They absolutely exist.

A quick Google search also brings up a US News article stating that the Tesla SUV is “far and away the highest base price in the luxury hybrid and electric SUV class.”

Not exactly the same thing as the used Jeep she was in love with for months.

I'm (F22) getting tired of supporting my unemployed BF (M23).

quote:

I'll try to be short and straight to the point...Me and my boyfriend have been together for 5 years and living together for a year and a half. Background: We were together since highscool. I went to college and he didn't. We spent 2 years long distance until I graduated. After I graduated, I moved to the city he was staying for us to get our first place. I was able to get a job in my field instantly when I moved (so I wouldn't have to financially depend on him) and he already had a job in retail. We have had our ups and downs but so far things were good till about almost a year ago when he quit his job for being disrespected.

Problem: Since quitting that job, he has had 2 other jobs, both he quit under 2 months for coworker conflicts. He has now not had a job for 4 months and claims there is nothing out there for him that meets what he needs. For the past 2 months I have been paying HIS bills to keep him from missing payments as he has now run out of money. He refuses to work a job that is below a certain pay, not the hours he wants, or seems too stressful. He also sees part time work as a waste of time. He now wants me to apply for jobs for him as he's getting no where. He has now picked up a hobby of MMA and claims he wants to make it a career. I don't agree with this but let him at least have a hobby as he does nothing all day besides that. When the topic of work comes up he gets angry and a conversation goes no where. He doesn't want to go to school as he cannot afford it and really doesn't seem to have many options he's willing to settle for.

He's a sweet guy and I love him very much but it seems long term he might not be reliable. I feel guilty for having these thoughts but it's getting tough to not feel like I'm getting manipulated. It's taking a toll on my attraction to him. I feel like he has no ambition even though he feels bad for not having a job and letting me pay for everything.

We both have a lease together and have a long time till it ends. He has no one to fall back on so I feel bad kicking him out but I'm getting frustrated and exhausted. Should I be patient until he finds a job right for him? If I'm enabling him, what should I do? Am I being shallow for feeling like I can't be with him because of this situation?

TLDR: Boyfriend(23) is unemployed and seems to make no efforts to find a sustainable career. I'm getting exhausted of paying for 2 people. Am I being too harsh?

I am forever perplexed by the couples where one brings absolutely nothing and doesn't want to change their manchild ways (I suspect vastly more men than women but social stuff like that gets weird) and the other pays for everything. Maybe I know people where that's the case and they just hide it well or something, Christ. Two months isn't the worst example the thread has presented but still.

Maybe I just have a whole oedipal thing and preferring competent take no bullshit women like the ones who raised me but come the gently caress on. It's like the people who want SOs they can steamroller instead of a partner, I guess. Dicap and all that.

I assume they came from a lovely family where their parent got married out of obligation/tradition and stayed together out of inertia/fear of being alone/decorum. When "family is who you're obliged to be with regardless of how much they suck or you're a bad person" is what you grew up with, it's hard to act in a rational manner.

AITA for not giving my BF 50% of my pain/injury settlement after I got in an accident in his car?

quote:

So earlier this month I (21F) was driving my boyfriend's (22M) C5 corvette when someone ran a red light at an intersection and hit me, totaling the car. I was the the driver in the car and had no passengers besides my two dogs. I was not at any fault for this accident, there were several witnesses that the other driver ran their red light and hit me. I was not seriously injured and my dogs were fine, just shaken up. My boyfriend was upset that his car is totaled but was not mad at me, just frustrated with the situation, which I understood. (Also note he knew I was driving his car at the time, and I had permission to do so.) An ambulance was not called and my boyfriend drove me to the hospital afterwards. My injuries, though not serious, include the typical whiplash and shoulder/back pain, contusions, muscle soreness etc. as well as a busted lip that was bleeding pretty badly at the time of the accident. I was prescribed pain medications at the hospital following the accident.

After the insurance claims are filed with both parties my boyfriend informs me we should meet with his attorney for the situation and I agree. Flash forward, and it seems I would be the one receiving money from the settlement, while he receives money from the insurance to compensate for the loss of his vehicle. Knowing insurance can be somewhat stingy with total payouts sometimes, I agree to cover any difference if they do not give him at least XXXXX amount.

Now here is where the argument comes in; My boyfriend feels he should get half, literally 50%, of my individual settlement and here are his reasons why: 1) I was driving his car 2) I got his car in a wreck and now he is without this vehicle (keep in mind he has another vehicle and this has luckily not put him in a bind for transportation) 3) He referred me to the attorney I am using and its "his" attorney.

