My wife (34f) broke a promise to me (37m)quote:So I've been having problems with an off balance libido between my wife and I. I talked to her about it and she promised she would initiate sex once a week. Well it's been a few weeks in to the agreement and she has done well so far. But this week she missed it. I let her know three hours past the dead line for a week that her promise was being broken. She told me I was being petty, and that she was going to initiate later tonight, and that I wouldn't believe that she was actually planning to initiate, that I think she is lying, and then left crying. I'm just not sure how to take this. I feel like it's an excuse to get away and not actually do it tonight.

I would find him passed out drunk in a pool of Franzia at the kitchen table, on the floor in the bathroom in his own vomit, and once in the hallway outside our apartment. He'd get that shitfaced then get up and go to work (he was a busboy) and then come home and do it all over again. He was constantly complaining that his boss was so mean to him, but honestly I think she was the salt of the earth letting him come to work (often running 10-15 minutes late) probably still drunk so often and not firing him.

My daughter's father(35) is neglecting our daughter(6) to spend time with/keep his girlfriend(23) happy. How can I(36)talk to him about it without it becoming a fight?quote:I don't want to make him choose between them I just want him to spend as much with his daughter as he does with his girlfriend. He spends maybe an hour a week(that's rounding up) spending one on one with her. all his other time is spent at work or with his girlfriend. I want to talk to him about it because our daughter is starting to notice that she's not the most important person to her Daddy. It kills me to see the look of heartbreak on her face when I have to tell her that, "I'm sorry but Daddy busy with (girlfriend) and he can't play with you right now." How do I talk to him about it without it ending up as a massive fight?

My girlfriend (21F) and I (21M) want to get married, but parents don't agreequote:My girlfriend and I have been dating for a while and were thinking of getting married before I go to medical school. However when my girlfriend brings up the idea to her mother, her mom shuts it down. "he needs to come up with a plan financially." "How will he make money?" "What do his parents think?" I feel like I'm being attacked, especially since if I go to medical school, I can't make money until residency. I don't know what to do. My girlfriend and I rather not wait any longer.

One of the most WTF coworkers I ever had was a mom with a 6 year old. She lived with her husband, all good. He had a daughter from a previous marriage who lived with them. All good. His ex wife and her girlfriend (she came out as lesbian because bisexuals don't exist) also lived with them.

Now if I actually believe that story is a whole other story. The answer is no, no I don't. But since I don't make a living wage and my mother doesn't have the room for us(I've made it no secret that if I move out the kid is coming with me.)

I like that post, and agree with everything said in it by everyone. 21 isn't 'too' young to get married depending on the couple, and part of getting married is sharing your life together, that includes the struggles and growth, as compared to being a 'finished' person who has a house and says aloud "Right! Having completed everything, I may now engage in fidelity." As if humans are baked pies, not to be shared before the over timer is done. He's right that the mother is attacking him directly, and she's right in that he has no income, no stability, is a dependent, and his brain isn't finished baking yet (takes about till ~25 it turns out). But her generation (people born before 1970) where probably able to DO those things before marriage, ie have a career w/o a seven year post-secondary education, be stable and have assets in your early 20's, etc. Those who didn't could be looked down upon safely, perhaps. But we live in different times. I recall reading about Jews in concentration camps, making space for two youngsters to have a moment of privacy behind a curtain in the middle of a workshop during the day shift. Other people getting married while the city they're in is undergoing shelling. Life goes on, and we currently live in a hellhole of our own making, so I wouldn't begrudge kids who want to get married and start their lives together, instead of being told there's a 7+ year wait. Now, after having typed all of that, it gonna turn out they're both young idiots who don't even have their drivers licenses and have never worked a day in their lives, but hey, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here. edit: gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress of course they are

WIBTA if I told my friend his deceased ex wanted to dump him? I judge on here often so I figured I’d put my sticky situation on here: I (25M) have a good friend, Mason, (26M). I was his roommate in college. He met this girl, Kelly, during our freshman year and they began dating. Being Mason’s roommate and friend, I became close with Kelly too. They stayed together throughout all 4 years of college and continued dating after graduation. Super cute couple. Was proud of them in a weird way. After graduation, we all got jobs in the same city and lived near each other. One day, Kelly (22 at the time), confided in me and basically said that while she liked Mason a lot, she was less happy than before, and wasn’t sure if she should be tied down so young. Kelly talked through her feelings with me, and concluded that she was going to break up with Mason. Meanwhile, Mason told me a week prior that he’s never been happier and was even thinking of proposing. I told Kelly this during our chat and she made her decision with this in mind. I sat around fearing the pending fallout between my two close friends when I received horrible news. As you saw coming from the title of this post, Kelly never got the chance to tell Mason how she felt. She died in a car accident the same day she told me her decision to dump Mason. Mason grieved, and grieved hard. I never told him about me and Kelly’s convo. Two years later and after lots of therapy and such, he’s much better, though far from perfect. Nowadays, Mason tells me that he’s discovered that love is the most important thing to him in life and that he aspires to marry. He tried dating over the past half year, but always ends up saying that “I’m confident that no girl will ever love me the same way Kelly did. This is pointless.” At this point, he’s pretty much given up on dating and is becoming more depressed. By now I think you can sense my dilemma: should I tell Mason about Kelly and I’s conversation? Maybe it’ll help him realize he can find a better match for himself and that his views on his old relationship are romanticized and not good for his future. On the other hand, I’m not sure if it will make much of a difference other than me breaking his heart even further and harming his grieving process. Maybe it would be better off to just let him continue the hard work he’s put in to heal so far and let him continue his healing without my interference. I’m also not sure what it will do to our friendship: I’ve sat on this info for a long rear end time now. WIBTA if I told him??? Edit: just for clarity due to some comments, it’s not like dropping this would be the first thing I tried to help him. I’ve encouraged he talks to his therapist about comparing other girls to Kelly, he’s talked to me about it, I’ve been a general comforting friend through this all, etc.

