AITA for saying ‘ I told you so’ when my cat bit somebody?

So I have a small ginger cat named Betty, who basically is a weird cat. She likes being around people but hates being picked up /stroked for too long, really any kind of too much touching. She’s always been like this, she’s not in pain or anything like that she’s just generally an rear end in a top hat cat that I love.

She’s used to me but I still get bitten if I try to pick her up or touch against her terms so I usually let her do everything at her own pace.

So on why I might be an rear end in a top hat. I warn literally every single person that comes round, to be wary don’t pick up, all that lot. But every seems to think I’m making it up because Betty will come and sit on them, and they take that as her liking them. She likes to sit on laps but doesn’t like a lot of stroking, which is what I tell them. But no one ever listens then they always get hurt.

So one of my brothers friends comes round, I give him the usual warning. He goes to pick Betty up, she basically shreds his arm. I go to clear it up and get plasters, apologise but I do say in a half jokey but also annoyed way that I did tell him not to touch her. My brother says I’m an rear end in a top hat and it’s not his friends fault my cat ripped his arm up. They both leave and I can hear them muttering past my window calling me crazy. See I kind of think it is his fault for disregarding me telling him not to touch her. I personally wouldn’t go and touch an animal I’d been warned about.

AITA?

Just realised what cat tax was - here’s both of my cats Betty (ginger cat 14years) and Tinks (tabby rescue 14)
https://imgur.com/a/uehXES9

Just gonna do a last update: the boys were only in my house all of 5 mins as my brother was just getting his jacket, Betty was eating and hadn’t even really noticed the guy and pretty much a minute after my warning just picked her up. I think this is why he got double attacked.

Usually she will be taken outside if people aren’t comfortable with her or suffer from allergies/kids, or if she’s on their lap and either person/Betty starts to feel uncomfortable.

Why thankyew!


My (23f) mother's (50sf) vicious, spoiled dog attacked my brother (15m)to the point of rendering his fingers numb and possibly requiring surgery, did not take him to the doctor, and refuses to acknowledge the dog's responsibility in any of this.

quote:

My mother has a dog, "Fido" who she is deeply attached to and spoils to death. He eats three home cooked meals per day that include grain, meat, vegetables, and dressing (I really wish I were exaggerating; friends have glimpsed his meals before and asked excitedly if that's what she's making us for dinner). On a recent trip, she convinced her husband to drive to their destination (all the way across america, one end to the other) instead of flying because she wanted him to come with (he has health problems and she doesn't trust anyone else to take care of him) but was worried he would be traumatized by being stowed in cargo on an airplane. She devotes everything she can muster to this dog, and without a doubt spends more time caring for him than she does my teenage brother, who lives with her. We once jokingly asked her if she would choose my brother's life, or the dog's, and honest to God, she hesitated (which really hurt my brother's feelings) and ultimately did not answer the question.

I love my mom a lot and our relationship is good now, but she really struggles with teenagers. It is a really difficult time to be her kid. She becomes incredibly sensitive and aggressive, her expectations soar beyond the realm of reason, and she becomes really bizarrely hateful towards her own children whom she once smothered with love. When I became an independent adult, it was like a switch flipped and she returned to the loving character I had always known (she still refers to that period as my "bad streak" as if it were all my fault). My little brother is entering the age of our mother's wrath: things seem to escalate between them with every month that passes, and a few weeks ago he called me in tears asking if our mom hated him. My fifteen year old, lacrosse playing, jock brother, crying because he thought his mom hated him. It broke my heart.

These two features of my mom come together with the fact that her dog is not just spoiled as hell, but also vicious, especially towards people towards whom she harbors ill will, including her children. The mere mention of my name used to drive her dog into a snarling, barking frenzy; my brother's name now illicits the same reaction. Both my brother and I have been bitten by the dog to the point of bleeding more times than I can count. Once my brother was asleep with his hand hanging off the side of the bed, and the dog went into my brother's room and tore into his hand to the point of bleeding. The dog has also bitten her husband and people working in their home. While the dog is yelled at for these offenses, she ultimately places blame on us for "antagonizing" the dog and says that it is a reflection of his built up frustration towards us. To my mom's credit, both of us did antagonize the dog at times, but I will counter this by saying that our pent up frustration with her favoritism led to these antagonizing behaviors. My brother really does not antagonize the dog anymore (nor do I), but my mom now considers walking past the dog to be "antagonizing" him. My brother is expected to stay out of the dog's way, which is more than a little challenging given that the dog guards his bedroom door looking for an opportunity to attack him. I really think that a lot of this is driven by my mom's perpetual anger towards my brother. When her switch flipped towards me, so did the dog's, and he is now always happy to see me and even comes to cuddle. The dog didn't have major problems with my brother until she began to hone in on him, either.

