Is it actually his aunt by blood relation? There's a guy we called our uncle growing up who wasn't actually an uncle. There was no gay relationship going on, but I've seen that situation too. Where they call a same sex relationship partner person "uncle" or "aunt" to avoid having to explain the situation to a kid. It's probably far less common today given how accepted things are, but it was a lot more common once upon a time.

Especially when they aren't the owners? Our dog is registered to our name and everything so it seems weird a vets office would agree to do that without the owner present.
And he jokes he should have put her down? Wtf all around
I feel like there are omitted details still even though I got totally wrecked when she confirmed he was in good health. Like there's some big point of tension in their relationship that involves the dog and her behavior and attitude toward it. That she is omitting possibly unintentionally because she doesn't realize how obnoxious it is. "This relationship would be perfect if it wasn't for this dog" I think most people realize the problem is their s.o. and not some poor pet.

The people who post obnoxious poo poo about their cats on my facebook/instagram feeds are lovely people who get obsessed with a cat due to being a lovely person. Not because if you remove the cat they'll be perfect.

Should have had her put down is a good burn.

I guess the other option is he just wanted to murder the dog and console her while it was gone because he's a ridiculous person. I'm not sure how likely this is.

This. Due to my birthday I was almost a year younger than most of my classmates. It was never an issue. The mom wanting to keep him back is probably just delaying his life and separating him from his friends for no reason. Even in kids all the same age, puberty hits at different ages and that's the only real consideration. Also, I had plenty of friends a year or three older and a few a year or three younger as well.

I don't think I was that big as a kid until near puberty. Then at 12 I was like 6'0.

Who's evil? The 28 year old woman who gets mad and slaps a child in the face over what could have been an innocent question or a child asking a question? She has no examples of the child doing anything actually malicious.

It's not nearly as complex as these people make it out to be, and she is just justifying her own lovely behavior. She was clearly connecting with the kid over makeup, the kid said something way out of line and it hurt her feelings due to it being 180 of what they were doing and also offensive on its own even though the kid might not know that, and instead of reacting like a god drat adult and just calmly explaining she wasn't or that it's inappropriate to say stuff like that she slaps the kid in the face?

Even if the kid was playing it up, she slapped the kid and feels like she's at war with a literal nine year old. She can't act like an adult and is instead getting owned by a nine year old girl through her own admission. It might even be by accident and not intentional. Someone is clearly poisoning the well with the gold digger stuff, but the child also seems to like her. There are some real bad kids out there, but the child is not even accused of making anything up. This woman is ruining her own life.

The father is never going to live that slap down. That's infinite ammo for the girl's mother, and he can't rationalize it like she is trying to. It doesn't sound like he wants to give her a chance over it anyway.

My (24 F) husband (26 M) abruptly adopted a Burmese python. It terrifies me, and I want to rehome it.
Props for the real accurate title.

quote:

Six months ago, our corn snake unexpectedly died. My husband and I were both very upset; he was a cute little guy and still very young. My husband has owned several small reptiles during his lifetime, and he told me he was thinking of trying a milk snake this time instead of a corn or a garter. Instead, two months after our corn died he came home with a baby Burmese python. Apparently it's always been his dream to own a Burmese. Not only am I pissed that he got something like that without consulting me (on the upside, where we live they are legal) but I had several reservations that have only grown since we've owned it.

-I have GAD and that thing triggers my anxiety like no other. When I was doing research about Burmese pythons I kept reading stories about them killing pets, children, and even their owners. So now I'm freaked out and have barely slept for four months. This is made worse by the fact that my husband has no experience with large snakes and the larger the python grows, the more it shows, and also by us having a cat. The other snakes we've had (our corn snake, and my husband's old garter snake) posed no threat but now I constantly worry that the python is going to get out and eat her. I've taken to locking the cat in our bedroom at night, which interferes with our sleep since she meows and scratches at the door, and I constantly worry about her when she's home alone.

-I'll reiterate, this thing is loving huge. He is already 6 feet long.

-I'm home more than my husband so I have to feed it and change its substrates often. I hate doing both. So much. Especially now that he's graduated to eating rabbits and pigs. I honestly think that since my husband bought him without consulting me that caring for it should be his sole job, but I'm not going to let it go hungry or live in its own waste out of pride.

-I honestly don't think we'll be able to give this snake the best quality of life, which I think is essential for all pets. He's getting too big for the tank he's in, which is his third since we've gotten him, and I don't think we have the room in our house for the enclosure my husband wants to build him. His food is very expensive and eating into our savings, but it's what he needs, so we can't downgrade. The python does not deserve to live in a tiny space and eat inadequate food because my husband wanted one as a kid. At the same time it's a good possibility it could eat us out of house and home.

-I don't want kids while we own a python and these things can live up to 20 years. I don't want to never have children, which I've dreamed of, because of a python.

Because of all these reasons, but especially the ones about our cat and its quality of life, I think we should rehome the python, preferably to a wildlife sanctuary or something. I've gently brought all of this up to my husband-how much mental anguish it causes me, how worried I am for our cat, how the snake is unsustainable-and all he's done is tell me to get over it, accuse me of not caring about his happiness, and tell me I'm being prejudiced against animals that aren't cute and cuddly. None of this is true, not even the last accusation, I liked his smaller snakes a lot.

How can I communicate productively with my husband about this issue? He already loves this snake and I think that's getting in the way of him seeing reason.
Next on r/relationships, "my husband's cat died and he came home with a baby tiger."

