She’s a selfish parent who lacking further information at no point spoke to her daughter in any serious, respectful way about her feelings involving the divorce. Probably no therapy, either. Also just lol at “met probably too many of her father’s female guests” c’mon.

She's selfish because she wants to have a relationship with another adult that isn't her ex-husband? I'm pretty sure a 12-year old girl is manipulative enough to know that she can do whatever she wants at one parent's house, and the other has some rules, and she knows which she'd rather be in.

AITA for telling my wife to stop acting like we're not in a movie?

(*just noticed title, should be "acting like we're in a movie")

quote:

Throwaway account, writing this quickly before I have to go home to know whether I'm in the wrong or not. Long time follower, first time poster.

My (29M) wife (28F) and I have been together for about 10 years (married for 2 years), and while not the most affectionate person in public, I am quite affectionate at home when it's just us. Lots of hugs/kisses/physical touching, you name it. Both our love languages is quality time and physical touch, courtesy of her research.

In the past few months, she has joined the TikTok reels and wants to copy things she sees people do/ask their SO in reels or in movies (like when guys lift your chin, or kabidona-something? against a wall, or when the girl asks something to her spouse or boyfriend). So we'll be eating dinner and I'll be on my phone/working on my laptop, and there will be something in a video she sends me or on a show/movie we're watching, and she'll comment on it as it relates to us or want me to do something to her.

So this morning, she was watching a reel in bed, and it was a man running his hand through his partner's hair. She asked me to do it, and I said no. I might have been a little frustrated cause I was running late for work, and asked her "Why are you acting like this? We're not in a movie. Do I ask you these kinds of silly stuff?"

I could tell it made her upset and she didn't press it again, and I didn't think anything of it until later when she wasn't texting me like she usually does in the day. I text her asking her what she wants for dinner, and she said she doesn't care. And then she says she is still hurt about this morning about how I was a jerk this morning to her and invalidated how she felt.

AITA for telling her that this isn't a movie, and asking her why she was behaving like this? We hug and kiss all the time, so I feel like she is copying stuff just to get a reaction from me.

**

Edit: Bought my wife a cupcake and her favorite boba, and went home after work. She arrived half an hour after me, and pouted at me when she saw my peace offerings. We hugged, and I apologized for being an rear end this morning. She apologized for making me feel uncomfortable.

I asked her if she wanted me to do things like that to her, and she said sometimes. But she admitted that she sometimes missed the butterflies when we first dated. (Surprise, I didn't connect the dots that one of our friends just got into a new relationship and has been over the moon about all their cute moments) So I asked her what to tell me all the "booktoks" things she's watched that she likes, and she shyly showed me all the ones she bookmarked.

So yeah, gonna make the lady happy and sprinkle her weeks with some. And will take into account how to keep our life ~spicy~.

I love her, and for all you folks trying to hit on her, she's taken. Gtfo here. Thanks to all the folks who were kind enough to explain my mistakes and TikTok stuff to me, the good and the bad.

They are and one of the few instances where reappraisal is proper is when there's a significant life event, such as remarriage or cohabitation with a new family. The "whims" of a 12 year old are given moderate to significant weight depending on the basis and the judge. "I want to live with my dad because my mom makes me do my homework" isn't going to fly but I want to live with my dad because being forced into a blended family is something that causes me great anxiety" is another.

She's selfish because she made a promise to her kid that was existentially important to said kid and is now aggrieved at the consequences. By her own admission mom dated and that was fine. The line that she and her daughter agreed to draw was a blended family.

I know I stupidly agreed to not remarry in that moment, but that wasn't a realistic thing to promise and she has to know that.

Your honor, this is all a simple misunderstanding. My daughter somehow mistook my promise for something other than bullshit intended to shut her up.

Done in a polite matter-a-fact way but my mate still got his nose out of joint about it as it was obvious he was marked down compared to the rest of us (who were obviously marked down for being foreigners). He was about 260 pounds, six feet and could do a standing flip.

Oh thats absolutely the case, just he plans to live their long term aka get an apartment, so in my experience the bigger issue will be his foreignness and being an ESL foreigner to boot.

Ok for real this time, I present someone who's turbofucked.

