AITA for refusing to go to my dads house on the weekends after i found out he throws bdsm parties at his house?

quote:

Before i start i know this sounds bad but hear me out. Also i have posted on here before. One last thing, i am dyslexic so excuse any mistakes.

I (15 y/o female) decided to stop visiting my dad (50 year old male) after i found an ad for sex parties at his house. When i turned 10 years old i became allowed to make decisions on when i want to visit my dad because of my parents divorce years prior, most of the time i kept my normal visiting schedule until i turned 13. I went to my dads house with his new girlfriend and all was okay for a while until one day he left a door open upstairs that was usually locked, at first i used to think it was a closet however when i looked i saw multiple, 'toys' you could say. Another time i saw a poster in his bathroom asking to only flush toilet paper down, it was signed the name of the party's social media name. I looked it up on insta and was shocked to find an ad for a purge themed bdsm party at my dads house. It mentioned the two large guest bedrooms upstairs for 'private time' i scrolled through the account more and i felt sick. I by no means judge my dad for this as i myself am interested in strange things, what grossed my out was the thought of multiple complete strangers paying my dad to be able to do the nasty on the bed that he made me sleep on. I found all this out when i looked it up at my moms house since i memorized the name and i cried. Another thing to note is that he had a human sized cage in his living room, and condoms scattered about. Like i said before it's completely fine if my dad is into that stuff but i don't think he should have that around his kids, especially his daughter, i was 13 at the time!. I realized that multiple strangers may have gotten pregnant on my bed and told my mom i didn't want to stay overnight at his house anymore, my mom agreed and i stopped spending the night.

Now recently afted 2 years of not sleeping at his house he finally got upset at my mom of all people, and angrily asked why i haven't visited him in so long, i was never brave enough to tell him what i found but my mom was and explained it to him. My dad exploded, he yelled at my mom and berated me, he called mom some name i don't want to say, then called her a selfish bitch for keeping me from him, my mom reminded him that i was the one who made the decision. My dad went on to call me a brat and selfish.

I feel bad for getting my mom involved especially since my dad can like whatever he wants, but i dont want to sleep at his house with all that laying around.

Am i the rear end in a top hat?

No kid, it doesn't sound bad at all.

Not gonna lie I was put off for a bit but next day, I was ready to laugh about it and move on. She’s blocked my number and my accounts on every social media platform. I went to her house and her mom said she was told to not let me in if I come by. Not sure what to do now. Should I text her friends or is that too far?

AITA for telling my ex to stop giving my daughter lunch money

quote:

I have a daughter, Emily (16f) with my ex. She chose to live with my ex and his wife and kids the majority of the time because she has to share her room with her step sister Laura (15) at my house.

My ex gives Emily $25 a week to buy lunch. Emily's and Laura's school is down the street from a lot of restaurants so, instead of buying school lunches, she leaves campus to buy herself and her friends lunch.

The problem is she sees Laura at school and won't get her anything even though she gets her friends lunch all the time. I talked to Emily about it and she said it's because her friends pay her back and Laura can't.

Emily knows we can't afford to give Laura that kind of money and I know she works part time and gets an extra allowance from her dad so I asked her to occasionally buy Laura lunch to make her feel better. She refused.

I called her dad and hoped that as a parent, he's understand what I was trying to do but he said Laura's feelings are not his or Emily's responsibility and that if she wants to buy lunch off campus, she should get a part time job like Emily. I tried to explain that Laura is in sports and she has ADHD and depression so it would be hard for her to work but he said that's my and my husband's problem and hung up.

Laura came home crying the other day because Emily came back with food from her favorite restaurant and didn't give her anything or offer to share so I called my ex and told him that he needs to stop giving Emily lunch money and have her make her own lunches because she was hurting Laura.

He refused to listen to me and told Emily that I'm telling him to not let her go out at lunch because of Laura and Emily hasn't spoken to me except to say that she's going to stay at her dad's full time for a while.

AITA for telling my husband's female friend "He might be your best friend but you're not his"?

quote:

Long story short my husband has one of those female friends, I'll call her Sarah. Her and I get along fine, but every once in awhile she'll make a comment or sit a little too close or touch him a lot, or compete with me on how close the are, or how well she knows him. She's one in a big group of about 11 friends. I've talked to my husband about her several times but it's so many added up micro-actions that it's hard to tell her off for one singular thing, without looking crazy.

