AITA for writing an erotic fiction about me and this guy I have a secret crush on, them showing it to him? There's this guy from my high school, who I never really knew as such but we knew of each other. We weren't friends but occasionally were at the same parties and social circles together. Now we are both 22, and I developed a random crush on him from seeing his social media, and have had this crush for a year now. It's just something where I fantasise about him from time to time. I messaged him on Instagram to tell him this and he was kind of surprised by it all. For reasons I don't know myself, I told him about some erotic fiction I wrote about us, it was just something I did to get my feelings out by I didn't intend to show it to anyone. It was pretty graphic and I think he felt a bit creeped out by it (totally understable) and just asked me how long I had this crush/fantasy and said he didn't know what to say and just left it at that. I feel like a creep now that lacked self control, how much of an a-hole am I?

AITA For Not Wanting to Attend My Younger Brother's Wedding? Sorry if this possibly belongs in /relationshipadvice, but I'm genuinely concerned about making an rear end in a top hat move here and need some outside perspective to set me straight. My (29m) younger brother (21m) is getting married this December and I have no interest in attending. For context, we have no ongoing feud and never have had a "negative" relationship, just a rather absent one. I'm one of his two brothers, but our oldest brother has severe drug addiction problems, psychosis issues and has been excommunicated from the family for about 8 years, so long story short, I'm his only brother. I've been away from home (out of state) since I was 20 and have only seen him about once/year since that point, along with the rest of my family. We dont talk/text in any capacity, although I tried very hard to kindle communications with him a few months ago when I moved closer to home (5hr drive), but he didnt have interest. He started dating his first girlfriend 2 years ago and proposed at the beginning of 2019. Ive never met this girl and actually couldn't even tell you her name right now without checking Facebook. I only ever found out they were dating because my mother mentioned it and I only discovered they were engaged because of a Facebook post (and my mom text me). I received a wedding invitation earlier this month. As expected, I'm not a groomsman in the wedding. That's to be expected at this point, I suppose. Point being is that I'm not going to be ruining what he has planned for the ceremony by not being there. Is it a dick move that I just told my mother I won't be driving down for the wedding?

AITA for leaving my tattoo appt and wanting my deposit back? A tattoo convention came to town for the weekend and I was short on money but wanted to try and get something anyway. I reached out to an artist I liked and ended up working out that we would do something within my budget. He’s a popular artist so I was excited to work together. I sent him a deposit through venmo to secure my spot for today. When I got to the convention today and met up with him, within the first couple minutes I was uncomfortable. He had the design ready which was great - I hadn’t decided on a placement and he pretty much decided in the first minute where he wanted to put it, slapped the stencil on my arm and there it was. He then proceeded to spend the next 20 minutes on the phone paying his car payment. I’m used to waiting 20-40 minutes every appt to get started. I thought after that we would get to work. Turns out I was wrong. We sat around for another 20 minutes while he waited on delivery food. Eventually, he turns to me and breaks out a small medical bag and says I hope you won’t judge me, but I’m going to roll a joint. At first I didn’t even think about it. I’ve smoked a lot of pot in my life (in the past, not currently) and my husband smokes daily. After a couple minutes, it sank in with me that he would be tattooing me while high. He got up to go smoke and told me to just walk around while he went to do that and eat his food. It was already 3:40ish and my appt was originally at 3. After talking to my partner for a few minutes about how I was uncomfortable, I resolved to leave without getting the tattoo. I waited around for awhile but by 4:20 he hadn’t come back to his booth so I left the convention and messaged him, explaining that I was uncomfortable being tattooed while he was stoned and had decided to leave. I was apologetic for wasting his time - even though it was definitely more the other way around. He messaged me back and was defensive saying he had a medical marijuana card and it’s his medicine, and he always smokes before tattooing people. I didn’t respond at all because it didn’t matter to me if it was his prescription - he was still high and going to put permanent artwork on my body. He finally messaged again and said he was frustrated because he was excited to do the tattoo. I told him I understood and that I totally respected his right to do what he wanted and there weren’t any hard feelings, and it was nice to meet him. I went on venmo and requested back my deposit - I’m pretty sure he is ignoring my request but I can’t say for certain. Normally I wouldn’t ask for it back if I canceled, but I feel like this is a weird situation and he never told me it was non-refundable. Despite all this I still somehow feel guilty for leaving him and expecting my money back - AITA? TL;DR: went to a convention to get tattooed. Guy put off starting my appt for well over an hour and got high right before he was going to tattoo me. I left and let him know online why and I requested my deposit back. AITA?

