That story makes my skin crawl. OP should introduce bed bugs to the flat and then immediately move out. In for a penny, in for a pound.

AITA for calling my brother a virgin when he told me I shouldn't be having sex?quote:I'm 22f. I got pregnant at 18, had a shotgun wedding, had another kid with my husband when I was 20, and 2 months ago I left my lovely husband. I am staying with my parents, and I'm saving up to move out, because all my money was in a joint account which my husband drained, however last month I found out that I am pregnant with a third child, meaning that in about 4 months I will be a single mother to 3 kids under 5 years old. I know my situation isn't ideal, however I have a good job that has already agreed to me taking paid maternity leave (plus a non-demanding side job that I can work during my leave), I've built up a financial cushion over the last couple months, and I've found a nice place to live that is within my budget which my kids and I will be moving into on the 1st October. AITA for refusing to shave down there until my boyfriend shaves his face ? quote:Ok so ever since quarantine started, my bf has started to grow out his facial hair. Now I didn’t mind it when it was subtle and short but it’s recently grown out for months and honestly looks horrible. It definitely doesn’t suit his face and the facial hair has been making me breakout when we kiss (I have sensitive skin). I’ve talked to him about this. I’ve asked him to even do a little trim, but he’s refusrd. Every time he threatens to wait until New Years, or middle of next year to shave. He gets very defensive and I understand why, it’s his body, it’s his choice to do it. I don’t want to be that girl that threatens to leave over appearance. However... AITA for making him wear headphones? quote:My partner and I have lived together for 2 years. He's a gamer, I'm not, but it's his hobby and I want him to have time to unwind and do the things he likes just as I do. I don't mind spending our free time with him gaming and I'm doing something else, I never do. But we live in a very small flat and when he plays games with heavy gunfire noises it brings on an anxiety attack. He knows this and sometimes he wears headphones but not always. It got to the point where I had to consistently remind him to do this because the sound makes me nauseous and panicky. It started where he'd roll his eyes and grumble, then it progressed to him sighing and complaining. Now he won't put them on unless I ask him. Today I was having a bath and the sound of gunfire literally surrounded me. I ended up having a full scale panic attack. I confronted him and got really upset. He was very defensive, claiming the headphones hurt his ears and that he should be allowed to complain about wearing them if he wants to. Surely he could get more comfortable headphones and not put me through this every time? AITA??? I bought some very nice wireless headphones (pricey to me at $80) just so the house isn't filled with the sounds of random games or videos. Unless you have the set on for hours at a time, how can it be a big deal? Oh right, HIS NEEDS.

i literally don't play my shootymans games without headphones because the faux-surroundsound tricks they can do provide extremely helpful environmental cues. like, hearing footsteps to my left or whatever.

I just googled "Drippini" and thats the best poo poo ever. I used to have these older Greek women come in to the Greek restaurant I worked at. I'd often hear comments about how "nobody down here speaks Greek anymore" and "the neighborhood has changed". This was usually thinly veiled racism, as our front of house was primarily staffed by black people. They were horrible tippers, complained a lot, and would lecture servers about how the Pastitsio wasn't authentic like their "Yia-yia" used to make. poo poo like that. They just couldn't help but demonstrate to everyone around them that they were the "real deal" in Greektown even though its just a Casino district now and they moved out to a suburb that had sundown laws in the 80s.

Maybe they're geordies or scousers? WIBTA if I told my (33F) sister (26F) that I don’t want her husband (35M) alone with my son? quote:Okay I’m about to give birth to our (husband and I) second child any day now. I’m literally 40wks today. My sister is the only family I have in the area and since she works from home has agreed to watch our 3 yr old while we’re in the hospital having baby. This reminds me of the old post where OP became contemptuous and distrustful of her husband for doing such "red flags" as remembering friends' birthdays, listening politely and asking good questions when acquaintances discussed hobbies/interests he did not practice himself, and being nice to people at work. She said he was like an empty mirror and worried he was a spy or something. Does anyone have a link to that one?

You can totally be empathetic while still being judgmental as hell. It's a term that the protagonists of all the narcissist subreddits use to characterize themselves when posting threads about their abusive family members whether it has anything to do with what's going on or not. AITA for charging my 18 year old child rent? quote:My daughter recently turned 18 and started her senior year of high school. She works a part time job and makes $12/hour for minimum wage. She will be charged $288 a month and I pay $100 and the utilities. I cannot afford to pay her part of the rent because I do not work, I get my own money to pay the rent from her father from child support. If it were up to me, she would not have to pay rent but in order to keep the place we live then she will need to pay a portion of her income towards rent. She’s okay with this but her father says otherwise and says she should not have to. I don’t WANT her to pay rent but it is what it is if she wants to live here.

Not like, well that dude is wearing his angry face, therefore he's angry, they think they read auras or some poo poo. In all likelihood they are either nervous wrecks hypersensitive to other people's emotions to read the room protect themselves, or so far up their own arse the event horizon telescope project will soon be taking pictures of them.

Knobb Manwich posted:Empaths believe that they can read other people's emotions. This certainly describes some people who use the term offline and on woo sites like they read on thefplus. In my experience, posters who use the term on r/raisedbynarcissists or similar locales like advice columns do in fact tend to consider being able to understand someone's emotional state by facial expression or vocal tone to be a super power that they think only a small number of very speshul people (like themselves, coincidentally!) are capable of, unlike the sheeple that create problems for them. AITA for not wanting to sleep next to human waste? quote:I [22F] am currently in the process of switching rooms with my 15 year old brother. I wouldn't mind it at all if I wasn't being guilt tripped and gaslit (by my mother) for not wanting to fully move into the room until the 6 years worth of snot of is completely cleaned from the walls.

AITA for farting in front of my brother's girlfriend when she is over at our house?quote:I'm 18 my brother is 20 and he has his first serious girlfriend (over a year together) and she spends a lot of time at our house. She is there like 4 days a week anywhere from 2 to 12 hours at a time. Sometimes she even spends the night. You can hear everything in our house so if I fart in my room with my door open just a bit at least half the house knows. I just can't hold farts in for that long. I was told that I'm "disgusting" for doing that with a guest in the house.
