Tbf I have a sinking feeling that childbirth IS a whole lot more painful than an abortion (physically anyway) so yeah I can see an exasperated mum loosing the plot at that point. Nothing the teenager is saying makes any sense to anyone outside her own head. It's a case of "1.have baby 2.parents do all the work???? 3.profit!"
I don't like the mum, but I can't blame a clear cold thinker having a meltdown in the face of pure chaotic impulse.

Having a baby to this girl is probably akin to buying an exotic pet or getting an exotic breed of dog to show off on Instagram.

Betting on exotic pet here considering the teenager thought her parents would take care of the kid full time while she goes to college and apparently just leaves the kid behind or whatever.

I definitely don't see a problem banning pregnant daughter from vacations. The parents shouldn't have to pay for the baby to go too, and who wants a baby on a family vacation with the older kids anyway? Sounds like the daughter is the type of person to leave the baby with the grandparents in the hotel room while she goes out and does vacationy things.

I (32 M) went through my fiancee’s (30 F) phone and found out that the last ten years of my life has been a lie.

quote:

So I'm not even sure how to say this, so please forgive me for the wall of text. My and my Fiancee have been together for 10 years, and we've been engaged for 5. Recently things have been very rocky for us. In fact i've been trying to get us help for years. I had been supporting her financially full time for over two years. I took jobs abroad in order to help bolster our savings. I paid everything for the house, bills and all, while sending her extra money. When I moved back home this routine continued. I would pay for everything, and end up having to borrow her money that never was repaid. She was also emotionally and physically unavailable. She started going out on weekends "with friends". I started to ask her to stay home on some weekends so we could hang out, and she would get upset telling me that she's severely depressed, and hanging out with her friends was the only thing that made her happy. She would tell me I was a jerk etc for trying to take that away from her. I finally reached by breaking point and went through her phone. I discovered that she's been cheating on me with another, and at that point I don't know how long.

I confronted her on it, and she admitted to cheating. She tried to tell me that it's because I didn't try hard enough. That I should have forced her into counseling because she was depressed, and that simply talking about it wasn't enough. She proceeded to ask me to work through it, but unfortunately I had hit my breaking point. She then had the audacity to ask me if I could continue to help her out with money while we tried to "fix things". I told her it was over.

This is when all the lies started to crumble down. She had told me a lot about her past, how she was adopted, how her adoptive parents beat her, and were abusive towards her. How they had stolen over $20000 from her. She told me about the time she was raped by her step father. Told me that she dropped out of university because of the theft from her parents. She told me how she had a gambling problem in the past, but was over it. She told me about abusive boyfriends that raped her. Recently she bought a new car. She has awful credit and needed a co-signer. I declined because she was in debt and I was already helping out, and she was stressed from payments already. I told her that it would be a bad decision. She said her Dad would cosign instead, and cover the first two years of payments. She told her Dad that I cosigned, and she told her dad that I cosigned. The new guy was the co-signer.

I also found out I wasn't the only person giving her money. When she sold her old car to a friend of ours, they made a deal that her friend would make bi-weekly payments. My fiancee came to me to complain that this person wasn't making payments, and that she needed more money from me to help out. Turns out my friend was making payments the whole time, and my ex was lying about it. She was also telling her father that I was having financial problems and she was paying my bills. To help out he recently gave her over $20,000. Along with other payments along the way. She was also talking to friends of friends borrowing money off them too. After putting together all the pieces, I discovered that this relationship has been going on for longer than the few months she said it was. I found proof that her and this guy have been looking for houses together right around August.

The same time that he co-signed for her car. After talking to other people, I found out that nothing she told me about her childhood is true. Her adoptive parents are her real parents. She was never raped, her dad never stole money. She never went to university, infact, when I was picking her up there, she was finishing her Grade 12 because she dropped out. I also found out that her Gambling habit was way worse than I thought. That she had a previous addiction to cocaine, and is probably sitting with 70-80 thousand in debt right now.

Basically everything over the past 10 years was a straight up lie. I guess I should be thankful I found out now before I had kids or anything. I got out of this only having given her $30000, and a 1/3 of my life.

I've decided that I'm going to seek counseling by myself to resolve the trust issues she's left me with. I'm just honestly floored that someone could lie like this. And now I'm starting my journey to healing by sharing it out there.

Please, don't be as trusting as me. When red flags start popping up, do yourself a favour and look into them. It may just save you time, money, and heartbreak.

Come on hee-ho, just give us 300 more macca


It came from Dear Prudence slate's parenting advice column: My Sister is Marrying a Convicted Rapist

quote:

Dear Care and Feeding,

My younger sister has made a lot of choices in the last few years that my family has struggled with. After shocking us with a divorce, she’s now engaged to a man twice her age who’s in prison for an inappropriate relationship with a previous student (also half his age).

My sister met him at church before he went to prison, and says that he’s turned his life around and is heartbroken for his past transgressions. They plan to marry this fall.


The entire situation has been tough for our family, but I’ve worked hard to support her and love her through everything, even though she knows I don’t necessarily agree with her decisions.

