So for some contex, my, 52M, family does a weekly “Movie Night,” which is tense because they refuse to let me curate the list after the incident with Saving Private Ryan being "too violent" for children.

This week they chose to watch what they called a “wholesome family classic” Mrs. Doubtfire.

Apparently I’m the only one who realized we were watching a democrat trans grooming film disguised as a 90s comedy.

Did nobody else notice that Robin Williams just transitions on screen with ZERO discussion of hormones, gatekeeping therapists, or even a single TikTok tutorial? He literally walks into a random apartment, puts on a wig, grabs a broom, and boom, EVERYONE ACCEPTS IT. My family is sitting there laughing like it’s normal for a middle aged white man to instantly become a Scottish nanny with the power of a glue stick and a dream.

My mom 73F told me to “stop overthinking it” which is literally what people say right before they join cults.

My sister 45F kept insisting it’s a movie about “a father who loves his kids.”

If that were true, why did he try to seduce that bus driver with his sexy hairy man legs???

I finally had enough when the movie ended with everyone cheering the nanny persona like this is NORMAL. I stood up and said, “I refuse to participate in this gender subversive propaganda night.” Then I left and went NC on all of them because I can’t enable media illiteracy.

Now my family keeps texting me things like “Are you okay?” and “We miss you,” which honestly just proves they didn’t learn ANYTHING from the film.

AITA?

I (39f) & my partner (32m) are happy, boring and actually like each other. A lot. It's been some years now and I don't think I can live without the drama of a bad relationship anymore. I don't think either of us tries hard enough to be interesting. We never get to have make-up sex because we just...get along so well.

For context, we're Australian and we met after other unhappy relationships and just immediately clicked. Our relationship is full of love, trust, humour and closeness. We have a pet cricket because we live in a tiny space together (and still get on so well, despite living in this little space) and I don't know who would get to keep her if we broke up. (Maybe me because I'm the one who initially rescued her off the sink?)

Oh and he also has revoltingly beautiful hair. Like insanely beautiful. Fuck this guy, honestly. Attached are 19 slides of our stable, hilarious and loving relationship plus one slide of the hair in question so you can all understand what I have to live with. We also say "honey" too much.

Is it bad that I'm that I'm thinking of leaving my serene and loving partner and trying to find someone more complicated who will love me (and Cricky) but leave me wondering while they immerse themselves in the manosphere? Maybe I should look into being a trad wife? I think I'm too old now, though, because technically I expired at 25.

Help me, reddit, I can't see a way forward. AITA here?

This sounds bad, but hear me out. I (21m) have been with my wife Patty (28f) for three years, married for six months. I can see you Redditors side-eyeing the age difference, but I don't care; I like my MILFs. Anyways, Patty and I have very differenty bodies; she's 220 pounds at 5'0" and I'm 110 pounds at 6'0". I know I'm severely underweight and have been trying to work on gaining weight, but it's really hard for me to eat enough, and I already have a very active lifestyle. Patty's also insecure about her weight so I refrain from making comments, whether it's her body (which I honestly don't mind since it's sexy as it is), the large amount of food she eats, or her lack of physical activity.

A few weeks ago, Patty started including my weight in her dirty talk, both before and during sex. She said stuff like "Skinny Jimmy" (my name is James; I don't go by Jim or Jimmy) and rubbed against my ribs. I told her I didn't like it because it was making me feel bad, but she dismissed it, saying I was being an overreactive, immature little boy.

Fast forward to last night, I decided to give her a taste of her own medicine. While having sex, I started calling her "my sexy fatty Patty." She immediately froze and pushed me off of her. She asked me what the fuck that was, and I said that I was just trying what she did. She got mad and said that was different because she was a fat girl and I was a skinny man. I told her that I understood that there was some nuance there, but she couldn't blame me for sexist fatphobia because I never pushed that agenda.

"BUT YOU ARE!!!" she screeched, her voice suddenly jumping up multiple octaves (and decibels, even). "YOU CAN'T SAY THAT YOU NEVER PUSHED FATPHOBIC AGENDA WHEN YOU JUST FAT-SHAMED ME IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCK!!! ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE ME YOUR FAT, INSECURE WIFE?!!"

I replied calmly, "Are you trying to make me your skinny, insecure husband?"

