How the gently caress are there people on this planet that when they find out someone they know is having a kid that "oh my god, name them after me!!!!" pops into their minds?

As your homosexual superior I command you all to name your children after me and to raise your sons gay and strong. My failed parenting has nothing to do with this, it is your moral obligation to do so. I'm just telling you what you need to hear because nobody else is brave enough to say it.

I suggest a xmas greeting card

Pretty sure I just caught my husband whacking off to my sisters pictures???
I was taking a nap and my dogs briefly woke me up. I heard what I thought was my husband whacking off but didn't hear porn like usual, so I thought maybe my dog was licking something. But nah, I look up and see him scrolling through my sisters loving facebook pictures. It took my eyes a second to adjust and he looked over at me and said oh, and placed his phone down while I laid back down with the blanket over my face. He stopped, then after five minutes of awkward silence he tried kissing me and told me the time. Idfk what to do, he's just playing video games while I type this up, this happened maybe 15 minutes ago and I'm still trying to process this. I have to leave for work in an hour so I can clear my head then, but...wtf do I do??? What do I say to him???

WIBTA if I asked my partner to propose again?

I am 28 weeks pregnant with our first child and my boyfriend (now fiancé) proposed to me last night while we were out to dinner. Unfortunately, I was feeling a little queasy and considering running to the bathroom right before he did. I didn’t and I ended up throwing up on him in the middle of the restaurant mid proposal. He played it off well and I did say yes and he gave me the ring.

I know this is the kind of thing we’ll laugh about and tell our children about, but I also would like to have that happy romantic proposal experience, which I missed because of pregnancy sickness.

I would like to ask my fiancé to propose again. It doesn’t have to be anything big, I’d be happy if he just did his little speech on one knee in our apartment. I just want to have that happy memory without it being tainted by sickness and embarrassment. However, several of my friends told me it was selfish for me to ask him to go through that stress again and that I should just live with it and chalk it up as a funny story. WIBTA if I asked him to propose again?

Edit: I get it, I’m the rear end in a top hat, but I’m still going to tell him how I feel. Also, just to reiterate, I only want him to redo the speech so I have something happy to reflect on now. I know many people find the story funny, but I still feel the humiliation and would like a happier story until I get to a point where I can laugh about it. For those of you commenting and sending messages about how I’m a crybaby because I didn’t get my “fairytale” proposal, I never once said I wanted that or asked for that. I think there’s a big gap between an extravagant fairytale proposal and a proposal you barely remember because you were nauseous and that got cut short because you vomited on your partner in the middle.

Hi, I'm really new to reddit. I'm a 17 year old girl living with her parents, who are very religious. My brother has a drug problem and so does his wife. They have a kid. They've both been arrested. My parents are saying that it's my legal responsibility to take custody of their kid because I turn 18 next week and it's the law that I have to adopt my niece. I can't find any law that says this, but I can't be sure. I told them I'm going to college (which they didn't know I plan on doing) and they said that's not important, that I have a Godly and legal duty to this child and they will find me a husband to make money to pay bills.

I guess my question is: is there really a law that says I have to take custody of my niece? I love her but I can't take care of a two year old. I also don't want to marry some random man to "take care" of me. I think my parents are just wanting to not have to take her. They keep telling me that if she goes "into the system" they'll turn me in for child abuse and I'll go to jail. I don't want that. Is there really a way they can force me to take her? And what really happens to her if I don't? Sorry if this is all over the place, I'm just really scared and I can't afford a lawyer, I have no money. Thank you in advance.

It seems like in a lot of cases where the person is obviously not the rear end in a top hat, they have friends who told them they were. In this case the woman's friends, not her husband, are saying she is selfish.

I bet they're all just catty and bitter and don't want to see her get a fun cute proposal story like "I threw up all over him the first time but it was so sweet he proposed again 2 days later to make me feel better"

I get that, but Reddit was also telling her she's the rear end in a top hat. I just don't get how she could possibly be.

Problem Sleuth posted:

Yeah I thought it was weird too so I checked and it's just the top comment, who's calling her an rear end in a top hat because you "don't get a redo" for a proposal. All the other comments are saying no assholes here, which I agree with.

AITA for not "defending" my girlfriend in this situation?

So my girlfriend gets extreme social anxiety. Even in a friendly situation she freezes up and often goes silent, it happened at my friend's anniversary party I went to with her the first weekend we were together. She basically spoke to no one except me although she later told me she enjoyed the party. Also had issues the first time she met my parents although she opened up.

So she likes White Castle so we went there for dinner once. The only White Castle near me is in a pretty run down and rough area, but whatever, it's just a fast food place. We ordered and started eating.

Shortly after that some weird middle aged guy wanders over to our table and says "hi". I said hi back nervously and asked if he needed anything. He just started rambling about something. I don't know what he wanted, I just nodded at him and didn't speak and just kept hoping he'd leave. My girlfriend clammed up nervously. Eventually after about 30 seconds he just kind of wandered away. I think he was mentally ill but not dangerous. There's a lot of people like that in that neighborhood.