Well this past weekend, the group of friends got together for the first time since we're now all boosted. My husband and I eloped a few weeks ago and this was the first time most were seeing us since. Sarah came right up and got in our face as the group was congratulating us to tell my husband how disappointed she was in him for not telling her about our ceremony, not inviting her, not even sending her a photo. He told her nobody except our parents knew, nobody was invited, and we don't have our professional photos back. This girl started SOBBING. How could he do this to her, that she wanted him to be her Man of Honor when she gets married (she's single), and he didn't even invite her to his, and their friendship now "needed some serious TLC to recover". This is in front of a whole group. I couldn't take it anymore and said "He might be your best friend, but you're not his, and this was between ME and HIM, you were not even a consideration."

There were so frosty "ooo's" from the crowd and she left the house. The crowd is split. They were all my husband's friends before I came into the picture and some think it was uncalled for and that I should've just let my husband handle it. I was mad in the moment but now I don't know. Too far?

TLDR; I told my husband's female friend she wasn't his best friend and embarrassed her in front of all her friends, AITA?

I'm angry jealous at my sisters engagement.

quote:

My sister (30F) just got engaged. Her fiance (35M) took her on a vacation, picked out her ring she wanted, got down on one knee, and gave this most romantic little tangent about being meant for each other. Exactly what she deserves. She knew ahead of time that he was proposing bc she found the ring and I was so excited with her!

Until he proposed. And this bitter, angry, jealous feeling filled me up. She's been with him for 2 years. I've (25F) been with my fiance(40M) for 5. My fiance/boyfriend/baby daddy and I have a kid together and bought a home together. He proposed 3 years ago. I was in my PJs taking care of our baby. He walks in the house after work, sat next to me, and asked "If I ask you to marry me, would you say yes?" And...well without going into many extras that was my proposal. 2 years later he basically admits he just wants a fiance and not really a wife. It explains why he never wanted to set a date, book a venue, nothing. I was the one who told his friends and family and changed his FB status. I'm undeniably bitter about our engagement and his lack of effort, but I didn't expect I'd be so upset by my own sisters.

My fiance's brother got engaged about 6 months ago and I wasn't jealous. I don't understand why I'm so angry jealous about my sister. I want her to be happy. She deserves it. Why am I so bitter about it? Is it bc they set a date the same day they got engaged? Idk what to do. I've told her congrats etc but I can't be as enthusiastic for her as she deserves and that's making me feel worse.

Eventually I went to his house for a keg party and I asked to see his model collection. I went up there and it was ALL Japanese stuff from WW2 and the Hellcat was still in the box, a year later. We knew he loved Japan because he was a big anime guy too but this was pretty on the nose. He even told me I could take my Hellcat back because it 'didn't fit'. Yikes.

A different friend of mine had a real sensitive girlfriend. We were playing the boardgame Axis and Allies and I volunteered to be Germany (they start with lots of tanks!). She gave me the side eye and said no one should 'want' to be the Nazis. Then during the game I lost my battleship and slammed the table yelling 'Nein! Nein! Nein!

my [18F] boyfriend [18M] would rather rather watch pornography than have sex with me


quote:

he is very affectionate and we spend most of our days together. he says he doesn't have a high sex drive but watches pornography and masturbates almost daily when i'm gone. he used to initiate but now he doesn't bother at all. i was on his computer one night and i saw that he went on pornhub right after taking me home one night. it makes me incredibly insecure... he complains about women that wear a lot of makeup and that are "slutty" yet he has no problem watching these same women on the hub. he watches whatever he has complained about. he wants me to be the mother of his children but watches nothing but stepmom and milf pornography. maybe he can't see me in a sexual way anymore.

it triggered the relapse of my ED and i'm starting to resent him for it. i want to be mature about my own insecurity but paired with everything else it feels sort of hurtful. he also claims to have a low sex drive and has told me that he's attracted to me but i just don't believe it anymore. otherwise he's a good boyfriend, but something about the situation has made me very uneasy and upset...

TL;DR: my boyfriend says he has a low sex drive but watches pornography daily and only chooses to masturbate at this point.

[Indiana] Is it illegal to own and operate a medieval siege device?

quote:

I realize that this sounds ridiculous, and it is.

My dad just inherited about 10 acres of land in rural Indiana. After watching too many History Channel shows and YouTube videos, he announced that he was going to build a trebuchet "that could throw a Honda."

I thought he was just talking, but now he's had lumber delivered and he's actually planning it out.

There are houses to the west and south, across the highway, and a church to the east. To the north, which he refers to as "downrange" there is a house and barn about 1000 feet away.

If my dad manages to build this drat thing, what legal liability or risks is he incurring?

AITA for not liking Indian food?

What a dipshit.

I loving hate this guy and everyone like him. There are shitloads of non-spicy Indian food. This motherfucker extols the virtues of tacos but thinks the entirety of Indian food is gonna burn his widdle sphincter? She's even willing to cook 2 separate meals each time? One day hopefully he will be old and look back on this with dismay.



