Outrail posted:Psych ward? That sounds pretty serious and.. wait hang on a seco... fifth wheel ok lets just focus on one thing at a time..... horses?? Why the gently caress are there horses not jesus christ what a mess. When I checked it, there were no comments, and with a lot of missing information, there's a few possibilities 1) dude preyed on the woman financially, committed her twice in some attempt to try and have grounds for an annulment, evil plot to keep these assets by showing 'well, she's mentally unfit!' 2) She is having a complete psychotic break and there are no horses and this whole thing is a result of delusions/persecution complex and the husband realized belatedly he signed up for zero of this 3) both are true and it's a garbage person preying on a mentally unwell woman This is just bananas, but at the same time, a friend of my boyfriend posts long disjointed posts on FB at times; completely out of touch with actual reality. The latest was that everyone was keeping 'something' from him that happened in CO and erased all evidence to gently caress with him, he knew the grim reaper was real because he had seen 'him', and that he KNOWS he isn't 'schizophrenic or anything' he has 'psychokinesis'. So, horrible controlling gaslighting, or someone losing all touch with reality? Choose your own adventure! (I really want to see updates/comments on that thread)

I would stay at my parents but I don’t want them to get hurt. I left the shelter and am now at a hotel. I’ve withdrawn as much as I could from our accounts and loaded it onto a prepaid card. Running low on funds but have the hotel until Monday Christ girl, call the loving police.

Admiral Ray posted:The story behind your relationship would be great to. A friend's aunt I knew supported her POS husband for their entire relationship, and when she got diagnosed with cancer he said something along the lines of 'I can't do this anymore' and hosed off. Luckily she was really close with her brother's family, they supported her, took her in when her health declined and took care of all her end of life care. She had divorced the husband years before and cut him out of the will IIRC. Though from what I was told, at the funeral, he turned up crying and carrying on and like, practically throwing himself onto the casket. Sounds like a great time.

Milotic posted:A cheery story for the bank holiday Monday: I read the comments section on this one, the OP mentions that his grandmother tried to contact him via letters when he was younger, but they stopped after a point as he never responded. Saying they came from a different time where the man 'took the lead' sounds like granddad may have been a lovely controlling husband, and now that he's finally dead, she can try again to make contact. (I'm saying it's a possibility based on his mention of their different behaviors at the funeral) However, the OP had a lot to deal with growing up, especially rejection by his only living relatives) so he has every right to decide to not respond to the letter.

sleepwalkers posted:My dad was born in '47 and witnessed the Detroit riots firsthand yet still didn't end up in a situation where he'd ever consciously make the choice to leave their grandchild's future up to chance because of the color of their skin. "Oh but they're olds" doesn't really work when we're talking about being disowned in 1989. This is why it's hard to speculate on some of these threads and have people arguing about 'gently caress that old hag! vs. do what is best for yourself'. All we have to go by is OP's original post and follow up comments. Considering there have been stories from that subreddit about people's parents in TYOOL 2017 threatening to disown their child for dating a black man, and many more wondering what to do regarding a lovely controlling partner, I think some of us responding to that story are more curious than anything what the actual deal with the grandma's situation was.

Total Meatlove posted:Usually an extended essay that can form one of the required modules of many to achieve a full degree. I can’t remember how long they normally are - 15k words? It’s more than possible that the dissertation is finished but they’re awaiting exam results. Okay, that makes sense. I'm used to the terminology in the US where a thesis is for MA students (and I guess some BAs?) and dissertation is the last part of a PhD where they tell you then and there after the defense if you passed or not.

Such as 'we're expecting a baby and my BF spends $600 on soda and cigarettes' and 'I hope my baby is stillborn'. All (non OP) parties sound horrible, and given the comments she's made, it sounds like a messed up home life growing up led her to roll over repeatedly to pressure/emotional bullying rather than telling all other parties to gently caress off while she makes decisions on what's best for her/the baby.

If someone doesn't pull over when you have to go to the bathroom and ask multiple times they deserve pissed seats.

