Peaceful Anarchy posted:He's almost certainly going to have to give her half their savings too, or close to it. Not putting a ring on it doesn't absolve him of financial responsibility. I think this is a key point. Will she legally be able to get anything since they weren't married? She said the house and stuff were in his name, and that there was no common law marriage where they live, right? But I don't think she gave an actual location. Peaceful Anarchy posted:On the other hand he was paying for her living costs, and all of the kid's, and from her account she was happy enough in the relationship that he wasn't overtly controlling with money or her time. Yeah but by paying her living costs he got a stay-at-home mom to watch the kid and take care of his house, and, maybe most importantly, to keep stringing her along. And he has to live somewhere, so he'd be paying some kind of rent/mortgage anyway. I'm also suspicious about how happy she was. Hell, maybe she was ecstatic, but maybe she was just guilt-ridden and relieved as hell that he seemed to come around to forgiving to her. Maybe she was extremely accommodating and forgiving of any red flags because she thought she owed him. This is one of my favorite r/r stories by far. lovely people, terrible decisions, insane amounts of revenge...if I ever write a story about relationship drama I'm so drawing from this well. artsy fartsy fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Nov 17, 2019 |

muscles like this! posted:I have a coworker who was together with a person for almost 20 years and had a kid together. They eventually got married and then divorced in about a year. I wonder if living with someone for a couple of decades and then getting married is pretty much the same as being married for a couple of decades and then renewing your vows: not a good sign.

I always thought of the vow-renewal more as an double-dipping self-indulgence on parts of the couple but it being a bad sign makes a lot of sense

You guys think he's devious and ice cold enough to sit there for 16 years planning the revenge out without revealing his plans to a woman he fucks and lives with but not clever enough to think of the legal ramifications of them living together for 16 years, makes absolutely no sense.

She can sue him but I’ve already posted that she almost certainly isn’t entitled to anything. Common law marriage doesn’t work like most of you think it does.

What are the legal ramifications though? What property rights do unmarried couples have? A quick google search says "...if the couple splits up, they will likely retain only their own property." If he had died, would she have inherited his stuff? I'm pretty darn ignorant on this topic.

AITA for watching GoT on an airplane? Two days ago, I was on a long-haul flight. I was sitting in an aisle seat. Since I haven't seen Games of Thrones yet, I was looking forward to binge watch the first season. I made myself comfortable and set up my tablet. An hour or two into watching, the woman two rows behind me tipped on my shoulder and told me that I need to turn it off immediately. A little bit confused, I asked why. She told me that her young son could see the show playing on my tablet and it's totally not suited for such young children because of the sex and violence involved in it. While I agree with that, I told her that I'm not going to turn it off. She then basically told me that I am an rear end in a top hat for not considering other people around me. Is she right?

If he didn’t have a will the property would go into probate and most likely go to the child or the next living relative (parents probably) He probably has more then enough evidence to support that they were in no way common law married if that is a thing in their state. So she gets nothing.

Huh, I though the US "common law" was like our "de facto" laws. Guess not. Because in Australia, you only need to be living together for 2 years to be able to (attempt) to claim money/financial orders (such as de facto maintenance) if you break up later.quote:When assessing property or custodial claims in cases of a breakdown of a relationship, it is recognised that significant contributions were being made by one party and the failure to issue an order would result in a serious injustice PancakeTransmission fucked around with this message at 21:06 on Nov 17, 2019 |

