The new girlfriend has committed these grave misdeeds:

-being young

This lady is understandably upset, but trying to hurt a relationship between the new gf and the kids is punishing the only innocent parties involved.

TL/DR: Doctor lends nurse apartment in HCoL city, won’t accept money. How to say thank you?

I am a nurse in a high cost of living area. While going through a difficult separation and divorce, a doctor I work with frequently gave me an apartment he owns to live in for a few months. He has refused all monetary offers, including a small $100 offer just to cover utilities. The apartment was empty for 6 or 7 months before I moved in, I’ve lived there 3 months with maybe 1 to go. They are now starting to show the place. How to best show gratitude? Wine? A gift card to a nice restaurant in his home town? A visa gift card he can’t give back? We are a close team, I know his wife and kids. I also know the apartment is fully paid off, not that it matters. Taxes and utilities still exist! Any thoughts appreciated, nothing dirty please. It’s definitely not like that! Thanks for your input and have a great day!

I must be an idiot bc I thought I was engaged for the past 2 weeks

quote:

I've proposed to my boyfriend (32 y/o after year and half of dating, year of living together, and friend of 10 years) on multiple occasions over the past 6 months, everytime he wouldn't directly say yes or no, just smile and hug me. A few weeks ago he asked me if when we get ahead in our finances a little more if I wanted to go to Vegas and get married. Now I'm not the type of person to really seek out that type of wedding, but out of the excitement of him asking me this I said "yes of course I will marry you!" Which is where I suppose I foolishly got on my head I am now engaged. After all I had proposed multiple times previously and now he officially asked me to marry him. HOWEVER I AM A loving IDIOT After about 2 weeks of me being all super happy and thinking hard about it and working extra hours to get the extra income in to start saving, with him randomly bringing up small things about the future wedding, I decide to ask him since the holidays are coming and we'll be seeing family "When should we tell people we're getting married?" [Insert foot straight into my idiot mouth] Hes response was flat, confused sounding, and straightforward... "after I propose." Ok. Cool dude. So me proposing meant nothing. Him officially asking me to marry him meant nothing. Am I just absolutely that stupid to think I was engaged when in fact I was not or was I correct to think I was now engaged?

At this point, yes.

UPDATE to I [22M] found out my girlfriend [21F] owns a dog penis dildo.

quote:

So I brought it up. Tried keeping it light hearted while still being honest.

Well. Her reaction isn’t what I expected. She just started crying. I was confused and doing my best to comfort her. It was really awkward. She starts apologising heaps and I don’t even know what she’s sorry for. It’s just a dildo.

So then she calms down a bit and tells me the story. Apparently her first sexual experience was with a dog. She was horny and not thinking straight and young and stupid. I was shocked and confused. I thought this kind of stuff happened on the Internet in countries far away. Nope. My girlfriend is the last person I’d have expected to do anything like this.

I ask some questions about whether it happens anymore and she said no, definitely not, and she won’t do it again. She also reassured me the dog wasn’t hurt at all. She told me she regretted it all. I ended up asking questions about the logistics and everything. I’m still just honestly shocked. I don’t know what to think. She apparently got the dildo because she liked the knot feeling that dog dicks get. I won’t go into details of her experience but my mind has been blown.

I just reassured her that I loved her and we watched Netflix and got pizza. Cuddled her lots and she was much happier. She thanked me so much for not judging her and told me she’s very happy with our relationship.

I love her and she’s become one of my best friends. I believe her when she said she’d never do anything like it again. I just don’t really feel anything about it yet. I think I’m still processing it. It just feels surreal that my girlfriend has done something like that. It’s just so different from the vanilla type of relationship we have. I’m worried once my brain has processed it that it might change my feelings. Or maybe I’ll be insecure because my dick is very average and nothing like her taste.

But for now I’m very happy with the way I handled it. I was honest, she’s happy and I think I am to.

I dismissed this one as bullshit but I found this comment by the OP and it just seemed like such a believable rationalization from a horny 22yo and I keep laughing at it:

I’ve been telling myself it doesn’t matter and she’s a different person. Even the cells along the vagina would be different now so not even the same vagina really.

AITA for sending back a wedding invitation?

This seems really stupid but the more I think about it, the more justified I feel about my actions but my MIL thinks I'm a huge rear end in a top hat so I'm looking for some non-bias judgement.

On Friday after I got home from work I checked the mail to find that my in-laws had sent us a wedding invite. They addressed it to John and Jane Smith, however my name isn't Jane or even somewhat close to Jane (think something like Valerie).

I was/am extremely hurt that they don't seem to remember my name, even though I have been with my husband for 3 years and I'm friends and interact with them on social media, we also see them fairly regularly (a few times every couple of months) and they attended our wedding in July of this year.

My husband called my MIL to explain the situation and ask why they would think my name is Jane. My MIL started laughing uncontrollably and said that, "that was the funniest thing she had heard all day." She then went on to say that she gave them both of our names and addresses when they were asking for invite information so she doesn't understand how they could've gotten Jane from Valerie.

