AITA for yelling at my boyfriend for making me leave my best friend's wedding?

quote:

My boyfriend, 27, and I, 26 have been together for 2 years. He's a good heart and is normally rational but his one issue is that he expects to accompany me in every ocassion nomatter how big or small. He even went with me to my ex boyfriend's funeral after days of begging.

Now my best friend got married few days ago, it was very small and only close family and friends were invited, My boyfriend couldn't come because of the + one rule. He pitched a hissy fit saying my best friend has no respect for my relationship and was shocked when he learned that I was still going to attend, He told me that if he can't go then I'm expected to not go as well but that is my best friend and I had to respect her rules. He gave me an altimatum either we go together or I stay home with him. I ended up going cause again I respected my friend's rules. He was angry with me and kept calling the entire 2hr drive then stopped. Later I got a text from his friend telling me he (my boyfriend) got into an accident and was taken to the hospital. I freaked out he gave me the address and I had to leave the wedding and told my friends why.

I was a crying the entire drive home and kept calling his friend but got no response. I arrived to the hospital and asked about my boyfriend and they checked and told me he wasn't there, My anxiety reached 160% as I kept calling his friends one by one. I just went home and there he was...along with his friend. He saw me and said that he was sorry but this was the only he can get me home after I left him alone. After the initial shock I just blew up yelling at him about lying and making me leave my friend's wedding and having me literally go to the hospital and freaking out cause of him. I kicked his friend out and we got into an argument. He kept talking about how much I love him thus I left which is my own doing not his and he was just trying to see if I really chose my friend's wedding over him. He then argued that my friend caused this and I shouldn't agree with her to exclude him, I said what he did was horrible and called him horrible and then went to my room. It was awful cause my friends kept calling to check in on him cause they thought he was really at the hospital. He said I overreacted and that I yelled at the wrong person.

AITA? Did I go too far?

AITA for siding with my mother when she and my wife got in an argument?

quote:

My wife and I had our first child around 2 months ago. She was home isolated during her entire pregnancy after the 6th month mark because of some pregnancy complications. We had also agreed that the first two months after birth our parents and siblings would be the only ones allowed to visit and see the baby and our friends and rest of the relatives could wait.

As soon as the baby turned 2 months my wife started trying to get back into her social life again. Sometimes she'd bring the baby with her but sometimes she'd expect me to babysit. Whenever I couldn't babysit she'd call her mom to ask her if she could care for the baby for few hours. My wife's a great mom and she truly cares for our baby but it's frustrating how she feels the need to go out the entire time.

One day while she was out shopping with a friend of hers,i was babysitting the kid and my mom visited me and asked where my wife was. I told her that she's out with a friend. My mom got very mad about how my wife went out and she told me I have no backbone for not calling her out and telling her to stay home with the baby. I told my mom ill handle this. My mom waited until my wife got back home and she started scolding her. It wasn't a proud moment of me and I really didn't want my mom to get involved but my wife needed to hear it from someone else too. My mom told my wife that she's irresponsible and that she should cut down her meetings with friends and stay home to care for the kid as a proper mother would. My wife tried to defend herself saying how I was always out with my friends both during her pregnancy and after she gave birth but both I and my mom tried to explain how me going out is not the same as her going out. My mom told her that the little walks and coffee hangouts with her friends are over and that she better get used to the fact that her social life will now be limited. It sucks but that's how it is. I agreed with my mother on all that and my wife is not speaking to me for days. She even sleeps in the guest room now and took the baby's crib there as well. She will only cook for herself and the baby and not for me. My MIL and my SIL have texted me saying I was a huge AH for this and so was my mom so I should not be surprised my wife is acting like that towards me.

AITA for refusing to replace an oven I broke?

quote:

When I(F20) was around 13 or 14, I decided to make some cookies one night. I turned the oven on to preheat without checking it first and accidentally burned a plastic plate that was inside the oven. That night my stepdad yelled at me and accused me of trying to burn the house down on purpose when I told him many times it was an accident and I was sorry.

Fast forward to now. I�m home for a week because I�m on spring break and my mom decided we should have a family dinner together. While at dinner, my mom mentioned how her and my stepdad were starting to renovate the kitchen and my stepdad made a comment about how I should be the one to buy them a new oven. Mom and I ignored the comment and just kept talking about the kitchen renovation.

