Re wedding prank, yes the groom is insecure about his height and shouldn’t be but the others are bigger assholes for doing it at his wedding. Unless you are 1000% certain that the bride AND groom will find your hilaaaaarious prank funny, weddings are not the right place for “pranks”.

Oh my girlfriend is so sexy and hot, and also rich, and says I don't ever have to work and just stay at home and be her bangmaid/himbo. This may seem great but she also collects stamps, and its so embarrassing (like what a nerd lol). I'm thinking about, maybe one day when she's at her high flying job as a corporate lawyer, just taking her stamp collection and burning it. Is this a good idea?

GrandmaParty posted:It's because a lot of people will treat you differently or dismiss you because of it. Unfortunately, the only cure is self-confidence. Yes, I get that. It took a lot of work to internalize the idea that people who would dismiss me over it were bullets dodged, but at least the people outright mocking me just kind of organically got sorted out of my life through no conscious effort. It is specifically the bit where someone shares a story of a completely neutral interaction, or even a non-interaction like posing for a picture together, and the sharer makes it clear that literally no one in the story gave even a passing thought to their relative heights, but still reacts as if they'd suffered a devastating personal attack, that gets me. I guess yeah it's just the simple answer of dudes needing therapy and not getting it. BrigadierSensible posted:Whilst I will be talking about this one specifically, I feel that this, (like a lot of other ones that come up), is a tiny petty thing that could have been avoided with the smallest of communication, or understanding. I feel like the slew of similar stories may have answered this, but just so it's been made explicit, the parents are not the issue. "What will people think," is not the poster's concern, it is their excuse. If that were the problem, there is indeed an easy answer of just telling people off, as politely or directly as the situation warrants. OP is the one with the problem here. They don't like that their partner has a hobby that makes them happy, because it is one they don't personally care about. They'll call it embarassing, childish, socially unacceptable, whatever lets them externalize the issue because it is a lot easier to accept than the fact that they'll willingly destroy their partner's happiness for selfish reasons. That way you can say "I'm hurting you for your own good," which is catnip to a certain kind of person.

This one was very bad. The guy actually played with the figures like a child would and had a whole room dedicated to his figures. Girlfriend was pregnant and wanted the room as a nursery and went behind his back to daddy to get her way. The guy was reduced to a blubbering child-like state once he found his figures gone. Never saw an update.

Girlfriend was pregnant and wanted the room as a nursery and went behind I hope the update was he got the gently caress away and married the Ms Frizzle lady and they have rooms of just action figures and awesome dresses. poo poo, I think I have reached the stage in my life where I don't care what you collect as long as it doesn't hurt others. You want to spend $500 on anime figures, go hog wild, as long as everything else is cool with your money tied up in them. I remember an elderly couple I knew ages ago, where they had an arranged marriage, and they got along very well still. The husband once told me that his main interest was some kind of bird training, not quite falconry but close, and hers was astrology, to the point any time they made any major decision she had to consult her "special books," and even if they found the other's hobby somewhat silly, they still showed up to every reading and event and were supportive. He admitted he thought astrology was pure bullshit, but it made her happy, didn't harm anyone, so he'd go to all the conventions with her and wear certain jewelry, and along those lines, she felt his bird hobby was silly, but was making special foods for the hatchlings. Jesus gently caress, the world is a mess, let people be happy.

She has made her bed and has decades more of lying in it to look forward to until Rachel adds her to her poo poo list (if she hasn't already) and decides to punish her. Jesus Christ. That article is worth reading but terrifying.

OP talks about having doctors involved early on. I think it's super weird to just immediately shift the blame for their daughter being medically hosed up to them. The article you linked even talked about how some cases just don't get better. At that point, what do you want them to do? Involuntarily commit their adult daughter who seemingly before this was semi functional in society?

AITA for pressuring MIL to meet my son if she wants to come to his first birthday?quote:Our beautiful son is about to turn one and we are planning a party. We invited MIL who agreed to come, though she hasn't met him yet. MIL lives about 30 minutes away and I'm not sure why she hasn't met him, but it isn't due to the pandemic or lack of mobility. She has been traveling and socializing as normal and she does drive. She did invite us to Christmas but we said now that we have a baby we intend to host Christmas, which we invited her to, but she said she would rather do Christmas how she normally does. Kinda liking this "eh, maybe I'll be involved in your life, sometime" MIL as a little palate cleanser

wizardofloneliness posted:If you want to build an illegal addition onto your house, don’t be mega assholes to your neighbors for no reason. A lot of people seem to have trouble with this. This. Around my neighborhood there's a lot of dumb poo poo that the city would flip about; one dude runs a repair shop out of his garage, another dude parks his work van on the street all the time, a couple houses have empty pools that need to be dirt filled in but haven't yet. And no one says poo poo about it because no one wants the city to come down and crack everyone. Now there was a lady who would call and report all kinds of stuff about yards, people who left RVs in driveways overnight, people whose yard weeds were over certain inches, etc. No one else cared, there's no HOA here, but once people figured out it was her, her house kept getting all kinds of calls the very second weeds popped in her yard, or someone parked too long in front of her house. AITA for not remembering birthdays? quote:Context- I am not clinically diagnosed but for several years I've been told by several therapists to consider therapy for ADHD and BPD, which personally, I want to but I come from a poor household so holding together money for therapy is quite a luxury. I believe, due to my state, I am unable to remember birthdays, or more specifically I kinda can't make myself follow calenders and keep up with birthdays. I have tried to, but I always skip birthdays and always find out after they post gratitude posts on social media, then I'm hella late to wish but still, I text them and wish them well. Reddit reminds the poster there are these things called calendars/phone reminders. poo poo, I put reminders on my phone just in case for my friends' and nephews' birthdays because I don't want to forget, and it's easy to when there's like a dozen to remember.