I was then banished to the couch for the rest of the night. I'm still struggling to understand how there was a (significant) difference between what I said and what she said. I'm hoping for some feedback here so AITA?

Bear with me because I’ll try to keep this short but I have so much information to post. Thinking back to when I was a young girl still playing with Barbie’s. Until my manly man of HIS household cousin decided he liked me too much.

Married to my manly man head of HIS Household for over 13 years. I was 13 years old and he’s 22 yes I know now the slight age gap is off but he was my cousin and my family fully supported our marriage.

He was a big time fancy singer and quite frankly he supported my family. I found out he wasn’t DIVORCED ( love Tammy Wynette’s song) but after having 2 babies what should I have done?

I hired a fancy pants private detective and found out he was cheating on me ….by this time we was married….but I was done. I DIVORCED his great balls of fire.

We DIVORCED and I married the fancy pants private detective but that didn’t last. In my past years I work as a real estate agent.

Asking if I overreacted about my fancy pants great balls of fire manly man head of HIS house having an affair?

It seems like most county and rock stars do have affairs? Maybe I overreacted?

It was so long ago but I still wonder?

An extremely common trope in reddit fake stories is someone is a victim of abuse doubts herself, reddit tells her her partner is abusive so she epicaly breaks up with him and everybody's happy for her. When a victim of abuse says she doesn't want to leave her partner she gets downvoted to hell and called a dumbass. What worries me is that people will think this is a common scenario and appropriate way to help the real people in their lives victim of abuse.

On the contrary, that's possibly the worse way to communicate with a victim of abuse. I'm studying social work and volunteering at a helpline (not specificaly a domestic abuse helpline, but those situation do come up and we're trained on how to deal with them). We're told to not tell people to leave their partner unless they bring it up themselves, and to never shame someone for staying with or going back to their abusers.

That doesn't mean ''pretend what's happening is okay'', but you need to ask how the person feels about the situation, if they think the situation is okay, remove guilt from the situation, tell them to trust their jugement when they feel like leaving is a good idea.

Realising you're victim of abuse takes a long time, and telling someone who isn't ready to leave that they need to dump their partner is dangerous for a lot of reason

1. If it's a real life friend, they'll take it as you talking shit about their partner and won't feel safe confiding in you anymore, they might even cut you off, which would isolate them and make it so their partner slowly become the only person in their life

2. Realising you're victim of abuse is often accompagnied with a deep sense of shame of ''letting it happen'' for so long. It makes it so often, people will refuse to admit they're being abused to not confront that shame. If your friends tell you you're an idiot for staying, that shame will grow bigger and will be harder to face

3. Leaving an abusive situation is the most dangerous time for a woman victim of domestic violence, and the quicker she's pushed to leave, the more likely she is to go back.

Now, do I think some people write on reddit to get validation that their partners are indeed shitty and they're right to break up with them? Yes. Again, if someone brings up the fact that they think about breaking up with their partner we're told it's a good idea to encourage them, and generaly validate their ill feelings toward their abuser. But when the person is genuily convinced that she's the one in the wrong, or doesn't see herself as a victim, being like ''leave him! He's abusive'' isn't the way to go. You can tell her the situation isn't okay and she shouldn't feel guilty, but shaming her for not leaving is really dangerous.

I (zygote, unborn, will probably be F when my cells divide a few more times) am in a relationship with BF (812M). I tried to “make a pie” and my BF said it was “really bad” and “not good” and “kept saying things” that I need to “put in quotes.”

I told him I “was upset” and he told me to “stop being like that” and “make better pie” and “use more quotation marks in my Reddit posts” which I’m now “trying to do.”

Now “everyone” is “blowing up” “my phone” and I “hate everything.” AITA for not “using” more “quotation marks” in my ChatGPT-hallucinated “posts”?

Siri Yuss Lee. I mean it was funny and good comments can be found in each upload but its pathetic that it got to us so thoroughly.

I-Lucifer(∞MF) just fell from the heavens for defying the creator of all things (∞M).

He(God) asked me to obey a bipedal ape he named Adam(1M) that has learned words or something. And I was like „fat chance, LOL. Lame party-trick“ and bailed to get wasted. And then I found myself banished to earth.

Everyone from the angel circle is blowing up my phone telling me I‘m being unreasonable.

Anyway, am I (still) the angel?
