Like, by going through and reading this thread I am getting invested in unsolvable problems and dramas that aren't mine, exchanging jabs with others with just as little info as I... why... why.. why even post?

Willfrey posted:Lol 15 years old? Did he kill a guy? What deep dark secret could he have. She'd rather have an arguement wither her husband than clarify the supposedly inconsequential reason his son is sad? That's flipside. So if we accept this matter is some stupid 15 year old thing that is really important to the son but probably not a big deal, what's more important? That dad know some thing that his son doesn't want to share with him, or that mom respects the son's wishes even if it makes a grown man sad at the realization that for whatever reason his kid doesn't trust him with the info? It's true we don't have enough info to know if the reason for secrecy is really dad's fault or just the whim of a teenager, but it doesn't really change anything.

Apparently a bunch of lovely idiots piled into the thread where the 15-year-old didn't want to talk to his dad to call the wife a bad mom for not telling her husband every detail about everything and to yell about the "hivemind".

One of the advantages of having a spouse/partner is complete honesty. In those circumstances, the wife should probably tell the dad what's up, and he just pretends he doesn't know around the son. Though if he's enough of a dipshit that the son doesn't want to tell him and the wife is on the son's side, who knows. They certainly have more history to judge from.

"I don't want to tell you because it's not something you need to know and I want to keep our son's trust" is also honest.

Nah - 15 is old enough to have your own secrets and issues, and to be mature enough to decide which adults you share personal information with and which you don't. We expect kids to drive one year later, and they're able to vote, smoke, and go to war 3 years after that. If you're willing to send them to die in a few short years, you should be willing to let them choose who they confide in. If the kid didn't want to talk to Dad, there's a reason for it. Given how much Dad is flipping out just having A SECRET kept from him, there's probably a reason.

This, on the other hand, along with the general tone of the post, doesn't inspire much confidence he could deal with whatever information it is reasonably (that is, not letting on that he knows if it's not life or death).

If you're willing to send them to die in a few short years, you should be willing to let them choose who they confide in. Incredibly this. And geez goons, any time you're about to be told something in confidence, and you have a significant other that you always share info with, let the person with the secret know that it will be shared BEFORE they tell you said secret. Kinda lovely to be like "Oh yeah I won't tell a soul!" then rolling over and telling your spouse. You're allowed to keep secrets from your spouses and whatnot, it's not some terrible sin. Also an electric fence that can kill a cat is likely illegal and probably just plugged into a wall. I lived on a beefalo farm with an electric cattle fence, and while it as painful as hell it wouldn't kill a cat.

AITA because I babysat for a Reds fan and taught his kid "Go Cubs Go"quote:One of my best friends is an avid Reds fan (American baseball). They asked my wife and I to babysit their 2 year old. He is in the stage where he latches on to songs and begs the video to be played over and over. We thought it would be funny to teach him Go Cubs Go (team song for their big rival). Now he loves it and keeps asking them to play it and keeps singing it. Am I an rear end in a top hat?

It only takes like 50-100 mA to stop your heart, I'm assuming a cat would be similar e: okay heart stopping is higher amp's but 100mA can def stop your breathing and cause arrhythmia, and if the current causes your flexors to lock on the open circuit for a few seconds you could definitely die.

You tell someone this poo poo you’re working on has 1.21 gigawatts they probably are gonna be more careful than somebody running phone cable. Myself included I’ve snipped some cables that we didn’t want to bring somebody out to get properly removed and then accidentally brush the unshielded part of the cables to a nice shock because I’m a dumbass IT guy.

AITA for arguing with my wife over her preferring to sleep with a body pillow over me?quote:So my wife gave birth 8 months ago. During he pregnancy she was having trouble sleeping so I bought her a pregnancy body pillow that was a lot more comfortable for her. However even after giving birth she prefers sleeping with the body pillow rather than me. She just says she's used to it and finds it more comfortable to sleep with. Maybe I'm being just being dramatic but it feels like she just doesn't want to sleep with me. I'm often sleeping near the edge of the bed using a separate blanket and I just feel a lot more lonely. Not the body pillow story i was expecting

AITA for calling out my father's other woman in front of her son and class?quote:I (17F) caught my father cheating on my mother a few months ago. He left his iPad in the living room and it kept dinging. I went to turn it off because it was irritating, and saw tons of messages from a very familiar name, all extremely romantic in nature. Who is this person, you may ask? She's a math teacher at my school, Ms. L. My father works in the IT department for my school district, and as far as I had been aware they were just friendly coworkers. Clearly I was wrong.

My (26M) wife (26F) doesn't allow meat in her house due to religious reasonsquote:So we have known each other since we were 20 and everything about us has been great. We decided to get some financial and career stability and then marry. To save money we both lived in our respective parent's households until we marry. We recently got married and my wife, since she comes from an affluent family, was gifted a house to her by her parents as a wedding gift. (Keep in mind her parents do not approve of me but they still followed through with the wedding gift). We are both Hindus, however I come from a linient Hindu family where we eat meat, and she comes from a very strict and religious Hindu family where they are all vegetarian. (We're in Canada and this was love marriage not arranged btw). After marriage we move into the house that was given to her (this is our first time living together) and so problems arise. I like to eat meat, I've been eating it my whole life, but she is very strict about it and forbids meat from coming in the house. Reasons being "it's my house I can make the rules" and "I've never touched or been near meat and never will be". Now I don't know how to feel about this, because technically yeah it's her house she was gifted it, but I also feel like I'm being restricted, because I like to cook food, and so every time I want to enjoy meat now I'm forced to buy from outside and eat outside or in the car. I can't even have my parents come over to cook for them any meat. I don't think I should be restricted like this considering we are literally married but somehow it reminiscent of living with my parents again. Should I stand up and bring meat and force her to accept my dietary habits? Should I adjust to her beliefs and avoid meat in the house? How can we come to a compromise? quote:We literally moved in a day ago, and the issue came up when we went to get groceries. She has been around meat alot, like when we're eating together or when she's come over to my parents house and I ate meat, so this came as a shock to me. She's cooked at my house before and we've eaten together many times, but it was always Vegetarian food and I had respected that. Now that I want to be able to cook my own food in her house this starts becoming an issue
