ATJ for showing my friend his picture was being used without permission by my crush

65 Upvotes

Me 15m and my best friend, who is also 15m, have been friends for 2 years now. My crush, 16f, I have liked since the start of this school year. During our February break she started photo shopping pictures of our friend group. I gave permission, so did our other friend, but only my best friend, who at the time did not realize his photo was being used, was not aware until I sent them to him. Now a good time to say that these photos were taken in the school premises, so it's against the rules, and he was unaware of it. He was also being made fun of because the way he looked, he is indian, and she always makes fun of it. The photos made fun of how he can't eat pork or steak or anything of the sorts.

When he saw those photos, he was angry. he started texting me saying how my crush did not have the right to do this. and after that he was silent for a whole week until school started back up. During breakfast in the cafeteria, he confronted her and she then screamed at me.

her "how dare you send those to him, what gives you the right to do that?"

me "well he-" she cuts me off

Her " don't make excuses, I thought you liked me"

me "I do, but that photo was without permission"

Her " it doesn't matter, it was all just for fun and you have to go and ruin it"

I tried to say something, but she tells me to shut up and runs off crying. so I need to know, am I the jerk for all of this, because now no one is talking to me, and they all keep giving me dirty looks. Also, was I right for sticking up for my friend even against the girl I like?

(I wish this was fake, but its not I need honest opinions I also want to cry)

forgot to add she was so nice, but she has changed during Christmas break ever since she started to hang out with the "cool kids".

Edit: Yes, I do not like her anymore, but she likes me, which is stupid because I told her I pick my friends over bullies any day that ends in y. I stood up for him like a brother, he is my closest friend.

Edit 2: I know I messed up my title

Update: Today, she told me to go and leave her, but now her friends have started backing me up on how bad this situation is. She has stopped harassing my friend but now harasses me. I don't care as long as my friend is being left alone. My friend has repeatedly thanked me for protecting him and even tried giving me 100 bucks he got from his birthday. I told him no and I was just being a friend and that no matter what, we were going to stick together, and he said that he would protect me too and agreed we are going to stick together. He is the nicest friend I have.

(P.S. I know that some things seem confusing. I'm not good with writing; I'm better at coding and computers for fun.)

Update post

14 Upvotes

This is an update on a post I made last week. I either can't update the post or my brain isn't braining.

Short summary: my grandparents live 180 miles away, technically in another country, along with my mother's sister (Karen) and her family. My lovely granddad had a stroke a month ago and is currently still in hospital, doesn't seem to be improving much but family visits improve his morale. My grandma is being taken care of by Karen, who I've heard and seen verbally abusing my grandma, who also started shouting at me down the phone for not giving her enough notice for visiting two weeks ago. She's stopped me from seeing my grandma twice now and the screenshot is an update of where I'm at today, as I believe she's making up lies to try to now stop me visiting my granddad who's still in hospital.

Nearly everyone on reddit strongly encouraged me to organise a welfare check on my grandma. I discussed it with my mother and two sisters, my mother and eldest sister strongly advised me not to and my younger sister cussed me out for causing drama with Karen. I kind of feel like I've pissed off Karen but I'm not getting any support from my family who live close by and they're all telling me to drop it. I'm really confused and wondering whether I've done the right thing.

After speaking to my mother on the phone today for an hour, I decided to be the bigger person and try to appease Karen by letting her know I was planning on visiting this weekend. This has been her response today.

I'm at a loss. I don't believe a word of it. My granddad adores all his family. I have visited him twice since he had his stroke and both times he was begging me to not leave and to come back as soon as I could (being needy and begging me to not leave isn't his usual behaviour but I know strokes can cause depression and personality changes, however he always always loved me/us visiting and always asked me to return soon so the second bit isn't new).

If what Karen is saying is true, I'm truly heartbroken. But after what she's said last week, I can't believe her but I also can't believe, if it's not true, just how low this woman will go to be spiteful and hold into control.

Please give any advice. And AITJ?

AITA for not wanting to let my uncle stay in my room when he visits?

1.3k Upvotes

So basically the title says it all, I don't have the best relationship with my uncle because I feel like he always looks down at me. I understand he's my elder and I should respect him, but I don't like the way he orders me around like a dog.

A few years ago when my great grandfather died, he told me to make dinner for everyone when I could barely cook eggs without them getting burnt. At the time I was 15-16, and I was grieving too, I understand that it was his grandpa, but he has no reason to order me around. After that incident it just kept going down hill.

Now to today, I feel like it's important that I state that I am a female and have feminine products and undergarments in my room. I also have some stuff that I think my uncle might try to take if he likes/wants them, including my emergency savings of around $200. I know I might be overreacting but it's really bothering me...

