AITA for calling my wife’s friend who dumped off our cat in the woods an idiot and telling her she shouldn’t even have kids quote:My wife and I recently heard to relocate quickly due to a major family loss and have had to find fosters for our 3 cats until our house is ready to move in. However we did have a cat we were in the process of rehoming. A friend of my wife’s offered to take her to the humane society for us since I am having a major surgery this week and my wife was moving our entire house on her own while I was working out my last few weeks until my surgery at work. Basically we trusted this friend to take our cat we had been trying to rehome (she was rescued it was never intended to be permanent) and she dumped her in the middle of the woods somewhere. Then told me she felt like she was neglecting the cat because she kept her in a carrier for two days… after she had told us she’d be taking her the morning after she picked her up from us. I told her that she was an absolute idiot, who didn’t need to own animals or have a kid (she’s pregnant) if she could willingly dump and animal who had lived most of their life inside never having experienced the elements. I told my wife she needs to cut her off and never speak to her again because she won’t even tell us where they left her. I was told by the friends brother and sister in law I was over reacting that she was a cat with claws and she would be fine, two of my other friends also told me I went too far calling her an idiot and saying she shouldn’t even be having kids let alone owning animals. AITA for saying what I said and telling my wife she can’t be her friend anymore? (My wife is also very upset) Who the gently caress needs to ask if you're the rear end in a top hat here?

Mustn't upset the pregnant woman. He is a bit out of line telling his wife she can't be friends with her; she should come to that conclusion on her own.

An uplifting saga from legaladvice My ex-fiancee is threatening to sue me for ownership of a ring that has been in my family for generations, saying that it "automatically goes to the man". Is this true? Alabama. quote:
op posted:He is, indeed, hopelessly stupid. He's still insisting that he didn't cheat on me, his was merely "opening [his] side of the relationship". The day before I left him he told me he wanted an open relationship, and I totally respect polyamory, but since I'm not polyamorous, I don't want an open relationship. He said that that was great news because he didn't want a "fully open" relationship, he wanted me to stay faithful to him but look the other way if he slept with someone else. I was flabberghasted that this educated, formerly apparently kind and normal man could be such a loving moron. I told him if that was what he wanted we were done. He actually had the balls to say, "no, we're not. Love you babe, see you tomorrow!" When I got to his house the next day to get my things, he was loving one of his co-workers. On the kitchen table I built him from scratch. And tried to tell me it was no big deal, since they'd actually been together for months and I'd been "happy the whole time". Update op posted:I wanted to say thanks for all of the advice and support I got when I posted on here a while back. I was in a pretty lovely place, and I can't describe how awesome it was to have literally hundreds of people telling me what a pathetic douche-chill my ex is. op posted:No, he surely is not. Obviously my ex can rot in whichever circle of hell is designated for whores (I want to say 2nd but wasn't the most enthusiastic Dante student), but his parents are awesome people, and it makes me sick that they're so torn up about how terribly their son acted. There were a lot of "where did I go wrong"s tossed around when they called me. His dad was so mad he took the table back and told him he didn't deserve it. [emphasis in original]

Mx. posted:AITA for telling my boyfriend he was embarrassing us when he started sobbing in the Vet clininc hallway? I imagine I'm very late in responding to this (cos just seen it) but.. My beloved cat had kidney issues. We think it was because she was a rescue kitten from a scrapyard, who had probably been exposed to pollution of the heavy kind. But she was beautiful. When she first came to us, she was scared, wary and not having a good time. We worked with her and she trusted us. She got ill - we spent a fortune, but the time came when we knew she was done. She was hiding from us, not well and we just knew. The first injection didn't quite work, so she had to be taken to another room for the finish. I refused to let them take her and carried her to her end in my arms, absolutely sobbing my heart out. The waiting room we had to cross looked really uncomfortable with a 6'4" british crying bloke cradling his dying cat in his arms and I couldn't give a poo poo. (Socially, large british men don't cry - cool thing is if they do, the british don't know how to deal with it and just get baffled). She died. I took her in her basket and just was broken, crouched down in the carpark. Gutted. And I still have no shame. I loved her. She should have had longer. And go gently caress yourself, you evil person who thinks that someone shouldn't express care & love. Why care then?

You heard of sister wives? AITA for being annoyed at my mom for adopting my ex-wife? quote:My ex-wife Tara (F32) and I (M36) were together for 8 years, and married for 5. My wife's biological family died when she was very young, she was in an out of the foster care system for most of her childhood but never adopted, and had therefore never had a family. How about sister-ex-wives?

AITA for trying to explain my thoughts at the time?quote:My best friend got divorced a few years ago, and when they did child support, he insisted on a DNA test on his three kids. It was his oldest that came back, not his. It really messed with his head and mine. I kept insisting my wife get a DNA test of all of our kids. She said no. One night we got in a bad fight about it. She left me with the kids and filed for divorce. The DNA test thing ate at my mind for years, and finally, when we got one, all the kids were mine, but it destroyed my marriage and any relationship I would have with my kids. I stopped visiting because of my guilt. I saw my oldest boy at my mother’s. I didn’t realize he was there and I started crying because I hadn’t seen him in forever. He refused to talk to me. I tried to apologize for my past, and he cut me off. He said my insanity, the DNA test has made us all 100%, not you kids, and we all hate you. I never felt like they would feel that way, even as adults. I tried to explain my mental health and situation. My son just walked away as I told him why I did those things. My son said I still don’t get it, and I’m still peace of poo poo if I try to defend my actions of years ago. My mom said it’s time for me to own up and say what I did was wrong with no excuses. I don’t think I was a bad person. I was confused and upset at the time. The whole situation still makes me angry to this day, and it has destroyed any peace that I have had since I live alone and can’t open up to people now.

Soylent Pudding posted:AITA for trying to explain my thoughts at the time? easy fix "I went nuts when my best friend got betrayed and became delusional paranoid it happened to me too, I was wrong and regret every moment of it and will work for the rest of my life to make up for that" No he's still there trying to argue why he was right to do all those things and so sad no one understands him. Also the little bit about "I avoided my children after that" goes unremarked like loving duh you disappear from the kid's lives don't expect to come around years later and think they'll want to accept your reasons why.

AITA for kicking MIL's stepdaughter out of my wedding?quote:I've always gotten along great with MIL's stepdaughter "Maddie" so when I got engaged I asked her to be in the wedding party. MIL and I don't get along so great but she isn't an awful JNMIL by any means. Maddie and MIL have had a bad relationship in the past (MIL broke up her parent's marriage) but Maddie recently had a heart to heart with her dad about how he was pressured into marrying her mom, stayed out of guilt, and feels no one cared about his happiness. Maddie felt bad (and he gave a bit of an ultimatum about how his kids talk to MIL) and she gets along with MIL better these days. top comment posted:I’m sorry why are you marrying a man that pissed on your head?

WoodrowSkillson posted:because it violated gender norms and she can't handle it. A man showed intense emotion freely, and she now sees him as less of a man as a result. Fair enough. I'll say show me a man who's scared of crying in public and I'll show you a coward. I don't give a drat if you're bothered by my crying about losing my companion. Who the gently caress are you, that I should care what you think? It is baffling that the whole masculine thing is don't be scared or have feelings - if you do, then we'll try and make you cry and have feelings. Surely logic would apply at some point. Tho' I will admit that me being large and apparently scary does me a lot of protection value - people generally don't criticise the big bastards. I'll also state that if I saw someone bigger than me crying - I ain't going near that. Let them do what they need to - they must need to do so. It's very odd that men can't be allowed to be human, and we know it isn't healthy. But social norms, eh? Pity we can't see the ramifications..
