WIBTA for having an unequal will drafted even though my kids are young?

I'm 44 with an 18 year old daughter and a 16 year old son. I'm a single father since my wife passed three year ago. Not that it's relevant, but both she and our second daughter passed during childbirth.

I've been dealing with thoughts of mortality and death recently and figured I should get a will drafted to ensure my children are secure. Even though they're still young, I think at this point how they act and behave resembles what they will as they're older. I think most people become themselves around these ages.

I want to split it 90/10 favoring my daughter. She's about to graduate university after an accelerated highschool program and my son wants to drop out the moment he can (here it's at 17). Here's a few things my son has done or has been a part of that cements my idea:

got two girls pregnant, both were terminated
has been expelled from one highschool and had to be put in another in a further district
has already been involved with the police for driving without a license, driving inebriated, and felonious assault (knife)
As much as I love my son since a father's love is unconditional, I don't like him if that makes sense. I believe he has no future and it's not a function of his upbringing, else my daughter wouldn't be at her point. He's just a bad seed, it can't be helped despite my attempts.

My estate isn't huge. I'd give him nothing but at least 10% of my estate ensures he can't contest it and it's enough to get him a couple years of rent. If he makes a complete 180, sure I can get it changed, but I'm confident I won't have to.

Am I the rear end in a top hat, though?

My (27f) girlfriend lied to me about doing cam girl work

quote:

Tldr gf originally told me she wanted to do some cam girl work but then said she had decided not to. I logged into her computer with the web browser still open on her account for a cam site then lied to me when I questioned her.

So my gf and I have spoken about her doing cam model stuff in the past but she always told me she wanted to do non nude stuff and just stick to the flirty side of it (I didn't know that kind of can model work was a thing until she showed me the site she wanted to sign up to and the rules around it) anyways she told me she decided against it and a year has past and I've not thought anything of it until I logged into our PC and she had left the web browser open with her log in details for her account which I was quite taken back by so even though I probably shouldn't have I dug a little deeper and she has been doing full nude shows and messaging guys and never told me. I have brought it up with her and she's trying to tell me she only done it once but I know she is lying and now I'm confused and don't know how to feel as we spoke about her possibly doing it and I was ok with it as she had spoken to me about it but then kept it from me when she told me she had changed her mind

AITA for exposing the poo poo out of my ex-girlfriend for her racist remarks?

quote:

My ex-girlfriend (20F) and I (20M) broke up a few months ago. It was a less-than-ideal breakup, she really didn't want us to be separated. For relevance, my ex wanted to continue to follow me on social media (I didn't care that she did, I wanted her to see I was moving on so she should too).

Anyway, I recently got back out in the dating game. I started seeing a black girl (I am white). I posted a picture of her on my SnapChat during a hike captioned "Isn't she lovely *heart-eye emoji*"

My ex then 'chatted me' with the picture on Snap a bunch of crazy, racist bullshit. She said things like "Monkey out of the zoo?", "You're gay now?? Seeing a guy?", "Stupid chimp go back to Africa", "Beautiful, where is this? Watermelon Falls?"

Anyway, this infuriated the hell out of me so I screen-shotted it and just posted it EVERYWHERE. Literally. My snap story, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, everywhere. I even tagged her family and close friends so they could all see it because I was so full of rage.

But now that I had a few days to relax, I feel kinda lovely. Her whole family (and her) apologized and asked me to take it down (Facebook deleted it for 'violating their terms of service which is where most of the family saw it). I originally refused then but have since removed it. I feel like I let my emotions get the best of me for some reason, but the racist tirade was so uncalled for I couldn't control myself.

My girlfriend was neutral for it mostly, she was of course upset but understood how unstable my ex was. She also said it would be wise just to just remove it, and then block my ex on everything.

So guys, AITA for putting a racist rant by my ex for everyone to see??????

The reason men like me communicate with women. Manhattan New York. (self.relationship_advice)

quote:

I think I always communicate or attempt to connect with a female for a potential possibility or possible future outcome. In my mind, all the female that I ever spoke with after college, outside of family and work. I have a space in my head that is telling to start something with that female. Maybe start a girlfriend boyfriend relationship, maybe a sexual fetish. Maybe just being a pervert and want to have a wet dream about them. Whatever the reason. I always believed that I can one day do something about each and every girl.

So I recently met girl from a online site, not dating. Not tinder or anything. But just a online, get to know the people who live near you type of site. And this girl again with what I said above. I have some future intentions with her. Recently asked her out ..... To see instant family and have dinner at Applebee's or red lobster. Near time square. And we talked more. About what we do for jobs and stuff. She was a model.