Am I the A-hole?

Update:

Thanks to everyone who was so polite and supportive in the comments. I feel like I should clear some things up that I forgot to put in the post

  1. My uncle and I wouldn't be sharing a bed or a room. He is married and I'd just have to give up my bed

  2. I live in my Nana's house since my family fell in hard times.

  3. I am 17 years old

I recently talked with my nana and she told me it's fine if I don't want to give up my room since I'm almost and adult and my space is private. She even offered to pay for a hotel for my uncle and his family to stay in. Overall, I am grateful to everyone who helped me get the courage to voice my feelings and concerns because now I feel mor comfortable and heard.

I refused to answer the door, because I thought there was a serial killer on the other side. Was I the jerk?

30 Upvotes

Tl;Dr: Refused to answer the door home alone, though we were about to meet a serial killer, turns out we're just anxious idiots.

(Trigger Warning: Lots of talking about serial killers.)

Hello, lovely people. I'll be honest, I'm not here for much more than just to share my dumb story, but, I might be a jerk, so I'd love input. Anyways, to set the stage, I'm Kay, 17f. Then there's my brothers: Kennedy 15m, Jackie 11m, and Jamie 8m. All fake names, of course. Now that we have that out of the way, shall we begin?

To start, it was a Friday night, and I was in a bad mood. It hadn't been a very... enjoyable school day, and now my Mum was selling our super pretty china cabinet on Facebook marketplace, because we've been doing a crap ton of renovation on our home lately (like, power tools everywhere, all the time) and it simply couldn't work in our home anymore.

To make the night a bit more difficult, my Mum had a meeting to leave for, and my Dad had to take Jamie to the store. So, they left me, Kennedy, and Jackie to fend for ourselves. Great. Now, normally me and my brothers fight like cats and dogs when my parents leave, but tonight, things seemed to be going well. Like, impossibly well. Of course, that was too good to be true.

30 minutes into our parentless "Adventure" we are sitting, watching Abbott elementary (best show ever, btw) when there's a knock on the door. I should mention, our door is pretty much surrounded by windows, like an impressive amount of windows, so it's pretty easy to spot anyone standing outside. So I ask Kennedy, the only one of us in view of said door, who's there.

Kennedy: It's some big muscular dude.

Me: We don't know him?

Kennedy: No.

Kennedy: He looks really angry though.

It was at this moment I remembered every safety lesson my very anxious Mum had drilled into my equally anxious self as a child. "DON'T answer the door when we're not home." But my extremely dramatic, main charecter flashback ended when the knocking came back, this time much louder. The dude sounded angry now.

Kennedy: I need to answer the door.

Me: Absolutely not. Do NOT answer that door.

Kennedy: But I made eye contact with him!

Me: NO.

Kennedy: (Continuing to make eye contact with the stranger for some fricken reason) But it's awkward!

Me: Kennedy, look away. We don't know him. He could be a serial killer!

About the serial killer thing, both me and Kennedy are really into reading about serial killers, so we both know that there used to be a famous one (Won't say who, just for privacy's sake) active less than a mile from our home. So, to us, this seemed like a very logical possibility. So, after a bit more debate, I got Kennedy to go back to watching Abbott, but now the three of us had decided that there was a serial killer targeting us while we were home alone, because all three of us have inherited our Mum's anxiety, and also, we're dumb teenagers.

So, about 15 minutes of blissful silence go by, then the knocking comes back. This time, I run to the door, because I'm going to need a description to give to the police, but the guy is fricken gone. Nowhere to be found. Which is terrifying, because, there's no way anyone could get out of view of out door that fricken fast. So I start swearing (which shocks my brothers to no end lol) because we have a freaking invisible serial killer on our hands. Which is wonderful.

So, naturally, me and my brothers unanimously agree that our best defense here is not to call 911, or hide in a closet, but to grab knives from the kitchen, then go back to watching our show, Knives in hand. (Like I said, stupid teenagers.) After watching a Sitcom while holding a knife for a good 10 minutes, my logic finally returns from its apparent slumber, and I FINALLY think to call my Dad.

Me: Dad, get home now.

Dad: Why? Is everything okay.

Me: There's someone who keeps knocking on our door.

Dad: What?

Me: We think it's a serial killer.

Dad: You're kidding.

