claws for alarm
I (F, 32) think my husband (M, 34) did a brokeback mountain

quote:

I have known my husband for 7 years and we've been married for 4.

Last Friday, we were leaving the store when a strange man calls my husbands name and they hug like long lost friends. Then my husband goes off with this man and sends me home on my own. Then text that he won't be home that night and then the next night (He doesn't even pick up my calls). On Sunday morning, he returns around 11 and goes straight to bed.

When he wakes, I try to explain how upset I was for getting ghosted for 2 days and he's apologetic. Says its his best friend from childhood, they lost touch when he moved away from home and they had so much to catch up on. He even invites this man for dinner that night.

7 years and this is the first I'm hearing of this particular friend. Hubby says he has mentioned him before which I'm sure is a lie because this friend has a VERY unique name. Hubby starts to say its because I never listen to him. Which is not true.

Dinner with this "friend" is weird for me because this friend evades most my question but keeps probing about me, where I grew up, how I met hubby, where I went to school. All I could gather from him is that he's unmarried and is a banking executive in Tokyo and speaks multiple languages. But my hubby seems to be having the time of his life.

When "friend" is leaving, he gifts hubby a knife. It's weird enough that their hugs last too long, now he's giving my husband a knife as a gift?

I try to tell my husband how weird this all makes me feel but it's like he's shutting me out. He says they were best friends and they have history but got mad when I suggested that maybe they had sexual history too. And it's like he doesn't get why I'm offended that he left me in the store for an old "friend". Who you happened to see by "chance" after so many years. And neither of them clear out why he's here for the weekend.

First, he kept saying "Sorry but" then he made a date night on Wednesday and seemed truly apologetic but I can't help but feel like he's doing this to shut me up and I don't want to be a nag. But all week I've not been able to get it out of my head that he cheated on me last weekend with a man.

Am I reading too much to nothing? I have a feeling there's more to this? I feel like it'd be better for both of us if he opens up to me. Would it not be better to lie to me than give me vague non-answers?

It's making me rethink my whole marriage. I don't want him to lie but I want him to say something. What do I do?

Boyfriend (M 27) decided that he is moving back to his parents house and expects me (F 29) to pay half of our lease buyout and come with him

quote:

My boyfriend and I have been dating a little over a year and we moved in together around New Years. We moved into a one bedroom unit in the apartment complex I’ve lived at for the last four years with my previous roommates. They still live here and we are all on great terms. We are only a few doors down from them. My boyfriend was the one who suggested staying at this apartment complex because he used to stay over at my old place almost every night and liked how quiet and clean the place is.

Last night one of our long time neighbors had a loud gathering that went until 1 am. In the four years I’ve lived here, these neighbors had one other loud gathering about a year ago. They got a noise complaint and shut it down immediately. My boyfriend was there when it happened so he was aware.

He was annoyed because they were keeping him awake last night and without discussion he told me that he has a zero tolerance policy for stuff like this happening, and that he is too busy and stressed at work to be tired all day and doesn’t want to wait for it to happen again. He decided that he is moving back in with his parents because this never happens in their neighborhood. He also told me that he would like me to come with him. His parents live in a small house with 2 of his siblings and they all share one bathroom so I really don’t want to live there. Plus we have a lot of furniture we just purchased that I don’t want to get rid of. He told me this is non negotiable and I can either pay half the lease buyout fee (it’s $6000, so paying half would drain a large portion of my savings), or find a roommate to live with me and stay at our place. I can’t afford the place on my own but it’s a 1 bedroom so I’m not crazy about the idea of finding a roommate.

How can I try to convince him this is unreasonable? I’ve stayed very calm and explained that we can put in a complaint and that this almost never happens but he keeps saying once is enough and he’s done. I do feel for him and I was frustrated too, but these neighbors rarely cause a stir and I guess I am willing to live with that.

Tl;Dr Neighbors had a loud party and now my boyfriend wants to break the lease and move out.

Jesus, talk about an insanely petty hair trigger idiot.

E:Oh, it’s only the end of February, they’ve been living together for two months. He’s been looking for an excuse to run back to mommy and daddy’s house and jumped on it.

