There was the OP who's husband refused to use the microwave, up to waking her up at 2am and basically making her reheat the food for him.

She seemed to think it was some weird quirk and not like, serious divorce level abuse.

That's what's happening here as well, woke up at 11p with a 2 month old child? :murder:

AITA for not expecting my daughter to pay for her brother/my younger son's wedding after she was disinvited due to fiancée?

quote:

I have a son (John, 28M) and daughter (Rita, 31F) and both are on OK terms with each other. Ever since my husband away, nearly a decade ago, Rita has stepped up and taken care of all of us, financially. She's funded a huge portion of John's life and helped him get a job without debt. She's let me live with her in her house and is very, very soft-spoken and calm.

Recently, John proposed to his long time girlfriend Sam and they've begun planning their wedding. Sam and John have made it clear that they want Rita to help them out financially (again) as they're saving up for a house and a future child.

Sam has a huge family and everyone there have very close relationships, so they've already cut down on the guests form John's side. Neither I nor Rita care about this, but recently one of Sam's long lost childhood friends informed them that she'll be in town during the wedding so they had to remove one guest because of the venue's rules and that person was Rita. Sam told John and John told me that she doesn't want Rita to be there cause 'they're not very close' and 'she can always see the couple sometime else'.

I was rude and questioned her as to why they're removing someone who's helping them out to which the reply was 'I don't like how she's butting in to John's life' and that 'childhood friend is more likable.' Rita's hurt and told the couple that she won't be paying a dime for the wedding and even went as far as planning a trip on the same dates with her friends.

Now John and Sam are yelling at me saying that I've spoiled her and made her into an egoistic loser but Rita's already given them an engagement and a wedding gift (apart from the funding) so I told them that she's done her part and that childhood friend could cover the expenses.

Sam's mad and is threatening to go NC.

I love these stories, "We uninvited you from the wedding but don't expect anything to change."

There is a guy at my old office who thought the microwave would shrink his muscles (he was an amateur bodybuilder). He would use it but as soon as he hit the start button he would he would sprint out of the break room and stand in the hallway massaging his arms. And if he came in and saw the microwave was on he would run out and get angry no one told him it was on. He was really weird.

Another co worker was in the bathroom one day and the guy came in and started talking to his biceps.

Yeah, I’ve known a few people who thought microwaves would give them brain cancer or whatever. One woman I used to work with refused to use it herself but was fine sitting right next to it when it was in use. The other was a childhood friend whose family turned out to be crazy jesus freak preppers.

Can this be one of soulmate/twin flame signs?

quote:

I(18F) have been in a relationship with my bf(24M) for almost 5 months now. We have crossed paths before but never really met. Lately we have been talking about getting a dog. We never talked about names or said any name for that matter. Without telling him i wrote in my notes the name Aron for a male dog. I asked him today which name he would like to give to our dog. First name he said was Aron and it really shook me. It might seem to you like such a small thing but i was super shocked and really glad. I showed him the note where i wrote Aron and first thing he said was that we were soulmates and made for eachother. But then again this might also be an overreaction??

TL;DR: coincidence of my bf and i thinking of the same dog name

OP posted:

Edit 2: So it seems pretty 50/50 so far of whether I'm an AH or not. The YTA comments are shedding some light on my behavior that I didn't really think was a problem until now I guess. So in light of that, next time we to out and she wants to wear them, I won't say anything, but I'm gonna hope that nothing bad happens as a result.

SMEGMA_MAIL posted:

Okay I don’t get this, what on earth is Reddit/OP taking about here?

quote:

Slight YTA only because you refuse to go out with her until she changes her shoes-that does come across as controlling. However, your reasons for wanting her to change shoes are well intentioned (for her own safety), and her history + medical condition warrant your concern.

I do think you need to change your tactic though because it’s not working. Perhaps sit her down to a nice at-home meal, apologize for your part in your last argument (giving the ultimatum), proactively reiterate how worried you get every time she gets hurt, and offer to buy her two pairs of beautiful flats of her choice (Within a price range). Make sure you tell her how beautiful she is every time she wears those new shoes! And tell her you can no longer support pitching in to the ER bills if she continues to risk hurting herself in heels-she’s willing to take the risk, she should fully be prepared to pay for it. Best of luck, and I understand your heart is in the right place.

quote:

Dude. There's a lot in ones life with health issues that can't be controlled. If heels bring her joy or satisfaction, dont make it a battle.

