AITA for not wanting my girlfriend to dye her hair?

quote:

My girlfriend approached me and said she wanted to dye the tips of he hair. The problem I had is that I'm not really attracted to dyed hair, and so it bothered me a little bit. Desperate to find positives for dyeing hair I looked it up and the cons definitely outweigh the pros. Knowing this and the fact someone in my family as well as a friend used to have dyed hair and they said they hated it, I confronted her and she got really defensive and started getting very angry at me. I felt very guilty because I didn't want to make the decision for her so I told her we could text this instead of getting very emotional (and potentially hateful) about it. I told her that i found her natural beauty more attractive than anything something like dye could ever do, and that i think she shouldn't change they way she looks because she's already perfect to me. After I told her everything, she said, " regardless of how the argument ends, I'm still going to do it." So, in a fit of immature anger, I said, "gently caress you." (This obviously wasn't a good idea no matter the circumstances) so she was reasonably upset so I kept trying to backtrack and kept saying I was sorry. She eventually responded after I said, "listen to me please" she asked, "what" so I told her. "I’m sorry. I just don’t want you to make a mistake that may or may not even happen. Like I always say, your natural beauty is perfect for me and everyone else, but especially me. I love you the way you are and I just can’t bear you changing." And she said she understood. This was written right after, and I feel bad. (As stated this was written right after so I'm still pretty emotional, like her so please forgive any grammar mistakes.)

Is it better to send the money and not have any connection with the kid, or is it better to force a connection with a kid he clearly doesn't want and may abandon later in life if he's still adamant he doesn't want a kid?

I feel like the kids sake he did the right thing. He is an rear end in a top hat but he did something assholish for the right reason. But the mom sucks too for forcing a connection that would traumatize the kid who would be desperate for attention from a dad who clearly doesn't want to give it

I think my answer is that this guy seems like a real sack of poo poo, this wasn’t some drunken hookup that resulted in a pregnancy; it was his wife. I guess he wasn’t real committed to that relationship!

But yeah, he should stay away, but don’t go trying to find kudos from the internet for it

AITA for getting my sister arrested?
Please don't speed read this.

I really love my sister. Before she got into drugs she was the best sister in the world. When we were little we pretended we were Elsa and Anna. We used to play video games and travel.She would break me out of school so we could get games on their release dates. She was so good at all of them it was amazing. Once we drove to Arizona just for in and out.

But then she got into drugs and the sister I knew slowly faded away. She always wanted to be with her "friends" and when we went places I always had to foot the bill. I didn't mind at first but then it was almost every time we hung out and soon it was time for me to go to college and I needed to save up money for college

When I started going to college she became very nasty towards me and my brother said it was because she was jealous that I was in college. I tried to encourage her, she could do it. Its not that hard. I would help her with the paperwork and everything but she didn't want to. So we sort of drifted apart. She went to prison and started getting arrested for drugs and she broke out of the court ordered rehab and we hadn't seen or heard from her in months.

Anyway, yesterday she calls me and asks for money. It was the first time Id heard from her in months, I was just gonna paypal her the money and call it a day. But then I had an idea. I started asking if she wanted a pizza and she gave me her address and I asked what sort of pizza she wanted and she told me.

I called the pizza place and ordered all of her favorites and then I called the cops and told them where she was.

Unfortunately the cops got there before the pizza did and her Meth head friends start telling me I'm awful for what I did to her and how could I do that to my own sister and how they just wanted her to be happy, I started screaming back and telling them I LOVED my sister and she deserves the best and if they loved her they would want her to get clean and start taking care of herself again.

A few minutes later I get a call from the pizza place and they say the kid was too afraid to go inside because of all the screaming and cops and I ask if I can just cancel the order and just leave him a tip on the card.

My family members tell me they're happy I did this as we were all worried we'd get a call that they found her dead somewhere but I told my friends and they all said I'm an rear end in a top hat for doing this and I should have just gave her the pizza and looked the other way.

AITA?

UPDATE: I DID NOT SEND THE PIZZA GUY TO A METH HOUSE

She was in a hotel room and I called and sent the pizza to a hotel room. Why??? Because i was trying to feed her before she got arrested and where I live 99% of the time the pizza gets there before the cops do. I tipped the dude 20 bucks and after class Im going and giving him another 20 bucks.

Assuming we take him at his word:

quote:

I had told her that it was due to a contraceptive fail and I don't want to have a child. I wasn't allowed to get a vasectomy done because I was too young then.
"Committed relationship" goes both ways. If he was adamant enough about it to have tried to get a vasectomy it seems pretty reasonable to assume this had been discussed with his wife.

If she wasn't in agreement with his thoughts about having not children, saying "oops I'm pregnant now, gonna have to be a father" is an rear end in a top hat move. The betrayal probably hurts more in a committed relationship than a drunken hookup because you'd expect your partner to be on the same page.

