Is my(28F) BF(28M) misogynistic, mainly in the way he greets me?

quote:

Hey guys, using a throwaway since BF is on reddit. A little background info, I have been with my BF for almost a year and he has been wonderful and we are even looking to move in together. He gets along great with my parents and my friends except for one, who we will call Sally, who isn't exactly friendly towards my BF. I've known Sally for about 2 years now and she occasionally comes to our friend group hangouts and in general she is very liberal/progressive especially on feminist topics which I do support. Now my BF is definitely more central/libertarian side when compared to some of my more liberal friends but it's never really come up when he's hung out with them and you couldn't even tell unless you asked.

Anyways, Sally and I were at a local coffee shop just chatting and catching up while I waited for my BF to pick me up. My BF arrives says "hey gorgeous" and gives me a kiss and a hug and then goes to get a cup of coffee before we leave. Ever since we became official, my BF often greets me like this, "hey gorgeous" or "hey beautiful". Personally it melts my heart to hear it especially since my BF has had trouble expressing his feelings and emotions. Anyways he stands in line and I can see that Sally is visibly annoyed. I ask her what's wrong and she finally says that the way my BF greets me is disgusting and sexist since he's only complimenting my looks and just sees me as a sexual object. I was shocked by this and never got any sort of those feelings from my BF. He's always been sweet and affectionate but I never felt like he was a misogynst. I'm planning to talk to my BF about this soon but from anyone else's perspective is the way my BF greets me considered sexist/misogynistic?

AITA for purposefully changing the picture submitted to my dad's church to include me?

quote:

So I (23F) was born when my dad and mom were in their early/mid-twenties. At that time, my dad was a wild partier that made a ton of bad decisions. So after a few casual hookups, there I was. Mom and Dad weren't exactly close so I ended up doing most of the year with her and summers with him. Around the time I was probably 4-5 years old, Dad found religion and went back to his Baptist roots. Which was great for him!

Pretty soon after, he met a woman and had my two brothers. He also became a preacher and runs his own church, which has become pretty big and popular in this area of our rural, southern state. So they started this thing a couple years ago where every few months another good christian family would be highlighted and get their picture put up on the wall with everyone's names, ages, and little family facts. It was a pretty cute practice, I thought. Well everyone picked my dad this time around and at family dinner, he told us about it and asked which picture we should use.

I chimed in and said that we had a great one with all of us when we went hiking and took a selfie on the trail. It looked good and we were all grinning. Dad pulled me aside after and explained that they were going to have to use a picture without me in it. He reminded me I was born out of wedlock and was technically a bastard, and that his church was very judgemental and religious so I couldn't be in the picture. Dad also made a point to say that I was a reminder of his wild days and he doesn't want that bad light on his good name since he's "moved on into a Christ-following man." I tried to argue that I was a part of the family either way and that I deserved to be highlighted, but he told me absolutely not.

So, when he asked little brother to send in the picture to the woman making the board, I asked him to submit the wrong picture. My brother sent in one where we were all together at the beach with my dad's arm around my shoulders. I was undeniably in the picture. I don't go to the church because I work weekends, but my brother said that some of the congregation asked about who I was in the photo and my dad had to explain the situation afterwards when my brother spoke up and said that I was his sister.

That was a week ago. Dad called me the next day, furious and screaming. He said he knew what I did and said it was selfish of me to destroy his reputation like that when I didn't even go to his church and they didn't need to know who I was. I told him that I was part of the family either way and that even if I didn't attend the church, they should know I'm his daughter like they know my little brother who doesn't go.

He told me off for bringing up his past "mistakes" and made me feel really horrible. Apparently some of his church members were gossiping about him and me, and it was causing issues at the church. I didn't mean for it to go this far. AITA?

