My [42F] best friend [42F] told my husband [44M] I cheated, and he's leavingquote:I'll go right ahead and say the obvious: UPDATE: My [42F] best friend [42F] told my husband [44M] I cheated, he's leaving quote:Well, I did something I never thought I'd do. I unblocked Julia and reached out to her. We set up a time to meet for coffee at my mom's house when the place would be empty. We spoke for hours, though I can't say that it was like old times. I found myself stuck with a tenseness in my stomach. I realize I still hate her for what she did, I'll never be able to let loose with her like I once did, and that's a reality I have to accept. Anyway, reiterate the facts as she has told them. This is a train wreck eta: sorry for the lengthy posts, I'll try to stick to succinct stuff for a while

I have to wonder if OP and her ex had the same definition of "cheating" in mind when she answered the question.

From the comments. hillsb1 7 days ago So he's willing to leave you over you kidding someone else two decades ago? If you're not leaving anything out of the story, he was looking for an excuse to leave ThrowRA-after Op · 7 days ago He left me for 20 years of lying to his face. He also doesn't believe me when I say that the kissing is all that has happened. He thinks it's too convenient that I am only admitting to what Julia revealed, and nothing more. "ThrowRA-after Op14 points · 7 days ago No, we weren't a religious couple. And to be honest, I consider it as much cheating as anything else. I betrayed him and disrespected our relationship." So he's the loving nutjob who thinks she's tainted, and her friend is a lunatic who wants to gently caress her best friend's husband. A very sad mess.

AITA if I confront a guy for making GBS threads my bed after sex?quote:I (21F) had a little fun after a night of drinking with a guy who i’ll call “Tim” (21M) who happens to be close friends with my roommate. Just to clarify, the 2 of them do not have any romantic interest in one another. Him and I have hooked up before but he’s not really someone i’m very interested in… it pretty much boils down to a drunken hookup and nothing more. Anyways, after we were done I got up to go to the bathroom and saw a stain on my sheets. I just said out loud without much thought oh I must’ve gotten my period (it had ended earlier that day and sometimes it’s normal for it to reappear I guess). and TOUCHED the spot. not sure what went through my head to do that. Tim responds “that’s not your period” and I honestly didn’t really know what that meant. While I was in the bathroom I realized it wasn’t my period and went to go wash my hands when I suddenly smelled something disgusting. To my dismay I look down and there is poop on my wrist and the back of my hand. I’m not good at staying calm usually- but I was so shocked I was unable to fabricate words.

Good golly miss molly I hate this man. AITA For selling my wife's family heirloom? quote:I, 36 male and my wife, 24 female (emily) have been struggling with money for a while now and are behind on our mortgage. And on top of that we have a baby on the way. My wife's mom passed away a a few months ago and it was really hard on her because emily was really exited for her mom to meet the baby. However, emily got passed down her great great grandmother's wedding ring from her mom that is now worth 10 grand. It could help us out with our mortgage and I have been telling her but she says that it's a very important family heirloom and that she wants to keep it to pass down to our soon to be daughter. I know how much this ring means to her but I don't think she's being very logical in this situation. We need the money and she's just sitting there with a 10 thousand dollar ring on her finger. Once her fingers started swelling she started to put it on a ring holder because she didn't want to ruin the ring by having to cut it off. I took this as an opportunity to do the right thing. One night I took the ring while she was sleeping and drove out to a pawn shop and the guy told me it was worth at least 10,800 dollars so I sold it. I came back home with an envelope full of money thinking that the next morning my wife would be glad that we now have some extra money, but I was wrong. The next morning she was looking for her ring panicking, and she asked me if I had seen it I told her what I did and showed her the money. She asked me if I actually did it and I nodded. She bursted into tears and started yelling at me and saying how much of an rear end in a top hat I was and how important that ring was to her. I tried to explain how much the ring money would help, but she continued crying. She's been crying for the past 3 days and won't speak to me. Her entire family is furious with me and keeps calling me and rear end in a top hat. So reddit, AITA for selling my wife's ring or did I do the right thing?

My uncle “”modified”” my oven and it ended up setting itself ablaze and burning most of my kitchen. Can I sue him for damages?quote:Hey all. I’m from Florida and recently my uncle has been pestering me about the fact I don’t have a gas stove because they’re “more powerful”. So he took it upon himself to come to my house while I was at work, take the oven back to his garage, do a variety of “upgrades” to the wiring, and it ended up scorching most of my kitchen upon using it. Home owners insurance is refusing to cover the damage due to this being a negligent fire. Perhaps it’s me being insanely stressed by 10 am Monday due to work, but thinking about a souped up oven immediately ablaze is cracking me up

AITA for insisting on calling my coworkers the wrong names?quote:I’m not going to sound repentant here, because I honestly don’t believe I’m in the wrong (and much as it’s driving me crazy, I also think it’s pretty funny). But at the same time, I’m being written up at work for this - and I’d like to hear some outside opinions before I go into my HR meeting in case I’m blinded by my feelings and what I actually need is a slap back to reality.

Hughlander posted:AITA for letting my parents visit me? There’s a study that’s been making the rounds lately about how most liberals would never date a republican but republicans would be fine dating a liberal, that has all the usual suspects up in arms about “so much for the tolerant left” et cetera. This post is a perfect example of that dynamic. His ex is an entitled spoiled snowflake brat, but also how dare she break up with me just because of my personality and the people with whom I choose to associate? She’s not allowed to do that!

PetraCore posted:It sounds like they both had a lot of personal stuff going on and Jess just noticed OP a lot more than OP noticed her and got into a cycle of comparing herself negatively to OP. Like OP probably was a raging rear end in a top hat to Jess sometimes but it sounds like she was a raging rear end in a top hat to everyone? I actually ran into a person who was horrible to me in high school, but she either didn't remember it, or thought I didn't, because she was rather nice and chatty and not at all the bitch she had been years back. It's possible that I remember her being worse than she was, or that she simply forgot how horrible she was, or a combo of both. But seeing as I was in a customer service slot and she was the customer, she easily could have made my life horrible, and didn't. AITA for making my 4 y/o help me with household chores? quote:Just some context before I state my problem. I am Asian, ethnically chinese to be exact. I am a second generation immigrant in the US. I grew up helping my mother do chores since I was 3/4 years old. Just basic things around the house , at the age you can't do the "heavy work" any way. OP did mention in later comments she would teach a son the same things. Honestly for little kids, even sweeping can be a game for them. And they don't understand that putting toys away is a chore and not a game, if you do it right. Set a timer, play some music, have them run about putting everything in baskets, little kids love that.

Fatty posted:There's also the fact a specialist hospital is likely to be in a major city. Why not spend some time exploring this far away city he's never been to? Not everyone wants to be worldly. I would consider this a punishment if it was forced one me. I got taken on a cruise holiday when I was 15. My parents couldn't figure out why I spent the entire trip in my bunk window reading. Or when I(underage) went to vegas and pocked all the money they told me to go spend in arcades or performances to see and just spent the entire time watching TV and reading in the hotel room. Now if i had a sister with eye cancer, I'd go to be supportive while living off my phone to keep myself entertained and say im fine anytime anyone asks. I'd still hate every moment of it. Kid's a dickhead for all the wrong reasons, also a dickhead for all the right reasons.

You know those little plastic vacuums for kids that have a transparent plastic bubble with colorful plastic balls bouncing around? One day I decided it was time to use the big vacuum (I think I was five) so I threw a glass jar of my father's jelly beans on the ground because that just made sense to me.
