My boyfriend and I have both hit hard by the economic effects of COVID-19. I was laid off from my job, and my boyfriend's company has furloughed most of its employees indefinitely. We are both very anxious about our future, and every dollar we receive from unemployment and our stimulus checks is going directly into sav... | NTA
She's living in YOUR HOME. For FREE. She should be grateful about that instead of complaining. ###### |
It was a couple of us together, my friend started dating this chick. We live in Colorado, but before his girlfriend lived in LA. She was telling us about how she used to live in L.A that she knew a lot of stars, I am not going to name who. But talked about how she hooked up with certain producers. And then said that he... | NTA
She's emotionally abusing her boyfriend by bragging about how many guys she slept with and telling him he should feel lucky, because clearly she's just "lowering her standards." Your friends might have felt awkward about the exchange, but their silence says more on their willingness to condone such behaviour than... |
I had a heated argument with my mother about her lying.
She really likes to talk about me; especially if it's something that SHE thinks is correct, but is in fact a lie.
She thinks that she knows everything about me and that she can read my mind.
Especially in conversations with others where she would talk "for" me.... | NTA
She wasn't willing to listen to you and ignored you. Sometimes, yelling, though far from a good thing, is the only way to get through people. ###### |
For context, I bought a new cast iron skillet and still trying to get the hang of using it to cook a nice melted cheese sandwich.
I thought that I should be sweet and make my wife breakfast. I’ve did this for a number of occasions these past couple of weeks but today was the one that made me rather pissed.
She came ... | NTA
She was being ungrateful and rude. ###### |
I (m,23) have zero tolerance for people who are late. I have been dating a girl (22) for a few months now. She is always late, usually 5-10minutes but sometimes 15-20minutes. It drives me nuts but I dont say much. Yesterday we had a date, she did not show up I was calling her but she was not picking up the phone. After... | NTA
She was at least 50 minutes late. That's extremely disrespectful of your time.
This isn't going change. Find someone else to date. ###### |
its been going on for a while, but durring the lock down her complaining about not being able to find a 'man up to her standards' has gotten the better of me(26f).
Her wants:
roughly her age
Never married
No kids
high paying job
no exes drama
fit/stays in shape
loyal
doesnt mind spoiler her and their kids.

