Booking someone a major trip without their knowledge or permission is such a ridiculously presumptuous thing to do. I'd find it kind of weird if my husband did that, let alone a childhood friend who I hadn't been close to in years. The guy is clearly a total sleaze if he's willing to splurge on international travel to impress someone who's in a relationship, especially after buying knockoff perfume for the woman he was already dating.

So she presumably saw the perfume story if she uses Reddit so much? Yikes!

He should have just given her the WikiHow entry on the Courtesy Pee instead of this trying-to-make-her-pee nonsense.

Couple of pages back, but: in the UK our current Conservative government had "cultural genocide of the Roma" as one of their election promises, and if it wasn't for Covid they would absolutely be getting on with that right now.

Is it possible to have feelings for someone that your in love with but your okay with want not wanting more beyond snuggling and enjoying each other’s company from time to time? Been dealing with this person for over 10 years off and I’m. I’m the person that wants more.

Been dealing with this person for over 10 years off and I’m. I’m the person that wants more. It's possible, sure, but it's also entirely possible that holding out hope for more and never getting it is causing you more harm than good. Only you can answer that, and only by taking a long hard think about your own emotional well-being. It may be better for you to take a step back and downgrade the relationship from, I guess you'd call it pseudo-romantic?, to strictly platonic or even casual friendship. It sounds like the current setup is not actually making you happy.

What to do about religious conflictquote:Hi! I (f25) am struggling with what to do in a specific instance where my own religious beliefs (Christian) conflict directly with my husband’s (m29) family’s beliefs (Hindu). Note- my husband believes in nothing but generally pacifies his family, this is the first time it has been a problem. We have been together for 5 years and married 1. In this instance we are required by his family to hold a housewarming ceremony where we honor their gods, represented by idols. I specifically believe that idols are forbidden and we have never displayed one in our home before or done any ceremony showcasing one, but I did know he has a small one in a box somewhere. (Didn’t love it but didn’t want to mention it and ask him to get rid of it.) I feel a place with an idol in it is tainted and evil but I also know that is really overdramatic and hurtful to those who believe in them. I only mention it so the depth of my feelings on the subject is understood. If he believed in these idols and also was invested in this I would bite my tongue since I knowingly got myself into this when I married him- but he really doesn’t care and just wants his family pacified. I thought I could just ignore it and do the ceremony with them but the closer we get to time the more panicked and sick I feel. I really don’t want that in our new home. I respectfully asked about the ceremony and if there was a way to do it without the idols and expressed that I didn’t like them being there but he said they were crucial. I didn’t push it but I don’t know what to do with this direct conflict. Any suggestions? Hey reddit, my husband and his family are disgusting, hellbound pagans,

I feel like it really turns on her (left unsaid) level of devoutness. If she's generally religious on the day to day then I'd probably accomodate her wishes but if it's just cultural Christianism panic about werewolves and pslycics she can get hosed.

compshateme85 posted:100% they get a christmas tree every year. That's a good point; has anyone suggested they take the usual route and just make up a reason the Hindu icon is a tortured metaphor for Jesus and the Resurrection? Keep appropriating stuff, guys, the whole Christ mythic cycle is a universal solvent!

My guess is that it's the latter. The true believer fundies I grew up with would never have married someone who didn't at least pay lip service to some form of Christianity because they wouldn't want to build a life with someone they thought was going to hell. I wonder if she went into this marriage assuming that her husband's atheism meant he'd also dropped all of his family's culture and traditions.

this loving donkey. AITA for borrowing some money from my wife's savings account? My wife and I have joined finances but she has a savings account her grandpa set up for her before he passed. It's around 40k in savings. We both work IT jobs and get paid fairly well (I want to note that we do not live in America so wages differ) . Shes stated to me that that money are for either an emergency or in case we plan on buying our own house. She said that in case I need money for an emergency I'm allowed to use. I also have access to the account but so far I didn't use anything. 2 months ago my sister asked me to lend her 5k because she wanted to pay for her wedding dress but her card had expired and kept declining. I lend her 5k but since I didn't have the full amount of my own paycheck, I borrowed money from my wife's savings. My sister said she'd pay me back once her new card was ready which would take less than two days. I didn't tell my wife this because I'd replace the money in two days. It's been 2 months now and my sister is putting off on giving back the money she borrowed. She keeps finding excuses on why she couldn't give it back every time. My wife hasn't checked the savings account in ages but what if she happens to check it and she figures out 5k is missing? My best friend says I am honest with her and I should accept the consequences of my own actions for not notifying my wife and not letting her know about the money missing. AITA? I feel very guilty for this and for trusting my sister.

If he's paid well from his IT job maybe he should just pay it back from his salary. Then if sister ever pays back the money, they've got 45k. I don't think I'd ever lend anything to a family member I couldn't afford to simply forgive.

A lot of people have learned the hard lesson of never lend to friends or family. You can give gifts, and maybe you might get a gift back later on, but don't count on it.