So a slightly uncomfortable incident but nothing bad happened right? Later though my girlfriend got upset at me and started screaming about how her ex would never tolerate a guy like that. Her ex would've stood up and physically imposed on him to leave according to her and that I could've done the same. I told her that he wasn't dangerous, didn't say anything threatening and hadn't done anything worth starting an altercation over and if he didn't leave so soon I would've asked him too or I would've called 911 but she's insisting I could've forced him away sooner and would if I meant that much to her.

So AITA? Physically yes I am more imposing than him, but didn't see him as a threat, just uncomfortable.

Sister (27F) had an affair 6 months ago and I banned her from my home after she brought her affair partner to Thanksgiving Dinner - trying to move forward with Christmas upon us
/r/all
My sister and her husband (29M) had been married for 2 years, together for 5. If it's relevant, he is very well liked by our family and is an all-around good guy.

6 months ago, he discovered that she had been seeing and sleeping with someone else (mid-30ish M). The affair had been ongoing for about 3 months when it was uncovered. Their marriage is over and they are getting divorced. I guess for the better, there are no children involved.

In an initial attempt to save the marriage, she swore to him and to everyone else that she had broken things off with the new man. However, we have always suspected otherwise. No one in our family had ever previously met this guy or even heard of him.

Last month, I hosted our family for Thanksgiving dinner. While it might sound weird, the plan had been for both my sister and her (soon to be) ex-husband to come - he and my sister both agreed with this, if only to give everyone a sense of normalcy (especially the children: I have two daughters, and our brother has a son - they are all close with their uncle [i.e. the husband]). Unfortunately, the husband is a doctor and with only a couple of days notice he had to take on a shift that evening and couldn't make it (I half suspect that he decided it might be too awkward after all and bailed - and I can't blame him for that).

So, Thanksgiving arrives and my sister shows up . . . with her affair partner, declaring that now was a good time to introduce him to the family (note that she has sworn several times over the past 6 months that she was no longer involved with him). However, they weren't alone: they had also brought along his 5-year old daughter (he has two children, with two different mothers: the 5-year old and a 10-month old . Yes, do the math: he had a newborn at home and was out cheating on the mother of that child with my sister).

I was livid, and fully prepared to kick them out, but couldn't do that in front of an innocent child . . . and I think that's exactly why they brought her along. As a result, all of us felt forced to endure this extremely awkward situation. Thanksgiving dinner basically proceeded in silence and everyone made excuses to leave as soon as possible. Our mother was near tears the entire time.

As my sister was leaving, I took her aside and told her how disgusted I was with her stunt and that she was to never bring him to my home again and if she did, both of them would be asked to leave next time, regardless of whether they've dragged one of his kids along with them. She argued, I argued back, it got heated, and I ended up telling her that she was simply not welcome at my house anymore, with or without him. I admit, I took it too far. However, in the days following Thanksgiving our argument got out (she cried to our parents that I had cut her out of my life, I told people about what had happened, etc.) and for the first while, I had everyone's support. It was generally agreed that what she had done was beyond the pale. However, now it's almost Christmas and I have my brother and our parents all asking if I've relented, and assuming that I wasn't serious and that Christmas family gatherings at my house, or elsewhere, would go on as normal. My sister has not once reached out to me since Thanksgiving to apologize or ask if she is welcome again.

I feel stuck. I didn't really want to cut her out of my life like that (and for what is is work, I don't think I have: I only said I didn't want her in my home. I'm more then willing to see her anywhere else), and I feel as if I have lost everyone's support for my actions. I also don't want to countenance her behavior after what she did at Thanksgiving or her new relationship with her affair partner. Call it stubbornness or pride, but I feel she should at least try to apologize before I accept her back.

TL;DR: my sister cheated on her husband and after swearing that everything was over with her sketchy affair partner, she brings him to Thanksgiving dinner and expects everyone to accept him (we don't). Things got heated and I banned her from my home . . . just trying to figure out what I should, or can, do next.

“HOW DARE YOU NOT ESCALATE THAT SITUATION! I WAS KIND OF UNCOMFORTABLE!”

quote:

Turns out, not nearly as screwed as I thought. I still have fines and hoops to jump through, but for the most part I'm not even in trouble. After my madlad attorney I hired at your advice went through a grand total of 53 w2s and a binder packed to bursting with paystubs, he informed me the only year out of the last 19 I've owed taxes is this year (2019). Since I have never made over $17k in a single year plus the fact that I have 2 kids I was basically legally exempt from taxes the whole time. However, because of my new job I've made almost $52k this year, and so far have only paid ≈$700ytd. He's gonna help me file this year, and after I catch up with my owed taxes, I'll be a functional, tax-paying citizen again!

Now for the best news. Since you guys helped me gather the courage to take this step, I wanted to thank you all because MY S.O. HAS FINALLY AGREED TO MARRY ME!!!! Now that we've got this on track, she's no longer worried about being held responsible for my stupidity. Thanks so much everyone, Merry Christmas!

I'm sure this situation is happening, but I don't think social services is going to let a high schooler take custody of someone else's kid. At least I sure hope not. I could totally see the parents taking custody and dumping the kid on her though. She needs to get far, far away from this family, even if it means dropping out and moving to another state.

Making less than 20k a year for 20 years with two kids is not a happy ending. Its like if Jennifer survived in Love Story and then it turned out she owed a lot of money to the mob.
