AITA for ignoring my aunt's health issues?

quote:

A while ago, I (28F) received a call from my aunt. I don't have the greatest relationship with her since she was really disrespectful to me and my issues (force-feeding me when I had an ED, cutting my clothes cause they were "ugly", ripping my books cause I was reading instead of paying attention to her), so I was quite surprised when she called me asking for help with her appendectomy, although that wasn't the only surprising factor.

While it is true that I am a doctor, I am definitely not a surgeon and I do have my obligations as associated with my position (I have board certifications in Neurology and Internal Medicine and work in Diagnostics).

She's never even regarded me as a good doctor despite my achievements I've been too ashamed to brag about in her presence. That's mainly because I have multiple tattoos, piercings and am really introverted.

Either way, I told her it wasn't possible for me to just fly 4000 miles to deal with something I wasn't familiar with and ignore my responsibilities as a doctor, first and foremost. I also recommended a good hospital and surgeon, but she didn't follow through and went to the local ER, where the doctor did a rather sleazy job. Everybody's blaming me for it now.

Her 5 children all called me fuming about how I was letting their mother die and how I should get my license revoked for not caring about people (as a doctor). They called me names I'd rather not remember and even went as far as threatening me and my career (suing for malpractice).

This is not the first time they do this. They got mad when my husband (an app developer) wouldn't remove the viruses in my cousin's computer (who literally works in tech).

That being said, so much of my trauma stems from their malicious treatment towards me as a kid and, while I haven't thought of myself this way in a long time, since they used to call me a lovely person when I was a kid, as well, I'm sort of starting to debate whether or not I actually am one.

AITA for not doing more to help my aunt?

AITA (35M) for not being able to cook well enough for my girlfriend (29F)?

quote:

My girlfriend moved in at the beginning of the year. She can't cook, and I've always regarded cooking as something I'm quite good at, so I make all our food.

However, my confidence in my abilities has been shaken since she moved in. She often sends things back/refuses to eat what I make because it's not prepared to her standards. She's quite particular with what she likes, and I try to cater to her preferences. But it seems that I get it wrong way more often than I get it right.

Some examples:

If I'm making her a sandwich, she likes it toasted to the exact halfway point between setting 3 and 4. Too much either way and she'll refuse to eat it. I've given up on eyeballing the settings entirely, and instead set a timer on my phone for 180 seconds. Even still, about 1/3 times she'll find something wrong with it. She puts her face right up to the toast and inspects it, and if there's a section that is slightly too brown or not brown enough - no good.

Rice is a big problem as well. She likes her rice to be perfectly dry. I used to eyeball the amount of water I'd use to cook rice, then drain off any excess at the end. But this wouldn't always be good enough for her, so I bought a rice cooker and started to use exact measurements. At first, this solved the issue, but recently she's been getting quite angry with me on the grounds that there's apparently still moisture in the rice.

But my real problem is the way she's handling her discontent. If I get something "wrong" then she'll roll her eyes and sigh. Sometimes when she's really exasperated she'll call me a loving idiot. She's very close with her friend group, and frequently complains to them about me not being able to cook properly. She says I have "man eyes" and that's why I can't follow instructions or get anything the way she wants it. Her friends sympathise, and think it's low effort that I can't do things the way she wants even after repeated complaints.

This came to a head on Tuesday. She was on the phone to her friend, who was complaining about her own boyfriend. After my girlfriend got off the phone, she said to me "Myra Hindley's boyfriend is the same as you - he can't even make a glass of water correctly."

I will admit, I got quite angry at this. I told her that the comparison is ridiculous and unfair, and that I wasn't happy with her making me out to be some bumbling idiot.

She said that I was being oversensitive and that I always cause arguments out of nothing. She gave me the silent treatment for the rest of the night, and has been very cold to me ever since - one word answers etc. If I try to talk to her about the issue, she again accuses me of trying to cause arguments.

I really don't know what to do. I'm at the point where I'm starting to doubt my perceptions of myself. I'm not saying that I am Gordon Ramsay Masterchef 5star Michelin boi, but I thought I was fairly decent at cooking. I also have never viewed myself as an argumentative or oversensitive type.

