In what's posted (I didn't track the story down so there may be something different in comments on the original) there's no mention of her wanting 'several thousand dollars for a solo European vacation' or for him to pay anything more than he's already paid. She's just moving the date on a plane ticket back, which AFAIK doesn't is usually just a token fee for rescheduling, not a new ticket cost (if this is actually a 'thousands of dollars' change then never mind my original take). Also my read of "left her stranded in a foreign country without financial help" is that he canceled the existing ticket when she talked about changing the plan, not just that he refused to pay for a new ticket.

Buying a ticket for a week or so out is going to be much more expensive than buying a ticket months in advance, and in my experience airlines will expect you to pay the difference when you try to reschedule. That difference still may not amount to thousands of dollars, but it's also unclear how OP's ex planned on paying her own way in Italy without OP footing the bill for her.

Pantaloon Pontiff posted:

It's his responsibility because he got her over there in the first place with a promise that he'd pay for the return trip. If he just said 'take it or leave it' on the original ticket then I'd have no problem, but what he wrote implies to me that he said 'oh, you thought of a different plan? fine I'm canceling your way home entirely' which is him backing out of a promise.

I'd agree if that was the case but it seems like a stretch to read it into the OP. At a minimum there's nothing to suggest that he canceled the ticket before he told her he wasn't going to pay for a different return trip, or that she tried to begrudgingly agree to the original return flight only for him to cancel it anyhow.

Update on the ticket story:

quote:

Update: Thank you to all the people who responded, especially the early ones who gave some outside verification of me probably not being the rear end in a top hat. I don't feel comfortable saying I'm completely blameless here because you're only getting one side of the story and I need to take responsibility for my part in this whole thing such as it is. But I guess I never realized how good my gf was at making me feel like unreasonable poo poo was normal and rational and that I was the crazy one.

So here's the update. We're both back in America now and she's packing her poo poo to go stay with her family for a bit until she can find a new place. Soon after I posted, it was time to go to the airport, so I did...without her. I'm one of those people who arrives really early because I never think I'll get to the gate in time because everything that could go wrong probably would go wrong (it never does but, especially with how I was feeling my luck was going, I didn't want to push it).

I was there for about an hour by myself mulling things over and talking to my mom. I looked at a couple responses to this post but I didn't trust that I wouldn't lose it if I started responding and I definitely didn't want to burst into tears while I was in the airport.

As I was talking to my mom, my gf showed up. I guess she thought I was bluffing but had a rude awakening when the hotel staff kicked her out of the room because I'd only paid through that day. I took no small amount of satisfaction in this, ngl. She'd been so concerned about the plane ticket that she didn't even stop to think about where she was going to stay...

As many of you guessed, she met someone while we were in Italy. She was quick to tell me that it was just a physical attraction and that they hadn't done anything, but she had his @ and was wanting to see if it'd go anywhere. I guess that's what I get for not feeling well and wanting to stay in one night while she went out to explore...

Obviously, I told her things were over between us. Even though she tried to make it sound like nothing had happened, the fact was a. I couldn't feel like I could trust her when she said that and b. I don't really want to be with someone who feels like it's okay to still "keep her options open" when she's been in a monogamous relationship for the past 2 years.

The flight home was awkward as gently caress and she tried really hard to give another pitch for why we should stay together on the drive home from the airport. I think, as we got closer to home, reality started setting in and she realized she'd just thrown a lot away.

So yeah. I'm jetlagged and physically and emotionally exhausted. I'm just kind of numb at this point.

Finally, I didn't see all the comments (as there are 2.5k at the time of this update) but, to the few that were downvoted into oblivion who said this was fake because I hadn't updated in several hours...gently caress you. I was looking for reasonable dissenting opinions that might have helped me make sense of this situation and you're accusing me of making this up for random internet points?? Believe it or not, my priority was not to tell a bunch of strangers on the internet how my world was falling apart around me. I know it's easy to think that these people aren't real and their struggles are meaningless because screens divide us but, ironically, you're the assholes.

No surprises to anyone except Pantaloon Pontiff, who is presumably still trying to figure out how she got on the plane after this controlling bastard stole her ticket and imprisoned her in italy

I guess as long as he gave her the ticket and didn't cancel it, she could try to change it herself, but if they're on the same reservation/locator it might be somewhat complicated, especially if he's the person who made it? I'm not sure whether or not she would need him to do it if his name was on the reservation and there is also a risk of accidentally loving up his ticket too in a situation where they're trying to change one of two seats on the same reservation.


I think you could make an argument that in a slightly different situation where, ignoring the update, if she wasn't trying to cheat on him but just decided to break up with him and didn't feel comfortable flying with him, it would be polite to try to change the seat or something rather than saying "you're either sitting with me or you're stuck here and you can pay your own way back"?

