So many men have been raised with literally no standards about how to treat people, let alone their closest relationships that their entire lives and status supposedly depend on.

mediaphage posted:so so so true A lot makes sense when you realise these dudes were usually raised with the at least implicit assumption they would have comfort and success handed to them for zero effort, like their boomer parents were, and they have no idea what to do now they haven't gotten it.

No. She eventually moved out, got scammed a lot by people on Facebook, moved in with her sons family, moved out again, had a stroke (the family only found out because she posted on Facebook saying she couldn't feel half her face) and then died of a heart attack or something like that.

Beachcomber posted:No, he's totally boss. His name is Olivia, because we thought he was a girl when his mom gave birth to him and his sister in our garage. So the whole story, we had two cats, a stray cat gave birth to twins and raised them in our raspberry bushes, so we let them shelter in our garage until the momma cat (Heather) left them. We brought in Olivia and Pekoe and raised them until they were mature then tried to find them "forever homes". We didn't want to separate the siblings so we gave them to my friend together, but Olivia kept coming back so now we have ALL FOUR Here's Olivia and his sister Pekoe when they were younger: Alright, I'll stop talking about my loving cats now, sorry

I still can’t get over the phrase “make her a bowl of cereal.” I legitimately had to ask myself if a bowl of cereal is something you can “make” in a gramatical sense. “Pour” would work, or “get,” but “make” does not compute for a bowl of cereal.

sephiRoth IRA posted:But why? Why exclude him? There's some missing data here. The obvious solution is gently caress em, but I wonder what dynamics led to this Relationship, especially with the parents backing it up OP: quote:Like I said they have a number disagreements. My family always make comments about his occupation which is in Law enforcement (he's a cop) Ryan always takes those comments as a joke and tries to ignore them but my sister is mainly the one with heavy dislike towards him. Ohhhhh. Nah there's definitely something going on there.

Involuntary Sparkle posted:OP: Well that clears it up. From the story it sounded like she was just pushy and the rest of the family was loving with her, but she's the one trying to bring an rear end in a top hat into their lives. A wedding should be a happy event for the bride and groom, and if they want to exclude children or cops that is their prerogative.

AITA for demanding my fiance pay me back for selling my train collection?quote:I(28F) lived with my Aunt and Uncle as my parents could not raise me. My Uncle started collecting trains as a hobby when he was working as an engineer. I took a huge interest in them as a child and teenager. My Uncle gave me his entire train collection when he became sick. look, stealing your poo poo is what's best for both of us. i get money for selling your stuff *and* you stop paying attention to something that isn't me

Sometimes you get a reversal from title expectations in the post, but uncommon is the one whose absence in the OP is suspicious but devastating to their case when finally revealed in a comment.

Foo Diddley posted:AITA for demanding my fiance pay me back for selling my train collection? Shouldn't it be possible to get the collection back? I mean they weren't married so it didn't belong to him, so it's theft, no? If for example a pawn shop buys stolen goods they don't get to keep it, at least in the US. There's a lot of stories like this and I always wonder.

My Aunt is devastated that my fiance sold them. I just have no words for my fiance anymore. quote:I have been in contact with a lawyer and will also get police involved. I came back yesterday and it's just been a lot to deal with. depending on how much the collection was worth, that could be grand theft. in peace, dipshit ex-fiance

There's this whole category of stories that are: One person sets an explicit boundary, second person agrees, then violates that boundary at the first opportunity, with the excuse of "but I really wanted to." How do these people get into long-term relationships? It's never "guy I started dating 3 weeks ago" but "fiance" or "spouse of 30 years."

AITA for telling my boyfriend the word duvet isn't classist?quote:Ok Reddit, I know this is a strange question. Tonight when my boyfriend and I were doing the laundry I asked him to pass me the duvet and he had no clue what I was talking about. He asked if I meant the "big fluffy blanket". And I was like "yeah, the duvet! that's what I meant thanks" And his response was "that's classist" and then proceeded to ask me "what do you put a cup on?" and I responded "a coaster" and he was like, see that's classist too. Like I get not knowing a word. And I politely told him what the word meant... But also I don't think that the word duvet is classist??

I don't think there's any reason to believe the collector did anything but act in good faith, but I am somewhat confused by the fact that OP is 'having to demand their money back' from fiancee and that this is apparently a problem. Where the gently caress is the money, fiancee?

I can almost guarantee you that the dipshit tossed them off way below value. To him the trains are garbage competing with him for attention, and so any amount of money is 'decent' because it got him paid and the competition gone.