Am I being a dick here?

Chef OP:

quote:

Haha, I'm going to post an update as a response to this comment because it's probably my favourite one so far.

I made this post when I came back from work today. I texted her twice throughout the day, and she left them both on read. She wasn't here when I arrived home - she'd left through the back door which has a split spindle (i.e. automatically locks when closed) and left her keys in the bowl, which is where she leaves them when she has plans to go out with her friends (so she doesn't lose them when drunk).

I've saw on Insta that she's having pre-drinks at aforementioned friend's house, so I know she's fine. I'm not going to try to contact her over the phone right now, because I know her friends will get involved and things will turn in to a big drama dogpile. I'm going to pack up her stuff and leave it in the vestibule for when she returns tomorrow. The relationship is over. I know the way she is, and she's definitely going to ask me to return the money she contributed to household bills and food for the last 3 months. Honestly idgaf, that's fine. I've already prepped for this and I'll transfer it immediately if that's what she wants. I just want to be me again.

Thanks for your input, everyone. I wasn't expecting such a unanimous response.

(Numerous commenters tell him not to pay her.)

quote:

We've been together for 10 months total, she's lived here for 4. What I have observed over that time is the way she handles conflict with her friends and family.

She can be quite veangeful when she feels that she has been slighted, and will go out of her way to "teach people a lesson" and get revenge on them. She needs to feel like she ends things on a win, and that she has the upper hand. I'm happy to give her that in order to get rid of her.

Legally, she was never officially staying here - like for the recent census she still put down her mum and dad's address. And I didn't ask for an extortionate amount in financial contributions from her anyway. What I'd transfer her is basically what I'd have been paying towards bills and mortgage if she wasn't here anyway, so it's not a huge unexpected loss or anything.

I'd rather just prepare myself mentally to do it rather than have her do something mad like slash my tires etc.

AITA for telling my son exactly what my husband did despite him begging me not to tell?

quote:

I have a son (adam 14) from my previous marriage, I'm currently with my husband of 4 yrs. I handle everything related to Adam's school. He has a friend (Dean 14) that he started hanging out with a year ago. Dean is an amazing boy and has been nothing but a great influence for adam. I met Dean's dad (Mike) who's a single dad and we'd see each other daily for school pickup/drop offs. My husband kept asking about Mike and pointed out that he's being boundary stompping but I disagree.

Unfortunately, Adam fell sick months ago and had to undergo a surgery recently. It's been hard but Dean kept visiting, sometimes Mike would come too and my husband would either ignore Mike or make passive comments towards him. Mike picked up on that and I told my husband to knock it off cause his hostility affected Adam and Dean as well.

Days ago, I found Adam crying in his room, this was weeks after getting discharged, I asked and he said that Dean sent him a text telling him they were no longer friends and blocked his number. I was confused they were fine. I wanted to go talk to Dean but the next day I found his phone in my husband's car. I confronted him and he said he "borrowed" it from Dean but I didn't buy it. After pushing he confessed that he stole Dean's phone at the hospital and sent Adam a text telling him to not contact him again. I asked why and he said it was all Mike's fault for being too close to me and acting inappropriately, and said that he didn't want to directly tell Adam to no longer speak to Dean and chose this stratagy to not make Adam hate him while keeping Dean and by extention Mike away. This hit a nerve so hard I started screaming at him. He said he already expressed how uncomfertable he felt with Mike being around and I kept brushing it off. I said it was because of how ridiculous his argument was, Mike has been nothing but respectable and helpful, I yelled calling him insecure and unreasonable and also cruel for causing Adam heartache with his stunt. He begged I don't tell Adam but I took the phone and returned it to dean and exlained to him and Adam what happened.

Adam is no longer speaking to my husband and he is blaming me for telling instead of keeping it between the adults like I'm supposed to.

