Her BF was bringing her food and stuff for 2 years before thinking to call the cops on her.

feedmegin posted:In Europe, I regret to inform you, big supermarkets are also very normal. They exist but I don't think they are as widespread as they are in US suburbia? I live in walking distance of three supermarkets (5-15 minutes) and at least one of them is quite big (to my norms, at least), yet there are also still bakeries, butchers, flower shops operating in the area. The kind of mega-Walmart type complexes also exist but they are quite rare, usually one, I would say, per 150,000 people. I was in America only once and I of regret not visiting one, I mostly stuck to the center of Chicago where most shops (even if they were all chains, like Walgreens, Whole Foods, Borders, etc.) seemed to be on par with the sizes of supermarkets I'm used to myself. The biggest store I visited was Macy's, but that's one of those classic stores where I think "wow, these guys have everything, except they have nothing I could picture wanting." The typical grocery shop from when I was little has really disappeared though, and mostly been replaced by very small day/night shops that offer stuff you'd associate more with newspaper kiosks or gas station convenience stores.

What was that other story about an obnoxious spouse interrupting Zoom meetings? I think it involved the OP failing some sort of test because their spouse was banging on the door demanding attention.

ScienceSeagull posted:What was that other story about an obnoxious spouse interrupting Zoom meetings? I think it involved the OP failing some sort of test because their spouse was banging on the door demanding attention. I vaguely recall this one but I can't remember the details. I want to say there was a happier ending where they actually talked about it and the spouse admitted they knew it was immature but they were having trouble adjusting to being at home all the time and having basically no social interaction. The wife in the teacher zoom post has got to be one of the most obnoxious people encountered in these threads. The best case scenario is that she's just mindblowingly immature to an absolutely insane degree, even accounting for her age. Worst case, she's got actual mental issues but that guy has already found out you can't really force people to listen or get help if their illness only results in them being really loving annoying rather than a danger to themselves or others. He seemed to not really get how huge of a problem this is though, regardless of why it's happening. Makes me think he probably knew he married a womanchild but he hasn't had to deal with her behavior full-time until now.

Especially if it has a good video card. Yeah, this is what she should really do. "Gamer" versions of normal things always seem to be marked way the hell up, so she could probably make bank just on those, not even mentioning the video card. It will also result in more tears from the gamer husband, she's just got to make sure he doesn't get his hands on them first though.

AITA for paying for my married daughters birth control?quote:My daughter (25 f) is married to (27M.) My Daughter came to me before she got married and asked if she could stay on our health insurance? 2 yrs ago. I said yes, her dad and I wanted to keep her on it until she graduates from collage. In the event she needed it. She has some sensitivity issues. So she uses a name brand birth control it’s the only kind we know of that she doesn’t break out in rashes with. Her husband is on his parents health care. Same thing he is going to collage full time. Both live in our guest house. So here is the problem. W T F. I hope she tells her daughter asap because this fucker is gonna flush her pills or some poo poo.

AITA for buying a camera to “spy on my mother”? (edited to add paragraphs)quote:F(15) Lately, I’ve noticed cash going missing from my room on a weekly basis. Usually in increments of $20 to $50. If it were a few odd dollar bills here and there, I would be fine with it. However, I work two jobs to make my own money. I plan to purchase a car the day I turn 16. If it’s in my room, there’s no excuse for it going missing.

AITA for embarrassing my ex-husband in front of his employees?quote:We divorced because my ex didn’t believe our son was his. I didn’t get anything in the divorce because he was being nasty and I was just distraught and wanted it all to be over. His sister stayed in contact with me because unlike everyone else, she believed our son was his. Earlier this year, she told me my ex was going to contact me for a paternity test because she had shown him a picture of our son and now he was starting to doubt himself. I will be 100% honest and say I didn’t want to agree to the test but I know how my ex is and I knew it was better for me to agree than to try to fight him on it. Sure I accused you of cheating, divorced you, and left you as a single parent without any child support, but have you considered ?

Hughlander posted:AITA for embarrassing my ex-husband in front of his employees? So... he didn't believe the kid was his, so they divorced, and then some amount of time later he realizes paternity tests are a thing and asks for one? Or what happened there? Is this one of the situations where he demanded a paternity test and everything blew up from the accusation of infidelity, and now she's just giving in to shut him up?

Is this one of the situations where he demanded a paternity test and everything blew up from the accusation of infidelity, and now she's just giving in to shut him up? There's been several posts here where the guy leaves because they're supposedly convinced the kid isn't theirs but they also never get a paternity test done. I figured it was something where the dude wanted an excuse to ditch the wife and kids and settled on that as the best option because they can just blame the other person. But they don't want to get a paternity test because what if the kid really is theirs? Better to just leave it up in the air so no one can prove them wrong. I don't know why this guy changed his mind, maybe it got too hard for him to ignore, especially since OP's still in contact with his family.

My guess is that he accused of her cheating when she revealed she was pregnant without even bringing up a test, she realized that even confirming it wouldn't change the fact that he's a lovely person, and they divorced. Then years later he realized maybe the son was his and she went along with the paternity test because he would keep harassing her otherwise.

Let the Thanksgiving stories flow. My boyfriend (31M) just thought to mentioned that he’s decided to travel with his friends for Thanksgiving, leaving me (31F) to scramble last minute plans. quote:We’ve been dating since September 2019. The first year I traveled with my family for thanksgiving, he went snowmobiling with his friends. I didn’t think anything of that because we had just started dating. I spent Christmas with my parent—they live across the country. He spent Christmas skiing with his friends. My boyfriend (34m) says there will be serious consequences if I (36f) cancel an early Thanksgiving dinner with his friends because of my severe anxiety quote:My boyfriend and I have been dating for 8 months. Since his friends all live in different places, I thought it might be a nice idea to invite all of them for an early thanksgiving dinner, in order for me to meet them.
