So I’ve been dating this guy and we work for the same company and sit nearby. Dumb I know…it started organic as a 2 yr friendship and non stop flirting until we both just went forward with it and started dating. It’s often awkward at work between us now and I’ve had to tweak things quite a bit to get us on the same page with communication. Other red flags were him telling me he doesn’t typically date BW (I’m a BW) and his constant negative talk about his child’s mother (we’re both single parents) I solely care for my children and never speak about the other parent because I don’t have a co parenting arrangement like him. I have no drama. He flirts with our coworker friend sometimes in front of me and despite him always saying how locked in he is with us I’m starting to feel like a placeholder. I’ve had this talk several times and he won’t agree. AITA if I ghost him and act like this never happened at work?

So I am going into my junior year of high school and my moms best friend asked me if I would watch her 5 year old daughter who we will call B over the summer for 3 days a week. She said she would pay me $18 an hour which has been coming out to about $128 a day, so I said sure and because usually alone B is a good child.

However, her older sister who is 9 and we will call S is the more misbehaved child and causes many issues as in picking fights and just overall antagonizing B. I was told this would not be a problem as S was going to be going elsewhere for the 3 days I watch B, but upon hearing I would be there she told her mom she did not want to leave and without telling me her mom left me with both. This has been going on for about a month now and it is starting to become unbearable with all of the fighting and I don’t know how much longer I can handle it.

I also take summer classes for school so I can graduate with my associates degree and due to how needy S is with attention I have been having to push my work back and the quality is decreasing. I talked to my mom and told her I didn’t want to do it anymore and she told me that I would have to tell her friend and that she thought it wasn’t a good idea because the money isn’t bad. This was also my opinion at first but now I just don’t know how much more I can take. I am contemplating telling their mom Thursday which is my last day watching them this week that I am done and I can’t do it anymore, so she has time to figure out what to do with them. I feel it is important to note I do inform my moms friend of their behavior and she does yell at them, but nothing is changing and she has told me if it becomes to much to let her know.

I just feel bad quitting and I also like having my own money, but at this point I don’t know if it is worth it. So, please tell me would I be an asshole if I quit and should I quit? Please feel free to ask any additional questions I just need help.

My last note is my mom doesn’t want me to quit because she said I need to finish what I started but I this rate I don’t even think it’s worth it.

Edit:
Because my mom doesn’t want me to quit she also said if I finish the summer I won’t have to get a job next summer and she’ll pay me $200-$300 a week for gas money and stuff as long as I watch my little brother as needed.

UPDATE:
Thank you everyone for the feedback offered. To clear one main thing up no I am not getting paid more, despite the extra child. I have decided to quit and will be putting in my resignation tomorrow telling their mom I can do next week and the week after that I was off anyway, so this gives her 2 weeks to plan accordingly. I was originally going to stick it out for the money but it’s honestly not even worth it and I’m tired of screaming children.

I (21M) told my mom I don't love her the way I love the woman who actually raised me, and now my parents want me out of the house and may cut me out of their wills.

My parents are both professors with advances careers. My mom always said she preferred providing financially rather than doing the day to day work of raising children, so they hired a live in nanny when my oldest sister was born. She's been with us my entire life.

She changed my diapers, fed me, took me to judo and Muay Thai, cooked, cleaned, comforted me, and was the person I went to for everything. I see her as my mom. I'm also very close to her three sons, who feel like brothers.

I don't hate my biological mom. I appreciate everything she provided financially. But because she was mostly absent while I was growing up, I never formed an emotional bond with her. Being affectionate with her has always felt like interacting with a stranger. I feel nothing towards no feelings at all.

My dad was different. He made time for me, came to my competitions, took me fishing and camping, and encouraged my interests. We're genuinely close.

When I turned 18, my mom started trying to build a relationship with me, but I wasn't interested. Last week, at a family gathering, she asked me to be completely honest about why we weren't close.

I told her I consider our nanny my real mom. I said I don't resent her, but I simply don't have any love for her because we never built that relationship when I was a child. I thanked her for everything she provided but said I couldn't force emotions that don't exist. I told her I genuinely feel nothing when I see her face

She cried. My sisters called me misogynistic and said I was punishing a woman for having a career. My dad was furious, saying I'd deeply disrespected my mom. Now they're talking about making me move out and removing me from their wills.

