FMguru posted:Solid username. quote:my mom thinks it was too soon and that I’m rubbing the marriage in my sisters face I feel like mom isn't wrong here. "As soon as the divorce was final" marriages aren't known for working out long term. Also, I feel exhausted just trying to imagine explaining the family dynamics to the kids when they are older.

My (35M) gf (35F) tells her coworkers that we are cousinsquote:My gf and I have been together for 6 years. She keeps hinting at wanting to get married and talking about what her wedding will be like someday. UPDATE - My (35M) gf (35F) tells her coworkers that we are cousins quote:There was a lot of good feedback to my question (although some of it was fairly mean). quote:We would say "love you", but looking back now, it was more a friendly thing. Kind of like a "love you guys!"

binge crotching posted:My father in law bought two piglets that they named cutlets and schnitzel, and raised them for a couple of years before having their kids help slaughter and butcher them. Apparently they were named that so the kids wouldn't get too attached. When I was a kid my grandpa had a hobby farm (mostly just chickens) and one day we went to visit and he had two young calves in a pen. One of the calves was blind, but Grandpa put a bell on the other calf so the blind one learned to follow him around. One was red and one was black. They were adorable! We visited all summer and always ran to hang out with the calves first thing. Then in September, right around my birthday, I came home from school to find a huge mound of meat piled on the dining room table. It was (literally) half a cow, skinned and gutted but with hooves still attached so there was a little tuft of distinctive red hair at the ankle. Mom explained that Grandpa knew how much we loved the little blind calf so he made sure our beef came from him. That day I got to learn how to butcher a cow and grind up the offcuts. Anyway, it was horrific to young me and I cried secretly afterward but in the end it was really desensitizing and I have had no difficulty since then with the concept of eating cute animals.

Desert Bus posted:The big problem with milk is that dairy cows are not good for meat and you only get a few gallons of milk for each cow you kill to remove its milk. Even modern dairy cows don't hold that much milk and then you're stuck with a big pile of meat and bones and skin. Sure you can get people to process that, but it's a lot of work and waste for each milked cow. Beachcomber posted:There's no reason that old dairy cows can't be eaten unless they're pumping them full of chemicals, which, like, they shouldn't. They uh, also don't butcher cows to remove their milk. In case you didn't know that.

I took that to mean he did actually change, but it is not explained well. Here is a totally mature, grown-up man: AITA for grounding my daughter for ruining our vacation quote:My husband, daughter (15), step kids (13, 16), and I just came back from a 2 week vacation. What, you expect the adult to control himself? He can't say "no" to a bet, that'd be a sign of weakness! Instead he will just pout dramatically every time he is bested by a child.

Danaru posted:Partner left me put of poker night. I kind of understand why the husband doesn't want OP there. If you have 5 people who are really into poker and one who isn't, it makes for a weird dynamic at the table. Either the newbie is constantly slowing things down with "does a flush beat a straight?" and "How much are the blue chips worth again?" Or they promptly lose all their money and then just sit there awkwardly watching everyone else play. The way to solve it is still not by locking them in the bedroom like a dog though.

atomicdream posted:I'd be pretty pissed if my sister wanted to spend time with my kid instead of their own on Mother's Day. Why does she get dibs on OP's kid on a day meant to celebrate mothers when she has her own kids? I respect that raising two sons with special needs is difficult, but you don't get to hijack someone else's kids because you don't want to celebrate with your own. Not to mention the whole bit about bursting into public tears because her relationship with her own special-needs sons is not "normal.". Auntie is crying out for help that isn't gonna come from playing mommy for a day with a cute toddler.

mllaneza posted:I'ma let the kids have that one. At basketball games you don't have to sit quietly and not stim. I feel sympathy for her having two special needs kids, but to be honest that part had me eyeing her a little askance. She apparently never goes on these outings, not because wrangling the kids is hard, but just because they are "boy" things. Which makes me wonder a) why she can't go fishing just because she lacks a penis, and b) whether they have tried any other more "gender-neutral" family outings like going to the park or something where the boys don't have to sit quietly.

therobit posted:Might be hard for him when literally all of their friends know about his presumably very small penis because his wife could not resist the urge to share embarrassing things about him to her friends for entertainment. He probably doesn’t feel like he can look any of those people in the face again, and anytime he hears his wife laughing with her friends he is going to wonder if it’s about his dick. That probably was not the intent of her sharing their bedroom issues but this is going to hit any insecurities he might have had about his small dick really hard. That is unless it’s just that she has a really big vagina. I actually found this one plausible, because I had a friend in college who told her whole friend group about how her boyfriend's penis was too small so she made him wear a "penis extender." It has been decades and I could not pick that dude out of a lineup but I will always remember the tale of Tiny Tim. (I have no idea what brand it was and never asked.)

Cloacamazing! posted:Alternatively, if you absolutely have no means of communication whatsoever, waiting at the next stop seems like it would be the default option in a healthy relationship. Nah I am with train guy. What if he gets off at the next stop, and then so does she, but they can't find each other in the crowd and they both miss the train? Or she gets off the train to look for him as he's getting on to look for her? It's simpler and therefore better to just proceed to the next prearranged meeting space which was the final destination. E: of course this presupposes they have never had the completely reasonable conversation of "hey if we ever get separated in a crowd we should [x]."
