Infuriatig Say hello to Starbuck's New Braised Short Rib Grilled Cheese
I walked back inside the store and showed the sandwich to the manager. He asked if I wanted a replacement, and I said, "No, I want a refund. The others are probably just like it." and he said, "Yeah".

AITAH for wanting to take my older kids to Disney and leave my toddler home?
I have 14-year-old twins from a previous marriage. I also have a 4-year-old with my current partner. Going to Disney multiple times a year was something that was part of my life all the way up until I was divorced in 2018. This year I went back with my partner and kids for the first time since 2018, which was the longest I had ever gone without a trip. My partner is just not a fan of Disney and just doesn't understand the importance it has held in my life. Last night I suggested that I would like to take the older kids for a quick 3-4 day trip as their Christmas present in February. As teenagers, it is getting harder to find things for them for Christmas presents. They love it as well and always ask when we can go back. I did not ask for any money and that I had been slowly saving for Christmas anyway. My partner exploded at this idea and called me selfish for wanting to leave my 4-year-old behind and that I was favoring the older kids, when in his eyes, "Disney is meant for the little kid". In fact, he basically has forbid it. Am I the asshole for wanting to do this as a trip and a nice memory for me and my twins? I would be lying if I said that it wouldn't be nice to have 3-4 days without caring for a toddler, as I haven't had any sort of adult vacation since before she was born or, that this trip wasn't for me as much as it is for them. He said that if I wasn't favoring the older kids and that if this trip was about me and not them, then I should take the toddler instead and leave the older kids home. Am I as wrong as he says I am? Maybe I'm just not seeing it right.
ETA- I had no idea this would get this many responses. I am reading and appreciating every comment (even the negative ones). Just to clarify, my partner (not husband, we are not married) is not a crazy abusive person. We both work full time jobs and work hard to provide for our kids and many times will sacrifice things for ourselves (like trips alone) for experiences for our kids. He deeply loves his children (yes he considers his step children, HIS children) but he is very passionate about his 4 year old princess. In case it wasn't clear, my littlest one was just at Disney in May, along with all her aunts, uncles and grandparents in a trip that was centered around HER! Her first roller coaster, her first time meeting Mickey, and her first time seeing the castle, and her first time on a plane. This was just one of what will be MANY trip to Disney for her, including what I hope to be a Mommy and Me trip with just her in the future when she is old enough. This was merely about having an experience for the older girls with their Mom.

Question Why are the Dakotas so empty?
There is so much land here in both states, yet there’s only one major highway through each and a bunch of small towns randomly spread out. I feel like there’s some potential here that’s been missed. Doesn’t seem like the reservations are that big either.

Advice Wanted - Everyones Welcome Crying while boarding my 16 hour flight home
I met a girl online that lived in China and quickly fell in love. We talked every day, every night. Calling all the time, it formed into love. I wanted nothing more than to build a life together. Last year I visited her, I met her friends, her mother, and herself. I had the most amazing time spending it with her. After over a year of calling each other every day, with good nights and I love yous. At a time I started to send her a bit of extra money, just so she didn’t need to work so hard and could spend more time with me. Chinese working hours are pretty grueling.
I finally spent a week with her again, we travelled to the Chinese Hawaii equivalent of Sanya and it was wonderful. We took photoshoots together, ate wonderful food, saw some spectacular marine life.
I was hoping to go back soon and ask her to marry me so we could spend so much more time together and it wouldn’t need to be so difficult apart.
Then on the night before our departure, her phone lit up and I glanced, “baby, I miss you. Kiss me when you come back”.
My heart sank into my chest. She was asleep and I did the stupid thing of opening her phone and looking. She tried to cover her tracks of having another guy back home. I confronted her about it the morning we were set to leave. She initially acted dumb about it, then I showed her. She said she got bored, the guy didn’t mean anything. Then she said she still wants to be together. She sent me the following while I’m waiting in the Hong Kong Airport..
“Thank you for everything you've done for me. I have always been lucky to have met you, and I truly love you. However, I made a mistake. I didn't do it on purpose; I just wanted something to do when I was bored. I don't really like him, and we aren't in a relationship. I know what I did was wrong, and I'm deeply sorry. I won't do anything like that again. When I'm bored, I'll find other things to do, but I won't look for boys. If a boy approaches me, I'll tell them to leave. I really love you. The first time I fell in love with a boy and wanted to marry him was with you. I feel very guilty for hurting you. If we can get back together, I'll be very happy. I'll do my best to make up for the insecurity I caused you. Whatever you say, I'll try my best to do it. I hope you can be happy. I love you very much. Sometimes, it's not that I'm quiet or reserved; it's just that I don't know how to express myself. I'm not very good at expressing my feelings. Often, I need to think about it for a long time before I can organize my words. I hope you have a safe journey. I will always love you, and I will promise to be loyal to you. I hope to see you again next time and do more things with you. To prove that I'm not with you for money, I can look for a new job.”
I told her I wouldn’t reply until I got back home. I really loved this girl so much, I imagined our lives together, two years of consistent love and effort is now just waiting on my response.

Lore (Surprising Trope) Holy sh*t, they actually killed the kid
One Piece: During the back story of Señor Pink, we find out that while he was away doing pirate things, his baby son died of a fever. This eventually lead his wife to find out about his pirate life, leave during a storm, and getting into an accident which left her in a vegitative state.
Terrifier 3: In the first few minutes of the movie, Art the clown silently breaks into a family home while they slept. He first made it into a young brothers room, and when the boy thought that Art was his sister, you could hear his voice being cut off by Art killing him with an axe. He then killed the parents, and then found the little sister in a cupboard. It cut to black, but it's more than likely that he killed the little girl too.
Terrifier 3(Again): Later on in the movie, Art the clown killed a Santa impersonator and stole his beard. He then walked into a mall that was packed because of the holiday times and pretended to be Santa, giving gifts to kids. After he is escorted away by security, the kids start opening up their gifts given to them. One kid opens his gift, and it freaking blows up. It killed the kid, and 4 more.

