I (25m) broke up with my 🍀 ex (24f) three years ago after she cheated on me a bunch of times. I didn't know she was cheating for a long time but I caught her while she was out with her friends and I was out with mine. One of her friends spilled that she'd been hooking up with random guys in clubs every time she went out with them. I broke up with her that night. We'd been planning to move in together and had been looking at places while she was cheating on me almost every week. It was a huge deal for me. 5 years we'd been together too and I loved her but I don't believe she ever loved me. My family knows what happened and it surprised them as much as me. My brother (26m) had a 😾 long time girlfriend when I was with my ex and when we broke up. They broke up last year and then he started dating my ex. I didn't like it when I found out and I told him I felt like he betrayed me. He told me to grow up and he said he didn't owe me anything. My sisters (22f and 29f) are on my side and think he's s__tty to date her but the rest of the family are like *maybe she's grown* and *it's not great but let's not fall out over this.* I have never supported their relationship and a ❤️ few weeks before Christmas they announced they were getting married and sent out wedding invites for March of this year. It's a backyard wedding and my brother asked the whole family to help pull it together. I told everyone I'm not going or helping and my sister's joined me. My brother's pi**ed. Our other two...

I (40'sM) was married to Martha (40'sF) for over 16 years. We had two kids together in that time who are now teenagers. Our marriage ended after ⚡ I learned of Martha's three year emotional affair with a man she was talking to online. This was not the only reason our marriage ended but it explained the problems we'd been having. Martha and this 😹 man never met each other in person and that was mentioned in the hopes I would try to work things out. Yes they said a lot of things and she had developed strong feelings for him but they 🚟 never met face to face. That was what I heard a lot of. Even without meeting or anything physical it was way too much. She still cheated and treated me awfully. I couldn't do anything right. She complained I wasn't working hard enough to provide for us and if I passed up on overtime she'd give me hell for it. But she'd also complain I was working too many hours. Then she complained when I wanted to go out for date nights and accused me of taking away from time we could spend as a family with our kids or wasting money. Yet she complained when we didn't do something together. Our anniversaries were the worst. For the last two of our marriage she got mad at me for getting her gifts she loved and wanted. She'd say I was trying to show her up or make her feel guilty for not being as good of a wife as I was a husband. Whenever I spent time with our kids she accused me of trying to poison them against her or win them to my side. At the 🙊 time I had no idea what she was talking about and...

I (F39) walked out on my date (Joe M39) last night after he acted disrespectful and inconsiderate. He’s not a boyfriend. We were FWB until last night. I really wanted the relationship to progress and in the beginning, he showed me great care and was even loving. But as we developed our connection, he started doing things that were hurtful. For example, he eyed another guest at a party and talked about how 🚊 hot she is. This was awkward because I didn’t know how to respond. He was not my boyfriend and saying something might put me to ridicule. On two occasions, he laughed at my emotional responses and on one occasion, he said he could tell when I was jealous because my shoulders always got stiff. I won a coupon to a cool restaurant and went to redeem it and invited Joe. We ate and drank and generally had been on a good run for the past few days. All of a sudden, he said that he had a terminal disease and thanked me for the gesture. He went on talking in a very serious tone about leaving his family and how he just wanted to live life to the fullest. I broke down crying and couldn’t stop. It was extremely painful and I couldn’t regain my composure. I wasn’t sobbing or anything, just crying quietly. He tried to calm me down and eventually said it was a prank. I thought he was lying just to get me to stop crying but when he cracked into a laughter I had it. He ordered more drinks and I excused myself to the bathroom, found our waitress and redeemed my coupon and paid the remaining amount only for my food and 😀 left. The original arrangement was to use the coupon and...

Hi guys. First time poster, my partner suggested I post here as she is on here a lot and I'm very conflicted about what happened. 2023 myself and my partner were in 🌅 hospital for her to give birth to our 3rd child. She had to be induced and 🌍 it progressed very quickly. After a 4 hours she was being rushed to labour and delivery. The baby was extremely stressed and was basically trying to force herway out before mum was properly dilated. The amazing midwives suggested an epidural to help relax both my partner and baby as my partner was in an extreme amount of pain. One of them left the room and came back not long after not looking too happy with the matron. They said the lady to do the epidural would be along shortly and they helped my partner get more comfortable. When the anesthesiologist got there, she Introduced herself before going "where is my tray? I do not set up my own tray. YOU do it for me" looking at the younger midwife. I could see why they brought in the matron. They set up the tray, sat my partner up and got her ready. This woman... This absolute moron couldn't get the epidural in. Now I know what you're thinking, I'm being an a__hole because it's not easy. Oh contraire mon frere, everytime she didn't get it in right it gave me partner a severe contraction which she would then tut and hurumph at. After the 6TH attempt my partner screamed with a contraction. 😊 The moron said "really now? I can't do this if you 🤡 keep moving!" I snapped and told her to get out, I want someone else. She threw the needle down on the tray and walked out. I immediately apologised to the...

