This feels like a haggling tactic that doesn’t translate to relationships. He pitches marriage knowing it’s never going to happen, but it makes a date seem a reasonable middle ground. The trouble is OOP isn’t buying what he’s selling
Also gone from any recovery site I’m aware of. Guess it’s for the best but man it sounds like a fun read 😕
I’m surprised it isn’t mentioned whether Jay is called Dad by the kid. Feels to me like Grandma and Grandpa are only appropriate if Jay is Dad (and a conversation is had about it)
I have a colleague who is trying hard to do it, but it isn’t good enough yet fortunately. I point out as many issues as I can to deter him but it ain’t working.
The money that could be spent on it is currently being put into savings accounts for ALL children’s college/future funds. Funds which I am the only parent to put money into… but again, I don’t care about or value my SKs
Unrelated to the specifics of this post, I hate when OOPs get snarky about information that wasn’t in the original post
OK OOP needs to frame this properly in her head. The reality is that she IS jealous, but the ex is missing the point. The jealousy is secondary, a symptom of how ex is building this shadow for OOP to live in.
Like I could happily come second in a race. I might feel a little bad about it for a while but I would be fine. The issue would be if people were constantly talking about whoever came in first, either implicitly or explicitly telling me I’m not as good as them.
I had originally planned to get an abortion, but I found myself unable to go through with the appointment. My parents were very upset with me and my whole family disowned me.
And now her family face the consequences of throwing away OOP. She and her son are a package deal
He’s an AH, clearly uncomfortable with the friend and trying to find any excuse to get him out of the wedding. She’s a steamroller who cares more about her wedding than her marriage
I feel like this could have been solved much sooner with an extra clothes horse…
Yeah it sucks that Laura is going through this but I don’t blame husband. Mom did some horrific shit to bring Laura into the world and MIL is throwing fuel on the fire. She’d be better off if it was just her and mom; then she wouldn’t have these expectations.
I know most of you will probably roll your eyes and say I’m being a push-over
Yyyyyyyyep
Maybe should have looked up how to remix the story to avoid the software.
Guarantee she’d take the low effort route of using AI to rewrite it, which the software can probably also detect (and the lecturer could tell by reading it themselves)
I get where the parents are coming from, teach the value of money, experience adult stuff like paying rent, having a job etc.
They said they didn’t realize how I felt for those four years. My mom cried and said she was very sorry that I felt like they didn’t care about me.
But what’s the point in teaching this lesson if you aren’t getting feedback on it? If they aren’t checking in then maybe they don’t actually care. OOP probably right that they wanted to show off with the cheque at the party.
No thank you, I don’t want to imagine this please
Maybe there’s something significant about the dates but OOP has been away for the last two weeks - why did boyfriend choose the date he was supposed to pick her up from the airport to disappear like this? He had two weeks to go visit this spot without causing a stir, or could have gone the next day and said to OOP he’d be gone for a bit even if he didn’t want to fully explain it
I don’t understand the YTAs here. The massage thing is symptomatic of a bigger problem that the wife doesn’t care about her husband. She wants her family and she wants someone there to help with chores and give her massages.
I have so many questions for the mother. Why do this in the first place? What is the significance of this cemetery / grave? Did the daughter have some connection to it? Did she ask for her ashes to be spread here? Why was it all secret?
Definitely asshole move to sleep with Evan’s ex, especially since he seemed to do it out of spite. 5 years is more than long enough to get over it though since he seems remorseful. Glad Justin came around at the end too, weddings do be stressful and he wasn’t thinking right about this
Tables if you want very specific layouts for lots of discrete items.