She wants a textbook perfect guy when she's a textbook mess. ###### |
Hey everyone,
​
now I am in a bit of a tricky situation and don’t know how to handle it. My GF borrowed my almost new drone, because she wanted to make some short videos of her new sport activities for me.
I had previously given her a very detailed instruction on what to do and what NEVER to do at all lik... | NTA
She used it in a manner that you warned against and she broke it. She is liable for it. Wether you want to try and pursue the money is up to you, I wouldn’t call you an ah for expecting a replacement so long as you’re nice about it. ###### |
So, my mum called me and asked me if I wanted to have some Sparkling/fizzy water from the supermarket. I’d have to go with her since her arm is injured and she isn’t strong enough to carry a sixpack. I told her I’m fine and I don’t need any. She said ok, and then came home from work in a fussy mood. I asked her if she’... | NTA
She sounds mad at you not going along with her and like she's trying to make you feel guilty or annoyed ###### |
My older sister and I share the house we grew up in as part of our inheritance. To keep this as concise as possible, my sister’s boyfriend and I absolutely do not get along. I genuinely do not think he’s a good person and have no problem going out of my way to avoid him. My sister is well aware of the fact that we don’... | NTA
She shouldn't have given him a key without talking to you first.
He doesn't live there, so shouldn't be there if she's out of the house.
But realistically? They're not going to stop. She's just going to make him another key.
If sharing the house with her isn't working for you, then you might need to talk to a ... |
I will try to not make this too long, also on mobile, blah blah blah.
So yesterday I(13) was making some ballon dinosaurs and I was using scissors to cut the paper, stupidly I left them out last night and went to bed. I am woken up by my step dad throwing open my door and yelling about how I left the scissors out. My ... | NTA
SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BEING SUPERVISED BY HER PARENTS IN THE FIRST PLACE
It takes time to cut it off, if he had been watching her properly or noticed the scissors out she wouldn’t have done it. ###### |
My girlfriend broke up with my last night out of the blue. She said she woke up one day a couple months ago and said she wasn’t happy in the relationship and she wasn’t getting what she wanted out but she waited until last night to tell me. A few months ago we went to get some pottery at a local store. She wanted to bu... | NTA
She said she'd pay you back. A break-up doesn't change anything here. ###### |
So me (m18) and my ex girlfriend (f18) of a little over 8 months broke up about two weeks ago. For context, the breakup was pretty mutual and peaceful because we are both getting ready to go to college and didn’t think we could do long distance. Since then, she made a tik tok with several pictures and videos of me foll... | NTA
She posted pictures of you without your permission. Super simple, she should take it down. Additionally, tik tok tends to assume things and you could end up getting a bad name because of what she posted. ###### |
My older sister and I are very different. She’s very loud, very “open” and pretty shameless. This is why whenever she comes over to my mom’s apartment (where I am currently living because I had to flee my college housing), she has no problem ripping off her shirt to change or to show us that he boobs are bigger/smaller... | NTA
She knows it makes you uncomfortable yet she continues to do it. ###### |
I’ve been with my girlfriend coming up to 1 year now. Her best friend has been having a 3 month affair with a married man. She knows he is married.
She found out she was pregnant a month back and he has completely disappeared into thin air. He has blocked or deleted her from tinder and she never got his real name (th... | NTA
She knew what she was getting into and you're being honest I get it's her friend but that's no excuse for her behavior ###### |
So my(25m) sister(19f) is staying with me during quarantine because I live in her college city and our mom is across the country. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but the second bedroom I had been using as a game room/office.
Our mom sent her some money for a bed when she moved in, but my sister spent it on a new co... | NTA
She knew what she was doing when she used the bed money for a computer. She blatantly thought she could then force you to buy her a bed. She doesn't deserve to be rewarded for misusing your mother's money. ###### |
I've dated a girl for a few months. I'm her first since her husband of 2 weeks died a year ago this July.
She wants to bring this kid along, but doesn't want her husband's family to know she's dating, so we can't flirt, hold hands, kiss etc. with him around.
Because of that, I said we can't bring him unless she can t... | NTA
She isn't ready. ###### |
A few days ago, my (16F) mom (50) told me that she recorded me singing in the shower from outside the door. Later, one of her friends was over and asked me if I would sing. My mom said that she showed him the video. I didn't say much then, but today, I brought it up and told her she shouldn't record me without my permi... | NTA
She invaded your privacy and when you called her out on it she reacted in a very belligerent and disingenuous manner. ###### |
my wife has been avoiding me for a couple months now. I thought it was stress. I lost my job, and was fully at home for nearly 3 weeks, and she started working more. Thing is, she would be 2-3 hours late coming home from work. One night, she didnt come home at all. I felt bad for her working so hard, so I made everythi... | NTA