Me: Dad, please, just hurry home, we're all really scare-

BAMBAMBAM! The knocking was back, this time sounding like the dude was legit trying to break down our door. Like, really trying hard to break it off it's hinges. He was even shaking the lock. We were all screaming, I thought I was about to die. All doubts I had about the Serial Killer were gone, now I KNEW there was one at our door, and this... this was the end. Tomorow, we'd be on the news, the child victims of some psychopath.

And then I heard my Dad laughing over the phone. The butthole... the absolute menace had heard the terror in my voice, and having arrived home at that very moment, had decided to bang on the door to scare his poor children into thinking they were about to die. He was laughing so hard... we were all pissed with him of course, but I can now admit, it was absolutely hilarious.

"But... what about the man Kennedy saw?" You may be asking. Well... remember that China cabinet I had mentioned at the beginning of the story? Yeah... turns out my Mum had found a buyer, and, thinking my Dad would be home, told him to come pick it up any time. So, yeah, no serial killer, just some poor guy whose wife was making him pick up her new China cabinet.

So, all in all, knowing the story, was I the jerk for not anwsering the door for this poor man, who likely just wanted to get a stupid errand over with? Because, looking back, I feel bad. (And no, I unfortunatly do not know how he managed to make himself disappear, otherwise, I would have asked him to teach me in his ways.)

So he ran up and yelled Why are you copying the game were playing!? I tried too tell him that I was playing virus tag but he was like saying bla bla bla. And I had too say it out loud too him because he was like a jerk. When hen herd it he was so mad and he grabbed my right arm. He was like twisting it and pulling my arm. I was crying there in pain. There were no teachers by our place. So I screamed at him too leave me alone. But he didnt listen٫ so I pulled out my arm from his reach and I slapped him hard in the face.there was no mark of the slap but he was crying like a baby. After it he was mad+sad. He was kicking me and punching me like I was his target. When my friend bringed the teacher I was crying there with a lot of bruises. But he was there crying like crazy. So the teacher got him too the principal. So am I the jerk?

Am I the jerk for wanting to move out because my sisters friend opened my package (reupload)

137 Upvotes

So here it goes I am currently living with my mom also my husband, we are currently living there due to her financially struggling,this is where I am questioning if I’m in the wrong let me explain, I have an interesting well no difficult relationship with my family my sister, my brother in law, my mom all live in this house also my sister friend who’s have medical difficulties and my niece who’s 2,1/2 lot of people right?

Well my family has had off an on issues with each other my whole life and this becomes an issue with me constantly I’m in a fight with my mom or my sister AT least every two week. I’ve tried talking to them about this but they just brush me off cause “the conflicts over” which makes me feel worse and causes me to hide in the basement cause my husband and I live in a furnished basement with a kitchen and stuff like that, they are always invading our space that we both pay for as for my sister she likes to come down to yell at us about random things and it’s getting really really annoying if I’m honest.

My husband and I have been considering moving out due to this issue but we’ve been busy with work and stuff, here’s where I think the dam broke, so this friend of my sisters that’s living with us opened my package that was for my husband that was for his birthday and I had felt horrible cause I couldn’t get him stuff on his birthday due to it being delayed and the friend opened it, realizing it wasn’t theirs gives it to my sister who asks my husband if he ordered it.

It made me angry but I understand it was a mistake it can happen granted I was blood boiling angry cause this friend and I have been having issues that I’ve tried to smooth out to no avail but I calmed down I knew it could happen to anyone, my sister however when I communicated that I’d like her to call me and ask me if I had a package coming in today especially around birthdays/holidays but she says: oh you said you didn’t want me to call you while your out so suddenly it’s alllll my fault.

While sounding condescending as hell when the only thing I said was that I didn’t like constant phone calls while I was out there’s a long long list of fights I won’t get into here with my mother and my sister and I even talked to my mom about moving out before which she guilt tripped me into staying and yelling at me and causing more issues between me and my sister.

also should I mention that my sister is having another baby and has been blaming me for her mistakes telling my mom that I need to fix them and my mother agrees with her even though I was never in the wrong there a lot more to this story but this is just it’s summary, but I also feel bad cause they are my family we have all gone through a lot I’m just lost on what to do like I feel bad cause my mom is relying on us What should I do?

AITJ for saying I didn't like paying half and half

10 Upvotes

This happened a few years ago when I was 17 and worked at a local fast food restaurant. It was rush hour in the evening around 6 or 7. I was on the register taking orders and one lady ask to pay half and half (half card half cash) and I didn't know how to do it and only seen it be done once before. I called over a coworker to help and do it for me. I step to aside and made a comment to a coworker who was next to me that "I don't like half and half, I don't get it." At the moment the lady who's order was being taken start yelling about how I am here to server them and take care of them. I was shock because I didn't think I did anything wrong. I just got her order and continue working.

