Mine's on the latter. I will add a 3rd option of "Dad, you're retired and old. You are supposed to sit in a comfy chair for the rest of your life. The idea of you continuing to do things and live your life confronts my stereotypes of "the retired", so stop it." BrigadierSensible fucked around with this message at 08:23 on Apr 4, 2024 |

Hughlander posted:AITAH for going out with friends for the weekend after my wife locked me out of the bedroom and gave me the silent treatment. I love how, instead of saying, "Hey, OP can you take the rubbish out?" Which would have solved everything. Dude would know what the problem was, she would be reminded its her turn, so there would be no misunderstanding, and all would be well. But instead of that, she feels the need to put a lock on their bedroom door, for multiple nights not tell him anything about why, and it is explicitly as a "punishment" for something as petty as forgetting to take the rubbish out, (when in actuality he did nothing wrong). And on a more serious note, I am weirded out by the way she feels the need to "punish" her husband for minor indiscretions, and does so by the use of a lock on the bedroom door. Denying physical affection is a way to show that you are mad at your partner. But to need a lock to do it? To do it explicitly as a "punishment" That is not the sign of a happy or healthy relationship.

Halloween Jack posted:AITAH for not wanting to breakup my engagement with my fiance that happens to be my stepsister. The thing is, if it is "weird" then it is the parents who made it so in the first place by getting married and making the two lovers step siblings. All that had happened before then was a boyfriend and girlfriend who introduced their lonely parents in the hop that they would get along. Which is a good and wholesome thing. Just as those two parents getting along so well that they get married is a good and wholesome thing. Being pervy and prudish about the boyfriend and girlfriend continuing to date/get married is what's weird and wrong.

Kurieg posted:another goodie from the last thread This gift giver is a straight up monster. He intentionally makes his gifts dangerous, and dangerous enough to cause injury. And has done so repeatedly over many years. That is bad enough, but he does so in specific, elaborate ways to gently caress with a disabled person based specifically on their specific disability. And the "you have to pay us back for the gift we gave you" cousin is just as bad or worse. Husbands suggestion of going NC doesn't go far enough. This fuckwit needs to be bear-trapped.

If the stuff you picked for your buffet isn't grown-up enough for your wedding, that's really on you.

Whilst big broad brush strokes include the incel story as described. Thos particular one lacks the details, and importantly, the spite to make it an incel story. I read it as more a simple " I dont like you enough to put in the effort to do the sex stuff you want" and if so, OP was right to break up withher. For both their sakes.

I have personally seen such things where a racist mum/dad disapproves of their childs/ non white fiance/e. (It actually happened with my mum and dad. My Grandfather wouldn't talk to my mum at all until after I was born, and then because I was a "fair" skinned boy, all was well.) But the friend pushing the racist agenda, and trying to break up the seemingly happy couple for racist reasons is a new thing I havent seen

I am not as gung ho against "pranks" and "pranksters" as this thread is. But this is truth. It is not a prank, it is not fun time, if not everyone directly involved is laughing. I would add that if you are the one who is laughing at something you thought/hoped would be funny, and someone else is upset about it, then you done hosed up and what you need to do is not say "It was a prank bro!" But to understand that your actions have upset someone you supposedly like and/or care about, and apologize profusely for doing whatever it was that upset them.

kimbo305 posted:I'm curious if countries with healthcare still have ambulance costs passed onto the patient? It's unfortunate the OP didn't feel comfortable calling for the ambulance at the first severe sign. And it could be a shithole country like the US, I suppose. In Australia you can become what is known as an "Ambulance Subscriber" where you pay $50 a year to the Ambulance service, and after that all Ambulance trips are free. If you are not a subscriber, then an Ambulance can be stupidly expensive. Think $1,000 for a 45 minute trip to the hospital. It gets more expensive in rural areas with less Ambulances, and longer drive times. My other experience with international Ambulances are: In Japan, I showed my National Health Care Card, and an hour ride down to Tomakomai ended up costing me less than the taxi back home from the hospital. Also in Korea, I had to take the Ambulance, but this was a very short trip, and again, it was covered by my Health Care Card. Both were for issues with my knee, where I couldn't even walk across the apartment to the toilet to take a piss without excruciating pain. In both incidents, the Ambos were very accommodating with my poor Japanese/Korean language skills.

Pope Corky the IX posted:I know the person wasn’t a minor but it’s still predatory behavior. "predatory" doesn't go anywhere near far enough to describe a 35 year old grown man bullying a visibly nervous and apprehensive 20 year old girl, into having sex with him for the first time, then presenting her with a bullshit, petty printed out list of her "mistakes. "Abusive"? Yep. "hosed up"? yep. She needs to get away. Coz apart from all the obvious arseholery and abuse, a bloke who is prepared to go "You, girl almost half my age whose virginity I recently took. Here's a list of how I expect, nay mandate you to gently caress me better. I have printed it out for you to study up for next time." is capable of insane horrors.

Mr. Lobe posted:Always fascinates me when someone who breaks up with someone else is accused of being controlling for it I remember a story from here where a bloke did something like that. Threaten to break up with his girlfriend. And she called it abuse. To which his response was: "You know, you're right. That was abuse. I am an abuser. You really should not be going out with an abuser. So I guess, from now we are broken up." Although I will add the caveat that constantly threatening to break up over trivial poo poo does actually count as abuse. But even in cases such as that, you are better off not being in a relationship with the abuser anyway.

WRT "What I did on my holidays" story, I would posit that ESH It's a silly year 8 English question, designed largely to be busywork and to get the students practicing writing. It doesn't matter much more than that. So the girl is the arsehole for caring so much about one poor mark that she tries to get her mum to go into school to get it changed. The teacher is the arsehole for marking the girl down for using the silly meaningless prompt as an excuse to do a little creative writing. In year 8 that poo poo should be encouraged by an English teacher, not punished. So Boo to teacher. And whilst as a rule, I am against parents arking up against teachers and forcing them to change grades etc, mum is also an arsehole for not standing up for/defending her daughter
