If children are so amazing, why does every parent I know constantly complain about how horrible and expensive they are and how they basically ruin your life in between telling you what magical gifts they are because they did this one cute thing once.

You must know parents who really should not have had kids. They're probably going to be joining the estranged parents club.

My daughter is a pretty cool kid and I can honestly say my life is better with her in it. Kids are also as expensive as you allow them to be. I never felt financially burdened even when she was on formula as an infant and we don't make a ton of money.

claws for alarm
My (31F) best friend (29F) died in a car crash last night:( My husband (32M) was broken up about it, and so much so, he confessed they had an intense affair last year, they were both in love, but realized it was too complicated.

quote:

I can't type much as I have to leave soon and I'm just dealing with so much hurt from all sides that honestly, I'm just numb.

My best friend for the last 10 years, Nancy died last night. Nancy is one of the sweetest, deepest and cute women I've ever met. She's gorgeous and so artistic and smart, but her life has been a real tragedy from young (I won't get into it here, but let's just say she got into Stanford, but her childhood and teen years just ruined her and she never finished college).

She was my closest friend and many many times, she was the one person who showed how much I meant to her.

I'll never forget how she used almost all of her first paycheck to spoil me for my birthday, elaborate vacation getaway, a drop-dead gorgeous cake, meaningful gifts

It's no surprise I wanted my husband who I met 6 years ago (married for 3), to be close to her too. It's odd that he's almost a male version of her. They resemble a lot (which is weird) and often can pass for siblings. They've got very similar personalities too so it's no surprise they bonded easily.


I TRUSTED THEM fully, I never saw sexual chemistry between them. Honestly, they always seem to have a sibling-like friendship.

Last year, I had to travel for work for 6 weeks and I suggested my husband and her hangout without me if they got lonely.

THAT WAS NOT ENDORSING A loving AFFAIR which they ended up having.

--

I woke this morning to see 9 missed calls and dozens of texts. None said she passed, but I knew it was very serious. They were from my other friend and a guy who was dating Nancy saying she crashed into a lamp pole coming home. How she was upset and drunk at Paul (her boyfriend).

I was shocked, didn't even tell or wake my husband, I called Paul who answered and was in tears so I sort of immediately suspected they worse, which i was not ready for.

I can't type this without crying, I will never forget those words he said: "she's gone, she's not coming back". I dropped my phone and sort of fainted.

I then started to scream in agony. HOW? Nance was soooo smart, so beautiful, just a wonderful and special person. HOW?

Then my husband immediately came rushing to me and I told him.

He immediately looked so distraught and took his cell phone and flung it away saying, "gently caress it's my fault, gently caress" and he broke down worse than me.


I kept asking him how is it your fault? He kept crying and avoided the question. After 30 mins or so, he calmed down.

He said, I will get mad, I will want to divorce but he has to come clean otherwise he can't live with himself.

He said, last night Nancy and he had an argument. I don't know the specifics, but Nancy told him she couldn't be with Paul because she had feelings for him and Paul suspected it. He said, since I was home, he couldn't talk to her properly, but he was texting her a lot (i do remember him frequently going to the bathroom every so often).

Apparently, Nancy wanted to come over by us and confess everything, even to me. He told her absolutely not to do that. Which led to her being abandoned by Paul and my husband.

Their last text he said was him telling her to stay at the party with Paul, instead, she took Paul's car, left and drove for 30 mins before crashing into a lamp pole and dying hours later.


I don't know what to feel. I don't know if to be mad at Nancy (I can't right now), or my husband.

I know this is messy and new. I will update you guys once things calm down.


But I'm distraught and I don't know how to feel, I need someone to tell me, or advise me on how to move on.

I loved Nancy as much as my husband and knowing she was the one who wanted to tell the truth, it helps. But also, knowing she's been lying for so long.

Also, my husband is a great guy, he said he was over Nancy, but she wasn't. In my heart, I'm thinking why the gently caress did you have to hurt her so badly? She was delicate and needed someone to love her fully.


TLDR;

My (31F) best friend (29F) died in a car crash last night:( My husband (32M) was broken up about it, and so much so, he confessed they had an intense affair last year, they were both in love, but realized it was too complicated. So confused on how to feel

I remember a "What was the luckiest moment of your life" where a guy was in a similar situation and the other women blew up and told him she was coming over to tell the wife and go scorched earth and while speeding over she got into an accident and died on the scene.

Guy never told his wife and in the post said the only reason he still has his happy family life is because of that car accident.

Don't worry, their site rule #2 explicitly say you have to be at or above the age of consent for your region.

So if you say "I'm in Italy" then being a 14 year old girl with a 40 year old man is perfectly fine by their standards and per rule #3 don't you dare get negative r/agegap is a zone of positive support and love.

TIFU by suggesting to my bf that he get testicle implants

quote:

I’ve been dating this guy for a few months. He has a fetish for petite Asian girls, that I know. But he also has a thing for big breasts, which I attribute to his “hentai porn” fascination where women are depicted in strange and inhuman proportions.

In the past month, he has been making comments here and there about breast implants. He would send me articles on the joys of saline vs silicone implants, for example, and would tell me I’d be “perfect” if I got some saline implants to fill a DD cup, as a “joke” of course. (DD is not crazy actually because my band size is 30, which is equivalent to a 34C, but still insulting to me.)

