AITA for having a classmate expelled?

A guy from my project group started sending me messages along the lines of ''hey sexy, studying hard tonight? ;)))'' and I wouldn't reply. He then went for a more aggressive approach and started insinuating sexual things when we would meet up for school. One time he brought a banana for lunch and asked me to show him my skills. I told him not to do that or else I would report him, so he stopped doing it in front of our classmates but continued harassing me over texts. If I posted a photo on Instagram he would slide in my DM's saying how he would ''love to have me for himself'' or one time when I posted my playlist that had a more graphic Beyonce song he told me he would ''gently caress me like a God to the tune of it.''

I then printed out 14 pages of screenshots and went to report him to the administration so they would assign him to another group.The administration brushed it off saying how he was joking and that they'll give him a warning. After receiving a warning, he texted me saying how I must like being chased and that he doesn't mind it. I told him to stop and he told me I can always leave the project group if I don't like him. And I would do that but I had put so much work into it and I wanted to stand my ground and be rewarded for MY work.

I was at a party in January when he came to me, intoxicated, and started saying some pretty explicit things about me and my body in front of everyone there. That brought me to tears because I felt so humiliated. I reported him again and the administration suggested that I switch places with someone from another group. I was pretty desperate at that point and I tried to do so, but everyone was already months deep into research and nobody wanted to switch. They did nothing about the party incident because it was off campus and it doesn't ''relate to the university.''

At this point, the guy was already blocked on my social media and I blocked his number. He was still able to contact me via e-mail and he kept harassing. I knew his e-mail and I payed my cousin to hack into his Facebook. He didn't want to do it at first but I explained the situation to him so he did it. I posted several extremely controversial things relating to current issues in Europe.

It took minutes before screenshots started circulating in the group chats I was a part of and by morning everyone had seen them. The guy made a statement saying his profile was hacked but when the administration started to dig deeper into his social media activity, they found some of his older posts (2013-2014) where he shows his support for Hitler. I reported him again and I added e-mail screenshots as well. Nobody believed that he was hacked because his post history completely ruined his credibility.

He was expelled from the university after several hearings and pressure from campus activist groups and I was given a warning for filing too many claims in a short period of time. AITA for doing this?

Ahaha gently caress that guy. She's definitely an rear end in a top hat but that's not a bad thing. Maybe if more creeps actually had consequences to their lovely behavior they would start hiding their creepiness and go back to masturbating to animal porn in the dark and avoiding women completely.

That’s like incredibly unhealthy holy poo poo.

A woman in my social circle miscarried at nine weeks, and she took it to an uncomfortable extreme.

Multiple Facebook posts a day about it, tombstone in the baby section of the cemetery, big effort posts on holidays/mothers day/her due date, starting a poorly written blog and telling everyone how she was writing a book about parental loss that was totally going to get published , getting a tattoo of a sleeping angel with one pink wing and one blue wing (since it had been too early to determine sex). She also got into fostering multiple dogs at once, at one point I think there were seven.

Just about everyone I knew unfollowed her on social media because that was the. only. thing. she talked about anymore.

She finally got pregnant again and carried it to term (thank God). I saw the baby once, and she had on a onesie that said 'My Big Sibling Is an Angel in Heaven' and she refers to her daughter as her 'youngest'.

It was creepy and heartbreaking and weird; but she refused to see a therapist for any of it.

Public coffee shop wants us to change WiFi password, are we actually obligated to do so?


quote:

So my roommates and I are college students in Indiana and last year we thought it would be funny to name our WiFi after a coffee shop that is located underneath our apartment.

Our WiFi’s name is “Coffee Shop Public WiFi.” We have had the same WiFi name for over a year with no issue but yesterday we received a message from the apartment leasing office saying that we need to change our WiFi name to one that doesn’t include the coffee shop’s name.