AITA for changing my Friendsgiving potluck dish because everyone else did? Seven of us planned this Friendsgiving together over the course of the last month, pitching together what we would all be making. We all agreed that I would take on the main dish, the beef wellington, since I have made it successfully before and everyone's been wanting to try it. I had absolutely no issues at all at this point in time since everyone else's dishes sounded great as well. Eventually, as we drew nearer to the date, everyone had changed from their original dishes to something else. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, but their changes have all been to something of significantly reduced quality. This is what it came down to before I finally made my change: Friend 1: Maple bacon cornbread => Nothing, will pitch in $ to whoever makes it for him (no one offered so I took the offer) + will bring beers. Reason: Has to take his nieces out before the dinner and has no time to make it Friend 2: Chicken tikka masala mashed potatoes => regular mashed potatoes. Reason: Didn't have the tikka masala ingredients and didn't want to go buy it. Friend 3: Homemade pumpkin pie => Grocery store pie. Reason: Her oven doesn't work Friend 4: Pesto Pasta Salad => Regular salad, asked if I had ranch in my fridge. Reason: She messed up the pesto Friend 5: Home cured duck prosciutto with some other charcuterie meats and cheeses => Just the store bought meats and cheeses. Reason: He accidentally ate too much of the duck prosciutto and is saving what's left for his family's Thanksgiving dinner Friend 6: Lobster mac and cheese => Nothing. Couldn't make it anymore After all this, I was less compelled to make my beef wellington since it's a lot of time/work/money to make it in comparison to everything else, plus I now had to make the cornbread. I told the group that I was no longer making the wellington and that I would just make a roasted duck instead and no one was happy. Some discussed just cancelling the dinner since it's a shell of our original plan, some suggested we just go out to a restaurant, others called me out for being spiteful. Some other info: 2 of us (including me) changed our dishes today and the dinner is tomorrow. The rest changed theirs over the course of this past week. So guys, AITA?

TIFU by getting a handjob not having the money for it and having to call my family to pick me up. This happened two years ago when I was living in Vietnam and was in my final year of High school and I got reminded about it when my friend suggested I got get a massage for my current joint pain. Two years ago when I was in my final year of High school I was apart of the schools Volleyball team. I played as a Libero and I often had aches in my knees and pats of my back. Knee pads could only do so much for me. Anyway, one day the aches were worse than normal and one of my friends suggested to me OP, why don't you go get a massage?" and I thought to myself 'Thats a drat fine idea'. So the weekend rolls around and I head to the hair salon that I've been going to for the past five years now to get my hair cut, it's a very nice place actually. One of the more expensive places to go in the district I lived in and I know for a fact they had massages there as on the menu of things you could get full body massage was an option (Hair wash, waxing, massages etc.) and I trusted this place as like mentioned earlier I had been going there for five years and was good friends with the owner (My mum was friends with him from when they were younger so I met him when I was pretty young as well). Now, I roll around to the massage place on my motorbike and when I enter, I get the same greeting that I've been getting five years in a row now "OP! Welcome back". Like I always I said hi to the owner. But when he asked me if I was getting my Hair cut today I shook my head and told him I wanted a massage instead. He showed me the list of kinds I could get and I chose full body because I was tired, stressed from exams and sore from Volleyball. The massage told me it costed 1,000,000 Vietnam Dong (about 45-50ish USD at the time) and I thought that was a reasonable price as in Saigon at the time I knew there were massage places were you could go for about 300,000 VND (15 USD) But I trusted the owner and thought thats alright. (I had bought just enough money for it) I step into the massage rooms at the back of the salon and it looks very nice and professional. Clean bed, towel, shower attached to the room, nice temperature because of the AC and a little fridge for water and other drinks. I look around the room that the owner sent me too wondering what I'm supposed to do when one of the assistants?/Girls who works there walks in and drat was she good looking. She was also wearing a short black dress that had quite a low chest cut (THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST RED FLAG). She tells me to go take a shower while she sets everything up. So I close the partition separating the shower from the rest of the room and clean myself off. I put my underwear back on and wrap the towel around my waist. I come out and the lights in the room have darkened and shes there waiting. I proceed to climb on the bed and she puts on some background music. Now the massage itself was actually very nice. She was obviously skilled and I soon found myself asleep on the bed. Next thing I know shes lightly shaking me awake telling me to turn over and lie on my back and I do just that. She then tells me to take off my underwear and cover just my man bits with a towel (SECOND RED FLAG!!). Me being the naive person I am (I only knew about sex from my friends and porn online. Parent's were both Catholic and never gave me the talk or anything similar) So I comply. I am laying there feeling a bit exposed now and a bit nervous but I ignore my instincts and just say its all part of the massage. There I am, laid out on the massage bed, naked except for a tiny little towel. She continues the massage and its still feeling really good. However when she moves up my leg her hand lightly brushes against my no-no zone. (THRID RED FLAG) instead of doing anything to stop it I convince myself it was just an accident and nothing bad will happen. Needless to say. Bad things did in fact happen. I ended up getting a handjob from her that I didn't stop because I was too scared to say now (Pathetic virgin, with no sexual experience and a very good looking girl kinda does that to you). So after my...discharge she goes into the shower room and cleans her hand. I sit up and start to clean myself and put on my clothes when she bars the door as i'm leaving. (Now in hindsight I realize I should have expected this but I was still nervous at the time and this was quite an uncomfortable experience for me) She tells me "1 million 500 hundred" and I look at her like 'wut' I tell her I only bought a million as that was the price of the massage and she says "Massage cost 1 million, service from me cost 1,5 million" I try to tell her that I never agreed for her services and she basically just started jerking me but she tells me "You no say stop" and I realized she had gotten me into a corner. The problem was I only had the 1 million and she wouldn't let me out. So I had to make a call. And that call, was too my dad. Now I was nervous when I picked up the phone. I almost started crying as A. I feared he would be really disappointed and I hated when he was disappointed with me B. I was scared my mum would polish the wooden flooring with my rear end if she found out finally C. this was my favourite hair salon and I liked the owner a lot and this would probably gently caress over my chances of ever getting a haircut here again. So shes standing there with her arms crossed block the door and I'm talking to dad on the phone - these were almost the exact words. "Hey dad I'm in a bit of trouble right now" "Yea OP? Whats wrong" "Well...see I went to get a massage at this place and it kind of went a bit off the rails" I hear no response from the other side of the line for about 10 seconds before Dad goes "You had sex didn't you?" I instantly do a 180 and I'm like "NO, um it was just stuff with her hands" I hear him sigh and he says "So whats the problem?" "Well I don't have enough money" I hear him mutter jesus christ before he tells me hes coming to pick me up. So ten minutes later he turns up at the front of the hair salon / prostitute plaza place and I tell him shes demanding 1.5 million. Instead of getting into an argument with the girl or the owner, Dad just takes out some money. Pays for the "service" and the actual massage price and we walk out the store. The drive home is awkward and I don't make eye contact at all on the way into the house. Dad stops me as I am entering the front door and he gives me this look and says "You know we have to tell your mother right?" My world shatters. 5 minutes later I tell my mum what happens and instead of being mad at me she just stares at me and then stats laughing and my dad joins in. I'm looking really confused now. After they are done laughing they tell me they are disappointed but that these things happen and they are sorry they didn't warn me more about this stuff when I was a bit younger. Dad tells me to learn from the experience and that if I want a good massage just tell him and he will give me money so I can go to a proper place where I won't get fondled. As I'm walking out the room blushing in embarrassment my dad tells me he will never let me live this down and I fear at my wedding when he's an old fart he'll stand up and go "Hey remember the time OP accidentally got himself a handjob?" and I'll poo poo myself when he does. TLDR - was naive, got a handjob from a worker, didn't have the cash, dad picked me up and laughed at me about it.