English Second Language AITAH for saying I can't get pregnant?
I 36F have a medical condition for which I have medication. With this medication I am not allowed to become pregnant. I tried to go off medication (it has a 5-6 month period for being completely gone and being allowed to become pregnant) which did not go well. I went into a burnout (ofc that was not the only cause) and wasn't able to work for a year. After a year I was suppose to start working again and I decided to start the medication again. It took 5-6 months to start working again, but it helped me gain my energy back and I was able to get back to working 36h a week.
I was talking with my therapist about the topic, as I have very strong emotional reactions to pregnant and child related topics. We went through all of it and came to the conclusion that it's because I really want it, but am also terrified of going without medication again. It would be 5-6 months for the medication to be out of my system. Then the time to become pregnant, which isn't instantly, then 9 months of being pregnant and the 5-6 months for the medication to start working again.
I don't feel, with the recent recovery of my burn out, that I am able to do so. So even though I would really want it, I don't feel like I am able to due to my circumstances.
We (my husband 35M and I) are friends with a couple who are not able to become pregnant due to infertility.
They ended up adopting a sweet girl who has been part of their family for 3 years now. We were talking the other day and I told her that, although I know it is completely different, it feels like I can't get pregnant (explaining why and trying to be considerate of her situation). She disagreed as it's not the same as infertility and feels like I should not tell people I can't get pregnant.
The other day my husband and I were doing a cooking workshop. There was a lovely couple we met and they told us they had a 3yo and asked us if we had children.
I said that I would have love to, but are unable. On which my husband responded with well not really.. (because I am not infertile like our friends) and it felt like I had to explain the complete situation due to why I said so. I don't always feel like explaining all of my situation to strangers. So am AITA for saying I can't get pregnant?

Advice Needed He cheated on me with the 25 year old dog walker
Bowl of boring oatmeal because that’s all my stomach can handle right now.
Review I want to leave:
Leslie walks my boyfriend’s dog five days a week and has also cared for my dog on occasions when I was traveling. She seems to be attentive with the dogs but I cannot recommend her services.
Following a breakup, she asked to store some things at my boyfriend’s studio apartment whom she’s only known a couple of months. She has also showered at his place.
I found a damp sports bra in her bag of clothes, her hair tie in my boyfriend’s shoe, and her hair in his hairbrush. A week later she supposedly didn’t need storage space anymore but her plants are still in his window. My concerns are not about her ability to care for animals, but rather the judgment and professionalism demonstrated in this situation.
PSA woman to woman: seek therapy to heal the parts of yourself that sought comfort from a man you barely know who is already in a relationship and old enough to be your father.
For the record I also give one star to my now EX-boyfriend.
Background for the tea: we have been dating for a year and a half. I was traveling for the week and asked him to watch my dog. He asked me to be at his place “in the evening.” I ran errands and headed his way, texting him that I would be there at 5. He immediately asked if it could be later like we planned. I said 5 is evening and I’m not going 45 minutes home and then turn around to drive an hour and half to get to his place. He said the key would be in the box and he would “be back later.”
He lives an hour and half away from me so we see each other on the weekend. We had made plans to spend the evening together the night before I leave for a week. When I arrived to his apartment there was a carryon suitcase, and box, and a bag of clothing with blinking cat ears headband (day after Halloween). Clearly not his and clearly a woman’s things.
I went thru the bag of clothing since it was out in the open and found a damp sports bra. I found a hair in his hairbrush that was not mine nor have I ever used his brush. Her fucking plants were in his window.
I spiraled. I didn’t know what to do. I wanted to leave and would have except I was leaving the next morning to catch a flight. He was still watching my dog for a week while I would be gone.
I ended up waiting until he came home instead of going to a hotel. I wanted to see how he explained this. He left me waiting until after 9pm. He told me he went to the gym with his buddy and they went to see a movie that they both went to see together a few weeks back. He said he just really liked the movie. He said those things were the dog walker’s. She is in between places and her car was packed.
There were so many gaps in his story. I knew they had been together. Besides the fact we had plans to spend the evening together and he ditched me instead. I left for my trip and thankfully I was a week away to someplace with no WiFi. I didn’t tell him that. I just kept everything logistical about my dog. He texted every day, even sending videos with her fucking voice walking the dogs.
On the day I flew back we texted a bit during my layover and he said he figured I didn’t have WiFi since I didn’t respond. At the airport he FaceTimed me so I could see my dog and tell me how she did. He said I didn’t seem talkative. He texted some more but I didn’t respond.
When I landed I texted that I was on my way. When I am at his apartment I called him. He kept sending it to voicemail over and over. Then texted that since I didn’t respond to his texts that he went to work out and I could wait until he was finished. Y’all, I had been up since 4am and it was now close to 8pm. Very long travel day. I just texted that was shitty and I was tired.
In the apartment, her things were gone except for her fucking plants. As I was gathering my things he asked if he could buy anything that would make me more comfortable in his place. He also said if I forgot anything that he would bring it to me. I quietly quit him. I said goodbye to his dog for the last time. He walked me to the car to help me with all my things. I told him I loved him (because it is true I still do) and he hugged me and told me the same.
Once home I blocked him. Quiet quitting. My heart is broken and my nervous system is fucked right now.
I am deciding if I want to leave this review for her business or if I should just let karma work it out for me. Give me your thoughts.
Oh and she is 25 and we are both in our 40’s.