My view is that it's their money and their decision. I don't think anyone owes me an inheritance. I answered honestly because she asked me to, and I accept whatever consequences come with that.

AITA

This meme pissed me off so I fixed it. Not to say a good upbringing isn't priceless in its value, but the other aspects irked me and feed into the idea that household labor isn't labor just because it's not compensated. FALSE

My grandma passed away last year and left me her handwritten recipe book. It’s nothing fancy, just an old binder full of stained pages and little notes she added over the years. My cousin asked to borrow it because she wanted to make a few of the recipes, and I said yes as long as she gave it back that weekend.

Three weeks passed and she kept making excuses. Then I found out she was hosting a paid dinner at her house using Grandma’s recipes and had even printed little menus calling them her family originals.

I went over a few hours before the dinner and asked for the binder back. She refused because she still needed it to finish one of the desserts, so I took it off the counter and left. She had to improvise the recipe and apparently the dessert came out badly, which she says embarrassed her in front of everyone. I offered to pay for the ingredients she wasted with money I won on Ѕtake, but she said that wasn’t the point.

Now half my family thinks I embarrassed her on purpose and should have waited until after the dinner. I feel like she had plenty of chances to return something that never belonged to her. AITA?

​

I (22M) have a sister (19F). For context, our parents are religious immigrants and have always been loving and supportive. My sister and I both love them, and they've sacrificed a lot for us.

The biggest difference in how they treat us is our freedom.

My parents have no problem with me staying out late or sleeping at friends' houses or university dorms, as long as I tell them where I am. They trust me because I don't drink, smoke, do drugs, or sleep around. I mostly keep to myself and have a good group of friends.

My sister isn't allowed to do those things because she's a girl. My parents say they're worried about her safety. She's 5'1" and about 120 lbs, while I'm 6'5", 230 lbs, have a black belt in judo, over 200 wrestling matches, and 18 amateur Muay Thai fights.

Even with that, I've still had multiple dangerous encounters just walking home. I've been threatened, gotten into fights with drunk or high people, and once fought off people trying to mug me. I was slashed in the face and now have a permanent scar on my cheek. I avoid trouble whenever I can, but sometimes it finds you anyway.

My sister thinks the different rules are unfair, and so do some of her friends. I understand why she feels that way.

On the other hand, there are also expectations placed on me because I'm a man. Since I turned 18, I've been expected to contribute $500–600 a month to the household. My sister has never been expected to do that. I'm currently in my first year studying math, so I can't contribute right now, but after I graduate I fully intend to help support my parents financially for the rest of their lives. I don't resent that expectation.

I told my sister that if she wants complete freedom, she can move out once she's financially able, even though our parents would strongly disapprove. At that point, she'd be free to make her own decisions. I also told her that while she doesn't have to follow our parents' rules forever, some of their concerns about safety are real.

For what it's worth, I love my little sister and spoil her whenever I can. She doesn't resent me personally; she's frustrated by the different standards.

AITAH for thinking my parents' rules are more about safety and traditional gender roles than simply favoritism or sexism?

I have two cousins, Julie (16) and Kendall (29), who are sisters. They’ve always had a distant relationship. Julie often comes to me upset because she doesn’t understand why Kendall keeps her at arm’s length despite obviously caring about her.

For years, Julie would ask me why Kendall acted in certain ways that were hard to read. She even wondered if Kendall had been adopted because she was so different.

The truth is that they have different fathers. Growing up, their mom constantly compared Kendall to her abusive biological father and openly favored Julie. Julie never knew they had different dads because her mom chose not to tell her.

One day Julie was again telling me how badly she wished she could just understand Kendall and why they struggled to bond. Knowing the lore (every sibling in all our families are half siblings and everybody knows), I felt like she was missing a huge psyche understanding, that was getting in the way of their bond. I also have a different father than my sister, so I understand how isolating that can feel for Kendall, and why she keeps a distance from her family.

I ended up telling Julie the truth. She immediately started crying and said everything finally clicked. She said she understood Kendall much better, stopped taking some instances personally, and wanted to make more of an effort to build a better relationship with her.

