AITA for not wanting my wife's dying ex to witness the birth of our twins?
My wife is going to give birth to our twin daughters next month and we are really excited.
My wife and her ex boyfriend were together for 5 years. They split amicably because he had to move away. They don't maintain regular contact, but they do contact each other once in a while.
Recently, my wife told me that her ex found out that he had cancer and he was dying. He chose not to undergo chemotherapy. I really do feel bad for him. But he made a really strange request. He wants to witness the birth of our children. I was really surprised by this request. My wife wants me to consider because it's kind of his wish.
I'm really upset because of two reasons: 1) I always wanted that to be a moment between me and my wife. 2) I don't want her ex boyfriend witnessing the birth of our children.
I'm actually looking forward to it. I cancelled a really important business meeting so that I could be with my wife. I don't want to miss that for anything in this world and I definitely don't want him there. When I told her this, she thinks I'm being childish and that I should honor a dying man's wish. I really do empathise with him and I'd gladly help him with anything. But I think this is not something I can agree to. AITA here?
Edit: English is not my first language and the metaphor I used was really poor. I just wanted to highlight that nothing is more important to me than this moment. But it was a poor choice. I don't want to attend meetings while my wife gives birth.

I [22M] didn't mind another guy [22M] jerking me off during sex with my girlfriend [19F]
My girlfriend [19F] and I [22M] were having a threesome with another guy [22M]. I was on my back, she was on top of me and he was taking her from behind. At some point I slipped out due to not being fully hard anymore which I said out loud. Next thing I know is he grabbed my dick and started jerking me off. To my utter surprise it felt great and made me rock. He guided me back into my girlfriend and shortly after I pumped her full of cum.
Does that make either of us gay/bi? Or can you still call yourself straight after that?
Just to clarify: I don't think there is anything wrong with being gay/bi. I was just wondering.
tl;dr: Had a threesome with girlfriend and got a quick handjob from the guy. Surprisingly didn't mind.
lol “I liked rubbing my dick against another guys inside my girlfriend, slapped my balls against his and then he grabbed my dick also, does that make me bi?”

My (22m) girlfriend (20f) tried to catfish me on twitter in an attempt to prove I'm disloyal
quote:This happened a short while ago but i only found out recently and haven't done anything about it. We've been dating just over a year.
Firstly, I'm a student but on Twitter I'm trying to get a small following for indie games development, as I am interested in game dev and like to make a few small things. Not long before all this happened, i had some tweets showing off some of my stuff that got moderately popular. I gained some followers, got some attention, and it encouraged me to post more and more. One night, just before sleeping, I text my girlfriend goodnight, and then my twitter buzzes with someone tweeting at me to message them. Their account is clearly about indie dev stuff too, but mostly bare, only saying they'll post their own stuff soon. I figure it's someone who saw my stuff and wanted to ask for help, so I messaged them. It didnt take long for their messages to get weird and flirty, and with the girl asking if i found her pretty, among other things. I told her she's asking the wrong person, i said i had a gf - they didnt stop. They sent a picture of her legs (which i deleted) and then they said to me they'd tell my gf that I'd flirted with them (i hadn't). My gf messaged me after all this, saying she couldn't sleep. I told her what happened and then she told me to block the account, so I did.
I dismissed it as a bot, but then thought about how oddly targeted it was. The fact they knew to target not only indie game dev, but a specific subcategory of indie game dev that I was interested in. I watched the account, thinking they would repurpose themselves for another attack if it really was a bot - but ever since it lay dormant. I found this odd and concluded it must've been someone who knew of my account to try and personally attack me. I figured I would never know who, so I let that be the end of it.
2-3 weeks ago my gf did something that led me to believe catfishing people wasn't beyond her. I analysed the messages from the twitter account and noticed they were similar to my girlfriend, but almost as if it was specifically her trying to type as if it's not her. Furthermore, i recalled that on the night, my girlfriend conveniently disappeared just before this girl contacts me, and reappeared once the conversation had ended, where my gf asked specifically what i was doing and why i couldn't sleep. Lastly, i remember my girlfriend expressing some insecurity about wishing she was a game dev so that i would love her more, which would be a believable motive. It was all too convenient.
I happen to have her password, and I know she uses it for everything, so I try it on the account, thinking i have nothing to lose. And boom, I'm into the account. So i know it was her. She tried to catfish me with a fake account to prove I'm disloyal, and yet i didn't do anything wrong. I told the fake girl immediately i have a girlfriend, nor did i flirt back. She brings this up occasionally as if it's something i did wrong, even though i know it was her. What should i do?
Thanks

Also pretty sure if getting jerked off by another dude gets you really hard you are probably bi but I’d have to check the manual on that one.

to piss on it?
Depending on the establishment, they would let him keep it or throw it out. He would look like a regular person trying to rectify an honest mistake.
On the other hand, when he eats as much as he can before returning it, he looks like a guy trying to capitalize on an opportunity to get 2.75 burritos for the price of 1.
That makes sense, thanks!

