The company is an rear end in a top hat, dude shouldn't even have to be laying down ultimatums for the racist prick to be fired. One little thing that annoyed me about the OP though:

During that weekend she bought me an Overwatch calendar as a joke since I kept saying "I'm terrible with dates." (get it?)
That's not a joke, that's what calendars are for. If she'd bought you a box of dates, that would be a joke.

terrible with dates as in - acting like an awkward clown on a date with another person, not terrible with dates as in - forgets when it's thanksgiving.

That calendar thing he did was a really good idea but god, breaking up before it’s done and having to throw out a half-full one sounds grim.

Also his coworker sucks and deserves whatever punishment they get.

Family hired private detective to find me after I received a donated kidney.

quote:

I’m in the United States, however I’m nervous to disclose the state narrowing a search to find me. If unwarranted I can disclose the state.

I was the recipient of a kidney and I declined to ever know who gave it to me and I also noted that I didn’t want any kind of messages from the family. I appreciate the kidney but am not religious and believe everyone should be a donor and it shouldn’t be such a big deal.

Last year the family of the donor pretty much showed up at my doorstep.

They honestly aren’t doing anything that I would call “harassment” just occasional texts (I never gave them my number) inviting me to holidays and some emails with the mother really wanting to spend time with me because part of her daughter is inside me. I politely decline and reinstate my personal beliefs or ignore (depending on the day)

What I would like to know is if I have any legal recourse in how the private detective got this information. And I am curious if it is possible to force them to stop communicating with me.

AITA for wanting my wife to wear a ring?

My wife is very attractive and is in her late 20s. I'm still not sure how I managed to get her. She works as a medical rep and makes very good money. I was always certain that and does use her beauty to sell her products. Most people talking to her you can see do want to do things that she says just to please her. She gets free drinks at bars all the time. It is kinda weird

We went to a party together and one of the doctors that she sells to saw her over there work me. She introduced me and the doctor was really surprised she was married. That some weirded me out. I asked her why he would think that especially when she wears a massive ring as well. She then mentioned that she never wears a ring when she tries selling. This really annoyed me. Her reasoning was that she thinks that her sales dropped after she got married and started wearing a ring. I told her that the only reason that is true is if they think that by buying the products they can get in your pants. We got into bit of an argument. But right now we are both ignoring that we had a fight. So what do you think? AITA for wanting her to wear a ring?

Look dude, you've obviously cottoned on that your wife uses her looks to sell stuff. Not wearing her ring is part of her being perceived as desirable.

If the wife was actually going to cheat or whatever, her wearing a ring would stop/deflect about .001% of dudes anyways. So this is all about the perception, her wearing a ring would make 0 actual difference in the case of a cheating scenario.

THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SEIZED
by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation in accordance with a seizure warrant issued pursuant to 69 U.S.C Sec. 420
My gf (27f) told me (30m) last night she could be with any guy in her dance group if she wanted. Having trouble getting past it.

quote:

My gf is involved with this dance group that’s a huge part of her life. They meet up twice a week and have been involved for quite some time.

She was very upfront with me in the beginning and told me verbatim that I was going to hate the guys in the group because they’re all wild party dudes. When we first started dating a good deal of them were hitting her up on Snapchat.

Last night we were arguing and she let out that if she wanted to, she could sleep with any guy in her dance group, but is choosing to be with me.

As soon as she said it she backtracked and said she didn’t mean it that way.

To be 100% honest, even before last night I was pretty jealous about her dance group and was very up front with her and she understood.

However after last night I’m finding it impossible to get past her comment. I’m very uncomfortable knowing most guys in her group want to sleep with her and she’s dancing with them a couple times a week.

I don’t think I can continue this relationship after what she said, but would love some feedback if anyone’s gone though something like this.

TLDR: gf said something I can’t get past.




My (27f) Bf (30m) is uncomfortable with a dance group I’m in and now he broke up with me

quote:

So to start, I’m involved with a dance group in Philly in the Philadelphia Mummers Fancy Brigade. It’s been a tradition in the city for several years and we perform in front of judges. Guys and girls are together, we don’t dance together and no contact or anything sexual. My dad was involved for 30+ years and I followed his footsteps. We do fundraisers here and there to raise money for the club and charities, adopted a family for Christmas to help with gifts and clothes, help the homeless around the city, etc.

