My sister is married to a Debate Guy. He's not a bad dude and I love him but ugh. I've had great success ending the arguments, when I realise I'm in them, by saying lightly 'I'm sure you're right!' If you don't inflect it sarcastically they never work out what you're doing and the confusion shuts them up.

Gf wants to break up with me for something I did 3 years prior meeting herquote:Me[M26] and my gf[F25] have been together for a year, yesterday I confessed her that 4 years ago while on a trip in Monaco I paid a hooker to have sex with me, I didn't like it while it was happening and I've been regretting it since I've done it. I did it because some friends of mine wanted to do that and i didn't say no. The fault is mine I know that but i didn't even cum I didn't enjoy it and felt miserable for doing so. She went crazy because her ex who was a borderline manipulate person used to have sex with hookers while they were together and she started to say that I'm no different and that I disgust her for not telling her that prior. While I understand what's she's saying I don't know what to do because I love her and I know she loves me to be honest I don't even like having casual sex I think she thinks that I would do the same that happened with her ex who left her some ptsd. I feel like poo poo please help me let her know I'm not that kind of guy I don't want to lose her. In a comment: quote:The fact is that she once asked me if I ever did that while we started dating and I said no because I'm genuinely ashamed of what I did then yesterday she asked me again and asked to be honest about it so I told her the truth and she went crazy on me. Having a break would be the end of our relationship if done at the moment and I don't feel like losing her over something so irrelevant to me Everyone kind of turned on him after that and the consensus was that him having lied about it was what really made him an rear end in a top hat. I guess my question would be exactly how early in the relationship are we talking here? "Have you ever had sex with a prostitute" is expecting a lot of candour for a first date.

I'd agree to it, celebrate Celeste getting her PhD, then announce, "And then . . . there's Melissa." And let everyone politely golf clap. Like, how is the husband expecting them to make Celeste's accomplishment about Melissa? Are they supposed to find something to celebrate her for, too? "Melissa managed to finish the whole carton of milk before it went bad."?

Mx. posted:AITA for telling my husband that if he doesn’t stop his daughter I will ban her from our celebration? God I hate 'you know how they are' as a reason to just accommodate grown adults being dicks. My guy your daughter is like that because you consistently let her get away with being like that, and it's not unfair for other people to decide that they don't want to do deal with the adult toddler. Makes me wonder whether the son is still around, and whether he's also expected to just make his life about his sister. How do you make a graduation party also about someone else anyway? Only graduation parties I've ever been to have basically just been a regular piss-up with maybe some toasting, it's not like a birthday party where you can engage in some enforced present redistribution. Congratulations to Celeste on her PhD, everyone please remember to thank Melissa for the valuable contribution of her presence. Cheers.

Mx. posted:AITA for banning my husband from visiting my sister with me because he won’t stop trying to "debate" her and her husband? In addition to the obvious, the thing I really hate about the, “well you studied it, it’s your job to debate me” poo poo is that it’s exactly the opposite. While the sister in law busted her rear end to learn this material, the husband hasn’t done poo poo. Every time he brings up a dumb point, she’s going to have to go all the way back to the basics just to counter it and then he moves on to the next dumb idea. gently caress him, I hope he ends up divorced and alone. It’s like arguing with creationists or anti-vaxxers. Christ, I nearly shouted someone down for trying to claim that the “m” in “mRNA” stood for “modified”.

quote:That’s what [what would she be celebrating?] I kept saying when reading through these comments. All he could do was parrot about being “fair” even though his idea of fairness involves not being fair to Celeste One of the perks of being an adult is that you can have a party for any reason, or even no reason at all. Then stepdaughter doesn't need to appropriate a party, and everyone gets an extra party. Win-win!

I think at the end of my first serious relationship nearly 20 years ago that it's not about winning an argument.

AITA for refusing to pay my friend who I let stay at our house for freequote:I [25F] have a friend [24F] who has been staying over at our house for the past few days from out of town. We’re not super close, we were friends in middle and high school but haven’t been super close since then because she moved away from the community. OP helpfully named their throwaway 'i-aint-the-rear end in a top hat' quote:To be honest I am kind of mad that she left the community. We were so close before that, and I honestly just don’t think her reasons for leaving were valid. She kind of just wanted to go out and do things that she wasn’t allowed to, and now she’s demanding that I give her an exorbitant amount of money after inviting her back with open arms.

AITA for not allowing MIL to fight with her husband in front of my children?quote:MIL's love language is bickering. before I met her I didn't think that was a thing, but I've known her for years and it really is. She was single when I met her and a lot of guys bored her, because they didn't want to fight with her, played too nicely, or just didn't find her constant sarcasm funny in general.

Christ, I was a violist for the better part of a decade and you *never* gently caress with other people's musical instruments. The zippered case they describe is a pretty standard case for anyone who owns their own instrument, and look like this if you're curious. They're on the heavier side, and they're going to take a minute for a three year old to open up but are otherwise pretty drat secure. That mother is a giant rear end in a top hat.