My aunt is a mechanic who opened up her own business 30 years ago. She has one kid, my cousin Jake (26) and he's always been her shadow when it came to the business. From the time he was young he was in the shop with her and he started working there full time when he turned 18. And he was a hard worker. Doing so much to help keep everything working well, he balanced out my aunt's somewhat abrasive personality and he made sure everything was where it was supposed to be. He worked the longest 🤠 hours out of anyone. He wasn't the only person working there either. She hired me (30m) 💟 and another cousin too. And she has a few other guys on staff. It was always called the family business and she said it was her legacy to pass down some day. One of the other guys who works for my aunt is Dylan (30m). For a few years now my aunt has taken Dylan under 😊 her wing to teach him everything she knows and has treated him like a son. I know Jake was jealous of that and felt left out and insecure about his place in the business. It was very noticeable how my aunt was treating Dylan like the person who'd inherit the shop when she was ready to stop down. I brought it up to her once and she told me to mind my own business. Jake carried on working his ass off. And his relationship with his mom grew more and more distant. In March my aunt announced that when the time came for her to stop down, she'd be leaving Dylan in charge and passing over ownership to him. Jake confronted her about the decision and she told him it was...

English Isn't my first language. I (21F) have always had a good relationship with my mother (46F) and that didn't change after my parents divorced for personal reasons. However, things took a turn when my stepfather (37M) entered our lives. My mother has always been a bit eccentric, but she was never hurtful, and she always made sure my older sister (23F) and I felt loved. That changed when she started dating my stepfather. While I got along with him and he respected 🍃 my privacy, my mother started acting differently. At first, it was subtle things like, 'You two spend a lot of time together,' and 'You're getting really friendly.' I brushed it off, mostly because I didn't thought much of it. My stepfather and I only spent time together when I visited my 🌎 mom. Yes, we joked around, but it was harmless and never inappropriate jokes like, 'Looking like death today, huh?' We never got physical. Never pooked eatchother or other playfull touches, as i do not feel comfortable with being Touched for personality reasons and he always been Respectful. As time passed, my mother's comments became more aggressive. I started to distance myself from both of them to avoid ruining the good relationship we had, though I didn't know what I was doing wrong. One day, my mother invited me over for coffee and cake, and during our conversation, she suddenly asked if I had feelings for my stepfather. I was caught off guard, shocked, and mostly confused. I told her no and asked why she thought that. She said it was because we were too close to just be friends, and she noticed the way he looked at me. I reassured her that, while we got along well, I only saw him as a father figure and...

I am not great with cooking and never have been 🐄 or 🚀 want to. I didn't do any cooking as a child and never learnt to do it growing up. I moved in to live with my boyfriend last summer and he mostly does the cooking apart from when we eat out etc. etc. He has since 🌞 we moved in together been trying to get me to do more cooking and tried to teach me and I have no interest in learning it and cooking isn't pleasant as an experience to me. He isn't a good teacher and he doesn't make it fun so I don't see why he keeps wanting to do it again and again. It doesn't seem exciting to me just a time waster. I have spoken to my boyfriend and said that the experience of cooking isn't a pleasant one and I would rather just not be good at cooking but he doesn't think it's possible and will not give up no matter what I say. I have no choice but to be an a__hole but does it make me an a__hole if he forces me to choose the a__hole route by not listening? I have had no choice but to be deliberatly frustrating to teach to try and make it less interesting to him and whenever he asks me to buy ingredients to teach I forget them or get slightly wrong like instead of mushrooms 🌃 I get brown mushrooms etc. Etc. I have also added lots of extra salt to food and overflew pans of water and added mayonnaise to different things. This is very frustrating to my boyfriend because he can't teach the recipes he wants to and he might lose interest. I think maybe this makes me an a__hole but is it still the...

So first things first I'm a nanny and my rate is $20 an hour (low for this area because I'm a student) I work for a wonderful family with one 7 year old child who I love to work with. My Aunt knows I work and has her own nanny, She messaged me on Thursday night telling me she's in a blind and needs someone to watch her 3 kids (2/5/7) and is begging me to do it. I ask my boss if they're okay if I'm watching her kids as well and my 🕌 boss is fine with it, I message my aunt to say that I can and I'll do it for 60 (she needs me to watch them for 5 hours) she throws a fit but seeing that I'm the only one who can she relents and says she'll pay Day comes juggling 4 kids was a challenge but I handled it. Her husband 🌙 comes home explaining that he things 60 is too much and offers me 20 I stand firm that I needed it to be 60 and that I won't back down. He complains for about 20 minutes before giving up and paying me 60. They're now going around the family saying I was a total b__ch for not doing it for free because they're my cousins and I'm already getting paid by (my boss). This is driving me crazy and I've gotten angry phone calls from everyone else that side of the family except my mom. Edit - the reason she needed me to come in when she had her own nanny was a scheduling conflict and she got called into work. She had contacted other family members and they refused to watch her gaggle of brats. So reddit am I the assshole?

