I don't think anyone lost out here. You either want your BF to have a dream truck or you want him to be miserable. They just learned something important about each other in time to avoid moving in with an incompatible partner

This is a lousy gimmick, and that's coming from the one who just posted food-based rap parody. Anyway: quote:I do not have mommy issues. I just think that my wife could have been more graceful with how she treated her mother. I told her I could've asked her mom to leave but she chose to escalate. I may not understand their issues completely but I did it for her. Not me. But it's helpless. quote:Your right this has nothing to do what with me. I did not expect this reaction from my wife. It might be justified but I just don't get why she's so insisting on never giving her mom a chance to sit down for an honest conversation to try to get to the root of their problems. I've talked to my MIL and she expressed her desire to reconsile and I saw it was on fair to let a conflict prevent them from restablishing a relationship based on respect and understanding.

How some people are like "I don't understand..." and instead of becoming curious and trying to find out, they're like "it must be bullshit!" I don't understand why my wife won't get along with her mom. It must be bullshit! I need to force her to think like I do. I don't understand how a deaf-blind woman learned to read and write ergo it didn't happen and THEY are lying to us.

What gimmick? Giant truck devotion is a lifestyle. There's plenty of people in America that are all about giant trucks, and/or want their partners to have giant trucks. Figuring out where you're at on stuff like this is part of dating

The only reason anyone needs to own a truck is if you are frequently transporting lots of cargo - such as if you work in construction or lawncare. Dudes an office worker. gently caress him.

AITA for embarrassing MIL in front of a co-worker she hates, because she is determined to make my wedding planning hell?quote:My fiance's mom is the worst. She thinks she is a princess and we should all just bow down, and she very clearly thinks she is better than me. Don't worry he is not a mama's boy and he does his best, but we did make the mistake of accepting her generosity, so now we can't go scorched Earth when she starts up with her poo poo. I sure hope op doesn’t think this is over. I also never heard the sound of dueling banjos coming over a post more than this for some reason.

The only reason anyone needs to own a truck is if you are frequently transporting lots of cargo - such as if you work in construction or lawncare. Dudes an office worker. gently caress him. Totally BWM. Anyone who bought a top-of-the-line truck these past few years also paid big markups to do so. That money is now gone due to the market finally normalizing and truck sales falling dramatically. At the same time, insurance went up. These people can't trade them in without writing a huge check to pay off the loan so they buy any cheap car while they still have decent credit and let the truck go to repo. There was never going to be a happy ending for car payments over $1000 at 14%

Me [26F] with husband [26M] of 4 years. He sold his truck because of our baby and hasn't been the same since.quote:My husband and I have been together for 4 years and married for 2 of the those years. We always planned on having children but 7 months ago we found out it was happening a lot sooner than we imagined. He bought the truck right before we met. He loved it. I guess you could say he was even slightly obsessed with it. I knew this before we started dating and it didn't change in the 4 years we have been together. He spent a lot of money on it and continued to spend a lot of money on it. Everything he did in his spare time had to due with his truck. All his friends are truck guys like him and he's even in this cute little truck club. Since we've been together I don't think we have taken my car anywhere we have been together actually.

Hughlander posted:yep. But at 450 it may take 20-25 minutes depending on the oven. That's why I picked a high temperature. Is this a US/Europe thing where the lower voltage is taking a toll again (reason why boiling water for tea is apparently a pain in the US), because my (decent quality AEG) oven hits 450f/225c in 8-9 minutes. (Don't please ask me if I just timed this. )

Electric stoves (and dryers) in the US run on double-strength plugs; so 220 volts instead of 110. I think that makes them the same as Europe? Unless they use double-strength there too for QUAD DAMAGE...

Oh yeah, now I remember reading about the extra power for ovens in the US. Cerekk posted:It's because home ovens are much larger in the US It probably is this, but it might also be because it's a convection oven, too. quote:European ovens often come equipped with convection cooking as a standard feature, while this is less common in American ovens. Convection cooking uses a fan to circulate hot air, resulting in faster and more even cooking. This can be particularly beneficial for baking and roasting.
