He said in the comments that when he made the promise, he didn't know she would do badly, and she's not that much younger than her brother, so she had to have been doing fine enough at the time. I don't know where the other person got B's from.

AITA for ignoring my wife's social needs because she ignored my sexual needs?

quote:

I (27m) and my (26f) wife are long-distance for two weeks while she's working in another city. Generally, our marriage is good, healthy, and we're on the same page. But when we're apart, it's frustrating because she doesn't like to sext. She never has. She says it doesn't feel sexual at all to her, just uncomfortable, and that she doesn't like feeling I'm pressuring her to do it. Sometimes she'll throw me a bone with a sexy one-liner, but that's typically it.

These two weeks weren't that different. I'd start trying to steer us into sexting, and she'd say she was feeling "gross" or too uncomfortable (she's 5 mo pregnant) to reciprocate. That or she's too stressed from starting the new job,, or too tired because she gets home too late from work. Admittedly, she is under some stress but she makes 0 effort to try to keep up our sex life while we're apart. I'll send a picture, and she'll tell me she's at work (we're in different time zones). I'll start sending sexual thoughts, and she'll tell me she's at an after work event getting to know her new coworkers. Once, she told me to "put it in an email" and she'd respond to it later that night. Obviously I didn't do that.

Amazingly, at one point as part of a sexy one-liner she told me she was thinking about sending me a "nice pic." Okay, nice, nice. I was really waiting for it but it never came. She comes home tomorrow, so it's clearly not happening.

My wife as been acting like nothing has happened that's disappointing on her end. She's sending me memes and trying to start conversations like nothing's wrong. I haven't been responding much or at all. I didn't think it was noticable, but tonight she bluntly asked me if I could "interact" with her.

I guess this is where I may be the rear end in a top hat. I was pretty upset (I've been trying to quit vaping for the baby if that matters, it's melting my brain) and told her she has "FAILED to to meet ANY of my sexual needs." I did the text effect where it looks mocking and sent back some of the conversation starters she tried on me. I told her some of the things she tried to text me about I read in a retarded voice.

She called me an rear end in a top hat and told me to stop using my sexual needs to "punish her." She completely ended the converstion. Moreover, she told me not to pick her up from the airport tomorrow and that she would reschedule the ultrasound we have on Monday after she's cooled down. We're supposed to find out the gender then so that's not great.

I feel like my feelings are valid but maybe I went overboard. AITA here? Can we % this out? What % of this AITA vs what % is she just being neglectful and then overreacting?

Edit: I KNOW I overreacted but to get a better sense of things I sent her a nude and she said it was nice and then said her work shoes stink! When I confronted her about that she said she was sorry but she was getting ready for work and even if she had time to respond she just didn't register it as a sexy picture!

Edit 2: I have NOT sent nudes while she's at work. I've sent them while she's getting ready for work. I've sent sexual thoughts while she's at work or some work event but I DO GET not to send dick pics at work.

Edit 3: I also think I mischaracterized my "ignoring" her. I did respond to some of her messages. And it wasn't deliberate ignoring her I thought I was sparing her my feelings. I just wasn't able to keep them in ultimately.

I bet he'll be one of those dudes pointing at the calendar after she gives birth, like right down to the hour. THE DOCTOR SAID EIGHT WEEKS BEFORE SEX AGAIN AND HERE WE ARE.

AITA for deciding I won�t let my bf be a stay at home dad after I said he could be?

quote:

My bf(26M) and I(27F) have been together for 5 years. I make around $140k a year working as a QA manager and he makes $40-50k working as a warehouse forklift driver. He�s never been into working and we talked about him SAHD and I initially agreed because childcare is expensive (we want at least 2 kids).

7 month ago he lost his job when there was a push for unionization and some people were essentially bullied out. He was without a job and I agreed to cover living expenses fully if he does the housework, cooks, etc. Before I didn�t really think of his ability as a SAHD. In the 7 months I come home to empty beer bottles, trash on the coffee table the fridge is constantly empty because he was suppose to go buy groceries but never does. And when he does it�s mostly junk food. We originally agreed he would cook and he has cooked maybe 4 meals for me. I�m still doing most of the cooking and cleaning. Now I just can�t imagine him as a stay at home dad. He just sleeps in and barely applies for jobs. He just got one but that�s finally in response to me putting my foot down that I�m no longer supporting him. My mom was a SAHM and with 4 kids she still kept a spotless house and cooked every meal from scratch.

We�ve been fighting about this a lot recently and I have told him if we do have kids he has to work because he isn�t contributing at all now and so I can�t imagine he will do anything as a SAHD. He yelled that he has to apply for jobs and he�s under a lot of stress. But what�s the stress? He has everything taken care of and he barely applies to 1-2 jobs a day. He didn�t do anything we agreed upon what me taking care of finances and I don�t know how to move forward with the relationship. But AITA for no longer wanting him to be a SAHD now that I see what he�s been like the last 7 months?

Edit: thanks for all the comments. I�ve decided to end the relationship and will tell him this afternoon. This made me realize how resentful and unhappy I am with him and that is unlikely to change. To those who say he probably has depression, he may he has never communicated it but yes it could be the reason. But even if he does I doubt just by knowing it will fix my resentment. So it�s best we end on semi friendly terms.