AITA for telling my “brother” if his kids go hungry that’s his problem not mine

quote:

Throwaway My English is a work in progress so just a warning

I’ll call my “brother” mike and my ex Tammy

10 years ago my than fiancé left me at the alter (most humiliating thing I’ve ever been through) and went on our honeymoon with mike in her note she told me she loved him since high school but he was never interested so she used me to get to him. She claimed to have loved me at some point but after a drunken one night stand her and mike knew they were soul mates

I’m not gonna lie i was a wreck for about year every time I tried to move forward that day her mother tearfully handing me the note and everyone’s faces would set me back

but times a healer I’ve moved on I disowned mike and haven’t spoken to both of them in ten years. For the first two years my family hid they had any contact with him but than just basically sat me down one day told me Tammy was pregnant and mike was planning to marry her soon so I needed to get over because they were going to the wedding,baby shower etc To honest I was hurt at the why the went about it but they’re adults, i can’t control what they do with their lives .i simply asked they not invite me to anything they would be at or expect me to forgive him which they tired multiple times to make us talk but after a year of no contact they got the picture

Fast forward to last week I heard mike and Tammy are expecting their 5? Child and mikes business went bankrupt last September Than the chain Tammy works at closed down and they have zero savings apparently.my family have hinted that my wife and I should help them because we are the most financially successful for the kids sake .my wife told them straight up no and said tell mike to look for a job and we left

A while later I got a call from an unknown number I had a feeling who it was but I just had to answer From the moment I said hello both mike and Tammy started ranting about me needing to get over Tammy (I’m my wife’s a queen) saying I’m a piece of poo poo for punishing kids for something that happened years ago finally my brother asked me how does it feel to be the reason his kids go hungry

So I told him that’s his problem not mine they started yelling/crying so I just hung up since than my whole family is calling names for taking my anger out on mikes innocent children ,my wife said I should tell them all go gently caress themselves and asked them to put their hands in their own pockets

I want to read more adventures of the wife telling people off.

I'm going to say that she's got a better feel for what's going on than I do.

However, if one of my army buddies from the war that I haven't seen in over decade showed up in town (most of us scattered to the wind the second we got out) I would drop everything to go hang out. Just not for 2 straight days after completely blowing my wife off.

And the fact that she feels he's trying placate her so that she quits "nagging" makes me think that they've been having some more issues than some old friend showing up.

My(27M) girlfriend(24F) smelled so bad, it led me to break up with her but she's not acknowledging the fact that we're broken up.

quote:

I'm on the edge and irritated. We were together for 2 years. My ex? girlfriend recently started using no waste deodorant, maybe 2 months ago. I understand that she cares about the environment, but that poo poo reeks. It smells like loving garlic and it doesn't even seem to work. When I asked her if she could switch back, we got into a huge argument about it and it ended up making things worse. I ended up breaking off the relationship 2 days ago--at least I tried to.

We sat down, I talked and at the end I said that I didn't think it was going to work and that I could help her find an apartment, and then she said ok and that we would talk when she gets back from work, but we never did. I was thinking "ok, maybe she got the memo", but she keeps using the deodorant. She lives in my house, moved in right before quarantine, and the smell didn't used to be there because she used Secret, which honestly made her smell good. I don't think this is going to work out, and I want to talk to her about her plans on moving out, because I want the constant smell of garlic and sweat GONE.

AITA for wearing pink at my wedding because of my MIL

quote:

No pandemic shamers please, we had a 20 person outdoor wedding with masks. Anyway. My husband is the only child of a divorced mom, who has heavily relied on him for emotional support, yardwork, chores, anything you would rely on a husband for. According to my husband she’s hated every girlfriend he ever had, and I am no exception. I am stealinggggg her babbbyyyyyy.

I have always been polite to her and ignored her passive aggressive jibes. This woman has bought the perfume I wear after asking me what it was, bought the same car in the same color as me 1 month after I got mine, insisted we spend Valentine’s Day with her, asked my husband why he doesn’t take her on vacations, you name it.

I made the mistake of allowing her to come bridal gown shopping with me and my mom. There, she found a white wedding dress and insisted it was a perfect Mother of the Groom dress. I was horrified, my mother was horrified, the sales lady was horrified. We tried to convince her it was not appropriate and asked her to respect my wishes. No dice. She said “you are being a bridezilla and forgetting it’s my special day too.” I went home and told my fiancé (now husband) and he tried to reason with her and she would not have it.

So, I decided we were changing things up. I picked a blush pink wedding gown without telling her, had my bridesmaids pick white dresses, and had my mom pick a white dress. We didn’t tell her any of this. She showed up the day of the wedding and had a shocked Pikachu face and was beet red.

Honestly, the wedding was beautiful, it looked really stunning to have a white bridal party with white and pink florals and me in a pink dress. She had a scowl on her face the whole time.

The day after the wedding she called my husband and lectured him about how mean we were to her and we didn’t let her feel special and we took away her shine. Everyone I know is on my side, including my FIL (MILs) ex, but my husbands aunt said we bullied his mom by doing this. Did we? AITA?

