Step-Sister Insists Brother Hide Their Scars Due To Her Fear Of Fires r/AITA

[@owl7072]

The irony of her trying to say that her fear of something happening is worse than the trauma of someone who actually went through it nearly had me laughing, yeah trauma from experiencing something that could have hurt you can be intense but really?

[@car0ndelet]

Story 4: I’m expecting to read this poor woman’s version on events on r/letsnotmeet. OP is definitely TA for grabbing her, not apologizing, and trying to blame her.

[@TheNormExperience]

Right?! And then BLAMING her not letting him use her as a human bannister to get off the already moving bus? Come on man - ALL of this is on you. YOU missed the stop, YOU grabbed a stranger and didn’t immediately remove your hand, YOU gripped her harder, and then blamed her for almost falling over because she didn’t just let you? Fuck OFF. Take some responsibility! If I were trying to get off the bus and tripped and kicked Op in the nads it would be an accident but still be my fault and my job to apologize!!!

[@MsLaughingRabbit]

Okay but why are all the judgments for story 3 YTA? Like, sure, she made a small comment that implied eating a single food and nothing else for a whole week wasn't very healthy, but the friend's attitude??? If I were OP I'd let those friends Carmen had been talking shit about me to help her out until she felt better again. Depression does not excuse being a bitch to someone who's been nothing but helpful and supportive for weeks.

[@Fallen.2136]

Story 1 NTA that's a good dad looking out for his daughter.

[@Davtwan]

Exactly. Would she really want to marry someone like that? It’s _her_ wedding too.

[@TheNormExperience]

Looking out for both daughter AND son as well as humanly possible - definitely a great dad stuck in an sticky situation. So glad Mike’s own actions outed him for the incredible ahole he is. If he was willing to lie to his fiancée and then turn around and deal with her own family in this way I’m not shocked he’s going around spewing a version of events making himself the victim. Absolutely Disgusting.

Story 3 NTA The friend is definitely TA for talking behind OPs back? The friend has the right to be mad, but badmouthing OP, who mind you, has been helping her friend out so much, to other friends is just terrible. I cant believe everyone just overlooked how terrible a friend she is to OP. Depression doesnt give you the right to talk behind a close friends back like that.

[@alwayswondering127]

Unfortunately for Reddit depression is a magic word that then takes away all responsibility from peoples shitty actions.

[@thedestroyasystem]

Exactly. I can understand why friend would be upset, but her name calling and claiming OP'd struggles were lesser than her own (bc she said OP doesn't understand mental illness even tho OP HAS mental illnesses) makes her an AH. OP could've brought it up better later, but what they said still should've been a nonissue. Friend was defensive, "don't you want me to eat healthy?" which is a guilt trip, by the way. And OP replied "what you're eating isn't healthy, but I'm not going to push it." Said a true statement, but didn't push, force, or shame roommate. Reddit was projecting a TON. Having depression doesn't mean you get to treat those around you like shit.

[@MsUnamusedNerd]

Story 1: NTA. The boyfriend’s disregard for his fiancé wanting her brother to be at the wedding is a huge red flag. Not only does he and his parents disrespect Op with their classes bullshit, but trying his best to make sure his fiancé‘s little brother is not invited to the wedding just shows a level of disrespect that’s going to eventually cause a wedge between everyone. It’s probably good Mike and Op‘s daughter called off the wedding. It saves her from experiencing having a messy divorce with him later in their relationship and receiving classist abuse from Mike and his parents during custody battles when if they had kids. Also the relatives that are attacking OP constantly bringing up Mike ‘has things’ shows where their heads are at. It doesn’t matter if Mike has his own house, his own car, money, and a good job. He’s a nasty human being and he’s going to make his wife miserable when that mask comes off after the honeymoon.

[@midnight_sniper_wolf8992]

I would bet all the money in the world that as soon as they were married Mike would have forced her to cut off all contact with her family.

[@MsUnamusedNerd]

And when he has arguments with his wife brings up how she came from a lower income family and that’s why she doesn’t “know how to behave“ or some classes shit like that.

[@smapa1185]

Yeah, that dude is SUPER classist and ableist as well. I'm so glad OP's daughter broke it off with him after his narcissistic ass was left bare and exposed.

[@HackiePuffs]

Story 2: NTA. I completely understand having lasting affects from an incident like a fire but something that’s important to keep in mind is that the world doesn’t have to bend over backwards for anyone. No matter who they are or what they’ve been through. Sure there are some people willing to make a few accommodations but that doesn’t mean they’ll bend over backwards over the tiniest complaint you have or should do it. That’s just life.

