Formatting OP's AITA for telling my sister a "wedding tattoo" is a curse (even though I have one), and now the curse is coming true? quote:My partner and I are in our 30s and we live in a country where gay marriage is illegal. We got engaged years ago knowing we wouldn't be able to marry, but we set a "wedding" date and had a party for friends and family. Instead of an actual ceremony, we got matching tattoos. We had been together 7 years when that happened, and it's been another 6 years since then.

AITA? Had a bad date where she walked out on me Hi Reddit, I (38m) recently had a horrible date with a girl (37f). The backstory is, we actually went on a date from a dating site 4 years ago. I drove an hour to meet at a place closer to her. It didn't go well. The reason cited at the time was distance as I was an hours' drive away and she only wanted something "5 minutes away or so". She also seemed to hint I wasn't at her "level" of success, though we both wanted something long term. For background, she's got a PhD and has a successful career. I had a masters, but was still relatively early in starting up my career. Fast forward to present day, and lo and behold, we match again on a different app. Only this time, I've moved for a new (significantly better) job and am about 5 minutes from her neighborhood she's stayed in for the past 4 years. The first red flag was she had NO recollection that we had gone out before. How many different people have you dated if you don't remember ever meeting up with me? Anyway, we chat on the app and find she's super stressed and burned out all the time at work. Her dating life hasn't been going well as she's still on these apps 4 years later. In the same neighborhood. I offer to meet up with her again. I'll also admit she's very pretty. We meet at a bar and go over what's been going on. She still doesn't remember me, but talks about her most recent ex from a couple months ago. The guy didn't want anything long term, requested an "open relationship" from the beginning when they started dating, lived very far away, was emotionally unavailable (her words), her friends hated him, and they dated like this for 12 months. In my mind I'm thinking this just sounds like an extended booty call, but keep silent. She then mentions she has high expectations for a significant other, and won't compromise, which is her choice of course. This all sounded hypocritical given everything I'd learned about her and how our original first date 4 years ago went. When we originally met back then, I was "too far" away, and not at the proper success level. Now I find she's okay with doing an open relationship with someone who lives far away and doesn't want anything long term? On top of that, she mentions she wants to be married and have kids eventually. I mention that might be hard to find if you're not willing to compromise, and those guys who might meet her checklist criteria could be douchey as well (see her ex), and I could see her getting divorced if that happens. I didn't say this in a mean or lecturing sort of tone. She then flips and says she's gonna leave now, and immediately walks out. I sat there for a moment, finished my drink, picked up the tab, and left. I think about it and laugh a bit now given the absurdity of the entire situation. Was I an rear end in a top hat here? Or did I just dodge another bullet for the second time?

From r/childfree: "you can take the risk since you don't have kids" (donating a part of my liver) quote:Let´s see if I can keep this short and sweet. No, probably not. Wait, even the doctor is buying into the idea of "you don't have kids, therefore your life isn't worth all that much"? I'm not familiar with all the specific rules of medical ethics, but I'm pretty sure that that would generally be frowned upon. Same with encouraging someone (regardless of family status) to undergo a crazy high-risk surgery to donate an organ whose recipient couldn't be trusted to take care of it.

My vasectomy consultation took place the same day as the procedure and was literally the doctor saying "You're 33 and have one kid. You're good with one?" and I said yes and then had the procedure done. I can't imagine the levels of pissed off I'd be if I needed to get my tubes tied and I had to deal with douchebags like you have. They don't even have the decency to at least make it about the risks of surgery. Instead they treat you like don't really know what you want at best or chattel at worst. "Get your husband's permission" my rear end! Holy poo poo.

People are even weird about vasectomies sometimes. A friend of mine recently got one and the first two doctors he went to flatly refused to do it because he didn’t have kids. I think the third one only did it after he brought his wife with him and she said “Yes, I know he’s doing this and I’m okay with it”

A lot of doctors are huge assholes. Was a derail a while back about how a lot of women find it nearly impossible to get the doctor to actually look at their health problems without insisting that they must be pregnant. Example was coming in with a broken toe and the doctor insisted she must be pregnant.

Example was coming in with a broken toe and the doctor insisted she must be pregnant. A lot of doctors are the same as a car salesman. They won't even talk directly to the woman and will insist she needs to clear it with her husband before purchasing. Ive seen reddit posts that banks, lenders, mortgages as well always ask the man assuming he is in charge of the finances regardless of any details. Can't say its unexpected but aside from lovely attitudes about gender it does seem weird to push a family member to donate an organ with the literal reason "if you die at least children arent traumatised"

I'm not sure if it's still the case, but about the only good thing to come out of r/childfree is that they had a post (maybe in their wiki?) with a list of doctors that performed vasectomies/tubal ligations for people that normally get turned away by other doctors. Seems like a good resource to have around if you've made that decision for yourself and need to find a supportive medical professional.

