Forget to plug your phone in so the battery dies while you're out and then ask to borrow hers to check reddit.

Then post an update and await further instructions while we figure out how you open the text app accidentally.

He promised he wouldn't snoop, so now he can't use this evidence in the court of relationship law. He's cuckholded forever, I'm afraid.

She's on near full bedrest at 7 months, that's not normal at all. She's probably afraid she's going to die and her husband's leaving overnight to help a guy who has family living with him right now to watch and take care of him. She has an elderly aunt that he sends over to check "sometimes" and nothing else.

This is info from replies, of course. He didn't mention in the post that his friend has family living with him to support him right now and she has nothing else.

This whole story is sad top to bottom, including the fact that this is likely terrible health advice that's still traditionally given, hurting women for no documented improved pregnancy or baby outcomes. Lifting restrictions, reduction of active exercise, and potentially reduction in working hours (depending on the job) have very good benefits, but full "bed rest" is harmful. Regardless, even if she can get out of bed, get her own water, etc, this is unquestionably a terrifying time and she needs emotional support, companionship, and yes, someone just there able to help out with the stuff that is a bit more heavy or exhausting or requiring extensive effort. He needs to prioritize her!

Anyway, I think this is where I first learned this, years ago: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/11/26/669229437/rethinking-bed-rest-for-pregnancy

And when I was searching for it again, I found the mayo clinic agrees it's inadvisable: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/pregnancy-week-by-week/in-depth/pregnancy/art-20048007

This poor woman is being let down by literally everyone in her life right now, personally and professionally, during a terrifying period of life.

Partner left me put of poker night.

I kind of understand why the husband doesn't want OP there. If you have 5 people who are really into poker and one who isn't, it makes for a weird dynamic at the table. Either the newbie is constantly slowing things down with "does a flush beat a straight?" and "How much are the blue chips worth again?" Or they promptly lose all their money and then just sit there awkwardly watching everyone else play. The way to solve it is still not by locking them in the bedroom like a dog though.

'You'll be chilling in the bedroom right?' could just as easily mean 'I assumed you didn't want to come for some reason not mentioned in the post'. Hard to know, because she didn't say 'haha what, no, I want to play'

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.

I think there was a Dan Savage paraphrase itt that said "If you're snooping on your partner's phone, your relationship is over. The only question left is whether it died because of their infidelity or your lack of trust."

AITAH for walking away after I discovered my fiancé had intercourse with a douchebag?

quote:

I will keep this as short as possible because I don't want to waste your time but for some context, me (27M) and my ex (27F) have been in a relationship for 7 years soon to be married although that will never happen.

I discovered her affair by simply seeing a message on her phone from douchebag talking about how good sex was, stupidly enough, she didn't even attempt to cover her tracks, she simply had what I assumed was AP name saved in contacts, I should have felt anger but I simply felt, I just accepted she wasn't the one I could spend the rest of my life with.

Recently my wardrobe broke down so I had to use luggage's as a makeshift wardrobe for the time being so my clothes was already packed up which saved me time.

I waited for my ex to go work and I just left a note on fridge saying have fun with douchebag and moved out, her name is on the lease so I could leave without any consequences, there was some furniture I bought but oh well, I also blocked her.

For the time being I'm couch surfing at my brother and sisters house and I feel calm and peaceful checking out however she sobbed a lot to my parents and they aren't happy that l checked out without hearing her perspective but I simply felt nothing (My fiancé did have a good relationship with my parents) my sibling on the other hand think I did nothing wrong.

Maybe I am an rear end in a top hat for not caring, maybe I'm justified for what I did so AITA?

Also I have a question for anyone who cares, what would you do in my situation? Let me know.

Love the implication that if the AP was a decent guy he'd have been okay with it.

Wife wants me to wear something under my swim trunks and I prefer not to.

quote:

So a few summers ago my wife (40) told me (45) I need to wear a liner briefs under my swimsuit. I don't think it is necessary as the swim trunks already have a build in liner and when I have the extra layer it stays wet and uncomfortable all day and doesn't dry out. So for context, we hang out at pool parties and go to the beach with friends often and my wife thinks it is gross you can see the outline on my penis through the swim trunks. I personally could care less and don't think it is any different than a woman wearing a bikini and her nipples poking through. Am I wrong for not caring?

AITAH for being upset that my family kept my sisters pregnancy a secret from me?

Well she's sure as hell upset now Mom!

This happened to my wife and I once upon a time.

it ultimately took us eight years to have our twins, including three IVF treatments, and those were some pretty dark years.

Multiple friends of ours decided not to tell us that they were expecting, thinking that they’d spare our feelings. What they didn’t understand was that their kids would be coming and very soon we’d find out on our own, you know, because you now have a loving baby. This phenomenon led to whole circles of friends suddenly going dark on us as people hid pregnancies from us.

Yes we found out. Yes the resulting conversations were emotional and awkward. Yes some friendships did not recover and we lost lots of friends over this. “Funniest” conversation was a panicked phone call out of the blue from a husband who found out that we’d be coming to a picnic where he and his pregnant wife would be attending. One hour before the picnic was to start. He had to call me so I could tell my wife that his wife was very pregnant and oh yeah that’s why they hadn’t spoken to us in seven months.

Just come clean. Jesus Christ. Sure we would have felt feelings of jealousy and bitterness but those feeling would be fleeting and ultimately we would have been happy for you and delighted to participate in your lives.

I (25M) have the chance to date my old HS crush (25F), but I’m engaged to my fiancee (24F). What do I do?

quote:

I had a crush on this girl Carla since middle school going into HS but she never paid me no mind.

I left for the military and met Sara, who is nurse and wants to become a doctor nurse practitioner! Sara was the usual type of girl I dated. I left the military to do contracting work, and moved back to my home state.

One day while I was getting drinks at the bar, Carla was my bartender! She didn't recognize me but when I told her my name she couldn't believe it. She said she couldn't believe how much I changed.

I started becoming a regular, and eventually exchanged contact information with her to catch up. Throughout this time, she told me she has a crush on me even though she knows I have a fiancee. She said she likes how driven I am… now I'm conflicted. She says that she will give me time to think about what I wanna do.

My fiancee and I are doing great, but I feel like she's normally the type of woman I always get. Carla, I never had the opportunity or thought I would. I don't wanna hurt Sara, but feel like I would regret this forever if I don't pursue it.

update:

quote:

I broke her heart. I love Sara so much, and I stupidly called off the wedding to be with my old crush a few weeks ago.

Throughout the couple weeks, Carla used me as a piggy bank. That’s all I loving was to her. I spoiled her, paid for her hair, nails, etc. I gave her everything.

I found out she used the money I Zelled her to buy a ticket for some guy to come see her. I’m sick to my stomach.

I reached out to Sara, but she feels betrayed and said she doesn’t want to be a sloppy seconds, but she’s not. I love her and needed this to realize it.