Story Time:

I did a year abroad in university in Japan. I stayed with a host family. They had a bunch of kids, including a daughter my own age. Previously she had just done 1 year in the US at a school in the Mid-West. There she joined the Japanese Club and met a weeb who became her boyfriend like a week before she left. So they had been maintaining a long distance relationship for almost a year and then he went to go visit them RIGHT before I arrived for my own extended stay. Our visits overlapped by like 3 days.

During my 'welcome dinner' they cooked a big elaborate feast and he sat there eating delivery pizza. I tucked into every dish and asked for seconds and it was all absolutely amazing. The Japanese are very polite and wouldn't say anything directly but I could see that I had won a crushing victory. The little kids in the family told me later that of the 2 weeks he spent there that he ate only fast food for every single meal, with the exception of ramen which he tolerated.

Within a week the whole family was openly encouraging the daughter to dump this guy and get with me. So, thank you to the picky manbabies out there for helping me get laid.

Imagine being such a buzzkill narc that when you hear your dad is building a trebuchet on 10 acres (!) of land your only thoughts are how to ruin it for him rather than offer to help or provide him a list of things it would be fun to hurl.

When I lived in Japan a British guy came to the next town over teach English as a replacement for an American gal that got homesick and left. The regional head of the private company that was filling the slot for the BOE invites this guy to his house for dinner and introduced him to his 20year old daughter.

Then he said, “There was a problem with the housing and we will get you an apartment next Monday.”

The next Friday the manager called him up and said, “Would you like to take my daughter on a date tomorrow? I think it would be a good idea for you. I’ll set something up.”

Within a year they were married and she was pregnant. What is it with Japanese dads and trying to set their daughters up with foreigners?

"Seriously it's fine. If we ever have kids they'll create situations that are ten times grosser and we won't even remember this. In the morning let's just talk about why you did that really gross thing. We'll figure out if it was a physiological or psychological response and we'll work from there."

AITA for wanting my sister to pay me back for the cans her kids stole from my shed?

quote:

This happened yesterday. When I came home from work I noticed my shed door was open and the padlock that I used to keep it shut was broken. And I had a LOT of bags full of soda cans in there. I tend to drink a lot of soda, so I've built up a lot of cans. And I was going to cash them in at the bottle drop soon. There was more than just my cans missing from the shed too. I was missing some gardening tools, a machete, and a gas can. I went to check my security cameras and early in the morning right after I left for work I saw my three nephews break into my shed using a hammer to smash the lock, and taking the cans, as well as the other stuff. I called my sister and she and her husband denied their kids did it. Till I showed up at their house with the footage from my cameras.

They were furious with their kids for robbing me and skipping school to do it. I got the other stuff back. (The gas can was emptied though) But they'd already cashed all of the cans. I wanted the money from the cans and my nephews had already spent it all on video games and junk food. I demanded to know how much they got from the cans and it was nearly $200. I told my sister she now owes me over $200 for the cans and the broken padlock. My sister and BIL went from being angry at their kids to making excuses for them, and then being angry at me for wanting that money back when I know they have three kids and a mortgage. I said it was either that or I go to the police and press charges. They told me to get out, and I said they have two days to decide how to pay me back before I go to the cops. My nephews are thieves and have stolen from me before. That's why I got the cameras.

What my nephews did was most definitely wrong. But I also know my sister and BIL can't really afford to pay me back. And they're blowing up my phone and calling me heartless for giving them the ultimatum when I know they are nearly broke after the holidays.

AITA for doing that?

AITA for stopping my roommate from being able to adopt a cat?

quote:

My roommate is vegan and wanted to adopt a cat. She bought pretty much everything she needs and I was fine with it. I have a dog so why can't she have a cat? Then an order came for cat food. It was a brand called VeganPet. She was planning to feed the cat vegan dry food.

I told her cats can't eat a vegan diet because they are carnivores and it can lead to health issues. Not to mention a diet of solely dry food for cats can lead to kidney stones and dehydration. My roommate would not budge on this issue and ultimately said if its made for cats then it is ok for cats.

So I ultimately drop the issue and we get to the shelter. My roommate can't drive so I was the chauffeur and as we live together we thought it would be good for us to look at the cats together. The shelter lady was asked us a bunch of questions like if we had other pets, what out house was like, if we had a catio or safe outdoor area the cat can't escape from etc and then she gets to nutrition. She asks about what we would be feeding and vet care. My RM lies and says that she would be feeding hills instead of veganpet. I was gobsmacked tbh.

I wait until my RM is distracted and tell the shelter volunteer that she will be feeding veganpet and not hills. I think this is what made the shelter turn down my roomates application for the cat. When I told my RM the truth she locked herself in her room. She hasn't spoken to me since. I was told by our mutual friend that I overstepped and should have stayed out of it. Idk

Aita?