AITA for renting out my husband�a man cave?

quote:

Since we moved into our house 3 years ago my husband lives in his man cave. The walkout basement that he plays video games in mostly is a 1 bed, 1 bath with a small bar area that can serve as a kitchen. He only comes up for food, to prep for work or to sleep and it�s been bothering me because he never helps with the housework or our 2 sons. But at least he goes to work so I let it go and leave him be.

5 months ago he was laid off his job and has been applying for another one in sales. Right now he�s collecting unemployment and along with my teacher�s salary it isn�t enough to cover everything. My son(9M) has been playing guitar for 4 years and loves it. But his lessons and guitar are quite expensive around $300 a month and my other son does kickboxing which is $170 a month. I didn�t want them to have to give up their activities so I looked for other ways to make money. My husband is very prideful and won�t work a job beneath him, I�ve already tried to convince him to work a $16/hour cashier job for our family friend and he refuses because it would be humiliating having friends see him work at a cash register at 37 year old.

So I found that we could rent the basement out for $1100 a month and it would allow my sons to stay with their activities. I told my husband who refused saying it was his space. I argued I didn�t get a space and if he wanted to keep it he should get a job while he�s looking for another sale�s job. He got angry and told me it was his house and he won�t allow it being rented out. We both put down payments down and we both make money in this house but it�s his house?! I told him we are not making ends meet and he told me to cancel all unnecessary spending including our son�s activities. I argued if he got a job or agreed to rent out the downstairs they wouldn�t have to and he said that wasn�t his problem.

I posted it on Facebook just to see if anyone would be interested and a student reached out. She is a college student who wanted to rent and it was a perfect fit because she didn�t have a pet and was going to be gone most of the day anyway. I said ok and went excited to my husband who was really pissed saying we aren�t renting out �his space�. I was pissed he wouldn�t sacrifice anything for our sons when I�m working and raising them and he isn�t working now but isn�t doing anything to help. I told him I was moving out with our sons and I think he recognized I was serious and gave up and told me to do whatever I wanted. I moved his gaming stuff to our living room and the student moved in today. He is still pissed that I undermined him and I feel kind of bad because I didn�t want to make the decision without his agreement but at the same time I feel he was selfish to refuse to either get a job or give up his man cave for our sons to continue their activities and keep us from going into debt

This dude's only redeeming trait was "Has a job." Losing that suddenly he is a hollow person in that household because I would bet money since being laid off he still doesn't help with anything.

AITA for admitting that I am sexually attracted to one of my fianc�e's sisters during a drinking game

quote:

I've been with my fianc�e for 4 years. During that time, I've never been unfaithful to her. Never gave her a reason to doubt my loyalty to her or anything like that.

So this past weekend, we were invited to her friend's place for her and her boyfriend's birthday party. I really only got an invite as my fianc�e's partner so I didn't really know anyone there except a few of the boyfriends in passing. We had all been drinking and gotten a little wild and about midway through the night, we were prompted to play a drinking game.

It essentially never had I ever, but when you've done something you take a drink. There were also, golden questions you finish your drink. So the questions were found online and all started easy like "Never have stolen from someone" then got progressively more intense.

So the question that got me in trouble was, "Never have I ever thought about one of my current partner's siblings in a sexual way." It was a golden question so I finished my drink. There were laughs and claps as I slammed my drink and when I finished, I realized I was the only one drinking and my fianc�e looked very upset. Her friends started teasing her like, "oh uh looks like the weddings off" and her face softened so i assumed she took it in good fun and it was normal for the rest of the night.

However, when we got home all hell broke loose. She told me that I embarrassed her in front of all her friends and now she looks like she can't keep her man from ogling other women including her sister. She also commented that it was incredibly gross of me to want to gently caress her older sister. I told her I didn't actually want to have sex with her sister and that I don't "ogle other women". I said I felt like she was blowing this out of proportion and we were just playing a dumb game and no one will remember by morning.