I understand where he is coming from and already feel horrible I was the one to get the corvette in an accident, but also am upset he is just NOW blaming me when he has already agreed it wasn't my fault for the accident. Also, I don't really agree he should be getting 50% when his car will be covered and basically all he did was be owner of the car and refer me an attorney? I was the one in the accident, and again it's not like I wanted someone to run a red and hit me. On top of compensating the difference, I agreed to give him 40% while I kept 60% of my settlement for him helping me with the situation and letting me use the corvette that day, etc.

However, I know he is not happy with that agreement and he keeps bringing it up. He keeps saying I am the greedy one and he thought we would both be happy with 50% and we would both "take a win" from the accident. It is definitely putting a strain on our relationship, but I just cannot agree to 50%. I feel like he would be trying to take advantage of me in the situation, and to me he feels like the greedy one. Am in the wrong? Should he be getting 50% of the settlement on top of the amount for his car?

AITA for responding to a joke my brother made about my wife’s infertility, with a joke about his wife being the breadwinner in his relationship?

quote:

Me, brother, and our wives are in our 30s. And we’ve each been married to each-other for at least 7 years.

My wife really wanted kids, but found out she can’t. It devastated her. And she’s really sensitive about the subject (isn’t interested in adopting btw).

My brother is a househusband, and his wife the breadwinner. I know a lot of married couples. And he is the ONLY financially dependent husband I know. I’m sure there will be at least a few guys in the comments claiming to also be in this position. Or women claiming their spouses are. But I seriously doubt it. I mean I’m sure they’re out there. But no way more than 1 or 2 claims are legit. It just doesn’t happen for whatever reason. He is sensitive about this reality, and I know it. His wife is also uncomfortable with their situation. But my brother just can’t seem to hold a job. And has given up.

So I left earlier for work today cause I had some stuff to do, and my wife called me today at work crying to say that my brother came by to pick up the money to help them with some of their bills since his wife told me they were behind. But my brother wouldn’t ask me for help. And informed her that his wife was pregnant (he had already texted me after I told him I was leaving early and he could get the money from my wife).

It was hard to understand her. But I guess my wife and him apparently got into a bit of an argument after he told her his wife was pregnant. where he, “threw the fact that I can’t have kids in my face”. After she got disappointed instead of happy for him I assume.

I called him and he told me something along the lines of, ‘at least I don’t have a wife who can’t even give me kids’. And I told him that it was better than being financially dependent on my wife. He hung up, and didn’t return my text. I feel my comment wasn’t even that bad though. I mean it is kind of peculiar to see a man being supported by a female breadwinner.

Thankfully all of the comments are unanimously explaining she's not the rear end in a top hat and that her settlement is for her recovery, bills, pain, etc.

What could OP have done better earlier in her life and what extra steps could she have taken once she was independent from them? I think it's hard to not internalize at least some of your parents' attitudes and whitewash some of their behaviors, especially when they're your adoptive parents and loving too.

I definitely see your point about her needing to have and project clarity in her retrospective, especially considering her bio mother.

Like anything with family law, it depends heavily on the jurisdiction and the whims of the judge. It could easily be that since there's only a year left on the daughter's sentence, the dad and kids decided fighting it in court is more trouble than waiting out the clock or this is what the court gave them after they pared it back from more enforced visitation time. Given how OP characterizes himself in the post, it seems like he'd make at least a token effort to respect the daughter's wishes.

AITA for leaving my then-boyfriend in the woods without a lift when he wouldn't slow down enough for me to keep up when hiking?

quote:

My boyfriend and his brother were going hiking and they invited me, I said sure and joined. In the first mile they were going a little faster than I could keep up with for long and I asked to slow down to pace myself. My boyfriend said he didn't want to slow down because he and his brother wanted to have a good workout they were not here for a stroll.

I said that I'm 5 foot one, I'm not gonna keep up with two guys over 6 foot so easily. My boyfriend said maybe I should take a breather and catch up. I didn't think that would work, I'd have to go twice as fast to catch up if I took a break and it'd probably be worse overall

I tried to keep up for a bit but I fell behind and they didn't slow for me which I found super rude. They actually got ahead out of sight and in that moment I decided "what am I doing here chasing after someone who's being this inconsiderate" and I just stopped and decided I wasn't doing this. I turned back and walked back towards my car, I'd driven my boyfriend but his brother had also brought a vehicle so I figured he wouldn't be stranded.

I went home and called some friends to talk. And they kinda talked me into ending stuff with him. It was really a wakeup call for me. My friends had noticed for a while that I was acting like a puppy dog chasing at the heels of someone indifferent... And that stuff wasn't equal. And having him literally speedwalk away from me and say to catch up when we were supposed to be doing something together, really showed me that.

So after talking to my friends I sent him a text saying "Hey (name) this really isn't working for me anymore. I'm not treating myself with respect if I stay in a relationship where I'm always following what you want, how you want, you you you... The way you acted on the hike was really a wakeup call for me, that I shouldn't chase along, where I'm not wanted or valued. bye."

