Anyone who has given birth will agree that labor is a pretty much all-consuming activity. All you can—and should be—focusing on is getting yourself to the hospital as quickly as possible. It would help if you didn't have to worry about tracking down your partner while doing so, who had made themselves as unavailable as possible. It sounds like an absurd scenario, right? Well, one woman who posted on Reddit's Am I The A-hole faced this very scenario when she couldn't reach her husband when she was in labor. After failing to respond to her texts and calls, she called a friend to take her to the hospital. Her husband, who only looked at his phone at the end of the workday, was p*ssed at her for not going via his office to get him, so that he could be there for the birth of their daughter. Of course, the internet jumped to the woman's defense, calling her husband out for being a massive a-hole.
asshole
Having not put on a full face of makeup for the best part of a year, I jump at any opportunity to get dressed up. Or at least to feel like I've put some effort into my appearance, because how long can a girl wear sweats and have her hair in a messy bun before she goes insane? So I fully support any woman who puts on makeup to feel good about the way she looks, even if it's to stay at home. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with me. One guy posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole, explaining that his wife, who received some makeup as a gift, has started experimenting with different looks, adding that "she's really talented with it, and she's having a lot of fun." So far, so good.
That is until his brother "decided she must be posting pictures or sending pics to some dude or multiple dudes," aka, she must be cheating because there's no other explanation as to why she'd suddenly be wearing makeup. Of course, women only wear makeup to cheat on their partners, right? The woman's husband called his brother an "insecure, testicle grabbing, chauvinist man-baby," which obviously didn't go down well. Read the whole story below, and see how quickly Redditor's jump to her defense, commend the OP for his healthy attitude towards the entire thing, and call out the toxic brother-in-law for projecting all hit sh*t onto his brother's wife.
The extended lockdown over the past year has meant many couples now work together from home. Of course, living and working with your significant other isn't ideal because you're basically on top of each other 24-7, exposing you to sides of them that you might not have seen before. But since it's pretty unavoidable nowadays, couples have had to adapt. Unfortunately, it has brought out the ugly side of people, which one guy who posted on Reddit's Am I The Asshole proved when he went on a jealous rant after observing his GF's work schedule and being bitter that she was making double his salary for half the work. She understandably got pissed off, explaining that it wasn't his place to say what her time was worth because she was hired for her knowledge. If her boss and CEO saw the work she produced and based her salary off that, it wasn't his place to undervalue her because he was jealous. He also casually threw in the fact that she does the housework and he doesn't. Redditors had a lot to say to him, but the main consensus was that he was the asshole who had jealousy issues. Read his ridiculous rant, and let us know what you think.
Being attracted to your partner is an essential aspect of a healthy relationship. Although attraction isn't based solely on physical appearance—it's also about their character—being OK with the way your partner looks is crucial. If you don't like the way someone looks, don't be with them. And don't complain about it and pretend that you're doing so for their good. Because that's how you give people insecurities or at least perpetuate ones they already have.
One guy took to Reddit's Am I The A— Hole, explaining that his girlfriend has a "bad case of TMJ, which makes it so that when she gives a big smile, one side of her mouth curls up into a huge grin while the other side basically stays still. Every selfie we've taken together has her looking like this. While I absolutely accept that this is just a condition she has, I wish she would do what she can to make it less noticeable." Redditers jumped to defend the poor woman, calling this guy out for the a**hole that he is. Here is his post, with some of the comments. What do you think?
Stealing someone's thunder at a big event is up there with the top ways to ruin someone's big moment. For example, proposing at someone else's wedding. Even if you've got permission from the couple, you'll always be that person who stole someone's thunder. Just. Don't. Do. It. One woman took to Reddit's Am I The A-hole, to ask if she's in the wrong for being angry at her brother and sister-in-law, who announced their pregnancy at her sick daughter's birthday party because the whole family was gathered there. The unanimous decision was that the brother and sister-in-law were the**holes, and that it was inappropriate and attention-seeking to ruin the little girl's big day. Read the story and see what people have to say about this insensitive couple.
The internet is full of people who make you say "WTF," and this guy is undoubtedly one of them. He posted on the subreddit Am I The A-Hole, explaining how he thought the surprise professional boudoir photos his wife had taken for him were "desperate" and indicative of the midlife crisis he suspected she was having. This absolute gem of a husband explained how his "aging" 41-year-old wife looks starkly different from "everybody else in our group of mid to late thirties people," adding, "Frankly I don't think the boudoir photos make her any more or less flattering... a quick glance at them did nothing for me."
