I love that Prenup Guy is hypocritical and greedy enough to want whichever version of having/not having a prenup leaves him with the most cash while also being stupid enough to push the issue in such an obvious way.

He could have sat on this new knowledge until he could come up with a more subtle approach than "now that I know you make more, I want some." But nah, he just immediately clued his spouse in to the fact that he assumed he would always be more successful and didn't actually care about the principle involved in the prenup he insisted on.

I guess I just don't understand how he thought that conversation was going to play out. There are plenty of valid reasons to get a prenup, but wanting to cancel one just because your wife has money now seems like an admission that you didn't trust her but think she should trust you.

I tend not to believe this is real because of the “silicone” valley typo, which someone actually working in tech just would not make, but I know calling stuff fake really adds nothing to the discussion so that’s all I’ll say about that.

As for the comment itself, it’s a brutal put down but you can really just *think* that in your head and then you realize you don’t need to say it out loud. Sure, Josh sucks, but that was mean as hell to actually say to someone’s face. This read to me like the context (subtext?) is already there, Josh knows you are doing way better than him, and that’s why Josh is offering unsolicited crypto investment advice and also having his mind exploded by the the idea of being able to afford two residences.

I have been mad enough to say stuff that mean and I have said things that mean, but punching down will always leave a dirty taste in your mouth and You’ll always feel better if you walk away.

But on the other hand, I wouldn’t want to hang out with Josh the Joe Rogan podcast listener either. So they’re both assholes.

(throwaway in case my family uses reddit)

I (17) have noticed my mom (F48) take painkillers every day for the past few years. I think I began to take note of it when I was around 10-13. I used to think it was just because she had a lot of medical issues, which caused her to be in pain all the time. However, even when she got her conditions treated, she continued to take them.[/b][quote]

Recently, she began taking two 500mg pills of Tylenol every day. It’s more than she used to. She claims her feet and back hurt from her job, and I don’t doubt her. I just don’t think she needs 1000mg of Tylenol for her pain.

When my sister confronted her about it, my mom got really angry and became passive aggressive.

I’m scared that she’s actually addicted psychologically to painkillers. So WIBTA if I took away her painkillers and only gave them to her if she really needed them?

EDIT: I get what you all are saying. Thank you for the responses. I realize now that I am very ignorant on the topic of OTC meds but another reason (which I should’ve originally included in the main post but I was afraid of her getting possibly reported) I thought she was really “addicted” was because when she doesn’t take them for a few days (usually when we’re out) she gets really aggressive. She starts being physical when my sisters or I mess up, or she’ll become extremely agitated.

EDIT #2: I’m sorry to anyone that I offended. Next time, I’ll educate myself and research before I assume anything. I realize that it wasn’t my place to assume and I understand that I am not her doctor, nor do I know what kind of pain she’s suffering from.

So my(20M) and girlfriend(21F) go to a college that has a decently sized art program. I’m not overly involved in that side of things (I’m a computer science major), and my girlfriend is a English literature major so she’s right on the edge of the art program.

A close friend of mine is an art major. His program offers an optional “art class” sort of thing where they meet 4 times a month to paint a model and they can bring the painting to one of their major classes for extra credit. This class isn’t required and as far as I know most people do it for fun.

My friend is a great artist and I’ve seen a lot of his work and it’s always amazing and incredibly detailed. Like almost photorealistic and he hands them up in his dorm.

And here comes the problem for me. My girlfriend told me this week that she signed up and was selected to e the model for the first 4 classes of the semester. I didn’t have a problem with this, until I realized this would mean my friend would be seeing my girlfriend naked. Painting her, and hanging up a picture of my naked girlfriend in his room.

I asked her first and told her I wasn’t very comfortable with specifically my friend seeing her naked and said I’d feel more comfortable if she didn’t do it. She said no and told me I was making this out to be sexual when it wasn’t.

I told her that it may not be sexual, but I still don’t want my friend to have essential a nude of her hanging in a place where me and the rest of my friends go to hang out regularly. If he paints her, then it’s likely all of my friends are going to see my girlfriend nude which is a huge problem for me. My girlfriend told me I was being overly insecure.

So then I went to my friend as a guy. I assumed that since he was another man he would get what I was saying better than a woman could. I asked him if he could just miss the first 4 classes. I explained to him the situation and he said no as it’s art and he gets no sexual pleasure from seeing the models naked (usually it’s old men in their 40s) but I doubt he won’t get some level of arousal from seeing my girlfriend nude.