In this situation, based on the update, the girlfriend is clearly the rear end in a top hat, but just based on the original post, the meaning of "I wouldn’t be paying for her new return ticket" was ambiguous and could have meant that he was just cancelling her ticket because he wasn't going to pay for her return trip at all, not just that he wouldn't pay for the costs of changing it.

My precal teacher thinks he knows everything about female bodies

I have PCOS, and while I was in my Precalculus class when I unexpectedly started my period. I raised my hand to go to the bathroom but my teacher said no because he was teaching. Reasonable I guess, but then when were doing independent work, I had finished early and asked to go to the bathroom once again, he said no. I asked again 10 minutes later and he still said no.
Whenever the bell rang I had bled through my blue jeans and blood stained my crotch area and a fair bit down the back of my thigh. I wrapped my jacket around my waist gather my things to try to rush to the nurses office when he stops me.
He tells me that what I did was disrespectful. I explained I started my menstrual cycle because I am quite blunt and don't feel like making up an excuse. He said that I wouldn't really have to go to the bathroom because "Women only lose 6 tablespoons of blood during their period". In addition he said periods only last 4 days so it wasn't a big deal anyway. And when I said I was concerned about the other students smelling my blood since I bleed quite heavily, he said blood doesn't stink but then made an offhanded comment of me smelling metallic today.
After being lectured by Mr"I know everything about women" for 13 minutes after the bell rang and already being late to my lunch, i went to the nurses office and she gave me a change of clothes ans a pass to go to class.

I'm not sure if you're responding to my last comment but if so you can at least change seats when you check in if there are available seats, and there is something to not stranding people in foreign countries even if you break up with them or forcing someone who isn't comfortable sitting with you anymore to do so

Anyway I'm not sure if people are misunderstanding what I'm saying, but I'm not saying the OP was wrong based on the actual situation including the update, I can just imagine a bunch of subtly different scenarios where it would not be reasonable for the OP to just say "gently caress off" and refuse to change the ticket (which is probably not even what happened in this case)

Maybe I wouldn't say "ambiguous" so much as within the level of intentionally misleading wording that might occur in an r/relationships post in general

Shanghaied posted:

With most airlines you get assigned a seat earlier but it is very easy to change your seats when you check in if there are still other available seats. (I imagine you can probably do it before checking in too without but I don't think I've ever tried to do that without changing the flight)

I and a bunch of colleagues are going to a conference next month, and the flights are already booked. Can I on a whim demand on the last day of the conference that they reschedule my flight at their expense? Can I claim that I've been stranded in another country if I refuse to get on the flight?

Anyway it's pointless to discuss hypothetical scenarios, because you can literally invent an infinite number of hypothetical scenarios where either person was the rear end in a top hat.

I 20M am not comfortable with my gfs 19F living situation and I'm not sure how to bring it up.