Honest to god, first real life model acquaintance ever. In my mind. I think NYC is a open and full of both opportunities and disappointments at the same time. Because she was a model and she was so open about it and showed me some of her gallery work. Now From another state, and never got in contact with a model before. I was not thinking anything negative.... yet. I was thinking if she is open about what she does then it's nothing bad or unethical. As the night went on. And the more we talk. I concluded that I liked this girl and she liked me back as well. I asked her out on a "real date date" after this "meet first outing". We tried scheduling a date and time for next week. But it was really hard and nearly impossible because of her work as a model.

She said she work with a company that assigns her work daily. Usually finish work around 5pm but can work later and even crazy hours like from 3-5 am or something. Work is important. I respected her dreams and goals. But while we were on this topic, she explain more about her job and I got more and more confused. What she basically described to me was that she work as some kind of compensated dating model. Where men select dates for them to go out and do anything and everything that is agreed upon or before meeting up. And she said she doesn't do sex. Or anything sexual. It's always just dates and stuff. The men pay for everything. And she basically decides what to do really.

Which got me to think, isn't that what she's doing to me now? I pay for everything. That's how I was raised. I open doors for female, ladies first this and that. Be a gentleman etc etc etc. the only difference here is that I didn't meet her through that particular company. I decide what to do. If we wanted. We could very well have sex or some kind of sexual instances. I just feel a bit uncomfortable because in my head from time to time I am imagining her and the guy that just walked by or that guy sitting at Starbucks going out holding hands or kissing even if after she and I got together and be exclusive or something. Because that's her job. Maybe I'm thinking too much into the future but it's bothering me. I'm a Pisces. And a bit of OCD on my ways. (First paragraph) I met her. I like her. She likes me. I want to continue. And I don't want to stop because of what's on my mind. But I also cannot stop thinking about it and it's really messing with my sleep now.

Now the question that I have in mind is that. Is the way I'm thinking healthy? Everyone has their way of a job. And I should just accept what she does or just don't go out with her anymore. Or what do you think I should do? I don't really know what the question I have is. I just wanted to say everything on my mind and hope someone can help me with this. I wish I can get replies, I want to think about every potential option.

Edit. Is something like this even legal? I think it might be since she did say she work for a certain company and stuff.

AITA for paying R Kelly's "Bump and Grind" as a total joke when I was hooking up with a Tinder date?

u/HuMuFuWu

ill try to keep this short as possible. I matched with a girl on tinder earlier this week, we agreed to go out last night.
She was incredible, not only is she "girl next door" hot, she's wicked smart and was honestly one of the funniest and wittiest people I've ever met. I mean I had such an amazing time and we clicked so well that if she would have said "let's run off to Vegas and get married" part of my brain would been like "maybe this can work..."
So we ended up back at my place and she said she wanted to be clear that she wasn't ready for sex yet. I told her that was totally fine and there was no pressure at all. We sort of went between making out, watching stranger things and joking/talking. When one episode ended she started kissing me again and went down and was sort of kissing my member on top of my pants. I decided it would be hilarious time to play "bump and grind."
The mood instantly changed and she said "wow you think I want to hear a kid toucher's awful music as I'm trying to decide if I like you enough to put your duck in my mouth?" I told her it was honestly a joke and I've always thought R Kelly was stupid and it was more in line of how much I knew she loved Dave Chappelle show. She asked if I was planning on peeing on her next. I said I was really sorry and it was honestly a joke.
She said she wanted me to take her home so I did. When we got there she said somthing along the lines of "look I really like you but I have a past where I can't laugh at certain things, give me some time and I'd like to see you again." And she gave me a hug and left.
So obviously I can assume what she means about her past and what I did was very stupid...but was I an rear end in a top hat for it?

Regardless, daughter doesn't deserve the money because she was too loving obvious about it. You've gotta play the long game with these things.

AITA for cutting my friend out of my life upon hearing his intention to marry a homophobic woman?

quote:

Throwaway for paranoia reasons.

Ryan and I have been friends for about seven years now. We don’t live near each other anymore but talk daily. A little over a year ago, he began dating an extremely conservative Catholic girl (Katie), which is odd to me considering we had both been fairly vocal atheists the entire time we have known each other. When they first started dating, he made mention about how Katie expressed views along the lines of “gays are sinners/unnatural” in a non-hateful way but in a “that’s what the church believes” way (which is still hateful in my opinion. However over the months, Ryan has claimed that her views have changed since she had never really been exposed to gay people before but had been in meeting some of his social circle.

