A Woman Asked Her Husband to Turn Down His Dream Job Because of Her Career. Is She Wrong?

If you haven’t spent a lot of time on Reddit’s “Am I The *sshole” page, you’re missing out.

It’s basically a public forum for everyday people to spill their guts about things in their lives that are bothering them and want to know, as the title implies, whether they are *ssholes because of the situations that went down.

And a woman asked the fine readers at Reddit this question about a situation that arose with her husband.

Here’s what she had to say.

Seems like she has a pretty good gig going on, yes?

Now let’s check out the deal with her husband.

Sounds like her husband hit the jackpot…but there are some major issues involved, as you’re about to see…

If her husband took this position, it could cause big problems for her in her high-paying job.

Hmmmm, sounds like a real conundrum, doesn’t it?

So the woman asked her husband to not even consider the job anymore.

And…it didn’t go very well…

In fact, her husband got very worked up and angry about the whole thing.

And he kept his name in the ring for the job.

The woman felt like her husband betrayed her and she decided to let her co-workers know about the potential issues.

She decided that being straight-up with them was better than them finding out some other way.

And she gave her husband a very serious ultimatum.

This is truly a tough situation for everyone involved.

And you can tell how much it is eating this woman up inside.

What do you think about this?

Is she being selfish about this situation?

A Mom Asked, “Is It Wrong to Give Your Kids a Reality Check About the Responsibilities of Being an Adult?”

We all have dreams for our future when we’re young: the job we want, the house we’ll have, the lifestyle we’ll live. We see the lives of characters in our favorite TV shows and movies, and imagine that could be us someday.

Carrie from Sex and the City managed to afford a New York apartment full of expensive shoes, working as a full-time writer. Why can’t I?

Unfortunately, reality isn’t so simple. Adults have a lot of bills to pay. And that’s what this mom attempted to explain to her daughter, but she was met with some unexpected consequences.

So she took to Reddit to ask, “Am I the a*shole?”

Image Credit: Reddit

Alright, already we can see that her daughter is in a foul mood. Maybe this isn’t the best time for a hard reality check. Then again, is there ever a good time?

Mom sees this as an opening for an important conversation about what adulting actually entails. It’s not all eating ice cream for dinner and staying up way past your bed time.

Image Credit: Reddit

Oh, honey.

While hiring a maid isn’t a bad thing, nor an unreasonable thing for a middle to upperclass household to do, it’s almost laughable to image an 18-year-old right out of high school having that privilege.

It’s too tempting not to pop that bubble.

Image Credit: Reddit

I completely understand where her husband is coming from. The daughter was probably dealing with some other issue or insecurity and it manifested in the form of complaining about chores.

Then again, was the mom wrong to be real with her daughter?

Most people don’t think so.

Image Credit: Reddit

There’s nothing wrong with encouraging your children to pursue their dreams, but to do so without preparing them for the obstacles they’ll face doesn’t do them any good.

Image Credit: Reddit

We shouldn’t wait until a teenager’s senior year of high school to get real with them about all that being an adult entails.

Image Credit: Reddit

I WISH I’d learned some more basic life skills before leaving home for the first time.

Image Credit: Reddit

Her daughter won’t be giggling if she leaves home with little to know idea how to budget.

Image Credit: Reddit

The overwhelming majority think this mom was doing her daughter a favor.

Sometimes being a parent means being the “bad guy,” in your child’s eyes.  In the short-term, her daughter might be upset for a bit, but in the long-term, at least now she knows where to set her expectations.

Do you agree with mom, or do you think she needs to give her kid a break?

A Guy Switched Almond Milk With Real Milk to Get Sweet, Milky Revenge on His Lactose Intolerant Roommate

Roommates can be really terrible.

Even when you very carefully lay down a series of rules designed for peaceful cohabitation, there’s always somebody who thinks they’re above the law of common decency and that those rules need not apply to them. What’s to be done about such people? Do we just grin and bear it? Do we resort to confrontation? Should confrontation fail, what then?

A Reddit user found himself asking these questions when he was forced by circumstance to plot a devious trap for his roommate “R.”

