Yeah but usually it's arranged by a bridesmaid, the moh, not the bride herself. So it's not awkward when she contacts the others like, "is this possible for you? I was thinking about doing x, y, and z." If you're going to arrange a party without consulting the people you're expecting to pay for it, that is a giant dick move, imo.

My buddy’s bachelor party is like this. A few states away, two weeks ahead of the actual wedding, which I actually am flying in for. I told the guy planning stuff that I couldn’t make two trips in two weeks and don’t have two weeks of time off. He was super cool and apologetic about it, as was the groom. I feel like that’s how most people are?

My (24f) girlfriend (27f) waved a knife at me

quote:

Yesterday evening my girlfriend arrived home and we sat down with a bottle of wine and our friend. The whole evening she was speaking in a very aggressive way (lots of hand gestures , pointing, virtually shaking) about what should have been just a normal conversation about passports. She drank the majority of the wine, launches into a 45 minute rant about how I am an idiot and a hypocrite And a bad person for doing the studies I do. I didn’t react in a very angry way back but I did ask her to take it down a notch. She was cooking something at the time and then suddenly comes at me waving a huge knife in the same really angry way. I asked her three times to put it down and eventually she had me virtually up against the wall

She says I am crazy to think she would stab me, but she severely beat up an ex of hers and has on many occasions thrown things at me or squared up to me asking ‘if I really wanted to see her get annoyed’

Is there ever a justification for this kind of thing? Did I over react?

TLDR my girlfriend waved a knife at me in an angry way and now I’m wondering if I overreacted

What a drama queen. The UK GP system is horribly understaffed and the doctor quite rightly left the grunt work to someone else. You get a 10 or 15 minute slot with a GP and they're not going to waste time on bandages, drawing bloods or other such things they have staff for.
Boo hoo, I had to wait some time for my free health care.

It was still within the 10-minute slot and it would've taken like 30 seconds. Would you really have been thrilled to sit around for another 45 minutes before a nurse was free? It's pretty ridiculous if that's normal there, and it doesn't explain the weird "the doctor doesn't have the skill to wrap a bandage" excuse.

(CA) Have custody laws caught up to poly-amorous relationships?

u/amethyn
This is more out of curiosity than anything as I am not directly involved in the situation. Forgive any unnecessary details, trying to be thorough.

A (female) friend of mine was in a poly-amorous relationship with three other people (two men and a woman). The other woman and one of the men were a legally married couple. They all lived together in the same home. If it matters, Friend was in a relationship with Wife, Wife was in a relationship with Husband and Friend, and Husband was in a relationship with Wife and Other Male. But Friend was not in a relationship with anyone other than Wife.

The wife became pregnant by her husband. This was a planned pregnancy and prior to getting pregnant, three of the four people in the relationship (the married couple and my friend) decided they would be parents to the baby (the other man in the relationship requested to have no parental relationship with the baby but he is still in a romantic relationship with the bio parents). My friend was incredibly active in the pregnancy, attended OB appointments, and was presented as the pregnant mother's wife to hospital staff despite not being legally married. Once the baby was born, my friend raised the baby with the two bio parents for several months and was referred to as the third parent to doctors, friends, family, etc. Abruptly, Wife decided that she wished to end the relationship with Friend and Friend was to have no further contact with the baby.

Would my friend have any grounds to seek visitation with the baby? The bio-mom, Wife, feels strongly that my friend should not be involved anymore and bio-dad is going along with her reluctantly. It's such a poo poo-show and I feel really badly for my friend, just wondering if the courts have caught up to these complicated relationships and how it affects custody.

The way too long story makes it unclear but it sounds like it’s literally a home-applied ace bandage, so exactly one step up from a band aid. You can reapply your own minor bandage just fine.

Standard process. Have you ever had a broken bone? You know when you have a fracture rather than just a bone bruise/chip. Like there's visual indications present with broken bones and a lot of people go into the doctor's office with a fake injury to get pain medication.

I mean it sucks that our GP system is understaffed due to a long-term and deliberate underfunding of the NHS with the ultimate goal of backdoor privatising it and selling it off to the highest (American) bidder, and thus getting minor injuries treated can be a tiresome and lengthy process.

But this guy is still being a whiny arsehole and an idiot to boot - who the hell wants a doctor to take bloods or put a bandage on? They're terrible at it, get a nurse who does it 200 times a day instead.

If he thought it was likely to be broken, he should have splinted it. An ace bandage does nothing and is irrelevant, and a head physician of a primary care practice does not have time to be personally applying ineffective psychological comfort treatments.

The 10 min window is the maximum an appointment can take for things not to overrun horribly. If you're not actively dying then the doctor is going to tell you go home and take some pain killers. The nurses are there to do that kind of job.

The OP is massive baby and need to take some responsibility for their own health. He clearly doesn't need it bandaged as he's got better things to do like post angrily on the internet. Like seriously what else was he going to do with his day? The bandage wasn't magically going to make the hurt go away so he was just choosing to be in agony somewhere else.
