For the last 15 years my wife has been a stay at home mom and I’ve been the sole income for our family. We’ve been able to make it work, but only just. We’ve spent years living paycheck to paycheck and taking in tens of thousands of dollars of debt to maintain our lifestyle. But though all of that I’ve managed to purchase a home and float the debt and keep us above water.

A few years ago our kids became old enough to not need daily mothering and I stared to encourage her to start thinking about rejoining the workforce to help pay down the debt. She was adamant that she didn’t just want a job, she wanted a career. So she went back to school for a degree. Four years and $60k later she’s working, but it’s part time and barely covering her school loans.

But here’s the rub, two years ago, during her final year of schooling, i received a $2 million dollar inheritance. It’s enough that it generates more money than she can ever make with her degree, but with it came an almost immediate life style upgrade that pushed even THAT to its limit. Kids are now in private school, our house got a big renovation, her mom got a new condo and the wife got a brand new car. So I’m still stressed about money.

And now her part time job is offering full time employment at twice the salary. It’ll pay for the private schools and then some. It’s a huge weight off my shoulders, but she didn’t want to work full time. She wants to enjoy the money. I got angry at this and basically laid out our current spend rate and blamed her for a lot of it and insinuated that she needs to start pulling her weight. She begrudgingly agreed to take the job and I apologized for not acknowledging her contributions as a home maker.

But she’s still complaining about it. Dropping snide comments about other moms only working 32 hours a week and blaming me for no vacation this summer because now our work schedules conflict. I don’t feel the least bit sorry for her and it’s led to an impasse where we’re talking to each other like exes trying to coordinate childcare than we are talking like a couple.

Should I feel sorry for her? Should I rebalance the budget and try to get by with her only working 20 hours a week? AITAH??

22 years old and played the game of his life on the biggest stage. He gained so much respect and fans after that legendary performance. I’m so proud he stepped up. 😭🥹❤️

And will Wemby have a big game?

I visited a friend whom I used to consider a close friend over a weekend to deliver a package. I was only going to drop the package and leave but she kept me talking and asked me questions about a mutual friend. with the gossip going on we sat on the dining table. There were quite a few snacks lying on the table, like at least 20 packages of snacks casually lied there.

During our conversation she grabbed one of them, opened the package and started eating it. She didn't tell me to have one but I didn't think it would be a big deal and the way she ate it made me want to have something sweet too. So while talking I also grabbed a snack. I was speaking so I didn't open it right away but it was in my hands for a few sentences. When I opened it, she suddenly grabbed all the snacks on the table and took the one I was holding, the one I just opened, and put them all in the drawer.

I was a tad shocked honestly and didn't know how to react. I kept talking to her until our conversation ended and I left afterwards without talking about it. But it just stuck with me for a while. I didn't talk to her again after that conversation. Tbh both because i didn't know how to react in the moment and also because i didn't know how to bring it up later.

This was 2 months ago. This morning she visited my flat to talk to my roommate. At that moment I was having breakfast. She casually said hi and I greeted back, fake smile and all that. Later on, my roommate came to the kitchen and my friend followed her. Then she sat on the table. She took the knife and took some nutella out of the jar and put it on the pancake. (I was having breakfast alone and nothing was my roommate's.) Although it's been 2 months and we never spoke of what happened there, it may have come off a bit awkward but I quickly grabbed everything on the table and put them in the fridge, including the pancake that she intended to eat, and walked to my room.

Now my roommate doesn't know the context so she thought what i did was extremely rude. I just wanted to give her a teste of her own medicine. AITAH?

I’m a guy who’s been going to the gym for more than 2 years. I’ve got a decent body but I'm very shy. I love chubby, oversized women more than anything. I get really nervous around them. When i asked him for advice how to approach them he was like you can do so much better than them and kept on going and saying stupid shit so was it valid if I completely cut him off?

I only watch Passions and all the supercouples (Ethan/Theresa, Luis/Sheridan) never cheated on each other. They have, however, cheated on their partners to be with their "soulmate". Are there examples of supercouples who did cheat on each other despite their partner being their true love?

I think Wemby and Luka would work well together. Wemby would cover lakers defensive weaknesses. I think LeBron/luka/wemby/ar would be championship contenders.

On the soap drama Passions, Sheridan loves Luis and constantly cheats on her boyfriend Antonio with him. She never loved Antonio and calls Luis her soulmate. When luis refused to be with her in the end, she decided Antonio was her soulmate. That would be cool if the whole time she didn’t cheat on him with Luis. So her ending up with Antonio and saying he’s her soulmate was forced.

On the same show, Miguel left his baby mama to chase after his true love Charity. He told Kay (BM) that he doesn’t love her like that and only loves Charity. When Charity left him, he decided Kay was his true love. Again very forced when he said many times he loves Charity.

Yeah so not buying the character loves the second option when the whole time they stated they don’t love them at all.