Things really came to a head last week when Fido attacked my brother's hand (again, different than the sleeping occasion). I am away right now, so I have not personally seen the bite, but my brother reported to me at the time that his pinky and ring finger were numb. Of course, the whole thing was my brother's "fault" and my mom didn't take him to a doctor. When he returned home a week later, he went to stay at our dad's house (parents are divorced) and the moment my dad saw the bite (fingers still numb, by the by), he took my brother straight to the emergency room. Here it was revealed that dog's teeth had reached the tendon and the bite was infected. My brother was given an IV administering antibiotics, has both fingers in splints, and has an appointment with a hand specialist booked for Monday. He may require surgery if the infection has reached the tendon. The doctor told them that had my brother not been taken to a doctor that day, his fingers could have been numb for the rest of his life. When my mom received news that my brother was in the ER, she sent a picture of the dog smiling and a text saying, "Fido is happy that you are gone." to my brother.

I am really not sure what to do from here. I am pretty furious with my mom for not only letting this bad wound fester, but also for letting things get to this point. She blames us for antagonizing him, yet I have never met a dog in my life who is potentially dangerous to members of the household, no matter WHAT they do. I have tried talking to her before about the dog's behavior, and she always falls back on her "antagonizing behavior" excuse. I am honestly afraid to push the matter because it may very well spiral into one of those awful fights from my teenage years. Whenever we talk about it (or when I try to defend my brother to her), she lapses into this frigid, defensive version of herself that I am all too familiar with. In a way, I wonder if I should hold back because at this point, I may be the only voice of reason that she has a chance of listening to. She really, deeply hates our dad and although he sent her an email confronting her about the situation, she will brush aside anything he says with her intensive hate towards him.

What do I do here? I looked into laws in my state about this sort of thing, and mostly it is all about owner liability for injuries. My mom already pays my brother's medical bills anyways. Even so, if I got her dog put down, I am not sure that she would ever forgive me. I might lose my mom all together. Her anger towards my brother might destroy their relationship, as well. I feel like I have said everything I can and she just uses the same shield to defend herself against every circumstance. I fear that something worse will happen to my brother, as the dog's behavior towards him has only escalated. How do I get through to her without destroying our relationship, I guess, is what I am wondering. Any advice is appreciated.

Tl;dr: my mother's vicious dog attacked my brother, to the point of having two numbed fingers, and did not take him to be seen by a doctor. This is only the most recent (and the worst) of truly countless bites. When dad stepped in and took him to the ER, we learned that the bite had reached the tendon, was infected, and could have rendered my brother's fingers numb forever if medical attention had not been received that day. My mom continues to place full blame on my brother for this incident, despite a vast history of violence on her precious dog's part. How do I help her see the light to avoid further incidents?

This op does bring up something I noticed as a teen. I was always the good kid, never crossed a line or did anything rebellious.

As soon as I turned 13, my dad became incredibly short with me. Asking questions was suddenly "talking back" when it had never been before. Tirades for not being able to read his mind about what snacks he had been planning to eat. I pretty much locked myself in my room and tiptoed down the back stairs if I needed food from 14-18.

My working theory at the time was that culture tells parents that the teen years will be incredibly difficult, so they make certain of it.


Edit: I was afraid of him and I hated him and I dreaded talking to him or spending any time with him, but I still miss him for the 5-10% of things that were good. He killed himself when I was 23 and the note said it was the best thing he could do for us. I've never told my mom that maybe that was right, and I feel awful for thinking it.

AITA for asking a guy why he gained so much weight over the years?

quote:

I (23f) recently moved to a new city and made a some great friends through my local gym. We’re a group of girls and guys with similar interests (fitness/sports) and they’re all so friendly. They showed me around the city and made me feel really comfortable.

One of my friends is this guy (Mark). Everyone’s fit but Mark is the odd one out because he’s quite overweight. He doesn’t go to the gym either but when we’re all hanging out (bar, dinners, fun activities etc) he always comes along.

Mark is a really happy/bubbly guy and obviously the most beloved in the group. I could tell that everyone is very fond of him which I totally understand. He’s really kind and just a sweet person. Sometimes I tease him about his weight but it’s all in good nature and he doesn’t mind. Normally I get told to leave him alone but as long as he’s fine I don’t think I’m hurting anybody.