I (20m) am visiting my girlfriend (19f) for spring break. This is the first time I have visited here this year as we both go to colleges that are across the country from each other. I have met her 2 roommates briefly when we facetime and they all seem nice and enjoy similar things as her. They had met each other through social media and had been talking for a while and had planned to live together so they're all pretty close.
Her dorm is apartment style (includes living room and dining area). When she was giving me a tour I saw that there were 4 bedrooms. I know she and her two other roommates all have a room but I didn't know why there was a fourth room. When I asked her she said that the room wasn't that important and laughed with her roommates.
The first night, after having dinner the four of us were hanging out in their living room area when the door opened and another girl walked in. She seemed surprised to see me and walked right into the fourth bedroom. My gf and her roommates started to laugh and after they were done told me that she was their other roommate. I was super confused because anytime I've talked with my gf the only other people who talk were the other 2 girls. My gf even sent pictures of the bathrooms, living room, and kitchen after the three of them decorated it for themselves.
My gf and her roommates then told me that because they went into the dorms as a group of three, they ended up with a random roommate. The entire time, they never said her name and just called her “random roommate” while laughing. At one point, the girl came out to fill her water bottle and my gf and the other two stopped mid conversation and stared like a hawk at her until she went back into her room. After she did, they resumed talking and laughing. The girl didn't come out for the rest of the night.
Before we went to bed I asked my gf more about her other roommate and why they all act like that. At first she was confused but then said that the girl is really nice shes just not like them. She said that in the beginning of the year, the girl was really talkative towards them and friendly but the other two girls did some stuff and now she just goes to her room all the time. She said that she says hi to her sometimes when she's getting ready for class but that's it. She said that she was just different from them and not all roommates have to get along. I asked if she knew I was coming and staying here for a week and she said no but she'd be fine with it.
The past 3 days I’ve been here, I've noticed that while my gf and her roommates all hang out in the living room, the other girl stays in her room and only comes out when she leaves. My gf gave me a more in depth tour and the girl gets one door shelf in the fridge and half a drawer/cabinet in their kitchen. The rest is used by the other girls. I asked why she doesnt have more space and my gf just shrugged.
I'm not sure why but I just feel really soured about the entire thing. My gf has never been a mean girl but something about this just makes me uncomfortable. On one hand, I'm really happy my gf was lucky enough to have roommates she gets along with and are her friends, but on the other hand I feel bad for her other roommate. I don't know if I'm just overthinking this. How do I bring this up to my gf or should I just leave it alone?
Editor Note: This post did not receive many comments but the ones that were posted all agree that he needed to let his girlfriend go.
[Update: I 20M am not comfortable with my gfs 19F living situation and I'm not sure how to bring it up.(https://www.reddit.com/user/ThrowRAspringbreakbf/comments/1bob55d/update_i_20m_am_not_comfortable_with_my_gfs_19f/ - March 2024
Hi everyone. I posted a while back and received some replies as well as a bunch of private messages. I decided to post a short update to let you all know what happened. Shortly after I posted and read through your comments and messages, I realized that this relationship was about to end. A lot of you brought up great points andI just couldn't justify staying with a person who acts like this.
That night, we all went out to a couple of parties and seeing her act just kind of reinforced my previous thoughts. Her and her friends were just so rude. I don't mean flat out, they actually were pretty fun and nice to a bunch of people, but the three of them just had no regard for everyone else except for them. It was like they had no awareness of their surroundings and didn't even care.
Towards the end of the night, I was so upset about everything that I asked my gf if we could head back early. She said yes and we split up from the other two girls. When we got back to her place and got ready for bed, I brought up her two roommates and just lightly spoke about everything on my mind. She fully admitted that she knew the two girls were rude and literally called them “horrible bitches” but there was nothing she could do because they all lived together. I brought up that she willingly signed a lease to move in with them in an apartment next year and if she didnt like them, why did she always entertained them. She said she didnt know what to say and just kind of shrugged it off.
I then asked about her other roommate and found out wha the other two girls did. Apparently, when the 3 of them went out, the girl made her dinner and ate in their living room while watching a movie. When they came back and saw her, one of the two walked into the living room, unplugged the TV (in the middle of the movie) and said, “you did not pay for this. This is not yours. Do not touch” while the other girl took the remote and laughed. The TV belonged to one of the roommates who brought it from her room at home. The apps on it were all split between the roommates and I think one of the accounts belonged to the girl. So, my gf and the other girl also didn't pay for the tv.
I was shocked. That is legit mean girl stuff you see in movies. When I asked my gf what she did, she said she did nothing and in the moment laughed because she was embarrassed for her and thats just what she does when shes uncomfortable (which is true). My girlfriend passed out after that and I spent a little bit packing my stuff and preparing what I was going to tell her.
The next more i straight up told her that I really dont see a future with her. I said that she has become a bully and I dont want to be with someone who surrounds herself with people that are horrible people. She became defensive and said that shes never done anything bad and its the other two girls. I told her that by now, shes an adult and had many chances to not partake in their bullying but has chosen to and stuck up for them. She got very emotional and then became angry and told me to leave.
I got an uber and headed to the airport and when I got back to my place she had texted me and asked if this was a break while I figured out what I wanted or if this was definite. I restated what I told her and said that I hope she figures out who she is and I wish her well. I think she blocked me after that. I havent heard from her since.
I did hear from my friends gf, who is friendly with her and on her private stories, that their room got busted for having alcohol in them (which is banned in the dorms) and all four of them have to have a meeting with their RA and dorm director "proving their innocence". I hope this gives the fourth girl an opportunity to tell them about her living situation but I don't think I'll ever know. Anyways, thanks for all the advice that I revise. I know it wasn't much, but I defiantly appreciate it.

AITA for sending graphic videos to my wife to try and change her views on the Israel-Gaza conflict?

I'm Jewish, and although I'm not particularly religious, I have strong feelings about the recent Israel-Gaza conflict. To me, there's a clear distinction between right and wrong, especially when it comes to the killing of innocent civilians.
My wife, however, believes that both sides have their faults. She feels it's not as clear-cut and that the people in Gaza have a right to defend and fight back. Her Twitter feed often mirrors this viewpoint and seems to primarily show the bombing of buildings in Gaza.
We've had several passionate debates about this, and she often concludes by suggesting we "agree not to talk about it anymore" to avoid further conflict. Despite her wishes, today I sent her some graphic videos of disturbing incidents involving Israelis, thinking it might sway her perspective. She is now deeply upset.
AITA for continually pushing my viewpoint on her, especially after she's made it clear she wants to avoid the topic and asked me to respect her "personal political beliefs"?

I think it's entirely reasonable to not want to have to sit by yourself on a 10-hour flight home and have to worry about your partner being in a foreign country by themself because they made a last-minute decision to extend their trip. Include the fact that he's paid for everything and it becomes even worse. "Sike I suddenly have money to contribute to this trip, but just for the part where I stay here by myself. Byeeeeeeeee"
