I was surprised by the flat "I will admit that my wife can be particularly nasty" admission - usually these stories have the OP swear that their wife/boyfriend/chiropractor/conjoined twin/whatever is kind and wonderful and sweet and loving and good-hearted before going on to describe the awful things that they did.

ah yes, someone managing to leave through a bedroom window instead of just leaving, just something to casually leave at the end of the story like that

OP posted:She sent a final text to me saying that it was because of our alarm system. We arm it at night but regardless of day or night, it loudly announces when a door has been opened. I would've tried to talk her out of it, but I wouldn't have physically stopped her or anything. quote:In other words, she was so afraid of your wife that she didn't want her to know that she was leaving. OP posted:I wouldn't say afraid. I'd just say that she wanted to be undetected. see? nothing was wrong with it, it's fine

No mention of daughter’s biological mother, no mention of why op isnt with daughter’s mother, the friend who stooged the daughter out is apparently an rear end in a top hat too… Nothing unusual here, as you were everyone

AITA for hugging my own son?quote:My son Allen is 11 and in the 6th grade. He and I are very close. I work remotely and do my own schedule and can literally work from my phone so I volunteer in one of his classes a couple of days a week. I can't even imagine. My tweens were horribly embarrassed by being dropped off in a Scion xB that had plastic flames on the side. Kisses in front of their friends? No. AITA for getting a pregnancy craving during a party? quote:I 29 female am pregnant with my boyfriend Sam 32. Sam and I went to a party for his family. No momentous occasional just a normal family get together. During my pregnancy I have had intense cravings.

AITA for pretending not to remember a former coworkerquote:I (29m now) worked at a bookstore for about 5 years starting my sophomore year of college. The last year was absolute hell thanks to a manager, Ashlee (30f now).  Actively cutting lovely people from your past out of your life owns, and it owns double if you can gaslight and confuse them in the process. NTA *bangs gavel*

Not sure where people are getting the idea she's afraid. She just left the house the same way you would leave a date that was giving off "I am going to rape and murder you" vibes. Clearly she will be back from the bathroom any minute now...

Runcible Cat posted:AITA for telling my 12 yr old niece to not make life any harder for her mum? Ah, yes, the 12 year old needs to be calm and collected because it's just so hard living in that house that the parents are worn out. I kind of wonder if these people would even understand the irony if you read their own words back to them really slowly.

AITA for not wanting my roommate to move out?quote:I (27F) have lived with my roommate (26F) since last august. Our apartment is a one-bedroom, but we turned the living room into her bedroom by adding a japanese-style divider for privacy. It's not perfect, but it works. I found the apartment for us last year through a family member and did everything with regards to setting up utilities, insurance. But I couldn't afford it on my own and I offered her to be roommates since we are friends I knew she was looking for a place. Since I found the apartment, I have the bedroom. We split everything (rent, etc) 50/50. It's a two-year lease but with a clause that we can break the lease with 1-month notice (its like this because its through my family friends), but we agreed we'd probably stay for 2 years. How could roommate possibly give up a deal like that?

I have also lived in a living room for a while, but it was because I was a horrible college student and mostly needed a place to sleep off hangovers and store my piles of clothes. I don't think I would have done it as like, a longterm lifestyle choice if I had had the option of a real bedroom. Also, my living room had a door

Barudak posted:They dont even have to walk away from their problem, all they gotta do is stop visiting it. But that’s not their only problem. That is their easiest problem to solve. The lovely jobs, multiple children, likely no support network problems are worse. It’s gotta be hard to think rationally with all the other stuff. Again, I agree that walking away from home-invasion-hubby is the easy bit. I dislike the word “hubby”, but it fits in this case.

i've never been into her space without permission, i just go to and fro on the other side of the divider and talk to her through it whenever i feel like it, that's exactly as good as having a door you can close and actual privacy, isn't it? what do you mean trade with her, are you loving crazy? i'd never live like that, i found the place!

Evil Willow posted:AITA for asking my wife to stop dancing for me until she gets better? Similarly: AITA- Had a nude portrait of myself made for my husband and it backfires. quote:I (40F) recently submitted some nude photos of myself to an artist who does drawings to see if he thought anything would make a good portrait for my husband. (39M) He said some did and he would like to draw me. Now, this guy is a renowned, published artist. A quick search of "modern nude figure illustrations" on Amazon would probably pull up one of his books. Anyhoo, he charges anywhere from $300-500 per commissioned piece. When I surprised my husband with the finished work, he became angry. He said I should have told him I was submitting photos, and wants to know what I did "in exchange" for the art. Apparently, he doesn't believe anyone would work on something they enjoy doing for free. Words were exchanged, and I was told I'm a whore who needs someone else's validation that I'm attractive. I said he is a jerk with no self confidence that doesn't trust his wife. AITA for not telling him upfront what I was planning and accepting a (digital copy) piece of art for free?

I've had customers approach me or sit next to me in public because they misinterpreted my friendliness as part of my job as genuine interest in socializing. The worst is being repeatedly asked on a date. And then being accused of lying when I said I was taken. gently caress you, rear end in a top hat. Don't call me a liar. Your chances just went from zero to negative ten thousand for that.

Your chances just went from zero to negative ten thousand for that. Then why were you flirty you drat tease! I distinctly remember being in my early twenties and the customer was probably in his 40s asking me out, not on a date, but to his house directly so I could see how he fed the crickets I was counting them to his various lizards. One of my very few times on the dating scene, many years ago, I was in a comic book shop, and yes it was exactly what you envision, and I was just their browsing transformers stuff, bought something, and when I went to leave the cashier who look like a thinner younger version of The comic book Guy asked me if I like to transformers and if I would like to come to his house and watch transformers forever. Needless to say I did not take him up on that offer.
