In all seriousness, it makes me want to actually experiment if keeping the loaf end in the bag helps with staleness. I always did it to keep the slices fresh, but I never did any real study into if it REALLY did anything.

AITA For telling my boyfriend to take back the car he surprised me with?

I can't believe nobody got in with this before me: gift giving is an act of aggression.(In this case it actually is).

When I cook if there is an inferior dish (eg I broke the yolk on one of the fried eggs) I take that one and my wife and son get the good ones. At worst she and I will split the worse portions. Husband here is straight-up being an rear end in a top hat and then trying to gaslight her.

The problem with getting the uncle arrested is that he's the secondary villain here, but he's the one who is going to suffer, plus OP has just torched their relationship. What they should have done was demand the flatware AND the ring back or they are calling the police for theft.

AITAH for getting mad at my BF for using the cheese grater on his feet?

quote:

I'm on mobile so sorry for formatting. This is my main account and I'm new to Reddit. My (29F) boyfriend (31M) and I have lived together for six months. I work from home but he goes into work everyday. Last week one day, I went to use the downstairs bathroom when I was grabbing a snack (I usually use the upstairs master because my office is upstairs).

I happen to notice the cheese grater sitting in the tub and a small amount of white powder next to it. I thought it was weird but was distracted by a work project so I grabbed the grater and threw it into the sink then went about my day. I did dishes later and cleaned it.

Fast forward to today, I went grocery shopping and got some TP and was putting some under the sink in the downstairs bathroom and to my surprise, the cheese grater was in the tub along with the same white powder next to it. By this time I'm thinking something is up and since it's only my BF and I here, I text him and ask him if he has been putting the cheese grater in the tub. Here is the convo:

Me: Hey I found the cheese grater in the tub, do you know what that's about?

Him: Yeah, I use it on my feet but I always wash it well but I've been too tired to wash it lately NOTE: He has been working 10 hours of OT a week for the last two weeks

Me: ... lol are you really using it on your feet? We use that for the food we eat

Him: yeah, but I wash it with hydrogen peroxide and water then again with antibacterial soap, I just forgot to clean it.

Me: Can you not do that? I'm disgusted that you've been doing this and I didn't know.

He then calls me and tells me it's no big deal, he is 31 years old and has been using the cheese grater on his feet for over a decade and has never gotten sick. I tell him that's disgusting and he needs to stop.


Here is where I might be the rear end in a top hat- He did ask me for a foot bath and a good quality foot scrubber for Christmas but I got him the other stuff on his list instead: a Nintendo Switch (He has two young boys), a robe and a car cleaning kit. All on his list, it's just all I could afford.

When he told me he was bummed I didn't get him the foot care I said maybe next year. Then he asked if he could use my foot scrubber which I thought was a gross habit and said no.

So he says because I didn't get him that gift and then denied to share my foot scrubber, I am the AH.

I say buy one for yourself but you're the AH for using a kitchen utensil to shave off your skin.

So, AITA?

Carolyn Hax: Couple agreed to be ‘productive’ during pandemic but only one followed through

quote:

Dear Carolyn: Before the pandemic, my wife and I — early 30s, both lawyers — had long working hours and frequent business travel, with weekends spent largely on family events and cultural activities. Once our respective firms sent us to work at home, we calculated we would gain 30-plus hours a week, even while still working full-time, due to not commuting, traveling or socializing in person. We promised each other we would use that time to be productive in ways our prior schedules did not permit.

I kept up my end of the bargain: In six months I read 25 biographies, developed decent conversational skills in two foreign languages, upped my running program to the point that I am marathon-ready, and started volunteering for voter registration advocacy, all while continuing to work full-time. My wife has done … not so much. She has been reading fantasy novels, occasionally watching a History Channel documentary, and has generally used the time to “unwind.”

I have confronted her several times, and she tells me she is “rejecting productivity culture” and doesn't feel like improving herself right now. We share housework, cooking, and other practical matters, and she does exercise, but I'm getting increasingly frustrated — disgusted, even — that she would waste this gift of free time just to watch TV and read books better suited for children.

I have asked her to get counseling and a depression evaluation, but she has refused and thinks she is conducting herself “fine.” Do you have any suggestions, other than divorce?

— Productive

I don't think we usually post the columnist's advice but...

quote:

Productive: Divorce might be her best option, so do I have to leave it out?

Aaaaaaaand you'll never guess what happened

quote:

Hi Carolyn - I'm the lawyer-husband who wrote in some weeks ago about being frustrated that my wife (also a lawyer) wasn't taking better advantage of the extra time we had gained from not commuting and traveling for work to do more productive things, such as intellectual reading and more intensive exercise. We did subsequently attend a few sessions with a marriage counselor which were very helpful. In particular, we identified that a big part of the difference in how we wanted to spend leisure time was a direct result of the specific demands of our (paid) work. Although we are both lawyers, my work at the moment involves working on routine contracts, for the most part, that are not particularly intellectually challenging; on the other hand, hers involves clients who are much more emotionally demanding, plus high-stakes pro bono work with lifesaving implications - so she ends up feeling drained and wanting to take it easy during non-work time. Ultimately, we also figured out that I am just a person who likes to go on all cylinders all the time (which makes my current work all the more frustrating - although I'm glad to have it at a time when a lot of law firms have been doing layoffs), while she prefers cozy quiet time in her personal life. After the counseling sessions, we did decide to separate/divorce due to not really having compatible outlooks and priorities, but are doing so from a much warmer, friendlier place, without resentments and blame. At the core, we are just very different people, something that didn't really come to light while we were so, so busy finishing law school and singularly focused on building our careers, but the close quarters of the pandemic made it obvious that we would be happier going in different directions.

The uncle torched the relationship when he stole from his niece. She still has bargaining power to get the ring back, she could propose to drop charges.