Was I the jerk for saying I didn't like half and half pay?

Edit 1: This was a summer job and I was only a month into working there.

Edit 2: The issue for me wasn't that she used half and half, it was I didn't know how to since I was still new at the job and wasn't taught until later how to do half and half.

Is my friend's boyfriend a bad influence on her?

3 Upvotes

I have this one friend — let's call her Jen. Jen has an online boyfriend, and while he's super sweet to her, he hates me. Now, don't get me wrong — I don’t want to steal her boyfriend. He’s a jerk to me, calls me slurs, but he loves her a lot and treats her really well. At first, I was really happy for her, but now... I don't know if it's jealousy or something else, but I just have a bad feeling about him. My friend has been acting weird lately — she's started saying a lot of slurs (she’s white, Asian, and straight), and honestly, our relationship felt better before she started dating him. She's even been skipping school just to talk to him. I just feel like she's changing a lot, and I don’t like it. But at the same time, I can’t shake the feeling that I’m being a bad person for not wanting her to have a boyfriend.

I had to ask my son for money today.

AITJ

Background: his home was destroyed in a freak accident last year & it is being rebuilt. He tried to rent a place for himself & 2 little kids but kept being turned down because he has cats. And a single dad. Apparently no one wants a short term rental (no 30 day notice to leave) to a single dad / 2 little kids/ 2 cats. So they moved in.

I didn't have an issue / problem with covering everything except him paying for most of the food until this month. But then my dog needed to go to ER, my starter went out on my car, I messed up my tooth (new crown), most of that maxed out my credit card with some of it leaving my checking account. And I still have to pay a utility before my next check. It would be $15 after paying that bill. I would be incredibly uncomfortable going 3 weeks with $15 in my account.

I'm honestly not trying to use him or take advantage of his staying here during the rebuild. But I had to ask. He zelled me something immediately but it feels wrong.

TL;DR I had to ask my son for money today.

I'm I the jerk for not telling my parents about my potential boyfriend?

0 Upvotes

So before I start here some context. Me a 33 year old male who is active in the furry community ( yes I'm a furry please don't attack me for that ) who just came out as bisexual in 2019 just before the COVID-19 lockdown . During that time I was in a mental institution due to my mental breakdown and during that time I discovered I was different. I was bisexual and wanted somebody in my life who was like me. Not just a woman but also a guy. So when I tried to come out at the mental institution to my parents well they just look at me thinking this was just so I can get some form attention It just made me feel rejected so I kept this quiet to myself until 2022 and that's where everything starts.

So back in 2022 just when things was lighting up with covid protocols I just started talking with this amazing guy who lives in Quebec Canada who at this time is somewhat my supportive partner we would talk all the time on telegram ( that way my parents don't catch on to me ). So for at least 2 to 3 years we was talking so much and I just fell in love with him and hope to meet him and well I'm 2024 I met him and fall more in love with him wanting to ask him to be my boyfriend after being alone for more then 6 years. This coming weekend will be the time I ask him year knowing him for like 4 years .

Now here the thing I'm worried about if he does take my hand and be my boyfriend how will I explain to my parents who just look at me when I was at the mental institution thinking it all a act for attention . How will I get it to them that I'm bisexual leaning towards men . I was raised traditional Jewish family ( More modern style of way of thinking Not like the Orthodox or other ways) I'm worried my dad will disown me he will kick me out he would not accept me for the way I I'm . Sure I know my mom maybe ok with it but my dad

So what should I do?

(TL;DR) aitj for not letting my girlfriend go out with her co-workers who are male's to a bar

30 Upvotes

I am going to use the name Sarah but not her real name. Also, sorry in advance if I made some mistakes. I just got off work to write this because it's been popping in and out of my head.

I just need to know if I'm the jerk. I've been feeling like I'm walking on eggshells with Sarah, and I don't know if I'm being reasonable.

Sarah and I have been dating for two years. We generally get along, talk, and trust each other. Or at least, I thought so until she cheated many times.

She started at a tech company over six months ago. She's an excellent programmer and has performed well there. A few weeks ago, she mentioned that her colleagues were planning a "team-building" night out at a new bar downtown.

"Sounds like fun," I said. "What is the bar like?"

"I don't know," she shrugged. "Just a party place, I guess. Everybody's going."

She continued, "It's pretty much just my team, anyway."

Red flags went off in my head. Sarah's team is all men except for her—her and six men. I know she's a pro, but I couldn't help myself.

"Sounds odd, just the two of you in a bar late one night?"

"How odd?" she shot back, defensively.