Ummm, OK. First off, any change in appearance over two or three years at that age is negligible. Anyone sensible knows that. So, this guy's delusional views on what women should look like are already painting a picture of the type of person he is. Secondly, his poor wife, who quite clearly feels insecure about her body (probably because of her dckwad of a husband who makes her feel like total sht), was looking for a confidence boost. His reaction is at best indifferent, and at worst, feeding and magnifying all her insecurities, making her feel like total sht. As you probably guessed, Redditors unanimously voted him an a*hole. Please scroll down for his story and to see the comments people left him. Spoiler: they didn't hold back.
You do some things in life, not because you have to, but because it's the right thing to do. Picking up litter, helping elderly people to cross the road, and giving up your seat on public transport for pregnant women. Most people don't question these unspoken rules of human decency, but you'll find someone who thinks they are exempt from them every now and again. Like this guy who posted on the popular Reddit thread Am I The A-hole, who asked if he was in the wrong for not giving up his seat on the bus for a pregnant lady, even though he "Works 10-hour shifts." In case you can't get an idea of the type of person he is, from that along, he goes on to say, "We live in a state where birth control and abortions are free, so I don't know why this should be my problem. It's not my fault she decided to have a baby when she can't afford a car."
Ummmm. So essentially, and correct me if I'm wrong, he's saying that if you want to feel comfortable on the bus, you should just get an abortion. Ok cool. He sounds like a genuinely upstanding citizen. Not.
Anyway, as you can imagine, Redditers pitched in left, right, and center, telling him just how much of an ahold he is and why he is a sh*tty human being. As always, there were a few people who were on his side (we've included one such response below), but most people were of the consensus that he is a d-bag. Read through his story and the reactions from Redditers and decide if you think he is, indeed, the ahole.
We all judge other people; it's human nature. Everyone thinks they know best, although they rarely do. The subreddit r/AmItheA–hole is a great place to go if you're feeling judgy, because it's practically full of people questioning their culpability in various situations, looking for public approval. Look, if you have to ask the public if you're an a-hole, then the odds are that you probably are one. Like the dad who posted, asking, "AITA for expecting my daughter to do chores?"
At first glance, you might think, no, chores are an essential life skill for children to learn so that they learn responsibility, cleanliness, and how to keep their own house one day. But the father goes on to explain that she does the chores because he has to "spend extra on my daughter each month not only for her extracurriculars but for her monthly supplies, so it's my way of having her pay me back. She cleans the shared living spaces and bathrooms in our apartment and cooks four meals a week. My brother said I spend twice as much on my son's extracurriculars, and by my logic, he should have to do chores too. I explained he didn't because I feel his could help him get into college, but hers were just a hobby, in my opinion."
Yep, that's right, this madman's sexist double standards is period-shaming his daughter into doing the job of a housekeeper while her brother sits by and does nothing. All while he blatantly disregards his family's attempt to intervene when his daughter leaves home (not surprisingly). Scroll down for the comments left by other Redditors who lost it at this backward, lunatic of a man who does not deserve to be a parent.
Jesus is meant to be the good guy, but sometimes, he can be a real jerk. These sketches show Jesus in a less than favorable way, portraying him as that pesky guy in your ear who drives you nuts. Kind of like the devil (which is ironic). Based on the original sketches, containing the caption "With You Always," illustrated as a series titled "Jesus: With You Always" in 1987 by the Christian artist Larry Van Pelt, these "Jesus is a jerk" memes show the lesser know, dark side of Jesus. Scroll down for some of the funniest versions.
Having unprotected sex is fun and games until you end up with an unplanned pregnancy. Of course, having a baby is a blessing and a gift and something to be treasured. Still, when it comes as a surprise (aka a mistake), it forces you to recalibrate your future and embrace the responsibilities of parenthood perhaps earlier than you might have wanted to. I guess the age-old adage of "don't be silly, wrap your willy" is correct. Ideally, both parents should embrace the challenge of parenthood equally, however, some men try playing the "I'm not ready for fatherhood" card to shirk parental responsibility and carry on living a single lifestyle. Of course, these men are idiots, especially those who didn't wear a condom during sex.
One guy on Reddit's r/AmITheAsshole thread got himself in this exact situation and has caused somewhat of an uproar upon asking if he was the ahole. In short, he didn't use a condom during sex (by his own admission) got his GF of eight months pregnant, and then claimed he felt it was too early for them to move in together to raise the baby. He admits that his friends and family think he's a massive tool, and it sounds like his GF is sick of his sh*t. I would be too! But it's safe to say that 99% of Redditers agree with them, and lay into the OP pretty hard. What do you think of the situation? Is he the ahole?
