It's actually loving hilarious to me that her weight is more of an issue than her once weekly (I bet she's lying about even every four days) bathing. I cannot imagine showing up to a movie theater after a 30 minute walk with someone who doesn't shower or wash their clothing, amazing.

In Australia, respect is earned and reciprocated, not assigned by title. You can be the highest ranking person in the country and we'll still tell you to gently caress off if you're a dickhead. OP isn't any more an rear end in a top hat than the rest of us, the culture shock would've sucked for the German though

Like it is absolutely a power play and is a bad look. If anything I'm kinda glad the other grad students were such assholes about it because someday that person will undoubtedly be pulling that poo poo with people they do have more legit power over and those people won't be able to stand up for themselves for fear of losing jobs/livelihood/etc. It's absolutely gross to treat people like that and is not at all a matter of actual respect. Someone like that absolutely does not "respect" the people beneath them nor will they treat them like actual people. ArbitraryC fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Jun 28, 2019 |

AITA for deciding my mother-in-law is not fit to take care of my kids this summer? Thus I quit my job and we can’t afford my husbands boat? Of course with all Reddit posts, there’s a ton of background here and I will try to make this brief. I know family related posts can get intense so I created a throwaway. I have a good marriage with normal ups and downs. My desire in life is to be a stay at home parent, my kids are my passion and I get more joy out of being with them and watching them grow and learn than I could any job. I do however do bookkeeping from home so I have a decent income(think I make as much as a new school teacher). However my husband confessed to me early this year that he’s tired of feeling like we don’t have the material things his friends do. He said he talked with his mom and she would be happy to watch the kids for free as a test run this summer. I reluctantly agreed and asked my work for a full time position while I study for the CPA. I’ve had major issues with my MIL, when it comes to food (worst example: she allowed my kids to eat nothing but marshmallows for an entire weekend), politics+religion (won’t get into it but we don’t agree and she always says things like “xxxxx is evil but don’t tell your mom I said that”) and safety (she flaunts the kids not wearing bike helmets and again tells the kids not to tell me). I was also exceptionally taken aback because before I got my first full time check my husband had taken out a loan at line 9% APR for a wakeboarding boat. I know he’s wanted this for a long time but the unilateral decision really, really bothered me. We are a month in and it’s not gone well to up to Yesterday. The kids have been repeatedly sick so I’m pretty sure she’s not following my food rules, they have had almost zero active time and she parks them in front of phones to watch unsupervised YouTube literally all day long. I brought both up with her and told her that when I was home with them we cooked together, we did play groups, we went to the zoo and did art camps. She head-nodded me to death and then when I left she apparently called my husband because when I saw him next he told me I needed to go easier on her because she’s why we can afford so many nice things now. Poor choice of words dude. Then yesterday she had two separate trips to the ER for 2 of the 3 kids. One severe sprain and one burn because my 6 year old was hungry for something besides candy and tried to make a pizza. Both will be fine but in addition to kids being hurt, she took them to exact ER I told her NOT to take them to and now we are going to have months long battle to try to get insurance to cover the bills. Edit: an exceptionally ignorant and argumentative commenter below is taking exemption to the ER thing. To be clear, I would have handled the burns and bruises at home. My MIL in panicked and took both kids to the ER. And she drove past the one I told her to go to in order to take them to one she was “more familiar” with. So it’s out of network meaning we are at least in for a months long battle trying to get insurance to cover and there’s a good chance we may be out thousands of dollars for these Er trips. We couldn’t potentially afford the goddamned boat (that had already needed extensive work not in warranty) BECAUSE of these ER trips. Id had it and told my work in going back to part time. I told my husband the boat is being sold and that was that. He is furious with me so is MIL. Am I the rear end in a top hat here?

My (19F) boyfriend (21M) has weird porn obsessions and he doesn’t know I know.quote:After I fall asleep my boyfriend goes into another room to watch porn. I’ve woken up in the middle of the night and walked in on him and he quickly turned his computer away from me. I didn’t think much of it until it happened the next night too, so I told him I wanted him to actually stay with me throughout the night because I have separation anxiety. He told me he would. A few nights later he left again and the same thing happened, I woke up and went and confronted him and he said he wasn’t and that he was writing a paper with his hand down his pants. I believed him. I had to use his computer the next day for research on one of my papers and I was typing something in a recent search showed up that had to do with beastiality porn. I don’t know how to feel or if I should approach him about it.

AITA for wanting to choose the flowers I want for our wedding? TLDR; My SO wants to rethink our marriage because she doesn’t like the flowers my mother chose for the wedding. SO and I have been together for 4 years and are in the midst of planning for our wedding. Everything in the wedding so far has been decided by SO and I (location, invitations, guests, etc) but it’s mostly been up to SO to have the final decision as I have been happy with what has been chosen. However, this week my mother wanted to help out by deciding the flowers for our wedding and SO doesn’t like the decision. My mother is insisting she really wants to help out our wedding and that the flowers will be paid by her as well. I thought it was very generous and thoughtful of my mother but my SO wants some other type of flower or floral arrangement. My mother is upset because she’s already ordered the flowers and arranged for them and I thought since everything else has been done to SO’s liking what would be wrong with having the flowers as what I want. I honestly don’t mind whatever flowers we have but since they’re already bought and everything else so far has been done to SO’s liking we could compromise on this decision. We also come from a culture where we should respect our elders decisions and I feel it’s really something small to compromise for our wedding. I told her I want these flowers since they’re already paid for but she got very upset asking if it’s really what I want and since when did flowers mean so much to me and isn’t it just because my family wants them. I told my SO that when my mother suggested invitations, she liked them so we decided to go with those invitations, but because the flowers aren’t to her taste we can’t just refuse. That it’s selfish to only accept what we want but not allow the rest of the family to input anything else about our wedding. I told my SO when we’re marrying we are marrying into each other’s families as well and we should accept and respect their decisions too. Now my SO has said that she wants to rethink the wedding and my decisions because I don’t seem to care about her thoughts? She has said that she wishes we had planned out the entire wedding then told our in laws. I feel like my SO is being very selfish/overreacting and disrespectful to my family but SO seems to think I’m the rear end in a top hat for putting my foot down on the flowers I want for our wedding. Edit: I changed the tldr from flowers I chose to flowers my mother chose after reading the responses. SO has put me in a position a few times in the relationship where I felt I had to choose between her and my mother so perhaps that is the issue. I’m the only child and my father passed away when I was very young so I have always felt my mother wanted to be included in my life moreso. I have told my SO I will prioritize her mostly but will listen to both sides and choose the judgement I feel right whenever I’m in such a position but it is hard to be the middle man.

I accidentally bumped my girlfriend's previously injured hand and nowshe wants to sue me? My SO and I live in CT and were recently rear ended, resulting with the both of us getting hurt. It's been made clear that the accident was no fault of my own (we were in my car). This morning I accidentally bumped her thumb that was injured in the crash. She now wants to sue me because she believes I broke it when I bumped it. Does she have a case against me for the reinjury? On a related note should I break up with her for suing me over this? She would be doing it to get money. Not to cover the expenses of the injury and that feels like a scummy thing to do to a SO.