A special entry from /r/ChoosingBeggars
CB [Choosing Beggar] doesn’t get invited to bachelorette party bc she’s a downer. She threw a GIANT fit until the bride finally said what the hell, you can come. The next day, bride and all 17 females received this email from CB. CB IS NOT the bride or in the bridal party and was invited out of pitty.
I really want to see this lady's reaction to people walking down the Strip taking shots from bottles of liquor or just stumbling around drunk as gently caress with those yard drinks the casinos strap to your neck so you don't spill.
Too bad it's a lady because I bet they'd freak out having one of those escort cards shoved into their hand.

My [28F] girlfriend [32F] is part of a culty online group and is considering secretly pursuing Santeria initiation. Help.
quote:
Hey all. I don't even know where to start with this as I did not expect to ever find myself in this position.
I have known for a while that my girlfriend has been in contact with an online message board full of weird people who are pursuing "spiritual research"-- most of them are influenced by an extremely strange combination of Western occult practices, Santeria, and "freezone" Scientology. I had accidentally stumbled upon some of the e-mails to and from this message board over a year ago (we have been together for almost three years) when looking through her e-mail for a document from an online bill account that she had asked me to find. At the time I had thought it was completely innocuous-- she has a lot of e-mails from old boards and interests and things come into her box, and she had said she had earlier been interested in "magic" and stuff as a way to solve her problems as a teen. Later I started finding weird notes in her/our notebooks (which we use for all sorts of things, like to-do lists and recipes and things) full of odd jargon and I had recognized some of the jargon as Scientology-related (like "processing" and "OT") and I got extremely concerned. Unfortunately I did not trust her enough to talk to her directly (which I regret) especially since she was very emotionally volatile at the time and I ended up opening up some of the e-mails in her box.
Apparently my girlfriend has been seeking advice from this board and especially the guru of this group, an older man who is an ex-punk type who I will call Pete, for probably about five years. According to the way she has presented herself on this message board she has made several very major life decisions due to his advice (which I can't tell whether it is her being super deferential to this man or whether it is true) and she basically handles all of her major life conflicts through attempting to use their extremely bizarre series of psychological techniques and rituals on herself, most of which is adapted from Scientology practices. This man/group has a way of categorizing people based on archetypes of gods from Santeria (which seems extremely limited and really bunk, as well as very sexist) and she has sought relationship and work advice from him/the group on the basis of her/me/others "being" these god-archetypes. There are a number of "experts" on this board who make up a bunch of really complicated and arcane stuff and my girlfriend keeps trying to "learn" it as if it makes any sense; many of these men seem to be very autistic and have very idiosyncratic interpretations of the world which don't necessarily cohere together and so it seems to be a lost cause to attribute a logic to these systems that actually matches up with the real world. (Note: my girlfriend and I are both autistic, and she has a lot of shame about this, as she was tracked into a learning disabled/emotional problems school track as a kid, and she feels a lot of the time like she is inherently stupid. I think this has sucked her in in this community because she seems to feel too "dumb" to understand this stuff and keeps trying to hack at it and ask questions of Pete and these "experts", when in reality it doesn't really make any sense.)
Probably about eight months ago my girlfriend had a breakdown related to work events and told me she was talking to these people to get advice-- she characterized them as a spirituality group that draws from a number of traditions and said she felt ashamed about talking to them. I didn't disclose that I had seen the e-mails but said I had seen some of the language in notebooks and felt worried about her. She claimed at the time she did not take the concepts and rituals from the group literally and said that she used it to work through a lot of her inner poo poo, basically, and that she could see where a lot of it was limited although she liked some of the tools that she had learned. I told her she was right and didn't have to buy into it or what these guys were saying to use her own discernment to figure out what worked and what didn't, and encouraged her to tell me what she thought about what they said. She started talking to me sometimes about what Pete was saying in the message board and how full of crap he was, and even told him off personally for telling her she was behaving like some very sexist god-archetype and giving her lovely sexist advice. I thought she was resolving things in a more healthy way and was beginning to distance herself from this group and felt proud of her. I didn't hear or see anything about this stuff from her for months so assumed she had finally quit taking part in this group.
About a month or two ago I had found another notebook above our bed that apparently my GF was using to continue doing "processing" stuff all along. Included was a brief segment on a ritual that would make her some sort of "initiate" in Santeria and I again got really scared and checked her e-mail. She has apparently been discussing with Pete for the past three or four months how to become initiated into a certain Santeria tradition without me knowing. My girlfriend apparently believes that she cannot go any "further in magick" unless she has this ritual performed for her, and she is struggling with the decision to do so given that it would likely be incompatible with our relationship. She discussed wanting to "study with someone in Rio" to make herself more spiritually competent as well as how to gather supplies for a personal version of the ritual should she be unable to find someone to initiate her (including potentially animal parts-- we are ethically motivated vegetarians and I was particularly shocked by this).