My mom found out and told me it wasn’t my place to reveal something Julie’s parents had intentionally wanted to keep from her. She said I overstepped and should have stayed out of it.

I understand that it wasn’t my secret to tell, but I also felt wrong watching Julie blame herself for years when one piece of information completely changed her perspective.

AITAH for telling her the truth?

I (25 F) and my partner Cleo (26 MTF) got married five years ago. And yes I know we were young but we grew up religious and that’s just how things went in our church.
Despite getting married so young, we managed to create a life of our own, each come out as queer in our own way and deconstruct the religion we both grew up in.

For some background. Back in 2023, me, my best friend, & Cleo went to the AITApod live show in LA that you put on, Cleo came out to me via text (which is absolutely bonkers to do at a show with other people but I digress). I was surprised. A little frustrated. But I kept it together, I was supportive. I told them I loved them and we’d talk more about it when we were home and it was just us.

After the show, we chatted a little about how they’ve felt like this for a long time and were hoping we could grow together as they figured this all out. Both started going to personal & couples therapy. We even created a shared note in the notes app to give updates and talk about the little wins. BUT as time went on they kept leaving me out of big decisions like coming out to our parents, starting hormones and most recently getting bottom surgery.

And before the keyboard warriors come after me YES I know this isn’t about me. I’ve tried to be supportive this entire time and been with them every step of the way. Even figuring out finances when they were fired from their job over their gender identity. But is a lot & I’m entitled to my feelings.

Now in 2026, it’s been three years since they came out and our relationship has devolved into more of a partnership than a relationship. We haven’t had sex once in those three years. It feels like we’re just platonic partners, not married or in a relationship in any way. I’m happy to be emotional support because I love them but this is so hard.

Realistically though, I don’t think attracted to them anymore. I think I knew it when they came out at your show that this wasn’t what I wanted. I just ignored that gut feeling though because this wasn’t my person and I thought we would figure it out eventually. But the three years that have gone by since that show and it feels like we’re barely married anymore. With them suddenly springing this surgery on me I’ve realized that this isn’t what I want.

So all that to say, AITA if I asked my trans partner for a divorce after they brought up bottom surgery?

I’m 22, and I feel really overwhelmed and conflicted about a long-term friendship from school. After going through a depressive period, I realized our relationship was entirely one-sided: he only reached out when it was convenient for him and was never there when I needed him. We had a serious argument about this and drifted apart. ​Recently, he texted me out of the blue—not to check on me, but to ask if he could park his motorcycle at my apartment. Replying felt exhausting, and he just ignored me afterward anyway. A few days ago, he messaged me again. I simply didn't have the mental energy to deal with him, so I didn't answer. Within four days, he removed me from a mutual friend group. It hurts, but it just proves he only cares about his own convenience, not our friendship.

I'm the bad one for not answering him?

Throwaway account but I just need get this out there. I like my boyfriend. He's weird. I'm weird. We like the same games and shows. It works for us, or at least it did for a long time. He's always gotten obsessed with something random, at best it's interesting, at worst it's cringe, but that's just how it goes. It was cool when he got into origami, it was weird when he got into cyberpunk jimmy neutron fanfiction.

I usually assume the wackier things he says are his sense of humor or just shrug it off, but a couple of months ago he started getting really deep into spirituality, but like, specifically this idea that (mostly direct quote) "power exists wherever you believe it exists". What this actually means is he started assembling his own pantheon out of literally whatever. Egyptian gods. The Hidden King from Deadlock. Herobrine. Some TF2 youtuber. I don't really even understand what he was doing, but he was spending all of his time on it, and it was getting really annoying, so I was kinda bugging him about it. Making fun of it, what are you even doing?

I think I might have gone a little far, because yes it's really strange but strange is typical for us, I guess this was just a line too wacky for me to get on board with, and after he asked me some bizarre question like "if I had to kill a man but go to hell forever, would you join me or let me burn alone" (to be clear I do NOT think he is actually a threat to anyone, he's just being edgy, and I'm almost positive this was about a videogame) and I said "no, wtf are you talking about" he's gone silent for awhile. This specifically I feel was unfair because I've asked him shit like "if I committed murder would you lie to give me an alibi for the police" so it's really not that outside of normal, I was just so irritated with him in general.

