Grading on a curve, this lady didn't have that bad of a deal. There's been a looooooot of stories of dudes demanding a bangmaid but being unemployed or some poo poo. "100% of household labor" <-> "Ample, shared household income" Those aren't inherently too badly imbalanced? If he's really bringing home plenty of money and she had access to it. This lady is completely within her rights to want and expect more of course. But she could have asked him to cook one night a week or something rather than opening with a domestic strike. Does the OP wash his rear end?

According to the OP she went on strike on her friend’s advice. It reminds me of the story with the lady who was the first of her friend group getting married, and her friends used her to field test all sorts of stupid ideas they had which led to her divorce, and them not making those mistakes in their own mariages. She was pretty salty about it.

I think my perception is affected by how she presented it. What if she'd said she felt worn down by the neverending grind of household labor, and cooking every day means no days off. That she was unsatisfied with her life and she felt like a drudge whose talents as a individual were being wasted scrubbing toilets and doing laundry. Opening with "I'm raising a manchild and you don't do anything" doesn't prompt much sympathy imo. Plus the dude had a good paying job and an inheritance, that's actually a pretty critical contribution to a household.

IIRC, they were having a kid and she insisted on giving it her last name only, not even hyphenated. She had long known that this was a big deal to her husband.

I searched halloween for fun   I [M32] told my co-worker [F27] that I liked her at her Halloween party and I've found out that she's broken up with her BF of 4 years quote:So I told my crush I liked her a lot (and didn't expect any reciprocation) at a party on Halloween. We see each other every day at work so I pretty much just let it go, and felt that I had said my piece. My boyfriend's friends don't like me and it's not my fault quote:My boyfriend's (M29) ex girlfriend (F26) is in the same friendship group as him. They split ~5 years ago and she's been with her current boyfriend from about 6 weeks after that. She hates anyone that my boyfriend brings to their friendship group and will try to make them leave or make him call things off with them, and this has been happening to me lately. We've been together 18 months, and she will do anything she can to make me out to be a terrible person. She's put washing up liquid in my drink to make me be sick (which happened to be all over her, karma's a bitch), she turns up at house parties at 11pm sober when I've had a few drinks and will make out that I'm unable to handle my drink and I'm a mess, and the most recent thing was that we went to a festival, which meant a lot to one of the couple's in the group. They met at this festival, and were due to be getting married this year on that date. It was cancelled due to Covid, so we went to the festival instead. Ex girlfriend wasn't due to be going, but bought a ticket 'last minute'. It was all going ok, we were doing rounds with the 6 of us that were there, and when it got to hers, she decided to tell us she couldn't afford to buy a round. Everyone went 'oh, it's ok ex girlfriend, we'll all pay for your drinks, right?'. We drank a fair amount, and stayed out of each others way until the last band played. I was stood there with a pint in hand when she started screaming at me saying I had no right to call her 'a jealous c' and that it's not her fault that I'm not over the fact he's had relationships before he was with me. Bearing in mind I said nothing to her, I was just standing watching the band. She was shouting and screaming and sobbing and everyone huddled around her asking what was wrong. She told them that I had said all this stuff (I said nothing, and even when I'm really pissed off I never use c), and they all chose to side with her. They all ignored me, and my boyfriend was left confused because 'she would never normally kick off like that over nothing'. The others all left, and my boyfriend and I had a big row over the fact I must have said something to trigger that. We spoke about it in the morning and we're on the same page now, but his friends all are ignoring me on social media and when we saw them recently they were all offish with me.

Cthulu Carl posted:All the arguing about power grids and dishwashers makes me feel like I'm reading a thread about the Technology Connections youtube channel. After his recent dishwasher detergent video I started using a rinse aid and WOW I wasn't expecting much of a difference but it felt like I was in in of those before/after commercials. Stuff dries faster with less/no detergent residue. I grew up with very hard water, so I was just used to residue of some sort or another on everything as long as it wasn't leftover food or toxic. A properly black saucepan was a bit of a shock. Helps lessen the surface tension of water so it drains off the dishes better. It's very cheap, name brands are no better than store brand and a small amount lasts a long time. If you have a dishwasher I'd say check it out, worst case you don't notice a difference and you're out two bucks.

spouse posted:I searched halloween for fun I've never understood why people would want to start a relationship like this. If you see each other every day at work wouldn't it be harder to get time away from the other person in the beginning? I understand why married couples have told me they wish they could see their spouse that much but I assume that's because they are already married. My sense of this could also be skewed since it was verbotin in the military to gently caress someone in your platoon, I was in a mixed gender unit, and my friends and family would constantly fight with me because a few years ago I thought it was a bad idea to date a girl I worked closely with 5 days a week 6-10 hours a day that usually consisted of being in a car by ourselves and who was 10 years younger than me. My argument was "What the hell would we talk about on a date after we just spent 8 hours around each other for the past week?" You may say "What about FWB?" and I would point out she was a fundamentalist Christian virgin.

Maybe it's time to give it another shot?) (We also have super soft water, which I guess could play into it somehow)
