Yes, and actually the highest grade is the least desirable nowadays. Maple syrup grades were set up so that paler (and thus less maple-flavored) was better. We always bought grade B (second from the bottom) when we lived in sugaring company and had access to all the grades.

Call me crazy, but I get the feeling from the post that this is something they'd argued about many times before and her recording him and then posting it publicly without his permission was the last straw.

Dude is probably both humiliated and heartbroken so I'm willing to cut a little slack on not being super 100% concerned with the state of his drywall when disposing of the instrument of betrayal.

His reaction is extreme but it's clear to him this was an extreme betrayal... it sounds like he's surrounded by bullies, his "friends" mock for hours him for dancing, his wife posts a video of a private moment without his consent, her friends egging her on. Dude let his emotions out a little when he thought he was safe and his wife made sure he wasn't.

It's strange that he feels so strongly about this to jump straight to divorce but just how strange depends on the health of the relationship before this happened, which is beyond the scope of the AITA post.

Yeah, there's stuff the OP isn't telling us. Another facet of trying to make herself look like the reasonable one.

Honey is similar. Paler honeys sell better in the supermarket and so are worth more than dark-coloured honeys that typically have a stronger flavour.

People were implying this dude was unhinged and an incident away from assaulting his wife, that poster was using hyperbole to highlight how loving ridiculous that was. Look at this post where a goon literally calls breaking the cameras that spied on someone in their own home domestic violence.

Have you guys had the conversation:

As I have said I had my reasons for not believing her and once I did I fully supported her getting treatment

so no, you have never stepped back and considered/taken accountability for your daughter’s residual feelings from this situation.

can you confirm that’s what you’re saying?

quote:

No we haven’t had that conversation. I suppose I felt that things were resolved by my supporting her but maybe I should have been clearer. A few months after she started seeing a doctor she was hospitalized for a bit and I was there with her every day and bought her new clothes and pjs to wear and I made it clear I supported her. I did try very hard with her but she just pushed me away when she was younger. I just don’t know what else there is to talk about it. She’s doing very well now

her username is thrownawaymom22 and it's appropriate because she's garbage

AITA for buying Spiderman tickets for myself but not my boyfriend?

quote:

So as everybody knows, the new spider man movie is out today. My boyfriend really wanted to see it tonight but couldn’t get tickets for the time he wanted.

This morning, I asked if we could go tomorrow and he said “i’ll think about it”, and then started talking about how he wants to see it so badly. I said “well I asked if you wanted to go tomorrow and i’d buy tickets” and he says “yeah” and I asked “oh, you just don’t want to see it with me?” and then he made a face suggesting that was it but felt bad saying it. I asked why and he said “because you aren’t as hyped as me”.

I said “well I am very excited but i’m not expressing it”, and moved on from the topic.

I found a single seat at a showing that starts at 2:00, bought my ticket and started getting ready. My boyfriend asked where I was going and I said to get lunch by myself and see Spiderman, he got upset and said “without me?” and I reminded him that he didn’t want to go with me.

I am currently a lunch and just got done reading a message from him expressing how upset he is with me and that it was a dick move for me to go see the movie he was so excited for and that he was only joking, and I should’ve known that, I told him i’m still going to see it and he hasn’t responded since. AITA?

ETA: he just told me he wanted to see it with me but not the first time lol, wanted me to see it with him his second time watching it, and it being my first time

It comes out in the comments that OP is 21 and her boyfriend is 23.

The husband was preparing to do his butter activities.

Still need to know what the butter activity was.

Was he using the butter as just lube and shoving it up his rear end and then fingering his prostate? That's the only thing that could make any sense but it's not really like "leave your boyfriend forever" shocking tor shameful to most people. And if he was doing that, like I feel like he'd quickly gravitate to both better and cheaper options like coconut oil or actual lube, like salted butter just CANNOT feel good up in there. gently caress, just plain old lotion or conditioner would be better.

I think generally its an rear end in a top hat move to pull a "Well then *I'll* just go and do this activity by myself instead of working out how we can do it together" on your significant other, but in this case that guy totally deserved it.

"Bu-bu-but my plan was to dork out alone watching Spiderman the first time, then watch it again with you while whispering annoying stuff in your ear about how rad and awesome the next scene is gonna be! You ruined that experience." gently caress off.

Recording OP almost certainly committed a crime.

Maryland law posted:

Is It Illegal To Record Someones Voice Without Them Knowing It In Maryland?

Yes, it is illegal, and yes, you absolutely can get in trouble for recording someone’s private conversations or utterances without their permission. Maryland law actually punishes this conduct quite severely. The offense is considered a felony, and carries five years and a hefty fine.

So if we're looking for an abuser I think we should start with the person who committed a felony against their partner. Laws vary from state to state but given that he was in his own home, had every reasonable expectation of privacy, did not consent to the recording, and sure as poo poo didn't consent to it's publication, that's open and shut. The difference between what the OP did and revenge porn is how much clothes he was wearing and the exact activity he was doing.

What OP did was straight up illegal and she's lucky not to be facing charges. The cameras were connected wirelessly and could reasonably be believed to have batteries in them. Destroying them was a measured response to them being used to commit a possibly ongoing crime against him.

Personally my favorite part is OP relating exactly how many shares and likes she got from going viral. As if that makes her behavior less bad instead of way worse.