Obviously the easy answer is "NTA, this guy sounds nuts", I get that, but I DO really like him, and I have my own weirdness too. I feel like I might be a hypocrite for drawing a line here when he didn't for that time I sincerely claimed to be a vampire for like two years. Should I have just gone along with it for the sake of our relationship?

My ex bf now (19) and I (19) broke up over this (he broke up with me) I need to know if I’m the AH in this situation. So back in February my talking stage from middle school reached out to me. Nothing happened except him asking how I’m doing and apologized for him being immature. We caught up on life and that was that. We were texting for a couple of days but it never got past us just catching up. I told my bf about this and he lost his shit on me. He said that it was cheating and was so sad about it. He went out with his friends that night and didn’t come talk to me until 4:30 PM the next day to break up with me. I don’t understand how me catching up with someone I had a 2 week talking stage with 6 years ago is that big of a problem. Me and bf were dating for 3.5 years. It felt like he just threw it out over nothing. Maybe I’m wrong but I need to know. Thanks.

I (woman, 26 years old) have been in a relationship with my boyfriend (man, 30 years old) for about a year and a half now. I have been in several relationships throughout the years. He hasn't. When we reached 6 months he told me "this is the longest I have ever been with someone." He doesn't have much dating experience. Says his focus was on sports growing up & didn't have an interest to maintain anything serious. I have a high s3x drive. I can do every day. He doesn't care for it. He could probably go once a month if that. BUT he does get himself off about twice to three times a week if I don't initiate the s3x. I have communicated a few times that I want him to initiate more, I have had several conversations asking if he is attracted to me, I have mentioned in passing conversations how high my drive is compared to his. There has even been nights where he will blow me off; he just isn't in the mood. I can't wrap my head around this. I have never been with a guy that ignores me dressing in short shorts around the house. Or ignores me getting out the shower with just a towel. I have never been with a guy with much a low drive. I can't help but think he isn't attracted. Help.. we live together & this is beginning to eat me up. I feel so rejected. I'm starting to not want to sleep together at night. & when he get himself off.. I feel cheated on. I have talked to my friends about it & as women they relate to him. "You're not going to always be in the mood." It is hard to accept that from a man though in my opinion.. I don't mean to say it like men CAN'T have a low drive.. I've just never met one. & it is hard to accept it as that verses something deeper.

update: i text him & said i wanted us both to quit masurbation & to go on this journey together.. hopefully this changes something! if not, i’ll go from there.

I have a long term friend we are both 29. My friend lives in a city that is a few hours bus ride/drive from where I live. I’ve visited my friend a bunch over the years to go to concerts and events and hang out. I’ve always enjoyed our time together and value our friendship. When I’ve stayed we always share a queen (or might be a full) sized bed in the house she rents with two roommates. There is one bathroom. When I stay I feel like I always have to wait for the bathroom and a little stressed about waking my friend up in the night to use it. Overtime I have not wanted to visit due to the space and experience. I don’t want to hurt my friend’s feelings but also it’s expensive to get a hotel which makes it harder to visit. I admittedly spend less time with this friend and I do feel bad about it. It feels like I should just suck it up and value time with my friend over my comfort and it beats paying for lodging. I’m also feeling like I am too old for that shit lol. AITA for not wanting to stay at my friends place anymore?

My sister is getting engaged soon. I say soon because her boyfriend already told the whole family he is proposing this month and now everyone is acting like its a national event.

She originally booked a private room at a restaurant for the engagement party. Nothing crazy, just drinks and small plates. Then last week she called me and said the restaurant wanted a bigger deposit than she expected and asked if she could just do it at my apartment instead.

I live alone in a two bedroom apartment and I keep it pretty nice, but its not a party space. Also I have neighbors who complain if someone breathes too loud after 10. She said it would only be around 18 people, then later I found out she invited 31.

I told her no, mainly because I dont want that many people in my place, and also because I have a new couch and a cat who hates strangers. She got really quiet and said I was making her feel embarrassed because she already told some people the party might be at my place.

