Long story short, my father in law recently got engaged to a lady friend from church. I know her through some other people. She seemed nice enough and my wife and I were genuinely happy for my wife's father.
My wife and I recently found out that she was married 6 times previously and she had not disclosed this to my father in law. The last of the 6 marriages ended 20 years ago, and she has been single ever since.
Our mutual friends told her that she needed to come clean with my father in law.. Weeks pass by, and we keep asking these mutual friends when is she planning on having the discussion.
I (35F) married the love of my life (41M) over the summer in Palm Springs. Because it was going to be obscenely hot, we made the dress code cool and casual. For the bridal party, we opted for light colors, natural fabrics, and sleeveless dresses for the bridesmaids.
My husband and I are tattoo artists. Our friends come from careers where it's okay to be tatted. So of course everybody in the bridal party is inked.
One of my bridesmaids, Corrin, is a diehard Harry Potter fan and has a full sleeve themed around it. From where she was standing at the altar, everyone could see it. And honestly, no body cared except for my step-sister Kelly.
I (36F) have been seeing my Partner (40M) for eight months now and we felt it was time I met his daughter (10F) who he is a single father to. He has understandably been cautious about this and not wanting to rush into us meeting which I have fully respected. The plan was we'd go out to the Cinema then return to my place and the three of us would have dinner together.
We went to see Haunted Mansion and had a generally good time, she wasn't exactly enthused about our relationship which is to be expected as it's our first meeting but she wasn't rude either. I know it'd take time for us to grow close. At my Home I told them to relax while I g
I (29F) won't say the diagnosis, but it causes me to be ill very often; it's a miracle if there's one week where I'm not sick. This diagnosis means I'm prone to getting ill and will often easily pick up whatever my work colleagues or anyone who is sick and is around me has. My immune system is weak, and whereas people are often told to rest and take paracetamol/ibuprofen, I have to go to my GP for solid antibiotics to fight this infection as my immune system can't. Although I have this diagnosis, I don't talk about it or complain and get on with the day.
Anyway, this is a recent issue. About three weeks ago, I became ill. This was the worst
A new neighbor on ring posted that they are allergic to bbq smoke and is requesting that neighbors not barbecue at all. This person does not live directly by me but a majority of the comments find it ridiculous and are telling them they need to just stay inside. The person said they will be passing out flyers with more information. We do not barbecue much ourselves but obviously lots of people do everywhere.
While I understand allergies can be very deadly I don't think it is reasonable to try and tell people to not barbecue as realistically I don't think anyone will care. Unfortunately I don't think a flyer will do much. Personally I can't imagine that this is
I (F22) have a service dog for fainting episodes. My dog is basically my medical equipment since he alerts when he senses an oncoming episode and either breaks me out of it or keeps me safe during it. He became a huge life changer for me since I can go out in public without being anxious about fainting (which obviously isn’t helping and may cause another episode).
So yesterday I was at the grocery store buying some food and minding my business with my dog by my side (keep in mind it’s a very cute fluffy Husky dog, so I understand the urge to pet the cute creature, that’s why he has a special vest with huge ass “MEDICAL ALERT SERVICE DOG DO NOT TOUCH” on
My [27F] little sister [24F] is getting married next summer and is in the midst of wedding planning.
As we're very very different and live on opposite coasts, I am not really involved in planning, but occasionally she will share something with me for a reaction/opinion.
Yesterday she booked her photographer and we were going over other people's online wedding photos together when she made an odd request.
She insisted we take photos in which my husband specifially does not appear, "just in case".
Not girls only, blood only, bridesmaids only- without him, in case we split. I checked.
I was honestly shocked and had to stop myself from sugge
I’m a high school US History teacher and I teach one period of APUSH. I have 21 kids in that class and they honestly are some of the smartest kids in their grade. I require them to form study groups and meet outside of class every unit to study. One of these groups was studying at Target. There is a Starbucks at that Target and apparently they were studying there and decided to take a break by walking around Target.
I was also at Target with my wife and her sister at the time. One of them was being pushed around in a shopping cart and all of them were acting more like kindergartners than 16 year olds. They said hello to me in the aisle and I somewhat jokin
I (33M) and my gf (32F) moved in together a couple of months ago, and everything has been good so far except for one thing. We both have to be at work at 8 - my job is less than a mile away so I get up at 7, hers is about a half-hour commute so she naturally gets up earlier.
But here's the thing, instead of doing it the usual way, she will set her alarm for 5:30 or 5:40 and then keep hitting snooze until 6:30, or she'll set it for 5:30 and then reset it a half-hour later, and so on.
Sometimes she'll get up at 5:30 and lay in bed looking at news or memes or whatever on her phone, and when she does that she usually falls back asleep with no
So I (30F) and my husband (32M) have been married for 2 years, we have one child (1M). My husband recently obtained his dream job of being a police officer. Where I am from you go to police College after being hired for 3 months, and his police force does an additional 2 months after. Both places this training occurs is about 3 hours away, so he lives there Monday to Friday evening, and comes home Friday night until Sunday morning. I work a stressful job and am and will remain the breadwinner in my role, I recently found daycare for my son for my 9-5 job.
