AITA for going to the grocery store in PJs?

quote:

Last week, I got surgery and was instructed to wear loose fitting clothing for the first 2 weeks. After week 1, I'm allowed to walk around, but I can't squat, stretch, run, power walk, etc. so I asked my boyfriend, Josh (he's been taking care of me), to come to the grocery store with me. Just for context, I always go out completely dressed and with my makeup on, even if I'm just grabbing the sour cream for dinner and it'll be 10 minutes.

Today, I decided to wear a long PJ shirt and wear Josh's sweatpants underneath, none of my clothes are loose enough! He took one look at me and told me to go back upstairs and change because he wasn't going to be seen with me while wearing that. I reminded him that I cannot wear tight clothes and all I have are skinny jeans. He then stomped past me and raided my closet. He pulled out a dress and told me to wear it instead. I conceded and he helped me put it on.

I started to leave the bedroom until Josh said "uh, what about makeup?"

I said "what about it? I'm not in the mood to spend an hour on my makeup when that's about all the energy I have."

We argued again and finally I told him that I didn't want to wear a dress, I was putting my original outfit back on, with flipflops and a baseball cap (I will admit, the flipflops and baseball cap was just to be petty). He can come with me, or he can stay.

He threw his hands in the air, grabbed the keys, and walked to the car without me. He sat in the car waiting for me to shuffle over to it. We didn't say anything the entire drive. At the grocery store, he gave me short replies and, to his defense, grabbed what I needed from the shelves. Josh has been adamant of doing everything for me until I'm healed

We ran into a friend of his from high school. The friend asked how I was, and I mentioned the surgery and how Josh was taking care of me. His friend teased him (in good fun) about being my nurse. I laughed and we moved on after a couple minutes of catching up. Josh was completely fuming

Josh started to quietly, but sternly, tell me that this is why I didn't want me looking like I did meth as a hobby (?) and I need to start dressing better. The argument never reached a resolution, but my mom came for dinner that night and asked why we weren't being as cuddly as usual. After the story, my mom rolled her eyes and told me that I was being dramatic, and I needed to suck it up because its 2 tiny incisions. My boyfriend said "See? I told you." and was as happy as ever, as if our argument had been resolved. I still think I was in the right.

AITA for wearing PJs or should I just let it go and apologize?

WIBTA if I told my wife I don�t want to go workout with her after she beat me in a boxing match?

quote:

My[27M] wife[27F] and I workout together, but I I�ve been working out a fair bit less since I�ve recently created a startup company. We also occasionally go boxing at the same place where we workout and while we don�t try to hurt each other, the matches are still pretty competitive. In the past, I�ve been able to win, but yesterday, my wife actually beat me.

Some assholes started heckling me and my wife just told me to ignore it, but I could tell that she was really happy she beat me. Honestly I don�t want to workout anymore with her since I just feel like our relationship dynamic has changed completely. I know that if I trained more and spent more time working out, I�d win boxing matches against my wife, but I just can�t do that right now since I�m really loving busy, and until I�m not so busy I don�t want to workout or box with my wife anymore.

Of course its entirely possible Dan is raising a monster of a child that thinks that prank is a good thing and is insulated from consequences as they grow closer as father and son like he always wanted.

Either way the kid is 18 and there really isn't much the mom can do.

it's been a year, it's possible that the father loves his son and enjoys living w and raising him .... Shocking I know.

AITA for asking a student to not use �anime voice� in my classroom?

quote:

I�m 28 (nb) and a new professor at an art college. I teach core classes about politics, sociology, and anthropology. Most teaching evals, feedback from my dean and chair, and students feedback give me high ratings in creating a safe environment for discussion. Students say I do a good job relating to students from different views, backgrounds, and expressions.

This is something I take seriously�especially as one of the only (that I know of) out non-binary professors at the college. I also take it seriously as someone who firmly believes in the integrity of the classroom. And empowering students to have hard discussions.

I make it a point to never complain about students. Even when they say something transphobic. I politely encourage them to learn and I�m rated as pretty gentle about getting them to think another way.

Recently, I had one of my most uncomfortable teaching experiences which seems silly. I had a student who is not from Japan, never spent time in Japan, but loves anime and used a hypersexual, over exaggerated, baby like voice known as �anime voice�.

She took on what she perceives as a Japanese name and I just really acted over excited over the top constantly.

As someone who has had women students from Japan, I felt like it was at least mildly racist and just cringe for everyone to listen.

I pulled her into a convo and tried to let her see how I at least saw it. And she has since retaliated saying I don�t respect the accents or names of students.

This hurts. Admittedly, I�m a white professor but this student is not Asian. I suspected she might be on the spectrum so I tried to be gentle but firm but as an autistic person, autism is not an excuse for inappropriate behavior.

