Charging SO full price for professional services My live in GF has a small construction business. For the past 20 months we have been together, she will ask for my advice on her business. Sometimes it is quick advice, sometimes it takes longer (write emails, etc). I have even been a laborer to her when she needed my help. I NEVER charged her. She offered to pay me when I was her laborer (she billed the customer for my time), but I always declined and just told her to get lunch. I do this because we are in a serious relationship and when she needs help, I want to help her because I care for her and we’re building a life together. Recently I bought a rental property and I asked her to do some of the construction work. I was overly flexible and made it super easy for her. I fully expected to pay, but I also expected a family discount, especially given how much I do for her at no charge. While discussing the project she uncomfortably started talking about having a hard time billing me because of our relationship. I told her I expected to pay for her expenses but assumed she was not going to be charging me a normal profit margin. She was a bit defensive, “that’s how I make a living, my time is valuable, I have relationships, etc.” so I brought up (for the first time) everything I have done for free for her over the past 20 months and said that’s what you do for a SO in a serious relationship. Frustrated and hurt, it ended up where I just told her to bill me as normal and from now on I’ll bill her for my time when she asks me for my time consulting/laboring, etc. I should be jumping for joy as I will no doubt come out ahead, but I’m not. I feel disappointment and a let down, and I definitely feel differently about committing to her long term. It feels weird to even talk about it. After all I have done for her, I expected her to view this as low hanging fruit to reciprocate, but she didn’t. I’m not sure how to move on from here. Am I being overly sensitive? Thanks in advance for your advice. TLDR GF is billing me full price for professional work despite the fact that I help her professionally, for free.

AITA for saying no to having my sister-in-law's twins, on my birthday, last minute. I will try and keep this short. 6 months ago my mum arranged for me and the family (me, partner, son, sister, brother-in-law and nephew) to travel up to a local castle and walk around their yearly festival of lights, happy days! Within the same month, her sisters (including the one with the twins) and their partners were trying to plan a date in the diary where we can all get together, go out for food and a few drinks. They chose to do this on my birthday, knowing we had plans already but you know what, I'm fine with that. Fast forward to today, the day before my birthday. Her sister has been let down with a babysitter and asked us to take the twins to the castle and have them overnight so they can go out... to which I straight up said no. I said no, not because I don't love the twins, but the principle behind it. I'm 32 and know my mum well enough to know that she will be upset. They knew we had plans and I honestly feel its unfair to ask us the night before and without being heartless, it's not my problem. Why should my partner have to drive a 200 mile round trip to pick them up and take them back also. Oh, did I forget to mention its my birthday evening and we were supposed to be drinking, playing games and we'll, you know! The twins are 5 months old and will obviously need her attention. My partner doesn't understand my refusal and thinks I'm unreasonable, causing a rift between us. AITA?

AITA for kicking my room mate out of my apartment because my girl friend cheated on me with him? So I've lived in my apartment with my room mate since December of last year. We weren't (And still aren't) really friends, but I never had a problem with him. Until yesterday, that is. Yesterday I found out that he and my gf had been in a secret relationship. One of my gf's friends that we hung out with sometimes told me, and that's how I found out. Me and her were chilling in my room in my apartment watching youtube and playing video games and she told me about how my gf had told her that she was breaking up with me soon, and that she'd already found a replacement. I decided not to freak out about it, at least at first, and after another hour or so she left. Then I went down and confronted my room mate. I told him to get out and that he could go live with his bitch, and I called her and told her that her boytoy was on his way. She keeps trying to call me and she sent me a couple texts calling me an rear end in a top hat. My room mate told a few of my friends that he has on his contact list that I had thrown him out for no reason. Now they're calling me and asking if it's true. I'm calling and texting people making sure they know the full story, but a few people that are friends with my room mate and gf are saying i'm an rear end, I should have handled it differently, I should have let her explain herself, etc etc. I honestly think I didn't do anything wrong, but I'm starting to question it. AITA? Edit: My gf (Ex now) admitted to cheating in a text. She asked to explain herself because it 'wasn't how it looked.' Edit 2: This is my reply to a comment. It gives some additional info. Here it is: "He isn't on the lease. I talked with my landlord and he said it was okay for him to live there, as long as I pay for any damage or damages done to the building that my room mate is responsible for, if he were to cause damage to the building, that is. I wrote up a contract. It was really simple. He gives he $100 every month to pay rent, and he can live there. (The rent is $350 a month.) It also said that I could kick him out at any time, if I so pleased, the only condition being that I had to give him a week minimum to get all his things out, and he didn't have to pay his share of that month's rent, if he hadn't already paid it." Edit 3: My gf had been acting weird not long before this, which made me suspicious already. I had a talk with her and we discussed loyalty and cheating. She seemed nervous during the talk, but I didn't want to jump to conclusions. My gf actually canceled on me once and it was the same night that my room mate went out. When I heard that she had cheated on me from a reliable source, I didn't question the validity of the claim. I didn't want to overshare information, because it's my personal life after all, but I see that it will probably help if I gave this information. So there.

