Welcome the Cryptorchids, and their new hit sing, How's It Not Hanging?


WIBTA if I (30F) talk to my sister (33F) about how much screen time my niece and nephew are getting?

Do we count computer or phones as screen time? Because I usually tap out at a single movie or show, but the computer/phone feels more engaging.

AITA for not wanting to work with my ex-boyfriend and forcing him to commute further

Only works on the ones who give a poo poo about being patriotic, which an increasingly large percentage of the younger generations do not.

Which is imo a good thing, the fuckheads with an excess of MURICA on the brain are the ones causing all the goddamn trouble! Less nationalism, please and thank you.

quote:

My (22F) and my bfs (23M) cat is 2 years old and I love her with all my heart. I say “our cat” but she’s really mine. She’s lived with me her whole life. I have taken care of her. She loves me so much and you can really tell. She cuddles every night with me to go to sleep. I love her with my whole heart.

My bf recently came to me with the idea to travel to Australia for a year, two years from now. I loved the idea. I was completely on board and told him that I want to go however if I can’t bring my cat then I’m not doing it. Well I just found out that I can’t bring her because of the breed she is. I don’t want to go anymore. It simply is just no longer is an option for me. I told my bf this. He asked me if he applies to jobs there and gets offered one that I wouldn’t move with him. And I told him no. He then proceeded to tell me that he would break up with me at that point. He thinks I’m prioritizing the cat over my life and living experiences. I have no issue with travelling and leaving my cat for like a month (I have done that once before). But a whole year without her would break my heart. She’s basically my baby. I don’t feel like I’m really that crazy with my pet. Do I just leave my pet behind and move to Australia for a year? Or do I stand my ground and maybe only travel for a month somewhere?

AITA for choosing my cat over my bfs and my experiences in life? Or is he ta for expecting me to drop something I love so much to travel?

TLDR: bf wants to go to Australia for a year and I don’t because I can’t bring my cat. He thinks I’m crazy

I believe the redditor who innocently and not at all hopefully asked his long term girlfriend if she wanted to open the relationship, just for a laugh, out of curiosity. Definitely no ulterior motives there, no sir!

quote:

Why does your non-blonde, non-white GF even know you like blonde white girls? Who told her this?
OP: To be completely honest I have a close friend who fits that description who I, according to my gf, flirted with once when my gf was near by. And since she was my close friend I talked about her a lot. We worked through it though.

You didn't answer my question.

OP: I’m just saying that’s how she came to that conclusion

You said she "knows" you like blonde white girls, lol, not that she "thinks you do." So she read hints you don't know you're giving off, and then you dropped a bomb on her. Sorry man, this relationship is toast.

quote:

You wanted to marry her yet you already had a coworker in mind to gently caress if your GF was ok with opening the relationship? ROFL She made the right decision to dump you

OP No I didn’t? My gf brought up the coworker

Would you have been interested in the coworker if your ex agreed to the open relationship?

OP That’s never crossed my mind.

That doesn't answer my question.

AITA For Cooking Steak In My House?

quote:

INFO: NTA, but I have to ask this. It's a little unclear in your post ... does the roommate object to all cooking smells or just the smell of steak? Because if it's just steak ... it might not be a terrible idea for you to appease him and just barbecue the steak outside until you can find a new place to live.

OP posted:

It's any food smells. Any meat, oven food, or even raman. If it makes a scent while it's being cooked, he doesnt like it.

quote:

NTA ---- If he can't stand the smell of cooking what does he do then for food???.

OP posted:

He legit just lives off of peanut butter, nuts, beef jerky bread, and fruit/vegetables.

Breed aside, I don't think she's the rear end in a top hat here. She's not picking her cat over the relationship to not want to rehome the cat for a loving year long trip to another country. Just make it a shorter loving trip jeez.

I think when you're at the point of talking about breaking up over something that's pretty likely to happen, that's a good time to call it. But no one's the rear end in a top hat here, except maybe the cat because most cats are.

e: not this one though I love him

Look at baby!

To my understanding, Australia & NZ are also the hardest countries to bring pets in & out of anyway. I know a couple people who moved to NZ for ~a year for work and it wasn’t realistic to bring their cats with them (so the cats stayed behind with family). Island countries have longer quarantines & restrictions regarding rabies, Aus & NZ have even more restrictions.