She reported me as an unsafe professor which I feel like ruins it for the international students I teach, whose names I pronounce correctly, whose accents I support, and the LGBT+ students who get to have an out non-binary professor for the first time.

The admin is mostly white and they kept asking �are you sure she isn�t from Japan?� And I�m like yes, 1. This is not how people from Japan talk 2. She did a project about where she is from and she admitted to never spending time in Japan.

As an anthropologist, I feel it�s deeply irresponsible for her to use this voice. And since it is perceived as hypersexual, it made me super uncomfortable. I�m not sure how other students felt because I didn�t want to give her any attention over it.

People have suggested I was too harsh. That people can take on the names and accents they want to. Am I the a**hole here?

edit: she has audibly moaned a couple times. The second time is when I pulled her aside before class (before many other students were there). I also have a class full of anime fans and people who love the subculture in the class. I�m also feminine/queer presenting and AFAB, so it made me uncomfortable how she would also compliment me in the voice or say how much she loved my dresses. Other students have complimented my fashion but not like this. Something was off about it.

Second edit: I�ll take comments stating �YTA� that�s why I�m here to learn. But comments questioning whether or not I�m trans or I experience transphobia isn�t okay. I�m read by society as a male because I�ve taken hormones for years. Had surgeries. Not that I need to explain this to somehow justify this students behavior or explain what others have pointed out: the class is being sexually harassed.

You don't spar hard very often in boxing. Sparring, if it's done right, is light and preferably with headgear. It's actually a lot of fun. You work technique and footwork and tricks and just do the poo poo you know. Going hard is a great way to get tossed from a gym or the living poo poo beat out of you.

Help! My Friends Let Me Live Rent-Free, but I�m Disgusted by What They Do Around the House

quote:

Dear Prudence,

I�m in a difficult situation. I lost my job as a result of my boyfriend showing up at my workplace and behaving crazily, then I lost my home when I finally broke up with him after realizing I�ve been dealing with years of emotional and financial abuse from him. My friends �Charlotte� and �Jane,� a married couple, have been lifesavers and invited me to stay in their spare room while I get back on my feet. I want to be clear that I am incredibly grateful to them. However, I am starting to lose my mind living with them, and need advice on how to cope until I�ve got new work and can get out of here.

Out and about, they never display physical affection and don�t act �couple-ish� in general. In their house, however � oh my god, it is nauseating. I�d never stayed with them long enough for them to start acting the way they must do normally when on their own before this, so I had no idea that they kiss and cuddle ALL THE TIME, call each other cutesy nicknames (�doll�, �sweetness� etc.), and have about a dozen stupid rituals. For example, Charlotte always cooks a huge breakfast for Jane on Saturday, and Jane prepares some over-the-top romantic meal for them on Sunday, complete with candles. They buy each other flowers so often that the place is like a greenhouse. They complement each other multiple times a day (think �You look gorgeous!� and �You look so hot in that!�). I have walked in on them literally waltzing around the kitchen on more than one occasion, although at least they stop that when I come in.

I�m not a big PDA person anyway, but I am especially not feeling romantic vibes at this time in my life. I went the last three years taking �compliments� from my ex-boyfriend such as �you look less fat in that� and had flowers bought for me exactly once, when he was apologizing for cheating. Watching Charlotte and Jane gushing about one another and waltzing around is both upsetting and aggravating. I once made a comment to the effect of, �Could this level of romance be moved to the bedroom, maybe?� and Jane responded by saying I was free to go to my room if it bothered me. When I mentioned to Charlotte (who I�m closer to than Jane) that it�s hard for me being around intense couple stuff at the moment, she was more understanding and dialed things back for a few days. Then Valentine�s Day came and, well, you can imagine. Everything reset and the place was full of roses for a week.

The last time I snapped and made what I�ll admit was an unproductive comment about feeling like I was living in a romcom, Jane basically called me homophobic for telling a gay couple to dial back their affection for my comfort. I defended myself that I would feel exactly the same if I was around a straight couple like this, but I ended up apologizing when Charlotte started crying�she has dealt with a lot of homophobia from family and was once assaulted for kissing a girlfriend in public, so I appreciate this is a sensitive topic for her. Nonetheless, I hate living like this. We�ve made up now and they�re back to their usual loved-up selves. I know I just need to move out ASAP, but can you advise on 1) how to deal with this without starting another fight until then, and 2) whether there is anything else I can possibly say to them about this?
� Not Feeling the Love

quote:

Dear Not Feeling the Love,

You know that room they�re letting you stay in for free? Go into it and close the door behind you. This is the part of Charlotte and Jane�s house where you get to control what you see and hear, and where you can reasonably ask people to stop behaviors that annoy you. When it comes to the rest of the home: Mind your own business! You have absolutely no right to raise this with them again, and if you hate living like this, you know what to do: Live somewhere else.
