got any sevens posted:How could you miss out on "a chest of booty"? God dammit, that would have been perfect. I'm a bit ashamed that I missed that. Father-in-law goon: Next time he threatens you apologize for taking his property and offer to let him have sex with his daughter one last time to make up for it. That's part of that tradition too. If he gets even angrier 5hen it's time to posture up and prove who's the man. Who knows, if you kick his rear end enough you might end up with his wife too.

gently caress asking for permission to marry their daughter. You absolutely need to tell your fiance about this so she can talk to him. Maybe the guy is just joking around, but it isn't coming across like that or something. Either way, start hitting a heavy bag for five five minute rounds. It's good exercise and will help prepare you for your fight to rightfully claim your long term sexual partner from her father.

Fighting your new family is an awful idea even if it's justified. He isn't going to do poo poo, and you are only going to see him maybe once or twice a year tops (unless you're in an everybody loves raymond situation and live next door). Just offer a token apology that you don't actually mean and take out your rage passive aggressively instead by giving him bad christmas gifts every year or something.

Nah. Fight your father in law. But come up with something cool to say before the fight. Like crack your knuckles and say, "Get ready to be the father of the die!"

While travelling I found that I only ever had to deal with things that either easy to roughly convert if need be (kms/miles, feet/metres) or you just use your eyes for (what the weather like) so who cares The only thing that gets me is seemingly not having a precision measurement for building or whatever - m/cm/mm as opposed to ft/in/loving fractions or some poo poo this is my steaming hot take on units of measurement thanks for reading

A dude posted:"I'm going to beat your rear end soon, you should have asked" Take dad outside to the backyard when nobody's around, look him in the eye, and say "Do whatever you're gonna do." Don't lay a finger on him, just stand there. Maybe a 1% chance that he actually has a pair, but 99% likely he'll make excuses, then go "uh whuh buh buh I was just kidding! really!" Problem solved. If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's this: chumps make threats, real tough guys shut up and do poo poo.

Proper units of measurement: Celsius (Temperature) Inches (small distances) Kilometers (large distances) Astronomical Units (larger distances) Pounds (weight) Milliliters (Volume) Decibels (Volume (other))

KomodoWagon posted:Let him do his little posturing bullshit for a while, then catch him off-guard and kick his rear end. Preferably with a lot of people around. Either break some bones (I mean actually break them, irreversible damage) or just hold his head down and knock him on the temple until he starts shaking, then call an ambulance as a show of good faith. This should get him off your back, and show the rest of her family not to gently caress with you. If you tell your wife/fiancee afterwards, she'll understand, or she won't be worth the effort of a relationship anyway. No reason wasting your time on someone with so little respect for you that they'd let anyone talk to you like that. Yes, indeed, make sure there are as many witnesses as possible for the felony assault you're going to commit.

Therapist-GF goon, you did well, however I have a sneaking suspicion your excitement at not being murdered is too soon. You will die in your sleep tonight. But joking aside, I hope you checked the bathroom after a while to make sure your GF didn't do anything stupid, she sounds like she may be that kind of person...

I didn't mean just out in the open, I meant at like a family event where the story's bound to end up muddled up in he said she saids. No cop or DA is gonna want to touch that - too much hassle for no glory. Unless you kill him of course, then it turns into something they can brag about "solving."

quote:I am in my early 30s, and am heavily medicated for depression. I am the full-time care taker of my wife, who is entirely dependent on me for everything, refuses to have her mental illness treated, and would end up homeless without me because of how alienated she is from her family and friends. I'm not sure how I'd live with myself we we got divorced, but I also don't know how I'm going to deal with things beyond further doping myself up and getting drunk regularly. Therapy helps somewhat, in that I can recognize the negative thought patterns both she and I fall into, and the psychiatrist keeps me medicated, but her refusal to do anything beyond trying to willpower through for a bit and then fail and demand than I build her back up... It's just too much. yikes, this is a tough one Ok well, honestly, you've got enough of your own poo poo to deal with that you can't deal with your wife's poo poo for her. I think you're at the tough-love point by now. Tell her the reasons you love her and want the relationship to work (remind yourself that these exist), then tell her that you're struggling enough with your own mental issues that you need her to deal with her poo poo without your help. If she isn't going to take her illness seriously (and she really has to accept that she has one by now, I think?) the marriage cannot work. It's true, and you know it's true, and she has to know it's true too. If she doesn't get help in some form, next time she breaks down, just leave and come back when she's done. Ultimatums are BS but in cases like this I think it's really the only way to get through to her how dire her situation is. As it is right now by doing nothing you're basically enabling her. If she DOES take steps to address her issues, though, definitely try to be there for her and help her through the process and ask that she do the same for you as you deal with your issues. A relationship can work if it's a shared struggle through illness, but not if you're acting as an orderly in her private mental hospital. quote:i swear, the most foolproof way to tell whether someone is LGBT is whether they get stoked over red pandas, or if they even know that there is such a thing as a red panda. welp guess im gay