My (19F) boyfriend (33M) is slightly possessive and says weird things. Normally my boyfriend is the sweetest man, but I have noticed that he does have a very possessive side. For example, he is always asking who I am messaging (when it's almost always my family group chat or my childhood friend), he often will say things like "if you ever left me idk what I'd do.. I'd probably kill myself" or "if I ever caught you cheating I'd kill you, the guy and then myself because I'd deserve it for killing you." (I know I'd never cheat on him, but it is still a little daunting to hear someone say something like that). He has stated how he doesn't like me going out without him, and so we always go places together. The only times I go out alone is usually to my parents or grandparents for a visit. He also doesn't like that my childhood friend and only friend is a male and so when we hang out whenever he is in town my boyfriend has to be there with us and he gets slightly annoyed when we message each other. To me, I understand it becauze he has been cheated on many times in other relationships but it is also slightly annoying for me to have to constantly tell him I'm not gonna cheat because I love HIM not my friend. When I lived in an apartment before moving in with him I had a neighbor that would hit on me and try to invite me out all the time... and I told my bf about it because I didnt want him to think anything was going on and that it was one sided and to not worry about it. However, he got MAD, so mad that I had to do everything in my power to stop him from hurting my neighbor & eventually I moved in with my bf a month or so later. He is like this when guys show affection towards me, or message me asking to chill, even when I don't give them the time of day. TL;DR: My(19F) boyfriend (33M) is possessive/controlling and says things like how he'd kill me if I cheated or he'd probably kill himself if I left and idk what to think of it.

I love this AITA for throwing a bunch of disgusting garbage into a stranger's car through their open window? So the other day I was walking my dog in the park when I saw this dude pull into the parking lot, roll down his window, and start dumping trash out of it. McDonalds cups and wrappers, empty cigarette boxes, soda cans and bottles, handfuls of cigarette butts, etc. The guy proceeded to get out of his car, step over the trash pile he'd just created, and then pulled a skateboard out of the backseat and walked away, presumably to the skate park. I happened to notice that he'd left his window open, so as soon as he was out of sight I went over and picked up all of his garbage and threw it back into the car, right onto the driver's seat. The park was pretty empty so nobody saw him dumping the trash or me putting it back in his car. I left shortly after, so I don't know what happened when he saw what I'd done, but I've told some friends about it and gotten pretty mixed reactions. Some people thought it was awesome that I threw his trash back in his car, while some people think I was a huge dick and should have just minded my own business (or at least thrown it into a trashcan instead of the dude's car). I feel like I was in the right, because it's a much bigger rear end in a top hat move to dump all your garbage on the ground, especially in a freaking park where people bring their kids and pets. So reddit, tell me: AITA? There was a trashcan nearby, so I could have thrown it all away, but honestly I wanted the guy to get a taste of his own medicine and understand how lovely it is to litter like that.

This was a good thing to do, and gently caress the littering guy, but there is zero chance he'll "understand how lovely it is" or achieve the slightest enlightenment. What will happen is that he'll throw it farther from the window next time

We were referred to by all our friends as "that" power couple. It was the best thing to ever happen to me. We had been friends for about a year before we dated and we knew eachother well. Both respected our independence and our relationship the same. D was so smart, beautiful and most physically attractive woman ive ever seen. Everything was an attractant.

Randler posted:The hell is a "twin flame"? Is that from some bad YA book or anime? This is from forever ago but I am slowly catching up and this post(along with a few others regarding the twin flame topic) made me choke on my coffee as I read it. No lie, this one chick I was locked up with kept pacing the rec yard in jail, yelling "Twin flame!" as she circled the small area. The women's rec was on the 4th floor of the jail, and the men were above on the 5th. She was trying to call out to her boyfriend, apparently. She would even write "twin flames" on everything she owned. She even showed me a little story her boyfriend wrote called "twin flame" which was a fanfic of her and him going on a crime spree before being shot to death by the police. When I read the paper, I did a double take on her boyfriends name. I went to high school with the guy. Small world. Turns out, they were both locked up for stealing lawn mowers and selling them to secondhand small engine shops to get drug money. When I was sentenced and sent off to state prison, I saw her in the hall and she still had Twin Flames written on her jail uniform pants. Last I heard, they were going to a treatment facility to get clean and were awaiting a pick up date. If it weren't for the age difference, I would have been convinced by the writing style that she posted on reddit. That made my morning, lol.

The fact that the friend told all of her friends right off the bat without having approached her directly, which would have been a much better way of handling either an actual sexual assault or whatever that actual situation was, is a pretty good indicator that the friend is way more interested in spreading drama than in the OP's welfare.

Epstein’s “”””””suicide”””””” probably turned a lot of people on to batshit conspiracy theories by virtue of how suspicious it is. Maybe not like 9/11 but up there.

I've definitely witnessed people who had already been kind of into that feeling that their suspicions had been validated by the Epstein thing and ended up that much deeper in the rabbit hole. I mean, personally, it's like: yes, the Pizzagate thing is still batshit and doesn't have a shred of evidence to support it, but the existence of a child prostitution ring catering to the wealthy and powerful being pretty much indisputable puts these sorts of notions within the realm of possibility in a way that I previously wouldn't have acknowledged.
