This reads like a fantasy written by the family's spineless scapegoat of how they think finally being confrontational would go down. They gathered all their stuff in a big pile while everyone just watched? Ok. That their killer burn was delivered through a locked bedroom door only proves they should have hired a normal person to consult on their script for authenticity before testing it with an audience.

AITA for lying to my pregnant fiance about a sex toy?

quote:

This first paragraph will probably make me sound like the a**hole, but please keep reading beyond that.

My fiance is 5 months pregnant. During this pregnancy, our sex life has virtually disappeared. She doesn't want to have sex, kiss, touch, or even so much as hug. Because my main form of emotional expression is through touch, this has left me feeling hurt and rejected. I've been pretty positive, but one day she used my laptop and saw recent porn usage. She has no problem with me watching porn, but she knows it's something I haven't really watched in years. This led to her asking me if our lack of sex has been hard on me. I admitted it has. She told me she just hasn't had a sex drive after becoming pregnant, and that she's sorry that she's been physically and emotionally distant. We talked things out, and the conversation went great.

At first, I was okay with everything. I would continue taking care of myself sexually and form a better connection with her outside of the bedroom. But not long after that conversation, I found a recently used dildo under our bed. I asked her that I thought her sex drive was gone. She admitted that she's still been masturbating regularly, almost every day. Naturally, this kinda hurt because I wondered how she could have drive to have sex with a toy, but not with me. I expressed this and she suggested that I get a toy as well.

I bought a toy for myself. It was a standard fleshlight that I only used a couple times. Fast forward a month, and we were cleaning out our house. She grabbed a box which I had hid the toy in, and asked what was in it. Embarrassed, I said "oh it's just a couple of books". She started to open it and I stopped her and she asked again what was in it. I said "It's a sex toy". She immediately stormed out because she said I lied to her by telling her it was something else, which I guess is true. I just panicked because I didn't want her to see it. She left and went to her mom's house to stay the night there.

She was texting me saying that she can't trust me, and then that turned into her being mad about me having a fleshlight, even though she was the one who suggested I get a toy since we wouldn't be having much sex for awhile. I pointed this out and also the fact that she owned a dildo. Her counterargument was that her dildo was purple so that made it unrealistic, but the fact that the fleshlight was skin colored made it almost the same as cheating, and accused me of wanting to sleep with someone else, which is nowhere near remotely true.

So, people of reddit, AITA for this fight? Or is my fiance overblowing the situation?

Depends, if their "stuff" was a couple of bags from their rooms sure. But they have loads of kids and stuff with them. So the only chance would be if they excused themselves, collected it all upstairs while everyone else was downstairs, and then dump it all and say it at the same time.

Seems unlikely to me, not least because anyone certain enough in their convictions to kick everyone out of their house on thanksgiving despite the fact they all go mad about it, isn't going to need the Internet to tell them they were in the right.

No. Vitamin E acetate is the most likely cause. There's no proof it's the only cause. People developed the symptoms while vaping name-brand junk without THC in it.

the setup is plausible enough but there's so many details that don't make any sense. It probably happened, just either nothing like described, or she really is a spoilt brat who married into money and does nothing for the family but host xmas and holds it over their heads the rest of the year.

AITA for lying to my in-laws about actively trying to have a child.

quote:

My wife and I are in our early 30s no children and no plans on ever having children. My wife is an only child and her parents are constantly pressuring us to have children. Every Christmas when we visit them this subject turns into a huge argument between my wife and her parents because she’s very adamant about not having children. This year I decided to interact with them differently and pretend like we’re actively trying to have children. When I told them we’re finally ready to have children and we’re actively trying they were overwhelmed with joy. Their entire attitude was extremely positive and the dinner was peaceful and full of laughs. They would ask me how many children I wanted and I would respond I’m not stopping till I have one of each. I would ask them parenting questions and their answers were so cheerful and they would Reminisce about when my wife was a child. My MIL even gave me unsolicited sex advice to get my wife pregnant.
My wife says I’m a total rear end in a top hat for lying to them so blatantly but I really don’t think it’s such a bad thing to keep the peace. AITA?

