From the OP: quote:My son has not hurt anyone, he has rear ended a few people, side swiped some parked cars and the final time that totaled the car was he over corrected and hit a tree that was in the middle of the median Also apparently OP is giving both kids cash, and the same amount of cash? Just that they are giving the daughter cash that will be put towards a car down payment, and then buying the son a gaming PC for the same amount as the car down payment for the daughter.

drunk drivers are also allowed to continue driving after multiple convictions, tons of states allow stuff like "hardship exceptions" where you can still drive to work and the grocery store and stuff, it's p hosed up

our company is making us do unreasonable things to accommodate a coworker’s mental health. quote:My coworker, “Casey,” has worked at the same company as me for just over two years. Casey has mental health issues with obsessive-compulsive disorder (self-acknowledged and openly talked about) that have gotten progressively worse as time goes on. Casey is on medication and currently in therapy, but it isn’t enough any more. It has gotten to the point where it’s out of control and affecting the lives of others.

What occurs if the afflicted person sees these things and gets no resolution? Panic attack? Either way, even though the situation is obviously not tenable, I'm kind of glad to see a story of a workplace going too far trying to accommodate someone's mental illness rather than the much more common "tough titties, get back to work" approach.

I (26 M) am divorcing my wife (24 F) but she won't accept it because she doesn't approve of my reasons.quote:I feel like an idiot because i never should have gotten married. I went into this naïve and didn't understand what marriage was. I wish we did some type of counseling or I read up on it. For context my mom and stepdad have a non-traditional relationship. They both hate rules and highly highly value autonomy. I grew up thinking that was what marriage was. You just married the person who made you happiest, but then you could still do whatever you wanted. For example, I accidently found out they have an open relationship, one of his best friends is an ex, and my grandfather hates my stepdad for the pettiest more irrational reasons but my mom still has a relationship with him. I loved my wife, so I figured i should marry her.

Oh, that's really what you are wearing?" or asking to cook my stepdads steak herself because he is picky and my wife wouldn't do it to his standard. Sometimes she would make comments about how we seem joined at the hip and it would be nice to see her son again. My family tends to go hard at each other with humor and my wife would express disapproval even when it wasn't directed at her, so my mom once said she shouldn't be judging someone else's marriage when her own wasn't that great. My mom asked if she didn't trust me and that was why she had to follow me everywhere, but at that point my mom and stepdad were both frustrated about me not being able to see them without her. My wife told my mom that my stepdad doesn't love her because my wife doesn't believe in open marriages and my mom asked if she really wanted to talk about love because i seem depressed. My wife also got offended because my mom wouldn't eat her food but my mom has food sensitivities and my wife said they were "probably fake" and since they weren't allergies she didn't respect them He apparently told his mom to "shut the gently caress up" and she smirked and said "fine." I hate his mom. I hate his wife. I hate his family. I hate this guy. Midnight Voyager fucked around with this message at 08:40 on May 9, 2021 |

Surely this OP was just rushing into a marriage because he thought it would make him happy, right?quote:the one thing I have learned through my family and friends though is how easy it is to get casual sex if you look for it, and you don’t have to be great looking quote:Honestly I thought it was what my mom had minus the outside sex quote:My mom and my dad didn’t really like each other. They also had an open relationship but he was just the guy who paid the bills and had no interest in her outside of his trophy, or me at all. quote:You're right. I considered my step grandmother neutral because she low key hates all of us, especially my mom, quote:I'm really just looking forward to being alone and having Tinder hookups quote:Who is abusing my mom? The dad who thinks she is a princess or her husband who gives her whatever she wants? quote:Yes you can. It is called Tinder, friends with benefits, fuckbuddies. I am promising myself right now that I will never have another girlfriend in the traditional sense quote:My grandfather sometimes follows my mom in the house to try to assert dominance quote:Also it doesn't matter because my mom's behavior sucked but it only started when my mom found out that I wasn't allowed to see her without my wife quote:she never said anything before we got married. She told me after she didn't think she had the right to try to change us when she was just the girlfriend. quote:My mom always taught me to put myself first and never sacrafice things that were important to me and that made sense, so I ran with it. My mom doesn't believe in monogamy but literally everyone else just cheats. quote:She said if I really loved her I would want to never see my mom again Everything else aside, this was a loving roadmap to disaster, with "raised by polycule" mom and "get a ring then I own you" wife it's just insane that OP is so unaware that those aren't binary options.

I am mostly baffled by his twin conclusions that "my parents have a non-traditional marriage" and "non-traditional marriages do not exist." I know it is sometimes easier to connect the dots as a third party just reading a summary of someone else's life story, but come the gently caress on.

I know it is sometimes easier to connect the dots as a third party just reading a summary of someone else's life story, but come the gently caress on. When he's getting abused from all angles his barometer is off. If he's being accurate his GF was completely okay with everything until the day they got married and then begin demanding he make a ton of changes. It's not uncommon in these posts to see a "now we're married get rid of your hobbies/friends" from someone who is either controlling or has a very specific idea of marriage and responds to push-back with screaming and ultimatums.

It really sounds like he's grown up in a weird and abusive environment with poor boundaries and given actively unhelpful instruction as his only guidance.pentyne posted:When he's getting abused from all angles his barometer is off. 'I can change him once we're married' seems to be one of those cliches that really, really need to die. Looks like both have no concept of having an honest conversation about their relationship and what it means to them. The general idea that marriage is an automatic mode switch to the brain that turns a man into A Husband and a woman into A Wife.

Where is he saying non-traditional marriages don't exist exist? His wife clearly wants one though, so their mere existence solves nothing. She's also seemingly abusively controlling though so uh, even if she was okay with a non-traditional marriage he should probably divorce her.

A semi-oldie but a goodie. This dude should get together with the chick who was forced into birth and then gave up all of her parental rights and the dad was pissed because she took him at his word and wouldn't bond with her child. AITA for wanting to see my son? quote:I (30M) had a girlfriend in college who got pregnant when she was 19 and I was 20. I freaked out and (wrongly) blamed her for everything, and said there was no way I wanted to be a dad. I said I would take no part in anything, wouldn’t sign the birth certificate and wouldn’t pay child support. My dad said I’d have to sign my rights away or she could take me to court for a paternity test and child support anyway. So I told her I was going to do that, and she didn’t fight me.

Maybe I'm reading a bit much into his "I'm done with romantic relationships; it's only fuckbuddies for me from now on" comments. Fair points all around on the complete absence of healthy relationship dynamics in his life all around. I wonder what his friend circle is like? He doesn't come off as super isolated, but also doesn't mention anyone outside of his family.

Why are they so.important? What does the company do when they have visitors that aren't aware of the stupid rules? Also, bus stops are generally public, how do they enforce their rules on people they don't employ? How many people say "gently caress this poo poo, I'm out?" Both long term employees and their replacements. I smell clickbait. But, assuming this is true, gently caress these people.

When I was looking for a roommate in college, I came across an ad where a guy wanted a female roommate who he'd pay all the rent for and do all the chores and he insisted she wouldn't even have to sleep with him. I'm guessing that was some findom thing, at the time it just sounded really creepy to me and I looked elsewhere. That guy and the one who wrote in his ad that he needed a big enough room to make half of it into a terrarium for his anaconda have stuck in my memory.

I went through the disability training for my work, and while that's in the UK the law was that we needed to make "reasonable" allocations for someone's disability. Where reasonable lies is up for debate and sometimes needs to be tested in courts, but this is so far outside of that it's absurd.