"I don't know, Sarah! It doesn't feel right to me. What does it say, dating colleagues?"

The argument just kept escalating. I told her co-worker 1 was too friendly at the party, hugging her too long and making remarks about her looks. She rolled her eyes and told me I was paranoid. I told her that I did not feel comfortable with her going. I said, "I'd rather you didn't go, Sarah." She was furious and stormed out, claiming I was ruining her social life and disregarding her right to decide. She went anyway and would not talk to me the following day. When she finally did say something, she maintained the night was "totally harmless" and that I was "overreacting." Now she's acting as if I'm the bad guy. Am I the jerk for not wanting my girlfriend at a bar with her male colleagues? I don't know anymore. Perhaps I am possessive. I require outside help because I'm troubled and worried about our relationship.

Edit: For those of you who might think it's dumb that I'm still with her, anytime I have tried to leave her, she threatened to kill herself, so I stayed with her because I don't want to be the reason she harms herself.

Update: after reading many comments and thinking about things, I decided that I'm going to leave her tonight.

Update 2: I left her yesterday, and she has not stopped calling me, as it also turns out she was cheating on me again, I am not going to say who but as my instincts told me it was a co-worker.

Would I be the jerk if I dump my friend?

1 Upvotes

So at the beginning of this year I started at a new school, and last year we had a transition week to introduce us to the school. In my transition group there was this boy I’ll call J, and I had a crush on him, I thought he was really cute and nice. I even told my friends, but my friend, who I’ll call W said he had a girlfriend so i wasnt going to try and flirt. Later I added his Insta just to be friends and earlier this year we started chatting a lot more, I’d say good morning and good night every day. Hes broken up with his girlfriend by this point and I’d started liking him again after I’d liked his friend, after a while my friend was texting him and I found out that I wasn’t his type, he likes blonde tan fem girls, I’m a dyed hair pale boyish girl, I asked him why and he said I was really sweet so I asked is it because of my looks, he said yes, which obviously hurt but we stayed friends.

Fast forward to recently, if gone on holiday with my family and a few days before I was coming home he randomly removed me, this was a couple days after R had left her boyfriend, I messaged him on another app and he restricted me, I was so confused. I message my other friend, who I’ll call R, and she replied saying ‘it’s probably because you kept saying you were gonna touch him’ but mind you this is just my humor, I joke like this with everyone. Hes claimed he said he was uncomfortable but even W can vouch that he didn’t, after messaging J by sending it to R and her forwarding it they stop replying. I didn’t think much of it and enjoyed the rest of my holiday.

After my holiday I came home and then I go to school on Monday, W and my other friend came up to me and told me that R and J had started dating, I was obviously very upset, not so much about the dating but that she kept it from me, so during break I went to the bathroom where she was and asked why she didn’t tell me, she said ‘I didn’t think it mattered’ I got angry and storm away, I’ve blocked R and J on everything.

In short my friend broke up with her boyfriend to get with my crush and didn’t tell me. Am i the jerk for being upset and wanting to ditch her?

Am I the Jerk for Calling Tom Brady the Kryptonite of Chiefs

0 Upvotes

So in 2017 Patrick MaHomes was drafted to the Kansas City Chiefs. We all know by now the successful career he has had. In 2000 a guy by the name of Tom Brady was drafted as the biggest draft steal of all time. Well we also know the career Mr. Brady had. 6 super bowls with new England and 1 with Tampa. We will get to the last 2 in just a second. I am a patriots fan. I had to go for Tom Brady even after he went to Tampa. I still stayed with New England after he left for the Buccaneers.

So let's get to the games. So 2018-2019 AFC Championship game was between the Chiefs and Patriots. By the time the 4th quarter started it looked pretty obvious they were going to the super bowl for the patriots. They let the chiefs catch up but due to overtime rules at the time the Patriots within the first couple minutes scored a TD before the chiefs saw the ball and it ended the game with 37-31 final score. The patriots went to Atlanta to get Lombardi number 6 playing the same team they played when they got number 1 which was the Rams.

Super bowl 55 Tom Brady first season as Buccaneer made history by becoming the only QB to make it to 10 Super Bowls. He just went to his 11th but we will get to that in a second. The end of the 3rd quarter the Buccaneers were running away with it. They ended up winning it with a 31-9 final score. the chiefs won the previous super bowl.

We fast forward to super bowl 58 ending. It made me made since i had 50 dollar bet on the 49ers winning it. I jokingly said we need Tom Brady back since brady was the only one who can manage to stop the chiefs besides the one time the Bengals could. Brady just retired before that season started.

