It seems to me the guilt comes from keeping up the con so long it has caused actual family rifts; even if we on the outside can objectively see that it was the best and safest way to go about things, those closer to the situation might be blinded by their upbringing and family circumstances. There's a reason therapists exist, after all.

AITA for telling my husband that if he pays me my hourly rate I will do more housework.quote:I am a Steamfitter. But I've been at it for a while and I'm in supervision.

Most AITA are just creative writing exercises for upvotes. Notice how the vast majority of stories are written in such a way that no one would ever conclude OP is (Y)TA. If you want to read the real ones, typically look for the stories where most people are voting OP TA, because those are the people dumb enough to post real life situations and think people online will support them. There are occasionally exceptions where redditors reddit and declare someone (Y)TA who really isn't based on some warped ideas, but normally, the above holds true. MajorBonnet posted:I was reading this one earlier and the reddit comments made me feel like I was taking crazy pills. So many of them were saying that if she wanted her parents attention she should do something to earn it. As a parent even though one of my kids is already in school and doing lots of things and the other one is still in daycare, we still try to find things to praise about both of them so the younger doesn't feel ignored. Still, there's more things the older one is doing we want to encourage. I didn't get the feeling the parents were ignoring the older kid here, just that the younger kid is making a lot more of themselves and that makes the parents happy. If I had two teenagers, one who sits at home all day and the other who goes and excels in a lot of things, I'd make sure they both know they're loved and appreciated, but I'm not going to praise sitting at home at the same level as a kid training and succeeding in sports or other extracurriculars. Not sure if that makes sense. Crazy Joe Wilson fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Mar 21, 2024 |

From an otherwise boring Telegraph article:quote:Indeed. I know one couple where the wife -- let's call her Amanda -- has "shut up shop". She told her husband of 35 years to gather ye rosebuds elsewhere, so long as he doesn't hit on her friends, and she doesn't know about it or hear about it. However, he was too idle and incompetent and was so used to her taking care of business that he kept asking her to do that too, ie organise own his extra-marital affair. Finally he asked her to please ask Minty (not her real name) if Minty might be up for doing the honours. "Minty? Are you serious?" Amanda protested. Minty had been her very best friend since school, as she gently pointed out. I can't decide whether "hey honey ask your bestie if she's up for discreetly loving me" is an insane power move or a truly fabulous level of incompetence.

The sisters story feels like a riff on Daria.axolotl farmer posted:Steve Jobs followed the Mucusless Diet Healing System by Arnold Ehret, a German quack. It first came out in 1924. I read that as the Merciless Diet Healing System. Pantaloon Pontiff posted:I like Mom here.

And that's some decent priorities, because that's, y'know, actually a problematic aspect to a relationship. Because of course bigots will put up with all kinds of gross, awful and abusive poo poo as long as it's within the accepted labels.

For UI, you must go to one branch to check your balance or withdraw money, and each of those have low-level fees associated with it. You're told you can pay things directly with your card, but it never works. You cannot call the bank with questions (including checking your balance) and simply refer to the 800 number printed on the back of your card. And if you have an uneven balance or change in your account, sucks to be you. After the last deposit, you have a limited amount of time to get your money out of the bank or they'll take the $1.35 left as a service fee. Don't go to Indiana. It sucks.

Yeah did some quick googling, apparently some states have privatised child support enforcement. If your deadbeat ex refuses to pay child support, a private company will hound him into paying. Some are paid fixed fees by the state/county. Some take fixed cuts from the child support payments. Some take a, usually double-digit, percentage, which can be as high as 20-30% (lmao Arizona). Yeah it sounds scummy as poo poo. Shanghaied fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Mar 21, 2024 |

My [44M] ex-wife [43F] wants to stop paying me alimony now that my girlfriend [22F] is pregnant. Can we make peace?quote:My ex and I divorced two years ago, after a 21-year marriage. We married young, and she was very career driven. I worked in real estate, and she worked in tech. By the time we divorced, she was a very highly paid manager at a FAANG company, and part of the divorce settlement was 15 years of alimony paid to me. She had been fine with this, paying me the agreed-upon $8,000 per month, but now, she is trying to end it.

But people were crawling out of the woodwork to poo poo on her and give her terrible advice. It's kind of a hard one. I do wonder what the correct course of action would be in that type of situation, where one child is so much more accomplished than the other ones. Do you not celebrate one child's accomplishments? Do you celebrate the other children's minor accomplishments even if they pale in comparison? Wouldn't that feel patronising?

Shanghaied posted:It's kind of a hard one. I think one thing is examining why one child is high achieving and one isn't. Maybe one is getting more support or the other needs more support. Things are rarely as simple as Goofus and Gallant. Also, instead of praising accomplishments, praise effort. It might not be what the "real world" does, but otherwise you're teaching them that their value is tied to what they do (or fail to do) and not who they are.

Possibly my own issues here, but OP saying "It's no wonder my parents love my sister more, she's prettier and smarter than I am." is really painful, because it's the same thing I've internalized, and it's just so wrong. It's the parents' duty to love their children equally, or at least not to make it so obvious that everyone else can tell who the favorite is. I've lost count of how many times I insisted to my friends that no, really, they loved me just as much as my sister, while thinking "And if they don't really then it's just because I'm not good enough." They don't need to celebrate OP exactly as much as the sister, but what they describe is everyone only praising the sister, only talking about the sister and completely ignoring OP, and this probably isn't the first or even tenth time they've been sidelined. If it's anything like my childhood, think every family gathering.

I mean people should be allowed to dress in a way that makes them comfortable, it's not like going to a renfaire you legally have to dress up. Last wedding I went to I wore a vest and tie not a dress or skirt. Nobody cares. I feel like we're missing a lot of info on how she handled this.

Not that the kid is wrong to exercise the only autonomy he has. i'm gonna be picky here, i don't think it's "shunning is a form of bullying" so much as "shunning can be a form of bullying". i think intent is really what makes an act 'bullying' and i don't think the child standing up for himself and his boundaries here qualifies as such.
