Pinecone Sample posted:AITA for continuing to use the phrase "Big Dick Energy" despite my boyfriend saying it makes him uncomfortable? lmao Obviously the correct answer here is to stop saying it because it's making your partner uncomfortable but at the same time lmao. The fact that there is nothing like "you're packing, don't worry" is the nail in the lmao coffin.

My wife's birthday is January 1st, I proposed on the summer solstice, and we got married on D-Day. And none of it matters because she never remembers any of those things.

AITA for kicking my gf of 6 years out of my house last night because of her behavior which resulted in my parents and younger brother being very uncomfortable and the night ended up with them leaving the dinner early? Recently me and my gf have been having some problems in our relationship and it all has to do with the way she dresses around the house and it has gotten too much for me to handle and it all came crashing down last night. Some background on the issue: my gf likes to stay in her bra and panties around the house which i had no issues with at first until she started doing it when my friends or her friends were around and it makes me super uncomfortable. I have spoken to her many times but all she says is that it's her body and that she'll dress the way she wants and that i need to be more comfortable and need to stop being jealous which isn't the point. I mean, would you guys be OK with your SO being the only one wearing a bra and pantie in front of your male friends? Now to last night: I was hosting dinner which included me, my gf, my parents and younger brother. Everything was going perfect until my gf decided it was too hot and changed into a sports bra and underwear and I loving lost it. My Dad had to intervene and asked my gf to dress like a proper woman, I lost it when she told my dad very rudely that she will dress how ever the gently caress she wants in her own house and I loving snapped. First of all it's my loving house where she only pays her own cell bill and that's it. I told her to pack her poo poo and to leave my house right away and that she was no longer welcomed here which confused her at first but she soon realized that i wasn't loving around. Felt really bad for my rents and brother, my parents apologized to me profusely especially my dad. He is blaming himself for what happened, he told me that he shouldn't have said anything and that he is sorry for messing with my relationship which I don't blame him one bit. As for the gf, got a lot of missed calls and messages not only from her but her friends and her mom too. I'm being blamed for not sticking up to my girlfriend and that according to her mom i'm not man enough to handle her daughter. Whatever the gently caress that means and of course i'm being called an assbole by pretty much everyone from her end, even few of my woman friends agree with her. I loved her, gave her everything and spoiled the heck out of her which is my own fault. I'm lost tbh, don't know if i really did the right thing but i'm more bummed about my Dad. Edit: grammar

Trapick posted:I don't put a lot of emphasis on it for personality or whatever, absolutely stories and stuff are more important. I just mean from a practical point of view, for filling out forms, identifying them, death certificates, etc. Just a weird bit of info not to know in my book. If you're often filling out forms that necessitate your parents' birthdates then yeah, that makes sense. But how often are you filling out forms (and lol death certificates) that need that information? I can't even remember the last time that I needed a birthdate for either of them; maybe when we were filling out the FAFSA?

As in some people think it's fine to not know the years their parents were born but do know the months and days (e.g. their birthdays).

The true alpha move would have been to wear a shirt with no bra, so that no one could tell her to cover up even though her nips are visible.

AITA for lying to my GF about working 6 days ( I work 5) so I can play videogames once per week? Ok so I have been lying for about 3 months now; to my girlfriend about working on Saturday so I can play video games all day; before I tried to explain to her how big part of my life video games are but she just does not understand; she comes everyday to my apartment after work ( schedule is 8 am to 5 pm ); she will come around 6 pm dressed like a princess and ready for me to have a plan for her night; movies; dinner; dance; ANYTHING that takes me out of my apartment/video-games; we settle down on 2 days out 5 at home but I won the battle because I bring out money to the table but to be honest I just wanted to be lazy at home; now on holidays I cant have this lie going on anymore at least till January; I am really stressed about this but I am sure the lie is saving the relationship. On her side she tells me a lot that she comes to my place to have my attention and when I play I just ignore her; she likes to talk a lot; her sex drive is way bigger than mine and after sex she wants me to stay there doing nothing for like and hour ( for me this feels like wasting time I could use; even tv is not allowed in this weird after sex time ) so I frequently try to avoid sex till late night so I can sleep after sex; I love her trust me on this I DO LOVE HER but she feels that I dont love her in the way she loves me ( for example she can just sit and look at me for hours without getting bored and I just cant I really need to be doing something ) Ending note; If AITA ill stop lying and have a confrontation with her about videogames ( again) If NTA Ill find a way to survive holidays and go back to 6 days work schedule per week on January

She's not wrong about that The answer to the subject line is a pretty clear "yes" but it's okay to try and set some boundaries because expecting to have a night out on the town literally every night sounds exhausting, and it sounds like she wants him to do all of the planning on top of that (albeit I doubt that's completely accurate). They clearly both want different things so maybe they should just break up

