I saw the previous thread was locked and was panicked it suffered the same fate as the My 600lbs Life thread. Thank Satan for a new one.

My(20M) girlfriend(20F) is 'extremely heartbroken' because I said that I am not particularly fond of Hermione(Harry Potter character), but love Lady Galadriel(Lord of the Rings character). I told her that my favourite character is Lady Galadriel from Lord of the Rings. She is so wise and powerful. She was arrogant and proud, but calmed down over the years and humbled herself by the time the books ended. And why lie? I prefer the beautiful, radiant, otherworldly looks of Galadriel over the mundane looks of Hermione. Overall, I prefer an enigmatic queen character over an intelligent plain school girl character(which obviously a sort of self insert by the author) and my gf can't tolerate it. My girlfriend broke into tears, saying that Hermione was always a rock of strength for her(wtf?). She was bullied for her bushy hair and teeth as a child and the depiction of Hermione as a less good looking, but still worthy girl gave her confidence. According to her, by rejecting Hermione and 'mocking' her appearance, I rejected her(gf) and mocked her looks. What was I supposed to do? Was I supposed to change my favourite character because she started her water works? Actually why was a 20 year old woman wailing like someone died when I told her that I don't like her favourite character? Why was she upset that I liked a considerably more powerful, intelligent and beautiful character? Overall, this looks highly ridiculous to me. She spent the whole night crying because I don't like Hermione. I feel disgusted. Update: I can't tolerate this anymore. She is behaving exactly like my mother. I am wondering why and how did I fall for her in the first place. This looks so ridiculous that people won't even believe me if I tell them the reason. Thank you for all suggestions.

My (23f) fiancé's (23m) mother dislikes me on the basis that she doesn't believe I'm Italian. What do I do? For some background information: I was adopted as a baby, and have no contact with my birth parents. My mother was Japanese and my father was Irish. My (adoptive) parents are both Italian. Like, immigrant Italian--they speak with heavy accents and we speak a lot of Italian at home (I'm fully fluent and have a bit of an accent myself). I was raised Roman Catholic in a predominantly Italian area, and most of my friends growing up were Italian. My name is also a less common Italian name (think Giovanna, but not that). I have, in essence, lived the typical Italian-Canadian upbringing. I never thought twice about this until my fiancé proposed to me. My fiancé and I started dating at seventeen, and his mother has never liked me--she always acted cold and aloof, even passive-aggressive. She seemed to be a bit overbearing (to him), and I always assumed she was one of those mothers who's afraid of her son marrying off and leaving her--she's also a single mother with two other kids, both daughters. Recently, he proposed to me (yay!)--I ugly-cried with joy, and everything was great until we announced it to his family. As a family, we had a nice celebration, and nothing had gone wrong--but after the dinner was over, he got a slew of angry texts from his mother, calling me slurs (not even correct ones) and over-all insulting our relationship and our future children. The general gist of the messages were that she was upset over my "not being Italian," and she was also worried about prospective "half-breed" children who wouldn't be Italian. We were both beyond pissed, and he called his mom and told her off. She tried to make up with him a few days later, telling him that she has no problem with my being Japanese or Irish, even though she's always wanted him to be with a "nice Italian girl" (literally her words). Apparently, she just hates the fact that I "pretend" to be Italian by "faking" my accent, speaking Italian, taking part in Italian traditions, etc. One of my fiancé sisters is married to an Italian man who doesn't speak Italian and is nonreligious (not a problem to me AT ALL, it's just that his mother is hugely religious), yet she considers him to be more acceptable than me. She also says that I've offended her on a few occasions, because when people ask about my race (I get that a lot because I'm biracial), I state that I'm Italian. It's the culture I associate with the most, and I'd rather not detail my family history to every person who asks me what my race is. Also, I'll say things like, "I'm such an Italian stereotype" because I use a lot of expressive hand movements and the like, which she also finds offensive. I found this to be kind of funny, to be honest, because it's kind of absurd and a bit hypocritical because I've heard her make racist jokes on more than a few occasions (besides all the slurs she texted my husband about me). Neither of us responded to this because we were appalled as well as astounded she would even say that. Now, I've started wondering, is the above actually offensive of me? Is this just a ruse because she doesn't like my biological ethnicities? What can I even do? Can I explain this to her? TL;DR: Adopted by Italian parents, raised fully Italian. My birth parents are Japanese and Irish. My fiancé's mother believes I'm faking my Italian accent and other things, and finds this to be personally offensive. She also dislikes the fact that I refer to myself as Italian. Am I being insensitive? Is there a way I can explain this to her?

My non-citizen friend used a credit card that wasn’t his accidentally, is now in jail. Help??quote:Visiting friend from Australia rented a home for the holidays and used a credit card that was in the home thinking he could, as he was spending a significant amount of money to rent to home for the month.

That post says so much in so few words. "He has money, so he isn’t actually a fraudulent person" isn't really a great thread title for this thread, but somewhere there must be a thread where it fits perfectly. Sometimes an airbnb will leave you a sim card or a public transit pass for guest use and convenience. I'd love to hear the argument as to how a credit card is the same.

AITA for accidentally calling my child an 'only child'?quote:I am my husband's second wife, we married in 2004 after two years of dating. He was married to his first wife from 1990-1996 and had two children, a boy and girl, who were 5 and a half and 8 and a half when we met. From the start I loved those kids, especially his daughter, a talkative little thing with a heck of an imagination and this kind of infectious optimism. Her brother was harder to get to know but he was an almost nine year old boy more interested in skateboarding, videogames, and girls. But I played team sports with my job and we connected over that. Before long we all grew to love each other. odds on this lady treating the stepkid as second class for much more than this one occasion?

AITA for telling my girlfriend she’s an 8 or 9 in attractiveness when she asked?quote:My gf was getting ready the other night. She thought she looked bad, but I told her she looked fine. I looked over at myself in the mirror after checking her out. I asked her what she thought I was on a scale of 1 to 10. She laughed and said 12. She then asked what I thought she was. I told her she was probably an 8, maybe even a 9.

AITA for firing my housekeeper for not acknowledging her christmas bonus + new year raise?quote:I (4XF) have had a housekeeper come every couple weeks for about two years now. We pay her somewhere between $100 and $150 each visit to clean about 2400 sqft of house. The payment is in cash and is given to her in a envelope stuck to the fridge. Most of the time we don't see her because she comes when we are at work (she has a key). Most of our communications have been over SMS. Sometimes we can go a month without even texting each other.

My [31f] husband [32m] name calls at our son [1m] and threatened to divorce me for objecting.quote:Hello all. My husband "Simon" and I have been married for three years and have a son ""Carl" who just turned one. Last night, while I was finishing up dinner, I asked Simon to start feeding Carl. Carl began fussing in his highchair and throwing food on the floor. Simon responded by saying "you're being a brat". This isn't the first time Simon has made such a comment and we've fought about it before. I expressed that I didn't think it was appropriate or helpful to call a baby names. This time I very calmly said "Don't say that to him, I don't like it." Simon looked pissed and didn't say another word for the rest of dinner. He just let me serve him a beautiful meal, ate it without making a sound, and went upstairs. never change, reddit

People have their reasons for thinking that, but since Pick was red carded from the thread she can’t come in to explain or defend herself so it feels unfair to list out the grievances and harangue her in effigy. If you’re still reading through the old thread you might come across the posts that made people unhappy or offended anyway.
