Given a post that is a real-life anecdote of a complex ethical situation and an associated claim about its type, verify if the claim is true or not. The claim asks if the posts are historical or hypothetical. The posts are "HISTORICAL" when the author has already done something and they are "HYPOTHETICAL" when the author is considering doing something in the future. Say 'yes' if the claim is true otherwise say 'no'

Question: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : I feel like an absolute retard because this is the lamest post I've ever made in my life, but my girlfriend has been hinting to me that she wants a new phone for her very first Christmas (her Iphone 5 is 6 years old and fucked).

Just to preface, she's by no means gold digger, we always pay for one and other when we go out for a meal or buy something. We are both stingy people, and she has made me more conscious of my spending. 

Anyway, I'm happy to buy her a new phone, but she's been hinting at one of the newer model IPhones (IPhone 8, XR, w/e) which I think is a waste of money since, from my research, they aren't that different in specifications from the IPhone 6, which is far cheaper in comparison. I don't like the idea of disappointing her on Christmas but I'm not spending 800 - 1k AUD on some overvalued phone, so I implicitly said to her that the IPhone 6 is better bang for buck and than any higher model and she argued against me, saying that it was only 1 model after her phone, blah blah. 

Honestly the technical details of the argument are irrelevant, I just want to know how I should handle this behaviour. Am I being a stingy asshole? Am I an asshole for not wanting to buy a product I don't believe is worth it for HER? I was considering working part time for like 10 shifts just to pay for the phone XD but am I just spoiling her? Honestly if she said "Oh a 6 would be fucken sweeeeet" I would have done that for her but now she has pissed me off.

Help me assholes

Answer: yes


Question: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : Background: I'm a stay at home mom. My darling husband works full time plus some in tech. He gets home every night around 5:30 or 6. Right when he gets home we all have dinner and then the babies go right in the bath and we start bedtime routines which usually last until about 7:30. 

My complaint to my husband is that after dinner, I'd like to have a break. 10 min alone out in the garden to decompress from the day. My toddler doesn't nap anymore so this will literally be the first time since 6:30am that I get any time alone for the day. My husband drives home from work everyday and gets the 20 min drive alone and I think I should get a bit of time too. His argument is that the drive is not relaxing, it's his commute. I understand that he'd rather not be driving but it doesn't change the fact that he gets that 20 min alone before he faces bedtime with a toddler and a baby. He believes I shoud take my "break" when the kids are down like he feels he does. 

Tell me Reddit, am I the asshole here? 

Answer: yes


Question: CLAIM : The following post is HISTORICAL. POST : My husband (54) and I (55)have been together for 28years.  He has bipolar, epilepsy, and a spanking fetish.  He has said that is the only thing that turns him on. 

When we married 28years ago, I was just beginning to deal with my own traumatic experiences with my drunk dad and my narcissistic mom. Throw in that my youngest brother molested me when I was a young child.  

I have worked out a lot of my issues in therapy. I asked him to go to individual therapy but he said no every time.  My head is truly clear for the first time. 

I just don't love him....he says he loves me.  I feel like leaving him is like kicking a puppy.  He is very emotionally sensitive.  He has a lot of good in him but is also very self deprecating and introverted.  

Our 2 sons are 22 and 20 respectively.  My oldest doesn't want me to divorce his father. My younger son doesn't  know yet.


Answer:
no
