couple shelves. He, of course, stacked the cart with clothes, shoes, ect. When we got to checkout, he told me what he was gonna do so I was just like okay whatever you wanna do. He looked really nervous though because this target was one we hadn’t been to before, him and his girlfriend bickered at the self checkout stand and then left without paying. I asked them what happened and they said there was a worker watching them so they would walk around the store a bit before checking out. They stopped by the bathrooms and whispered to eachother and I noticed a man in a batman t-shirt suspiciously walking by us several times. I observed him for a bit and saw he was walking to self checkout, talking to a family, and then the family walked out and he did not. I knew then, he was a secret security. There are security/employees that dress normally and walk around looking for shoplifters. I told my brother I didn’t feel good about this and he shouldn’t do it. He told me not to worry. Long story short here, he got caught. Him and his gf got caught walking out of the store by the man in the batman shirt (I went to the bathroom because I honestly didn’t want to be there while they did what they were gonna do). They pleaded with the security and said they could pay for everything but target called the police. My brother now has a misdemeanor on his record and he has to report it. I’m pretty sure he’s going to have his acceptance taken away and won’t be able to apply again. Basically, I had the knowledge that he was probably gonna get caught and I didn’t say anything. I told my mom that I knew there was a secret shopper and she was furious that I didn’t tell him or say anything. Now I’m spending my summer trying to figure out solutions for my brother. I feel like an rear end in a top hat for not telling him but I didn’t know 100% and he was so sure of himself. So, Am I really the rear end in a top hat here?

School Nickname posted:In Ireland we have: There are also many intersections with no signage in the US. The larger road has right of way and the smaller road has to treat it as a stop sign by default. If the toads are roughly equal, then everyone is supposed to stop. It’s pretty simple. Right turns on red (after a complete stoo) ease the flow of traffic. In Texas you can even turn left on red (alsp after a complete stop) as long as it is a one-way to another one-way.

Really the only thing I dislike about condoms is that you have to stop what you're doing for a minute to put it on. Small price to pay. Wear a dang rubber if you don't want chrilden. Sorry about your broken penis dude. I agree that they work and use them if you need them but wow.

She's not an rear end in a top hat, but that's one of the secrets you should really take to the grave. No one else knew and given her mom's vehement response, her brother is going to find out she's going to have to deal with a family shitstorm for a long time. Especially if he loses his chance to go to med school

Because it certainly doesn't sound like they are. Also, where are people getting the idea that it's alright to be not be any sort of priority to their significant other? The guy didn't even try to coordinate with this woman after a 6 hour drive. That's willfully not wanting to spend time with her. So why is she still calling him her boyfriend?

MagusofStars posted:So left turns on red are typically only legal from a one-way street onto another one-way street. The reason is that this means you don’t have to cross a bunch of lanes of traffic to complete your turn-on-red. Nankeen’s Australian, which is why I asked about left on red. Right on red in Australia would I assume come with the problems you list, though.

AITA for arguing with my dad about finding my underwear in his closet? I’m a 15 year old female and I own thongs because I do sports requiring me to wear spandex and feel self conscious having panty lines. I’ve discussed this with my mom before and she understood and let me order some with my own money for use when I work out. A few days ago I was going through an area in my dad’s closet where he had told me to grab a shirt for him and in a box underneath a robe, I found a thong that I’ve been searching for for weeks. I immediately went downstairs and brought it up with my dad. He insisted that he didn’t know how it got there and I eventually gave up. I went back upstairs into the box and found 4 more thongs and 2 lacy bras, 2 of the underwear and the bras being my mom. I had been missing the two other thongs for months and was honestly very excited to find them. I once again confronted my dad and he admitted him hiding them because he didn’t think they were appropriate for me. When I told him that half of the underwear and both bras were my mom’s he said he didn’t think they were appropriate for her, either. We argued for a bit about it because I didn’t think he should’ve taken it from me without telling me or my mom and should’ve instead had a conversation so I could explain myself. He was pissed that I invaded his privacy and that he had the right to do what he did. AITA?

I'm sure it works perfectly well when you're used to it, but turning right (well, left in my case) on red fills me with terror simply because it's not how I learned to drive. Red light not meaning "unconditional stop" just doesn't feel right!! Although where I live we have some weird intersections where you turn right from the left lane which I know is bewildering to people who aren't used to it. Anyway, content: AITA for not telling my husband that I know his secret quote:My husband and I have been married for almost two decades. We have a daughter who is my favorite person on this earth. She is so fantastic. She will be starting her senior year of high school and is preparing to apply for colleges. DESTROY HIM!!

Red light not meaning "unconditional stop" just doesn't feel right!! "I didn't learn how to do that when I was a teenager" is a poor excuse for refusing to learn how to do something. It's what fat Americans from the midwest say when they see a roundabout for the first time. Do you imagine that you're smarter than a fat American from the midwest? Then prove it by learning how to turn at a stop light (when it's allowed) (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Well, obviously I would if I was in a situation where I had to, I would just be very nervous about it the first couple times, which is also totally fair enough for any "fat mid-western Americans" to also feel when confronted with a new traffic situation!

AITA for liking a game? My friend has an irrational hate for the game Undertale. If I as much as refrence it he threatens to kick me out of our group chat and has almost cancelled plans because of me saying the name of it or even referencing his hate for it. He has given me reasons like its not fun and stuff but nothing that'd make him hate hate it. I try to not mention it but sometimes I accidentally say something or he overhears one of my conversations with another friend and he gets mad. Am I missing something here?

Gluten Freeman posted:WIBTA for giving our daughter formula, without telling my husband? NTA, it's hosed up that your husband thinks he can control how much breast milk you produce and is like... belligerently demanding that you produce more so that the baby doesn't have to consume formula? It sounds like he'll never know because he's a poo poo who doesn't help prepare bottles anyway. Maybe switch over now and hold onto a few of those frozen breast milk bottles just in case he turns out to be a raging rear end in a top hat and needs to be placated, "oh honey we got another donation". Or better yet, pre-make a bunch of formula, freeze it, and pretend that it's breast milk. And good news: switching to formula will make no difference at all to your baby, your husband is an idiot.

Gluten Freeman posted:WIBTA for giving our daughter formula, without telling my husband? loving men honestly! And I am one! Also condoms probably don’t feel that different if you’re an American with a butchered dick with not much feeling in it but for a normal dick-haver they do greatly reduce sensation. Whether they ruin it enough for the guy to prefer no sex is down to personal choice I guess.

Roundabout construction in the US has increased quite a bit in the last decade since suburbs and rural areas realized its super cheap since you dont need to install lights. This does mean, however, that typically the areas with the highest density of roundabouts are places with the least people like the midwest

I count seven roundabouts in that picture alone, and only a single intersection without one! In high school the route my bus took went through this huge figure eight shaped roundabout and every time I went through it I thought the bus would tip over from the turns.

Forza Horizon 3 taught me how to deal with roundabouts: when the GPS tells you “at the roundabout, take the second left” it means you should floor it because some rear end in a top hat put grass in the middle of the road up ahead
