Not the Asshole for Leaving Early
Am I the asshole for leaving a date early because she didn't tell me she was pregnant? The poster met for dinner and found out the woman was six months pregnant, which was not disclosed prior. Since he was clear about not wanting kids, he left early. He received a text later accusing him of rudeness.
Not the Asshole for Wanting Partner to Use Bathroom
Am I the asshole for wanting my partner to use the bathroom indoors instead of urinating outside? The poster's partner peed outside despite having indoor plumbing nearby, causing embarrassment for the poster. The poster finds it unnecessary and gross, while the partner insists it's normal for men to do so.