Read on:

Me and 2 other guys share an apartment together and we split all the bills. The only thing we don’t split costs on is groceries. Everyone’s in charge of buying their own food and we don’t touch whatever doesn’t belong to us in the fridge. We put our names on everything so no one gets mixed up.

This issue has been going on almost a year and I’m sick of it.

One of my roommates, R, keeps stealing my food. I get home from work and containers with my leftovers are sometimes missing (they have my name written on it), or my stuff finishes too quick. My gallon of milk for example. I buy almond milk because I like the taste. But it seems to finish after a week even though I’ve only drank once or twice.

Yeah, he’s getting stolen from… for sure!

I confronted R about this lots of times and that’s caused a lot of arguments. He outright denies it and tells me I’m crazy even though it’s so obvious.

Sounds like a class act!

My other roommate and I carpool together because we both work the same early morning shifts around the same area so I know it’s not him. It’s always after we get back home and R’s already left for work that I notice my food’s gone. My roommate’s also had a similar problem but not as often as I do. I’m guessing cause R doesn’t like what he buys.

The funny thing is R buys a lot for himself and is even more stingy about his food. He will literally point out what’s his when he comes back from grocery shopping and tells us not to touch it.

Yeah, sounds typical of an a&&hole…

Last week, my milk was nearly empty again and I got fed up. I went to the liquor store and bought regular dairy milk. I drank what was left of my almond milk and refilled the gallon with the one I bought. This was to catch/prove R is the one stealing since he’s lactose intolerant.

The nxt day, Saturday, we get back from work and R is pissed. He yelled at me that he was stuck in the bathroom for 40 mins with diarrhea because of my milk; he was using it to make a shake. I only responded with “So then you’re the one who’s been stealing?”

What happened next? Oh… boy… howdy…

He freaking exploded. Yeah he admitted he was “sometimes” drinking my milk and eating my food but he was more mad that I switched milks than the fact that he was caught. I told him I wouldn’t have done that if he’d just stopped taking my stuff from the fridge or at least told the truth instead of tryna make it seem like I was making it up.

My roommate backed me up and thought it was kinda funny he got payback for stealing from us. It’s a little tense rn and my roommate told me R is trying to convince him to agree to kick me out. Little does he know we’re both looking to move somewhere else together cause we are sick of his shit.

I told some buddies what happened and a few think I was an asshole for that. I feel like I’m not in the wrong here. He was taking my food and not even owning up to it and I wanted to prove it, does that make me TA?

This was, of course, posted to the infamous forum “Am I The A**hole,” in which scenarios like this are posed and a sea of random Reddit jurors determine who exactly is the a**hole. What did they decide? Let’s find out.

1. Most agreed, he’s in the clear.

Source: r/AmITheAsshole

2. Turns out this might be more common than you’d think.

Source: r/AmITheAsshole

3. And how dumb was this roommate?

Source: r/AmITheAsshole

4. The entire prospect of roommates is flawed.

Source: r/AmITheAsshole

5. It’s a question of severity.

Source: r/AmITheAsshole

6. This about sums it up.

Source: r/AmITheAsshole

7. Good thing it didn’t go too wrong though…

Source: r/AmITheAsshole

8. This guy’s asking the real questions.

Source: r/AmITheAsshole

9. Meg here took it a step further.

Source: r/AmITheAsshole

10. Bottom line: ya did good, but it could have been bad.

Source: r/AmITheAsshole

So before you go taking similar revenge on a bad roommate, maybe check and make sure you’re not going to, yanno, severely injure them with your little prank. That would be a much less funny story.

But what do you think about this situation?

A Stepdad Wanted to Know If He Was Wrong to Try to Protect His Sons From the Reality of Menstruation

Menstruation is a fact of life, and anyone who cohabitates with a female between the ages of 10 and 50(ish) at any point of their lives, for any reason, can expect to have to deal with the entire process on some level.

A fact that apparently didn’t occur to this man or his three older teenaged sons when he married a woman with a nineteen-year-old daughter.

The four of them share a bathroom, everyone gets along great, but this is their first time living with a woman for any sort of time.