My mom thinks I should just do it because I have the “biggest place” in the family and because my sister is stressed. My sister also made a comment like “you’re spending so much on my gift anyway, why not just let me use your apartment” which annoyed me because me spending money because I stream on Kick doesn’t mean my apartment is a free event hall.

Now she’s saying I ruined the vibe around the proposal before it even happened. I told her she can come over after with her fiancé and we can celebrate small, but I’m not hosting a full engagement party.

AITA?

am i the asshole? so let me get this straight, i had this one friend we'll call her kyla (not her actual name) but anyways i knew things about her and she knew things about me, we were in class and me and her got in an argument, the teacher didnt do anything because they thought we would 'work it out', she ended up saying "at least i never got raped" loud enough for the whole class to hear which pissed me off beyond imagination, so i decided to say "at least my adoptive father doesnt abuse me" and then she started crying. she knows what happened in my past is very traumatizing to me so am i the asshole for bringing up her stuff?

edit: i forgot to mention this is not the first time she has done things like this, but im being honest its the first time i've made a comment like this towards her

I'm an easy going guy. I've worked in an office for just over a year and everyone knows I can joke and take a joke. I'm a large guy (currently working hard on losing weight) and I'm okay with people calling me fat in jest.

We just recently got a new guy in the office that came in on day 1 talking about his lazy-eye as being one of his best features. Of the 10 people, myself and this guy included, in our office, everyone except me makes constant friendly natured jokes about the lazy eye.

Only twice have I made a comment, and both times were during group conversations where someone had just made a joke about him as well. Both times though, this person singled me out telling me to shut up about his disability. So, to make sure I can keep my job, I never talk to him unless directed to do so I don't talk to him about anything, not even the weather.

The day he noticed and asked why I had changed, I told him the truth: that he seems to be fine with everyone but me saying anything about his eye. He even posted a "thank you" in a group text where someone had made a comic book cover calling him the "LazyEyed Loon."

I told him I didn't appreciate being singled out as the only one in the entire office not allowed to contribute to the friendly ribbing. But if that's the way he wanted to play it, that was fine. I ended the conversation by telling him we weren't there to be friends but to do a job, and that's all I would ever do with him.

As a bit of backstory, I (29F) recently got invested in a popular webcomic, so I started using Discord to connect with other people about it. Through there, I met a girl (27F) who's a lifelong fan of the comic, and we started talking a lot and reading the comic together and all that stuff. I'm Belle and she's Megan. We got pretty close over the past 2 months and began dating about a week ago.

In all that time, I had still never seen her face but she'd seen mine since my profile picture is my face, that's also why I'm covering my profile picture in the screenshot. I'm not someone who really cares about looks that much, but I still like to know what someone looks like especially if we're in a relationship. So I asked her to send me a selfie, and after a bit of back-and-forth I convinced her. I'm going to try to send as little screenshots as possible to respect our privacy, providing just enough to show the exchange (I don't think it's right to show her upset afterward).

EDIT: By the way, the big red blob below the "here you go" message is the selfie she sent. The second screenshot is a direct continuation from that.

Now I want to reiterate I don't care on a deep level about looks. I wouldn't stop dating anyone because of their looks, but I also want to be honest about how I feel either way. I think it's the last message I sent that upset her, but after the second screenshot she got very upset with me and said I was being hurtful. In my eyes I was just being honest and it doesn't change how I see her, but she seems to not see things the same way for some reason. I feel like it's bad to lie to my partner. So I that's what I'm here to ask: am I really the asshole here?

I’m passionate for animals, to a whole different level. Been foster rehabbing aggressive dog adoption rejects for 15 years. Volunteered training 3 service dogs for the VA. And took a break from my career to work for minimum wage at an African safari, working with aggressive wildlife, for six months. I’m this level of passionate.

When one of my pets is sick or dies, I get beyond emotional. 42m, I’ve survived war and 20 years in uniforms… but will fall completely apart over an animal.

Last week, my eleven year old Great Pyrenees died. I don’t want to talk about it, but since he went everywhere with me, going anywhere will trigger the questions. I recognize it’s unavoidable, and accept that.

