I grew up at a national laboratory and the general stance there was that new hires took a year or two to learn that everyone else had a PhD too and nobody cared. That was when you could start teaching them useful stuff instead of busywork. Of course if someone was giving a presentation or some Senator was on-site the titles would come back out. They had their place.

Especially how she reflexively hid the issues when her father and father-in-law both sensed she was having issues. From the comments the pregnancy was planned, so her husband acting the way he has is doubly concerning and she needs to let other people know before he gets worse.

Little things. One time I forgot to switch the laundry to the dryer when she asked me to and then she flipped out saying I wasted water and the clothes smelled nasty because they had been sitting there wet.

Oh no, Long Island’s suburbanization is basically the last people finally considered “white” pulling up the ladder from anyone that came after them (or even before them, which is why I’m more keen on giving the land back).

It’s reeeaaal hosed and there is a reason it’s still considered heavily segregated. It’s still dear to my heart, and always will be, but as some schnook said “ain’t no island left for islanders like me”

(I’m on my period and I’m homesick)

In the comments he elaborates that the "string of arguments" is over him being a manchild who refuses to do even the tiniest bit of picking up after himself:

You don't know that Mario doesn't have a medical license.

Mario has been a boxing referee, a doctor, an Olympian, and a carpenter. Are all these official careers in Mario lore? If he has a medical degree, why does he continue his plumbing business?

SM: There's really only one rule in terms of the things that Mario does. Generally, it's that he's more on the blue-collar side. He's hard-working, and certainly much more physical in nature. So, I think that a doctor is sort of an unexpected and perhaps unbelievable role for Mario. Perhaps the Dr. Mario you're thinking of was maybe, in some way, not necessarily legitimate.

My GF has a dog (mix of 100 breeds). She tries her best with the dog which is why this decision is so tough for me. This dog has a bite history. It's mauled a small dog to death and bit a child. The later was under my GF's supervision and it did go to court. She had to pay a hefty fee and she was warned that if this happened again the dog would be put down and she would be criminally charged.

This was during the early days of the pandemic. My GF has done her best since then. She puts the dog in doggy day care, does lot of training sessions with him, puts a muzzle. For the most part the dog improved.

Yesterday we were at the dog park and I needed to get a bottle of water from the car. When I returned I found a small pup badly punctured and it's owner crying. I couldn't find my GF. I eventually found her about a mile away and she was in tears. Somehow the muzzle came off and during the interaction her dog bit the other one. She just ran because she didn't want to get in trouble.

I'm really conflicted on what to do. She's put the effort in to keep the dog safe but it clearly didn't work. I feel terrible for the owner of the other dog. What do I do?

TL;DR Should I report GF to the cops

I(19F) absolutely hate talking about farting when it comes to myself. It makes me feel gross and I never do it infront of my bf(20M). He on the other hand is very open about bodily functions and will gladly rip one right next to me. Hes admant about the fact that he feels holding in gas frequently is bad for your digestive system. Hes not rude of course so he doesnt do things like fart while were being intimate and he'll move if were cuddling, but he definitely doesnt feel the need to hold it until he can leave the room like I do. Today he brought up with me the fact that he never hears me pass gas. I just laughed it off and told him he "never will". And then he kept going. He said he wanted me to be comfortable and that holding it in like that might cause me serious intestinal issues. I told him he was being dramatic and asked him to stop discussing my farting habits because it makes me feel gross and I'm not rude enough to fart infront of him. He got offended and said its not fair to say it would be rude or gross. I figure hes the one who brought it up( something he had to know would embarrass me), so why get upset when I give my genuine input? Its not even his concern/business anyway

My dad really wanted me to marry my husband and I can honestly say that without the pressure from him I’m not sure we ever would’ve gotten married. Surprisingly our marriage has been great for me, not so much for my dad.

My husband and my dad used to be very close and my dad had a lot of influence over him. As my husband has gotten older, his opinions have changed and he’s stopped listening to my dad.

We went to dinner with my parents recently and my dad and husband got into a heated debate because my husband told my dad he didn’t need any advice and knew what he was doing. At one point my husband implied my dad was old, his methods were outdated and it was time for him to retire. My dad called him a “disrespectful bastard” and I really can’t say why I laughed, but I did.

It did stop their arguing but my dad was then angry at me and asked me if I thought it was funny that I married someone who would disrespect him. I told him he wanted me to marry him so it was his fault I was married to such a disrespectful bastard.

My mum forced us to change the subject before things could get really heated but it was obvious my dad was still angry at both of us once dinner was over.

AITA?

The best doctor story in an iteration of this thread was a woman who got a PhD entirely so her mysoginistic FIL had to put her name first on cards. She used his "but decorum" against him and according to her he nearly had a stroke from anger at having to show her anything that even remotely looks like respect.

Alas I've brought this up a few times but its lost in the deluge of posts.
