Agreeing with each other means you don't waste all that time arguing between two chucklefucks about how you think the world should be better, and spending your lifetime weighing options that MAY help while doing nothing except continuing to survive. Agreeing means you can just skip to working to make it better.

StrangersInTheNight posted:i'm always like, what the gently caress do two people with opposing values even talk about on the day-to-day? 'not talking politics' pretty much limits you to only loving, or one of you lying constantly to keep the peace, like OP's bf. What weird universe do you live in where the only thing to talk about is politics?

I'm always up for a "Golden Child fails to launch" story AITA for not letting my brother move in with me? quote:My (F35) brother (M41) used to be the golden child of my parents. He always thought he was the smartest person in any room, he’s opinion is the absolute truth. He’s misogynistic, selfish, and thinks he’s better that everybody. Let me just give you an example of the piece of work he is. When COVID started my parents go it and there was no vaccine available yet. They were very. VERY sick, saturation levels were on 64, they needed oxygen. We were going crazy trying to find the money to by the oxygen machine (Not sure what it’s called, English is not my native language) My dad´s family sent money over with my brother without telling me and HE SPENT THE MONEY. He’s THAT SELFISH.

Cowslips Warren posted:I knew a dude who got engaged, and once that ring was on, he and his lady decided they would be celibate until they got married, even though they'd been loving like mad beforehand. Things being as they are, he needed to take care of himself one night, so he left bed about midnight, sat in the living room and got busy. Of course she woke up when she saw a light on, came out and found him, big fight because he'd been jerking off in front of their fish tank. He ended up getting rid of the fish tank. I can't believe that in a forum full of Xers and Millennials nobody beat me to this.

AITA for not letting my MIL and FIL help me with the baby after their reaction to me being injured?quote:I (21f) have a 7 month old son with my boyfriend. My family lives abroad and are coming over to stay and help at Christmas time. For now, my MIL and FIL (60s-Debra and Bob) are helping me with household stuff and the baby. So far, we haven’t had any real issues and they’ve been a massive help. So these in-laws must despise their daughter-in-law, right? Do you think they heard the crash then looked at each other and were like, maybe this problem will take care of itself... artsy fartsy fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Oct 13, 2023 |

AITAH for feud w/ deceased husband's ex??quote:My husband and I were married for 12 years before he passed away. We have 2kids together. He also has 2 kids from a previous relationship. When he passed away his ex expressed wanting to keep things the same and have the kids spending time together. However she meant the custody schedule meaning I still have her kids 50% of the time. I missed my husband and was always close with my step kids so I agreed. 3 years have passed and his kids are 15&16 and I still want them in my life however I want to start forming my own habits, traditions and vacations without her imput such as vacations on "her off time" and not taking them, me not spending enough on birthdays, her asking me for money for their sports and interests.

Deified Data posted:Why is that just as likely There's an entire genre of jokes based on the extremely common stereotype that everybody dislikes their mother-in-law. And in this particular case, the story that "Both in-laws are cartoon villains that deliberately ignored a screaming woman for ten full minutes" is no more believable than "The first instinct of a woman who was too injured to move on her own was to start a timer so that she would know how long it took for help to arrive". The only actually-believable story here is that OP fell, the in-laws didn't hear her, and the OP exaggerated or made up how long it took her to get up on her own as a ploy to get rid of the in-laws.

My wife and I opened our marriage, I hooked up with someone my wife feels I should’ve known was off limitsquote:This isn’t a revenge story. I’m not unhappy with an open marriage/ENM lifestyle so far and things have been going well up till now, just wanna make that clear before someone says I need to divorce my wife or act like she’s the villain. She’s not a villain and I just want to know what a good way to get passed this is. Are fwbs allowed with open marriages? I mean the devil is in the details but I thought the idea was to gently caress a ton of people, not have emotional connections/sex. But gently caress it I am single, what do I know other than what AITA has taught me! If you need to open your marriage for it to work, probably better to close the door, have a seat at a divorce lawyer's office. reddit said it better: quote:When I hear open marriage, I hear: “I want the freedom to find your replacement, but with the security of knowing you’re still there if nothing pans out.”

Wall plates are just plates you hang on a wall. If you knock them down, they'd probably break. Am I missing something where people just don't fall down stairs anymore? And generally "I hate my mother in law" jokes come from... bad behavior from in-laws.

Nothing implausible about it at all. I've had falls down the stairs that did everything described and more. It also isn't at all hard to have an idea of how long you spend somewhere, especially if you're constantly looking at a clock for reasons like "I have a new baby and need to keep track of feeding and such".

You got me, I'm siding with Debra because I hate women. Fatty posted:Are you completely unable to judge time without assistance? When I'm so severely injured that I can't move? No, my sense of time is not going to be accurate in that situation. Regardless, I flat out do not believe that someone who is too injured to move for 10 full minutes is going to suddenly get up with no symptoms worse than "some swelling an hour later".

Cowslips Warren posted:My wife and I opened our marriage, I hooked up with someone my wife feels I should’ve known was off limits I feel like open marriage, like polyamory, is a lot more susceptible to breakdowns in communication than more standard relationships, even when all partners are acting in good faith. For all that we decry romcom and decorum poisoning in this thread, there are some benefits of a shared cultural understanding of How Things Are Done, and that doesn't really exist right now for open marriages. Although, yeah, I agree that a mutual round of confirming that the grass isn't greener isn't a great indicator for the longevity of the marriage, even with both partners negotiating it ahead of time. I strongly suspect in this case that the wife was the one that initially proposed opening the marriage (hence the insistence that this isn't a revenge story), and that she wasn't nearly as comfortable with her husband seeing other women in actuality as she had been in theory. Like, she was fine with the idea of him having lots of random hookups, and she was fine with the idea of him having a steady hookup (it reads to me that she was only looking for a threesome in the latter case), but once she had a face for the other woman she suddenly wasn't comfortable anymore. None of her questions/insecurities are centered around the husband catching romantic feelings for his FWB, but are all things that could apply to any hookups. The unspoken rule being broken is simply an easy way for her to make the husband out to be the bad guy, rather than dealing with the fact that she can't actually handle him being with other women after all.