She had the iPad open not closed. So you didn’t go out of your way to look into what she was doing. She’s just using that as an excuse for her cheating. ###### |
I’m FTM, when I was 14 I came out as transgender to my parents.
My sister was 5 when I came out, she’s now 18.
I’m now 27, married with a daughter (I don’t know if I need to clarify but we used a donor and my wife got pregnant)
My parents helped pay so we could afford the bills etc that came along with trying for a... | NTA
She got pregnant while very young, not in a serious relationship or financially independent and still living with her parents. I'm not trying to judge anyone else here who may have been in a similar situation but in this case, it doesn't sound like particularly responsible behaviour to me.
So she's trying to com... |
Last night we decided that I am going to come to her apartment around 8. When I got up today it was raining and the bus was a bit late so I arrived to her apartment around 8:10. When I knocked on the door she told me through the door that she is just going to take a quick shower. Her showers always take an hour and th... | NTA
She could have let you in before her shower.
For future reference, a good general plan is to not wait for another person for longer than 15 minutes.
In this case, the minute she left you in the rain so she could take a shower, she prioritized her desire for a shower over your comfort and you should have just le... |
A girl i had been sleeping with recently got pregnant. She however had been sleeping with dozens of other men and she only slept with me once, while she slept with them all the time. I wore a condom as well so the chances of it being my baby are incredibly slim so she hasn't been able get me for child support but she c... | NTA
She cant tf ake you to court over paternity if she feels so strong about support. ###### |
Okay I know this is weird. Me and my SO just moved into a new 2 bedroom apartment. We planned to make the second smaller room an office. One of our neighbors from the apartment next door introduced herself as we were moving our stuff in. She’s very chatty and outgoing and we hit it off right away.
She says we seem co... | NTA
She can move her own bedroom if it bothers her that much, this neighbour has a real cheek! ###### |
My roommate got pregnant and asked me to move out so her bf could move in and they could turn my bedroom into a nursery for the baby.
That made sense to me and I had absolutely no problem moving out. My paychecks have been a little unstable anyway, so I had been using my savings to pay rent. So ending the lease early ... | NTA
She asked you to move out for the sake of her new family, but what if that didn't work for you? Would she have still let you stay, or would she be more interested in her new plan?
You gotta take care of yourself girl. There are definitely tons of people looking for places to live right now. No shortage of potent... |
My girlfriend and I live together, and she’s usually pretty relaxed and easy to get along with. But today she put on a smaller tank top, and some shorts, looked in the mirror and asked if the top made her look fat.
Now my girlfriend isn’t fat per se, but she’s a little chubby. She’s still attractive, but she’s not a 2... | NTA
She asked you a question, heard the polite answer, refused it and then couldn’t take the honest one ###### |
I have a daughter who will be 27 in two months, and lately she has been constantly lamenting the fact that she is so "old" and has not found "the one." I know that this is likely a result of so many of her friends having gotten married within the last two or so years, including her younger sister who married her longti... | NTA
She asked to know what was wrong, you gave an honest opinion. If she thinks she’s hopeless and genuinely wanted an answer well she got one, maybe “the one” will be able to put up with all her needs but for now, you just gave advice that you believe will help her. ###### |
Background: I dated this guy for 2 almost 3 years. At first everything was fine he is literally the smoothest guy I’ve ever talked to, then all of a sudden something happened with his apartment. He said the lease expired and his landlord was doubling his rent if he renewed it, being 19 at the time I believed him. To ma... | NTA
Seriously. If I had the mental fortitude and rapport with my exes new significant other I'd have warned her.
Not because I hate him. I really hope they are actually happy.
But because he used, abused, and manipulated me into never wanting to be in a relationship with a man again and I never want someone els... |
Me (22F) and my boyfriend (22M) were in the middle of foreplay when I pulled back his for skin and saw it was a little bit ( just a little bit ) gross. I asked him if he could clean it before we went any further and he responded by saying “can we not just have sex then go shower?” To which I said that’s unsanitary and ... | NTA
Seriously, wtf. He needs to clean that shit. I never get offended when my gf has asked me (it's happened a couple times) to wash up before sex. Sometimes we even shower together and then have sex once we're fresh and clean. ###### |
For context, he (23m) isn’t playing for me (23f) specifically, just playing because it’s his hobby. A few hours a day and it’s not generally popular music, usually songs from games or films and 9 times out of 10 they are what I would call ‘Cowboy Themed’. He also does the singing in the appropriate accent for the son... | NTA
Seriously though, you married the annoying guy at parties who whips out the acoustic guitar?
That's on you. ###### |