The follow up post is great too. She moved out while he was at work, had his reptile friend come over and yell at her husband, and everything ended happily ever after after it was rehomed.

Oh yeah, he was feeding it baby pigs. Which are called piglets.

Me [27 M] with my girlfriend [23 F] of 1 year, disapproves of me going to a bachelor party with strippers.

quote:

I went to a bachelor party this past weekend, and the host invited strippers over for entertainment. I told my girlfriend about this because I like to be transparent and honest about everything. And now she things that my friends and I are disgusting people. She told me that she doesn't want to look at me anymore or even be touched by me. What's the best course of action to help heal these wounds. We have been dating for around a year, and have never gotten into a serious conflict like this.

TL;DR went to a bachelor party with strippers, gf angry. How do I make Amands?
I liked this one because when I read the title I thought it was a preemptive veto.

quote:

I told her the nights events. Play by play. We started with video games, played some ping pong, poker. I told her I got quite drunk. Strippers showed up. I felt uncomfortable, hung out back while they did they're thing with the bachelor. That's when she told me I should've have left the party. I told her I didn't know how to react to a situation like that. I told her I didn't do any dances with them, it really isn't my thing. And that she needs to trust me. She said I crossed the line. And should not have been there during the entertainment.
He didn't even know there would be strippers. It wasn't even on the invitation. This post is really funny to me, mostly because it's not my girlfriend of one year. I'm also not a fan of strippers, but I wouldn't leave a bachelor party due to them either. I'd probably do exactly what he did.

The weirdest thing about childfree is that so many posters are either adult children or over compensate to a ridiculous degree with pets. I'm probably not having kids. So I'm not judging the choice to not have them. But, basing your identity around that and having similar, exaggerated traits seems so odd to me. Some of them seem to just want to differentiate themselves from or feel superior to people who have children. Which is most people. Also odd to me.

This one's different but everything is out in the open pretty early.

quote:

I like to be naked in the comfort of my own home. I have some sensory issues where I cannot tolerant the feeling of some materials, and as kid it was a particular struggle to dress. I guess that carried onto adulthood because I still will be naked at any given opportunity.

Several months ago, my younger sister decided that she no longer wanted to live with my parents. My mom is the kind of parent who can be rather suffocating. She really cares for us but has a habit of nagging etc to the point that you just have to get out of the house.

My mom was devastated when my sister moved out, but my dad figured my sister would miss home soon enough and return.

In the meantime, sister has been living with me. She knew I was a nudist before moving in. She's now decided that it's super weird for me to be naked at home and starts screaming at me any time she sees me naked.

The biggest thing seemed to be when she brought her boyfriend over (the source of most of her fights with our mother) and he saw me cleaning while naked. The important note here is that she didn't tell me he was coming over! Of course I would've dressed had I known!

And yes, I know it's not normal but I pay for my house and support myself and feel that I should be able to come home and relax in the way I see fit.

Sister tells me she won't move back home but also won't stand for me to be naked anymore.

It's assault. Not even joking. It's legally on the same grounds as punching someone in the face or groping them without their consent. If they took him to civil court rather than criminal they could sue him for battery.

It makes sense that it is too, because if I had hair that took more than a month or two to grow I'd rather get punched in the face than have someone cut it off without my consent.

It's called lying by omission to spare your partner's happiness. If OP's husband actually cares about her and considers her feelings important, he wouldn't tell her about some 22 year old girl he wants to bang. There's no reason to do that whatsoever, unless he's an ultra awkward idiot (bingo) or he's a jerk who wants to make her feel inadequate.

There's nothing wrong with harmless crushes. They're healthy, ordinary, and fine as long as you never act on them. But you never tell your partner. Nothing good will ever come of it. Just like a healthy relationship is about active communication, it's equally about not communicating meaningless, hurtful things to your SO for absolutely no reason.

This just seems like a red flag, like the trust and power differential between each spouse is so great they need to draw a chalk line in the ground. At best, it's just redundant.
There are plenty of women I've dated that I would never in a million years share finances with. Heck, if I were gay I only know one or two men that I'd share finances with. And even then, being separate has lots of advantages if you have a decent amount of savings, investments, etc.

With that said, I've never been a dick about money and generally just pay for stuff and will never bring it up or expect anything in return or argue about it or let them stress over it. I'd certainly have a shared account too, and the point wouldn't be to "starve" them of money or control them in any way, but lots of people see money spend money and don't get the longterm management of it very well. Especially when they're dealing with spending small portions of a larger sum.

She tried to screw him out of a grade on a group project, and instead of talking to her crush she just let him think that she had something going on with that guy instead? A whole lot of this seems to be on her. Including still caring about it nine years later.

I'd have a ton more sympathy for vicious rumors and/or her being ostracized. Instead it sounds like she annoyed a petty teenager by trying to be petty over a grade, he talked some poo poo whenever he saw her as people who don't like each other as kids/teens tend to do, and she's blaming her introversion/shortcomings on these events. It's even spilling over into modern day: she can't even talk with him or her boss about it.

I still don't understand why twitch is a thing. Who the hell wants to watch someone else play video games?
It's the same reason tv stations exist in 2016? A never ending stream of content that you can pay attention to while doing other things. And twitch is ad-free with tons of fresh, fun content? While tv stations are reruns, 40% commercials, and don't even have great programming at all hours. On top of that, twitch broadcasters directly interact with viewers and communities form in the chat rooms. To the extent that twitch and discord are the irc of 2016.