AITA for getting my husband kicked out of the delivery room? Hello everyone, This is my first time using this platform, I'm sorry for any 'rules' broken or any mistakes made. A friend of mine showed me this website recently, and since then I have been considering this post. My husband and I (married for 3 years, together for 7) had our first child 3 weeks ago. She is perfect, and everything I could ever wish for, even if she is a handful. However, unfortunately, her birth was ... complicated. I have always been a private person, and very terrified of pregnancy due to the (admittedly low, but to me nonetheless scary) risks associated. My husband knows this, and I specifically asked him, when we found out about this pregnancy, that he tried to help me lower my stress levels, since the pregnancy itself would already be causing me significant stress. He succeeded at this during almost all of my pregnancy. He was always very calm, even when he had a bad work day and was upset. He put up with me when I cried over silly things like wanting one specific brand of food that was sold out, he made sure I was comfortable at home and rarely had to go out when I was too big to do so comfortably. We agreed on from the start that he would be the only person in the delivery room with me. No parents, no family, no friends, just us and the medical staff. However, on the day I was admitted to the hospital, his mother (who is usually a very, very nice lady, just has her moments) cried to him that it was unfair she would not witness the birth of this grandchild. (My husband has an older sister with two kids, and she was in the delivery room for both of them). My husband tried to get me to agree to having her in the delivery room. I said no, and figured that would be the end of it. After a long, exhausting, painful labor, when my doctor announced my daughter was crowning, I saw the door open and my mother in law come in. No medical staff got up to stop her. My husband was next to me and I clung to his arm and told him to get her out. He tried to argue with me that she should be allowed to see the birth of her grandchild. I started panicking HARD, like I said, I am a private person and did not want my MIL staring into my lady bits while I was so vulnerable and exposed. I kept saying to my husband, "take her outside, please, get her out of here, please, please" but he would not budge. A nurse finally noticed how much I was panicking and stressing and immediately shooed everyone expect me and the staff out of the room. This included my husband. My daughter was born soon after, but because of the MIL situation, he did not get to witness the birth. He was very upset at me during the hospital stay, saying I didn't allow him to see his child be born. I feel awfully guilty because I did want my husband in there, but he should not have let his mother in. It's been almost 3 weeks since we have been back home, and he still acts coldly towards me sometimes. Am I the rear end in a top hat?

I know we had this one in the last thread, but it never fails to make me smile. TIFU by wearing a shawl, which ruined my relationship with my GF quote:Minor background: I am a pretty affectionate, and at times, effeminate, dude. I'm 6'2 and have a pretty "tough-guy" background in that I was in special forces a while ago, and my roommates all served as well, but I also have thin wrists and sit on my friends' laps and blow kisses to them and poo poo. I'm not gay, I just am me.

AITA for still bringing up an old grudge against my in-laws after more than a decade? My MIL is big on family tradition and has professional family portraits taken every holiday season. This year's photos just came back and my MIL was sharing the album at a birthday party this weekend with extended family and friends. The discussion came around to my wife and I and how long we've been together and someone noticed I wasn't in photos that I should have been and asked about it and my MIL went silent. See, I wasn't included in these portraits for a number of years because "only family" could be in the photos. Since my wife and i were "only dating", they felt I shouldn't be in the portraits because it "probably wouldn't work out." My wife and I met in college and dated thru school and had a relatively long engagement as we got on our feet so we were together almost 7 years before our wedding. Despite all our time together, and my wife begging each year, my MIL and SILs insisted that I shouldn't be in the portraits until we said our vows, even the loving year before our wedding despite the date set and save-the-dates sent. And honestly, it always hurt and was like a yearly reminder that I wasn't truly "family" to them. The real kicker to me though is that my MIL and SILs were all married and since divorced in that time, one of my SIL twice! So all these photos that I wasn't worthy to be part of include men that are not only not a part of the family anymore, but 2 were really assholes and all three of my SILs marriages were short-lived relationships and ended in messy divorces on really bad terms. But me, who is still here and the other half of the only long lasting and successful relationship of my wife's immediate family, was not included in this tradition for nearly a decade. So anyway, I started laughing when the question came up and went over the story and pointed out how all these jerks are in the photos but I wasn't allowed. And I apparently took a bit of joy in the fact that since my MIL and SILs pretty much hate those men now, the portraits are kind of useless and stay locked in a cabinet all year because of it. (It used to practically be a coffee table book) Well, my MIL started crying, my SILs were offended at my portrayals of their marriages, and everyone else who didn't see the humor was pretty much upset at me for calling them out for their unfair practices. I felt like I acted fairly at the time by just pointing out how the tradition backfired but my wife mentioned that I still get pissy each year over the photos and always have something snarky to say and it's long past time I let it go. Maybe she's right, she usually is, but I can't tell you how irked I get every time that drat album comes out. So, AITA?