So I asked him if he could just not hang my girlfriends painting up and he got pissed. He accused me of “pornifying his art” and he had the right to put it wherever. He ALSO told my girlfriend and notes they both think I’m an rear end in a top hat.

AITA?

My wife and I have a good relationship but I know there are things I do that annoy her. I never really learned about cleaning until I met her and it’s not something I’m good at so she does a lot of the cleaning. I spend a lot of time on my phone (Reddit usually) and I love gaming. Another thing she hates is when she’s telling me something while I’m on my phone and I don’t make eye contact. I’m usually able to repeat back to her what she says but it still annoys her that I don’t stop what I’m doing to look at her when she’s talking to me. I’m trying to get better at those things and I admit that I’m guilty there

So this morning we had just gotten done eating breakfast and were still sitting at the table. She started talking to me while I was reading something on Reddit and then I accidentally started playing a video. I stopped the video right away but as soon as she heard it, she got up and as she was leaving said "this is why married women end up throwing themselves in other men’s arms. Because they’re tired of feeling lonely and unheard" and she walked away

What is this supposed to mean? Is this a threat that she will cheat on me?

I can see not wanting to hang out at a place that has nude art of your girlfriend if you friends are the kind of dudes who'd go "are those your girlfriend's titties, nice, i'm just gonna give a detailed account of my view on her nips," and there's at least one guy like that in this guy's friend group. Maybe it could be a nice learning experience and they realize that not only does everyone have a naked body, they're pretty much interchangable once you've seen more than a few.

AITA for asking my friend to not go to his painting class since my girlfriend would be modeling?

I've thought about doing nude modelling, but the fear of someone pointing me out in real life outside the studio, when I work a customer service job, is enough to hold me back. The artists can feel whatever pleasure they want, but I doubt most of them do. They aren't making porn, and gently caress, even the dude directing or recording the porn probably doesn't get sexually aroused by it much if at all. Work is work.

I have a mobility/pain disorder. I have rheumatoid arthritis. My fingers curl inward, I have a hard time gripping things, using zippers and buttons. I’ve had this my entire adult life so people are aware I struggle with mobility and pain.

We have a family friend from childhood (he was an adult, we were kids) who would wrap our presents in boxes filled with shredded garbage and wrapped in wire. Once you started opening the gift it made a mess and it would take hours. My mother hated it, my father thought it was hysterical and we’d usually end up getting punished for not being appreciative of the gift. As we got older he would include stuff in the boxes like dead bugs and dirt and once wrapped the whole thing in sharp wire and loose nails, resulting in one of my siblings getting cut and needing to go to urgent care on Christmas Day. This is all about 15/20 years ago. The other problem is that the gifts were usually very nice: electronics, expensive gift cards, event tickets with great seats. But it was debasing and humiliating getting them open. Any holiday or birthday involving this guy was awful.

This person kind of popped back into the periphery again and is dating one of my older cousins (still a huge age difference though). He went all out gifting this year. He wrapped everything normally except my gift. He put the box between two pieces of plywood and screwed and bolted them together, resulting in needing fine motor skills or a saw to get it apart. He poured concrete in certain spots and if you shake it, you can hear broken glass. I didn’t open the gift, despite some cajoling from some of the people who thought it was funny. Later I quietly put it in his car for him to take home.

My cousin and my aunt were furious and saying I’m being TA and ungrateful and that my hands “are fine” and that I need to let it go. They gave me the box back saying I’ll love the gift. My husband tried to open it with tools at home a few days later but couldn’t. We discussed it and threw it out, unopened. Hubs was actually really pissed.

Yesterday my cousin calls me and wanted to know how my husband and I liked the gift, I said we threw it out because we couldn’t get it open. Turns out it was a pretty pricey spa get away package for the both of us this past weekend. She lost her poo poo and demanded I pay them back. The whole thing brought back a lot of really upsetting memories from my childhood and my husband had asked that we go NC with anyone he’s involved with.

I don’t know if I’m TA here, history tells me I am. I just feel gross.

My dad is married to Sarah. She's only a year older than me and for this reason, it feels weird to treat her like one of the parents at my wedding. We had planned to get my dad and my fiance's parents a gift from us to them to thank them for being amazing parents. I also plan to leave a flower in front of a photo of my mom as her gift/thanks.

I wasn't really wanting to do anything for Sarah but then she made a comment about how she was feeling disrespected because she wasn't invited dress shopping with me and because she wasn't being talked to about stuff like my dad was. Then she found the gift for my future MIL when she stopped by to tell me all this and asked what it was for. I told her it was just a gift and she said if we're doing the gift for parents thing I better not leave her out.

But she's not my parent. She's hardly even older than me.
