TV is fun sometimes but lol at passionate about consuming content. They both sound Insufferable. Edit: then again honestly even watching the dumbest TV is probably a better use of time and brain cells than these forums. So OP is actually cooler and smarter than me.

razorrozar posted:isn't isolating someone from their friends and family a textbook indicator of abuse Yeah, but according to the OP it is just him withdrawing and not him telling her she cannot or should not see them anymore. Maybe she is sugarcoating his actions or maybe they are terrible people. She seems to acknowledge herself that all the people he does not want to interact with are assholes so maybe he is just tired of being around them himself. Then again she could be saying that because he is feeding that rationalization to her now and he is abusive.

AITA for missing the birth of my first child so a mate could spend time with her dying grandfather? This is a horrible situation and I need to know if my wife is justified. My wife gave birth to our first baby 3 days ago. We've had a rough few years with 2 miscarriages and a stillbirth at 37 weeks. So my wife was terrified this whole pregnancy. I am a firefighter and was on duty when my wife went into labour. Her doctor said that it would likely be a while so I decided to stay at the base for a little longer because it is about mayhem and we're never enough people anyway. Then one of my mates gets a call that her grandfather had a heart attack and will probably not make it. Obviously she was devastated. Things got really hectic we got called out to another fire and our captain said one of us could go but not both. I told my colleague not to worry she should go and spend time with her grandfather since it will be her last chance. So I had to go out and missed the birth of my child. I got there 2 hours after my girl was born. I felt horrible and apologised profusely to my wife but she just yelled at me, said I let her down in the scariest moment of her life and then told me to leave. So I left and waited in the hallway. It's been 3 days and she refuses to say anything apart from the bare minimum related to the baby. They can leave tomorrow and she's informed me that she was going to stay with her sister who recently had a baby too until she "knows what to do about our relationship or what's left of it". I understand that it must have been scary for her but my reasoning is that only one of us could leave and I will have a whole life to be with my child whereas my mate only had a few hours with her loved one left

He hosed up by not hauling rear end the second her water broke. "Oh it could be hours" can also turn into "wow, dilated pretty far in 3 hours" or "poo poo! Prep for a C-Section NOW" pretty quickly and I'm sure she could have appreciated having someone there to keep her company. It's all on him deciding "nah I'll stay at my job that can call me away for hours at a time with no notice "

This could have been avoided if someone had had the simple presence of mind to start a fire in the hospital so that he’d have to be dispatched there. Just another problem for which some mild arson was the solution.

He should've left work and told his captain or boss or whatever to pull someone off the street if they needed help, his wife or baby could've died during childbirth and that's no small thing, which is what she's ultimately furious at him about

If it was any other job I'd probably agree, but given that he's a firefighter it seems that his concern was that if he left, he'd be potentially putting someone else's life at risk by not being there. Really a lovely situation all around.

Yeah he didn't want to be there, at some level, and found a way to justify it to himself as it was happening As if he couldn't have left the hospital for some kind of 5 alarm fire during the delivery if he was actually needed.

I also want to point out that his logic that 'i would have a whole lifetime with my kid but she would never get to say goodbye to her Grandpa again' isn't as sound as one may think. There is always the possibility that there will be complications during birth and you could lose not only your child but your partner, especially if it has been high risk in the past. If things had gone differently, he could have sacrificed his only moments with his child before they passed OR his last moments with his partner. His assumption that his situation was stable so he could make the sacrifice was erroneous. His logic can just as easily be turned around as 'my co-worker got to have a whole life with her Grandpa, and I might not have much of a chance with my kid'. dude hosed up bad

And, you know, there wouldn't have been the poo poo situation of "Watch Baby Born / Let Coworker Watch Gramps Pass" if he had been at the loving hospital. Because then, someone *else* would have been like "Yo yeah leave and see Grampapa, we'll call up <a reservist/backup> to cover". Dude better be like "hey it's 8pm I'll stay up all night while the baby shits, wails, feeds and pukes so you can rest" for the next 3 months + buying her post-natal massages + cooking and cleaning because this is an epic gently caress-up.