Yesterday he showed up at my sister’s. Puppy eyed and all, with takeouts from my favorite restaurant, flowers chocolate and ice cream (why do they always think food solves everything?). He started apologizing and saying that he loved me and that he would never hurt me. I asked him to start being honest with me, if he had feelings for her and if they’ve done something. He swore nothing happened and that he doesn’t have feelings towards her. I told him that he wasn’t honest because why would he let her in my home, knowing how much it would hurt me (and cost him) if he had no feelings for her, why risk your marriage? He couldn’t answer that more that that he didn’t think it was bad since he was secure in his feelings and in our marriage. He then admitted that he liked the attention. So you knew before she admitted it that she liked you? -Yes.

He gave me his phone and all his texts and told me to see how he never once flirted or made any advances. I don’t know, I was very sad reading and hearing all this. I told him that they disrespected me. Her last text to him is that she loved him and she would make him happier that I ever could. There was also messages with mean things about me to him and instead of confronting her he ignored her or laughed it of. When I asked him about it he apologized and said she was obviously jealous so I didn’t want to engage.

John figured out where I work and started going to our place regularly as a customer.

He said that he would like to work in our company, but in a branch that is about 12 miles away so that we don't work together.

quote:

A few weeks ago he asked me if my boyfriend would mind if we all happened to work together (in our team of 10 people) and I said probably yes, but it would definitely make ME uncomfortable.

quote:

John applied to our branch. The boss asked me if I wanted to work with him and I said no; but that I will refer him to a branch 12 miles away. The boss said that...if he likes him, he will recommend him elsewhere, but that he will definitely not work in our team.

quote:

I asked John why he wanted to work at our branch even though I told him it would make me uncomfortable. He replied that he thought I wasn't serious about that and that he has finally gotten over our breakup and that he plans to move to a new apartment located 15 minutes from our branch (he wants to live super close to me and my boyfriend).

[Final Update] OOP thinks that she shouldn’t stop her husband having an affair, her mother thinks differently

Long story with lots of updates, you can look it up yourself in r/BORUpdates, but I just wanted to highlight this bit from the final update

This guy's brilliant plan to win his wife back after getting all flirty with his new neighbor was to show her the text message stream where he laughed off all of times she was insulted.

Shockingly, it didn't work.

Hello a few months ago I went to a friends house and his parents said "help yourself to whatever you want from the fridge" and so later I went to that fridge and I saw three very nice steaks. I put them in their crock pot with some coca cola and barbeque sauce to try to make a bbq steak stew. I also put a potato.

Well my food was not even done cooking when I heard a ruckus and was yelled to come to the kitchen. There I see the parents and they are very upset at me, and angry too. They say why am I ruin their steaks? I say they told me I can have anything in the fridge. They tell me to go away from their home and I ruined their steaks. I did not even get to try my stew.

Now I am banned from their house and also it causes me to not be friends with my good friend anymore, he told everyone what I did and people call me "Steak Soup Boy" all the time. First of all it was a stew. Second of all they told me I could has any food in the fridge. So I think I do not know what about it.

Thanks.

—————- will make it really clear, her boobs are literally falling out of it. She moves and pop the girls are out.

We went shopping for bridesmaid dresses and we found one we all liked, it is a v line strapless dress. Now my one friend Cindy has a much bigger chest than the rest of us so when she tried it on her breasts were basically popping out. Everyone else has a smaller chest didn’t have this problem at all.

We tried a larger size and it way too baggy with that so we talked to the employee and they suggested a panel to give more support and coverage. I informed Cindy that we will add a panel to hers and it will be all good. She got really mad at me and told me I was shaming her. She called me an rear end in a top hat and left. My other bridesmaid are on my side especially since I am paying for the dress and we all know dresses look different on people since everyone has different body types.

She informed me if I don’t let her go as is she will drop out of the wedding . AITA?

Update: I informed everyone we need to find a different dress. And now I am getting pissed off text since we have been shopping five times before this and this was the only dress everyone liked.

Actually I thought about it, I’m done. I have 8 bridesmaids we’re I only wanted one since family. We have gone threw so many dresses, that no one could agree on. I was going to pay for them since not everyone could afford it when I don’t have too. I didn’t want a church wedding but apparently I had too. Nope I’m done this was the last thing, I’m getting the wedding I want and the family can screw it. I am keeping my bff and the rest can screw off. I’m not even friends with almost all of them. I am moving my venue. I’m done.

Was going to have to spend 1,600 on everyone I’m not paying for a tailor. I’m done.

Mom disowned him, it’s over. He wouldn’t backdown about having the wedding we wanted, bottoms up everyone he just lost his family. Maybe they she will change his mind but I think he is over his fmsily also, I didn’t even get into the poo poo he has been dealing with on his side with the wedding.