About a month ago, I met Katie for the first time in a group vacation setting. She was perfectly polite, but made multiple comments that confirmed my suspicions that she hasn’t changed her views as much as he might have believed.

About a week ago, Ryan asked how I felt about meeting her and that he was glad that it went so well. I was honest with him and said that I was glad that he is happy, but that as a gay man I find some of her views personally offensive as well as some of her other views just generally offensive. I also told him that I felt hurt and disrespected by him that he would even consider dating somebody who held these opinions and that by doing so, he was basically telling me and her that these views are acceptable in his life.

One thing led to another, and he told me that he plans to propose to her within the next couple of months. I told him that if he were to propose to her, I would not be a part of either of their lives anymore. I made it clear that this was not an ultimatum, but that if he does move forward with this relationship, I will take that as confirmation that he is okay with her views, which is not okay with me.

Only a few mutual friends know, as the engagement aspect makes the fallout fairly hush hush, but the opinion so far has been pretty split with some people understanding my point of view but others claiming that I’m the rear end in a top hat for “throwing away” a long term friendship over personal belief differences.

Another few posts by Fight Man lately.

How is Judo for self defense?

quote:

I’m a very skinny and weak guy but I have been wanting to learn some self defense lately. I’m about 5’10 and 107 pounds. I’m 20. No matter how much I eat I can’t gain anything and I don’t really go to the gym. Would judo be something to take up? If not judo then what?

I lose every fight I get into and I can’t take this anymore.

I’m going crazy.

quote:

I just got done getting my rear end beat. Today I attacked someone just because I did not like the way that they were looking at me.

I keep getting into fights. It’s insane. I’m going to end up dead. Today I was walking around outside this mall area because I wanted frozen yogurt and the best place in town is there. My face and body are all bruised and stuff and some guy was looking at me while I was walking with a weird look. I was instantly angry. I walked up to him and screamed in his face and told him to stop looking at me. He pushed me back and told me to get out of his face and to relax and tried to claim he wasn’t even looking at me.

So I grabbed him and pushed him against the wall. I hit him in the face and then he swung back and I fell backwards. He then tried to run and I chased him and tackled him and got on top of him. He punched me again and I fell to the side. He told me he didn’t want to fight me and then I grabbed his throat and then he grabbed my arm and we were kinda grappling each other. He then slammed me into the ground and finally someone pulled us apart. They said they were calling the police so I ran.

I don’t know why I keep getting into fights. I don’t know why I keep drinking everyday. I don’t know why I keep trying insane drugs. I don’t know. I don’t know what to do anymore.

One year ago today.

quote:

One year ago today my girlfriend of 3 years at the time and I went out for some dinner and then headed to the party where she fell for another guy. We talked about our future that day. We talked about marriage and the excitement of the upcoming baby. I thought that in a year my life would be so cool. But it isn’t. Because she’s gone. I still miss her and love her. I wish I had her back even though she did terrible things after our split. She is in jail for a very long time and I keep thinking about going and visiting her. Today I am very sad because one year ago today my life changed forever.

Someone in the comments said he'll meet him and let himself get beat up just so he can say he finally won a fight.

Assuming he's real, absolutely. He was already a dickhead but if he's at the point of attacking random people on the street for looking at him funny (because he's walking around covered in bruises and bleeding cuts from getting into a fistfight every day) then he's definitely going insane.

Just if he's really drinking all the time and doing a bunch of random drugs afaik it's pretty hard to tell if his brain chemistry is temporarily out of whack from that or if he's got physical damage underlying it. It's kinda chicken and egg because inhibited impulse control, surprise surprise, leads to a lot of addiction issues.

People don't actually cut contact with their rich parents for no reason; the fact that the OP doesn't even provide a scapegoat reason for becoming estranged suggests the parents themselves were the cause but are unable to acknowledge that. "We were never abusive to her" is entitled boomer speak for "we never physically abusive to her". "She never gave us a reason" (from the comments) means that there was a lifetime of reasons.

