Also prom wasn't a thing in Israel, thankfully.

Nope, she won't say who, but did say it's someone they both hate. Reddit is leaning on Trump but it could be anyone.

Awesome. My neighbor complained about mine a few years ago and I had to have my rooster butchered. There are like ten other roosters in the neighborhood, but this rear end in a top hat decided to put his nose in my business.

My kid went to prom with her three best girlfriends. Man, I wish I'd had that option when I was a teenager, but if you didn't have a guy, you couldn't go.

Was prom different in the 80s/90s? Prom ruled, you did a bunch of what you suspect was molly, railed a few lines hung out with a cute girl and then split the moment people weren't looking to go gently caress around. Was prom not always an excuse to get it wet but romantically.

Instead, I think this kid should hire Rudy Giuliani to deliver the promposal on Cameo.

My daughter(16F) has had breathing issues most of her life and I have chronic sinusitis. Neither of us can breath though our noses when lying down. She did allergy testing, tried nasal sprays, neti pot, air purifier, etc etc and nothing helped . After a while she was losing sleep due to not being able to breath so we brought her to an ENT who suggested turbinate reduction and septoplasty. He did warn us that the surgery could make her nose look wider and she was afraid of that but agreed to do it because she couldn’t handle not being able to breath.

The healing from the surgery was hell but afterwards she could breath significantly better. The surgery did make her nose much wider and it didn’t fit her face as well compared to her presurgery nose. She complained and hated her nose but my husband and I told her to give it some time.

After 2 years she asked us for a rhinoplasty to get her nose back to presurgery shape for her birthday and I agreed. My husband was very against it and told us only sluts get rhinoplasty and he won’t let our daughter get plastic surgery. We had lots of fights until I just took her to get her nose fixed. In my mind it’s not really a cosmetic procedure if it’s to correct what the previous surgery caused. Surgery went well and she likes her new nose but my husband tells her she is ugly now because she got plastic surgery and she has cried and yelled at him for it. I probably should have known he would react like this because he is very conservative and against all plastic surgery.

Upto about 6 months ago I was a stay at home wife with no kids. This is something that my husband and I both prefered. We have been planning to move out to a different state this spring/summer.

I thought we were fine, financially. My husband had gotten a bonus from work last year and made a decent amount. However, about 6 months ago he told me that we were blowing threw money and he only had 500 dollars in his account.

I was floored. I realize that it was stupid of me to not keep an eye on his account with him and to be so oblivious. The overspending is both of our faults. Most money was being spent on dates and dinners. Some of it was spent on car repairs.

After he told me this, I got a job immediately. However, a week after getting my paycheck I noticed that all the money was almost gone. No problem, I thought. That means we spent less of his money. I asked him, and that turned out to be not the case. We had just spent twice as much money. He started grabbing expensive coffee for breakfast and had bought a couple of luxery items such as a new wireless controller and headphones.

I did not want to go on at this rate and got an idea: I would take out half of my paycheck in cash, and store it upstairs in my closet from now on. I would not touch this, and I would not tell anyone because the less people that are tempted to get into our secret savings, the better.

In the months to come, I spent all of the money I didn't store in cash, paying for groceries and other necessities. His money was still draining away, but I was less concerned now. I admit that I bought some luxery things like 1 ebook a month and a new dress twice.

Anyway, yesterday he told me we couldn't move out this summer because he wasstill broke and we had pissed away our money. I got the savings box from upstairs and showed it to him, thinking that he'd be relieved. Ithad nearly 6000 dollars in it; enough for plane tickets and a deposit for a new place.

However, he got angry and told me it was ridiculous that I was secretly saving up while we were spending his money freely and that I used him. I told him that the savings are his as much as they are mine, and that they are for us to start a new life together.

He was still very angry and wouldn't hear what I had to say. I offered that we go see a financial counselor to help us save up from both of our paychecks and budget more, so that we both saved money, but he said no. He is now not talking to me.

I did apologize of course, but it didn't help. What should I do?

TL;DR; I secretly saved money. Husband is angry.

Also, before the content, unrelated to anything: where is that av from? Google image search and trying to look for the half-seen text hasn't helped.

Basically, my boyfriend Chris and I have been together for a year and a half. We moved very quickly and we were living together within six months. We've been extremely happy together ever since and have no issues splitting bills or with cohabitation. His brother, John, has been with Melissa for two years. Chris asked me to move in with him. Melissa begged John to let her after I did.