As friend is sauteeing the beans, lactose intolerant person comes into the kitchen and dumps loving lactase powder over the whole thing

TIFU by knowing Jeffery Epstein didnt kill himself. Literally just happened 15 min ago. I'm sitting in my kitchen doing some bills and my girlfriend is on the couch scrolling through her phone. She got up and came over, sat next to me and pulled up some paper and pen and started working on something. I'm in the middle of calling the internet provider so I can switch to a cheaper but similar internet plan from a different provider while I glanced over to see shes looking intently at her phone and on the screen it's a picture from facebook with sign language on it and she's sitting there going through what she can remember from learning it and writing down the letters as she goes. I asked for a call back from the internet provider because it was going to be a 30-50 minute wait. She then mentioned she doesn't remember her sign language very well appearently and she's going through the motions with her hands, I glanced at how far she had gotten and saw the first word "Jeffery" and didnt give it a second thought and she's sitting there trying to figure out if the next letter is and 'e' or an 'a' and I looked over again and saw how many words in total to try and help and i started laughing saying I knew what it said and she asked what did it say and I went "Jeffery Epstein didn't kill himself" and she looked at the picture, looked at her letters she figured out and then at me and went "thanks a lot rear end in a top hat, guess I won't be practicing my sign language" and is currently sulking on the couch again. Whoops TL;DR: Girlfriend came over excitedly working on decoding something from sign language and upon seeing what she worked out so far told her the answer and shes currently mad at my sulking in the couch.