Image Credit: Reddit

His oldest son, 18 (!) came to him and said they were uncomfortable seeing their stepsister’s period products in the trash can in the shared bathroom.

Instead of telling his son it’s a part of life and to suck it up, he talked to his stepdaughter, asking her to dispose of them more discreetly (or flush them, what?!).

Image Credit: Reddit

He was upset that she laughed it off, and even went on the offensive, and was even more irritated when his wife did the same later that night.

Image Credit: Reddit

Since he believed it was a real issue, he tried to talk to his daughter again, and was rebuffed with extreme prejudice.

Image Credit: Reddit

You will not be surprised to find that most on Reddit think OP (original poster) is, in fact, the a**hole here, a judgement that also extends to his sons.

Many people thought he’d missed a chance to help educate his sons on a natural process, and how to be better men.

Image Credit: Reddit

Others pointed out that the sons seem pretty immature for their age, and never having lived with a woman is really no excuse for not being educated about how to.

Image Credit: Reddit

And pointed out that it’s best they learn about this kind of thing from a sister, and not after they’ve treated their first girlfriend or wife like some kind of leper.

Image Credit: Reddit

Others lamented the fact that way too many men are weird about feminine products.

Image Credit: Reddit

And yeah, I’m sure that girl has more than a few complaints of her own, suddenly sharing a bathroom with three teenaged boys, so I’m not sure they should be the ones complaining.

Image Credit: Reddit

OP did post an update, in which he admits that his stepdaughter and wife sat them down for an excellent PowerPoint, and that all is well.

Image Credit: Reddit

They even apologized.

This is about the happiest ending of an Am I The A**hole post I could imagine, and I love to see it!

A Woman Wants to Know If She Was Wrong to Propose to Her Girlfriend at Her Homophobic Sister’s Baby Shower

A proposal is supposed to be a personal moment between two lovers. It’s about their future together and it’s not really about anyone else, but in recent years, the grand gesture has eclipsed the quiet one asking for somebody’s hand in marriage.

This woman decided to ask her girlfriend to spend the rest of her life together at her sister’s baby shower.

Her sister who she knew doesn’t really approve of her lesbian relationship.

Image Credit: Reddit

Even though no one disagreed that her sister and family are sh*tty for not supporting her sexuality and her long-term relationship, everyone was also pretty much in agreement that someone else’s celebration is not the time to hog the spotlight.

Image Credit: Reddit

Others pointed out that her now-fiancee also has reasons to be upset, seeing as her girlfriend used their special moment to get in a dig at her family.

Image Credit: Reddit

While others pointed out that proposing in front of a crowd is a good way to pressure the other person into saying yes, and if it had happened to them, they would be having a serious chat with OP (original poster).

Image Credit: Reddit

And we can all agree that rubbing something in your family’s face is not a good reason to propose at all.

Image Credit: Reddit

And we’re all cringing just so hard, and we weren’t even there.

Image Credit: Reddit

I’ve gotta agree with everyone on Reddit on this one – she’s definitely TA (The A**hole), and I’d hope her partner asks for some serious discussions before wedding plans proceed.

A Woman Cut off Her Parents After Learning They Lied to Her About Allergies Her Entire Life

Relationships can be tough, and sometimes the ones with family are even more complicated than the romantic or friendship-types you choose on your own. It’s tougher to call it quits with family, honestly, because there are all kinds of complicated feelings that go along with the people who are supposed to love and protect you choosing not to do that.

This man, though, decided it was time to cut his parents completely out of her life, only to second guess himself after the fact.

As a child, he followed a strict diet like everyone else in the house. He never got sweets or treats, he was careful, he carried his EpiPen.

Image Credit: Reddit

Then one day, he accidentally took a brownie from the wrong plate at his aunt’s house and nothing happened.

Image Credit: Reddit

His mother tried to explain it away but he went and got an allergy test anyway, finding out at 19 that he’d never had any allergies.

Image Credit: Reddit

His mother doubled down, saying it was for his own good and look how healthy he is, how he doesn’t care about carbs, but he still isn’t talking to her – and he wants to know if he’s wrong.