My boyfriend has been very insecure and jealous of me being involved with this, and this is more so of a hobby for me. I’ve been upfront from the very beginning. My boyfriend is not like the guys in the group.. they all like to party and are loud and obnoxious, I’m not like that and he’s not like that and I’ve told him he wouldn’t like them. But I wanted him to come around and I wanted to introduce him to everyone because I also grew up with everyone (my dad being involved, it’s basically a group of all family).

Fast forward to now. Last night we got into an argument where we both were very heated and were yelling. He kept saying things “I’m happy all these guys want to hook up with you. I hope you have fun” and he keeps saying they’re “wild crazy tatted good looking guys” and said that they “all used to hit me up on Snapchat”. He repeatedly said things like that over and over and over and it hurts and Ive told him that. The thing is... almost everyone in the group is either married, has kids and a family, in a long term relationship. And I’ve said that. He kept saying those things over and I couldn’t take it anymore because no matter what I said he wouldn’t listen. I said “if I really wanted to be with them I could but I’m not and don’t want to because I’m in love with you and want you”

I know saying what I said was completely wrong and unforgivable but I said it in a way directed towards him saying that I don’t want anyone else and never did and that I always want to be with him and love him. Ever since I said that, he got angry and broke up with me and hung up the phone. He’s also said the same thing to me about a month or two ago as well.

I know how he feels about the group and I’ve expressed so much that it’s only a hobby, a short amount of time (September- December) and that everyone in the club is family and I’ve grown up with them because of my dad. I’ve expressed several times I wanted him to come around and see what I do to be a little more comfortable but he never has.

I’m at a point where I don’t exactly know what else to do or say. I’ve expressed to him what I meant and that I apologized for what I said when we were angry but I know it’s not excuse and it’s unforgivable.

Is there any advice you guys can give in regards to this situation? How should we go about it? What should I do? What should I say?

TL;DR my bf doesn’t like a dance group I’m with and our fight last night broke us up.

I don't know, while he's within his rights to insist his wife wear her ring, it's not something I would personally care about. So she's fleecing horny dummies and killing it at work, and then comes home to me at the end of the day. Sounds like a win-win. I've never been bitten by the bug that causes possessive jealousy in 80% of straight men, though.

AITA for calling my gay coworker homophobic?

I (24M) work in a grocery store with Jane (21F). A few months ago she came out as gay. I am the only other openly gay person working there so she likes to talk to me quite a lot about gay issues and homophobia, etc, which she is very passionate about. I am not that bothered about these things (I think they are important but I don't like getting involved in politics and stuff), but I try to seem interested when she talks about them.

For the past week she has been trying to get me to come to a pride parade next month. I told her I'd think about it, but told her the next day that I'm not interested. I also suffer from anxiety so a big parade like that sounds awful to me. So now she has been annoying me for the past week about it, talking about it a lot at work, and then texting me after work again to ask again. I've told her no so many times but she keeps asking and trying to explain why I should and how important it is that I support gay pride. I told her to ask someone else to go with her, turns out she has 2 other friends going but wants me to come aswell so then "all the gay people I know will be there".

Today at work I snapped at her and asked her to stop harassing me about it. She then called me an rear end in a top hat and said I am not doing my part for gay people and that I should be ashamed for "supporting homophobia". I just wanted to shut her up at this point and said that the only reason she is harassing me over this is because I'm gay. "You are harassing me becuase I am gay. That is homophobic". Obviously I know she isn't homophobic but I just wanted her to stop annoying me about it.

AITA here?

Edit: I know my comment was dumb and she wasn't being homophobic. I just knew that saying that would get her to shut up and leave me alone. It's worked so far.

Family hired private detective to find me after I received a donated kidney.

when my partner had knee surgery years ago that involved use of donor tissue we were given a completely anonymous form which we could write a small note explaining how the surgery had improved her life (gave her the ability to walk again) and how grateful we were.

the hospital advised that they would match the form with the donor family and send our note to them, also completely anonymously. at no point should either party ever get information about each other unless they both explicitly want it.

tracking that link down should be impossible, full stop, especially by a third party. if a private detective was able to match a donor to a patient via communication with the hospital that's a big no no.