AITA for wanting to tell my brother's fiancée about the tracking app he secretly installed in the new phone he bought for her?

quote:

Pretty much the title, My f22 brother m27 is currently engaged to his fiancèe f25. he bought he a new phone for valentine's and asked my boyfriend who's trained in computer and software to install a hidden tracking app on the phone so his fianceè won't see it or notice. I overheard them talking and when I entered the room they went silent. I waited til my brother left then talked to my boyfriend, he denied having this conversation with my brother first then, admitted to installing the app on the phone.

I told him he and my brother were in the wrong because this is huge breach of privacy. he said he has nothing to do with it and advised me to stay out of it as well. but I said I want to tell my brother's fiancèe. my boyfriend argued with me about being nosy and intrusive and told me to stay out of it and let them deal with their own issues. But I thought that was unfair to my future sister in law since she's the one working, paying bills and rent and this is how she is treated? My boyfriend told me gtfo with this attitude and again, said I should stay of it because it does not in any way concern me. I don't know I feel horrible after hearing about what my brother did and since I have a good relationship with his fiancee I can't help but feel guilty and wanting to tell her.

Yup stay outta my business that is super shady because it's not your business.

Tell her and break the gently caress up with your bf.

Only the good consequences!

There's a distorted view of fairness (you get what you deserve and you deserve what you get) coupled with a cultivated sense of persecution that runs very deep in US conservative Christianity

The distortion is this: Jim believes in Jesus so he is a good man. If a good thing like a raise at work, or his wife having a healthy baby "happens" to Jim, he deserves it because he loves Jesus and is a good man. If a bad thing "happens" to Jim, like being fired (for using slurs at work) or his children are taken away by the state (because he abuses them), well, that's obviously the persecution of a good Christian man!

Point is, anything 50 or above sucks poo poo independent of any schooling, let alone with. You do not have time for anything beyond decompression (e.g. AGRESSIVE binge drinking) food, or sleep. People seem to over bid on how much they work on stories like this

Wait this isn't the peeves thread...?

When I went to school, the rule of thumb repeated by most teachers was that you should expect to spend 3 hours out of class for every credit hour, so a standard load of 15 credits would be 15 hours of class and 45 hours of reading/work/etc. 60 hours of school plus a job would have been a nightmare.

This was rarely actually the case, realistically it was 1:1 at most outside of exams or project due dates. A few semesters I took 20 credits and also worked ~20 hours a week, those were busy but by no means unmanageable.

This may not be accurate for engineering or hard science students!

Well it sounds like you have some kind of urge to take responsibility for your actions. It's not for you, then.

The actual selling point of "born again" schools is that you get to hit the reset button on life; you get to be a judgmental prick because you have retroactively never done wrong, you can safely disregard your past because that was your once-born self, a different person, and you get to be real indignant when people point this out, and nothing fuels convictions like indignity.

AITA for exposing my Ex-husband for taking the gift I got for my son's 16th birthday?

quote:

My F36 Ex-husband M37 divorced me after I got diagnosed with cancer. He made it all about him then blamed me for our marriage failing. Got married to a 23 year old woman who calls me by mocking nicknames

I try to have a good co parenting relationship, I have a 16 year old son who lives in both houses.

His 16th birthday was days ago, I bought him a console and sent it to his dad's house in advance since I was out of town and couldn't attend the birthday celebration.

2 days later, one day before the birthday, My ex husband called saying he opened the gift I got for our son, used it and broke it. I was in dismay when he told me and I started arguing with him about paying for it to replace it but he started pleading saying he has no money and asked that I either send another gift (didn't have to be a console) or just tell our son I didn't send him a gift. I told him no way I was going to lie to my son but he kept begging saying he'll pay me back once he's able. I ended the call with him then immediately called my son to let him know what his father did to his birthday gift. A huge fight ensued and my ex husband called me yelling saying I not only ruined our son's birthday celebration but ruined his relationship with him over a stupid console that he was going to pay for but I was being spiteful trying to one up him. My son went to stay at my place with my current husband and hasn't been speaking to his dad. His dad is blaming me because our son refusef to stay and celebrate his birthday there after finding out what his dad did.