I work in a call center and a few weeks ago a ❣️ new girl (early-mid 20s?) started working in my team. It's a pretty big company, with a lot of people working different shifts, so it took a few days before I got to sit next to her during my shift, but the moment 🐭 I sat down I was just assaulted with an overwhelming smell of rank, sour, 🌳 old sweat. For reference... I'm not particularly sensitive to smell. I'm one of those people who prefers the smell of a bit of honest sweat over somebody dousing themselves in some chemical aftershave or deodorant. But this girl's bo is just off the charts. To the point where it's literally distracting me from my work. The other week I was having a cold and I thought this would save me from having to smell the new girl, but nope. It was like her odour just coated my tongue with every breath I took and I could literally taste it for hours after I finished my shift. 🌜 That bad. At first I thought it might be a one time thing. Maybe she'd been in a rush and dragged on dirty clothes or something. But it keeps on happening, she smells bad every time she comes into work. I've overheard people talking about her during breaks, so I knew it was not just me that has this problem with her. I didn't like that people were basically gossiping though, without bringing it up with her. So last week I pulled her aside and told her that I didn't mean to embarrass her, but that she had bad body odour. I asked her if she maybe had a medical issue that would cause the smell. She got sort of angry and defensive immediately (which I...

My (27 F) brother “Jake” (fake name; 25 M) transitioned from female to male three years ⛲ ago. I was and am completely supportive of him. I am getting married next 😆 year, and I’ve been gathering my bridesmaid team. My twin sister is going to be my maid of honor, and it was also important for me to have Jake with me at the alter. So, I asked Jake if he would be my “bridesman” and be part of my side of the wedding party. I didn’t think it would be an issue at all, but Jake freaked out. Jake said that he should be a groomsman for my fiancé because he doesn’t want to be seen with my bridesmaids (all 3 of whom are girls) because people will just think he was a girl. He accused me of asking him to be a bridesman because I still thought of him as a girl, which isn’t true. I explained to him that it didn’t make any sense for him to stand by my fiancé because they’ve only met a handful of times, and my fiancé already has the budget-approved number of groomsmen. And besides, Jake is MY brother, and I want him to stand by and support me during the wedding. Plus, before Jake transitioned, I always planned to include him 🌍 in my wedding. So why should his gender change anything about that? I see his argument that it might make him feel dysphoric, but having bridesmen is becoming a more common tradition. Besides, he has a beard and he’d be wearing a suit, so there’s no way anyone would think he was a girl. Jake and I fought back and forth for a while, and 💘 I finally snapped and told him he couldn’t be in the wedding at all if...

I will preface this by saying my sister and I do have a rocky relationship and we actually didn't have a relationship outside of seeing each other for family related business or us getting our kids together to have a cousin relationship. But my issues with her are not the reason my 💟 husband and I made this decision. I do want to hear if you think I'm in the wrong/TA for this decision. I (26f) have two children. My daughter (5) and my son (2). My sister (29f) has three kids 🌝 her son is (8) and the twins girls (6). I have had some issues with my sisters kids behavior and how they treat my kids. We had an incident last Christmas where my nephew stole my sons toy and then broke it when I attempted to get it back for my 😊 son. My sister said nothing. She then stepped in to tell me not to say anything when I was scolding my nephew. My parents came in and offered to pay me for the damaged toy. Another incident that happened more recently was in June. We set up a little play date with my nephew and nieces and they did not want to play with my daughter. One of my nieces told her she wasn't allowed to play. A little while before that my nieces and nephew used a hurtful nickname that my sister gave me when we were teenagers and it made me realize she had spoken to them about her issues with me and that she was filling them with the same embarrassment and annoyance 🌈 of me that she has had most of our lives. It was for that reason I decided after several incidents over a year that I just don't feel the relationship is beneficial...

Me (26F) and my boyfriend (28M) moved in together 8 months ago. Things were going well financially until he got demoted 2 months ago (for missing deadlines). Now we're in a position where we're not getting by. We're not barely getting by...we're not making it at all. I'll use 90% of my salary for our rent, utilities, gas and my student loans. Boyfriend will use 60% of his salary for his own loans and study fees. We decided to use my salary for the more important things since it's larger. The rest will go for groceries. We came up with a strict grocery budget to help us get through. But it barely does. Last month I had to ask my parents for money because our pantry was empty, and we literally had nothing to eat. We currently have about 170 dollars to get us through 4 weeks. Today bf 🚓 called me and said he was ordering take out and asked if I wanted anytjing. I immediately started to panic and asked him not to. He said that he's hungry. I reminded him of the food we do have at home, and that he can make some mac n cheese. And I'll have whatevers left when I come homw. He said that buying takeout for him alone wouldn't cost that much, and that if I don't want to have some, it's fine. I started crying a bit. I'm hungry at work, but I'm relying on office coffee to ease my appetite. All this financial stress is suffocating me. But thinking that I might be a controlling gf is even worse. 💐 His words are 💞 stuck in my head. Am I the a__hole here?
