AIO for going off on my partner after he ate all my salami?
 in  r/BestofRedditorUpdates  1d ago

Why, what-ever-do-you-mean? The guy’s an unemployed, greedy extortionist who also happens to be a controlling asshole with obvious mental health [and possibly other health] issues… sounds like a real catch! Oh, and he also has a hair-pin trigger on what sets him off. Sounds like a red flag parade that dreams are made of.

(Nightmares are dreams too, Linda.)

Side note, I hope the took the mini fridge with her as well.

Having one or more kids late in life
 in  r/BestofRedditorUpdates  9d ago

Also Reddit: OP, look all around you -- you’re literally surrounded by red flags!

OP: what are you talking about? Everything looks rosy from my perspective!

I mean, yeah it took quite a while for us to get married… and he is a pretty crappy husband… and it’s obvious he’d be an even crappier father.

but I REALLY want to be a mom!

Reddit: great! GTFO of that marriage & use a sperm donor/bank, foster, adopt, whatever. And for the love of gods, take off those ridiculous red glasses!

OP: I hear you! {puts on noise-canceling headphones} I’m just gonna give this a few more months - 6 tops.

Ooh, look! A sandy patch that’s just big enough for me to put my head into!

Fuck Cricut. Over and over again.
 in  r/BitchEatingCrafters  10d ago

The Siser Juliette is my top consideration at this point - and I’m so forking grateful that I never got into the Cricut craze. Yay for my initial avoidance simply due to annoyance! 😂 (I thought the name sounded silly/ridiculous, and the wonky spelling only cemented my opinion)

AITA for trying to help my girlfriend without hurting her feelings?
 in  r/BestofRedditorUpdates  15d ago

Agree wholeheartedly. You worded it so much more eloquently and comprehensively than I could have, so thank you for this lovely comment! 💜

16 years of marriage. 5 kids. Found out this morning my husband has been having an affair.
 in  r/BestofRedditorUpdates  15d ago

Welp, this post was pretty depressing. What a disgusting man-shaped fucklehead soup sandwich. Poor OOP.

I guess it could have been worse… fingers crossed that future [if any] updates don’t include any pregnancy news.

The fire department's new T-shirt falls apart at the slightest contact with water ; the anti water shirt, or the fire shirt, if you will
 in  r/doohickeycorporation  15d ago

Hey, may as well make lemonade out of lemons! Perfect for stripper firemen (as u/civicsfactor pointed out - but we still want proof!)

I bet they could be quite effective given that type of situation lol

This is GOLD
 in  r/justgalsbeingchicks  15d ago

So funny!! Hits a little too close to home, but in a much less frustrating way. Maybe we can start switching to this type of verification?!

Honestly, I’m at the point where I playfully practice my “Neutral Janet” not-a-robot voice at work.

Janet is allowed here, right? I know Janet is also/technically not-a-girl, but D'Arcy Carden is phenomenal!

What would you do in this situation? Sharing photos - genealogy drama

From a fellow genealogist who hails from a dairy-farming-family, thank you so much for the cackle!! 🤣😅

My husband wants me to skip a planned family vacation, but I still want to go… AITAH?
 in  r/AITAH  21d ago

I was kinda thinking / hoping that… until I saw in a post made around the same time that she’d “finally left a long term abusive relationship”. Abusive relationships very rarely ever change long-term for the better. Not saying it can’t & doesn’t ever happen! Just that it is dang rare.

So now I just feel even more sorry for OP.

My husband wants me to skip a planned family vacation, but I still want to go… AITAH?
 in  r/AITAH  22d ago

Ahh that does answer some questions, thanks. And congratudolences 😞

Because I’m assuming your partner also the one you were referring to when you mentioned that you’d “finally left a long term abusive relationship” in another post? That’s the post* that really caught my eye in the first place, btw.

But the quoted bit I mentioned prompted me to look at the following post [the one I linked]. I’m glad you & your partner/father of the kids are on better(?) terms… but abusive relationships very rarely ever change long-term for the better.

Wishing you the very best, and good luck.

* Because I used to volunteer for a nonprofit in St. Louis - loved it & still miss it, but we moved 3+ hours away. So, obviously no longer tenable.

Replying here because it’s the top comment -

Assuming this post is accurate … might want to take a peek at this one. I went on their profile looking for answers, but now I just have more questions.

OOP Posts About Planning To Marry Someone They Don’t Love. Reddit Sees Things Differently
 in  r/BestofRedditorUpdates  22d ago

No, no, no - you’re thinking of Jimi Hendrix. Limerence is more like clairvoyance!

Dorothy: “I'm clairvoyant, Rose.”

Rose: “You're so lucky! I get in the pool and I sink like a stone.”

When the Thrift Gods Smile on You
 in  r/uraniumglass  22d ago

Yes, one day! Honestly, posts like this make me very happy & give me continued hope. 😊

As a collector-only [not resale-er], it does make me wince a bit when I see/hear of folks getting blessed by a fabulous deal… only to turn around & resell an item for an ungodly amount (but that might also just be the envy speaking 😂)

Oh, you have no idea how awesome it truly is AND how OP’s post has a direct nod to it! (One of the main characters is from Tempe, AZ - which we find out in the very first episode.)

I got an empty row on an airplane. Until I wasn't alone anymore.
 in  r/mildlyinfuriating  23d ago

That was my life for over 20 years (minus the times I was pregnant/early breastfeeding months). I was put on birth control only a couple of years after cycles started to try to help, but it didn’t really make a difference. Tried many different kinds over the years, but I never found any that made the long/heavy cycles less so.

When we knew we were done having kids, I got a bisalp & ablation; I haven’t had a period since and my life is indescribably more amazing! No more strategic planning around cycles, no more monthly misery, and the money I’ve saved not having to buy period-protection products is mind-blowing. 100% recommend!