Drug driving trial? What should I expect?

quote:

Hello I pleaded not guilty for drug driving, has anybody had a drug driving trial ? What should I expect? My defences was unknowingly consumed a weed cake & also I didn’t give the nurse consent to take my blood. I will be representing myself has this case is not entitled to legal aid, and the solicitors are expensive

redditor posted:

You should expect a conviction.

By that I mean, it's a strict liability offence, and you would have to offer some quite compelling evidence to indicate involuntary intoxication in this situation.

Also, refusing to consent to the blood test, would have given rise to its own separate charge even if the court did believe you.


OP posted:

How I sure the test result is reliable , theres been lots of scandals surround forensic labs manipulating with blood tests

OP posted:

This is just another example of why evidence must be challenged. It highlights the increasing number of cases that the Crown Prosecution Service fail to provide simple and basic evidence within a timely manner, in order to prove a case against the accused. The Crown Prosecution Service are relying more and more on guilty pleas being entered without such evidence being required and to be disclosed to those accused of motoring offences.

redditor posted:

Stop quoting from that MAJ Laws website, they're literally trying to sell you their services, they're not suggesting that you can run it yourself

OP posted:

Is it possible for the prosecution to make a mistake or one of the witnesses to not turn up which result in case being dropped also it's been adjourned once already which may have a strain on prosecution

redditor posted:

Seriously, listen to the advice you are getting and follow it.

DO NOT LET THE TRIAL GO AHEAD. CHANGE YOUR PLEA TO GUILTY.

Let the court know in advance that you are changing your plea so that the prosecution witnesses can be stood down and they can do something more productive with their day instead.


OP posted:

No chance. I got nothing to lose. If I get convicted for this it will have a very negative impact on my life so I might aswell test the integrity of the evidence, so I can say at least I tried. All it takes is 1 chain from their side to break then everything crumbles, I'll even get the forensic scientist to come to court if I have to. I will not assist the prosecution to convict me, they need to find me guilty beyond reasonable doubt and I'm not helping them to do that

OP posted:

The court can't make you pay what you can't afford, so because I'm not rich I should just bend over and plead guilty ? I still have the right to defend my self

redditor posted:

Your defense is non existent expect a conviction, don't attempt to drag a registered professional nurse down with you.

OP posted:

I'm hoping she won't make it to trial and the case gets dropped

redditor posted:

Did they pin you down and force the blood test?

OP posted:

No but I told the officer before I went in to the room I have a fear of needles and he said that's fine, they will take my urine. but when I went in it was a blood test so I went into shock and complied due to duress , I am now showing symptoms of ptsd due to this incident

OP posted:

My defence was unknowingly consumed came containing thc without my knowledge, my other defence was I didn't give the nurse consent to take my blood(I was coerced, was taken under duress) the prosecution witness is 1. Nurse 2. Police 3.police 4.police all 3 officers had different roles in the proceedings

At my trial date they was going to go to trial but I mentioned to the legal advisor that the prosecution failed to provide disclosure (show me the forensic evidence) I also didn't receive the analytical pack that your meant to receive on your first hearing when you enter not guilty plea. So they adjourned it until 4 months later which is coming up in 3 weeks

We don't really have plea deals , which is good because they're bullshit. But the maximum is 6 months in jail. Unless he caused an accident there's no way that's happening so he'd be looking at a fine and driving ban. But if you needed to drive for his job, then he might not even get the ban just get a suspended sentence.

If this is his first offence it's hard to see this being the right course of action for him.

is sentencing largely only in the hands of the judge who can decide your skin tone attitude pissed him off and hes sending you to jail for the max anyways? plea deals are bs because the public defenders want you to take one every time because youre his 20th case. so the da just offers em out unless they have a slam dunk case. so people who are innocent get pressured by their free attorney into taking it. legal aid in the us is as bad / good as our health care.

Yeah you get a third off your sentence if you plead guilty straight away, so at your first court appearance. It's still bullshit and shouldn't be in there but it's not as egregious as plea deals. That 1/3 can be substituted for other things like community service rather than in prison etc.

Yes but there are strict sentencing guidelines. Our court system is horribly broken but its largely pre-broken by our politicians rather than by our judges.