Story 4: OP is TA for not apologizing. He DID do something wrong on accident and should have explained himself to her, but he was tightlipped and just made a noise when she almost caused him to fall because he grabbed her thigh. He's got a pride issue and prolly doesn't make it a habit to acknowledge when he's in the wrong.

[@Acidfunkish]

That's what I thought. It seems like he's accustomed to refusing to take responsibility for his own actions. So yeah, YTA, dude. 🤦‍♀️ "I missed my stop because I wasn't prepared, so I groped a woman, then blamed her because I still missed it!!!" Dude... Oblivious. WHY DO YOU NEED TO GROPE SOMEONE FOR BALANCE? Idiot. I legit permanently injured my shoulder, because the train I was on decided to hit the breaks as I was getting up. I had two options: 1) fall into the lap of the man across from me 2) shove my whole body weight towards the window, instead I chose #2. I was also an extremely tiny human (105 lbs), at that time, so I probably wouldn't have hurt the dude. But still, I'd rather cause hurt to MYSELF than literally anyone else. It wasn't the dude's fault the train stopped. So why would I put him at ANY risk?

[@TheNormExperience]

Yeah! If I tripped and kicked OP in the gonads it would still be my job to apologize whether it was an accident or not.

[@blissfull3147]

I don't think op is TA, I've fallen on people and had them fall on me, I've had kids dumped on my lap while mom was trying to put pushchairs down, I've touched and been touched inappropriately while trying to get off public transport, I've had intimate contact with strangers on the tube when my nose is pressed in their armpit, accidents happen and I've never stopped long enough while getting on and off the tube to want or give an apology, It was an accident I've had men sit on the bus next to me hands in pocket making suspicious arm movements, now them I'd like an apology from because what they was doing was intentional. But some guy accidentally putting his hand on me is not worth the embarrassment of him apologising for unintentionally groping me in front of a buss full of people is so not worth it.

If the bus is really crowded, you KNOW you have to pay attention even more. The fact OP didn't means everything that happened is 100% hia fault.

[@moakristenssom936]

Yeah. If anyone touches me like that, my first reaction is to try and remove their hand, whatever means necessary(like first trying to force the hand off me, and if they grip tighter(like OP) I'd probably resort to either clawing on their hand and arm, pushing them or just straight up slap them if nothing else works)

[@tabithastrock1914]

I was riding the bus with headphones on trying not to talk to anyone (anxiety is bad on busses for me). This guy gets on and demands to sit with me. There were about 5 completely empty seats (sets of 2 with no one sitting in them). I had a bad anxiety attack and told him no. He decided he had to sit there and only that seat will do. I told him to let me get up and he wouldn't let me out until I started screaming. People were looking at me funny but I just had to get out of the window seat and away from him. People think they have a right to push you to your limit. No one asked if I was ok or even asked him to let me out.... mind you plenty of completely empty seats around and he HAD to sit in the seat next to me. Normally I don't get like that but this day it was a I NEED to move to another seat. He put his hand on my butt as I tried to get past him. I told him to stop and got away from him. You have no right to touch another person and if you do by accident then just apologize to them.

I can’t believe the fiancé in story 1 had the balls to say what he said to the mother of his soon to be wife like that. I mean, what did he think the outcome was going to be?🤔 is he use to getting his way by threatening anyone who doesn’t conform to his whims? Has that honestly been working out for him, just because he’s richer than some, it’s ok to act like a douche?

1) NTA. 2) NTA. 3) Whether YTA or NTA. The "friend" is definitely the AH.

I have OCD and suffer from depression. Often times I'm honestly not hungry and most foods sound unappetizing. For me it's a win if I find something I actually want to eat. When it's at it's worst I don't always make the most healthy of choices, but sometimes it's just a better choice to eat something slightly unhealthy than it would be to eat nothing and sleeping instead.

Omg I love your flying story, and your Emotional Support Middle Seat Man! I giggled so hard over that image. I'm really glad you're okay, but I bet that guy has a great story now too!

Awwww 😂. Most people are nervous flyers Mark.

Story 1: I am that parent who would do what OP did, anyone who has a problem with special needs has no place in my home and family.

Your plane story did sound pretty scary tbh mark. But I must admit, picturing the part where you were holding the guys hand whilst repeatedly apologising but not being able to let go had gave me a good giggle. Thankgod that the couple were such good sports about it though lol.

Perfect timing mark I needed this video

Day 105 of reminding Mark that he's amazing and that his work is appreciated ❤️

NTA by a long shot. Your daughter dodged a poison bullet and your sisters care more about that creep than they do your own son. Well done for standing up for your son and saving your daughter from a lifetime of misery: and tell your sisters a few home truths then go no contact.