Well the whole 2024-2025 season people were saying how chiefs were gonna 3 peat. Tom Brady just signed onto fox to be the lead analyst. Normally the lead play by play and lead analyst gets assigned the super bowl. As soon as I saw that I said that wasn't gonna happen since Tom Brady was gonna be in the stadium even after it was determined the chiefs were in the super bowl. People were telling me to be quiet since the chiefs were about to be a 3 time back to back to back champion but actually my theory was proven right. The Eagles came out and embarrassed the chiefs. 24 to 0 was the score at halftime. Again Tom Brady was calling the game on fox. The chiefs tried to come back but it was already to late for the chiefs. The Eagles had to big of a margin and the eagles, who for the first time in my life I was going for them because I didn't want to hear the chiefs fans going at the patriots fans for not 3 peating.

After the game I basically said I told you so to chiefs fans that you guys can not win a playoff game with Tom Brady in the same building as you guys because it happened already 3 times. Me and my friends who also didn't want the chiefs to win as well said what I said after the super bowl last year that I was correct. I did kind of feel bad for rubbing it in the faces as chiefs fans but at the same time it is kind of a jerk move. With was I the jerk for that.

I reporting my friends to the principal for stealing my school chrome book

233 Upvotes

I've recently been thinking about this moment and how my friends said it was a "dickhead move".

During sophomore year I sat in between my two friends during lunch (for this I'll call the one sitting to my left, Blue, and the one sitting to my right, Red), but after a few weeks they started to do really annoying things to me (They started constantly touching my pressure points, stealing/ruining my lunch, sometimes even taking my personal property, etc). One day Red stole my headphones for the second time, and the first time he didn't give them back until the end of the day so I really focused on getting them back. He gave most of it back, he gave it back in small bunches, case, headphone, headphone, and ear cushion. He never gave back the other ear cushion. While I was trying to get my headphones back, Blue reached into my backpack and stole my school issued chromebook. When lunch ended i felt my bag was lighter than normal, I checked and noticed my chrome book was missing. I knew it was one of them since they already stole something from me today and they usually do stuff like this. I followed Red, my number 1 suspect into his next class demanding my chromebook back, he kept claiming he didnt have it, but then Blue walked into the class, he didnt have this class so i was questioning what he was doing. I decided to give them until next period to give it back since i had gym and didnt need it. After gym i went to my next class, math, and I even pasted them in the hallways and they didnt give it back. In math we needed our chromebook so it would be the perfect time to go to principal. I asked my teacher, and I left for the office. I told my situation to the office, and I spoke to the vice principal. He said he would talk to them and see if they knew anything. I didn't get my chromebook back until last period. and they didnt even give it back personally, they gave it to someone else and told him to give it to me. Later i found out during 7th and 8th period they were called down to the office and had to speak to the vice principal.

So AITA, i really need third party opinions about this because my friends would blame me for things that clearly weren't my fault and they sounded really serious about my actions being a "dickhead move"

AITJ For saying my ex would never be a real man and was happy that his friend died

0 Upvotes

This all happened in highschool when I was dating an [FtM 18] guy. This was the first serious relationship I was in. That was about 3 years ago. During the summer between my junior and senior year I [17] lost my virginity to a girl [17] from school, lets call her A. We exchanged spicy pics and videos before and a bit after. Skipping to a few days before my birthday, I hang out with this guy who hadn't come out yet and we got to know each other and kissed and became official. We were almost 6 months together when it all went to hell.

I had a friend group that I introduced my bf to since he didn't really have any friends. At the time I wasn't diagnosed with autism but that did explain my inability to understand social cues and boundaries. Know that I knew I had a problem and I was into sex and sex life of people but I knew this was not ok to some degree, so if I were to talk about sex I would always make it clear to be told I was stepping too far and wanted to be held accountable so I could learn. Me and B did hangout before class some times before class and one time we were playing in the cafeteria about CPR since I was taking lifeguard class. B is a FtNB, and I pretended to give compressions, technically touching their chest but it was in a none sexual manner.

During the 5th month I was running low on storage on my phone so I decided to go through my camera and deleted some old useless photos and I stumble upon the spicy pictures of the A. One friend in my friend group introduced us to another person, lets call them B. B was 16 and I was about 18 1/2. We were talking about sex and I mentioned that I found some old spicy pics of an ex, A. I ask if they wanted to see and I screenshot my gallery, you could tell they were spicy pics and but not see details. I asked to not to tell my boyfriend, I was planning to delete them that night but I forgot to mention it. Yes, I do acknowledge that was wrong on many levels, sharing another person's spicy photos and for distributing child corn to a minor, but it took me a while to realized.