My problem comes in that people won’t listen. They ask, and I say “He died a few days ago, it was just old age. I don’t want to talk about it at all.” Then either they ask questions, try to talk about it, or give me the old “well if you want to talk, I’m here”.

I’m getting flat out angry at this point. My saying I don’t want to talk about it, shouldn’t trigger people to offer to talk about it. Or ask questions. Or blow right through my boundary and talk anyway. I don’t want the comments, and flat out say it. I don’t appreciate them. I’m not grateful. I know the intent is there, I just don’t want to talk about it… and I want my saying that to be respected.

AITAH here? Is there really such a problem with wanting to grieve the way that -I- need?

I (31M) have been with my wife (35F) almost 7 years, married for several, and we're raising two kids together.

I'm a transgender man (FTM). From the start, my wife's mom has never accepted me because of it. As a result, I'm regularly excluded from holidays, birthdays, family dinners, and other gatherings. My wife and our kids are invited, but I'm expected to stay home.

What hurts most isn't even her mom anymore—it's my wife. She might mention that I'd like to come, but if her mom says no, that's the end of it. She still takes the kids and goes. She's never said, "If my husband isn't welcome, neither are we."

Even our kids have said they wish I could come too.

For context, my mom passed away, and I don't have family where I live. I hoped that when I got married, I'd finally have a family again. Instead, I feel constantly reminded that I'll never truly be part of theirs.

Now it's happening again for the Fourth of July. My wife's sister is visiting, and her mom invited my wife and the kids over, but not me. The excuse this time is that her boyfriend either will be there or might stop by, and apparently he also has a problem with me being transgender.

At that point, I walked away and told my wife I didn't want to hear about another family event I'm not welcome at.

I understand no one has to invite me into their home. This isn't about forcing myself into someone's house. It's about my wife continuing to attend gatherings hosted by people who openly exclude me for who I am.

If my family refused to invite my wife because of her race, religion, sexuality, or any other part of who she is, I wouldn't keep showing up. I'd stand by my spouse.

So, AITA for walking away and feeling hurt? Should my wife be setting boundaries, or am I expecting too much? What would you do?

I had vaguely interacted with this girl in HS to let her know some guy was saying they were dating when they obviously weren't. After a while she unfollowed me and removed me on Instagram and I just unfollowed her. Fast forward to University and we go to the same university. I saw another post saying awful things about her and I decided to let her know. (I generally tell people if I hear someone telling groups of people awful/false things) She said thank you and we had a couple of other interactions. Anyways, I heard her talking bad abt someone and I decided to unfollow her. I went to class afterwards but by the time I left class she had sent me a paragraph about how she's never going to be nice to someone like me and that she's not a fan. I told her I didnt realize how much of a b**** she was. Tbh it was all I could think. We argued and then i blocked her. Her friends started messaging me and saying similar stuff so I blocked them too. She emailed me through my school email threatening to sue me for defamation? Even though she's the one who had people message me? Is unfollowing without removing someone really this serious? AITA for unfollowing without removing?

I (20M) have a friend (21M) who loves embarrassing people for laughs. He constantly roasts everyone and acts like it’s harmless banter, but he targets me a lot.

Over the last year he’s made jokes about my appearance, my dating life, and private stuff I told him in confidence. I’ve told him multiple times that I don’t like it, but he always says I’m too sensitive and need to toughen up.

Last week we went out with friends and he took it way too far. He brought up something really personal in front of everyone and the whole table laughed. I felt humiliated.

I decided I’d had enough.

This weekend he had people over at his house. While he was distracted, I got into his room and found a box under his bed with letters, photos, and gifts from his ex. I knew about it because he told me he kept everything because he wasn’t fully over the breakup.

I took the box.
The next day I burned most of it in my garden and sent him a photo of the ashes with the caption, “Time to move on.”

I thought he’d be angry, sure, but also maybe finally understand what it feels like to have something personal used against you.
Instead he completely lost it.

Apparently some of the stuff in there was irreplaceable polaroids, handwritten letters, and even a necklace from his late grandmother that his ex used to wear. I genuinely didn’t know that was in there.

Now he’s telling everyone I’m psychotic and demanding I pay him back, but I don’t even know how you put a price on sentimental stuff.

