Gay cousin marrying a girl. Should I tell the girl?

quote:

So my cousin (26M) who is out to me. And I've known for several years. He's been sexually very active with men. But has had no opposite sex relationship or hookup. He is being pressurized by family to marry a girl. He isn't out to his immediate family because they're very strict religious people. I know that it is wrong to the girl if he lies to her, and I've tried to talk him out of it but he won't listen. What should I do. Should I contact the girl and tell her the truth or just keep silent. I'm so confused. I feel like since I know the truth it's on me to speak out and save that girls life but I don't want to ruin my bond with my cousin.

My mother [48f] is in a state of shock after discovering condoms in my[24M] bag

quote:

I am a twenty four old man and I live with my parents. I have never been in any romantic relationship with anyone. I wanted to take up a job and move out as soon as I graduated but my parents were so aghast at the idea that I had to give it up.

My parents were proud of my unconditional obedience until I turned twenty three. They were proud of the fact that I had a low libido and never flirted with girls . Sex was a taboo subject in our household and all my knowledge about sexuality was obtained from friends and classmates.

Since my childhood, I was in the habit of sharing various life experiences with my mother but she feels things have changed over the past one year or so. I had heard my friends mention things such as condoms which had often aroused my curiosity. Recently, I went to a supermarket and purchased a pack of condoms to learn more about them. I had never seen any such thing before! I placed the packet in my university bag and forgot all about it. Unfortunately, my mother discovered it in my bag and reacted vehemently.She has been behaving strangely with me since then and has often accused me of not being transparent. She claims to be in a state of shock. I have overheard animated conversations between my parents concerning my burgeoning sexuality. I am feeling terribly ashamed.How do I cope with such a stressful situation?

TL;DR: My mother discovered a packet of condoms in my bag and I have noticed a marked difference in her behavior ever since. I have overheard animated conversations between my parents concerning my burgeoning sexuality. I have considered quitting the household but my mother's emotional response is proving to be an obstacle.

And because they aren't capable of biting through human skin. Maybe inside the mouth skin is thin enough, but even then I bet their bites would be really milder than a spider's.

AITA for telling my ex-husband’s girlfriend that she is “nothing” to my children?

Kids are 7(m) and 5(f). Divorced two years ago. My relationship with the Gf hasn’t always the best because I believe they started their relationship before my husband and I officially decided to call it quits. However, I’ve basically gotten over it.

Presently, Ex and I are having some disagreements about visitation schedules. I won’t get into too many details about that part - it’s just complicated. But the latest issue is the 4th of July. Ex wants to take kids to his gf’s parents’ beach house which conflicts with my understanding of our agreement about holiday division.

Anyway, we were discussing this at ex’s home in the kitchen. Kids were upstairs and out of earshot. Gf comes in (they live together) and basically tries to give her thoughts on the whole thing. We went back and forth and I basically said she doesn’t get a vote. She starts talking about how her she doesn’t get why her opinions aren’t valid etc. I said they aren’t really because, at this point, she’s nothing to my children!

(What I mean is that she behaves as if she’s their stepmother but she is not). After I said that, she just walked out. Literally left the house and took off. (I guess she just went for a drive to clear her head but it all felt very dramatic in the moment).

Ex called me later and said my comment was cruel. But if I’m being honest, I don’t feel guilty at all.

Looking for some truthful feedback here on whether I’m wrong (if so, I will apologize).

I must say this reddit thread has made me super glad my dad decided to cheap out and wait until I was almost 18 before divorcing my mom. There was never any issue regarding visitation...mostly because my brother and I hated the gently caress out of him. I can't imagine what it must be like to be a real kid when this poo poo goes down.

I just feel bad for this guy. His parents have him so emotionally controlled that when he finally breaks out of it he'll never stop mourning the normal life experiences he's missed. Either that or he'll just stay forever and go Lizzie Borden on them one day, I guess.

Either way it's grossly unhealthy to infantilize your adult child like that. I hope this dude figures out sooner rather than later that he's not responsible for his idiot parents' feelings, he has a right to grow up.

AITA for sending a Tinder rear end in a top hat to McDonald's?

For backstory, I’m female and live in the U.S. I’m on dating apps and I’m finding that a lot of guys are just disrespectful. Some of them are polite and want to start an actual conversation, but a lot, maybe even the majority, are just ridiculous.

A lot of the messages I get are “wanna gently caress?” or “what are you looking for?” which is their way of indirectly saying “I want sex with minimal effort”. I even have in my profile that I don’t do random hookups, but I think I overestimated how often people actually read the profiles.

After having this happen a dozen times, I finally snap. A guy on Tinder messages me and the conversation seems to be going okay at first. We message back and forth and then I don’t hear a response. That’s okay, people get busy.

At around 11:30 pm he hits me with the “Sorry, I got busy. What are you up to? Wanna have some fun?” During our initial conversation I make it crystal clear, I’m not looking for hookups. I don’t to casual sex. So I remind him of this, and he starts negging me. “I knew you’d be a prude”, “not sure why you wasted my time”, “let’s just meet up at my house and talk and see where things go.”

Finally I was like, “okay, but come to my house.” and then I proceed to give him the address of a McDonald’s. In the next town over. I waited for him to get close to the location, he confirmed that he was about 5 mins away, and I unmatched him.

I just reached my breaking point with lovely men who feel entitled to ENTER MY BODY. I know the right thing to do would be to not engage, but also part of me feels like he deserved it.

I can already imagine what y’all are going to say but reddit, AITA?

Edit: Thank you all for the reddit silver, the blunt feedback, and the laughs. And to the several (presumably) men who PMed me to let me know I'm a loving bitch who should die, let's discuss this some more at my house. I'll send you my address.

AITA for shaming a woman who held up the TSA screening line?

I was in the TSA Precheck line where people are generally cognizant of the regulations. Unfortunately, a woman with her 3 children somehow ended up in this line. I have no patience for people who hold up the TSA screening line. This woman had to fish out all her feeding bottles from her 3 or 4 poorly organized bags and empty them before putting her belongings through security screening. As a result, she held up the security line for a long time. I finally had it and told her she should have been aware of the rules about liquids before getting in line and should have prepared for security screening before getting in line. I suggested that she step aside and let other travelers through and my suggestion was met with a few cheers.

She seemed really embarrassed but didn’t apologize at all. After I passed the screen I mentioned to the TSA agent he should manage the queue better. When a traveler was holding up the line he needed to step in, and he failed. He apologized and I moved on. I don’t think I’m the rear end but my co-worker mentioned I could have shown some compassion for the woman who was clearly struggling and clueless.