But who knows, maybe he had always said he'd be willing to have kids and changed his tune when it became real.

AITA for waking my roommates up for a snack?

quote:

I currently live in a two bedroom apartment with two roommates (married couple). For a number of reasons, right now we are temporarily all sleeping in one room. I usually eat a late-night snack around 10 PM or so but regardless, I usually wake up around 2 or 3 AM pretty hungry. The way our situation works (again for a multitude of reasons), one of my roommates has all of the snacks and I don't have any direct/easy access to any food, so I have to wake her up to give me a snack. Usually I end up waking the guy up too since we are all in the same room.

If I don't eat at 3 AM and just wait until they get up around 6 or 7 (or later) I would be very hangry/cranky the entire half of the night and literally crying because I am so hungry. Currently, neither of my roommates is working so even if I wake them up for a snack, it's not like they have anything to do in the morning so they can sleep in.

AITA for waking up my roommates for a 3 AM snack every night?

EDIT: State is MA and I am a 6 week old newborn/baby. The married couple are my parents.

AITA for being upset that my husband has been taking credit for housework that my daughter has been doing?


quote:

My husband(65M) and I(47F)have been married for 19 years. I’ve always done virtually 100% of the housework. Even though we both worked full time. Although I did stay home after my daughter was born. He retired a few months ago, and so I expected him to do more housework since he would be home all the time. But he hasn’t. I only specifically asked if he’d pick up the groceries from now on though.

After talking to him about it. He agreed to start. I thought it was great. And was kind of shocked. He was suddenly doing all the cleaning and cooking by the time I got home. He was going to the grocery store and doing the laundry.

But then I recently discovered that he’s just been having my 17 yo daughter do it. I guess I should’ve known since he went from having never used a stove, to suddenly cooking these beautiful dinners.

I only found out cause my husband told me he had got everything from the grocery store. But my daughter told me they were out of Coke’s when she went. I asked her about it and she said that her father had told her that I asked him to pick up some of the chores. And so he had her do it.

She said that I was being unreasonable for being upset and that that’s just how he is. But I don’t think I am. I’ve been falling over myself thanking him for the things I’ve done for 20 years. And I feel like an idiot.

OP could live anywhere and this would be true. If the pizza guy is late to your house, there are consequences.

I don't think she often makes the cops and pizza guy race each other for her amusement. Arresting all the stoners at 2am is a good way to none pizza left beef up your minor possession conviction numbers I guess.

If she's going to swat her sister, she should just kind of like, admit what she's doing. It's like she's buying the pizza as an indulgence because she knows she's not actually helping.

I had a question about this situation, though I feel I already know the answer. I have next to no experience with the legal system beyond traffic violations. When the cops pick her up for escaping court ordered rehab, will the court most likely send her back to rehab and *then* prison for the violation, or just straight to prison?

Also, her sister getting into drugs is very likely because she had to play Anna and never got to be Elsa when they played Frozen. This is all OP's fault.

"little" is a weird marker for 5th grade (or 10 years old), but then I remember when I was in 5th grade I used to play dragon ball z with my friends on the playground. I was always Trunks.

Also, content:

Proposed to my (30) GF (35) with a World of Warcraft ring that has the WoW Insignia on it and I've lost her ever since and need her back.

quote:

Hey y'all,

I'm not a particularly sociable person. I play video games and keep my head down, its what I do. I met this cool priest in WoW who I ended up PvPing and raiding with a ton. I finally got the hint that she's talking to me more than anyone else in our guild and finally summoned the courage to ask her to hop on voice chat. She was enchanting. I was so nervous and she was so endearingly spazzy and nasally voiced that my heart absolutely melted. We finally met up and she accepted me for who I was, never pressured me to do anything outside of my comfort zone and was honestly the closest thing I can imagine to an angel being sent down to me. Cheesy, I know, but its how I feel. My social anxiety has had me push off the whole engagement idea for years now because I just couldnt feel like I could handle the rejection.

I finally mustered the courage to buy a cute ring with the Horde emblem from WoW on it and stuttered through a proposal while shaking awkwardly. She seemed completely blown away until I opened the box and showed her the WoW ring. She said she had to think about it, that her stomach hurt, and how she had to go be alone for a bit. Texting has been extremely sparse since. I texted her to ask how she was doing and she literally told me she's struggling to take a 'massive dump', something we've never been open about sharing in the past. A few days went by and I checked up on her again only to get a GIF of the scene from the shining where blood spills into a hallway. Assuming she was saying she had a bad period, but it felt really insulting and dismissive of me. I've been hurting but I'm being called all sorts of names by our friends because of how 'obviously terrible' the WoW ring idea was. In retrospect, I can see it, but I really did think I was doing a sweet gesture to honor how we met.

Reddit, I'm hurting really badly and not sure how to get her back.