AITA for keeping my One Direction bathroom decor?

quote:

My husband (48M) and I (46F) have 2 sons (16M) and (14M). We recently moved into a house which has 3 bathrooms.

Our sons’ bedrooms are on the main floor which has a full bathroom. I’ve decorated it in neutral colors and it is simple and functional.

The upper level has an en-suite full bathroom. It is also decorated in neutral colors and is also simple/minimalist. I don’t keep my hair or makeup stuff in this bathroom as I don’t wear much of it and have it in our bedroom.

We have a finished basement which has a smaller bathroom. It doesn’t have a bath, but has a sink, shower and toilet. It’s not even that small, but it’s smaller than the other 2.

Our kids are both in high school, remote for the entire year. My husband works full time. I have been an at-home mom for years and as such, I do all of the cleaning, cooking and shopping. Our sons do most of the outdoor chores such as lawn mowing and snow blowing.

No family is without dysfunction, but we all get along well and practice kindness and respect. We feel so lucky to have awesome kids.

Out of all of us, I spend the most time in the basement as our laundry room and crafting room is down there. The largest room down there has a large TV, comfy couches and a gaming system. Our kids mostly game on their computers in their rooms, but the basement TV and Xbox is still used by all of us.

I decorated the small bathroom just to my own tastes for the first time ever. I’ve painted it pink and it’s got cream and grey decor with pink lights and a pink rug. Here’s the problem: I am a hardcore One Direction fan and I’m not embarrassed to admit it. So I’ve decorated this bathroom with framed posters of 1D and have added lots of other memorabilia such as a signed and framed photo of Harry, and a hook with my 1D bathrobe on it. I have a few “Smells Like Harry Styles” candles on a shelf, along with the band’s autobiography. My favorite framed poster (the band wearing all black) is on the wall directly above the toilet. I have a 1D mug for toothbrushes, a pink tray with the collection of the 1D “Our Moment” perfumes and some bobbleheads. I have lots more stuff on the walls. My husband is mildly amused but not upset about this, but our kids are actually upset about it. They are mortified by it and want me to at least remove all the 1D merch but keep the pink if I must. Though we are still keeping to our safety pods, they both have gf’s and 1 friend each that are also in the pod. This is the first time we’ve ever had a major disagreement in our family. The basement is where the kids and their friends & gfs hang out when they’re here.

AITA if I insist upon keeping my 1D bathroom? I honestly don’t think so at all and am so surprised by our boys’ extreme reactions. My oldest recommended I ask here.

AITA for not wanting my daughter to change her name?

quote:

For one reason or another, my daughter, now 14 going on 15, has always hated her name, Luciana Emma (obviously not her actual name for privacy reasons, but close enough nevertheless). My wife and I thought long and hard about her name before she was born. We wanted it to be something truly meaningful, not just a name we chose simply because we thought it sounded nice.

We eventually settled on Luciana as a first name, meant as a way to honor to my now deceased aunt, who meant the world to me as a kid and who raised me as her own after my mother decided she couldn't be bothered to. I loved and still love everything about that name because it reminds me of her, so I always hoped my daughter would grow to love it just as much. The middle name Emma has a very similar story behind it; my wife chose it as a tribute to one of her own relatives that passed away.

Unfortunately, as you all might've already guessed, my daughter doesn't at all share my opinions on this. I never understood why. Even as a kid, she'd always complain about how she hated her name and wanted nothing to do with it. One day, when she was around 6, she came back from school suddenly declaring that her new name was Ingrid (again, not the actual name she chose but close enough). At the time I just laughed it off as another one of those weird phases kids go through, but the name Ingrid really stuck with her for some reason and before I knew it, everyone around us was calling her that.

That's pretty much how it's been ever since. Everyone from classmates and friends to teachers and neighbors, they all know her as Ingrid. She's Luciana Emma only when she's writing her name on legal documents but never anywhere else. And believe me, I've tried coaxing her into using her very beautiful real name. Tried coming up for nicknames for her to use, like Lucy, Em, Lucia or Anna. Tried telling her the stories behind the names me and her mother chose for her. But nothing ever worked, and I still fail to understand this irrational hatred she has for her birth name.

Now her 15th birthday is coming up and she asked us to let her legally change her name to Ingrid as a present. It was a hard no from me but a yes from my wife, who says she doesn't see the harm in it given the fact that our daughter's been going by Ingrid for nearly a decade now. And while I do see her point, I think it's such a stupid thing to do. She has such a beautiful and meaningful name and wants to change it to some random one she picked as a kid simply because she likes it more. Moreover, I don't think she's old enough to make a decision like this so I told her to wait a few more years, which sparked a pretty big fight between me, her and her mother. Am I the rear end in a top hat?