Ruining the whole trip because your 26yr old friend is too disappointed that she won't be able to go to the water park? I know it can be easier said than done, but I'd try and get a new friend. Preferably one with a mental age older than 12. ###### |

Restaurant in Germany are only required to hold your reservation for 15 min past the booked time. I don’t know the policy where you are from but four fucking and half hours is way way to late to still insist on a reservation. ###### |

Husband and I have been struggling financially for a while now. I’ve tried making up a budget that lists our income, expenses, due dates, and balances on credit cards, but he won’t use it.

My mom has this story she tells me: when I was a toddler she and my dad got into a fight over money, as a way to make up he bought her a ruby necklace. She had to pawn it for groceries and it made her even more mad bc of how plainly he showed that he just didn't get it ###### |
Posting on behalf of my sister (F15). Like a lot of people, she has a first name and a middle name. For the purposes of this post, let’s say her first name is Chloe and her middle name is Rosa. Both names were chosen by our parents. She likes to be called Chloe, and this is what her friends, teachers, extended family e... | NTA
My little siblings are twins and have very similar names (think Ned and Teddy) and when they were little we started calling one by his middle name because their teachers and friends had started collectively calling both of them their names equivalent of ‘Neddy’. They’re 14 now and go by their proper names and we ... |
So I’m 6 months pregnant and I was talking to my friend who has two kids on the phone today. She asked how I was doing and I mentioned that my feet were really hurting today, and she said I should get my husband to rub them.
I told her that he doesn’t like giving foot rubs, and I usually use a baseball and roll my foo... | NTA
My guess is you hit a sore spot there. It IS unhealthy and wrong of her to manipulate (yes, you're right there imo, she was manipulating him) her husband into giving her footrubs. You calling her out on that made her so uncomfortable she lashed out. You've done nothing wrong. ###### |

My fiancé and I have been together almost six years. He came to the relationship with a very cute but very spoiled cat he has always indulged. The cat has essentially “trained” him to meet his demands by meowing loudly and being a general pest.
I’ve always been good to his (our, really) pet. Feeding him, scooping litt... | NTA
My cat used to do this, but I had enough of missing sleep from being woken up at 3 AM. Eventually, I got a tambourine so when I heard the meowing, I opened my door and shook it
If you cave, they know it works. They train you. Theyll bother you until you wake up and do what they want. I'll give them what they wan... |
Long story short, my father has drinking problems - he has been getting drunk every day for 10 years. As his drinking got worse, he had to close his small business and now works as a secretary for a smaller wage. Everything he earns goes on alcohol and smoking and so does my mom's money which she gives him to drink.

My advice: help them pay the bills while your there so no drama happens and so you can keep going to college.
Once you leave cut help. She can pay the bills if she doesn’t give him the money for booze. She has the power to have a better life. And so does he. ###### |

Lots of these replies are about you reaching out to your dad and finding out why he treated you so bad. You know you are just a reminder of your mother. And for that pain your dad avoided and shunned you.

Just start cooking for yourself and leave them all to fend for themselves for a while (assuming your son isn’t like 4 and your wife is totally enabling him).

We went over there at least 4 times trying to talk with them in over a year, but the response was always along the lines of “we can make noise from 10 to 10”, and when I asked to keep them in the back so they wouldn’t react to anything that moves, they said “I don’t want to take away their view.”
Now I bought a dog w... | NTA
Just because you don’t have to go out of your way to not annoy your neighbors until 10 doesn’t mean you’re allowed to do anything you want all day every day. If it’s obnoxious, it’s obnoxious and you should call the police and file noise complaints anyway. They shouldn’t be leaving their dogs out all day. ###### |
My mother left when I (18F) was 9 years old, seemingly never to be heard from again. I was sad about it of course, but not *too* sad as we never got along.

Its a lot of emotional shock, and whether you should turn someone in? If the sexes were reversed here there wouldn't even be a question. They'd want him locked up and the key thrown away.

It's your dress and being sentimental about it isn't a bad thing. You seem to be a caring sister so they should accept the fact that you want to keep this one thing to yourself. If they don't then they're being assholes since you are entitled to not sharing your stuff. ###### |
