AreWeDrunkYet posted:Long time ago I was at a friend's place with some company when their family was eating so we got invited to join. I was active at the time and asked for seconds, and they gladly gave it. But another friend pointed out later that their financial situation wasn't great and it meant they probably had less at their next meal. Felt bad for a while about that The fun of mixing family cultures is when you get the unstoppable force of the European "not finishing your plate is rude to the host" grandparents up against the immovable Asian "guests finishing their plates means you didn't feed them enough" grandparents. Chuck em together at Christmas and see who blinks or bursts first.

The food was incredible though, we ate as much as we could stand. That explains a lot lol

I know this one bar, it's got like 6 bathrooms, all self-contained with real doors, unisex, attractive wood paneling, scented oil diffuser. It's so nice, and a decent spot for quiet, private elimination is highly underrated. E: in a lot of places in Europe this is actually very normal, and if the US doesn't close the shitter gap in the next decade, we're going to lose half the population to emigration.

Cowslips Warren posted:i think most of Reddit called the dude an rear end in a top hat because teen boys are growing, gotta feed em! The kid only asked for seconds, was polite enough to save room for dessert when he was denied, then asked for more when still hungry. I'm also willing to bet that they gave him roughly the same amount as his younger siblings, despite him now having an adult level appetite. There was no mention of this being something that would put them in a financial bind, otherwise the poster would have included it. Also, if having a guest over for a meal and having them eat seconds is going to dent your budget so badly you have to starve yourself...well, you probably shouldn't have guests over for dinner (or do a potluck or ask their parents to pitch in or something).

AITA for "helping" my brother divorce his wife for his much younger GF?quote:My brother is wealthy via the tech industry and has been retired for a few years now. He is brilliant with technology but somewhat clueless with people and many parts of everyday life. He has been married for almost 20 years and it was a bit of a surprise when he announced that he was leaving his wife for another woman. The other woman is 20 years younger than him and most of the family (including myself) is appalled by his behavior. bolding mine.

Cowslips Warren posted:iBut seriously asking for thirds is kinda a dick move, especially when you're told no, or to wait until after dessert. Like as the kid's parents, tell him no after the second course. Doesn't matter if you're still hungry, don't be a dick. It probably has to do with family traditions. In mine, if people leave the table hungry We Have Failed.

Didn't pick up a 'we need the leftovers to survive' vibe. More like a 'wow this is tasty and it would be nice to have leftovers tomorrow' or 'if kid doesn't eat another serving I won't have to cook tomorrow' or 'I keep leftovers; it's what I do' vibe.

I think a lot of people paper over the bad stuff in their relationship just because of stuff like this. If you tell people he hits you or is a slob who doesn't shower or whatever, and then end up sticking it out with him anyway, well, then they know and now it's an indictment on you as a person that you're still with them. Creeps and predators should totally be called out though, I like the cut of that OP's jib.

I just want my sleeping bag. I bought a very expensive, high-end sleeping bag that I didn't need for a season so I put it in the storage unit my wife and I kept. She then left me. She then threatened to call the cops on me if I ever tried to go to that storage unit to get my things out of it. I lost many thousands of dollars worth of belongings because of the threat of arrest if I retrieved my things. RELATIONSHIPS. SO FUN.

Let her call the cops? “Officer, I have a bunch of my things in this storage unit and my ex-partner isn’t letting me retrieve them. I’m sorry she called you.” Because drat, a good bag is worth it’s weight in gold.

For a Western Mountaineering bag I’d blowtorch a hole in the front door and get it myself. I haven’t had a good bag since my son destroyed mine playing with a burning twig while I was taking a crap. Come to think of it, it’s been over a decade since I’ve been backpacking.

See, this is why my wife and I got a prenup explicitly laying out what belonged to who, and the process for one partner to buy out the others share in relationship property in the event of us splitting up. Several mutual friends told us this was a terrible idea and that such a lack of trust was a bad start to married life. So far we're the only ones still in the same relationship from back then and watching some of the horrible splits and fighting over things has only reinforced that we made the right decision. TLDR: call the cops or a lawyer and get yo poo poo back my dude

My wife cheated on me and when I confronted her she laughed at me.quote:I cheated on my wife (m38,f41) 4 years ago. I regret it to this day and I have never done anything since. We have two small children and when she found out she moved out. Life was hard on the both of us and we were miserable. I love my wife more than anything and losing her was excruciating. After a few months apart I begged her to come back and we took it slow, going to therapy and just trying to build our life together back up. She moved back after a year and everything was back to normal again. We were even stronger and our relationship grew. We are very happy together. I finally thought our life was perfect again.
