Mom, Dad, I humbly suggest you save some money and shop Amazon for back to school. It's for my growth, meaning my body's growing at an alarming rate. And clothes you buy me this year will be very small very soon. Plus, the clothes I love today will be out of style tomorrow. But at least your wallet doesn't have to be my fashion victim if you shop low prices for school at Amazon. Hopefully this is helpful. Amazon. Spend less, smile more.

Welcome to r slash Am I the Butthole where OP lands a job that pays over half a million dollars a year and his girlfriend says, okay, well, I'm going to cheat on you. Am I the Butthole for breaking up with my girlfriend because she literally told me she would cheat on me if I took a new job? Okay, this is going to come across as first world problems. I am currently at a job where I earn about 250k a year. I have an opportunity for a job where I'll get 640k a year? WHOA!

The caveat being that this new job is overseas. I'll be gone for 4 months at a time instead of 4 weeks at a time. My girlfriend is unhappy. She says that she doesn't want me gone for that long, that she'll get lonely. I tried to explain that I'll only be doing this job for 1 or 2 years and the money I make sets us up for a bright future. We can pay off all of our debts, we could buy a house. We can travel during my off time. She then said that she doesn't care about any of that and that if I'm gone for that long, she might need company. I didn't understand her at first and I said that we

could get the dog that she's been wanting to get. She said she meant human company. I said that she has lots of company at work and at school and she was welcome to use our place to socialize all she wanted. She then spelled it out because I was too stupid to think that she was a decent human. She said that she wasn't going to go for months without intercourse. I said I completely understood and broke up with her. She's going crazy right now. She's at her sister's house calling me and texting me constantly.

She says I misunderstood and that she would never cheat on me. Like I said, I'm gone for a month at a time now, so I'm pretty sure she's been lonely before. I can't trust her and I'm not going to try and build a future with someone who can't think about plans. The top post is, bro, for $ thousand dollars. I'd be faithful to you You know what's so crazy about this is I think the average woman would dream Of hooking a man like this this dude makes 250k on a bad year and on a good year

It's over a half a million and she's like, yeah Well, I feel like cheating so you're just gonna have to deal with it. What? What is this woman thinking? Anyways, OP, just dump her and move on with your life. If your partner tells you they're gonna cheat on you under any circumstances, that's a deal breaker in my opinion. OP, you get zero out of five buttholes. I'm giving the girlfriend, I'm giving the girlfriend let's say two out of five buttholes but I don't really need to be too harsh on her because she's gonna be harsh on herself for the rest of her life. Talk about the one that got away.

Man, OP. She's gonna be punching the air, crying into her pillow for the next 20 years thinking about you. Oh, actually, it looks like I read the incorrect comment. He was talking about petroleum extraction, but specifically what he does is construction project management. So my guess is that he's building an oil rig. I mean, probably either building an oil rig or building like the infrastructure that you need for one of those giant mega mines like a strip mine, something in that ballpark for sure. Am I the butthole for offering to sell my seat to honeymooners? I was flying from Melbourne to Dubai.

I paid for a premium economy seat because it's a 14 hour flight and I want to be comfortable. The person in the seat next to me had been upgraded and they asked me if I could switch my seat with their wife because they had just gotten married and they were on their honeymoon. I congratulated him and I asked him where his wife was sitting. He pointed towards the back of the plane, in economy. I congratulated him and I asked him where his wife was sitting. He pointed towards the back of the plane, in economy. I declined to switch seats. He asked me if there would be a way to convince me. I offered to switch if he paid the difference between the seats. It would have cost him a thousand dollars. He said they were on a budget for their honeymoon. I congratulated him

once again and I put in my earbuds. He muttered that I was a butthole. I said he was a prick for taking the upgrade instead of either sitting with his wife or giving it to her. I told my wife about the incident and she thinks that I should have done the nice thing. For the record, my wife hates flying in economy so I know that she wouldn't have switched. Well if that guy wanted to sit next to his wife so badly, then I'm sure he could have switched seats with whoever was sitting next to his wife in economy. I bet they would have loved to sit in first class. But no, they expect you to pay for their free upgrade. OP, you get 0 out of

5 buttholes. That guy gets 1.5 out of 5 buttholes. Am I the butthole for telling my ex's mother that her son physically abused me, which led to it breaking their family? I'm a 24 year old woman and I broke up with my ex, a 24 year old guy, after a few years of hell. While we were living with his family, he would beat me from time to time. I was blackmailed and threatened by him to stay silent for so long. I had to hide the bruises on my ribcage from his family. But eventually I found the courage to escape and end this toxic relationship. I kept in contact with his mom, Sandra, who's like a second mom to me, and we meet for coffee every now and then.

