Evil Willow posted:AITA because I decided to stop cooking and cleaning to teach my husband a lesson in appreciation? If my wife ever serves me with divorce papers I'll simply counter with a curated selection of r/r posts like this one (and of course some rear end-wiping impaired men) along with a note asking if she really wants to take her chances finding someone who meets basic human requirements, you know, like me. Why is it so difficult for these manchildren?

Virtue cheating is when you tell your partner that, per Plato, justice is that which is due each person, but you run around with some hussy on the side and formulate with her a theory of justice using Rawl's veil of ignorance thought experiment.

Zurtilik posted:I've posted a few in quick succession so I'll chill a bit now. I love this guy, the storied world traveler: "I understand all you essentially have to do to gain respect of the locals is make an effort to learn THEIR LANGUAGE AND THEIR CUSTOMS and you will most likely be accepted (Source: 13 days in 4 capital cities in Europe back in September 2016)" That's like 2 days per city, 3 if you're really generous around assumptions about flight schedules/overnight trains. But I'll rely on Mr. "If it's Tuesday, it must be Belgium" to tell me about travel.

SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted:And here’s where I admit to being the rear end in a top hat: years ago in the Before Times when I had an annual pass my first stop at Epcot was always the Coke gift shop/tasting station and I would excitedly proclaim “oh wow, try the Beverly!” to my friends who already had done so. Without fail someone within earshot would in fact try the Beverly on the word of a complete stranger who wasn’t even addressing them. The reactions were golden, especially from the little boy who loved it to the shock of his parents. I missed the Beverly chat earlier but I remember only three things from the World of Coke in Atlanta: 1) you get a free little can of whatever type of Coke you want, 2) Greece has Grapefruit Fanta that is like 10x better than Fresca, and 3) Beverly, the Italian soft drink, is literally dirt flavored. Not "earthy", not talking about "terroir", just dirt. You, Superman's Gal Pal, are a monster, both for deceiving innocent civilians and for liking this abomination of a beverage

cumshitter posted:Not only is he gross, but inventing debt and saying you'll forgive it for sex counts as solicitation of prostitution which pretty much invalidates any threats he could make of taking her to court. Yeah, attempts to solicit his ex-wife aside, one of the purposes of divorce is to apportion assets and debts among the two parties, and unless she was concealing debt that impacted him (by taking out a credit card in his or both their names and running it up), no court will pay any attention and she should tell him to pound sand. (IANAL; don't take advice from me.) Or tell him to whack off, which would be more suitable for his demand for sex.

Soylent Pudding posted:AITA for telling my fiancee I am not willing to lie about how we met to her family and friends? So I started to sympathize with the fiancée in this story...I met my wife online over 15 years ago, we lived two miles away from each other, it was in the dark ages of online dating (Yahoo! Personals, back when that was a thing), and I was a bit embarrassed by the whole thing. I asked her if we could say we met at the Borders* that was between our houses. She goodnaturedly/exhasperatedly agreed, and that was the story I told until we got married. However, I did not ask her to propagate any other outlandish stories. The fact that such a wonderful person would date a troglodyte like me was outlandish enough already. * oh hell, do I need to explain to younger goons what Borders was? It was a bookstore like Barnes and Noble...oh poo poo, I guess that doesn't work any more either

Ghost Leviathan posted:I think if anything, a mob front should seek to be at worst mediocre, or at least able to slap together a reasonable product for anyone who walks in the door. Like, a dusty old store where you'd imagine the equally dusty proprietor considers actually selling anything to be offensive, that's not a mob front, that's a vanity business for someone with too much money and/or no regard for it and too much free time. For a restaurant you want one that people don't bother thinking about, it's an option, where those in the know won't raise an eyebrow dining at, nor will those who see it and think it looks okay at the time. In Bridgeport, Chicago, which used to be a seat of power for the Irish mob as well as the Daley family ( but I repeat myself), that's practically all you had for restaurants. Little sandwich shops everywhere that looked at you crosswise if you walked in and ordered a sandwich, and then would assemble the most basic sandwich possible in the surliest manner imaginable. Two miles away, on Taylor Street, the Italians had to at least pretend by offering good food at the restaurants that lined the strip. (I have no idea if Taylor Street restaurants are a front but I've heard gossip they are, but that may just be stereotyping.)

The Bramble posted:Should I worry that boyfriend (36) would rather finish a game than have sex with me (30f)? Boyfriend is obviously the goatse-sized-rear end in a top hat here but I too love to turn intimacy into a tit-for-tat affair instead of dealing with the underlying issues. Anyway, I say ESH, not because she won't give him a hummer, but because she won't dump him already.

Unless he works at the Lollipop Guild, I imagine everyone he talks with about height is already laughing at him behind his back.

Foo Diddley posted:AITA for cancelling the family trip after I found out that my wife cancelled my son's ticket? Love it when the trash takes itself out; hope it stays that way. This doesn't apply here because the stepmother treated the boys well for a while, at least until they were married -- maybe it's because I'm a divorced dad who found a wife who's also a kick-rear end stepmom and wouldn't have brought her into my daughter's life and kept her there if I didn't think she'd be a net positive for my daughter, but I'm usually more pissed off at the birth parent than the stepparent in these stories. The latter may be selfish and shallow, but the former is making the active choice to accept that over their own children, which is more selfish and shallower by a significant degree.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:I'm assuming we all jumped to OnlyFans or stripping, but there's a surprise turn here: quote:I do liver transplants anesthesia. These are no joke. Liver transplants have a high mortality rate - highest for all living organ donors. So this is more than cosemetics. Plus i believe in bodily autonomy. I met my wife online in the pre-app days, back when it was much more akin to newspaper personal ads than swiping. She only mentioned briefly in her ad that she worked in healthcare. Well, it turns out she's an MD, and it took a lucky guess for me to guess it quickly (my first wife had also been an MD and I could read between some lines). The reasons why she was intentionally vague about her job were 1) she could more easily identify male chauvinists who would show their whole rear end and assume she was a nurse or tech or whatever without even talking to her about her job, 2) she would screen out some golddiggers, and 3) she would screen out some drugseekers
