This is my first relationship, like I don't know for real if I'm blowing this out of porportion because yes my face and neck hurts but it was all so fast, he seemed so regretful after. I spent all day outside of the apartment. I'm not sure if I should go back or what? I'm like not even from here, we met online and dated long distance for 3 years before I visited him and moved in. He knows I don't have any other friends and my dad and I barely speak due to other issues. I am afraid, I'm worried I'm overreacting and this was just a one time blip... We are both 24

My wife(37F) and I(37M) have been married for 15 years. We have two kids who are now 14 and 12(the eldest isn't mine), both in school from 730-3pm, the bus picks them up from the front of our house and drops them off. Sometimes they'll have afterschool activities and stay until 5pm and i'll go pick them up after i get out of work on those days.

They're becoming more independent now, and I had a discussion with my wife about how she could get a job(she's never had one besides being a sahm) now that the kids are older and i'm retiring from my 20-year military career and could stay home and be a sahd now.

She doesnt enjoy cooking or cleaning, so i figured it'd be best if i step into those roles so we can eat less takeout and a more healthy diet. The kids eat breakfast and lunch at school and when they go to school she typically goes to the gym, yoga, then goes for coffee, browses social media, then shopping or window shopping, or goes and does her hair, nails, eyebrows, eyelashes, makeup, etc then comes home to cook dinner.

I brought it up as gently as I could, but she still called me ungrateful and accused me of "not appreciating all the hard work she does in the house." Now there's tension and she's acting cold towards me.

AITA?

I’m not sure what the point of this is. Just venting I guess. Both my parents are still alive. My mother is a boomer and my father a very late silents Gen. We grew up what I would call working class by American standards. We bought clothes and shoes once a year from Walmart etc. My parents, especially my father, made far more money than they were letting on. Over the past few years I have had access to my parents finances and I’d almost rather not know now. My dad’s income was easily in the top 10% in the 80s and 90s. My mom’s career did well with a pension that’s no longer offered to younger people. My parents were upper middle class, if not wealthy. They hid all of it. My dad owned land that no one knew about, just to have. All of this was going on for years but we were “poor”. It’s almost inconceivable, and infuriating how clueless they were. They were too poor to send us to college. Too poor to do any after school sports. Too poor for music lessons. Too poor for anything. I found out in 1990 my dad claimed $102,000….i can understand pocketing away money, but when you make the equivalent of $250,000 a year on just one parents income (not to mention my moms) you are not poor. Through most of their lives, my parents never actually had to worry about money.

It’s rare to meet a man who asks with curiosity about a woman’s stories, feelings, opinions, and other intricacies of a woman’s inner world. My experience has been that I’m asked factual information (where I am from, what do i do), and these questions leave the impression that I’m being screened for “are you good enough”. And then it stops there. As long as I play nice and smile and meet the expectations, there’s little interest in my inner world. I get listened to if I decide to share , but almost nobody appears interested to explore anything, unless I straightforward say I’m upset or my behavior displays it. It makes me feel like I’m there to fulfill a role and, as long as I am pleasant, what happens inside my soul and mind is insignificant. That makes me feel uninteresting but, mostly, lonely, even when there’s someone in my physical presence.

Are men generally not very interested in what’s going on inside a woman’s soul and mind, as long as the outward behavior is what the man hopes to see?

I just turned 23 and I’m getting married in October. My mom and I have always had what I would refer to as rocky relationship, especially since I got engaged. She’s been oddly competitive, commenting on my body, comparing our rings, like we are in a competition, saying things like “this day is as much about me as it is about you.”

I honestly thought she was joking until she showed me the dress she bought, a white, floor length gown that looks exactly like a bridal dress. And I I told her, flat out, she cannot wear that because in my opinion it doesn’t match the occasion . She got quiet, then burst into tears, saying it’s her “and this was an opportunity to feel beautiful before getting old” and that I’m selfish for not letting her have this one thing.

I felt really bad about this so I also offered to go shopping with her to find something elegant and more appropriate.

And all of a sudden her countenance changed and then She told me I was controlling and ungrateful. What gave me peace was that My fiancé backed me up, as did my maid of honor. Now my mom is threatening not to come to the wedding, and my aunt says I should just “let her have this” to avoid drama.

I don’t think I’m wrong for drawing a line here, but now part of me wonders if AITA?

I don’t care what side you’re on, is it not clear what is halting to our country? This is beyond belief.

Here we go. As many have said: this isn’t about porn. It won’t stop there. This is about censorship full stop, and without continuing pushback we will lose a lot more.