She doesn't know the real reason why I broke up with her son. While I was in therapy, Sandra texted to check how my sessions were going and asked me to the cafe afterwards. She knew that I was going to therapy but had no clue what for. We sat in the car for a bit, chatted, and I showed her some worksheets that I was given from my therapist. Basically, it was a printout about domestic violence. Sandra looked through the sheets and became manic and worried and asked why I was having therapy for domestic violence. Sandra looked through the sheets and became manic and worried and asked why I was having

therapy for domestic violence. I explained to her that her son physically abused me. She was mortified to say the least and we both ended up in tears and hugged each other. I received a text a week later from Sandra that she recommended anger management centers and therapy for her son, which he refused. So she told him that unless he seeks professional help, she's cutting him out of her life. She canceled all holiday, birthday and Christmas plans with him for the rest of the year. I did not expect that.

I then got told by our mutual friends that my ex is now suicidal because I told his mom about the abuse. I know that it was her decision to kick him out and his actions to me are unforgivable. But I can't help feeling guilty for breaking up their family and causing her son to be suicidal. Am I the butthole? I mean, what? Are we supposed to feel sorry for this abuser?

Oh boo hoo, he can ruin someone else's life but when he faces the consequences of his actions we're supposed to feel sympathy? Nah, not me man. Oh boo hoo, he can ruin someone else's life but when he faces the consequences of his actions, we're supposed to feel sympathy? Nah, not me man. OP, you get 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving your abuser 4 out of 5 buttholes. Am I the butthole for selling my house to get rid of my stepkids? My wife passed away in 2022. She left me 3 adult stepkids who have all been very clear that I am not their parent despite me being in their lives for over 10 years. Their father has retired to the Philippines. Their ages are 21, 22, and 25.

Their mother and I have been helping them out to find a place to live because our city is very high cost of living. The youngest is still in school but the other two are employed. After their mother passed away, they stopped doing anything around the house. We hadn't been charging them rent so that they could save money. The older two were responsible for their own bills. Other than that, I paid for power, water, internet and utilities. We even provided food for the youngest.

Now they do nothing to help around the house. I have to hire a cleaning lady to help. It's stupid. So, I put the house up for sale. The price on my house has gone up so much since I bought it that I thought that I could also retire to the Philippines. It took no time at all to sell and I'm moving out to my cabin. I gave each kid 10k and I told them the house was sold.

They're not idiots, they've seen the for sale sign and they've been around for the open houses. Now they're getting upset with me for throwing them out of their home. I guess they did do some of their growing up there, but they never treated it much more than just a place to sleep. I think that their mom would be disgusted with how they treated me in our home. They pulled their money and got an apartment, but if they count on only the money that I gave them, they'll have nothing in a year. Yo, OP, you gave your stepkids $10,000 each and people think that you're the bad guy? How? Where?

In what universe? I'm curious, how many of my viewers got handed $10k when they left the house? Cause I know I didn't. OP, you get 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm't. OP, you get 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving your stepkids 1.5 out of 5 buttholes. Am I the butthole for refusing to let my in-laws see my daughter after what they did during her birth? I'm a 29 year old woman who recently gave birth to my first child, a beautiful baby girl named Lily! Hey, like me OP!

My husband's 32 and he and I have been over the moon, but our joy was ruined by an incident with my in-laws that I can't get over. For context, my mother-in-law Karen and father-in-law Bob have always been overbearing and intrusive, but my husband and I have tried to keep the peace. Throughout my pregnancy, Karen constantly criticized my choices, from my diet to my birth plan. She insisted on being in the delivery room, which I firmly declined. She threw a fit, claiming that she had every right to be there as the grandmother, but I stood my ground. When I went into labor, my husband and I headed to the hospital. Everything was progressing normally

until I was about to start pushing. That's when the door burst open and Karen and Bob charged in, having lied to the nurses to gain access. I was in the middle of a contraction, in immense pain, and suddenly I had my in-laws in my face shouting encouragement and trying to film the birth on their phones. I was mortified and enraged. I screamed at them to get out, but they refused, saying they had a right to be there. My husband tried to get them to leave, but they wouldn't budge. The nurses and the other hospital staff had to physically remove them from the room. This caused such a commotion that my labor stalled and I ended up needing an emergency C-section due to the stress and the delay they caused. After Lily was born, Karen and