There is definitely a sex toy double standard. Women having vibrators is normal and acceptable, and a guy having a fleshlight is a creepy perv.

When I'm done with my despair-borne shuddering, maybe I'll have gone insane enough to try to figure out what sort of advice my MIL could possibly give me regarding ways to get my wife pregnant

"Don't finish in the Fleshlight"?
"Do it standing up"?
"Ignore everything Cumshitter has to say about hetero sex"?

I'm morbidly curious as to what advice could be given.

It's not an enormous lie at all, they can change their mind the next time they're over, just like they did this time. They would officially be an rear end in a top hat once there was a fake pregnancy and fake baby shower.

AITA for warning my neighbor about his wife?

I live in a condo. Our building has 12 units, so we know our neighbors very well. I am very friendly with the couple that lives across the hall. I’m single, and they often invite me to dinner with them. I hang out with the husband pretty often. We have game nights, and hang out at bars together. A few days before Christmas I saw another male come and pick up the wife while the husband was at work. They went out for a couple of hours and came back. I saw them hugging.

I told him to come by my house when he got off of work for a beer so that I could tell him what I saw. Later that evening I told him and he didn’t believe me. He was devastated, and went to confront his wife. They got into a big fight, but in the end it turned out just to be a cousin that came in from out of town to visit her. They went out for lunch. He and this cousin know each other, he was a groomsmen in his wedding.

I apologized profusely to the wife and him. I tried to explain that I was just looking out for a friend. She was not having it and cursed me out. I told her that she was being extremely rude and hurtful. She doesn’t want me to hang out with her husband anymore, effectively ruining our friendship. Am I the rear end in a top hat here or is she? I tried to apologize to her, and explain my reasoning. She wasn’t open to it at all. I don’t think that this is fair.

AITA for posting on my girlfriend snapchat story using her account?

She's posted on my insta before (I don't use snapchat).

​I took her on vacation to Italy for her birthday a few days ago. I'm paying for everything - flights, travel, activities, food, etc. This is not a cheap vacation, I'm probably spending $12K between the two of us.

She just got back from a very popular bakery and bought cannolis. They had five flavors, and she bought one of each. And they cost an unbelievably 5 euros each, which is like $28. So overall, I spent more than $30 on cannoli after you account for currency exchange fees etc.

So, I took a video of her eating one and posted it on her snap story with the caption "just spent $30 of Jake's money on cannoli lol".

​Now she's all pissed off at me. Did I cross the line?

Sounds like gossiping and being the one to "drop the hammer" was this guy's thrill of the decade. Did this guy take a photo or something? Or even just made particular note of the stranger's physical features? Could have easily handled this way more diplomatically and investigative than just telling your friend it looks like his wife was cheating.

I don't think your partner should get to make a lie that causes such a critical alteration in the dynamics with your parents without at least discussing it with you first. He just signed her up for a lot of humoring and deception she clearly hates doing, or else she would have been doing it in the first place. Either that, or outing her partner as a liar, which I suppose is just a ticking time bomb now anyway.

After all, if she was up for the long con, she probably would have started off on that foot in the first place.

AITA for asking my girlfriend to quit dressing so slutty?

u/Leather-Run33d

My girlfriend and I have been together for just over a year. She's hot. She knows she's hot. And she dresses pretty revealingly.

Two examples:

Yesterday, we had thanksgiving dinner with my family. She wore an unbelievably tight crop top and high waisted jeans.

We went out for lunch today since we both had work off. She wore leggings, a sports bra, and a half-unzipped sweatshirt.

I told her she should be aware of whose she's with and start dressing more conservatively as appropriate. She got all pissed off at me. AITA?