The issue is how to handle this when her fiancé gets out of prison, and they get married. My husband and I live across the country and only come home a few times a year, but we have a young daughter, and I’m not comfortable with her being around a registered sex offender.

I know that my sister believes him to be a good guy, and I don’t want to be unreasonable, but I feel like I want him to be around my daughter as little as possible, and absolutely never without me present.

My sister casually mentioned that next year they could join us for our yearly family vacation, and my heart stopped. The thought of being under the same roof with that man scares me.

Am I being irrational, or is this a valid concern? I’m a Christian, and I do believe that God can change people and that everyone deserves forgiveness. But his past behavior landed him in jail, and that seems severe enough for me to create boundaries.


If my feelings are valid, how do I address this without hurting my incredibly sensitive sister?

—Conundrum

Don't bother sparing your sister's feelings; just stay away

It's not being a gigantic prick to say that encouraging a teen to keep a baby at the age of 15 is moronic

While it's 100% ultimately her decision and her body, I don't think it's in any way controversial whatsoever to say a pregnant 15 year old girl in 2019 America making the decision to keep her not-baby is dumb as hell and should absolutely not be happening under any circumstances. This is assuming said 15 year old lives in a state/county with adequate access to abortion, of course, which she does in this scenario.

Like, it's totally fine and cool to pull from your own life experiences and say it worked out alright with you, your teenage mom, and your family, but actually wishing that life on a real life actual current teenager and her child who can choose otherwise is insane, disingenuous, downright rude, and abusive. gently caress that noise.

Second, toilets are funny things - they're extremely important, but also pretty uncomplicated, and 99% of the time whatever's wrong can be fixed by one person and a trip to Home Depot. "The toilet's hosed" is kind of a test-moment when it comes to what the kids call "adulting," and boy did he fail it. She didn't fail it, she rose to the occasion, and there was nothing wrong with calling for more experienced help, but just laying down the whole time...unforgivable. That guy's a bum.

I've got a weirdo cousin that was into MLP and what-not but he was still largely tolerated because 'family' (just don't leave him unattended with kids). However, the time the whole tribe assembled and re-did his parent's roof, including my brothers that were his age, and he spend the whole weekend inside playing WoW and only came outside to ask his mom when she was going to give him something to eat...after that nobody really put any effort into including him in anything.

This one is a huge wall of text, but sort of worth to read how the wife has a complete breakdown and becomes extremely paranoid. I trimmed the updates because :words:, here's the original.

I (37M) started running almost two years ago, wife (43F) has become more and more jealous overtime and it's getting really hard to endure.

quote:

I'm tall and lean, but not muscular; wear glasses, definitely not so immensely attractive that my wife should have any cause to worry about having a bunch of women chasing after me. I never had a specific workout routine, but I was always very active (prefer to walk or bike to places instead of taking the car for example) and about two years ago I started running after a conversation with a (female) coworker. I quite got into it, because I find that while I'm running my mind tends to dump all the problems and stress away and I can relax, something that I always had issue with. For a while this was no issue and my wife didn't even pay attention to the activity.

That changed last year when said coworker had an extra ticket for a 10K because the friend of hers she was supposed to go with had sprained her ankle. I had never run a race, so I accepted. I liked the race a lot (running with a crowd really gives you an extra "push" to perform better, and I was actually very surprised that I finished slightly over an hour) so I commented I might start doing races whenever there's one nearby. That's about when trouble started.

Initially it was subtle, like asking to track my cellphone via GPS while I'm out running "just in case you have an accident", to which I didn't think twice about and just permanently enabled Location Sharing on Google Maps. She asked to accompany me to the races, to which I was happy about, but she quickly got bored of having to wait in the car for an hour and stopped doing so. Most of the races I did alone and I was unaware of any issues, until there was another opportunity to race with my coworker and her friend, who had recovered from the sprain. We ran a 10K and had a blast afterwards, taking pictures and posting them on Facebook to celebrate the completion, then I went home.

She was a complete nervous wreck and in tears. She has been convinced I'm cheating with my coworker, her friend, or some other runner, and made me quite aware of the high ratio of attractive female runners in the races. I was completely unaware that she saw our age difference (she's older) as an issue, and accused me of sleeping around with someone younger.

Eventually she calmed down, but it has really not been the same since. The accusations and guilt-tripping every time I go on a run, just around town and not even a race with anybody, are getting more and more difficult to endure.

Last month I ran a 21K by myself, and had a 2 hour time, which I was very very happy about. My happiness faded away very quickly when I got home to accusations of cheating, again, because Google Maps had not been able to track me for a portion of the run for whatever reason and just showed me stopped in the same place, so she is convinced that, in the middle of a half marathon, I stopped somewhere, hosed someone, then managed to finish the run under 2 hours anyway. Showing her my Strava tracking with the actual movement during the entire run didn't change her mind.

