My (25M) mom wants my wife (25F) to use my last name for her PhD


I dated a girl with a PhD for a while, and in addition to just being easier for people to appreciate your whole publication history if you don't change names partway through it, when you do change names it also apparently dredges up a lot of latent sexism where people will realize you're married and be more reluctant to help you develop your career because naturally as a married woman you'll be prioritizing the babies you're going to have soon, won't be able to leave them behind to go traipsing through the jungle in Borneo or wherever, etc. She made very clear from the outset that if we ever got married she'd be keeping her name as-is.

Husband's teeth have been confiscated by dentist.

comment from op

I honestly don't know enough about the experience of getting dentures to have any idea who's being unreasonable here. Like, do you always need to kind break them/your gums in and he won't accept this and demands an impossible perfection? Or are they just wrong and the dentist hosed up and is going "nah, fixing it sounds hard, gently caress off"?

I'm leaning dentist because a refund is being issued (if that's not just a lie, I guess: unscrupulous businesses certainly claim a refund "is coming soon" to make you go away for a while).

A lot of those filters are supported by services that boil down to some people trying to view all the porn in the world and list its URLs, so he may just be slightly exaggerating and his mom found has an extra insane filter that includes a lot of celebrities' names or something? But yeah, if we take it at face value what he's describing would require a dedicated server farm to scan and categorize every single image that gets loaded through HTTP and really is not technically plausible.

There's also the weird line about trying to keep his son from worrying about 'the destruction of the world' that made me think OP is constantly preaching about how climate change is just God's will or some bullshit, but it's all very hard to parse.

He means spiritual destruction by the world, but as noted he is either not a native English speaker or has the linguistic intelligence of a five year old and cannot express ideas coherently.

This person's writing just screams "I'm dumb as hell". Not even the terrible English, but the complete inability to identify useful details or create any theory of what might be happening in this girl's brain. Why do you have additional secret Instagram accounts to stalk her? Why has she blocked your main? What was the story? What happened in the half a year between you punching a loving coworker and the rest of this story?

It’s not r/relationships, but I’m in several facebook groups where (usually) women talk about how to “bridge the gap” of household inequality. It’s an endless litany of women discussing their husbands’ weaponized incompetence, refusal to do even the minimum to help out, total absence from their children’s lives, etc. loving depressing and at least once per day there’s a horrible story of abuse that ends with somebody posting DV resources. Turns out that guys who expect women to do all the work get verbally and even physically violent when the bangmaid asks for help.

But sometimes you get some WILD poo poo.

I absolutely do not believe this. Every employment contract I've ever had has been 'no outside work' let alone another fulltime job.

Nah, I have a coworker who puts in all his hours early morning and late night because he has a day job. I don't know how he lives like that, but management definitely knows he's collecting a different paycheck for a different full-time job and doesn't care because he gets his work done and we run on flexible hours anyway.

The cow ran away, it happens and people playing loud music in cars during evenings/nights can go gently caress themself, no matter what kind of music it is.

At 9pm? When there are acres of land between you and the music? And their parents who did nothing and have been nice to you for years can also go gently caress themselves homeless because you've utterly destroyed the livability of their house?

The kid is annoying but this is such ludicrous overkill in response that I'd be considering actual crimes against the farmers in their place.