Here's where I might be the rear end in a top hat: I put the wedding invite back into the envelope and crossed out the name Jane, wrote my name (Valerie) above it, and mailed it back to my in-laws with a note saying we will not be attending (we already have plans for that day). When my MIL found out what I had done, she said that I had "ruined the upcoming holiday (Thanksgiving) because my in-laws will feel dumb at their teeny mistake".

However, I feel like it wasn't a "teeny mistake". They had multiple sources (social media, the text my MIL sent to them, calling my husband) to find out my name had they actually forgotten it but they chose to grab a random name from thin air to put on the invite.

So reddit, am I the rear end in a top hat for sending back the invite?


EDIT: I was told I should update the post to clarify that my in-laws have done other petty things (like call me my husbands ex girlfriends name from high school for the first 6 months) in the three years I've been with my husband which is the main reason I responded the way I did.

AITA for wanting to cut off contact with a friend and the widow of a late friend because they're dating now?

Title is horrible but hear me out.

I've been hanging out with this group of friends for about 11 years. Some I met during college and others got into it as the years went by. Last year we lost one of our friends, Michael, because of a cardiac arrest. Michael was married, had been for 4 years and knew his wife for even longer than that. In our same group there is Adam, who was friends with Michael since high school and got into our group at the same time Michael did.

Now the issue that is the reason behind this post is that Adam has told us a couple days ago that he's dating Michael's widow. We were all surprised by this because we never saw it coming. After Michael died we all did our best to provide comfort and support for her, Adam included, but as far as we knew and as far as he told us at the time they were just hanging out/having talks when she needed. Now we get to find out they have been getting to know each other better for at least 6 months. When Michael has been dead for 1 year and 4 months.

This has split the group in three. The ones that believe that they should be allowed to do whatever they want and don't see a problem with it. Then the ones that believe he's taking advantage of Michael's widow. And the ones that think they're both wrong and also don't want to be around Adam and her anymore.

I'm with the last group. Yes, everyone deals with grief in different ways but this doesn't sit right with me and I also think it's just a tasteless thing to do. Me and others have said that we would not keep hanging out with Adam and also we would not keep in touch with Michael's widow. If they were free to do whatever they wanted they also should deal with the consequences of this. So, are we being assholes in this?

That's like ten months after the husband passed away so I dunno, that's fine. And not that surprising, really, if this guy is a longtime friend of the husband, so he was important to the two of them and so they can share that grief. How long do they think this woman should've been in mourning before she's allowed to date again?

I don't think differently shaped dildos are a problem. Bestiality is DEFINITELY a problem, but the answer to the dildo question itself is, at its most innocent, just some people liking the feel of a knot.

AITA for calling my friend a prostitute?

While my friends and I were on vacation, we were just talking about life. Soon, we talked about our sex lives.

Let's call this girl Amanda. Amanda admitted that she was a sugar baby, and would have sex with multiple men for money. She said that word for word. The atmosphere got extremely awkward, and then I decided to make it more awkward. "So, you're a prostitute?" A couple people laughed and chuckled. She replied back with "I'm a sugar baby, not a prostitute. Huge difference". I asked what the difference was, and she then stammered a bit and said gently caress you.

I honestly didn't think she would be offended. My friend group is divided half and half with them siding with me or not.

So, AITA?

AITA for keeping 1000$ my "friend" accidentally sent me on PayPal?

I was once good friends with a guy, let's call him Jason. Jason and I were really close, he was there for me when I came out as gay to my family and always stood by me during hard times and we even dated for a while but things didn't work out romantically. I lent him 500$ last year because he had some debts he had to pay off and I told him he could pay me back in increments and I didn't expect it all back in one go. He was fine with this arrangement and paid me back 25 each paycheck. He then lost his job so I told him not to worry about it and to pay me back when he could. Few months go by and I lent him another 300$ with him promising hr would pay back and then after a while he got a really good paying job through his husband's company. I asked him if he could possibly start paying me back since my hours had been cut at my job since things were slow.

A few months went by and he hadn't paid me at all but he wasn't quiet about his big purchases of a new 2018 Porsche, all the weed he was buying weekly and a Rolex for his husband for his birthday. I shot him a message saying if he could please start paying me back since he can clearly afford all these things but I was left on read. I started to make peace with the fact that I probably wouldn't be seeing that money again so I just started to distance myself from Jason

This morning I woke up from 2 notifications. 1 was from Paypal saying Jason had sent me 1000$ and the second was a message from Jason saying he accidentally sent me that money and if I could please send it back. I thought about it for a second but then thought how it would greatly help with some backed up bills I had. However to be fair I was just gonna take the amount he owed me (which was about 600). I told him I would send back 400 but keep the 600 he owed me. He started to blow my phone up saying I was a thief and a bunch of other names and expletives. I told him that if that's how he's going to be then he can forget about getting any money back then I blocked him.

My boyfriend said I was in the right and so did some of my other friends but some other friends said it was a dick move and that I have to be "the bigger person" and send back all the money. Was I justified or was I the rear end here? I'm not sending it back no matter what but I just wanna know
