AITA for publicly saying that I don’t need forgiveness from my coworker’s ex wife, who he divorced partly because of his one-sided feelings for me? My coworker Dan, who I’ve known for three years, recently divorced his wife Ella. His reasons were that he was no longer happy in the relationship and he apparently realized that he has feelings for me. I was surprised when he said that because while we are buddy-buddy in the office, we’ve never hung out outside of work and we don’t even talk to each other after office hours. We do talk a lot in the office, but it’s never about personal things like feelings or relationships, it’s always about our common interests or our work. He also never did anything to make me think he was interested in me, if he did I would have called him out because he was married and I was seeing someone for majority of the time we’ve known each other. Dan had already filed for divorce when he told me he had feelings for me. He said that he wanted to see if there could be something between us, but he was determined to get out of his marriage regardless if I would get together with him or not. I told him that I just got out of a long term relationship, the whole situation is too much for me and I wish him luck moving on but I am not going to date him. He said he respected my decision, he resigned soon after and hasn’t tried to contact me since then. The divorce was finalized last week, and Ella made an emotional post on Facebook about accepting what happened and believing that God has a plan for her. She said that “In my heart I have forgiven Dan and Alyssa (me) because I want to move on and heal in peace” and tagged both of us. When I saw the post, I was horrified because I felt like Ella seemed to imply that Dan and I did something wrong which warrants her forgiveness. I immediately replied that I am sorry she is going through all of this but I was never inappropriate with Dan, I didn’t know about or reciprocated his supposed feelings for me and the two of us don’t even have any communication now, by my choice. I said that I don’t think I’m someone she needs to forgive because I never did anything wrong. My family and friends are split about what I did. Some say that I was right because Ella tagged me publicly and her post implied that Dan and I had an affair, so I needed to defend myself. Others say that I should’ve had more compassion for Ella because I am one of the reasons why her husband left her whether I wanted it or not, and that I should’ve just messaged Ella privately instead of making it look like her husband left her for a woman who doesn’t even want to be with him. Am I really the rear end in a top hat here?

My [26F] Fiance [31M] just told me that he's not attracted to me but it's not something I can fix. So we have been together for 6 years and engaged for 2. I suffer from a few autoimmune conditions and unfortunately I cannot put on weight. It started to get worse the last 3 years but I'm medicating and managing the best I can. It sounds wonderful, I know, but it's not. I'm really bony and he always tells me I'm uncomfortable to cuddle so I end up going to the couch. I have a hard time keeping a lot of food down so I use a lot of meal shakes. I work closely with my doctor and do my best. I exercise lightly to stay strong. I just can't put weight on. I know it's not attractive. I bundle. I put pillows over myself for him. It's honestly work just to stay at a borderline safe weight but I try. He recently told me that he just prefers curves. I will never be voluptuous, he knows that. He only wants to watch porn with curvy girls instead of be with me. He wants me to just eat more. But the weight won't stick. He said that he sometimes just pictures a different person from the neck down. How do I explain to him in a way he will understand that I can't change my body like that? Is there something I can do to help satisfy him? I'm at a loss. TL;DR Fiance isn't happy with my body but I can't change.

Her mentioning and then tagging you was a public declaration of war. You should have said that while you want nothing to do with a loser like Dan, it's pretty clear that she ain't poo poo if she can't even keep him around.

therobit posted:Her mentioning and then tagging you was a public declaration of war. Yeah. Now that the Internet is the Real World, Facebook has become the new place for people to pull passive-aggressive poo poo. Tagging someone in something like this is definitely to get a rise. also, it sounds like Dan fell in love with a fantasy. OP literally only talked to him at work with smalltalk, they didn't even have a friendship! dude just literally did a whole bunch of big life poo poo because he's living alone in his own head with fake people. it's no wonder he apparently feels alone/unsatisfied even while with someone.

Also, just being tagged for something like that, even though she had nothing to do with it, could affect her down the road. Prospective employers these days will look you up on Facebook and this was her coworker and professional communities can be small. If she doesn't set the record straight right away she could not be hired over it down the road and have no idea.

AITA for telling my brother to stop wearing kilts on a casual basis? tl;dr: My brother, a lawyer who lives in an international Asian city, won’t stop wearing kilts on a casual basis. Our family hates it. We are not scottish. About 2-3 years ago he and his wife got hooked on Outlander; a TV show set in the Middle Ages in Scotland. They thought it would be funny to order kilts and wear them, but my brother took a liking to his, bought more and has been wearing them almost anytime he’s not at work. What this means is that in every picture we see of him and his family, he’s wearing this (IMO) ridiculous kilt in a sad attempt to be edgy and ‘zany’. Just FYI, he doesn’t look good in it. He looks like a person with mental problems. He gets stared at all over town where he lives, and my own friends think it’s bizarre. I’m concerned it’s going to affect his life professionally (his coworkers/bosses would probably not approve if they saw him in these outfits) and it will affect the lives of his children (who are 1-5 years old) who will be in the ‘eccentric’ family. I’ve checked with some close friends in the city I live in, they think it’s a stupid and possibly career-dangerous idea. I wish I could post some pics with his face blurred out (and with his consent), not sure what the rules are in this sub. Edit: so, I think it’s pretty clear what the result is, I’m happy to accept it. Thanks everyone for your inputs. Our other brother has suggested that I have to wear one of his kilts for a day because I lost our bet. To be clear, we’re all currently in a SE Asian country so guess I get to find out what it’s like to be stared at all day  Edit 2: yup, looks like I’m wearing a kilt for a day, lol

AITA for not building a relationship with my dad's affair partner / new wife? I am in my second to last year of high school and last year I found out that my dad was cheating on my mom with an employee of his. I told my mom because I knew my dad would never own up himself, and they got divorced. During the divorce, my mom was having a hard time coping and turned to drugs, and she got found out, now my dad has custody and I only have visits with her. It's all been really hard on me, and on my mom, and I resent my dad and how everything seemed to work out for him. He's married his employee and she's pregnant and living with us. Anyway, I've been polite to her because I don't want to screw myself over and make my dad too angry to pay for college. But it's the kind of "nice" I put on at my customer service job, a smile and pleasantness, but not actually getting to know her personally. It's hard for me to even do that, it's like a lot of emotional labor that I don't want to be doing in addition to school and work. Like for example, the kinds of stuff I'll say... If she asks me about school, I'll be like "It was nice, we had a nice lecture on genes in class" or she asks me about my teachers and I'll be like "they're nice, they all seem very smart" or she'll ask me about a movie I saw and I'd be like "It was good and funny" Just like trying to be positive and polite. But last week, she lost it at me and was like "Why is everything NICE with you? How's school? NICE. How's work? NICE. Your father says you hate your science teacher, but all you ever say to me is that everything's NICE like a broken record" and I was like "sorry. I really do mean it, school has been good" Anyway, later my dad talked to me and said not to play dumb, he knows I don't really think all my teachers are nice, don't like the actor in the movie I saw, don't really mean all the stuff I'm saying. And he and his wife can tell, and it's hurting because they both want me to be genuine. I said "ok I'll try" but TBH it is tiring enough for me to just be polite let alone genuine. Plus I feel like I'm genuine, and talk about what's actually on my mind, such as my mom, and being worried about her, it will go over even worse WIBTA to not tell my stepmother more?