Consider with her some other supports available if balance is difficult. Would she benefit from a cane? How about leaning on your arm when outside?

Approach as a team not an antagonist.

Those are the comments that are most 'against' the OP that I could find. The comments section was skewing strongly NTA when I went to look.

Wait, is this about a person who's wearing such impractical shoes (for her I guess) that she is literally falling over constantly and at risk of minor-serious injury because of that?

Because loving lol at anyone suggesting a practical solution is to basically halfway carry her from sitting place to sitting place. It's not a "help her with her struggle like a true partner" it's get her some loving therapy because her behavior puts her in unnecessary risk. When someone is self harming the solution is not to make sure to help care for and manage their injuries its to stop the injuries from ever happening again.

Usually anything that results in getting a concussion falls pretty firmly into the "don't ever do it again unless it's your only source of $$$ and expect long term medical consequences as a result as well" category. Not a "you need to be more supportive to your wife" category.

I'm guessing they mean that their souls have crossed paths throughout eternity but never met. Right? Like they have to have met to have been dating 5 months and exchange dog name lists. I hope.

AITA for yelling at my mom for wearing heels that make her way taller than me?

quote:

My[18M] mom[45 or 46F at this point?] I forget] is a very tall woman, clocking in at 5’11. I’m about 5’6, and the main reason for that is because my father, who abandoned my mom and I when I was 2 years old, was 5’2(my mom has said in the past that she used to have a thing for really short men). I assume that I got a lot of his height genes, which is why I’m so much shorter than my mom. Anyways, even though my father abandoned my mom and I, my mom worked her rear end off to keep me healthy and safe while also bringing home money to support the two of us, and I love her to the ends of the Earth. I know that in the past she probably used to turn down dates just to take care of me(I know she’s my mom, but I have eyes so I know that she is a good looking woman).

I’ve been hearing a lot of comments recently from my friends asking why my own mom was so much taller than me, and I said that my biological father was really short, but I also got really conscious of my height in relation to hers. I asked my mom if she could stop wearing heels so she didn’t look so much taller than me, and she agreed. Anyways, for the last couple weeks she stopped wearing heels, except for yesterday. Yesterday, when my mom picked me up from a tennis meet with my friends, she wore these really tall heels, and I kind of lashed out. Once we got into the car, I started yelling at her for embarrassing me, and my mom said that she forgot about what I said, but then I told her I wished that I didn’t have to be seen with her in public, and I said a couple more things that I think hurt my mom badly. Looking back I was pretty cruel.

Earlier this morning(like 5 AM so my mom probably thought I was still asleep), I saw my mom crying and she was looking at a picture of us when we went on a Caribbean cruise a couple years back. I know she's very protective of me since we're each other's only family(her parents/my grandparents passed away due to covid complications last year). I feel horrible, since my mom is honestly the greatest person on the planet, and she’s always been very loving and affectionate with me. In general, I have no problem with being shorter than women like I know many here will think, but I just have a problem with being shorter than my mom since I know that it's really rare for a son to be shorter than his mom(and by 5+ inches at that). AITA?

Superstitions aside, microwaves can easily superheat water in a mug intended for tea and when the surface is disturbed it will get everywhere and scald you, so it's not totally ridiculous to avoid the microwave when it comes to tea. I prefer an electric kettle or failing that a good old sunbeam hot shot.

Depends on how much water you need but a electric kettle can boil up water as fast as a microwave. Plus the whole needing to handle the scaling hot cup in the microwave that is holding the water.

Is there really anyone who knows this can be a thing who doesn't also know that you can just put a chopstick, spoon, or basically anything in there to keep this from happening in the unlikely situation that you're heating water in something like pristine lab glass?

Yes, it can happen. But it require a perfect surface and no disturbance so no bubbles can form. I have to assume the bulk of these incidents happened before even the cheapest of microwaves had rotating/moving trays.

Oh it's easy to avoid, but I get it all the time when I'm microwaving water for whatever cooking need, just with some of my regular mugs or glass measuring cups.
