That fucking island. Makes you do shit you don’t wanna do. How is it we haven’t figured that out by now? 

AITA for prioritizing my work/code over my son?

Context: I am a mercenary, and although I can’t reveal what my name is, a rather successful one. I have built up this career through years and years of hard work, and one of the reasons I became so successful is the fact that I see my word as my bond, and as such, I do not break any promises or contracts. 

Now, I have a family, and for obvious reasons, I didn’t want them involved in my job, so I kept it a secret from them, even my wife. It went well for a few years, but recently, some enemies of mine found out who they were and kidnapped my youngest son, ‘J’. Naturally, as soon as my wife told me what happened, I told her everything, and we went to rescue my son. 

It turns out J was being held hostage, and that they would only let him go if I gave them information about a former client of mine. My wife begged me to submit, but I refused; it would have gone against my code of honor and it would’ve been a massive stain on my reputation, one that I would never recover from. I need this job; it’s one of the only things that keeps me sane, and loosing it was something I couldn’t risk. I told my wife I could save J, and I did, but I wasn’t fast enough to stop his throat from being cut. 

Now my wife is mad at me for prioritizing my word/work over my son’s life. As an ex-soldier herself, I feel like she should be able to understand the need to prioritize the job over human life sometimes, but she won’t hear it. AITA?

Edit: to address some questions, yes, I am sure J survived his cut throat, I called the hospital to confirm it.

Edit #2: again, to address some questions, no, I haven’t been to visit my son in the hospital since. I haven’t seen my wife either, since she’s spending her days with him.

Edit #3: MY WIFE FUCKING SHOT MY EYE OUT

“What? Like, a disabled protagonist? How would that even work? How could someone with a disability be the hero in an action show?” local anime trash boy wonders while sitting next to his box sets of Full Metal Alchemist, showing no hint of irony or self awareness. 

Funny how depending on who's saying it and where, the words "dark fantasy" could mean that the work contains a hardcore questionably ethical kink scenario, or it could mean that at some point there might be some kind of a Skeleton King.

I KNOW HOW MY FILTHY MUTANT ABILITIES UPSET YOU, SCHMIDT. DON’T WORRY–

JUST FISTS.

Y’know what? Fuck you. *Plays an acoustic guitar version of your leitmotif to show you still have tenderness and care in your heart, and compassion for others*

Tumblr drama vs other social media drama is so funny

Facebook drama: I will not be going to Uncle Todd's dinner tonight because he keeps saying racist stuff ♥️

Twitter drama: I cannot BELIEVE she said a slur 7 years ago. #canceled

TikTok drama: Is Chad Chaddington III ch3ating on Ash-Lindseigh????

Tumblr drama: *unintelligible paragraphs between coochiemonsterfromsesassmestreet and destielsfavoritepony37 (who apparently owns an illegal baby racing company)*

We're YOU the one who stole my cheese-its?

I watched Encanto today and I can only think about how Pepa’s children have the perfect gifts for gossip.

Dolores hear everything, Antonio can get any information with his animals. I won’t even comment on Camilo’s possibilities.

They know everything.
