Utterly enarmored by a woman, she is a gradute of Sorbonne and not some bullshit lingustics but Phylosophy. We fallen in love with one another. Any time I would complain about something she would respond with profound thought. I fucken loved it. Very clever, eloquent, a princess. Except the fucken jaw. gently caress. She wanted to meet in a park, I agreed and simply did not show up. Because her jaw is so ugly

WIBTA if I started sending out my cover letter to literary agents before my boyfriend is ready?

Good luck, guy who's going for Tolkien-length writing in your book debut, I'm sure you'll definitely have it ready to go by New Year's

AITA for pulling out of mine and my dad's tradition because my stepbrother was going so my dad cancelled it then?

AITAH for not loving my future kids

Girl, RUN.

Maybe it's my lack of relationships overall, but I would want an experienced partner, because they probably know a bunch of cool poo poo. You go SCUBA diving, you don't go in with another person who just got certified, you do your first dive with a divemaster!

"In America, this is very normal."

Seriously, I find this quite weird. I've studied 6 foreign languages in a formal classroom context and no teacher did this. Ever.

Then again, English speaking cultures do it, too*, so perhaps that's why your Spanish teachers did this. The crowd who was saying "just call people by their actual" name clearly hasn't seen English-speakers (or French-speakers) struggle to pronounce my first name. Even when I tell them how to do it, most of them still gently caress it up, even though all the individual phonemes of my name exist in English. So to those who really struggle, I will offer them to call me by my [language]-equivalent.

* e.g. with names from Antiquity, like, what's so hard about Marcus Antonius that he has to be 'Mark Anthony' instead?

My father-in-law was born in Sweden to Polish refugees before they came to the US, and "Andrzej" (pronounced "Ahn-zhey") became "Andy" at Catholic school because nuns gonna nun. I asked him once if he wished he'd been able to go by his birth name more instead of the English version but he said he didn't really care, but that it was kind of nice to have a sort of a "family name" that only his mom and dad called him.

the post was removed for violence? wtf?

after totally nuking the trust your parents have with you at 17, being ground for several months is pretty reasonable. Had she caused that kind of damage to someone else she's be looking at serious legal consequences.

I had a 24-hour layover in the Denver airport. About 6 years ago. I still think about it with dread sometimes, like I think about bad panic attacks I have had.

The rest of the trip was fine, but spending 24 hours in the Denver airport, any airport, is not something I will do ever again by choice.

I realise everyone has different levels of comfort with bodily fluids, which is fine, but I still want to yell "get in the tub, weiner" at the husband.

(Full disclosure - I have been present for all the births of our kids and actually caught the last one cos the midwives had stepped away for a few minutes. I'm also a weirdo who made plaster casts of all their placentas, so my tolerance for ickiness is pretty high.)

Giant Hogweed is a horror I would not wish upon anyone. Good lord. It is a plant the devil designed.

My garden backs onto a stream, I'm battling a tiny bit of Giant Hogweed (finally seems to have been conquered) and Himalayan balsam, which was introduced to the UK as a very pretty ornamental plant in the 18th Century but is now classed as a weed and an invasive plant. It really likes the Scottish soil. To the point the local council organises "Balsam Bashing" events where some serious men go around the rivers and canals with heavy duty equipment, trying to tame it so that anything else can get a chance to grow in its' place.

AITAH for dumping my GF after moving in with her


OP: I'm hurt by this thing you did!
Ex: Hey no one got hurt.

Gender swapped version of this would lead to the police being called.