I don't understand this love language poo poo. Is it just some dumbass way of going 'I express affection by doing X'? There was one I saw recently where a woman was asking how to get her husband to quit groping her inappropriately, like grabbing her breasts while trying to cook dinner, putting his hand up her skirt in public, etc. and some dumb turd was longposting 'that's just his love language! So what if he's trying to finger you in the grocery store?!'

I dunno like it just seems like an exceptionally dumb idea for a prank or something and it seems so obvious to me that she should have gotten him a normal gift alongside the gag if she really wanted to do the gag. I dunno man, if this thread has taught me anything it's that people are just terrible at gift-giving. Then again my first serious boyfriend didn't get me anything for our first anniversary because he 'didn't know it was that kinda holiday' and another one didn't buy me anything because 'he didn't know what I'd want'. People are just real dumb, I guess is what I'm getting at. Or maybe people just don't want to give me gifts.

ArbitraryC posted:Yeah I mean gift giving can be hard but imo it's better to try and fail than it is to us to give up. Like yeah I can think of stuff I've given or received that was considerate but still missed the mark, but like the idea/effort still feels nice and counts a long way. One of the most stone-cold things someone ever did to me was re-gift me the Christmas present I had bought her four months later as a birthday present. Her reasoning was 'well, you bought it, so I thought you liked it'. Like, poo poo, just put that at the back of a shelf and forget about it. I have a friend that thinks I'm in love with Nightmare Before Christmas when I went through a goth phase at 13, I just accept the gifts and move on.

Even if it would only hurt as much as, say, a paintball gun hit, I can understand someone with a phobia of guns wanting her clearly abusive BF to lock it up, even if only for peace of mind. I'd imagine if she stuck around/got the dog it would only be a matter of time before he starts waving it around and taking potshots at her or the dog with BB pellets for minor misdeeds.

flick my Mr. Bean posted:Me [29 M] with my wife [28 F] married 4 months, together 3 years, she has become increasingly irrational while dealing with alcoholism about us living in my parents' home with no timeline for moving out. That thread only has three comments, but leave it up to someone on reddit quote:[–]CheddarWax 1 point 1 day ago Welp, there you have it. Clearly she is just drinking in secret rather than, oh, I dunno, dealing with the whole getting sober thing, and possibly realizing they're co-dependant enablers and realizing she needs to sort her own poo poo out? That couple sounds like they were in a relationship based on getting high/drinking and take part of that equation out (coupled with living at his parents' house), she's probably seriously re-evaluating things. Plus, dealing with alcoholism is hard, especially once a person has taken a long, hard look at themselves and finally, finally made that decision.

Depending on the age of the baby (I'm guessing only a few months), she's probably still all hormonal aside from sleep-deprived, and had to just calm down her baby after that ding-dong woke him up. Like, my dad said that not too long after my older brother was born, my mom's parents came to visit. Next thing he knew, my mother, who rarely raised her voice and practically never cursed, was screaming at the top of her lungs and telling her mother to get the gently caress out of their house etc. Apparently her hormones )and likely some comment from her mother she didn't like) pretty much turned her into the Hulk.

Hey, remember the saga of the guy that got ash on the bed and ruined the mattress trying to clean it then just ubered the gently caress out of there? We have an update!!!!! [UPDATE] Fiance[24M] went to great lengths to hide spilled ash at my parent's house. In the process, he ruined a mattress and got an Uber without telling anyone quote:Well. Some of you guys called it. My fiance finally came over to discuss what happened. He broke down and told me that he got diarrhea all over the bed and was trying to remove it from the mattress. He'd taken a bunch of laxatives earlier and was experiencing stomach pains so he decided to smoke. Then he was apparently so high that he didn't realize he was making GBS threads until he sat up.

My boyfriend says you can re-smoke the residue after vaping it. While making GBS threads the bed was funny, the rest of the update went super-depressing. From the mention of taking multiple laxatives, and the vague reference to 'more than just weed' in his stash making him get violent with her, I'm guessing dude is hooked on opiates.