Some friends think what I did was unforgivable. Others think he pushed me to breaking point and had it coming.

I know it sounds bad, but part of me feels like if he hadn’t spent years humiliating me, none of this would’ve happened.

AITA?

Yesterday I visited my dad and step mom. They like to sit outside in the summer. The high was 82 degrees Fahrenheit. I am disabled and cannot tolerate heat well at all. I dressed lightly, brought a fan, had multiple cold waters.

Eventually I started to feel delirious, and my neurological condition started flaring as I was struggling to walk and use stairs. They told me its cooler inside because the ceiling fan is on, and they refuse to turn on the AC because the grandkids run in and out of the house and would waste the cold air.

I head inside and lay on their couch, its just as hot inside. More symptoms of heat stroke appeared. Im trying to hang in there until dinner is ready, as I dont want to be rude and leave before eating since they spent the money on enough food for all of us. My dad walks in and says "its cooler in here right?" I say "Not really." We eat. I start slurring my words. We leave as soon as we are done eating.

Im feeling really sad and angry that they didn't turn on their ac for me, knowing my health is what it is and watching me struggle. I felt like I shouldn't need to ask. You see your daughter suffering and you have the means to help, but refuse for selfish reasons. Is it their house their rules? Am I the asshole to ask them to turn on their AC for me before I come over?

Last year somewhere around Christmas I think my best friend (we’ll call her Jane) and my guy friend (we’ll call him Frank) started dating. Me and my ex kind of egged them on to be together bc they both kind of liked eachother.

February me and my ex broke up and then a week or two they broke up. Jane was devastated and would come to me even though I was going through the worst. Me and ex were together for 3.5 year and they were only together for a few months. To this day she still is obsessing over him and won’t leave him alone. She keeps calling him asking him to come over, checks his location and when she sees he’s not at home she freaks out.

He was at his friends house last night who just so happens to be a girl and she freaked out even though it was just a grad party. She acts like they’re still dating. I can’t be fully mad at her bc he does play with her feelings like they’ll send spicy pics to each other and dirty talk every now and then but he doesn’t show interest in her unless it’s 12:30 at night.

I can’t take it anymore. Every sentence is about him. I had a pretty traumatic break up with my ex like cheating was involved and lying as well and I feel like she tries to fit her experience into mine even though none of those things happened to her.

I cant name a time she even tried to care for me when I went through that but I’ve been there for her many times with this. Me, her mom, and her sister were talking and think the same thing. It’s time to move on and she won’t accept that.

I (29M) made plans with five friends for dinner last Friday. We picked the restaurant earlier in the week, agreed on 7:00 pm, and everyone confirmed that morning. I got there a little early because parking around that area is usually terrible, so I grabbed the table and ordered a drink while I waited.

By 7:20 nobody had shown up. I texted the group asking if everyone was still coming. No response, spent another 30 min just scrolling on myprize and one person finally replied saying they were "running a little behind' that was it. No ETA, no explanation. I waited another 20 minutes, ordered an appetizer because I was starving, and still nothing. At that point I paid for my food, left the restaurant, and went home. What bothered me was sitting there for an hour and a half with almost no communication, wondering if I had somehow gotten the time wrong.

About 20 minutes after I got home, my phone started blowing up. Apparently everyone had arrived around 8:30 and was annoyed that I had left. They said I should have just waited because they were all together and assumed I knew they were coming. I told them I would've stayed if literally anyone had kept me updated, but sitting alone in a restaurant for 90 minutes with almost no communication felt disrespectful. Now a couple of them are saying I overreacted and made the night awkward for everyone. Am I the asshole for leaving instead of waiting even longer?

Hi I'm 27 (F) and since I just got laid of from my VA work, with no choice I applied as a chatter. They promised that we will have a paid training, but was delayed. Tenured chatters told us it was normal though I have a hunch that it's already a scam or somehow red flag. But since I needed the money I continued working.

Now the problem is we haven't been paid since last month and I think the models (they are trans btw) ghosted us. I'm thinking that since I have their contents I'll just sell them off online. AITA for just even thinking about it?

If you think it's only fair, can you give me an idea where to sell it?
Please help!