The next day my stepdad stopped me before I left the house and told me he was serious and I need to pay for a new oven. I told him that was unfair as I accidentally broke it years ago and he said he didn�t care. Now he�s been blowing my phone up with ovens telling me I need to give him the money for one of them. I mentioned this to my grandma and she told my mom and now they�re both pissed off with him. Now he�s calling me an rear end in a top hat for not fixing the oven and for tattling to my mom like I�m a child.

TLDR- I accidentally broke the oven when I was 13 or 14 and now at 20 my stepdad wants me to fix it despite it being a stupid accident.

AITA for not telling my former �subordinate� that her choosing to WFH would make her ineligible for the promotion she wanted?

quote:

So im a supervisor, as opposed to a manager, who is my direct boss. So in essence, I keep the day to day operations of my team running, but I don�t delegate the work for any major accounts, nor am I responsible for hiring or staff transfers.

My team is exclusively people who work from the office or hybrid (3:2), i have no WFH members. A Purely WFH company is not feasible for a bunch of reasons, a lot are client based. like we still got some new accounts and some work completed during lockdowns, but our Big Fish halted projects until we could meet in person again, so WFH -only agents and researchers would not be accepted. The industry is also big on personal relations, which is ugh, but that�s the reality.

We do have WFH only staff, (I have nothing to do with their operations) and their work is parallel to what we do, albeit they take a �behind the scenes� role more than most in-office workers who meet with clients.

Someone in a coveted position was retiring, and for the last 2 years, 4 employees have been eyeing the job. Amy was one and she was a favourite with Management bright, motivated, great with clients. There was less than a year left until retirement, so when my manager told me Amy would be transferring to WFH in 3 weeks i was surprised. the papers were all signed so whatever right? Everything finished smoothly and she transferred.

Upon retirement Amy wasn�t a candidate for the position she didn�t get called for interviews. Her former rival got the job and he�s settled in. Amy found out the position had been filled she wasn�t happy and asked her manager why she wasn�t informed of availability.

(Both their stories on this match up): He told her she was no longer in the department and it was in-office only, something she no longer wanted since being pregnant. her work performance had dropped since the transfer and more so after the birth so they weren�t going to promote her to a hands-on position with a higher workload, and �your baby was poorly timed for this promotion�.

So after this talk, she came to me furious and asking why I didn�t tell her going WFH would cost her the promotion. I genuinely thought that this would have been explained when she applied for WFH, she had meetings with both managers. I mentioned that once she had signed the papers, it was not my place to comment, it was approved and happening.

She was clearly upset but seemed to get that she should have been better informed by managers during talks.

However after she left a few staff told me I should have given her the heads up about it, even if she had already signed a new contract. That it was probably brutal for her to wait to be interviewed only to find her rival got the job. In my head it seems obvious from the setup that WFH ≠ in-office and a WFH superior is illogical, but Amy seems blindsided by this, and seems she made plans with that promotion in mind.

EDIT: im actually 28, female.

I DID report the manager who made the baby comment, but as everything I know is post-hoc, I can't do anything more. When she asked for a transfer, I didn't even know she was pregnant until she had the baby months later.

I DID prod as to why she'd choose WFH over hybrid given its slightly different work, and she stated it was for personal reasons.

And I couldn't help Amy with her work performance because shes in a different working department with another hierarchy, and with WFH employees, we only know about the work quality of those we work with (none were Amy).

Yes, I wouldn't be sad if she sues, even without the baby comment, her being misinformed about the implications of WFH would probably be grounds for a case.

AITA for pointing out to my co worker that she was wearing men's sunglasses?

quote:

Goodmorning!

I M26 was put in a new position in the company that requires me to go out with other co workers to meet up with clients on locations. We have this co worker (Nancy) who's the newest member of the team. She kind of keeps to herself and don't talk much beside the work stuff.

