AITA - I told my sister is think it’s wrong she’s getting divorced over her husband’s son

lovely situation for everyone but I don't blame the sister for getting out of the marriage in that situation.

The OP is an rear end in a top hat simply because her sister's decision to divorce was none of her goddamn business. The good news though is her sister's ex is going to be back in the dating pool soon and if she really cares she can marry him and become the kid's new mom.

she should raise the kid and treat him like an unwanted piece of poo poo that ruined her life, that'd be so much better for him than only having a single parent

also i wonder why OP doesn't step up to do the child rearing if it's no big deal

Weird, I can see where the OP lambasts her sister for not raising a kid she neither wanted nor prepared for "Because Family", but I cant find the part where OP or anyone agreeing with her is offering to help the couple "Because Family"

AITA for wearing my engagement ring to work?

quote:

I, 26f, got engaged to my fiancé Cruz, 25M, 4 days ago. We’ve been dating for 2 years and we were friends for 2 years before that. My future MIL gave my fiancé his great grandmothers (GGma) ring to propose with and it is absolutely gorgeous (he even had it altered to my ring size which he got when I was sleeping). His great grandfather personally hand made the ring and chose the accompanying diamonds since he was in the diamond business after the war ended and his GGma decided to pass it on as an heirloom when she died.

Now on Monday I wore my ring into work and I was so excited to show my girlfriends when we all went to lunch. I swear I didn’t flash it to everyone, I wasn’t being annoying, I only wanted to show my girlfriends, I didn’t want to create a big fuss (they were the only ones I told).

Well after lunch I got pulled aside by one of my coworkers, Sierra (35?), who said that I was being unprofessional by showing off my ring. She told me I was being insensitive to my other female coworkers who wore their engagement rings and have smaller diamonds. I was obviously confused and told her that issue isn’t my problem. She said I was being rude because it made her wedding ring look cheap in comparison to mine. She also told me that the “silent rule” of big diamonds should only be worn after 5 years of marriage. After she was talking I told her I’m never going to take off this ring and she can suck it up basically. She then started crying and walked out of work early.

I talked with my girlfriends and fiancé about it and they all agreed with me that it’s not my problem and I should continue wearing my ring but I still feel terrible that she started crying. AITA?

AITA Boyfriend of 4 years wants to break up because he found my dildo

quote:

I'll try to keep it brief because this just happened and I'm really hurt and embarrassed. Me and my boyfriend have been together for 4 years, we're 21 and 22. Suddenly out of nowhere 2 years ago after moving into a room we rent from his family we just almost completely stopped having sex. I tried to talk to him about it but it only seemed to make things worse and he kept hinting at his own issues and insecurities effecting him.

I haven't spoken up about my total lack of satisfaction in the bedroom because I don't want to kick him while he's down (can't get a job, lost a lot of weight, ect) and I've found there's really no easy or nice way to tell your partner they need some pointers for making you orgasm. It made me frustrated on and off, but ultimately about a month or two ago I bought myself a dildo with vibrator attachment to supplement the lack of sex. It's not his responsibility to provide that for me and I shouldn't resent him for it so I figured it was the responsible way to release some tension. I didn't want to make him feel insecure by admitting that I bought a dildo because I figured him seeing that would make it clear that I'm not getting off from the sex we do have. I'm not trying to damage his ego.

Today I told him to grab a soda from the snack bag and he grabbed the bag I hid the dildo box in by mistake. He said "wtf is this" when he saw it. I explained what it was and he reacted more negatively than I ever imagined he would. He said "and you said you weren't that kind of woman" with this really awful tone and look. When I asked him to clarify what he meant by that he said "just don't talk to me for the rest of the day or I'm leaving. and don't start that crying either because I'll leave." For the rest of the day I've honestly just been wondering about, shellshocked at the callousness of it all. I didn't think it was that hurtful to a male partner to find their SO secretly using a dildo, but I only didn't tell him about it because I didn't want to hurt his ego. Now it seemed I've done more damage by hiding it from him. AITA for hiding a dildo from my partner because he's having difficulty in the bedroom?

The obvious solution is to start popping coins into the toy machine at the grocery store until she gets a nice plastic ring.

I'd say she should buy a lifetime supply of ring-pops but that would just make me jealous.

This reminds me of the woman writing in because she and her boyfriend did sexy police roleplay and he took it very seriously and kept yelling "Officer down! Officer down!" when she got on top.