So yesterday we were all hanging out together and one of the girls started showing me old group photos of their trips over the years. Mark looked REALLY different, I almost didn’t recognize him. He was very fit, muscular and super handsome. (He has a nice face anyway but without the excess fat you could actually see his amazing bone structure). I was shocked and pointed out that he used to look really good and asked him what happened. It wasn’t a mean spirited question at all, I just wanted to know what went wrong.

Suddenly the room went quiet and EVERYBODY was shooting daggers at me. Then one girl said “that’s hosed up” and literally told me to leave. I was pretty confused and explained that I just wanted to know how/why he got so fat. Mark looked awkward and didn’t really answer my question. Everyone started berating me and standing up for him as if I’m some villain. Mark actually defended me and told them that it’s fine but they insisted that it’s not fine.

Afterwards someone spoke to me in private and said that I should think before I speak and that I have no tact. Now everybody’s being weird with me and I don’t get why. They clearly think I’m an rear end in a top hat but Mark doesn’t (otherwise why would he defend me?). Am I the rear end in a top hat here?

TL;DR I asked my overweight friend who used to be in shape why he gained so much weight over the years. Everybody thinks I’m TA

EDIT: I have been informed that Mark experienced a severely traumatic incident a few years ago. I had no idea this was the case and obviously feel bad. I will apologize but completely understand if he doesn’t accept my apology.

My (39f) husband (39m) cheated on me 2 years ago and I forgave him.....now found out more details and am crushed.

quote:

2 years ago he had an affair and the other woman contacted me after he broke up with her. I moved out for a bit and honestly I've never experienced that level of soul-crushing betrayal. I was in absolute agony, realizing all the lies he had told to me.

For a lot of reasons that I won't bore you with, I decided to try to make it work. I wasn't able to be intimate for nearly a year with him, and I was seeing a therapist for C-PTSD. It was truly awful, and it still is extremely challenging but we are both committed and working hard at our "new relationship".

Last weekend, the other woman contacted me again. We hadn't spoken in 2 years since she originally told me (we spoke for about a week at that point and never again after that). She wanted to know if we were still together and when I said we were working through everything she asked if he had told me the truth about how long it had been going on.

​As far as I knew, it had been happening for 1 month. And it had started after we had a very bad fight about something. That's what I had always understood. We had this huge blow-out and in a state of anger he had reached out to her (they were Facebook friends) and it developed quickly from there.

​Instead, she showed me proof that it had been going on for many months prior to that. So it actually wasn't a result of this big fight we'd had. It had been happening all through many events.....our niece's graduation which we attended together and were happy at, our anniversary when we went away for the weekend, his grandfather's funeral, us purchasing a puppy together. So many memories. Instead, all the while he was with me he was also with her, telling her that we lived separate lives and were going to be divorcing.

​He points out that the end result is the same.....he made a terrible mistake and had an affair. He was weak and stupid and knows how badly he betrayed me. He wishes more than anything he could take it back. He loves me and is fully committed to me.

​But for me, it means I was living a lie much longer than I realized. And it wasn't precipitated by a fight.

​I don't know how to move forward. I don't know if I should move forward with him. To me, this makes him more of a monster than I originally thought. He claims no matter what the end result is he hosed up and it's in the past. Who is right? Maybe I'm just not seeing clearly because of emotions.

​tldr: husband had an affair 2 years ago and I forgave him. Now I have information that it was months longer than I knew and I'm so upset all over again.

I(M26) over heard my wife(F25) making racist comments about my little sister(F14). I don't know how to fix this, how to look at her

quote:

Edit: Married a year and a half

My parents (50s) couldn't handle the thought of empty nesting. They adopted my sister and brought her home when she was four. She's Korean. I have two older brothers(27,29) but we only have the one sister. We all kind of dote on her and kind of spoil her a bit but she's not a brat or anything.

So here's the back story. My grandma sadly passed away last June. So she left her house and some money to my parents. It's not a lot of money but the house is worth a ton. My parents decided to make some changes on their trust and will leave my sister their house and, my grandparents' house which they just inherited. They apportioned some money to all three of us boys but amounts to a small fraction of what my sister got. The three of us were happy she's taken care of and talked about giving up our share for her. But we don't want to sound ungrateful to our parents for leaving us something.

None of us have a problem with this. The oldest of my brothers has two kids and one on the way and he got more than middle brother and I got because my parents name his kids as beneficiaries for some money as well. None of us have a problem with that either. We all just kind of hope my parents live a long time still, and we won't have to worry about that stuff any time soon. By the way, the amounts are not much we're talking less than $100K. The two houses combined are well into seven figures. That's the only significantly large amount in all this.