Yesterday, we were out working and Nancy arrived 10 minutes later, she said her son was sick and that's why she was late. She didn't want to eat on lunch break and she didn't bring anything so we invited her and offered some snacks. One thing I noticed was that she had her sunglasses on the entire time. Yes, we were outside but she never took them off. I looked at the sunglasses and it downed on me that they were a brand made for men. I didn't know if she knew and whether she intended on wearing them, so I casually pointed it out to her and told her that she was wearing men's sunglasses, she looked at me and asked so what. I said I figured maybe she didn't notice but it was obvious to everyone else that she was wearing men's sunglasses this entire time. My co workers started laughing and Nancy suddenly got up from her seat and excused herself. My female co worker side eyed me then said that Nancy was obviously concerned for her sick kid and there was no reason for me to be fixated on her sunglasses and humiliating her infront of everyone. I said I was just letting her know but she said that really it was non of mg concern and I overstepped. I told her I casually just brought it up without any bad intentions but I was told I needed to apologize to Nancy later which I didn't because I don't think I said something out of line or overstepping I was just talking about the sunglasses since I have knowledge in these brands. Besides that if I didn't point this out to her, someone else would've. My male co workers thought that Nancy was being too sensitive and I was good and didn't to apologize but they could be biased since they always side with me in all of my arguments so I'm leaving this to you folks.

Thanks for reading.

AITA for ruining my moms first (and possibly last) time as a grandma?

quote:

My mom has been getting increasingly upset as I�m nearing the end of my pregnancy and even my dad now says I�m being an rear end in a top hat for making her sad so AITA?

My mom usually takes a few vacations a year with her friends and then another few with my dad. She didn�t want to miss any so we had planned when she would see me around those including a buffer because I take anti-rejection medication and am an organ recipient. The rules my husband and I had in place was 3 weeks between her coming back from a trip and seeing us because typically when she gets home from travelling she spends the initial week home visiting her friends and always throw herself a �Bon-Return� party.

Our rules for after our baby is born is 3 months no visitors which some people think is extreme but it�s what I need to feel comfortable. Unfortunately she�s only been able to make one of our planned visits about 4 months ago because she had other surprises and trips she wanted to take. She was also upset because we decided not to find out the gender and her friends threw her a �grandma shower� and were all upset they didn�t know �what clothes to buy�. My husband and I live in an apartment so we don�t have a ton of space for extra stuff and we had specifically asked people not to get us clothes or linens but when I asked her to tell her friends that she said it would be rude.

She called me over the weekend and asked to come stay this week, but I said no as I�m busy this week and it was very last minute and she just got home from her friends 65th birthday blowout bash last weekend. She blew up at me sobbing for ruining this experience for her. She said I made her party awkward by being weird about the gender, she said she�s upset she will never have felt the baby kick (I don�t like being touched though so even if she had made her planned trips I don�t think she would have) she�s upset she didn�t get to take any �candid pregnancy pictures of me� (another thing I personally wouldn�t have liked, we did a bump shoot and that was even more than I ever like to be on camera frankly.) and she is upset she didn�t have any say in or get to help with the nursery.

I thought she was being really overbearing and blaming me for choices she made and tried to explain that but she just kept saying I was purposely trying to cut her out and I was succeeding in making her not want to meet the baby at all, which isn�t my intention.

My dad usually agrees with me when she is being like this but he is upset with me too and says this is different because it isn�t about her, it�s about her relationship with her grandchild. I�m very torn because I know lots of people want their mothers around and it�s not that I don�t it�s just she does cause me stress and the one thing that could minimise the stress (sticking to our schedule) she didn�t do. AITA?

Yesterday, we were out working and Nancy arrived 10 minutes later, she said her son was sick and that's why she was late. She didn't want to eat on lunch break and she didn't bring anything so we invited her and offered some snacks. One thing I noticed was that she had her sunglasses on the entire time.

Shows up late wearing sunglasses that she doesn�t take off at all and won�t eat lunch? LOL she�s hung over.

Who the gently caress stores plastic things inside an oven?

Who leaves a plastic plate inside the oven? That is the person who broke the oven. I bet it was step dad.

I've told this story before, but my ex-wife had a habit of putting things in the oven when they were in her way in the kitchen. Now I know some people store things like baking sheets and muffin tins in the oven because they take up space and they're metal anyway. Not the case with her. Literally anything in the way was going into the oven. One day I set it to preheat at 375 for dinner and went downstairs to change the laundry from the washer to the dryer. By the time I came back up the apartment was filled with smoke, the alarm was blaring, and she was out on the balcony pouring water on a smoldering black thing that I later found out was the goddamn CD player.