Not from r/relationships but just as hosed up, enjoy

quote:

My wife and I did everything for our children. They had a happy childhood and we supported them as adults as well.

When our son got married we were happy, even though he immediately started spending less time with us on the weekends. This only got worse when his first child was born. We wanted to help with the baby, but he and his wife kept telling us what to do, picking on every little thing. His wife was paranoid and hysterical about germs and kept nagging us about washing our hands and not holding the baby if we had so much as a cold. Germs are good for immunity! She thought she knew everything and wouldn’t listen to evidence. It broke our heart to see them trying to raise our grandson in a bubble. But we put up with it because we love our grandson.

We also could tell that our daughter in law preferred her parents to us. She would go and see them during the week, whereas we always had to come to her. When we came to their home, the kitchen was often messy and there would be laundry in the living room, even if we had told her we were coming over – it was disrespectful and always made us feel unwelcome. We told our son this and it continued anyway.

It broke our heart to see our son married to a controlling woman. She is also mentally ill, and has seen doctors with post natal anxiety. Even though her decision making is clearly impaired by disease, my son still listens to her instead of his own parents.

When our daughter in law returned to work, they hired a nanny without even asking us whether we wanted to look after the baby. When we asked about it, they said they wanted a nanny because we ‘don’t follow their instructions’ and werent up to date on safety things like sleeping. This is a lie – we followed as much of their instructions as we could. Our son was letting his wife’s mental illness control our whole family and keep us from our grandchild.

It broke our hearts to be rejected like that. We screamed and cried. I was so distressed, I fell to the floor, sobbing. They didnt care. My wife cried every night for months, she didnt get any sleep. My son didnt care.

They ‘apologised’ but apologies are hollow without change – they refused to change their childcare arrangements to enable us to have a good relationship with our grandson.

At this point, my daughter in law (who has been in therapy with no improvements for years!) suggested that we all go to therapy. This was just a means of controlling us. I knew that if they didnt care how much they hurt us, therapy was bound to fail and was just an attempt to manipulate us. It was clear that they had planned to shut us out.

I did some research on grandparents who attained visitation rights over their grandchildren and went to see a lawyer. They told me that bringing a court application would harm my relationship with my son – I was between a rock and a hard place! I had no rights at all. They also said that I was unlikely to do well in court while the parents were offering counselling. I suspect this is why they offered it to begin with.

Over the next few months, we met many times- at every meeting I told my son how sad were were. Often I was crying. I couldnt believe he would throw his own parents away like this. He was so cold and uncaring. His wife would barely speak to us and refused to be alone with us since I’d once yelled at her in a fit of emotion. The relationship was toxic and I realised I had to give up on my son and focus on my grandchild.

I made a court application for shared custody. My son told me via his lawyer to never speak to him again. The court suggested counselling, but after a year of pretending to want counselling, my son refused to follow the court’s advice to go to counselling. he said in court that he was done with us.

We received no legal rights in court. The court is so biased against grandparents, it is incredibly unfair. I am still glad I tried, because when my grandson seeks me out I will be able to tell him that I did everything I could to be a part of his life.

I also want to add that I am under a lot of pressure due to them manipulating my daughters as well. My daughters, who think I was a wonderful father, are turning into their brother’s ‘henchmen’ – telling me I need to stop perusing my legal rights against their brother,

It is incredibly hard that my son is not only turned against me but is encouraging others to do the same!

Lots of deodorants contain things like aluminium so there's quite a big range of 'eco' ones you can buy now. We've tried some, they're all terrible.

Yeah that makes it antiperspirant (when there's aluminum). Deodorant is just alcohol and perfume and whatever other poo poo they put in there for marketing.

I have a mild aluminum allergy, so I like Tom's of Maine but damned if I'm going to pay $8 a stick, so the cheap stuff does just fine. I think I'm on Old Spice atm.

Also I eagerly await some goon dropping in to tell me that Tom hung out with Jeffrey Epstein and murders lambs to raise money for the afterparty at CPAC.

Ed. Jesus. What circle of hell did you dig *that* up in?

Sounds like either rejected parents or some grandparents' rights forum

He does not deserve grandparent rights



Now i'm remembering a reddit post where OP was being sued by their parents over custody of OPs kids. I can't remember what the reason was, though (grandkids raised too liberal? Idk)
