fire alarms went off in my head seeing that this dude got embarrassingly sloshed which results in an apology date in which his girlfriend ostensibly wants him to get embarrassingly sloshed again

AITA for warning my dad's girlfriend about his relationship patterns which led to her dumping him?

quote:

I'm 16F and my 45yo dad has this habit of dating college age women and dumping them after like 2 or 3 years then complaining about how needy and clingy they were. It's been going on my entire life and it really annoys me, like I feel like if he doesn't want someone clingy, a woman in her early 20s willing to date a guy who could be her dad maybe isn't the best option. It's seriously like he's allergic to any woman over 23.

I've made half jokey comments before about how I think it's creepy he only dates women 24 and under but apparently I need to mind my own business, even though I live with him full time so the women he brings over kinda are my business especially if he wants to complain to me about them when he dumps them for being clingy.

Anyway so about a week ago he introduced his new gf to me, and she's 21 but could easily pass for my age. Like she wouldn't be out of place in my high school. Idk it really bothered me in particular that day so when my dad wasn't around I told her that if she's looking for a long term thing, she won't get it from my dad because he'll definitely dump her before she turns 24 like every single other woman he's ever dated and then he'll call her a pathetic clingy mess behind her back.

I didn't think she believed me, because at the time she laughed it off and said it was different with her, but I guess she thought about it and she ended up dumping him yesterday and must have told my dad what I said, cos now he's angry at me for interfering in his relationship. He also says he's hurt that I think of him that way, even though literally all I did was tell the truth, and I think if he doesn't wanna be thought of that way he should stop being like that.

Come on hee-ho, just give us 300 more macca


Every time we (25m,26f) go out to eat she orders something “exotic” and hates it then expects to switch meals with me. She sees this as “quirky,” I’m about to leave her it’s so frustrating. What are some solutions?

quote:

Edit: we are engaged and live together, we also share credit cards and bank accounts

Maybe I’m making too a big out of this, maybe it is a big problem and why I’m posting here.

This has been going on since we’ve dated In college. I’ll use last night as an example. I’m always “safe order guy” meaning I get chicken tenders, steak, a burger, orange chicken etc… it’s not that I dislike other food, it’s that if I’m doing something crazy I want to buy It, prepare it, coke and serve it…be in control of the whole process.

She always orders the special, the catch of the day, the tasters menu, etc… and she invariably says “I don’t really like this, I should have just ordered what you got…let’s switch.” And she grabs my plate, sometimes I’m able to eat her food, sometimes it really is bad and then I go hungry. I’ve brought this up with her and she has up front told me she thinks it makes her “quirky and fun” and I’ve known this since dating her.

Last night we went to a sports bar after our league beach volley ball game and we’re starving. I just wanted food so I ordered chicken tenders and fries. This dingey SPORTS BAR was having a “snow crab special” which of course she wanted. I begged her to please just order something they couldn’t mess up and she accused me of being so “boring.” Food came, she crab legs looked, smelled and tasted like they were rotting wax and of course she didn’t want it and wanted my tenders. I finally stood up for myself and said no, she could send them back and order her own food.

Cue massive fight. She accused me of wasting food, of not cooperating with her and not “reading the room” whatever the meant . I told her that no I was not doing it this time. She started crying And demanded to go home. I said no I was so hungry I was eating my food. I think she got an Uber to a friends house and i have not seen her since.

I’m fed up. Is this breakup worthy and what should I do about this?


An insightful redditor posted:

Is she pulling this crap to post pictures on Instagram?

quote:

Here come the downvotes but yes. Her post that’s still up from last night is “crab legs at a sports bar in Arizona! Who dis…”


Update: my (25m) fiancé (26f) always orders exotic food she hates then forces me to switch meals with her. She had a melt down when I wouldn’t eat her crab legs from a sports bar on Saturday.

quote:

Edit: I called her parents, they haven’t heard from her either and me calling them now has them worried because they thought she was with me. I’m going to drive her important things over to their house and wash my hands of her. Whatever happens to her is of her own making at this point.