PancakeTransmission posted:This is in the PDS for my theft insurance for my car. Maybe the US is different, and I'm sure other insurance companies may have different ideas of what constitutes theft. My homeowners policy covers theft from my car. Also, like somebody said that's comprehensive and anybody driving a car worth less than around 4 or 5k shouldn't be carrying anything but liability, it's usually a waste of money considering the deductible. If the accident isn't your fault your own insurance isn't an issue. Also keep in mind, that's theft of the car and not theft of what's in the car.

AITA for calling my girlfriend a dumbass when she said that the dinosaurs killed the romans? So my girlfriend and I were having a conversation about something, when it got onto the topic of Rome. I was saying how I’d love to have seen Rome in its heyday, and she said “until you get eaten by a dinosaur”. I initially thought she was joking, and just laughed and said “what”. Then she said, completely straight faced, that the Roman Empire fell because of the dinosaurs. That dinosaurs killed the romans. I asked if she was serious and she said “you didn’t know that?” Like it was something everyone would know. I told her that the dinosaurs died like a million years before humans even existed (I realize this isn’t the correct number, but at least I have a vague timeline). She said that wasn’t true and I said “don’t be a dumbass, just think about it, how would there not be stories about dinosaurs rampaging through civilizations if they existed during the Roman Empire”. She just got upset and said “don’t call me a dumbass” and went home. I mean what the hell? Who even taught her that? And how does she still believe it? She’s 23 not 12! AITA?

Roman military might would have mopped the floor with dinosaurs. I saw it on THC's "Ancient Monster Battles." It's a good show. Apparently, the SS were practically trained into becoming the perfect dinosaur fighters. Obviously there were no dinosaurs in WW2, but you can't deny that their tactics were almost perfectly designed to kill large reptiles.

AITA for snapping at my wife and making her leave a family party early? Wife Lisa (38) and I (37) have been married 4 years, together for 15. Strong relationship for the most part. This weekend we attended my family’s annual big Christmas event. All the extended members were there. 50 people or so My brother (39) was there with his girlfriend Amy (34). Amy has 4 boys from a previous marriage and 1 daughter with my brother. Daughter Eliza just turned 2 and this was the first time she was meeting most of my extended family. The reason is complicated. Amy’s ex husband is an addict and abuser (fact, not opinion). No one knew that Amy and my brother started seeing each other during her separation. When she got pregnant with Eliza, Amy’s ex insisted the baby was his. Due to legalities in our state, Amy’s ex was considered Eliza’s father because they weren’t divorced. Correcting this and establishing paternity for my brother was a long, painful, difficult process. My wife Lisa has gossiped to (mostly) her mother about this in the past. I didn’t like it but I won’t police her conversations. Lisa thinks it’s a scandal and is convinced that my brother was sleeping with Amy before she and her ex separated. In my opinion, the timing is irrelevant. My brother adores Amy and her children. They’re a very happy family and we should be focusing on stability for the kids, especially Amy’s boys. I have no idea how the conversation at the party started, I walked up in the middle of it. Lisa was at a table with several people including my mom and she was loudly “venting” about Amy and my brother. When she mentioned paternity testing, my mom quietly said “Lisa, that’s enough.” Lisa got frustrated and said something like “No, people have a right to know what really happened” and continued explaining. The cousins she was speaking with tried changing the subject, it didn’t work. I stepped in at that point and snapped at her. Told her that was ENOUGH and she needed to get her things. I apologized to the table and took Lisa home. She has been furious with me ever since, saying that I embarrassed her and that I’m asking her to lie for Amy. She’s very angry we left the party. I don’t need her to lie, I just think that the details she brought up aren’t anyone’s business and don’t matter in the long run. In my opinion, she embarrassed herself. Maybe it was overkill to leave altogether. But I was embarrassed as well and worried Amy’s kids might get wind of the conversation. Ironically, the only person understanding of Lisa’s side is AMY who told my mom that she knows people will talk about it and she’s strong enough to accept it. Maybe that’s true, but I don’t think Amy, my brother or the kids should have to worry about that around family. Am I the rear end in a top hat for expecting better from my own wife? Or is this just reality of the situation?