I actually haven't run AT ALL since then because of it, and I really miss it. I just don't know how to deal with the situation. Bottom line is that she sees my running as an excuse for cheating and nothing I say will convince her otherwise. And to be perfectly honest, in a way I can't tell her to her face, I think her demands are loving bullshit and she needs to leave me alone and stop ruining my hobby.

Thoughts? Help? Advice?

Edit: a lot of questions to respond indivually and I'm leaving the office soon, so I'll respond to the ones that keep coming up.

  • Please do not insult my wife.
  • Neither one of us is cheating.
  • I don't mind the GPS tracking.
  • I am not friends with my coworker.
  • I have no interest in including my coworker into my life.
  • I do not run regularly with my coworker.
  • My coworker is married.
  • I have invited my wife to take part in the running.
  • She does have her own hobbies, and I do get involved with them (Xik note: It's gaming).
  • Sex life was fine, thanks.
  • Some of you are making good points about how my wife would see things differently.

The main issue is that I wasn't sure on how to start the conversation with my wife, and on that point I think /u/lilolladywho gave me an absolutely awesome solution that I'm eager to implement, right here: https://www.reddit.com/r/relationship_advice/comments/b648pg/i_37m_started_running_almost_two_years_ago_wife/ejiq3fq/

I think that the shirt will be a great conversation starter since it will show my interest in HER while running, as well as running WITH her if possible. This is a very simple thing that I wouldn't have thought of myself, so for that alone I am calling this thread a success. A lot of you told me things I needed to hear and offered solutions once dialog is established, but /u/lilolladywho just gave me the way to get that dialog started, I think. Thank you very much.

Also just loving lol that reddit suggested getting a shirt with her wifes face on and he actually thinks it is a good idea.

A couple thousand pages back, we discussed my niece having a kid at 14.

She got some, not much, help from the father, lots from her mother, and more from the county. Even so, today she'll tell you how hellish it was. She kept the girl, and that girl is about to start college. Without getting pregnant along the way.

So while it is possible to recover, it is very hard and only possible with the rest of the family's help.

AITA for being upset about my boyfriend spending money on toys when he's thousands of dollars in debt?

I'm sorry this is long. I'm on mobile and it doesn't tell me how many characters I've used. He has over $15,000 in credit card debt. I moved in with him so I could help pay bills and he'd have some extra money to help pay off his debt.

I gave up a nice, affordable duplex that accepts pets, which is very hard to find in our area. I also gave up a 7 minute commute to work and 10 minute commute to my 24hr gym and grocery store. I feel this is significant because I work nights and keep my night hours on my days off so these 24hr amenities were very convenient for me. I now have a 30 minute drive to work, live in a completely different town, different county, where everything is closed by 9pm.

Without telling me, he'd been setting aside money, instead of applying it to his debt, and used that money to buy a new gun. After purchasing all the accessories he'd spent over $1600. He already has five other guns that he rarely, occasionally uses for hunting or just target practice. I feel I've sacrificed a lot so that he can work on his debt. I pay for half the bills and most of the groceries to try to help him. I understand it's his money and I can't tell him what to do with it. But... Am I the rear end in a top hat for thinking this is a purchase that could've waited till he actually has disposable income?

AITA for taking my girlfriend's lasagna home when she said I could?
My girlfriend and I are both college students. She lives in an apartment on her own and I live with my parents.

On Sunday, my girlfriend made homemade lasagna for our date night. She made everything from scratch, including the noodles. It was really good so after we finished I asked if I could take lasagna home for my family to try. She said yes. When I left that night, I took the tray of lasagna with me. My girlfriend didn't walk me out so she didn't see me take the tray.

On Monday, I got a text from my girlfriend asking where her lasagna was. I told her I had taken it home for my family. She said "I thought you were going to take SOME... not the whole thing. I spent most of my food budget for the week on it with the intention to eat leftovers for the rest of the week. Now I don't know what I'm going to eat." I felt bad and apologized but pointed out that I had asked her if I could take it home and she didn't tell me that I couldn't take the whole tray. She said it should have been obvious that I shouldn't take the whole thing since the tray was so big. To be fair to her, it was a really big tray (my family of 5 only just finished the tray yesterday after eating it for dinner both nights) but I don't think the size of the tray makes it obvious that I shouldn't take it.

Monday night and last night, my girlfriend complained that she had to eat instant noodles for dinner so that she wouldn't blow her food budget. Today, she is asking me if I can buy her a sandwich since I took her leftovers for the week. It sucks that she spent her food budget on the lasagna but I think this is her fault for not being clear that I shouldn't take the whole thing. I don't think she is justified in asking me to buy her lunch because of it. She called me an rear end in a top hat for not being willing to help her out. AITA?

AITA for taking my girlfriend's lasagna home when she said I could?
My girlfriend and I are both college students. She lives in an apartment on her own and I live with my parents.

On Sunday, my girlfriend made homemade lasagna for our date night. She made everything from scratch, including the noodles. It was really good so after we finished I asked if I could take lasagna home for my family to try. She said yes. When I left that night, I took the tray of lasagna with me. My girlfriend didn't walk me out so she didn't see me take the tray.