Like, I'm on a four day weekend and there isn't much I can do with it being 120* outside, but loving hell I still took some free time to clean up the spare bedroom and do the dishes. I've hit up grocery stores twice and Costco. What is this loser's excuse?

He sounds like he's about two weeks out from doing that. Like, that kind of language ("she wasn't meeting my sexual needs!!!") is exactly the kind of thing some people use to justify cheating. The fact that she's busy working and pregnant doesn't seem to have entered his mind.

It was her gf, not bf, and I think it turned out more that she had a fetish for being cared for, with a whole thing about being a dirty pet that her caretaker had to clean. The OP, of course, had no clue about this until she lost her poo poo and finally asked wtf was up with the 0 hygiene, and had not consented or provided any verbal indication that she was into this. She just really didn't want to gently caress someone who was referring to themselves as a "dirty raccoon" so she'd bathe the gf before sex.

OP fled after it was revealed that this was a whole fetish, because that made it clear that there was no hope for improvement.

Bolding mine.

This kid is not your stepson. You are just his dad's wife. Someone whom, hopefully, he will ignore completely when he grows up. Just like you are doing to him now.

gently caress off OP. Most "evil step parent" stories here at least try to hide how much they hate their stepkids, and don't consider them family. You are going out of your way to say "This is NOT my child, and I consider him a burden and an outsider in MY family. Even though I have presumably known him as long as I have known my husband. I shall treat him visibly and materially worse than my REAL family."

I wonder how the kids dad feels about all this.

AITA for "guilt tripping" my brother into babysitting?

quote:

My wife and I have three boys - 10, 6 and 1. The 1yo was a total surprise. My wife and I aren't young anymore and we like to spend time alone so having a 1yo is really hard. In the beginning my 24yo half brother "Jason" would beg to come over and see our kids and babysit. Now he's saying he doesn't have time because he has a girlfriend.

I reminded that I was a teenager when he was born and took care of him when our mom and his dad were too messed up to do it themselves. I even convinced my dad to take him in when he was 5 and it was me who took him to school, made his meals and I even took two part time jobs to pay for his extracurricular activities. I gave him $3000 last year to get Lasik too.

I said after everything I did for him the least he could do is help out with the 1yo. The 10yo and 6yo can do sports,playdates and camp. I'm furious that I sacrificed a lot so my brother could turn out well and he can't find time to give me and my wife a break.

And no we're not hiring a sitter. After everything I've done for my brother he should be helping me out when I need it. He's accusing me of guilt tripping him and I am 110% not. I'm believe he owes me.

Evil Willow: Apr 26, 2007; Bored now...

My (26m) girlfriend (22f) is too enthusiastic when we get intimate and I can�t get past it

quote:

Throwaway account because my girlfriend is on Reddit.

I (26M) have been with my girlfriend (22F) for about 3 months now, and overall things have been good. She's nice and really pretty, but lately, I feel like our relationship has hit a rut.

Both of us have a high libido, and we used to have sex around 2-4 times a week. While this is good, it's not nearly enough for me. And I can't do it more frequently because of my girlfriend.

She usually initiates sex and is always enthusiastic when I do. Sometimes, I like to feel desired, so when she initiates, I say no, hoping she'll beg me, as it's a big turn on for me. The problem is, as soon as I say no, she stops, leaving me frustrated. This has been a consistent pattern, and I feel like she isn't putting in any effort.

Due to this issue, our sexual frequency has decreased significantly. Recently, I decided to have a conversation with her about how I feel she doesn't want to have sex with me anymore. Her response was that since I always say no, she decided to let me initiate whenever I'm in the mood.

I expressed my disappointment, saying that switching roles is immature of her and that it's not my responsibility. I reminded her that when we first got together, she was the one initiating. I also called her explanation of not wanting to pressure me because she thought I didn't like sex the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Furthermore, I told her to stop being so enthusiastic and loud during sex because it makes me feel like I have to top the previous performance every time we do it.

This led to a heated argument, where she called me a bunch of names and left. Since then, she has been refusing to answer my calls.

I feel like I might be the rear end in a top hat on the way express my needs to her, but I was really getting I frustrated because I've tried, but it feels like she isn't even listening.

How can I stop being self conscious about the loudness? How do I get her to see my point ?

TL;DR:I told my girlfriend to stop being so enthusiastic during sex, as it makes me feel pressured. We had a heated argument, and she's now refusing to talk to me.

quote:

Said GF here.

Stop lying to people Alex. First of all although we�ve known each other 7 months, we�ve only been together 3 months. You have never told me about your kinks and whenever I would try to get you to express yourself you never said anything.

I INITIATED the conversation and asked you why you always reject me. I left after YOU went ballistic on me because I am not doing my job at arousing you better (your actual words). As for me being to loud and enthusiastic, I don�t even know what to say� Never in my life as this been a problem and I would have appreciated that you kept our personal life personal. But since you already to make it public, I thought I might clear a few things up.
