quote:I was literally begging this man to let this pussy save Christmas  e: goddamnit AITA: I bought my girlfriend a $800 bag and may have caused her to have a seizure quote:My girlfriend (25F) who worked as a veterinarian nurse has had a rough year. She was diagnosed with epilepsy 10 years ago but her seizures have suddenly become very frequent and she was told by her doctor that she has to stop working until they can get her epilepsy under control again. I (28M) didn’t want her to eat through her savings so I have been financially supporting her as I work a decent paying job. This has made her incredibly depressed because she loved her job and she hates depending on others. "I'm having the worst Christmas ever, and it's all because I did something I explicitly told my partner I wouldn't do! What gives???"

Yeah no that's not what this is. We're not doing gifts and someone shows up with a gift? Possible rear end in a top hat, really depends on if they have Mr Rogers level vibes of good spirits and aren't flexing. Her response is totally disproportionate and blaming a seizure on him isn't cool at all. That's projecting like gently caress on a mostly innocent gesture. From the person already supporting your rear end.

AITA for calling out my mom about her gift giving methods when I was a kid?quote:We had our usual immediate family gathering for the gift opening and the kids enjoyed. My mom was recounting how she would always give me what I wanted but she only stopped after I was grown and she changed religions. I did a double-take and said, "you showed me what you'd gotten me but I never actually got it." She argued she gave me what I wanted and had pictures to prove. quote:She didn't get the money back. She has given me items as an adult that I'd wanted when I was like 7 after she cleaned out her closets. woof

Our daughter came out to us that she was bisexual and was attracted to one of her friends. She told us that she did not want to tell anyone else in the family. I let her know that I would always be supportive of her relationships and wanted her to be happy. My wife has been having trouble accepting the thought of our daughter dating girls. Why the gently caress is HE sleeping on the couch?

Unless the gf is really into handbags and probably Coach in particular I have a hard time seeing an $800 bag as being anything except flexing. She already feels guilty about getting support from him, telling her not to bother with gifts and then giving her an expensive luxury item is absolutely salt in the wound and I have a hard time buying that this guy didn't know what he was doing.

Na gently caress this poo poo. Coach only has one bag that is over $800 and it’s not even actually $800 because coach is always on sale. Absolutely ridiculous and even more TA for making me look this dumbass poo poo up.

Coach purses are not considered to be in the same category as other luxury goods like Gucci or Louis Vuitton or whatever. It is the "starter" or "everyday" luxury.

We have coach stores here and import tariffs don't kick in until it's over $1,000. So it's more like $500USD.

AITA for doing an "irish goodbye" at family Christmas after my uncle made off color comments?quote:I'm a lesbian. I was at family Christmas and my family was talking about my auntie's boss at work, who had tried to get people to work on Christmas. I asked if she had family, a husband or wife perhaps? I was asking because I couldn't imagine someone with a partner wanting to go to the office on Christmas day. I really didn't give a second thought about the "or wife" part of my comment. homophobia: not rude or disrespectful not putting up with homophobia: extremely rude, disrespectful

As someone whose mom decided to out me for Christmas, this unfortunately makes a lot of sense to me. It's obvious to me that what's more important is dealing with the fact that she is hurt from being told that she hurt me, rather than me being hurt.

Collapsing Farts posted:why do these people marry folks that are scared of gays A lot of people keep it under wraps, or later get broke brains. Also normal people don't ask each other questions like 'So what do you think about the Holocaust?' during dates, so when someone turns round with 'Hitler was right about the jews, he just took it a little too far' it's too late if you've made a committment like marriage or a kid.

It's not a phobia thing, at least not in my case. It's a narcissist thing. She wanted to have a coming out and I didn't so she did it without me. I feel like I did something wrong by being outed. That's how they make you feel.

My husband's direct family are all wonderful people, but his extended family is pretty WASP-ey. I've had pretty good results using horror to quell any homophobic results. After the second time someone opens a door to see me directly behind it holding a knife, the homophobic remarks and objections drop sharply.

Solenna posted:If he didn't get her anything for her birthday, and they didn't discuss spending at all, I'm not really sure what she was expecting? For sure it's disappointing but it's like being disappointed that your un-housebroken dog poo poo on the floor. It sounds like she's not willing to accept that he just sucks hardcore and doesn't care about her at all. I wonder if she had some kind of justification like "Well, birthdays aren't really his thing, but he loves Christmas, so he will be sure to get me a present then, because he loves receiving presents!" It's really hard for some people to accept that others can just be selfish and have no problem receiving without giving anything.

It still tears me up that my friend only receives presents at her birthday or Xmas if I send her one. Her husband of ten years just doesn't give. He WANTS and expects presents but the idea of doing anything for her is dumb, to him. AITA for gifting my boyfriend things I got for free/made myself and not something with my own money? quote:I (f26) have been dating my boyfriend (m27) for about 10 months so this was our first Christmas together. For context, we both make a good income. I also have a passion hobby of making candles, which I often gift to friends and family. Anyone who does SASS knows that homemade stuff is usually loving awesome. I still have the pleco cross-stitch and snake painting goons made me (I would have kept the bee pinata but it fell apart). Every year my family friend gives us a pack of their homemade cookies, and we look forward to that every year. The idea that you have to buy a gift for it to "count" is some bullshit. Though part of me is always worried when I DO homemade gifts (I made a bunch of dirty pour paintings for xmas gifts for next year) that people will sneer or think I gave them garbage.
