You know it's almost 100% certain. Also "I punched a black guy and he fought me back!" Like I wonder how many times this guy got his rear end kicked/car keyed/etc because he was an insufferable rear end in a top hat. Girlfriend is a oval office too.

I will say the punishment does not exactly fit the crime. It's not the poor girls fault, and the older brother isn't doing anything wrong to date her. But older brother needs some consequence for that line.

Also she does mention that the older brother feels like poo poo about what he said. The fact that both parents thought Sarah was in love with the younger son as well, who knows if they pushed/encouraged that. Also Sarah was getting paid to be in his company, so of course she would be nice to her "customer". Sarah eventually offered to stop taking money to hang out with younger son, which in their minds confirmed her feelings, but it's kind of clear now that she offered to do so, because she was dating his older brother, or you know a female could develop platonic feelings for a male.

Objectionable in a vacuum and in general, but understandable in that moment as a climax of a lifetime of built up resentment and neglect. This is a pretty bad analogy. You can't really compare "being born handicapped" to "cheating on your partner repeatedly, even after they reconcile with you at the cost of a great deal of pain and suffering." You have to read a lot into the scenario to get to a situation where the wheelchair kid is actually guilty of any doing anything wrong. His existence is inconvenient and frustrating for his brother, but that's not his fault and lashing out at him for it is just kicking him when he's already down.

The more I think about it, the less anyone here is really an rear end in a top hat, at least from the text. OB said something really loving harsh, but even without projecting a lifetime of favoritism onto it, he's 17, full of whatever brain chemicals make 17 year olds what they are, and his family just threw a fit when he announced his girlfriend. The mom banning the girl for as long as she has seems over the top but jesus wtf are you supposed to do after OB chaos dunks YB into a deep and yet understandable depression? Just have him come around and make YB continue to feel like a fool? I honestly don't know what I'd do here. Most of these stories have a very obvious and easy answer (90% of the time, that answer is to leave the situation). Obviously there could be more going on than is revealed in the text, but I just feel bad for everyone.

I recently started to date someone who is allergic to cats. It’s not a sniffle allergy, but a pretty severe one (not deathly though). My partner and I have started to get more serious - we’ve been seeing each other for a few months now, and I can’t have him over often because of his allergy. So I decided to rehome Spacey. My son is very upset about this and yelled at me, saying I was selfish and throwing Space away for some man I haven’t known for very long.

I’m also not allowed to see my female friends when they have their husbands with them. My late husband was a kind and loving man. My new partner is not. He is sweet to my son, other than this major incident, and he was sweet to me but he has moments of being controlling.

He will get mad and threaten to leave and this time I will let him. quote:I have wholeheartedly apologised to my son and guaranteed this will never happen again.

AITA for throwing my adult daughter out but keeping her cats? I hate to say it myself I do think my daugher is a piece of work. She works, but spends her entire salary on cats. Now, it's one thing to love cats, but when she spends almost all of her free time running in the streets feeding stray cats, donating money to shelters and the sick and injured and occationaly bringing cats home, you would know who pays for HER expenses. It's not like we can let her starve at home when she has no money for food. Ironically, she also does not spend a single cent on the cats she adopted. We have 6 cats now already, and I am the one feeding and cleaning after them when my daugher is outside saving the day. Me and my partner tried to talk some sense to her several times but she would get upset and goes on and on about how she find meanings on saving animals and that we should support her if anything. She is 29, turning 30 soon, and she is still living under our roof, with us paying for her expenses. While I have no idea if her life is as meaningful as she claims to be, I discussed with my partner and that we have to put this to a stop. We have informed her that she has till October to find some place to rent and then she needs to go. With her salary, she should be able to sustain herself as long as she controls how she spends. When she started to protest about how hard it is to rent a place that allow pets, we dropped the final bomb that the cats stay with us, she could not afford to take care of them all anyway. She had been rather miserable and blaming us for stopping her from saving more cats. She told me stories after stories about this and that cat she rescued the and they would die if she does not chip in for their surgeries. I am not having it, she should try to shoulder some real burdens when she is out there alone and paying for her own bills. Though really, if the cats she claimed she saved really die wouldn't she resent us? AITA for throwing her out like that?

AITA for choosing filet mignon as my entree at a friend’s wedding? Title says most of it, was talking about an upcoming wedding with friends today and mentioned that I’d chosen filet mignon while they’d all picked chicken or fish. They all immediately told me how rude and inconsiderate I was for choosing the most expensive option when I should know that our friend is trying to plan on a budget. I’m totally willing to admit that I wasn’t thinking about the cost to them, but I chose one of the options that was given to me. Does that make me TA or just thoughtless?