In addition to the all timer that is "officer down," does anyone remember a post where OP is lamenting how his gf is into sexy roleplay with stock corny scenarios (cop/prisoner, pirate/princess, nurse/patient, etc) but simultaneously forces him to come up with really lengthy, overly detailed backstories for the characters together with her for hours before they have sex and also gives them like, really stupid names but gets mad if OP laughs? I think one of the scenarios was like "she wanted me to be a sheriff called Jake gently caress and she's an outlaw which I said sounded fine, but she made us do all this background, like 'given the time period, is it realistic that this is Jake's first job in law enforcement?' " I think OP laughed when his wife wanted him to be a pirate called "captain fuckbeard" and he couldn't take it seriously and she got mad and gave him the cold shoulder. I'm not having any luck searching for this.

I’ve never once heard of this rule

Gonna guess that the first place Sierra ever heard this rule was from her fiancé, who's gonna remember that conversation as at least five years whenever they get close.

Meanwhile, someone on AITA hit on one of the few cases where they're 100% right to be upset by the style choices of a person in the wedding party:

AITA for telling my fiancee that she cannot have as her bridesmaid a girl who has Nazi tattoos on her upper back?

quote:

Basically, we are getting married, and one of her good friends who she is thinking of inviting as a bridesmaid has a Nazi tattoo on her upper back. This is not a generic religious swastika mistaken for a Nazi symbol; this is really the Nazi emblem, with the eagle and all. The even weirder thing I find about her is that she is not even white or seemingly a white supremacist. She is Southeast Asian, and she has been dating a black Nigerian immigrant dude for about a year now, who almost certainly knows about the tattoo.

I don't know her that well though, and I only found out about her tattoo a few days ago, and went to ask my soon-to-be wife about this. She said that Ms. Hitler got the tattoo because she thought it looked cool, and even though she was confronted by other friends about it, she was able to convince them that this is no more than an aesthetic, not a reflection of any of her beliefs. And they are buying it, probably because she isn't white and thus it is easy to believe that she's not a sincere Nazi. By the way, many people in her and my circle of friends and potential invitees are not white either.

My attitude on her decision to get her questionable tattoo is "yeah, whatever, your body your dumb choice", and I'm not a mind reader so I can't know what's going on in her head. But I still don't want that in my wedding.

So I told my fiancee that the Nazi tattoo chick cannot be her bridesmaid, and if she really wants to invite her to the wedding, her upper body had better be covered at all times. My wife became enraged at my suggestion, and said that if she cannot invite her, then we are not having a marriage. After all, she is a good friend of hers. She's still pretty mad at me.

AITA? I would absolutely be AITA if it's just a weird tattoo, but this is not just some tattoo, but a drat Nazi symbol. What do you think?

It's not that hard, OP. Just dump anyone who's friends with a girl with a Nazi tattoo.

(This got deleted quick so the mods probably thought it was fake, but whatever. It's pretty believable that someone would get a Nazi tattoo and then manage to convince all their dipshit friends that they did it for the aesthetics.)

Just remembered the one where the girlfriend would force OP to hold mock funerals for her and would get mad if he wasn't convincingly sad enough.

Also the one where the OPs boyfriend was obsessed with licking her rear end in a top hat but she wasn't really into it, so he'd spend hours just kissing her rear end and slowly making his way inward until she'd tell him to cut it out and he'd whine and sulk.

Also, also the one where the OPs girlfriend would make him eat her rear end every night in order to fall asleep.

AITA for sending my husband's mom a pic of the dirty dishes he left in the sink?

quote:

My husband pretty much stopped doing everything once he landed a job. All household chores became on me and I'm 6 months pregnant on top of working as well.
When I complained he told me I should quit my job, and things remained the same. That is til his mom who lives hours away heard about how exhausted I am and how her son doesn't help (I didn't intent on telling her but she heard). She had a talk with him and he promised to step up and help out. however, he keeps dragging his leg and doesn't complete a single chore saying he's exhausted from work.
He's been leaving dirty dishes in the sink instead of putting them in the dishwasher. When I told him about it he just brushed me off resulting in me basically handling dishs chore.
Last night I came home from work feeling exhausted, saw he had dinner (didn't save any for me) and left his dishes in the sink for me to do. NGL I made a fuss about it and his response was to get in my face and ask if I was really going to start a fight about dishes every night, then went to play inside the room. I had enough I took a picture of the dirty dishes in the sink and sent it to his mom explaining what her son was expecting me to do when I...didn't even get a shower or dinner yet.
She called him and went off on him. He kept talking to apologetically and insisted there was a misunderstanding. He ended up taking care of the dishes but then screamed at me calling me pathetic and childish to tattle on him to his mom like that. he then went into the room and wrote the word "b#@$" on the mirror using my lipstick. We had a huge argument and he went to his brother's place to spend the night, and is spending this night there too while not responding to my calls.