I am honestly shocked and I have no idea how serious this is. Neither my girlfriend nor I particularly associate with men much and she generally doesn't like being around men nonetheless show this much extreme deference and respect towards any particular man, so her holding Pete up as a spiritual leader and basically personal therapist is extremely scary to me. I do not know how much of this she literally believes and how much she doesn't, or whether this matters to her-- part of why I have felt comfortable around her is that I had thought she was an atheist and generally thought a lot of this stuff was crap. I grew up in a strict evangelical Christian community and have really bad associations with religion and spirituality, including the woo-woo stuff pervasive in the gay community. She is always complaining about people taking horoscopes etc. seriously and complained about our previous roommate and her practices all the time, who was a lesbian who thought she was a witch. Now I honestly feel like I don't even know her. I don't know if she's been lying to me all this time or if this man has such a hold on her that she doesn't really know herself, either. I am struggling with this immensely and although I assume she is under this man's grip to some degree I feel betrayed and scared; I am also worrying that maybe it's me that's wrong and too rigid and maybe it's better if she goes off and pursues her own path, even if it's weird. I feel like maybe I am keeping her from something she wants to do because of my own beliefs and I almost feel like throwing in the towel and just letting her leave to do whatever wack poo poo she wants to do rather than trying to deal with whatever is going on and my own trauma around religion.
My girlfriend was previously part of a pseudoscience community for a medical issue that she has, and escaped this community by way of a woman who presented herself as a skeptic who could help her find real medical care and also healing and realistic coping methods among other people who were dealing with this illness. This woman ended up sexually and emotionally abusing her, was involved in her own brand of woo, and threw her out of the community for her rare condition, leaving my GF stranded with little support (given that she is also cut off from her family) other than me. I knew my GF had the tendency to be a "joiner" but thought she had learned some very hard lessons and did not ever think that of all things she might be vulnerable to it would be trying to make herself a Santeria initiate. I am really really concerned given that there is a local practitioner nearby (that our previous woo roommate actually tried to seek out, and that my girlfriend actually argued with her about, both the animal sacrifice aspect and that she thought it was culturally disrespectful b/c the roommate was a rich white girl) and I'm afraid she might actually try to pursue this at the behest of Pete or her own brain.
I feel extremely lost and betrayed. I don't even know how to bring this up to my girlfriend. I feel really ashamed for continually snooping on her and feel horrible that I haven't trusted her enough to talk to her about it. I am scared that this actually will mean the end of our relationship and I'm afraid if it does end then she will be taken in by something completely crazy. I don't know how to have a hard talk about my values given that this level of involvement in spiritual stuff really is a dealbreaker and my girlfriend is so identity-unstable that I can't trust her to not just become afraid that I'll leave her and just tell me what I want to hear, and not what is really going on in her head and what she really believes or doesn't believe. I'm scared of this Pete guy, and I really don't understand how my girlfriend is so attached to him and makes major decisions by his advice. Thank God it seems like she doesn't usually take his relationship advice, but she apparently takes his psychological advice all the time and credits her life insights and her personal stability (for the first time in her life-- she's lived a very unstable life previous to her relationship with me) to him, which is frightening because I do believe she is a very strong person and I don't know why she believes it's him that's helped her so much. I don't know how to have this conversation and I am really scared about the consequences; given his involvement in her life I don't feel like I can fully trust her to make good decisions on her behalf or our relationship, and I'm really genuinely scared she'll choose "magick systems" over everything else. She doesn't have a lot in her life and I don't want to make her feel even more limited or controlled but I know she will feel this way if I bring this up at all, and feel controlled by my snooping on her. I need a lot of help here and feel way out of my depth. (Anyone with experience with culty groups is definitely welcome. I don't understand that more than anything about this scenario. So much of this seems way outside my girlfriend's character and I think that scares me more than anything. I am worried that somehow I and our relationship is what is out of character for her and maybe I have no right to say anything at all about her involvement with this stuff.)
TL;DR: I found out that my girlfriend has been involved in an isolated culty online spiritual group for years and that she is conflicted about going for ritual initiation to improve her "magick skills". The group is headed by a man she credits for her life improvement and who she seeks regular advice from. How do I navigate the fact I found this out through snooping when/if I talk to her about this, and how the heck do I begin a conversation with her about how concerning all of this is given that it seems radically out of character for her? And how do I just handle the fact that she's been hiding something like this from me all this time?

also, here's a weird GameStop story from the comments of another post:
When I was 16, I went to apply for a job at GameStop. The dude handed me an app, let me fill the entire loving thing out and then legitimately stared me in the face as he threw it away and said “we aren’t hiring”. I’m with OP, be polite and toss the fucker when we aren’t looking. No need to be so rude.
Nope, just a normal 16 year old who wanted a job. Dressed up and everything, asked for an app, and this happened.
The story goes a bit further. I ended up dating (and having a kid) with a girl from my school who worked at a branch down across the road (we had two across the street from each other because one was a bought out game resale shop that was technically in a different city), and this dude was notoriously hated, because he hired all his friends and ran one hell of shady branch. The branch ended up with a hostage situation and it closed down, so he ended up at my now ex-girlfriends store. Since that’s the one i frequent, I became friends with the dude because I was always up there when me ex asked me to come and would bring our daughter.
He offered me a job after she left because we were “cool” and he made sure his friends got hours. This was about three years later after the 16 year old me resume trashing incident.
