Going back a page to language chat: (sorry) I am an ESL teacher, and over the last 15 years I have lived in 3 different countries, (Japan, Korea and China), and one of my major bugbears is people who don't even try to learn the local language. And I have met far too many of these arseholes. It is even worse when they are in a relationship with a local. How loving rude/entitled is it to expect your partner to communicate with you in a 2nd language that they have had to learn, yet you won't even do them the courtesy of attempting to do the same for them? Then add in that if this relationship is serious enough that meeting parents is an option, how rude/entitled/disrespectful is it to show up at your potential In Laws place, knowing they don't speak your language and go "Yeah, I am not going to bather trying to understand/communicate with you, your daughter will have to do the difficult job of translating" Adding in from personal experience, that it often doesn't matter how good you are at the 2nd language, if you make an attempt people will warm to you and meet you half way. I have found this in my professional life, and also years ago on my backpacking trip across Europe where I tried to get by on my awful High School French. Also I am currently in Hokkaido, and will second that Japanese is a lot easier than Mandarin. My Japanese is currently awful and embarrassingly low, but as said, people are happy that I am trying and will mostly help me to understand/get new words as I am stumbling and stuttering in the supermarket. So if this bloke would even make a little bit of effort, and accept his girlfriends generous offer to teach him, he will be a big hit with the In Laws. Finally, whilst I kinda sorta see his point in that "Japanese is only for nerds who watch anime". Insomuch as if you don't live there, then there is little practical use for the language. But he has a huge practical use to learn! Communicating with his girlfriend and her parents. More importantly, learning languages isn't always just about the practicalities of it. I have never been to Hungary, am never likely to even visit Hungary. Yet if given the chance to learn Hungarian I would jump at it eagerly and with enthusiasm. Languages are cool. Learning new things is cool. Thus learning new languages is cool.

AITA for making my husband buy me a new Starbucks cup?quote:My husband is a very permanently angry person. He lives as though life in its entirety is an inconvenience. I know he has depression, and I do my best not to let his negative attitude get to me as his good qualities, in my opinion, out weigh the bad. quote:edits to answer questions We are in couples as well as individual therapy. We have always gone, no matter the status of our feelings. Happy, sad, frustrated, no matter our standing we always go. going to individual and couple's therapy for years and just can't get the hang of not throwing temper tantrums like a goddamn toddler. maybe it'll happen in a few more years, who knows

I (21F) don’t want to live or be with my boyfriend (23M) any more.quote:Last June my boyfriend and I moved in together. His birthday was in September, I wasn’t working at the time, but managed to scrounge up the money doing side gigs to make his birthday special. (PS5, a trip out of town and tickets to a NFL Game while we weee out of town) - and I’m not telling you this to paint me out as a perfect partner. But for a little background.

Invisible Clergy posted:AITA for not wanting to learn Japanese for my Japanese girlfriend? The only reasony attempt at learning Mandarin fell through is because I didn't have anyone to practice with and Duolingo only gets you so far. This dingus has someone willing to teach him a new language and he just goes "nah that sounds too much like hard work to me", seriously? That's an amazing opportunity and he's just pissing it away.

WIBTA if I go on a friend’s birthday getaway even if my girlfriend isn’t invited?quote:So Jess was my girlfriend’s friend first, and they’ve known each other a lot longer than I’ve known Jess, which is why my girlfriend is upset. However in the 2 years my girlfriend and I have been together, Jess and I have also become pretty great friends. We play video games together basically daily and usually hang out IRL together or with a group like 3-5 times a month.

AITA for honking at a man sitting in an empty parking space?quote:I [29F] was in a parking lot yesterday, and entered the parking aisle I wanted to park in. This aisle had probably 20 or so spaces, all of which were empty, with just one exception: the very first space in the aisle, the one closest to me, had a man (without a car) crouching in the center of it. He had a backpack open in front of him and it looked like he was searching for something in it. He didn’t appear to see me or hear me since his head was down, and I was driving slowly. top comment posted:INFO: What the hell is wrong with you?

AITA for leaving a couples trip in the middle of the night and “ruining” the vibe?quote:Last weekend was my (26Μ) birthday. Me and my GF of 2 years Kenzie (26F) had plans to get dinner. She came to pick me up from work and her car was packed and my best friend/his wife were in the backseat. To my surprise she planned a whole weekend away to my favorite lake, rented a sick house on the water and invited all our friends. Her sister/husband, my friends/their SO’s and a few of Kenzie’s friends all arrived Thursday night. It was an awesome and I was stoked for the weekend. We met thru my best childhood friend Grace (26F). Grace and kenzie were college friends and I never thought I had a chance. Kenzie is beautiful and while I’m not ugly, I’ve always felt like we weren’t in the same league. No idea how I got her and I still don’t.

Evil Willow posted:AITA for honking at a man sitting in an empty parking space? She was perfectly within her rights to honk at that man. He probably came to that parking lot by public transport, (like a poor). How dare he move out of the road into an empty space whilst looking for something in his backpack, surely he should have made Enrique search for it instead), and FORCE her to drive an extra 2 metres to the next free space.

My self esteem is in the shitter and I never felt a bigger mixture of just plain happy and sad that the bar is so low when my husband told me he's so happy cause I don't treat him like poo poo, tell him what he can or can't do, or belittle him. Guy needs therapy if he's that insecure.
