Am I [30F] too uptight about my husband's [31M] distaste for doing things the "normal" way?quote:My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years, together for many years before that. No kids yet, and overall we have a good relationship. We usually communicate and resolve conflict well, but there is one area where we don't.

datajugend posted:Maybe she should stop thinking to herself about how they should help her and actually ask for help first Yeah I'm curious if she's asked for help and received none. I've known a few people in situations where they claim their familiess don't help them, but it's more like they said no to some things but said yes to plenty of others.

Well sorta Reddit thread OP posted:They are both RNs and make great money, and I've asked but my mom says he makes these big purchases. She'll give me a small amount every now and then, but nothing like what they get in "toys". So she's mad because she gets help but not as much as the teenage younger siblings.

therobit posted:That's been a thing for a while. When my grandfather died 16 years ago there was nobody left at his farm and the sherriff advised us not to print an obituary due to the likelihood burglary at a vacant property. I'm not surprised but I'll admit that I only learned of it a few years ago. Some neighbors had a funeral for their grandpa and when they came home someone had stolen their washer,dryer, motorcycle and its title.

I can understand being bitter about it. She needs to get over it, but seeing your mother and step dad spend much more on your younger siblings than you received would sting. Still, she's an adult now, and if she receives some help from her mother, then that's more than many struggling people get.

Still, she's an adult now, and if she receives some help from her mother, then that's more than many struggling people get. I'm curious how much more. I mean paying her entire rent or food expenses might even seem small compared to apparently buying the one sibling 2 horses. Horses are insanely expensive money pits, so maybe she expects them to buy her a house? I wonder why she even bothers to mention the dog and school. She only needed to mention the animal whose price ranges from that of a car to that of a jet aircraft. Edit: not to say being a little bitter is wrong. It would suck being raised on a normal or sparse lifestyle and then seeing younger siblings grow up like wealthy people. wilderthanmild fucked around with this message at 19:06 on May 3, 2019 |

Grape posted:When me and my (Greek) now wife were doing some long distance chats after she went back to her country early on, we did a lot of skyping. I hadn't met her family in person yet. My mom is half Italian. We were talking once when I had a friend over, some mild debate, and at one point he interrupts us and asks us to calm down and stop fighting. This led to both of us turning on him like, "What the gently caress are you talking about? No one's angry or fighting! If we were, you would loving know." Also, sleep rear end in a top hat and cardboard or whatever rear end in a top hat could be my ex. I say that a lot, but I'm still always surprised at how common some abusive behaviors are. Is there a playbook somewhere, or is it just instinctive, or what?

And now, two stories about stink men AITA for not touching bf when he doesn’t shower? quote:He goes several days, even a week now without showering. He’s otherwise pretty attractive, but when I know he’s this unclean I just preconsciously am not physically attracted to him. He’s had issues with this for a while because the way the water feels bothers his skin, or something like that. When he does shower and practice hygiene he’s almost physically perfect to me. Otherwise, I just don’t feel it. He feels unappreciated because I’ve not been physically affectionate. AITA for kicking my gf out of my apartment for discovering my depression routine? quote:Throwaway so my friends don't see this on my reddit.

Having known a Greek family, constant argumentative yelling is normal. So is alternating between saying that your mother is a saint and then immediately shouting at her for being an idiot over something small and dumb. Whenever I would visit the Greek family I knew the three brothers would be clustered around the couch with their portable phone just within reach. Every time it rang they would all shout, in unison, "MOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM PICKUP THE loving PHOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE."

My wife is a quarter English in ancestry, and as a result looks pretty pale in spite of her country of origin. Hair isn't too dark either. Blue eyes.... but man. I feel like in America she should walk around with a warning sticker, something to the effect of "WARNING: OBJECT ONLY APPEARS TO BE WHITE GIRL. APPROACH WITH CAUTION. CAN DANCE. WILL BITE. VOLUME MAY INJURE EARS."

I took a dive down angry at parents for spoiling younger siblings lady's Reddit history. I feel a little worse for her now since her history shows she's recently divorced and the husband is dodging child support, which sucks. I could see it being a little misdirected to be angry at the parents there, but that's probably a situation where wanting help is something very reasonable.
