If he unilaterally took off with the kids it's no wonder the mother's family are pissed off and vengeful. Sounds like he's made a whole string of bad decisions (and is dead set on making more if the family are trying to make OP play Mata Hari).

Electric Wrigglies posted:The only way that could make any sense at all is if by "his" truck, it is actually the company truck assigned to him and therefore he considered it "his". Some guys do take it that far but I think in this case the Supervisor is just tapped in the head and is confused over who owns the vehicle. yeah, ive never heard of something this insane before so im thinking the sup is wrong about the trucks ownership, because like you said some people get real possessive over things they do not actually own in these situations.

Kuros posted:AITA for sleeping and missing plans with my sister then getting mad at her Kind of, yeah? All the stuff about being a CNA and the rich fiance really aren't relevant. She made plans, seemed to blow it off, her sister was irritated so the OP immediately went for a personal attack. She should have checked her phone and made sure it was on, then she could have napped while waiting. Sister is an rear end in a top hat for running her errands first, but at least she let the OP know. Both are assholes, but OP is a bigger one. Unless I'm missing something big...

in today's episode of "soon to be estranged parents": AITA for refusing to pay my daughter's tuition after she lied about her major? quote:I'll keep this short. My daughter, who is 19, told me she was going to college to major in computer science. I was ecstatic about this because she's been set on majoring in illustration. For years I've been trying to talk her out of it. I know she loves illustration but it is extremely hard to get a steady job out of that. I wanted her to do something she could be successful in. I want her to have a wider range of opportunities.

haveblue posted:It sounds very much like he broke her heart and mind with an affair and then moved out and took the kids with him once she was fully destabilized. gently caress this guy and I hope the powerful connected family destroys him This. Also I totally understand her having a mental breakdown over a traumatic life event like her main supportive relationship and family breaking down immediately and aggressively. The guy cheated on her, left her, then took the kids. He tried to just pull up stakes and start over with a new woman replacing his wife while she would be left behind. Imagine just losing your whole family and suddenly being alone. That's loving trauma.

Cythereal posted:Was talking on discord with some goons about classic stories from these threads, and I don't know if this thread had this classic yet. Yes, reincucknation is one of our favorite stories, I believe from the first thread. AITA for asking my bf to stop being nice to his tattoo artist quote:I (23f) and my boyfriend (25m) went to a different city to get tattoos from this girl. His tattoo was very complex (full chest and part of his back) so it took a few sessions and the tattoo artist really enjoyed the project, she was flirting with us (being vocal about being sexually active and liking girls as well) the whole time. At first I didn't mind because we both liked her as well and discussed loving her between us (as we have done with other ppl before) even though it was obvious she only wanted to gently caress him and didn't mind me because I'm hot; but then during our last session she was really weird towards me. When she was done with my boyfriend he went to sleep on the couch and it was my turn. She made comments about how tired she was of lame tattoos and how she wished she only had to make stuff like my boyfriend's, it was really awkward and I didn't want anything to do with her after that.

NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:Look, kid, you ruined my dance "career" at 16 by having the temerity to be born, so you could at least have the decency to be a do-over of my own crushed dreams instead of a real human being! At least we know mom is good at Horizontal Mambo Sounds like terminal boomer brain quote:I don't want her to be miserable but a big part of life is doing something that doesn't particularly make you happy in order to succeed. Stability outweighs happiness sometimes and there's no other way about it. I've done it, my wife's done it, my daughter wouldn't be the first.

I'm not getting an impartial narrator vibe from the guy using passive tense and vague references to mental health issues to power wash his brother's reputation.

AITA for not getting my SIL a baby shower gift after she wouldn’t take my handmade one?quote:Due to financial challenges I am currently broke right now. This coincided with my sister in law’s baby shower. It’s the first baby born to any of my siblings so it’s a big to do. I had money set aside but had to use it to cover some unexpected expenses that came up with my car. By the time I got things sorted and got around to the registry, the smaller items were gone and all that was left were the big ticket ones of 100+ dollars which honestly I can’t afford. But I can knit pretty well and have a yarn stash so in downtime between work, and general life I knitted up a baby blanket for my new niece. I did pick up some smaller items too, pacifiers, some of those little texture books and whatnot. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Invisible Clergy posted:AITA for asking my bf to stop being nice to his tattoo artist Lol this guy is dumb and the tattoo artist sounds like she kinda sucks too. Years ago I had an artist I went to for all my tattoos and really appreciated and my way of showing "appreciation for his work" was to always tip in cash and grab him an energy drink from the convenience store before I left. His way of being nice to me was during a long session one time letting me watch a rip of Rampage he'd found somewhere when it was still in theaters. That guy was cool, I hope he's doing alright. e: Also dad in the knitting story sucks; it's adorable when guys knit. Knitting is cool.

I'm late to the Everest chat, but whenever someone brings up Reddit and Everest, I remember this: https://old.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/4idnt5/what_happened_to_the_redditor_who_promised_to/ https://old.reddit.com/r/Fitness/comments/3gav3y/i_just_paid_a_15000_nonrefundable_deposit_to/ OP blanked the original post, but this remains in a comment: quote:Final edit: It looks like the consensus here is that I'm going to die. As someone pointed out earlier, Everest has been successfully climbed by a 79 year old woman, a 14 year old girl, and a guy with no legs, just to name a few. But clearly, a guy who is just a bit out of shape but still moderately athletic is definitely going to die, and take the lives of many Sherpas in the process.

I don't get why he's so butt hurt about her doing animation anyway, she probably could have finagled a computer-adjacent job out of that if she couldn't get a foothold in that specific industry. We have people at the agency I work at who primarily do animation.
