Really having to try hard right now to not say gently caress it and just go fishing for a couple hours to avoid dealing with anyone.

In laws have been cunts forever, but now they're being somewhat nicer while somehow being even more cunty. God drat I wish my wife would just tell them how she actually feels vs trying her hardest not to offend, because this poo poo is loving ridiculous.

We now own a terrible puppy


He did amazing on the ~14 hour car ride from WI to TN. But downside of him sleeping most of the day was crying all night...my sleep tracker says I got 1.5 hours of sleep. We have a new setup for him that he seems to like so we're hoping for an improvement tonight. He filled out a LOT in the last week, looking like he'll be in the 100lb club.


We picked up a Nissan Sentra rental for the drive instead of putting miles on our stuff. Not a terrible little car overall. Averaged 36mpg, XM radio was really nice and it didn't gently caress up our backs like my VW would have over that many miles.

Talk to your wife and ask her how she wants to play it. Are they both bad, or is it a case of one being the prime issue and the other just letting them get on with it?

That's when it becomes time to set up a dry fog bug bomb in the attic. Never hurts and should be done once every other year or so anyway.

If you're going to have an adorable 100lb+ dog, you shouldn't let it jump on folks. Dog will still be super happy to see everyone, it just won't jump on them and then people will compliment you on what a good dog you have.

I told my parents to gently caress off and it was liberating, would recommend.

Neither of us can stand dogs that jump so that'll be one of the big things we train. He starts puppy kindergarten in two weeks followed by elementary and lots of training from us. Hoping to have a very well mannered monster dog

Both of them.

Tldr, they were horrifically abusive physically and mentally (she has PTSD from it and a few other more serious issues, her sister is 27 and still lives at home and isn't even close to a functioning person much less adult due to it), then found religion. So now they're still both mentally abusive, and her dad is pretty loving unhinged, but they can pray everything away so nothing matters unless it comes from church.

Basically they're extraordinarily weak people who think they're holier than thou, but my wife still has that poo poo so deep about disappointing them or her grandmother that she'll never say or do anything against them.

The day I never have to set foot in their house again will be wonderful. Or the day I punch her dad in his loving mouth, if for no other reason than his past treatment of my wife and his utter lack of loving guilt or admittance of it.

But they found god so it's all loving good, no need to own up to anything in life or even act like a half decent person.

Eh, she knows how I feel.

They all couch feelings and emotion and avoid anything that will rock the boat, versus getting anything out in the open and dealing with it honestly.

My wife took YEARS to get out of the habit. But her family just...runs with it, and always pretends like nothong is ever wrong or has ever been wrong. I actually had a super long talk with her grandmother about it about a month ago, and was dead honest with her. She echoed my feelings about so much, then goes "but, that's how it is..."

No! That's how it is because you loving LET it be that way.

I will never understand when people make themselves absolutely loving miserable or ignore and forgive heinous poo poo, just because someone else is okay with it or puts up with it. Blood isn't a guarantee of a bond, it's a coincidence.

If your wife hasn't been to a therapist on a regular basis she should be. It took over a year of therapy for me to realize I didn't really have a relationship with my parents and didn't need them in my life. I feel for her because I was brought up the same way, but everything is cool now because she's an adult and should forget about those things right? You're right, family does not equal obligation, she just has to come to that realization on her own.

(and can't post for 11 years!)

Spent the weekend at GF's (was supposed to just be an overnight trip, but you know how that goes).

Discovered her cats can be serious dicks when she's not around (she goes to work at 4:30am, I don't wake up until ~10-11am). Also, they're in the bedroom when she's not home, due to them liking to chew on poo poo.

One cat decided to sing the song of her people while balancing herself on the top of the toilet (thus, slamming the porcelain lid back and forth) in the attached bathroom. The other kept jumping on my shoulders when I'd get up to see why his sister was yodeling. :sigh: I'm used to him doing that now and then, but he normally gets the idea of "hey, get the gently caress off of me" when you pick him up from your shoulders and put him back down. Nah, he jumped back up 3 times. :fuckoff:

Yodelcat seems to have serious separation anxiety. Her brother is just a dick.

Not sure why these cats are so ill-mannered - her other cats have always been well behaved. She's had this pair since they were ~3 months old.