Bob were unapologetic. They actually had the nerve to post about the birth on social media, including pictures they took during the chaos, without our consent. They announced our daughter's name and details before we had a chance to. And even worse, they shared a picture of me trying to push. I was pissed and heartbroken. This was supposed to be a private, special moment for my husband and me, and they completely violated that. I decided then and there that they wouldn't see Lily until they showed genuine remorse and apologized. When we got home from the hospital, they demanded to visit. I told them they weren't welcome and explained why.

Karen blew up, saying that I was being cruel and a B-word denying them their right as grandparents. My husband is supportive but torn because they're his parents. They've since started a smear campaign against me to the rest of the family, painting me as the villain who's keeping their grandkid away for no good reason. Now I'm getting calls and messages from extended family on my husband's side, accusing me of being heartless and unforgiving. They say that I should put it behind me for the sake of family harmony, but I can't. Also, my husband's two sisters are saying that if they were kind enough to forgive me after I threw a hissy fit and embarrassed and insulted them by getting them thrown out of our delivery room, then I should forgive them too.

Every time I think about what they did, I get so angry and upset. I don't trust them and I don't want them around my daughter until they truly understand and regret the pain that they caused. Am I the butthole for refusing to let my in-laws see my daughter after what they did during her birth? I want to share a quick fact here that I didn't learn until after my wife and I had a baby. But once you have one c-section, then all future births have to also be a c-section because it's too risky to push when you have scar tissue on the uterus. So because of the in-laws' terrible behavior, they've condemned

OP to have to endure surgery for every single future pregnancy she ever has in her life. This is genuinely disgusting behavior. OP, you get 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving your in-laws 3.5 out of 5 buttholes. Which I don't know, maybe you guys may see as too harsh, but I will admit I get overly sensitive when it comes to issues of parenthood and being a good parent and kids and that kind of thing.

I'm a softy! What can I say? Becoming a dad has made me sensitive about this stuff. Am I the butthole for telling a woman off after she asked me to put on clothes at a nude hot spring? So there's a natural hot spring about an hour drive from where I live. It's on public land and it's a relatively well-known hotspot. This hot spring explicitly allows for nudity and there are signs up warning prudes who

have complained for years that, yes, people are allowed to be nude here. I have been going there about once a week recently and every time I get nude. I like to go Sunday mornings because it's mostly empty. Last Sunday I arrived and stripped down as normal. There was another woman there who was using the springs as well and I chatted with her for a bit. After about 20 minutes, another woman arrived and came over to talk to me. The woman explained that her three kids were around the corner and wanted to use the hot

springs. I could see the kids down the trail. They looked to be in the age range of 12 to 6. I was really confused because there was plenty of room still so I told her very confused, okay? She was trying to subtly tell me what she really wanted but she had to spell it out for me. She then asked me to get decent. I was taken aback at first and told her no, I wasn't done using the spring yet and I only had the clothes that I was going to wear back home. She then TOLD me, not asked me, to leave so that her kids could use the spring.

This pissed me off so I told her to go eff herself and we argued for a bit. She ended up storming off. The lady who was in the spring got out and told me that I'm a butt hole so I called her a b-word. I left about 20 minutes later and I saw the woman and her kids walk back to their car. I waved at her and said to enjoy the hot springs and she flipped me off. While I was really angry in the moment, I'm starting to feel like I got dragged down to her level and I made a fool out of myself. Opinions? What? This is like going to, I don't know, an old folks home and then being surprised and angry that there are old folks there. What did you expect? OP, I don't know, an old folks home and then being surprised and angry that there

are old folks there. What did you expect? OP, I'm giving you 0 out of 5 buttholes. I'm giving the Karen 1 out of 5 buttholes. That was r slash amyethhebutthole and if you liked this content be sure to follow my podcast because I put out new reddit podcast episodes every single day.
