I think the OP is probably being a bit oversensitive and could've tried to move past it, but if you replace pumping with some dude playing an anxiety drum solo with his pencil it's understandable to raise the issue.

Yes, it is incredible if you can get it. I was blessed to attend a comped meal where it was probably $1000 for seven people and one of the items was a kobe beef platter and it was one of the best things I've ever eaten. All other meat I've had has not compared.

Unequivocally the father is a monster and an rear end in a top hat, but the OP needs way more therapy. They are protecting a lot of hate and unfair comparison and it sounds like they still have a ton of unresolved stuff to talk about. Obviously they aren't wrong or an rear end in a top hat, but that was not enough therapy

That's exactly my point. You aren't fixed. My mom died when I was 9 and I went through a lot of what that poster went through. They definitely need more work to be able to not have have this betrayal, combined with the lingering trauma of losing their mother, wreck their adult life.

Their dad is a monster and the step mom is understandably hurt and apparently doesn't have the self esteem to handle that, which is sad in itself. It's a poo poo situation all around.

I’m clearly outnumbered here and made my case as best I could with the given information, but it’s bleak. Both sisters are clearly in the wrong for stealing and for covering up for it. The brother is rightfully outraged and is doing what he thinks is right against the injustices his sisters and family at large brought on him. However, it has and will continue to be a tremendous burden on him psychologically for the rest of his life, even if his sister getting punished makes him (and us, the audience) happy in the short term.

Real talk, you're absolutely right that "living well" would 100% be more of a healthy alternative for this poor guy.

unfortunately, like most humans, his tragic bitter husk lacks the Buddha's more enlightened qualities and so he's doing what he can: seeking justice through the machinery put in place (for better or worse) to help him attain that justice.

But I'm sure he would appreciate your incisive perspective on his mental health.

All he needs to understand is that

I’m posting here because I don’t know if I made the right decision and I still have time to reverse it. I don’t want what is TECHNICALLY right, I know I can kick anyone out of my house who is an adult and not paying rent. I just want to know if I was an rear end in a top hat for this.

My brother was supposed to be watching my son (3 years old) while I was visiting family. He sent me these weird texts right before I got home until he called and explained to me he had a date come over, but she started acting really crazy and hasn’t left.

When I got back home, the girl was still there, CRYING. I tried to talk to her but she wasn’t saying anything that made sense. My brother said he didn’t do anything to her, they started hooking up and then she started freaking out. I ended up driving her home in her car and she explained things a little more to me, but not why she was so upset. She did say she just met him on Tinder, and I told her I couldn’t believe she talked a little bit with a guy on Tinder and just…went to his house? I tried to give her a safety talk but she just told me she wasn’t in the right state of mind at the time which confirmed her problem wasn’t my brother.

I told my brother I couldn’t believe he brought a stranger over when my son was there and he said he was asleep the whole time. I said I didn’t care, you can’t bring strangers over ESPECIALLY for sex when he’s supposed to be looking after my son. Then I said having a stranger over is dangerous and he said she’s an eighteen year old girl (he’s 20, not a creep), she’s not like bringing a grown man over. He did that “I’m sorry for trying to have a personal life” thing and I told him he’s leaving by the end of the week.

This morning I honestly feel pretty bad but instead of apologizing to me he’s just avoiding me. Which is making me not want to go back on what I said. AITA?

It feels like I'm sleeping in a hotel bed every night, absolutely glorious and worth the extra bit of effort. (Also, you don't really need an unlimited supply. I have 6 sets of sheets and so each sheet still only goes in the washing machine about once a week, and they hold up to that pace of washing fairly well.)

"I'm having the worst Christmas ever, and it's all because I did something I explicitly told my partner I wouldn't do! What gives???"

Yeah no that's not what this is. We're not doing gifts and someone shows up with a gift? Possible rear end in a top hat, really depends on if they have Mr Rogers level vibes of good spirits and aren't flexing.

Her response is totally disproportionate and blaming a seizure on him isn't cool at all. That's projecting like gently caress on a mostly innocent gesture. From the person already supporting your rear end.

AITA for donating money in my boyfriend's name for Christmas?

quote:

My (m18) family has a lot of money, but we live very average. We have a two story house with just enough bedrooms for everyone, an art studio in our garage, and a nice entertainment center in our basement. We only go on one vacation a year and it's to visit my parents' families back in France (we live in the US) during summer. My boyfriend's (m18) family does not have enough money to feed everyone or have power half the time.

On birthdays and Christmas time, because my parents have always told my sister and I that we have everything we need so instead of gift giving, we do charity. Sometimes we run meal stands for the homeless people, we donate lots of money and food to areas, ect.

My boyfriend and I have been friends for about two years but this was our first christmas as a couple. He's always known the charity thing and he's always thought it was a great thing. For Christmas, he got me some rings and earrings off Amazon. I gave him a printed out screenshot of the email I got for donating money to a local animal shelter in his name.

He made a face looking at the paper but it was in front of my family so he smiled and said thank you, kissed my cheek, and moved on. I could tell it bothered him, though, so I brought it up a few days later and he told me it didn't have any thought or care to it. I thought it did have a lot of care. He volunteers for animal shelters sometimes and loves animals to death. He constantly talks about adopting a dog when he has his own place.

I was honestly really surprised he was so upset about this as a gift. It's been days now and his texts are dry and usually only a word or two. He "didn't feel up for it" when I asked if we were spending New Years together. I'm worried now I may have made the wrong call. Was it really that insensitive of a gift? How can I make up for it?

Edit: A lot of commenters are saying I should have helped him with the money instead of giving it to charity. My family already helps him all the time. We give him food money for his sister and him all the time. When we found out he sleeps outside a lot, we got rid of our couch in the basement and replaced it with a pull-out so he would always have a place to sleep. I thought getting him something like a gift card for groceries or whatever would be more rude than anything else.

My intention with this as a gift was to show he's apart of the family now, seeing as it is a family tradition. He never expressed any desire for a material gift (or that he was getting me anything) so I assumed he knew/didn't have a preference for a gift. Had he asked, I would have gotten a different gift. I thought it was thoughtful, as it's something important to him while I would have given it to a different organization had it been in my name. (Not that I don't think shelters are important, I'm just trying to get across that I was thinking of him when I picked where to put the money.)

I can see not wanting to hang out at a place that has nude art of your girlfriend if you friends are the kind of dudes who'd go "are those your girlfriend's titties, nice, i'm just gonna give a detailed account of my view on her nips," and there's at least one guy like that in this guy's friend group. Maybe it could be a nice learning experience and they realize that not only does everyone have a naked body, they're pretty much interchangable once you've seen more than a few.

This I think is the one possible argument that could be made. 100% the (serious) artists don't get off, and it would be one thing if the artist in this story was just going to turn the art in and then get rid of it or just jam it in a portfolio, but to hang it up where the collective friend group can see is a boundary that i think is legitimate. Obviously the op can make the boundary and it's up to the gf to either maintain it or cross it.

Depending on the circumstances of the painting (small, hung among many others vs huge and prominent) and my friend group (full of pervy aholes?) I could be uncomfortable with the situation.