My (31F) fiance (38M) doesn't want my ex (30M) to come to our wedding!quote:One of my best friends is a gay male who was actually my neighbor in high school. We dated for 9 months at age 16/17 but since then, he's only dated men (he wasn't out of the closet in high school). We have remained close friends into adulthood. I don't take the fact that he was my "ex" seriously because it's been friendship for 95% of the time we've known each other. There are 0 feelings on either end. And we have both had major relationships since then including the one I'm in right now where I'm getting married next year! My fiance (38M) doesn't want to hang out with my ex or invite him to the wedding. He says the fact that we've slept together really bothers him, and I wouldn't like it if he invited an ex. Idk what to do I can't imagine my ex at my wedding. Fiance is willing to go along because it's important to me, but hates the idea and I don't want to do that. Btw, this is the FIRST time I've ever seen my fiance jealous. Help!

AITA for re-wearing underwear that my ex purchased for me? Simple one. I was clearing out some boxes of my stuff from my parents home last week and amongst my clothing, found a bag filled with very expensive Agent Provocateur lingerie. My ex was a big fan of seeing me in these so bought me many sets.I don't really wear expensive lingerie these days and usually go braless but decided to take them home with me to surprise my current boyfriend. I thought he would appreciate the novelty. After he got over the shock and of course, the inevitable happening, he asked me if I had spent all our savings on lingerie worth £1000 but was really angry to find out my ex bought me it and has asked me to get rid of it. He wants it gone. I don't want to. I look good in it and it's not like it reminds me of my ex. Am I the rear end in a top hat?

AITA for wanting to wear a "Just Divorced" sash out to a bar? I've been dating my (29F) boyfriend (30M) for over a year. We're both recently divorced, both previously married for about 7 years. Recently, my group of girlfriends said they wanted to take me out for drinks to celebrate my recent divorce. I loved the idea, and on our group chat, I sent a picture of a "Just Divorced" sash and tiara and told them that I should wear them to the bar. We all had a good laugh, but while I sent the picture to be funny, I was fully planning on doing it. A few days later, I was telling my boyfriend about the conversation and showing him the picture of the sash and tiara. He looked at me and said, "You know you can't do that, right?" I asked him what he meant, and he said, "If you wear that to a bar, guys will be trying to pick you up all night." He hates the idea of other guys hitting on me, especially when he's not there. I think wearing the sash and tiara would be something funny to do that would start a few laughs. I never had the intention of encouraging any flirting that might happen, and I'd never go home with anyone who wasn't my boyfriend. AITA for wanting to wear the sash?

America WIBTA if i didn't forgive my friend of 3 years for calling me names and pushing me to a paniac attack? So last night was the homecoming dance that my friend (I'll call her C) has been looking foward to for YEARS. She had spent so much time and money to make it absolutely perfect. I, personally, don't really care for it much since im not a big fan of dances and partys but she really wanted to go and i didn't want to let her go alone. Well we get there and when we are about to go in, teachers started to yell through megaphones to get into the building, literally screaming RUN RUN RUN! Well we get into the building and they arn't checking our tickets or id's, they close and lock all the doors and they arn't telling us what the hell is going on. So I naturally assume something really bad is happening like a big threat to the school with school shootings being a thing. Im shaking, tearing up and on the verge of a paniac attack. I start looking for exits just incase something bad happens when C saids "it's ok there are teachers at the door, we're fine" i looked at her like a crazy person and tried to explain that there is a possibility that we might die tonight and that if there was a shooter they probably would shoot the teachera too. She waves it off and calls me a "killjoy" for not wanting to just go dance and have fun and she straight up saids "we'll know if we hear screaming". Well now i feel like im in a different demention and one of my other friends (we'll call her L) saids there are litterally police cars outside of the school and that something bad really is happening. I run to the bathroom, barely able to breath at this point, sobbing, terrified. They follow after me with only L really concerned. L is trying to talk me down but at the same time C is still saying that im over reacting and that we're fine. I text my mom about 30,000 times and finally i call and she picks up the phone and i beg her to come get me. She got permission from the principle to come pick me up and i wait. C leaves the bathroom and L finally talks me down and gets me to open the stall door. I tell her I'm leaving and that she can come with me or stay but either way I'm gone. She saids she'll stay with C because she dosent want to leave her alone here. I leave and once i get home i FINALLY get to know some information. Apparently something happened at a burger king about a mile and a half down the rode so they issued a lockdown until it was resolved. That was all we heard from them. Today C texted saying that she was a bitch and that the way she acted was wrong and that shes really sorry. But i really don't know if i can forgive her. Everyone around me is saying that, even if it takes time, i should eventually forgive her. But with the way she treated me because she just wanted to party i really don't know if i can trust her anymore. So reddit, WIBTA for not forgiving my friend of 3 years because she pushed me to a paniac attack and only felt sorry after?