Ever since, anytime she gets wind of something Chris and I are doing she immediately wants the SAME exact thing. For example last year Chris and I booked a trip to Bermuda. The next day they booked one for a week before us upon Melissa throwing a fit. I bought Chris a very nice tablet for his birthday. Melissa left in the middle of the party and made sure to spend more money than I did to prove a point. Last weekend I got a new car. She's been bitching about how she wants one and begging John to cosign ignoring the fact that I saved and bought it in cash myself.

One of the worst examples is I had a "surprise" last summer. The moment she found out she started pressuring me to let her adopt our baby because she wanted one. I miscarried. She then started trying to push John into having kids and started buying baby clothes and leaving them on the open without any consideration to the fact that we were mourning. John told her he didn't want to adopt and didn't want kids. She did it anyway.

It's frustrating to say the least.

The biggest issue I'm having right now is that for my 21st birthday we've been planning since before we were together to go to Vegas. Last night, Melissa pushed John into going for her birthday which is a week before mine. He suddenly decided he was going to propose. This is the second major vacation that we've planned that he's stolen the idea for and tried to top it.

I understand that it's petty, but it's also frustrating that she has to steal the specialness away from anything unique that I or we do together.

Melissa and I are not on good terms. To top it off she is abusive, and I've told her that to her face. How can we approach this subject?

Tl;dr: boyfriend's brother keeps taking our ideas and tries to one up them because his girlfriend gets jealous of what we do. He now is using our vacation to propose to his girlfriend

UPDATE: Turns out that there's a major family event going on the same day they were planning on leaving. They got guilted about going at all that week because Melissa offered to help with the event. I had my dates mixed up, so they are now going some place smaller. John is upset, Chris is laughing his rear end off while we watch Melissa throw a temper tantrum.

There's this cute guy (Jesse, 28M) I've (26F) been seeing for months. he's NOT my boyfriend yet. we've just gone out twice and not by ourselves but with a group so things are still superficial between us but I have hopes for this one.

Here's where the issue started, He's in the same group I'm in on facebook. He posted a picture of his left arm covered in tatoos. Most of it, and said that he got them recently. This irked me because...for one, he didn't tell me beforehand and two, this might cause problems in the future considering my parents are "ultra religious" and have a judgemental view on tattoos in general so I was worried this might affect how they precieve him in the future. I brought this up to him at the next group gathering and he looked shocked when I mentioned it infront of his friends. He seemed irritated after I expressed how he made a hasty decision before consulting a potential partner (me). He didn't have anything to say and his friends kept staring at me. He texted me later asking wtf am I to have said what I said infront of everyone and to "scold" him about a decision he made like I was his mom. I said I was just hurt he didn't bother running this by me regardless of my opinion on it but he said that I had overstepped and embarrassed tf out of him with my reaction. OK maybe I didn't handle this the best way but I genuinly had concerns about factors that would affect our relationship. Again, I'm not against tattoos but I was just keeping my parents in mind.

Ok, so this actually happened last night but it’s been less then 24 hours so I think it counts. Either way, I played a prank on my sister who is a new mom. My niece is 2 months old and I came by to help out around the house some.

I ended up hanging out all day and long after her husband came home from work. The baby was sleeping in a back room so my sister asked me to check on her.

After confirming that my niece was deeply asleep, I saw a nearby baby doll and got a wicked idea. I wrapped it up in blankets and took it back with me, rocking it the whole way.

When I got back, my brother in law was walking across the room in my direction. My sister was sitting on the couch. We locked eyes and I said, “She’s awake and…” and then I dropped the doll.

I was expecting my brother in law to look comical in a scramble to catch her but nope. He instinctively shot out his foot like he was trying to catch a hacky sack and kicked the doll across the living room and into the windows that overlooked the backyard!

My sister screamed and rushed to the doll while I laughed hysterically and my brother in law just stood there stunned. She cradled the doll, now realizing that it was just a joke, but still she sobbed for a long time. She was so furious that she wouldn’t speak to either of us. When she was able, she fled to the back room and spent the night cuddling her daughter.

I spent the rest of my night consoling her husband who also thought it was pretty funny once the shock wore off. He was worried about my sister but she wasn’t letting either of us in so there wasn’t anything we could do about that.

She did message me this morning saying that she is going to stay with our mom until she cools down but that I’m still not to go to her house for any reason.

So yeah, she’s still pissed. At me for doing the prank in the first place and now she doesn’t think my brother in law “has it in him to be a good father”.

Tl;dr - I pretended to drop my sister’s new baby, my BIL booted the doll I dropped by instinct, we’ve both ruined my sister’s trust in us.