She has been pissed at me since, but I really don't think what I did was wrong or even all that weird. Her sister is literally an older version of her, of course I think she's hot, I'm marrying a younger her. I have a brother, if she likes what I look like she probably likes what he looks like too.

oh come ON, all i did was tell all of your friends that i want to bang your sister, why are you making such a big deal out of this

I wish I could remember the name of the experiment or the documentary about it, but some scientists were putting little red hats on the males of some type of bird, which made them super attractive to the female birds. This species, from memory, has no red plumage naturally. They put little white hats on other males, which the female birds found horribly unattractive, a feeling which persisted towards the white-hat males, even after their little hats were removed, which seemed a little sad.

Anyway, your post reminded me of it.

Am I missing a reference or a pun or something here, or was she actually just comparing him to one of history’s most notorious child rapists/murderers because he toasted her toast too much

No, I think you got the reference. It's off base tho, this guy sounds lile he cooks worse than Albert Fish!

AITA for admitting that I am sexually attracted to one of my fianc�e's sisters during a drinking game

Lol at that idiot, but I'm also convinced that whoever came up with games like that secretly wanted their legacy to be an untold number of destroyed relationships

Like a magic sword that can only kill monsters, it only harms the relationships of people so stupid they don't understand what lying is, so it's a net good.

Hi I work in wastewater management. Please do not use "flushable" wipes.

Basically nothing that didn't actually come out of your body is really flushable. Toilet paper is okay if you must, but nothing else, please.

Tragedy of the commons is always a bitch. Is it because they create fatbergs that block communal pipes and have to be broken up by hand, or a more specialized reason a layperson wouldn't know about? Always interesting to learn about infrastructure stuff.

AITA for plucking one of my dad�s eyebrow hairs while he napped?

quote:

I (17M) and my mom (43F) have recently noticed a bright white hair smack dab in the middle of my dad�s (50M) eyebrow. It is the first thing I see when I look at my dad�s face, and my mom agrees that it�s one of his more prominent features. Over the past few weeks, my mom has been nagging him to pluck it out, as it looks a bit funny, but my dad refuses. (This likely stems from a time last year in which I consensually plucked a few of his eyebrows, bringing him to tears)

My dad was napping on the couch one afternoon last Sunday, white eyebrow hair shining in the living room light, when my mom told me to pluck it. She got her tweezers from her bathroom and handed them to me, dead serious. I pulled out the eyebrow hair in a single pull, instantly waking my dad.

My dad was awfully confused, and demanded to know what I was doing with the tweezers. I showed him his reflection in my phone camera, to which he started yelling that I had no right to pluck his eyebrow like that. My mom defended me, saying it was her idea and that his eyebrow hair made him look like an old man. My dad left for the evening, coming back around 2am (very abnormal for him.) He has been cold toward my mom and I, creating a lot of tension in the household.

My dad claims that by plucking his eyebrow, I was making fun of his appearance and the way he was aging. While I agree that teasing him over his eyebrow wasn�t exactly polite, he is being overdramatic about his eyebrow hair.

AITA for putting restrictions on the characters for my dnd group

quote:

Hey so I�m going to try to make this as short as possible. I�m dming a group of 6 people and they come from a diverse background. 4 of them are from my church and 2 of them are from my school. I originally was going to play with my 4 church friends but when my 2 other friends (Doug (he/him) and Jane (they/them)) heard about it they really wanted to play.

Everything was fine until i met with the two of them to make characters. They both wanted to make lgbt characters. Doug wanted to make a gay character and Jane wanted to make a trans character. Now, I�m not lgbtphobic but my other friends have strong religious values and it would make them uncomfortable. They were both pretty upset and I understood why, so I came up with a compromise. They can keep their characters but wont mention any lgbt/sexual stuff and keep the game PG. They begrudgingly agreed and we moved.

All was fine until during the game some of the other PC�s mentioned their wives/family and Doug and Jane looked upset. I moved past it but after we were done playing. A few hours after everyone left, Jane made a group chat with me, them and him saying that they were hurt they couldn�t rp lgbt characters , etc. Doug reiterated the same type of msg and said that having to stay in the closet in dnd was triggering for them. I responded that I thought they were being entitled because they joined this game knowing the backgrounds of my other friends and now they�re trying to dictate the terms of my own game. We argued for a bit and now we�re not talking. AITA? I feel like I�m in an impossible situation.
