This is such a minor thing, you can just say "I feel bad because of _____, is there a compromise we can reach?", and if your partner doesn't suck they'll recognize that your feelings are valid and real. But of course the kind of person who runs to Reddit to assess whether or not they're an rear end in a top hat probably doesn't communicate that well in person.

It blows my mind to think dad and mistress teacher thought that was a good idea. Teens drive their own to kill themselves. The gently caress did you think they were going to do to your sad mid-life crisis rear end.

I, like many of you, enjoy the open relationship self own stories. Anyone remember the one where the wife suggests to open the relationship and the husband reluctantly agrees. Shortly after the husband just starts railing through multiple trans partners, leaving the wife confused and speechless. Anyway, I've been catching up on the thread since I've been away. Here's content. My boyfriend [24 M] (1 1/2 years) gets anxious when trying new foods. I [24 F] want to help him, but want to make sure I'm not going to far. Would also like advice and tips. quote:My boyfriend (24M) gets very anxious when trying new foods or when eating foods he does not like. The only vegetable he likes is fried okra, and if we ever go to a friend's place for dinner, he needs to know what's on the menu to avoid "embarrassment". He gets really anxious when trying new/exotic foods in front of people, partly because when he does have new food he starts gagging.

He just sounds needy, people need their sleep and as much as I love cuddling I need some loving space to sleep.

AITA for changing my boyfriends shower gel to a more ‘masculine’ one? My boyfriend and I are both 28. We’ve been together for 3 years and he’s always been a smoker. Over the past 6 months he’s stopped smoking. This means obviously he smells completely different To how he used to and unfortunately the shower gel he uses is so strong that it’s all I can smell on him anymore. He doesn’t wear cologne much so it’s just this jarring plasticy sweet stench. Our bathroom smells of it and it makes me sick, but on his skin it amplifies and it smells like straight up cotton candy vomit. For anyone wondering what it isit’s a fairly cult product it’s called snow fairy by lush. He boards that poo poo because his mom used to buy it for him and it makes him feel like a kid. Apparently people go nuts over it. Like I say, the smell is so so strong and I haven’t got used to it. Yesterday I finally gave up and figured I’d leave a new shower product in there for him to try- just a generic axe one as I wasn’t sure how it would go down. I took his usual one and put it away into the drawer where all our doubles / back ups go. He came out the shower furious with me and told me I was loving with him and it wasn’t fair that I want him to smell differently etc. I was completely shocked and just said... dude... the shower gel was in the cabinet where you KNOW there are other ones of your favorite in there too so you wasn’t forced to use it you know? I left it in there in case you wanted to give it a whirl. I really feel like I didn’t nothing wrong, he feels like I’m pushing gender stereotypes on him, I just don’t want my bf to constantly smell of rotting sweet candy, that’s all!

AITA for being offended by a birthday present? I’ve been really good friends with this guy (call him Mark) for well over a year now. It’s at the point where are each other’s closest friend. We always discuss our interests and things we like, and we generally really enjoy each other’s company. For the his birthday, which was a few months ago, I made him a really nice home cooked meal, and got him several thoughtful presents related to his interests (namely animals and cartoons). My birthday was a few weeks ago, and just the other day, Mark got around to getting me a birthday present. Instead of something meaningful or related to my interests, he bought me a dildo. His reasoning was that because I’m gay, I should like it. That was the only present. He didn’t even act at all like it was a gag gift, and he was completely serious when I opened it. For added context, Mark is straight. I just can’t help but feel hurt. It feels like Mark doesn’t care about getting me something meaningful, and hasn’t been paying attention at all when I talked about things I enjoy. I think if he was listening even the slightest bit to me since we’ve known each other, he would have a decent idea of what he could get me. Simply put, I am hurt, because the gift was insulting, inappropriate, and clearly not meant as a joke. On the other hand, I can’t help but wonder if this gift was given in a nice way and I’m just ungrateful. AITA?

If he was smoking for so long I suspect he's gone a bit nose-dead (does that persist after stopping?) and doesn't realize how strong it is.

I went to a HS like that. My principal was caught cheating on his wife with not ONLY the head of the English department, but also a parent of a student. The principal came to my district after something similar happened in his previous one, apparently. This was all found out when the husband of the cheating wife hired a PI and it was quite messy. What sucks is that he was actually a decent principal and the poor student who had to contend with the principal loving his mom was insanely nice.

Definitely varies according to the folks involved. One of my classmates was in her mother's English class, and both I and another classmate had substitute teacher parents so we'd see them a few times a year. Small district in the middle of nowhere, you go with the scheduling that works.

My husband (27M) of 2 years has very strange ideas about preferences and I'm (21F) completely baffled. quote:Recently, my husband and I were lying in bed while on family vacation and, I don't remember what we were talking about, but he accused me of being lazy and weak because I go out of my way to try to be comfortable instead of welcoming suffering. He went on this long rant about how he was an Eagle scout, and one of the most important things they learned was to do something just because it needed to be done, without having to be asked.

