AITA for keeping all my prize money even tho it would helped my dad and stepmom

quote:

my phones on 7% I’ll fix the grammar later

I (16f) entered our yearly towns raffle not thinking I’d win I just bought tickets because I supported the charity, they’re always good prizes the top one being a gift card for 1000 in a gift cards

My stepmom won a fancy wine/food basket which she told us she’d enjoy to all to herself as it was her prize and with the pregnancy/money troubles she said she deserved something just for her. About two days later while at my moms I got a text saying I won

After collecting my prize my mom said I should spend it all on things I always wanted but we couldn’t afford, so I did I get nice shoes,perfumes,makeup etc

Here’s were I made a mistake I posted to social media about winning and what I got. Within 30 minutes dad called me and told me I was selfish and cruel to buy myself unnecessary crap while I knew they were struggling. Stepmom than got on the phone and asked how much I had left so I said 280

She than asked would I return my stuff or at the very least give them the gift card so they could get stuff for the baby because I knew how bad they were struggling. I said no just like her gift basket it was Mine to keep. She started crying calling me names I couldn’t understand and dad took the phone saying he was disappointed in me and I’ve changed the way he views me.

I just hung up afterwards dad told my mom that it’s best I don’t come over for a few weeks due till everyone claims down, my step sister texted me saying “gently caress them they shouldn’t be having more kids they can’t afford” but my stepmom had been sending me messages begging to help them out for the innocent baby sake now I feel extremely guilty

titty_baby_ posted:

whenever I read these stories i always think of what amount of $ would make OP the rear end in a top hat

Sometimes we get stories like this where one person in a family gets some inheritance or is described as rich, but won't even help their spouse out financially let alone helping the extended family in any way. But I always assume its someone who just had like 5 million land in their lap and is so greedy they refuse to help pay off their wife's student loans or help their little niece with college.

But the reality which comes out in the comments usually is that the "rich" person got like a 100k inheritance and the moment word got out the entire extended family has been hounding them relentlessly for handouts that they don't even really need. And they reason they want to hold onto the money is to simply pay down their own debts and maybe have a tiny bit left over for a rainy day. Or like the "very rich" person who's expected to pay the $1000 bill for the monthly extended-family dinners only makes 70k a year compared to the 40-50k a year average for the rest of the family.

I'm NTA for dude in this story. I think I'd be on his side even without the note. At a certain point I think you lose the right to get mad about someone having sex if you do not want to have sex with them. "Stay sexually faithful to me, I will never have sex with you again" is an unfair demand. The answer, of course, is divorce.

AITA for wanting to name our son Kazuma? (from an anime)

quote:

My wife wanted to give our upcoming son a unique name. She kept suggesting things like tysepherous and raprelta. I suggested the name Kazuma after Kazuma Sato the main protagonist of the anime konosuba. I picked that name because I think the character is someone I want my son to be like when he grows up. My wife not knowing where the name came from fell in love with it and told all of our family we were naming our baby Kazuma.

All was well until I was watching some konosuba in the living room and one of the characters (megumin) said "Kazuma! Kazuma!". She had a look of horror after hearing that and immediantly googled Kazuma and found out he's from an anime. She was furious and said "how could you not tell me!?!"

I told her that konosuba was a light novel before it was an anime and many famous names have come from books like Alice. Therefore it's not at all strange to name our son after a character from a book. After that she seems to have calmed down but is still upset that I didn't tell her that before she told all our family and now wants to pick a different name. AITA?

They both suck! All of those names are terrible!

I don't count it as an affair if you have written permission from your spouse. Which he did. Written on the letter where he begged her to "do couples therapy or sex therapy", so ah 2/3 of those options there were already ruled out.

If you do something your spouse literally wrote a permission slip for, I think you're NTA. Dude needs to divorce for his own sake, but I won't hold it against him that he did exactly what his wife requested.

This story is just loving sad. It sounds like she has Asherman’s Syndrome or something, which is an insanely traumatic thing to find out, and she is understandably traumatized. But she is processing her trauma in the least healthy way imaginable. I understand why he wouldn’t want to divorce her - he loves her and that would feel like abandoning her, because it sort of is. But you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped, and she does not want to be helped. He should have just divorced her after the red pen.

AITAH for getting it elsewhere since my wife didn't want to have sex any more?


That age reveal whiplashed me hard.

There is literally not one thing in this relationship worth saving for OP. Just hand her the divorce papers and go live the rest of your life.
Someone posted the following about this to r/ohnoconsequences arguing that the post is fake because of some of the weird comments OP has posted in the thread:

quote:

After reading a bunch of OP's replies in the original post, I'm 90% sure this is incel fanfiction.

His wife is supposedly bi, but also only wants to have sex for procreation purposes. But he also both claims that they've shared women, but also doesn't know if she's been with women in separate comments. "She has brought home other women for us to share before." and "She's bi so I imagine she's been with women before."

He continually alludes to some mysterious event in her past about "stupid poo poo a lot of young women do" that's now the reason she's denying him sex. Something "She more or less did it to herself. By accident, ignorance, and apathy." But also "She never did anything in her youth that she regrets." He's just commenting "women bad" in multiple ways using his wife as an example. He really wants everyone to know it's her fault; "I do not blame her for being sterile. Her choices lead to that"

Other comments of his claim his wife would offer to bring him other women to sleep with, but he's such an upstanding guy that he would refuse them. "after her diagnosis she brought home other women for me. I always declined because I had no interest in sex without her."

But even though he had no interest in sex without her, he had not problem finding a girlfriend who'll sleep with him because he's super attractive and successful, so he's the hero of this story. In his words, "I found someone to meet my needs

Well it actually doesn't prevent giving names in kana but I think even parents who would be inclined to give a dumb name wouldn't be insane enough to give their kid a foreign name in katakana

I guess it might not stop parents from giving girls made up names in hiragana

It does stop the most obnoxious trend which was giving unreadable names in kanji where the pronunciation had nothing to do with the way it was written, called "kira kira names" (meaning something like "sparkle names")

I like a story where Mom goes for full scorched earth instead of trying to force the kid to reconcile with AHs. They came after her kid, and not only did she support the kid she's getting the kid away from the AHs for good and cutting out her support for them.

The thing that's kind of interesting is that the reason this came up is because before, readings of kanji names weren't entered into family registers at all and I think they weren't part of any official documentation for people who didn't have passports until a year or two ago, so it apparently used to be possible for people who didn't like the names their parents had given them to just decide to move somewhere new and go by a different reading of the same characters without having to legally change their name

Although the flip side of that is that I think it's actually a massive PITA for people to legally change their first name in Japan if they need to, which is probably because of the family register system (which is dumb and probably needs to be eliminated anyway)

The worse problem with that is that spouses can't have different last names even though people keep talking about trying to change that