My bet is that this story about starting funds for each child is a complete fabrication. Giving a big sack of money to the 2nd oldest was a deliberate attempt to manipulate the oldest into contacting them again. And it worked; they were successfully able to get in one last snub. "Just look at all of the riches you could have had if you would only let us continue abusing you." If oldest daughter had stuck around, 2nd oldest probably wouldn't have gotten a dime.

e: OP's name is feelshitty999. They made a validation post, basically. They know that they caused the estrangement of their oldest daughter and want strangers to make them feel better about that, they just haven't found RejectedParents yet

It's mostly an ESL thing, I think, but also a cultural attitude about trying to understand dating. I knew a Taiwanese-born guy who talks [especially about women] exactly like this. I've also noticed some Spanish speakers write with overly short sentences like that.

edit: yep found a post he made about being DACA so there's, let's say, about a 95% chance he was born in Latin America and about a 2% chance he was born in East Asia

Nobles gentrified the barber-surgeon profession once they decided that doing surgery wasn’t beneath them.

They appropriated the white lab coat from scientists to steal their valor too

Objection! I object! That was... objectionable!

Me [26M] with my girlfriend [24F] of 3 years, had a fight following disappointing birthday venue

quote:

Hello!

I [26M] planned a buffet lunch at a top tier hotel for my girlfriend [24F] to celebrate her 24th birthday today, but upon arrival at the venue, she lamented that "I have been here before, and I expected you to bring me to somewhere different. I thought I told you I have been here and did not like the food here. You ought to have remembered that." Shortly after, she pouted the entire hour we were there, gave me the silent treatment and refused to eat anything from the place.

In response, I retorted "They change the food and menu each week, why would the food you had then be bad and still be bad consistently? This place receives top rating consistently, and perhaps you could not let this ruin the celebration." After an hour, she still continued to give the silent treatment and I added "It seems as though you sabotage your own birthday celebration by coming in with your stereotype. The food is great, the ambience is excellent and the service staff are anything but spectacular over the past hour. Your memory of the place is completely unfair, and it isn't close to what you remember it to be. Could you perhaps share what's the real issue here?"

Towards the end of the day, she texted me "I propose we should break up. You do not treat me as nice anymore. The past 2 years you booked a room at a nice hotel with a great view, bought me flowers and brought me to a nice place, but this year you did not. It seems that each year you're cheapening out on me, and do not pamper me the same anymore."

We started working 2 years back and managed to pay off our student loans just last year. We were initially thinking of getting a place together in the next 2-3 years and had the goal to set aside the down-payment for it by the end of 2017. However, she seems to think that "the occasional few hundred dollars more spent to indulge ourselves won't change anything or our future quality of life much." Also, when we first started dating, she mentioned that "I typically do not celebrate my birthdays, and they don't mean much to me.". But ever since I did something different for her in the last 2 years, apparently that perception has changed and I've set the bar this high that I have to beat myself each year.

I have been brought up in a family to value prudence which places importance on planning for the future and to be discipline and to not spend more than required to maintain a decent quality of life. Whereas, my girlfriend seems to have a different value system for money and prefers to live in the moment without considerations of how she would retire or eventually afford our own place.

We have fought about the issue on not spending enough on couple activities in the last 3 months, ever since we discussed about getting a place together. Since then, I have tried to cut our expenses to have enough cash for the down-payment.

Was wondering what are your thoughts on the following:

1. Was my girlfriend reaction for my choice of the birthday venue reasonable? Was it my fault for forgetting she did not like the place in the first place, or did she over-react?

2. Have you dated someone whom values on money not align with yours, and if you're still in that relationship?

3. She seems to think we can magically raise the down-payment for the house we were planning to buy without cutting back on expenses, is she delusional or am I overly conservative in my planning?

4. She prefers living in the moment, and leaves all the planning for our future to me. However, when I have to make difficult choices such as deferring indulgence, she faults me for not caring about her. In spite of engaging her in conversation, what else can I do?

5. Would you have broken up with her if you were in my position?

TL:DR Girlfriend unhappy about venue for birthday celebration, proposed to break-up for not pampering her enough recently. She prefers to live in the moment and does not think about the future of our relationship.

Hey for your birthday how about I take you to that place you hate then gaslight you? What do you mean you want to break up?

more for the fact that he literally died screaming 'I've never felt such pain, but I'm most troubled that none of my doctors can relieve me' due to misdiagnosed gangrene that they had to admit would have been solved by surgery, but the fistula was the start of surgery being accepted by the noble class, to the point when noble court types literally faked rear end craters to get it like the king.

so he took her to a place she disliked (not even as a group thing it sounds like, he could have just taken her another place), weirdly tried to lie and say 'actually this is all good and you're just lying because you're mad' and is surprised she feels like he doesn't show her the caring he used to

why does this person whose opinions I dismiss with contempt claim I don’t care about her? She must have different financial values than I