Does he apologise when he is wrong? Does he take initiative when chores need to be done around the house? OP posted:Yes to everything except the last one. If someone needs done, he usually comes and tells me, and then I go do it. OP posted:We're not having kids until he agrees to help out in raising them. He likes children, but he hates babies. And when I asked him what he's going to do while the baby grows up, he said he was going to just foist the kid off on his dad until it's learned to walk and talk. And I shut him down and told him I'm not having a baby unless he's raising it WITH me. I'm 21 and married an older man that contributes literally nothing to this marriage what should I do? Also he wants kids but has already said he isn't going to put in any effort. I mean  with this one.

WIBTA for throwing a surprise wedding? It's been a few weeks since I found out my sister was stealing my wedding plans, so we have changed our plans. We have 2 plans, one is the original planned wedding but rescheduled. We have a second plan we're leaning towards but it may be a bit morally dubious. The second plan is the surprise wedding. We're having an engagement party at our place (29/10), that all of the key people we wanted to come have RSVPd to already, and they all said they'd be there. We made the dress code casual, so even if someone turned up in jeans and a t shirt they wouldn't look out of place. It would be fairly warm/light outside still and we could do a barbecue. We recently did up the garden, we have hired a marquee, and a solid (removable) dance floor to put on the grass, as all of these were elements of our engagement party to begin with. But we could turn it into a surprise backyard wedding with a few changes. We also have access to the flowers and party favours, we have suitable clothing, and a friend already offered us their photography skills for the engagement party. We aren't having a religious ceremony, one of our close friends who is coming will be officiating, and we have the marriage certificate ready whenever we want it. However, we want people to have a good time first and foremost. We know it's our day, but if people are upset/uncomfortable/generally miserable then it will be decidedly less fun. While we know the people who are coming, and we know they love us, we are still worried that if they thought they were coming to an engagement party and it turned into a wedding ceremony, this might not go over very well. We're worried that no matter how casual we set the dress code, people won't be thrilled to find out they're at a wedding in jeans and a t shirt, even though we wouldn't care, and there are certain things that people do before attending a wedding that they don't do for an engagement party. There's also the matter of us doing most things DIY, eg the barbecue with paper plates instead of a sit down meal, and the outdoor setting rather than indoors (although we'd open up the house for people who wanted to go inside everything would be going on in the garden). There's also the factor of kids, as several guests are parents and we wanted to invite them to the original wedding but were worried about the formality of it, while with this we could set up some lawn games and let the kids run around, which could be a good or bad thing depending on whether our guests like kids, which we think most of them do. We might be overthinking this, but feel the need to check. Would we be the arseholes for inviting guests to an engagement party and then turning it into a wedding with no warning? INFO: In regards to her "stealing the wedding plans" - She proposed to her boyfriend the day after we announced our engagement. She was my maid of honour so I let her in on all my plans. She bought an identical dress to mine (although mine is in cream while hers is in ivory) and she bought it after she helped me pick mine out. The flowers are white and rainbow roses, which is an inside joke my future wife and I have had since our first date and my sister and her future husband think they "look nice", and also chose this after we did. She also got the same venue as me, the same cake, the same centerpieces, the same colour scheme, the same caterer with the same menu and a few other things. We're twins and she loves pushing the twin thing, but I just want a bit more separation now we're older. We planned to get married mid December, so this would only be moving it up a couple months, and Sis is getting married mid November, so any later and it would clash with her wedding, but if we postponed our original wedding, we'd be talking pushing it back a year. It's not just to get married first, but if we can just have the flowers without looking like we're copying, then we'll be satisfied, because as her groom is homophobic, we feel that having our flowers after they had them would taint it.

AITA for coming into work grossly sick, and not avoiding spreading my germs, because I don't get sick days? I am a high schooler and i work for a family business. The father is the manager, with his wife the second in command. A lot of other family members, children, cousins, the parent's siblings work there too. Only me and another high school girl are not part of the family. And it's blatantly obvious were treated differently. If a family member is sick, the others will take their shifts and give them a free day off. Or even make me and the other girl who aren't in the family take their shift. But if she or i are sick, they won't swap shifts with us, they won't do anything to accommodate, their policy is that they don't do sick days, and that we can use our PTO if we really need it. But we only have 10 days PTO a year and generally have other plans for it. So me and the other girl have started not using our PTO when sick, but instead coming in and not trying to keep our germs to ourselves. I'd usually be really careful about what I touch, how I need to use lots of purell, how close I get to others, when I'm sick. But at work, I'll skip the purell, wipe my nose on my sleeves, touch stuff without caring, stand close to my manager to talk, etc. My friend from work does the same. Since we've been doing that, about 6 months ago, each time a cold has come around, it spreads like hell though the office instead of dying out. AITA for not trying to avoid getting the family I work for sick, because they don't give me and the other non-family employee sick leave? Edit - for those saying to speak up instead of being passive aggressive... Last person who did was fired. And he said his bit in a really polite respectful way too. Also, we don't work with food or with customers
