You're not 'calling the post out' you're just insisting, conspiratorially, that it can't possibly be real for pretty much no reason

If the aim and the desire is to talk about posts, this isn't really conducive to it at all, because we have no way of possibly ever confirming anything being true or fake so it's an utterly meaningless statement

There's no real reason to think it's fake anyway, so how exactly are you calling it out

Eh, the "reversed genders" post you jumped on top of me for was a simple joke about how the dude who wrote it must have used a reverse grip while jacking off. Feel free to continue to ascribe conspiratorial motivation to everyone who are getting in the way of your favorite narrative though.

No it wasn't

I posted purely in response to someone else telling you to stop calling posts fake for no reason, then you doubling down on insisting that all posts where woman do a bad thing are fake because it 'feeds into the redpill narrative', even if, like in this case, it absolutely does not feed into the redpill narrative and is just a woman doing a lovely thing in a way that has nothing to do with their worldview

My [32F] girlfriend's [31F] ex [28F] is so much better than me that I'm doubting our whole relationship[new]
submitted 18 hours ago by throwaway10239841

WE'RE ALL GAY. ALL WOMEN.

Me and my girlfriend, L, have been together for 4 months. Of course a little while into the relationship we talked about all our exes. L said her longest relationship was 5 years but they weren't a good fit, and I believed her. L's second longest was a year, and she said that she dumped the other girl, B. I didn't think it was a big deal even though it was the last relationship she was in before ours (yeah, its been a couple years lol)

Recently one of L's old friends came into town and we went out, drinking. He drunkenly talked about how heartbroken L was when B left her. To his credit, he said that L was over it now and just talks about me. But I got curious and started the stalking.
B is one of those people who seems great at everything. She's an MD/MBA at a good school. She volunteers a lot, she runs a big fundraiser for her town. She sings and paints and has even held a few art shows. I scrolled WAY too drat far and saw that B was also a part time model when she was dating L. Some of L's old comments were even on there, but they aren't FB friends anymore.

I dont think she would come back for L, because B is in a relationship. Maybe it's worth noting that L is an artist, and B's new girlfriend is also an artist, but more successful and apparently also British. This is what I mean, she's just one of those people that high school me would have hated. And apparently she dumped L, crushing her, and L lied to me about it.

I feel like a consolation prize. I don't know how I'm supposed to compare to this person, and it's got me doubting our whole relationship. How am I supposed to believe L when she calls me beautiful if she was once with a literal model? How am I supposed to believe L when she says I'm talented and amazing if her ex managed to succeed in medicine, business AND the arts?
---
TL;DR: my girlfriend's ex is like the perfect person and apparently dumped her. My girlfriend lied about that last part and now I feel super inadequate.

AITA for telling my (27F) husband (30M) that he needs to stop Snapchatting his coworker (18F)

I’ve taken the last two days to think and I can’t begin to understand why this girl is so important to have a friendship with. I trust my husband completely and I know that he hasn’t been unfaithful because he literally has no time to be. He’s always either at work, at school, or at home with me.

Ooof, someone really ought to tell her.

We report stuff to the feds and treat "hiding poo poo from divorce court" on the same level as "hiding poo poo from the tax collector" but I make sure to have the branch call the spouse and ask what was up with the $300k cashier's check that got bought that morning and document everything including security camera footage, for the inevitable subpoena.

So what's it like to sit down at a table and look at someone. Look at someone and know that they lied.

Our 16 year old son booked a first class flight to London from NY around midnight, and actually took it early in the morning. This flight was $16,000 on our credit card. We obviously can't sue our minor son, but do we have any recourse to sue the airline?

AITA for telling his wife that he got me pregnant, and for reporting him so he’ll lose his medical license?

quote:

Very long, telenovela-type story here. I meet a guy off Tinder, he’s an out-of-town medical resident visiting my city on a hospital rotation. We meet up a few times before he returns home (400 km away). I figure that’s that but he continues to text me daily and asks me to come visit him. So I do and I very stupidly have unprotected sex with him and take plan B the next day. He’s a doctor and I basically trust his judgement.

Fast forward a few weeks later and I’m at my own doctor for a routine visit. She gets me to pee in a cup and I am shocked to find out I’m pregnant. At this point me and Tinder guy are still texting 20x a day. I call him immediately and tell him the news.

Him: Well, you have to abort it right away. Me: And what if I decide to keep it? Him: Then never speak to me again. I don’t want to know the child exists.

Clearly I should have ended contact with him then and there, but I was scared, hormonal and hopeful he would change his mind. We already have plans for me to visit him another weekend so I do so. During my visit he puts it in my head that we could have a long, happy relationship together - if I have the abortion. The cards are already stacked against me raising a child on my own so eventually I agree to terminate.