Image Credit: Reddit

The short answer is, of course he’s not TA (The A**hole) here. 

It’s not cool for someone to put stress about death on a kid for no reason, for one thing.

Image Credit: Reddit

Most people agree that, until she can admit she was wrong, he shouldn’t give in and talk to her again.

Image Credit: Reddit

And gave him props for his independent thinking as a young adult.

Image Credit: Reddit

They also pointed out that continuing the ruse into his adulthood could have had permanent consequences, so they obviously didn’t have his best interests at heart.

Image Credit: Reddit

Short, sweet, and to the point.

Image Credit: Reddit

Would you ever do a thing like this to you kid to keep them healthy? I guess it’s easier than teaching them to eat right, but man – I just think it’s wrong!

Was a Lawn-Obsessed Woman Responsible for Killing Pets? The Internet Has an Opinion.

Terrible neighbors can range from an unwanted annoyance to the reason you leave behind a dream home. The only thing worse than a neighbor who you find irritating is a neighbor you’re worried might be actively endangering you or the things you care about.

That, apparently, is the situation that Reddit user tdog945 found themselves in when they took to r/AmITheAsshole to get some perspective.

AITA? Suing my neighbor after she sprayed weedicide on my lawn from AmItheAsshole

So, what did Reddit think? Was OP in the right, or was the girlfriend correct in saying they’re turning this into a bigger deal than it is?

The answer was overwhelmingly…

1. Yeah, no, that Karen is wrong.

Source: r/AskReddit

2. Apparently this is something that happens a lot.

Source: r/AskReddit

3. The basic tenant of “no trespassing” certainly seems to apply.

Source: r/AskReddit

4. OP got a lot of love.

Source: r/AskReddit

5. Many believed a lawsuit was indeed the right way to go.

Source: r/AskReddit

6. Always expect the unexpected on r/AmItheAsshole.

Source: r/AskReddit

7. Literally get off my lawn, said all.

Source: r/AskReddit

8. Nobody was buying that the neighbor had no liability here.

Source: r/AskReddit

9. Beware people who do “nice” things for their own purposes.

Source: r/AskReddit

10. However…not everyone was sure OP had the cause and effect right.

Source: r/AskReddit

It’s hard to say in this case whether or not the neighbor was truly responsible for endangering or killing OP’s pets. When the thread got closed down they were apparently awaiting some kind of toxicology report to confirm. Either way, I think we can all agree, don’t go screwing with other peoples’ homes.

But what do you think about all this?

Chime in in the comments.

A Woman Wants to Know If She Was Wrong for Humiliating Her Brother-In-Law in Public

Just reading the headline for this post, you might be thinking this woman was in the wrong. Humiliating anyone isn’t typically the way to go, as it has more downsides than upsides, but like with all of the posts on the subreddit Am I The A**hole, you might want to hear her out.

This woman begins by saying that her brother-in-law is a know-it-all and blowhard who isn’t as smart as his family has always promised him he was. She’s annoyed by his misogynistic tendencies and his lack of ability to hear anyone but himself.

He also never admits when he’s wrong.

Image Credit: Reddit

They were at a dinner and he was spouting about the stock market, and though OP (original poster) thought it sounded wrong, she didn’t really know.

Image Credit: Reddit

What she did know was that her friend, who was an expert, was at the table. She hadn’t heard, so OP asked her BIL to repeat everything for her sake.

Which was when sh*t went down, he got taken down a bung of pegs, and ran off with his tail between his legs.

Image Credit: Reddit

Things haven’t been the same at family functions since then. Her husband wants her to apologize, and with time between the incident and now, she feels like maybe she was being petty.

Image Credit: Reddit

This is maybe one of the more balanced posts I’ve seen on the forum, as far as how people are voting.

Many people say she’s NTA (Not The A**hole), but if she egged him on, she might want to apologize anyway, just because they’re family and it might make things easier.

Image Credit: Reddit

While other people say she’s NTA because she did him a favor in calling out his narcissistic behavior, something no one who has “cared” about him has ever done before then.

Image Credit: Reddit

Or maybe NTA because it was just a little nudge, right?