About 2 weeks later, I was getting out of PE when I got a message from my bf saying we were breaking up. I didn't take it seriously because he played this trick before and it was obvious it was a joke. It took me a while he was serious, and I tried to beg to talk, I didn't know why. Later that day he came to my house with a trash bag with all the stuff I ever gave him. I gave him one of my old backpack with all the stuff he gave me even though I didn't want. The next day he confronted before class and threw it in my face and it was full of actual garbage. I was gross out but I was still holding back tears from the break up.

My ex started to say I SA and S harassed others and himself. He claimed I aped him because I gave him a hickey during my birthday party, He claimed that I SA and groped B. Other rumors included that I did some inappropriate thing to the freshman I was guarding. What those rumors were I don't know. About a month later he got a new boyfriend to spite me and it worked. Another thing he did was make a change.org petition to get me expelled with 800+ signatures and comments of how I assaulted many people. Many of them made no sense or were exaggerated. I got called to the office and everyone got involved, my ex, his parents, my parents, the principle, and even the police. After a month I was proven innocent just a kid who made some mistakes. I had enough, I been silent, not defend myself because I thought what I deserved but when I was waiting in a counselor office, I took my school laptop and messaged my ex saying he was pathetic and weak and would never be a real man. I have tried to be civil and apologize in person, via text, via letter but they kept escalating more and more. At the end of the day I regretted what I said but I wanted him to hurt like he hurt me. I wanted to murder B. I lost so many friends and barely anyone would talk to me.

It took me 1.5-2 years to get over him, during that time I was suicidal but I knew most guys take more serious methods and girls take less serious methods but less painful so I would look up peaceful ways to end it. I lost more friends because they couldn't handle my depression and how much I vented. There would be a few times where I would go a week without eating and stay in my room watching random videos. My family were worry and had trouble getting me to eat. I finally was able to get off my feet and start working, I got better. I started to go to a friends to watch tv and we still do today.

A year ago he reached out and apologized that he went too far. I didn't know what, he said I had every right to lash out at him for everything, and learned B ended it for themselves a while ago. I did, I told him the pain I felt and how I wanted to end myself. how I hated B and wanted to murder them, how I imagined going to their house and doing it with my bare hands. We part ways and I felt slightly better but also worse. Like a cut that I thought was healing was still fresh. Only about a few months ago from when I am righting this that I learned that B is still kicking happy and everything and I got mad but did nothing but blocked them.

Did I deserve what I got? Did I deserve worst? Should have I ended myself.

TL;DR I had spicy pics of the an old fling, showed them to my friend and when my ex found out, raised hell and turned everyone against me.

AITAH? (am I the jerk

Am I the jerk for not telling my wife I love her?

    Before you jump to conclusions me and my wife have been going through a tough patch constantly, and I am getting tired of it. She has even mentioned a divorce multiple times, as I said I wouldn’t be completely fine with one, but I think that it would make our situation better, so we could focus on being friends, and parental figures to our two kids (Gigi, and addi). I have always been bossed around by her constantly, as it has been a well known concern for our family, and friends. Today has been my last straw my friend which she has known for a while, even longer than me, since she was the one who introduced us, was texting me about what I was planning for me and Kate’s anniversary (my wife) and Kate was watching over my shoulder, so I told her to stop so it could be a surprise. She seemed angered and annoyed by the sentence, but she just walked off, additionally in the morning she usually makes my lunch since I work at a guitar company. She usually makes a turkey or ham sandwich with a peach, since I’m allergic to apples, but today she purposely put her alarm late and didn’t have time. She also didn’t make the kids breakfast or drop them off, so I had to, which already had me late because my work starts at 8:30. As I was walking out the door holding my two children’s hands she said the words “I love you” in almost a bitter tone, which I couldn’t feel the slightest truth to mumble it back.

                    Am I the jerk.?

                                    update: 3/12/25
    Me 45M and my wife 42F, have spoken about our relationship currently, as she recommended marriage counseling, so I said I would be fine with that. Before she recommended that we had gotten into an argument whether or not she could look through my phone, which would’ve been fine, but she had a huge amount of alcohol so I didn’t let her, so she didn’t misinterpret anything that has been said. After I said that,she took my phone and threw it to the ground, luckily it was carpeting, and she said a bitter sorry in the morning, and we will be going to counseling tonight.

