ABSOLUTE FUCKING GUDGEON

Baron von Eevl posted:

This is an incredible one-two:
"His stepmother was wondering why he was acting like this. I'm pretty sure I know the answer but he won't believe that."

What's so incredible is that the second sentence isn't a response to the question in the first sentence; they're completely unrelated statements. The latter is a response to "is my husband the rear end in a top hat," which not only had she not asked yet, is not the name of the subreddit.

Once she explained, I understood it as the below, which does connect the two sentiments:

"His stepmother was wondering why he was acting like [such an rear end in a top hat]. I'm pretty sure I know the answer [is that he is the rear end in a top hat, because even his stepmother was shocked], but he won't believe that [he is being the rear end in a top hat in this scenario]."

just a LOT of info she omitted, enough that it's open to interpretation

Well, one of us must have killed him!
WIBTAH if I don’t let BF ride w/me to hospital if he smells?

quote:

It’s baby day 🎉 my induction is scheduled to start tonight.

I told boyfriend this morning that if he comes back from work smelling like ✨special✨ plants he’ll have to go home and take a shower before he comes to the hospital. We live separate and his moms house is about half an hour further from the hospital than mine, so he replied “I won’t have time, I’ll just spray myself with cologne”. I told him that wouldn’t work, I know when he does that because he smells like a dumpster plus a whole bottle of cheap cologne and it makes me feel like throwing up.

He just kind of…stared at me. Repeated that he wouldn’t have time to go home for a shower and that he took one this morning so he’s good.

Would I be the a hole if he shows up stinky and I tell him he has to go take a shower before he comes to the hospital? He won’t miss anything besides check in.

Weed is illegal where we live and I’m not playing around with my baby getting anywhere near taken from me because he can’t abstain for one or two days.

AITA for picking the same name for my baby as my BIL's unborn baby?

quote:

Throwaway,

My (31F) husband (33M) and his brother (36M) aren't super close, but we all get along well. My BIL is pretty nice overall, but he does seem to be a bit jealous of my husband and just everything we have (but my husband told me that it's always been like this so it's not really a big deal).

I'm currently pregnant with a baby girl (our first baby), and we've been discussing possible names. There's one that we're pretty sure of, it's not super 'out there' but I think pretty unique nowadays and I really like it. The issue is, this is the name that BIL and his girlfriend had picked out for their baby 3 years ago (if it was a girl because they didn't know yet), but the baby unfortunately died. His girlfriend chose the name from her favorite ballet, and I remember she would say that if she ever had a daughter she'd name her that. We were at a family event over the weekend and I mentioned that we had that name in mind. BIL looked kind of surprised and said that was the name they'd picked for their daughter. My husband said that we know but we just thought it was a really nice name. BIL started saying if we could reconsider and that there are other names, and this one's really special to him. I said that we decided on the name , and he actually didn't even know if his baby was going to be a girl or a boy. He was upset and kept saying that we should reconsider, I got a little mad and told him that he doesn't own the name, and they should be hoping for a healthy baby rather than worry about names. BIL dropped it after that, but my SIL (my husband's sister) told me and my husband that we don't care and we're intentionally hurting him.

The name in question: Odette

OP posted:

Okay maybe I should've been clearer in my post. Sometimes when me and BIL's girlfriend would chat we'd just randomly go on the topic of wedding planning, baby names etc. She mentioned that there's this name she likes and if she ever had a daughter she'd probably name her that. She had one for a son too. In fact, we didn't even know she was pregnant until after she died.

Name fight with bum baby daddy

quote:

We’re not married, this is a birth control fail baby that I (34F) only started getting excited and less stressed about at 6 months. I see baby daddy (34M) once a week for a couple hours and he thinks that’s all the constitutes a relationship…a relationship that he didn’t want until I told him I was pregnant. We were solidly in the FWB category until then. When he found out I wasn’t renewing my current lease he asked me if I wanted to move into his parents basement with my two other small children, he doesn’t want to leave their house. This is turning into a baby daddy rant so I’ll move on, lol.

I’ve tried telling baby daddy that what goes on this baby’s birth certificate is what he’s going to have to fill out ALL future paperwork with so it needs to be reasonable…but baby daddy absolutely will not give up on the anime names. Vash, Naruto, Spike, Roy, Eren, Takashi, a bunch of other extra Japanese names…neither one of us is anywhere near Asian. Also, baby daddy doesn’t have a middle name so he doesn’t want baby to have a middle name. Just an anime first name and his last name.

Am I being a snotty brat by thinking that he’s not putting any kind of effort in so he doesn’t get to be the sole namer? Not going to be living with us, only spending time with us once a week for two or three hours…

I told him from the beginning if he didn’t stop sending me anime name suggestions I would fill out the birth certificate without his input…would it be wrong to hold up to that?

UPDATE: I tried to compromise and let him have an anime middle name, but he refused. He doesn’t have a middle name so he’s against them. I give up, I’m naming the kid without his input. He contributed half an ingredient, my body is doing the rest and my wallet has opened for all the supplies. Freaking girl power💪✌️

"after" work, yes. sure.

Like, I smoke pretty regularly (:canada:), but we have a kid now (8 weeks old) and I quit going hard months ago. I'll have a joint after a real rough day - once the kid is asleep and the dishes are done and the wife is settled etc. Some people just can't see past their own needs and it makes me sad when they have kids.

I'm usually in the camp of "don't let other people tell you what name you can or can't give your child" but this seems particularly callous on the OP's part. I don't quite know if it crosses into "you're the rear end in a top hat" territory but it sure seems lovely of them and their only attachment seems to be "my family member said she liked the name and that made me realize I also think it's pretty" which is kinda flimsy against "we were going to give this name to our miscarried baby."

AITA for telling my boyfriend I want our joint savings account to be named after me only, even though we both contribute equally, because I'm afraid he'll lose the money again?

quote:

First of all; I'm sorry for any misspellings. Second; I'm sorry if some of my terminology is wrong. I'm trying to be a part of my boyfriends financial decisions, but I'm still learning.

Yes, the title is bad, But it's the truth. My boyfriend is a Bitcoin day trader. He can make in a day what I make in 2 weeks, but he can lose the same amount in an hour.

We used to have a joint savings account, but one day he gambled everything on some "sure investment" and lost the entire account, plus a lot of his own money. He said one of the "coin makers" lied to him and stole the money from everyone. That money was supposed to go to the first payment on a house and moving expenses, but it was all gone because of a scam.

It took me a lot of time to accept what happened. I'm still not sure what I would have done if he hadn't given me my money back.

We're still planning to buy a house together, but now I demand to be the only one that can control that money.

He told me I'm a control freak, That I don't believe in him or his businesses and that I'm pissed that he makes more than me. Accept I don't. I literally have a stable income and benefits from my job.

He told me that he will become a millionaire and buy himself every house he wants, because now he "makes the coins himself" and he is afraid I'm going to leave him and take his money. I told him that if we break up I'll open the savings account and split it down the middle so we both get what we paid for.

I love him, but I don't trust him with my money. I feel like I'm dating a gambler. Is it wrong of me to be this controlling? He makes me feel stupid for not understanding his work, but maybe I am just financially illiterate. I don't know. Thoughs?