Apparently they will be going door to door checking everyone’s routers if it isn’t changed by tomorrow morning. After receiving this email we changed our WiFi name to “cOfFeE ShOp pUbLiC wIFi.” Do we have any actual obligation to change the WiFi name? In our lease Internet is not covered by the apartment leasing company.

Edit: Title should say “WiFi name,” not “WiFi Password.”

I (32f) am so baffled by his (39m) strange behavior in needing a "muse" to do.....well, anything.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years. He does suffer from issues (ex: anxiety and ADHD) for which he is medicated.

​He relies on my presence heavily in order to do anything. We don't live together but I live close to him. We both work from home, so there is a lot of flexibility. I'm freelance, so I can really work anywhere. Here are my main issues with him:

​He tells me all the time he NEEDS a "muse" to "inspire" him. This is for anything work-related. I mean anything from building a deck to doing taxes. Apparently I am this muse. It's not enough if I am there with him to get him started. If I leave, he just basically stops working.

He acts like he needs to be led by me. Which is insane. Because I cannot lead him. So he will ask me to be with him while he does some renos. I say ok, and show up. I'm happy to hand him nails or hand him a hammer or help him hold stuff/measure something. But I don't know anything about this stuff (and he knows it).
He will ask me weird things like "what do you want me to do now? You want me to wire this?" I honestly don't know what he's supposed to do (I hope he does!) and I don't really care. I'll say "um, sure?" and that makes him happy, and he goes ahead and wires it.

​I know it doesn't sound like a big deal. But it's just....weird. The whole concept of needing a "muse" to be productive (and one time he was using a female co-worker as his muse at work....whatever that means), and acting like I'm supposed to be telling him what to do as he's working is strange. Is this a thing? Have I been hiding under a rock???



TLDR: BF CAN'T WORK WITHOUT MY PRESENCE AS HIS MUSE, AND ALSO SEEMS TO WANT ME TO PRETEND TO LEAD HIM DURING WORK. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS??

My (30F) boyfriend's (40F) daughter (12F) has him wrapped around her finger.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years, and he recently introduced me to his daughter. I always knew he had a daughter, and I figured they would be pretty close as it's just been the two of them for the last 10 years (his ex wife left 10 years ago). But I had no idea the extent.

​I've been to their house a few times now, and every time I've gone, she has done absolutely no type of chores. My boyfriend will slave over dinner, only for her to complain that she doesn't like it, and then he'll let her go eat a smoothie or something. Then, she won't help clear the table or do the dishes at all. Sometimes, he'll ask her to clear the table of her stuff before dinner, and she'll say she'll get to it, only to never get to it, and he'll have to do it for her. I asked my boyfriend why he's doing her chores for her, and he claims that he doesn't always do it, that she's really busy with other things and it's a one time thing, but it's not a one time thing, it's happened every time I've been there.

​On top of not doing chores, she doesn't know how to accept the word no. She will ask if she can go to the neighbors' house, he'll say not right now as we are about to eat, or he wants her to finish her chores (which he ends up doing) or her homework, and she'll just keep asking over and over again until he just says yes.

​And on top of this, I'm pretty sure she has decided that she hates me. She refuses to ever make eye contact with me, talk to me, or even acknowledge that I'm there. Every once in a while, my boyfriend will ask her to talk to me, and she'll roll her eyes, and then maybe give one word answers. Plus, I feel like I've seen my boyfriend a whole lot less since I've met his daughter. He always has last minute excuses to cancel on me, and they always involve his daughter, like her being sick, her having a school thing, or they made plans just the two of them. He did make these kinds of excuses before I met her, and I totally understood them, but it's gotten to be a lot lately.

​I really don't know how I feel. I know that when I started dating a single dad, I also started dating his daughter, but I don't understand why she hates me so much and I don't know what to do about it, and I feel that the fact that she knows how to manipulate her father, he's always going to be taking her side and I'm always going to be second choice. I do love my boyfriend, and I want to continue dating, but I don't know if I can handle his daughter as well. Should we continue?

​TL;DR Recently met my boyfriend's daughter and I don't know if we can get along. Should I continue this relationship?