Surprising no one but me, he ends it with me (over the phone) the day after the procedure. He cites work as the reason, saying he’s already on probation for some unethical stuff and he needs to focus on his residency. I accept the news calmly but start wondering what the hell this guy is up to. I look up his public record but can’t find his registration information anywhere. My friend helps and manages to dig up the fact that Tinder guy gave me a fake name, lied about his age and oh yeah — he’s married. I call him to confront him.

Me: How would your wife feel if she knew about this? Him: You mean my ex? Yeah we’re separated. Go ahead and tell her. She probably won’t want to reconcile with me but whatever. Me: And what about your residency? What about your probation? What if I reported that you swipe Percocet and submit your own urine under a patient’s name so you can get faster test results? Him: Please don’t do that. (He starts crying)

So I make the decision to call his wife’s office and leave a message with my name. She calls back thinking it’s work related. I tell her I want to talk to her about her husband, and she can call me from a private number if she wants to discuss it further. Basically I’m putting the ball in her court. Next thing I know, Tinder guy is calling me in a rage saying that I hurt his wife’s feelings, they’re back together and he told her everything. (Btw this is 2 days after he said they were separated.) I made her cry at work and he’s going to file a restraining order against me.

I tell him not to worry, the next time he hears from me will be through a formal report. I file the complaint about his unethical dealings (faking his identity, taking narcotics from work, falsifying test results) and now I’m waiting for the state licensing board to schedule a hearing.

So AITA for basically trying to ruin this guy’s life? On the one hand, his drug smuggling and lies didn’t bother me while we were seeing each other, so clearly I didn’t think they were THAT unethical. So I feel very conflicted having reported him out of spite (and probably misplaced hormonal feelings). On the other hand, he’s already on probation for “something else,” his ability to manipulate and lie to people is pretty worrying in a neurosurgeon, and it would be irresponsible not to report what I knew.

TL, DR: Met a doctor guy on Tinder. He lied to me, got me pregnant and broke up with me after the abortion. I contact his wife and report his shady dealings to the medical licensing board

There's a business psychology thing where they give you three options. A cheap option, an expensive middle option, and an insanely expensive option.

No one wants the cheap, lovely option. Also, the insanely expensive option is just insanely expensive.

Now the expensive middle option seems reasonable.

AITA for not appreciating my boyfriend being a gentleman?

I've been dating a guy for about a year, and in a lot of ways, I REALLY like him. He's sweet and thoughtful, and really fun to talk to. There are a lot of things about our relationship that feel really easy and natural, but I can't get over how he insists on doing everything for me, to the point where I just feel useless.

It started with little things, like opening doors for me, which was super sweet, and I've never really had a guy do. He always wanted to pay for our dates, which was nice, but sometimes made me feel bad. Anytime I insist on paying, even for dates that I plan, he throws a fit because he wants to be a good boyfriend, and pay.

The longer we dated, I kind of expected it to die down, but now it just extends into weird things now. He'll never let me help with dinner, he won't even let me push the cart at the grocery store, and when things come up like "oh, while you grab eggs, let me go grab something else on the list!!" He wont tell me what's on it, because he doesn't want me to help. I feel totally useless. I've talked to him about it a few times, and when nothing changed, I started saying no to his little gestures like opening my car door. Everytime I do it myself he throws a fit.

It all kind of came to a head yesterday. In a past relationship, I had gone through some pretty bad trauma on a Valentine's Day. So I asked my boyfriend if we could not really do gifts, or make a big thing of it. Plus, I have pretty bad anxiety, and the attention makes me seriously sick. So he asked if we could do dinner the weekend before, and just cook for each other. I said yes, and he even let me help cook for the first time since we've been dating. I was super stoked.

Then, yesterday, I got not one, but two giant bouquets from him, delivered to me at work. Everyone I worked with made this huge deal about it, til I eventually hid the flowers and went and cried in the bathroom.

When I talked to him, he said "I know you said no, but girls deserve flowers on Valentine's Day, and you deserve them more than most."

I think I'm supposed to feel special, but I just feel useless and like my boundaries aren't respected.

It sounds ridiculous that I'm considering breaking up with a guy for treating me too nice, but I feel kind of like an accessory to him, not a functioning team member in a relationship. Plus, I've gone through hard things in the past, and worked really hard to get where I am today! I'm not helpless, and his refusal to let me contribute makes me feel useless.

AITA?

He won't even let her cook, so I dunno. He sounds like a weird control freak where the gender stuff is an excuse, not the reason. She definitely needs to get out regardless.