Power Khan posted:Charging SO full price for professional services Something similar comes up from time to time in this thread and it's that professionals working for churches should always mark up their prices by 20% and then give a discount to their normal rate on top of that. Because they can always expect to be shorted and guilted into taking a lesser amount. I respect this woman for treating her boyfriend like a regular customer, but she should have had a markup and automatic discount just so they would feel like they were getting a deal.

Unless he is a lawyer he is absolutely full of poo poo. There's literally no amount of "professional help" he's offered if he's drafting emails for her and they aren't legally binding documents. Working for free as a laborer and refusing her money is one thing, but asking her to commit time and resources to a project she won't see a profit on is more then just "that's unfair" its costing her the chance to take on jobs at full rate and make money. He's the moron who refused to take money from her, probably some toxic masculinity thing, and now expected her to lose money and pay out of pocket as a favor to him. No surprise reddit is 100% backing the hardworking man as being exploited by a greedy shrew.

She should probably have paid him in some form for his labor, it sounds like he was consulting, doing clerical work, and sometimes construction labor--all of this is work. At the same time it's true that it's probably unfair of him to expect her to take a loss on a job for him.

Railing Kill posted:BF's family are dumb assholes, just """""""""""jokingly""""""""""" acting like small-minded bigots. But being holier-than-thou about being educated and from a city definitely doesn't help, even if it's true. I mean, NTA, but it's just a pet peeve of mine because it's a lazy put-down. Just call them bigots, regardless of their socioeconomic class or geography. It's ok. Dragging something up from before that geological event of a derail, but I gotta disagree hard with this. These aren't dirt-poor sharecroppers cowering in fear when that devil's rectangle what come from her pocket makes a janglin'. These are dishwater dull, middle-class whites in Suburbia in 2019, and it's never been easier to expand their horizons. There's no billy-club swinging beat cop patrolling Whispering Willow Trail and stopping every Brad and Chelsea from stepping foot into the real world. If they're monolingual, it's because they chose not to learn a second language. If they haven't learned anything about the world past the IKEA by the highway, it's because they chose not to try. If they're lovely to someone for being learned or cultured, they grew those sour grapes by their own free will. Dreaming Bough Estates is not their prison, and the HOA is not their jailor. They're just a willfully ignorant little lump of beige in their off-the-rack floorplan comfort zone, and tough poo poo if their son went off to college and brought home a reminder that the closest they've ever come to exploring other cultures is searching "big rear end Latinas" on Pornhub after a few Michelob Ultras. Just calling them bigots is what's lazy.

There's literally no amount of "professional help" he's offered if he's drafting emails for her and they aren't legally binding documents. I don't understand this argument. Are you saying only lawyers can bill for their time? And if you aren't a lawyer you should be expected to do admin work for free? If you tap your SO for their particular expertise and they fully bill you for every cent, I think it's time to separate. That says to me that she doesn't see this relationship lasting. There's no reason for me to profit off of my wife because we share money. i vomit kittens posted:The fact that he considers helping her write emails to be something he could be billing her for screams "actually unemployed."

I'm wondering if he's on unemployment benefits and getting paid by his gf would gently caress that up. It would make sense of the situation where she billed a client for his time but he refused the money. Also: is there a word for the excitement you feel to see two hundred new posts in a thread you follow, only to find it's one goon arguing something stupid and everyone else dumping on them for three or four pages? Guessing it would be something German.