She absolutely should have gone to a lawyer before, and I feel no sympathy for expelled creep, but trying to follow up on anything now is playing with fire because no way was cousin careful enough in his master hacking that this won't be traced back if investigated well enough.

WIBTA if I bring my husband with me to a bachelorette party?

Long time lurker first time poster/mobile user. I guess from the title I sound like TA, but it’s kind of a weird situation. For some background, my husband and I are stationed in Oklahoma and my best friend is getting married in Colorado. We’ve been best friends since eighth grade and I was honored when she asked me to be her maid of honor. One of her newer friends is helping me plan the bachelorette party because I’m in a different state. When I come to Colorado, we drive and stay with my parents because they still live there. My husband and I graduated high school there, so we did have our main circle of friends. Unfortunately, all of my husband’s best friends moved out of state.

The bachelorette party is going to happen at an AirBnB an hour and a half away from my parents. They work 7-5 jobs all week and we only have the one car. I mentioned that my husband could be the DD for the party and my bestfriend and her friend helping plan said that would be fine because they know my husband. They were also cool with the DD job. Some of the girls in the party say it’s defeating the purpose of the bachelorette party to have my husband there. They also said that their boyfriends are uncomfortable, that if my husband is going, they are going to go too. I didn’t think it would make anyone uncomfortable, but I feel bad leaving my husband behind. He would be alone most of the time, without a car, almost two hours away. He wouldn’t be drinking with us, just sleeping in the AirBnB and driving us around. He doesn’t mind, neither does my bestfriend, or her other friend that is helping me plan the party. I’m conflicted and kinda feel like an rear end in a top hat if I bring him. So, WIBTA?

Edit: I guess I came off as attached to my husband. Of course, I do feel bad leaving him behind in a state that’s not our home with no one around and potentially not a car. He, however, wants nothing to do with the party. He just wants to make sure that we are being safe with driving. He would only be the DD and then stay away in a room on his video games/ homework while we were at the AirBnB.

Edit 2: Okay, I’m pretty sure I’m TA. I’ll take the L. I’ll talk to bride and see what she wants to do. Thanks!

Edit 3: I guess I misrepresented the situation. I accept my rear end in a top hat verdict. Thank you for the (somewhat) clarity. I talked to the bride about all the concerns and she would rather have my husband DD than pay for the Uber’s all night. We discussed it with the rest of the party and invited them to have their significant others DD as well so no one feels uncomfortable. It was made very clear that it is a girls night out and the men/DD’s are not welcome in the festivities, but we appreciate their help. Thanks Reddit!

I (25M) broke up with my girlfriend (25F) over looks, did I make a mistake?

quote:

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for about a year now, and last week I officially broke it off with her. Its been no contact for 1 week and I'm freaking out if I made a huge mistake cause I miss her so much.

She is a fantastic person, and we really clicked. I rarely feel like I click with someone so she was amazing to be around and made me so happy. My social skills arnt great and the thought of again trying to find another girlfriend terrifies me.

So the reason I broke it off with her is that I became less attracted to her. I've always had this feeling that I settled for her, and that I could do better if I actually had decent social skills. Being 25 she is still so young, yet she has extremely noticeable wrinkles on her forehead and around the eyes. I see older people in their 50s who have less wrinkles than her. Her skin is also very freckly. I feel horrible saying this cause these things are completely out of her control, being the genes her parents have past down to her. But makes me think if I were to have children with her, they'll have her skin.

In saying all of this, apart from those appearance flaws, she is an amazing person who was my best friend, and I feel like I just through away a perfect wife-material girlfriend. Should I just get over that fact she was noticeable wrinkles or is it right of my to let her go so she can be with someone who is headover heals about her looks and vice versa

Any advice and wisdom is appreciated. Thankyou.

tl;dr: broke up with girlfriend over her bad skin, now feel like an idiot for throwing away my best friend and potentially future wife

E: He previously broke up with her over her looks