Update: its about 7:30pm my RM finished work at 4 but she didn't come home. This is pretty unusual for her but I assumed she had something to do maybe shopping....

She got a cat. I asked her where it is from she said she bought it from someone off gumtree (similar to Craigslist). So we have a ragdoll now ig 🤦🏽‍♀️

ETA: i will feed the cat separately. I feed my dog raw food, his freezer is in the garage which my RM never uses so it will be easy to just buy extra meat after formulating a diet plan suitable for cats and feeding the cat at the same time as my dog.

ETA: i will just answer a few questions here. -she is activaxx and minimal vet care. She wants to be "holistic and natural" but the cat will receive proper vet care i won't budge on that ever.

i will take her to the vet tomorrow. I will get my vet who is very pro raw to talk some sense in to her. If that doesn't work i will get my vet to report her. I think the RSPCA will listen to the vet more than me. -as a dog groomer I deal with my local animal control all the time. Please do not have much faith in them. As long as the animal is fed they dont really care. They would only step in if the cat was dying -there is a pretty large chance the cat will eventually be dumped on me. I am hoping so. -please don't badmouth vegans there are plenty in this thread who are great pet keepers. My roommate is just a poo poo. -if my roommate moves out there is just nothing I can do. I'll try my best to look after the cat when it is in my care but that is literally all I can do. -i dont plan on keeping secrets. My RM will know I am feeding her cat.

Apparently its bladder stones and UTIs and not kidney stones. Idfk im not a cat


UPDATE: AITA for stopping my roommate from being able to adopt a cat

quote:

So to start I took my roommate and the cat to the vet on Monday like you all told me to do. The poor kitten is tiny and he was covered in fleas and very weak. My vet said he had an infection and just in a really bad way. So he stayed at the vets until Wednesday.

The vet did explain to my RM what an appropriate diet for a cat was but I could tell she wasn't listening.

After the initial vet visit we got an estimated bill and it was about $1500 aud. My RM couldn't pay it and made a comment that it was the same amount as the cat cost her! So I told her to give me the cat and I would pay it. That is what she did. My boy also got neutered while there (thank you so much for telling me to neuter him).

He had been home for a day now. I am keeping my dog away from him because my kitten is still weak but he is eating well! He really likes raw food but I am not sure i will keep him on DIY raw and maybe buy his some premade raw from the pet shop or move to wet food. We will see.

RM is moving out. She says she is unable to forgive me and I think she is heartbroken about having to give me the cat. So she will be out probably next week.

Also... my new kitten is called Leo!

ETA: yes she spend over a grand on a DSH she was told he was a purebred ragdoll but he very obviously isn't. Idc though he is so cute and I just love him

ETA: thanks for all your concern! My vet knows what I feed my animals. He has helped me with a diet plan. Because I am not confident in my abilities to properly formulate a proper diet for a growing kitten like I can for puppies I will be moving him to wet food until he is healthy and stronger. Then we shall try again. By then I should be more knowledgeable in what I need to do and I will have more time to create spreadsheets and look up ingredient sources. Ugh its a process but its a fun one! This cat won't be fed half-heartedly dont worry

I've been tryin' to speak with you for a long time
AITA for how I'm handling splitting the bills?

quote:

I (28M) own my own home. It's an older home, so it had really bad insulation when I bought it, so my electric bills were really high. I had an efficiency guy come out and set up a plan of where to insulate and got it taken care of. Now, at this same time, my gf (32F) moved in with me. Originally, she offered to help pay the mortgage as well as split the bills. The thing is, the house came with one of those moveable ventless gas fireplaces that I was using as supplemental heat before my gf moved in and it worked pretty well. She wanted to get rid of it because since it was old and gas it freaked her out, and she thought it was just about the ugliest thing she's ever seen (she wasn't wrong, it was ugly).

Before I got rid of it, I told her (kind of jokingly) that she would have to pay the whole electric bill and I would just take care of the mortgage. My reasoning was, the electric bill will probably be even higher without the supplemental heat from the fireplace, and since she was the one who wanted to get rid of it, she could eat the extra cost. She said that she was fine with that even though to her it didn't seem very fair for me because the mortgage is so much higher. Well, apparently the new insulation must be working, because the electric bills have been lower than I thought they would be. So, to try to get her to say we should have kept the fireplace, I've been subtly doing things to try to increase the electric bill a little (longer showers, doing laundry in hot water, etc.). Well, when the first higher bill came in, my gf asked about why I was all of a sudden taking longer showers and stuff, and she ended up finding out what I was trying to do. She called me and a**hole and said she didn't know if she can spend her life with someone as immature as me. AITA?