As far as I know my two SIL's don't care either. But my wife had a friend over and she was venting to her about her frustration with the way the money was allocated in the will. I came home early from work yesterday and walked in through the back yard and in the back door. I always walk in that way cause of how I park. I wasn't trying to sneak in.

My wife said she had a problem with my older brother getting more because he has kids and said "we need to hurry up and have kids if that's the case." I stood in the kitchen listening for a while. They were in the living room. Then she started about my sister and initially called her a spoiled little bitch. Then it escalated from there. I was frozen at first and didn't walk right in until the racist comments came out. Her best friend's reaction was of shock. She tried to calm her and tell her it's not as big a deal as she thinks. She told her she was going over board but my wife just kept at it, getting angrier and more disgusting with her language.

I walked in and asked her if she's felt that way about my sister all along, and about other races (we're all white American). She stopped in her tracks and asked me how long i'd been listening. I said "all along but not long enough apparently." She started raising her voice about my family spoiling her and doing her a disservice. Honestly, I didn't hear most of what she said at this point. I was way beyond furious and sick. I looked at her friend and she immediately stood up and excused herself and left.

I can't look at my wife. I can't say how I feel about her right now. She didn't take any of it back or apologize. She said she chose the wrong words but that she's right about the point she's making. She's always been nice to my sister. But I didn't feel as though this was just a moment of rage on her part over the money. We're not even going to see any of that money for decades (hopefully).

Whenever called her out on the racist remarks she just deflected and said I was missing the point. She says it's no big deal and people just say those thing when they're angry.

I don't know about all that "people saying racist things when they're angry." I know that it makes me extra sick that it was about my sister. Not to diminish racist remarks about anybody, but I'll admit that I lost it in large part because it was about my sister. So she went to stay at her parents and told me to call her when I'm ready to talk. I don't know if I'll ever be ready. I feel sick, like literally sick to my stomach. I was a bit blindsided by this.

I got an apologetic text from my wife's best friend. She feels horrible that she didn't do more to stop her. I told her I had no problem with anything she said or how she reacted. She did try to stop her by the way but there was no stopping her. I remember her saying "Oh my god" several times, and "don't even say that as a joke," more than once. Even though it was clear she wasn't joking. She tried to reel her in but there was no stopping her.

My sister would be devastated because she truly loves my wife. I feel sick and hope she never finds out. If anybody in my family finds out, I don't know how my wife's relationship with any of them survives this when she's not accepting it at all. She thinks it's no big deal cause it was just a moment of anger.

EDIT Just want to address my parents leaving her most of the assets since so many find it odd. There was a ton of planning done with a law firm. It's not like they're handing my sister two sets of house keys with just a "good luck kid." They assigned a trustee (my brother) and back up trustees (my other brother, and me). Everything from who gets custody of her to how and when she gets the money is spelled out. As far as grandma's house, it's my understanding she explicitly told my parents (in writing) she wanted my sister to have her house (she had her reasons and we all respect that, and nobody was surprised by it considering how close they were). So that's her's alone and all rental income is for her trust fund. My brothers are well on their way financially. I will be fine. For now, my sister is the one that needs the most protection and security. Maybe later that will change in terms of my parents' house or any other money. For now it's how it is and everybody is happy with that arrangement. We are talking about arrangements in case of a tragedy. Hopefully this is something that won't happen for a couple or more decades. I don't think it's a big deal at all.

tl;dr: My wife made racist and hateful comments about my sister. I don't know if I'll ever get over this. I don't know where to go from here. I have to let more time pass but I think this might be it.

There's an update to this that's been deleted but the comments seem to imply he divorced her.

A reddit success story.

I found out my wife is a racist bitch, reddit what do I do? What can I possibly do in such a situation? I just have no idea what possible action I could take to resolve the situation that I'm married to a racist bitch???

I have to admit that the million dollar inheritance for the sister while everyone else gets a lot less gave me pause. And then the brothers even considered giving their share to her too.

It's just a little bizarre.

It sounds like the other kids are well off financially and dont need the money, while she is starting out and significantly younger so less able to benefit from parents. Its still weird how disparate it is, but they could also just be like actual good people

Presumably before that moment he was happy and in love with her. I think it's perfectly rational to do a little sanity check before committing to a plan of action. Plus, the dude can't exactly go to his friends because if he's wrong then he's just ruined their lives anyway.
