Husband (27M) has been resentful of me (25F), because we went over budget on wedding, causing him to sell off all his investments.


:shepspends:

Congrats on starting your wedding on the best note, finding out that you guys can't negotiate things ahead of time and make sure other people follow through, and dealing with the inevitable last minute bullshit that tends to happen with this stuff.

Both sets of parents are mega lovely lmao, the "oh sorry emergency surgery no wedding contribution" is lol but "wait it costs HOW much, nope" is even more lol

It’s like an evil Pete:

I [36F] neglected my marriage and my husband [37M] fell for someone else

quote:

u/losingmyhusband
tl;dr: I put everything before my marriage; my husband fell for someone else; I don't know if he wants to work it out.

I put everything before my marriage: mostly work, but also my own interests, family, etc. My husband tried to talk to me about it on so many occasions. I didn't hear it, and he checked out.

A year has gone by since we last talked about it. I found out he's dating another woman. He wasn't even covering his tracks - he is just straight-up in a relationship with someone else and I was so self-absorbed and oblivious that I didn't even notice.

When I confronted him about it, he gave me an answer that I think will ring in my ears for the rest of my life. He said, "what the hell do you care? Like, what, now you give a poo poo about our marriage all of a sudden?" He wouldn't tell me anything about her other than, "she pays attention to me. That's the difference between you and her. That's all you need to know about it." He then retreated to the fold-out in his downstairs office, and that's where he's been sleeping.

I can't believe it took this for me to realize how bad things have gotten. This is all on me. He tried and tried and tried and I didn't reciprocate or listen to his needs. I took my marriage for granted and didn't put the work in. Now he's found someone who makes him happier than I make him.

I'm going to therapy however this pans out. Until then, is there anything I can do to win back my husband's love?

I mean he’s not a nice person, but I’m laughing at “Best ask the internet how to win back my husband’s love after ignoring his wants and needs all this time, instead of talking to him to find out if our marriage is salvageable”

Suspended from public school for posting "graphic content" online. How much authority do schools have to punish students outside of school? [Minnesota]

Both parties are horribly wrong in this case, but I’d still err on the side of the student. He should write up a bill for all of his unpaid work done creating and maintaining the site, and then offer to waive the fees if the school lets this drop. He could even graciously offer to sell the site to the school for a modest fee.

This should be a lesson to the school to not entrust their website to the sole ownership of a minor (I assume he was one when he started) or a student in general. They set themselves up for abuse through their lax attitude, which reflects much more poorly on an entire organization staffed by college educated adults than his being dumb reflects poorly on the student.

He was pretty on top of it and even had a google spreadsheet he shared with us that broke it down.

Hey I just watched that one! Chandler was like "it's for the future" and Monica was like "what?" Then Chandler explained how if you don't spend all your money on a wedding you can use money to buy things like a house and a dog and being able to have multiple kids, and she decided she was okay with a smaller wedding because she was saw that it was about the rest of their life together, but then Chandler decided he wanted her to have her dream wedding so she still won

It wasn't the school's website. It was his. If there were justice in the world he would tell the school to suck his drat balls and go back to class like nothing happened.

If he can go back to school and graduate like normal without his grades suffering he doesn't need to bother pursuing it further. A suspension is actually a free school vacation that doesn't count toward your absences.

If what they're doing screws with his future then he should definitely take them to court. His responses are childish, but in his defense he is a child and anyone who'd be outraged over what he did likes to get pointlessly outraged.

I [25 M] received a Snapchat video from my ex [26 F] of her bloody and bruised butt with a caption: "my new boyfriend did this and he does me really good"

u/polska_kielbasa
Why did she do this? I havent talked to her since august 2017, we dated for almost 4 years, and i received this horrific video at work out of the blue. I couldn't believe it, didn't know how to react, i started shaking, my heart pounding so I just blocked her and deleted her number.

My ex knew I was still in love with her and she knew I still missed her, i didnt say anything mean to deserve this video.

Before she sent me the video i asked her to not text me or send me pics if it would hurt me. She did anyway. Why did she do such an evil thing?

TL;DR why did she send me a video of her bruised butt from her new boyfriend?

Right. The school was using his website as if it was de facto theirs, which was an error for many reasons. They are now upset that their lack of foresight has caused problems and are retaliating like authoritarian organizations do. Nobody will win here, and nobody will learn a drat thing.

The correct response to the school requesting removal of an editorial they disagreed with would have been to tell them it’s not their website, but that they were welcome to write their own editorial if they wished.

So many things to pick apart. Why would she send a video after no contact for so long without warning? Why would she send a video of a battered butt? Why would he text her "please don't send me mean texts or pictures" lmao?


I don't even feel slightly confident to diagnose this one. She hates him a lot and thought he was a weiner of a lover (supported by his weiner text and her breaking up with him)? And she's been waiting to send this gotcha vid since they broke up but took until now to find a boyfriend who would batter her butt enough to make for an emasculating video??

It doesn't, but the impersonation angle would go nowhere once it becomes clear they were aware of the site's existence and at best did nothing to discourage its use, and, given that staff used it, probably actively encouraged it. Their initial request to take down an article demonstrates knowledge and acceptance of the site's existence.

A good judicial system would probably allow a case to be made that encouraging the site to be used as a semi official means of communication combined with an attempt to exert editorial control would mean that from the school's perspective they believed the site was not independent which would mean the work done was de facto work for the school. Given that the work was done by a minor (and even more, a student) it could then be argued that they were exploiting his naivete and are actually responsible for compensation. It's the US, though, so yeah that's not going to happen.

Yep. Towards the end of high school I got accused of something expulsion worthy that I absolutely did not do, and could prove I didn't do.
I wouldn't confess and they threatened to suspend me and I got positively belligerent because I was done with my major projects and was already accepted into university. I told them I'd love a suspension. They backed down and threatened to investigate further and that was the last I ever heard of it.

He is already suspended. If he shows up at school he will promptly sent home and only create further trouble for himself. He doesn't state how long he's been suspended for, but if I had to guess it's probably a week or two and he's probably not at risk of not being able to graduate (may not be able to walk though). Schools HATE having to explain why they aren't graduating a kid that would otherwise graduate because of behavior issues. It's apparently a massive pain in the rear end and hurts their numbers, which is basically all they care about.

Edit: It looks like he's deleted the post as well as his comments in the thread, but based on what's still there it doesn't sound like he's actually at risk of not graduating or anything. Most of the lawyers in there are telling him his chances in court are slim and could open him to actual criminal charges and he's best served by dropping it and moving on with his life.