I got a text and a few calls and I wanted to take some time before I looked at any of it.

A few days later I saw the texts and apparently his brother hadn't gotten there by car but instead on a new motorcycle. So with me gone my ex was stranded.

I didn't answer his messages yet and he sent more that I didn't even read. I'm trying to process stuff mentally first. But from what I read he's very upset I left when I had driven him there and was supposed to be his ride. He thinks that if I was gonna up and leave I should of at least said that I was leaving with my car, instead of letting them think i was just taking a break and would catch up or meet back up.

I think that if he wanted a lift home he shouldn't have treated the person with the car like dirt.

AITA for leaving my ex in the woods?

Edit to add .. a couple people asked why they couldn't both ride on the motorcycle. Apparently his brother only has a learner permit so I assume he either wasn't allowed to take a passenger or wasn't skilled enough to yet.

There is a certain kind of young man that sees walking in the woods as a competition to see who can get there fastest without breaking a sweat. They'll fly off up the trail with a buddy or two, no mind that they're ostensibly in a group. Why invite someone on a hike if you're not going to walk with them?

I also have a brother, who recently got a girlfriend. He's been dating his gf for 8 months. She's a very conventionally attractive woman and she works in a modeling company. Her character though is not as nice. Their relationship with my brother is very toxic, both of them take advantage of and mistreat each other a lot in several ways and also she has insulted my sister and my mother. That has caused a strain in the relationship between my brother and my sister/mom.

Now my sister's wedding is coming up and she picked her bridesmaids. She asked my brother's gf to be a bridesmaid but not my fiancée, aka her close friend of almost a decade. My fiancée was very upset by this but chose not to speak because she didn't want to stick her nose in the bride's business and as hurt as she was, bride's day bride's way as she said. Out of respect for her I never told anything to my sister either.

The next time we all met, my fiancée was visibly upset and uncomfortable, trying to put an act that she was unbothered. After that, my sister called me and asked what's wrong with my fiancée. I just said she's been feeling a bit down lately, she'll be fine. She kept pressuring me and asked me if it's about her being excluded as a bridesmaid. I was honest and said yes, and I'm also offended. She asked why. I said that it's pretty self explanatory since she excluded her close friend of 7-8 years to put my brother's gf instead when she's treated our family like poo poo. She said not asking my fiancée is nothing personal, it was more of an aesthetic choice because my brothers gf has an old money vibe while my fiancée looks "cheap" no matter what she does. I said her reasoning made things even worse and she should be ashamed but she called me and my fiancée ta for feeling offended for her wedding choices. AITA???

This is the first story I've read where someone described a person as "conventionally attractive" where they weren't the rear end in a top hat.

Congrats OP for breaking barriers.

Also lmao yes ban weddings.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

There is a certain kind of young man that sees walking in the woods as a competition to see who can get there fastest without breaking a sweat. They'll fly off up the trail with a buddy or two, no mind that they're ostensibly in a group. Why invite someone on a hike if you're not going to walk with them?

OP rules. They ditch you, you ditch them. You want to ride in someone's car, you show them basic respect.

My parents had different paces. Dad would often go off ahead and find interesting things, or go get the car to a closer lot when she was getting tired. Like many things in a relationship it's more about whether you're doing it together than if you're doing it the same. Not that everything has to be done together, you know what I mean.

My gf is a slow walker/shopper. That's why I always push the cart when we shop. Can't lose her in frozen foods if I have the cart with her purse in it.

I'm curious what this means since it wasn't phrased as "she's a model".

Modeling sweatpants or mattress toppers or something not conventionally associated with being a “model”? :shrug:

She can't pull off a whale bone corset with a full bird cage gown, like old money models can.

AITA for walking my cat?

quote:

This morning, I (16f) took my cat on a walk through our neighborhood. We go on these little walks weekly, he loves them.

We saw this woman with her dog, I'm going to assume it was a lab, not for sure tho. Her dog didn't have a leash on and was running through the street while the woman was on her phone.

The dog saw my cat and started running towards us. It was growling and trying to attack my cat. I instantly picked up my cat so he wouldn't get hurt.

When the owner overheard this she started running over to where we were. The dog was trying to jump on me to get my cat but she got him under control before he could.

I told her to keep her aggressive dog on a leash and that it could seriously hurt an animal one day. She wasn't really fond of my comments.

She called me an AH and maybe if I kept my cat inside this wouldn't have happened then she walked away.

When I got home I noticed I had a few scratches on my leg from the dog, but nothing major. I made sure to give my baby extra love.

It had me wondering tho, am I the AH for walking my cat?

EDIT: Cat Tax

EDIT(2): My cat had a leash on!