Image Credit: Reddit

Some people are just shouting NTA! from the rooftops. Ha!

Image Credit: Reddit

While others pointed out that really, this seems like a win/win.

Image Credit: Reddit

Okay, fine, so maybe the opinions aren’t as split as I might have indicated…do you think they should be?

Where do you come down on this one?

Careful, because if you sympathize with this guy, Reddit says you might be a narcissist, too…

A Woman Asked If She’s Wrong to Take a Spare Key Back From Friend She Found Snooping in Her House

I have friends who’ve given people spare keys before to let out their dog and they later found out that the person they trusted had been digging around their house while they were gone.

That’s just a huge NO-NO in my book, so I wasn’t surprised when they took the keys away from their s0-called friends and those relationships definitely suffered because of it.

A woman took to Reddit’s “Am I the Asshole?” thread and asked the folks on that forum to ask if she was wrong for taking a spare key away from her friend who she unexpectedly surprised in her own home.

Read the story below and we’ll see you on the other side to discuss this situation.

AITA for taking away my friend’s spare key after she went into my house without permission from AmItheAsshole

First of all, I’m not really sure I even believe her story about trying to find her necklace. Secondly, what consenting adults choose to do in their own homes in no one’s business.

People on Reddit had a lot of thoughts about this story.

This reader definitely did not think that she was in the wrong and believes that the whole situation seems a little…fishy…

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another person responded that her “friend” who had the spare key broke the sacred bond of trust and that no one should ever snoop around another person’s home.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Another commenter recommended changing the locks ASAP…which is a pretty good idea.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Here’s another take: this reader seems to think that the whole interaction was set up to be an intervention about the homeowner’s lifestyle choices.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And finally, this person believes that the woman who used to have the spare key needs to apologize and atone for her discretions or else the friendship should be terminated.

Photo Credit: Reddit

What do you think?

Was her friend way out of line or did this woman overreact a little bit to her friend who is concerned about her?

Let us know what you think in the comments, please!

A Mom Wants to Know if She’s Wrong for Stopping Breastfeeding After Her Baby Started Biting

Breastfeeding is natural, but as someone who did it for a collective 22-ish months, I promise you that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. There are challenges, from pain to frustration to supply issues, and once you think you’ve got it all figured out and you’ve settled into a routine, your beautiful little angel gets teeth.

My first baby bit me once or twice, didn’t like my screeching reaction, and quit.

Image Credit: Pexels

My second baby was a biter from the very beginning, and once he had teeth, he wouldn’t stop. I tried. I persisted through six weeks of bloody nipples and tubes of Neosporin before throwing in the towel around 9 months.

Through two kids, my husband voiced no opinion on my nursing. I wanted to? Great! I wanted to supplement? Let’s do it!

If he had been this woman’s husband, who thinks she should be nursing through biting baby that won’t quit, I doubt we would still be married.

She nursed their daughter for 10 months but is now struggling with biting. She’s had to take breaks from breastfeeding because of sore nipples, but is still pumping. When that’s too painful, she supplements with formula.

Or at least, she did before her husband HID THE FORMULA.

AITA for not breastfeeding my baby because she bites? from AmItheAsshole

Now, I probably don’t need to tell you that absolutely no one on this thread thinks this woman is any kind of a**hole.

Image Credit: Reddit

Many people think her husband is borderline abusive.

Image Credit: Reddit

Or that he should try nursing the little biting baby himself, perhaps.

Image Credit: Reddit

That she needs to assert herself, claim her body and feed her baby however is best for both of them.

Image Credit: Reddit

Many people encouraged her to stop feeling guilty, with reminders that nursing for 10 months is an amazing accomplishment and there is no shame in using formula to finish out her daughter’s first year.

Image Credit: Reddit

This guy needs to take a long walk off a short pier, if you ask me (and everyone on Reddit).

Men, do not do this. However your smart, loving, dedicated wife tells you she’s going to feed your kid, be supportive. I promise that, with all of the pressure to breastfeed, she’s considered her options carefully – or tried very hard to make it work – before making a decision.