I don’t remember the exact timeline of how things went down on Sunday as far me posting but original was locked when she texted me at 6pm telling me that I owed her a huge apology for the way I behaved at the sports bar and the volley hall game (I still don’t know what that is about). I asked her where she was. She said she would tell me when I apologized. I said I was not going to apologize. She said she needed some time to thing whether this relationship was right for her. I told her that I just exhausted by so much of what she does that I couldn’t do it anymore.

She hung up and I haven’t heard from her since. She hasn’t even been by to pick up a change of clothes so I don’t know where she is. I cancelled all my credit cards we shared and opened a new back account and took half out of our shared but she hasn’t taken any money out or used her debit card so I guess I’m a little concerned since for all effect purposes she’s disappeared.

I’m not too worried now but If I haven’t heard anything by Friday I’ll call her parents. I kind of think she’s doing this disappearing act for attention.

Chemo-kitties can have “accidents” too!

My brother and his wife had a "destination wedding" but only because her family is from South America and they all would have had to get visas to come to the US, and we didn't have to get them to go to her mother's home country. Our family is really small but dad, stepmom, stepmom's brother and his wife, brother and his wife's friends, all made it.

Bonus that the side of the family we didn't want to attend, refused to go.

AITA for not letting my dad take my money box

quote:

Just to clarify, I just turned 19 and living with my parents. I am still financially dependant on my parents and I'm currently a full-time college student.

Recently, my dad has been obsessed with gold. He just learned that gold could be stored and could be exchanged with lots of money in the long run. So, he decided to collect the whole family's money to invest into gold.

My younger brothers reluctantly gave their money box despite their protests. My dad had pressured us to give our money box because gold is a good investment. I told him that if he's adamant on having gold, then use his own money. He said he did and now it's our part because it could benefit everyone in the family.

I knew this would happen eventually so I had hid my money box prior to the incident. My dad got mad at me and ever since then, he has been giving me snide remarks and made hurtful jokes at me.

Anyways, my mom told me that my dad used half of his savings including my mom's to invest in gold. We are now financially struggling due to this. My mom tried to persuade me into giving my money box but I declined.

Now, my parents are against me because of the money box and that they have the right to have it because I am under their care.

AITA for refusing to give my money box to my dad for our family's gold investment?

I can’t tell if the dad is (1) buying real gold and storing it in his basement as a mini Fort Knox, (2) buying “gold” futures on the markets, or (3) it’s total bullshit to cover up his gambling/drug/etc habit.

AITA for kicking out my pregnant little sister and her bf, after I heard over heard them refer to me as, “loser who still plays with toys”

quote:

The toys are actually action figures, and I just like them. I’m not hurting anyone.

I’m 27, My little sister is 20, their kid is 3 and I’m not sure how old her boyfriend is, but they were staying with me since they have nowhere else to go, after his parents kicked them out (ours died many years ago) upon finding out she was pregnant.

I let them come down here and move into my 1 bedroom apartment here in Sam Francisco. It’s actually big I think, not huge obviously but not super small like you’d expect, i gave them the 1 bedroom and slept the main room.

I have thousands of dollars worth of action figures in my room and some comic books too. I overheard my sister on the phone in the kitchen talking about how I was a, “man-child who still played with toys”and a, “loser who doesn’t even cook but just eats microwaveable stuff”.

I told them I didn’t want them there anymore, she was crying and he was yelling. My sister said she was sorry but I felt humiliated. I kicked them out, even though they’ve got a bay on the way, and no money

When I saw all of the notifications on tiktok and twitter, I knew something bad had happened. Is there any way of preventing this from happening again? I feel so guilty about this happening.

This person claims to have movie multiple personality disorder, where they switch between personalities like a phone switching apps and none of them are aware of or responsible for what the other ones do

DID stands for dissociative identity disorder which is a recognized thing but does not work like that

I'm personally for this because DID is formed from severe child abuse, including CSA. Even if it is fake than spreading mockeries of a legitimate mental illness is pretty lovely. I know the point of this thread is looking at trainwrecks, but I feel we could have some standards. Also, playing arm chair psychologist on figuring out who is actually a legit survivor of abuse with DID in order to mock them is incredibly stupid in this day and age. Save that poo poo for k*wi f*rms.
