WIBTA for asking the staff at my gym to stop someone from recording classes?

I can understand someone recording themselves to check their form, but this sounds way over the top, especially with the different angles thing. Why is that necessary? And why hasn't she been kicked out?!

Gotta get it for the 'gram! Don't most gyms have a "no recording other people" policy, anyway? I don't go to any since I don't like working out in public, but that was my general perception.

I feel like mom isn't wrong here. "As soon as the divorce was final" marriages aren't known for working out long term. Also, I feel exhausted just trying to imagine explaining the family dynamics to the kids when they are older.

Yeah, that's the weird part. I can't imagine getting together with someone who's already been in the family, just in terms of my own feelings, never mind having to deal with future awkwardness around the familial dynamics.

AITA for accidentally doing my friend’s roommate’s laundry?

quote:

I (AFAB, 18) have a friend, (AFAB, 23). My friend (I’ll refer to her as Tara) moved from Palestine in September and lives in a large house with around eight other people. Tara has been very depressed since moving here as she has little contact with her family who are still in Palestine. Her room has gotten very messy over the last month or two (which is unlike her) so I decided that every Saturday I would go over and help her out with cleaning, laundry, dishes, and making her dinner. This Saturday I came over around four pm, did my usual cleaning while she handled dinner, ate and then got ready to head back around nine pm. The washing machine has been acting up lately in Tara’s house so I offered that I bring home her laundry to my house, clean it and bring it over to her after school on Monday. She was grateful and told me to take the basket that was next to her backdoor on my way out. When I went downstairs to leave, I saw three baskets. I wasn’t sure which one was Tara’s but I was been driven home by my dad so I figured I’d just take all of them. The next day I washed them, dried them and folded them. Some of the clothes didn’t look like Tara’s so I figured some of them were her roommate’s stuff too. On Monday I went over to her house to drop of the clothes and one of her roommates opened the door, and after telling him why I was there he flipped out. He started yelling at me, saying that it was a violation of his privacy and that I shouldn’t have taken them. To put this in perspective, you have a 6’5 grown man yelling at a 5’2 teenager for doing his laundry. Another one of her roommates came over and began yelling at me as well after overhearing apparently i had washed her clothes too. Tara wasn’t there at the time so i dropped the clothes at the door step and walked home.

I do feel really awful as I feel like I trespassed her roommates property. I don’t know if I should tell Tara what happened or not. So, AITA?

But she's not quite pissed off enough to physically lock him out of the house, so y'know, going great! :toot:

Answer: Dear Uncertain Husband, it is very weird because you should never talk to your coworkers.

I'm always weirded out when folks on here are so vehemently against work friends, some of the best friends I've made have been at work. Sure, it's nice to have alone time sometimes, and forced social functions often suck, but working alongside people who are genuinely nice enough to become friends with just seems like a positive thing.

Spy/mail-order bride angles aside, did anyone else get the sense that this one is just an attempt at viral marketing for the site he mentions? I think it's the combination of using "how I found her is pretty interesting" to draw the reader's attention to the thoroughly uninteresting reveal of the site's name and phrases like "chat with real women" that sound like they came straight out of a dating site ad. And the whole "I'm a middle-aged divorced dude and found myself chatting with multiple women including a beautiful Russian girl in her 20s" thing sounds like exactly what these sorts of sites like to portray as the typical user experience.

It definitely felt on the glib side whether or not it's an ad, but yeah, it's always pretty suspect when somebody pointedly mentions a specific site in their story.

My (27F) boyfriend (29M) of 3 years told me that every guy should get a paternity test for his kid, just to be sure he's not raising someone else's child. Is this something I should be okay with?


OP posted:

[EDIT]: Thank you all for sharing your thoughts! I realize my initial wording may not have portrayed him positively. To provide more context, he has consistently been a wonderful partner, showing care and support. I don’t believe he would ever resort to aggression, as some comments suggested. My concern arose from his suggestion of a paternity test as a means of “fidelity” verification. While I understand the utility of DNA testing in certain situations, such as preventing paternity fraud, I found his suggestion in our monogamous relationship unnecessary. It felt like an accusation of infidelity and a lack of trust.

To clarify, the “hatred towards women” that I mentioned above surfaces mainly in discussions about instances of perceived betrayal or dishonesty by women. It seems more like an expression of his fears and concerns rather than genuine hatred towards women. I equate it to my own feelings when hearing about a man cheating on his pregnant wife – it’s a strong emotional reaction (i.e All men are pigs!!)

In everyday life, he is respectful, loving, and supportive. He treats women with kindness, holding doors and allowing them to go ahead in line at the supermarket. And yes, I think he would be a great father if we were to have a daughter. In the context of discussing a paternity test regarding our (future) child, it was easier for me to believe that his request stems from his strong aversion to betrayal rather than a lack of trust in me.

I plan to discuss this matter more in-depth with my partner to gain a better understanding of his perspective.

Oh btw, I forgot to mention that he's actually a perfect partner and potential father, and only has a deap-seated resentment of women because he's TOO caring