So I finally had it a week ago and told him to stop making jokes about implants because they are not funny and insulting. I told him most petite Asian women are not big breasted contrary to his hentai fantasy. He did stop for a few days, then today again he mentioned to me how great I’d look in a double D while we were out having brunch.

So I snapped, and I said well maybe he should get some testicle implants to augment the size of his cherry testicles. Well he didn’t take my suggestion too kindly and went home in a huff by himself. He hasn’t returned any of my texts since.

TL;DR: I underestimated how fragile my bf’s ego is concerning his balls and I insulted him deeply by suggesting he get implants.

WIBTA if I refused to be in the “Big Group Photo” and cut of financial support to my FIL because I’m not allowed to be in the “Family” photo?


quote:

So a little bit of a back story. My husband and I got married several years back. For the wedding I had paid a large amount for a photographer to take a specific set of photos as we didn’t have a lot of time to take them.

As we were taking what I thought was the family photo with my husbands side of the family, my FIL said, “I want a family only photo, you need to get out”. Which absolutely crushed me as I thought I had just become part of the family. Not only that but it also took up a significant amount of time of our short timeframe, so all photos with my side were cut short and didn’t turn out well. So much so that the photographer didn’t send me any of them originally because she didn’t like the quality.

I spoke to him about this and he apologized and said he understood where I was coming from and it wouldn’t happen again.

Fast forward to today. My FIL wants another photo in the coming weeks and has said there will be two photos, the family photo and the group photo. And I will only be allowed in the group photo.

At this point I’m ticked, we’ve discussed this and his actions are telling me I’m not a member of his family. And if that’s the case, I dont want to take part in the photos at all or have my child be in it (as she came out of me).

And if I’m not family enough to be in the family photo I would like to stop contributing money to the “family fund” monthly. It’s designed to help out because my FIL never built up a retirement fund and is fully relying on others to pay for him.

I am probably overreacting to a photo, but that’s why I’m here. So reddit, tell me, would I be the rear end in a top hat?

I feel like half of the toxic in-laws posts always have them moving with or being financially supported by the aggrieved party.

That one with the MIL who took photos of the wife's journal about her assault and sent it to everyone to try and break up the marriage while she was living in a house paid for by the spouse was a doozy. Same for the SIL hired on at a business being paid 3x the normal wage who started serious poo poo with the husband and was shocked, shocked that he fired her.

AITA for prank calling my daughter?
My daughter Francesca (Frankie) is 19. She's at uni studying accounting. Still lives with us since her uni is local, and last night went to a party with her friends. She asked if it was OK to bring her friends back here after and I said sure so long as they don't make too much noise.

Thing is, I [40M) work a job which includes long hours and a variety of nights, days, weekdays and weekends. My wife Eleanor [46F] works in the city, and while it's meant to be 9-5 office hours, during some periods she can work over 80 hour weeks. Last week we only spent ten minutes together. Last night was the only night we'd get to spend together and just cuddle and enjoy each other.

Frankie and her friends got home and were making a lot of noise. Giggling and laughing, playing loud music etc. I texted her several times telling her to keep it down but she didn't listen. Eleanor and I were both very unhappy.

The noise only got worse, and in the end I decided to have some fun. I'm fairly good at accents, and I called Frankie from a withheld number, saying I was the police, and that illegal files were on her phone, and that she needed to present herself for questioning and would be arrested and charged if she didn't. She sounded terrified over the phone. Eleanor found this hilarious and so did I.

The next morning at breakfast, Frankie was frightened, telling us about this call from the police she received yesterday. I thought she'd figure out it was a joke but apparently not. She was genuinely scared. I told her it was us and she went mad, telling me I was an ahole for scaring her and storming off crying.

Eleanor (who was laughing her head off when we did it) said I need to apologise to her right away. I'm sorry but no. I asked her continually to keep the noise down and she refused. I won't apologise for poking a bit of fun at her when she was being uncooperative.

AITA for clapping back at my friend?
So my friend have been making these “jokes” where she roasts each and everyone of us in our friend group. We all told her in the group chat that we were uncomfortable with her doing it and asked her nicely to stop. She then called us snowflakes and continued to roast us. It’s not even good roasts it’s like a “oh you look like Dora the explorer with that bad haircut” or your mama so fat jokes. What are we in the 4th grade? One day at lunch she told said to me “omg thank god the sun is out unless we couldn’t see (my name)”. The whole table got quiet. I was so angry. I then proceeded to roast her as back saying. “Your only loving personality trait is having a boyfriend. Your not funny,your not nice,your rude and your friends barely want to hang around you” . Go gently caress yourself you inconsiderate piece of garbage” and “You think making these “roasts” would upper your low self esteem. It doesn’t. If you can’t take it don’t loving dish it”. She grabbed her stuff and ran into the bathroom. My friends were surprised because I don’t get angry that often. But her comment about my skin made my blood boil. They deleted her out the group chat and now she sits her boyfriend at lunch. I kinda feel bad for going off but she went over the line to make a comment on my skin. AITA? Edit: the reason why am asking is because she’s been telling our mutual friends how much of a bully I am. She’s threatening to tell on me to the principal. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t being to harsh or if I really was being mean to her.
