FMguru posted:His comment stream is pretty LOL Honestly, I have no sympathy for cheaters, not even if they regret it or whatever. Everyone always has options to not let things get to that point but they did, due to their own active decisions. Kinda funny that he's sticking around with his "gf" for ... ??? sunk cost reasons? He doesn't even like her so he may as well cut her out of his life, but I guess he's too much of a wuss to be single either. Cheaters are cowards.

It's definitely sunk cost fallacy, with a dash of 'I'm miserable, but I deserve it'. But I guess if girlfriend keeps being unsatisfied with both the lack of sex and not getting the big fancy house, she might do the work for him.

Pookah posted:Yeah, if the Mothers Day thing had been the result of simple thoughtlessness, he have apologised and immediately made it up to her. The vibe I get is that this being the "straw that broke the camel's back," is that it led to a moment like the end of The Usual Suspects, where all the little lovely things husband had done and acted clueless about just all came flooding back, leading her to get quite pissed and divorce-y. Can't say I blame her.

Everyone always has options to not let things get to that point but they did, due to their own active decisions. His relationship was already dead (I don’t think you come back from 5 years of living together without sex unless both partners are asexual), all he needed was to have the decency to file for divorce before going after the new girl. Cowardice as you say, he wanted to have a fallback plan in place.

Yeah he should have cut the relationship off, not detonated it. It was already dead.

Bfs boomer mother "it's the same thing" charcuterie board was a nightmare dishquote:It's a family wedding, very small backyard wedding. A few of us are meeting up discussing food options, the budget is incredibly minimal because the couple wants to spend more on buying a house and going on a honeymoon so the wedding itself is just a tiny budget celebration. We decided it's more feasible to bring a few dishes. It's all pretty easy until we get to discussing having some nibbles* (corrected spelling, autocorrect did me dirty!!) available before the ceremony the bride is dead set on having a nice charcuterie layout. Down to be clear my BF is the bride's brother. His best friend is married to a professional caterer who only does charcuteries and she is more than happy to set up for just the cost of the food and it would be a gorgeous delicious arrangement. Like this woman's been in magazines her work has been on TV shows and movies she's catered all kinds of events for celebrities. Having her offer this is a huge deal. since i know you're dying to know, the autocorrect mentioned in the first paragraph was "nipples"

This is a stupid question inspired by boomer MIL. Is there a term for when someone feels bad because they've done something that they know to be wrong, but because they think that they can't do any wrong they project that bad feeling onto other people? Is that what narcissism is? Or is it just stupidity/emotional immaturity. Feels like there should at least be a German word for it.

That sounds like a wedding I actually would have wanted to go to just because of how insane it would have been. In my mind that mother looks like the crazy religious one from that swapping housewives show. "She's not a real Christian!" one. AITA for refusing to babysit my nieces quote:When my (28f) sister May (30f) was twenty she got pregnant with her daughter Reece. My parents immediately rushed to coddle her and help her and her now husband Mike (33m) with everything. She continued college while my parents paid for everything she and her child would need. Mike worked with my dad as an intern at his company while also continuing going to college and this continued even after she gave birth. My parents would watch her kid until she or Mike came home and I always found that to be very unfair on my parents. The entire time I kept reading and going down and down and wondering when the coddling was happening and the spoiling and The parents not wanting to be around their kids at all and forcing them up on the grandparents and other relatives all the time, and I'm still waiting for that!

Narcissists insist that they can't be wrong, so if something happens wrong because of the narcissist, it has to be someone else's fault. Narcissism has an inherent bit of emotional immaturity.

AITA for not sharing a family recipe with someone who doesn’t consider me familyquote:My boyfriend Nick and I have been dating for 3 years, almost 4 now. Before this incident I got along great with his family. I was invited to spend holidays with them and we exchanged gifts on birthdays so I thought we were pretty close. Every year Nick’s family goes on a trip, this summer the trip was to somewhere i really wanted to go. I asked his mom, who was planning the trip, if I could tag along if I payed for myself. She said sorry no but this is a family trip and I wasn’t family yet. I told Nick and he said no one’s s/o was invited so I wasn’t the only one being excluded. I was still upset but dropped the subject.

AITA for being honest?quote:I told this story to a friend of mine and he called me an AH. So, I figured I would take this to reddit to see what the internet has to say. But anyways, not too long ago I went on a date with this one woman. We went to a bar and got drinks and split some loaded nachos. The date was going super well, the conversation was flowing, she was laughing, I was having fun! The dude sprang his poo poo goblin status too early, you have to say that until after you've moved in together!

Cowslips Warren posted:Only once have I met a chill priest (is that the term?). He was a Catholic priest in the full regalia, in my copy store, was always super polite and nice and never mentioned religion, and one night some teens wanted to gently caress with him, so they asked if he could bless them of their sins. I think they were as surprised as I was when he did the full loving blessing in Latin. Dude had a voice like James Earl Jones. So this guy lives in a mound of bugs and tries to correct for that by spraying Raid on her food. She feels guilty for not wanting to spend the night. Simultaneously, and on the same planet, there is a large subculture of men who spend all day complaining that women have impossibly high standards.