WIBTA if I told my mom that I don't want her walking me down the aisle at my upcoming wedding? I'll try to keep this short and sweet. When my boyfriend and I got engaged, we shared the news with my parents via a Skype call. After the initial excitement, my mom said, "Just so you know, your dad and I will BOTH be walking you down the aisle because we BOTH raised you." I didn't rebuttal in the moment, but I'm pretty bothered by the idea for a few reasons: 1.) I was looking forward to that special moment with just my dad. I feel like my dad being a great guy is a huge reason why I'm marrying a great guy, and that symbolism of him giving me away has a lot of meaning for me. I'm tearing up right now just thinking of it. 2.) Logistically, the bride typically has one arm linked with their dad, and the other holding a bouquet of flowers. In a scenario with my mom added, I am linking both my arms with them and have no flowers? Or I awkwardly try to hold flowers at the same time as having both arms linked? Or no touching at all and I just hold flowers? 3.) I didn't like that my mom just TOLD me she was doing this, and did not ask. One more tidbit of importance.... I've had a rocky relationship with my mom over the years, and been through therapy to get some understanding of why. In short, she was very critical and controlling when I was growing up, which has led to me being rather self-critical and people pleasing in my adult life. I know my mom had a really tough childhood and had to grow up very fast, so I don't blame her for being this way, she is just human. So, WBITA if I offer a new idea of my brother walking her down the aisle instead? Or am I making a mountain out of a mole hill and should just let it go? EDIT: Some people are under the impression that my mom is still as controlling and critical as she was when I was growing up. She has loosened up a lot since I moved out long ago, and is generally very kind to me. Also, we are already having a pretty non-traditional wedding as it is (non religious, writing our own vows, no garter or bouquet toss) so I don’t really have the excuse of tradition. I told my fiancé about this post, and he had a really good point after reading the comments. He said I’ll get to have the dad daughter dance with just my dad, so the aisle walk isn’t the only moment with my dad. And her desire to walk with me probably comes from a place of love, I’m just wired to assume it’s control based on everything from growing up. She’s been very thoughtful about her other requests, and respectful when I’ve said no to some other things. Thank you all for your replies. Honestly, with how much people were assuming my mom was awful, it made me realize she really isn’t the person she was anymore and walking down the aisle with me might be the olive branch we all need. This was cathartic, thank you all so much.

It would be different if she was cool with just being there with him and both sort of relaxing in their own way (e.g., she watches a show on TV while he shitposts on SA), but it doesn't sound like she'd be okay with anything less than being the center of his focus.

Does she not have a job? A career? Ambition? You need to and dump this exploitative monster. She is stealing your sexual labor and using it to enrich herself. You need to think of your own time as yours, not as hers. 8 hours for work, 8 hours for sleep, and 8 hours for yourself! If you do not quit this job -- and it is a job, no healthy relationship can include hours of idiot downtime like this -- she is going to grind you to dust, to nothing. Arise worker of the world and fight for your 8 hours.

AITA [NSFW] For not letting my Brother and SIL use my wooden box as a coffin? My brother and SIL were five months pregnant but day before yesterday at their prenatal appointment they learned the baby's heart had stopped beating and it had apparently been passed away for a couple weeks. Naturally they were devastated. My SIL had been feeling the baby moving and she was showing. I feel terrible for them. They've been married five years and put off having kids until they were done with their education and they got pregnant right away with this poor little lost baby. We're all kind of sad for them, this would have been the first of the grandkids. Here's the issue. I have this hand-carved wooden box. It's absolutely gorgeous. Lined in lush blue velvet. My great-great-great grandfather made it himself. He was a carpenter who built homes and furniture. This box survived two world wars, a Great Depression, three house-fires, two robberies, one bankruptcy, a turn of the Century or two, and about fifty or sixty greedy relatives. It's not worth more than a couple hundred dollars if that, but it's the sentimental value that I focus on. Here is a piece of my family history that has somehow survived. My brother called me up this afternoon and asked me if I would mind giving them the box. They want to use the box as a casket for their baby. My brother knows all about the box and he's confident the box is big enough to hold the tiny remains of the baby. Legally the box is mine. It was in possession of my Great Aunt Lizzie who left it to me, along with some of her jewelry. I loved my GA Lizzie, having lived with her for her last year of life taking care of her, and she was particularly fond of the box. She taught me a lot about our family history. I'm so sorry that my brother and his wife lost their baby but I don't want to give up this box to a fate of being buried under the ground, it just doesn't seem right to me. But my brother is upset and he lashed out, claiming I don't care about them or the baby they lost, and if I had a heart I'd give them the box for their baby. I know they're going through hard times right now and a lot of this is probably emotion. But now he's got my mother blowing up my phone telling me to give them the box and stop all this foolishness and meanness. AITA for not giving them the box for their baby?
