Also you can get pinned by someone way weaker than you. The leverage is against the person in the bottom position. You can learn reversals in a BJJ class or judo class or whatever but like, someone smaller and weaker than you can definitely hold you down if they get the position right.

Guy with strong horsewife could just like, life weights for a few months. He would likely eclipse her strength drastically in a fairly short period of time if he really cared about how strong he was.

His thing isn't that he's strong, it's that she's supposed to be weaker than he is. That's all he wants.

The optimal solution here is for her to ask for help opening a pickle jar or something and then swoon over how great he is. She would have to loosen it up for him though.

No, the optimal solution is for her to leave her dork partner.

Absolutely not my dog. Financial power is everything in the United States of America and is used to dominate others way more than physical force.

I fully believe someone who beats thier wife can be rehabilitated but someone with actual power? Theyll do whatever the gently caress they want, whenever the gently caress they want.

I guess I don't think much about the whole "who can overpower whom" dynamic because I'm just a little scrawny guy. I just assume that I'm the one that's gonna get overpowered and try to avoid contests of strength

lol yeah the guy you quoted inserted a lot of his own ideas into whatever’s going on. Dude freaked when his wife expressed some kind of horniness and then yelled at her for not wanting sex after he blew up on her for no reason.

Sorry, I meant she probably left something out of her take of the story to make it appear that she's only getting his outrageous(and, no matter the take really, loving awful) behavior for no reason. I am not condoning nor defending either person when I say that there just seems like some detail is purposely omitted.

No matter the take, these two need some kind of counseling and/or sever.

Yeah, I was just speculating about what these two were doing but it's just face value fuckery on my part. But, in the history of all arguments I've been around, no one just snaps like that without there being an underlying cause.

Cause is either his mental stability or he has an axe to grind due to something that offended him earlier. Maybe both!

How much money do you have/make in order to be considered rich and therefore to be a guaranteed shithead? I believe in BFC the consensus is that $99,999.99/yr is not rich but one more penny and you get the guillotine.

Not really. An abuser who is rich has a lot more options to gently caress up your life than one who isn’t. A non-rich abuser is still terrible obviously, but having money gives you so many more ways to be a horrible person.

Plus rich people just suck in general.

I (24F) exploded on my Grammy (75F) during Christmas Dinner in front of the entire family. My parents want me to apologize.

quote:

A little back story: My grandparents are wealthy, which I think is significant to the story because it’s the reason why they get away with treating people horribly. The rest of the family puts up with it so they don’t get cut from whatever inheritance there might be.

My Grammy has always picked favorites. She has a favorite child and grandchild. My Dad has always said that if you’re lucky enough to be one of the favorites, “the world is at your fingertips and if you’re not, you’re left out with the trash”. I was the favorite for the first 17 years of my life because I was the only granddaughter, the rest of the grandkids were all boys.

My Grammy and I were really close and we spent a lot of time together. My parents had opened their own business and they were gone most of the time. So my Grammy was kind of like a mom. She picked me up from school, took me to all my extracurricular activities, etc. We were really close.

Then my messed up uncle (who is the favorite) had twin girls when I was 17. My grandparents are like parents to them too because he and his wife are always in and out of rehab. (It’s a long story, but basically my Grammy has enabled my uncle’s drug use and gambling for 40 years, all because he’s the favorite so he just keeps getting more and more money for more drugs and gambling). So now the twins are the favorites and I’m left out in the trash with the rest of the family. Now I know how they must’ve felt this whole time.

Every time I’ve seen my Grammy for the past 6 or so years she’s incredibly cruel and very very critical, granted I don’t see her often because she’s always with the twins. I recently got engaged and she told my she didn’t like my engagement ring. At my brothers wedding, the ONLY things she said to me was that I shouldn’t be drinking fattening drinks while I was sipping on a vodka and cranberry. I try calling her and she never calls me back. We have no relationship now and it’s not from my lack of trying. Things like that.

This Christmas we were all together and she never stopped taking care of the twins to acknowledge anyone else’s presence except for when she announced that my room in her house is now for one of the twins. She also spent a long time talking about how it’s not too late for my fiancé to call off the engagement in front of the whole family and it didn’t sound like she was joking. She also told everyone that I was too fat to ski this year (as we were going the next day). Side note, I’m not even fat but for some reason she has been obsessed with my weight my entire life. She started telling me that I needed to diet when I was in elementary school and I think it’s part of the reason I have low self-esteem as an adult.

Anyways, so all of these events transpired just before dinner. At the table, she asks me in a very nasty voice “so what did you learn today?” And I just lost it. I really couldn’t hold it back, it wasn’t so much screaming as it was uncontrollable sobbing and I just got out “you’re a really rude and nasty person and this is my last Christmas with you.” And then I left and haven’t seen her since.

The thing is, is that she is an open wound inside me that I try to fill with anger about her favoritism and criticism, but deep down it’s this immense hurt and loss that comes out as tears when the anger gets brushed away.

I’m done with her. I don’t want to apologize, even though my parents are basically forcing me to. I don’t want to hear her mean comments at my wedding as she dotes on her favorite twins, but also she’s my grandmother and I still want her in my life. But I want the old Grammy. I’m not sure what I should do.

TLDR: Grammy picks favorite, which I’m not anymore. I lost it on her and embarrassed myself at Christmas dinner because I was hurt by the things she said before. My parents want me to apologize, but I’m not even sure I want her in my life anymore as I always end up upset and crying when she’s around.

Is there anyway of getting your trust fund back if your parents donated all 100,000$ of it to a church because the child came out to them?
Not me but my friend recently told me that his parents had sent him a thank you letter from the church for his contribution of 100,000$ to them and that it would be going towards building a basketball court. I'm just wondering if there is any way to reappropriate it under his name only or anything?

I'm just furious at hearing that instead of loving their kid and giving him a future that they decide to throw away him and any educational support in the most horrendous way I can think.

Btw they called him on Christmas to tell him that he should move back so he can go to the churches "straight away" program (it tries to turn them straight with biblical propaganda and threats of hell etc.)

Edit: living in Canada

It's basically a cult church and its local so they know the family and the story behind it and support the parents...