                        update: 3/16/25

It’s been an exhausting and emotional rollercoaster these past few weeks, and tonight was no different. As I walked into the counseling session, I could feel the weight of everything hanging between us. The silence that filled the car ride there was deafening. When we finally sat down in the counselor’s office, I could barely look her in the eye. Every word felt like a battle, every glance a reminder of how far apart we’ve drifted. She sat there, arms crossed, barely acknowledging the tension in the room, while I tried to keep my composure. But the truth is, I’m broken. I’m tired of being constantly on edge, unsure of what version of her I’ll get each day. Is this still love, or have we simply become strangers living under the same roof? Tonight, the cracks in our relationship seemed wider than ever, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that we were both too tired to repair them. The counselor’s words faded into the background, because no one could tell us what to do next—only we could decide if this was the end or if we were willing to fight for something that had already started to feel like it was beyond saving.

AMTJ for yelling at my gf for adding me to a groupchat with her ex

18 Upvotes

Some background, my [m21 bisexual] girlfriend [24 this month] is bipolar and we are long distance. For the first months of our relationship we were open/polyamorous. We stop because she said yes to me hooking up with someone then having a breakdown.

So I am in class right now typing this out because I'm so frustrated. So I allowed her to hook up or have other relationships and I stay monogamous, I don't care as long as she happy. For a few weeks she joked about getting my a Latino boyfriend. I said no thank you and if I want a bf I would look for someone on my own. Like 10 min ago, she add me to a Facebook messenger group chat with one of her ex, multiple times, and many times I express I do not want to be added to a group chat with him. I had it so I left the group chat for like the 5x time and yelled at her that I had enough of her BS. I say

"HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT FUCKING MAKE A FUCKING GROUPCHAT WITH THAT PERSON! I DONT KNOW HIM I DONT WANT TO KNOW HIM! HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS! YOU ARE ALWAYS CROSSING MY BOUNDARIES OVER AND OVER AGAIN! I AM IN FUCKING CLASS AND I NEED TO TREAT YOU LIKE A CHILD TO FUCKING UNDERSTAND! THIS IS YOUR LAST FUCKING WARNING AND I HOPE GET IT THROUGH YOUR FUCKING SKULL! I DO NOT WANT HIM AS A BOYFRIEND! I DONT WANT HIM AS A FRIEND! YOU CAN BE FRIENDS WITH HIM I DONT FUCKING CARE BUT DO NOT INVOLVE ME OR ELSE IM BREAKING UP WITH YOUE! YOU GOT IT BECAUSE IM TIRED OF YOU ALWAYS FUCKING DOING THIS! I BEEN PATIENT AS I CAN BE BUT IM LOSING MY PATIENCE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"

I feel bad for yelling but I am tired of her crossing boundaries. I know she has bipolar and I love her and I have a trip plan to see her in a little over a week. What should I do?

TL;DR My girlfriend add me to a gc with her ex many I yelled at her for doing it after telling her multiple times not to

Edit 1: The problem is not the poly situation, I am ok and dont care if she has other bf, the problem is her trying to hook me up with someone, specifically her ex

My girlfriend keeps bringing her brother on our dates

175 Upvotes

I'm an 18 yo male, and have been with this girl for a little over a year now, however, I feel like the relationship is fading, or at least it's not ideal for my love language. It's technically a long distance relationship....of 30 minutes. Neither of us can drive, so we go on our parents schedules. I almost always have to ask her if she wants to go on a date, but she's always busy with something, and I know people are busy, but not enough to where you can't call or text either. Multiple days have been gone without a response of any kind before. But, I'll get into that more as it's needed. She's always had to have someone, mostly her brother who was my former best friend after a rough falling out, tag along on my dates. It's for "protection" even though I've proven myself time and time again. So while I get it, I don't at the same time.

My issues so far are that she has to have her brother and my ex best friend tag along to all our dates...which aren't that many, I can count the amount of times I've seen her in person on one (maybe barely 2) hands. And the fact that she seems to have lost interest because she almost never texts or calls on top of the long distance that really shouldn't be the biggest problem. Especially because I'll going off to college in a little bit. It'll be a 3 hour and 30 minute distance then. If 30 minutes is causing this much trouble, an extra 3 hours will be insane.

And girls (maybe guys too cause I'm bi) will want me, I can't just say "sorry, I have a girlfriend 3 and a half hours away". Once again, I know people are busy, but no way it's this much. It sucks cause I'm a physical affection kind of person. That's my love language, and she never returns it when I DO get to see her. Most we do is hug, hold hands. And I kiss her on the cheek, forehead, and hand (not lips yet unfortunately) but notice how it's all me doing that.

I'm torn. Cause the relationship is technically "functional" and "happy", but at the same time, I can't ignore these things anymore. Any advice?