My ex husband's wife berated me in a long text talking about how I caused a scene and used my son as a tool to get back at his daf when I could've worked things out like a "mature adult". She said she "doesn't get me" and that there's something wrong with my personality. she even claimed she would be a better, more mature mom thrn me and never involve her kids in her fights with her partner. I was upset by her lecture and felt maybe I mishandled the situation and made a hasty decision. AITA?

I believe there is a universal Truth to the process of doing things right (Not that I have any idea what that actually means).
It comes from Care and Feeding, but reads like AITA.


quote:

This is going to sound petty and on the childish side, but here goes. I cannot stand the way my parents are with me and my sister. By every measure, I am more successful than my sister “Jane.” I earn a six-figure salary, as does my husband, we own our home, and we are planning to have a baby in the coming year or so. Jane works for a charity which, while laudable, pays next to nothing and affords her hardly any free time. Her layabout wife “works from home” selling “art” online (little cartoon drawings) and earns even less. They rent a tiny apartment and, frankly, don’t seem to be going anywhere in life.

Yet when our parents talk about me and Jane, it is crystal clear who is their favorite. They rave about her at every opportunity and invite her and her wife on holidays with them every year (pre-COVID). For example, if a friend asks my mom how everyone has been, my mom will say one sentence about me (“Sally got a promotion”) followed by a lengthy gushing about Jane (“Oh, Jane saved a woman’s life this week at the shelter! She got me a bunch of beautiful flowers as a surprise in between her shifts at the refuge and volunteering at the animal hospital, then she saved a kitten from a tree and STILL made time to visit her dad in hospital!!”). I’m exaggerating, but just barely.

She and my dad are never actively unpleasant to me, just NOTABLY less enthused about me than my sister. The recent example that has me furious was Christmas, when my husband and I bought my parents a smart TV and an iPad. These gifts were met with thanks and my dad posting about how lucky he felt on social media, which was very gratifying at the time. Then the next day when they celebrated Christmas with Jane and her wife (who of course were volunteering on Christmas Day proper), I see my dad RAVING on Facebook about the gifts they have got him and my mom: a bit of art that Jane’s wife made for them (so, a very cheap gift) and a natty photo album that Jane put together from some old photos she dug up of our parents’ wedding. (They didn’t have a photographer and always regretted it, so Jane apparently canvassed their friends who had attended and got pictures to compile the album, which while obviously an effort, also cost her nothing beyond the cheap-looking scrapbook itself.) It has been a month, and our mom still goes on about what an incredible gift it is, and has hung the homemade art in pride of place in the living room. When I ask if she likes the gifts I got her, she just replies with, “Yeah, they’re great.”

I am so done. Their favoritism is obvious, and I can hardly stand talking to them when I know that Saint Jane is going to come up. Jane and her wife are also planning on having a child in the near future (in spite of clearly not being able to afford this). I am already sick at the thought of how differently our parents are going to treat our children. Can you give me any advice on 1) raising my frustration with my parents in general, and 2) articulating that we will fall out for good if and when they treat my kids differently to Jane’s? My husband’s stance is to address such things when they come up and just ignore the favoritism from my parents (who he doesn’t gel with anyway), but my anger at them is keeping me up at night. Please help.

—Not the Favorite

On the one hand, I get it. I'm less of a disaster than most of the people in my generation in my family. Because I need less, I get less attention. Because I'm not willing to be a bank, I get next to none.

But she also seems so whiny and insufferable that I get why she's not the favorite. And those gifts from sister and wife sound really thoughtful.

Jane and her wife are clearly enjoying life the right way - they're doing what they want to do and they're pretty happy it seems. The OP seems like an absolutely miserable person and I don't think that it's the money things that's the problem, it's the fact that they see Jane and the wife happy when the OP is clearly not with their own