From Monday to Friday I am absolutely doing everything myself, I take care of our son, dog, home, everyt
So my girlfriend got a dui and lost her license and car. I have a couple vehicles mostly for work and my employees. One being a Honda pilot I occasionally used when I didn't want to drive the truck. I previously told her before her dui she could use this vehicle because she would be covered under my fleet insurance. However now she has this dui charge she would need an interlock device installed and I don't want to jeprodize my fleet insurance by putting her on my insurance. Her solution is I sell her the car (12k$) value roughly to her at a discounted price her suggestion (3k$). I'm not totally sold on this idea she says if I cared about her
I moved in with my 4 friends at the beginning of this year for university. I brought up the importance of having a spare key but everyone said it would be useless because there was always someone in the house. Well, as of last night D-day came. Before I left my roommate said that she was going out to get sushi, and then my other roommate left for Accapella practice. I had a party for my frat that I needed to attend so I got my things, left the house and locked the door behind myself (as you do). This is important because my roommates are terrible at remembering their keys and always forget to lock the door (even in the middle of the night when everyone is home). Als
I [18M] have an invisible disability, the gist of it being that I can't stand for long periods of time. Usually on the bus, I would try to sit if I can, sometimes in the priority seating. However, nothing appears wrong with me, I'm just a young "healthy" guy to most people.
Several times, I've been yelled at by strangers for not giving up my seat for someone pregnant or elderly, and I'm getting sick and tired of having to tell people that I actually have a disability, not that many people would believe me anyways.
I came up with the idea of getting a walking cane when I go in public, and occasionally I would walk with a slight limp when gett
So my (26f) husband (26m) is obsessed with football. Like to the point that it’s taking over all of his free time during the fall. We have a 7 month old little boy, and I’ve been trying for awhile to convince my husband to take a Saturday away from football so we can take our kid to the zoo for the first time. He’s had varying excuses, like it’s going to be too hot, there’s a big game that he wants to watch, or there’s too much stuff to do around the house, so I’ve let it go.
So tomorrow is going to be the first day in the area we live in where the weather is actually cooling off. I’ve been really excited all week thinking about what we should
My brother in law called my husband a fake ass dad because we are foster parents (due to having 6 years of a infertility battle)
My husband hide him saying that from me for over a year. When my husband told me it ate away at me. I ended up put a post on Facebook not saying anyone’s names or any specifics just stating that. “I hope your wife never feels that pain… I hope you get the gift of having a biological family.” Well brother in law sees the nonchalant post and his wife texts me that I am a horrible person I cause drama and states that I SHOULD have put names in the post and SHOULD have tagged them. We removed them from our life do to how they have treat
I've been married to my wife for four years, and we have a two-year-old son together. She was a widow and lost her fiancé in a car accident two years before we met. I've always respected her grief and never pressured her to forget him.
However, she still keeps some of his items in our home, like photos, clothes, jewelry, and even the engagement ring he gave her. She says they are important memories and that I shouldn't be bothered by them. But I am bothered because I feel like she hasn't completely moved on from him, and I'm just a replacement.
I want her to get rid of these items or at least store them somewhere else, like at her parents' hou
My son is in the 5th grade and he recently had to testify in court over something that happened when he was 8. The whole ordeal has been traumatic for him. His mom/my ex has made the situation worse by making it all about her.
Very long story short, no one in our immediate circle knew about this until this week. My son's teacher mentioned how Eli hasn't been himself. Usually he's talkative, social, silly but can focus when he needs too. I told her he's going through something temporarily and we're aware and working on it. That's all she needs to know. In no way was he disruptive or causing trouble.
I guess that piqued her interest so she asked my ex who tol
So I’m(28f) engaged to Jake(27f) we have been together 5 years and I’m currently pregnant with our second child who’s due any day now. I get along with his family expect for Jenny who was dating Jake from ages 14 to 16 she ended moving in with them because of issues at home and she is also super close to his sister, Jake told me when they broke up it caused issues and he ended moving out at 17 to live with his uncle which Jenny saw as them choosing her.
Jake was no contact with his family when we got together but they ended up speaking again after we had our first child and Jenny had at that stage claimed them as
My husband and I have a twin (Jack, and Clara). They made a new friend, Josh. He came to our house multiple times and slept over once. They wanted to go to his place. We've met his parents. The looked very responsible. After a couple of visits, my son told me that Josh's older sister (18-19) is weird. When she watched them play a video game or something, she always seemed to linger and weirdly watch them. She attempts to talk to them but doesn't really say anything. She tried to get closer to them but they don't like it when she does that.
It wasn't surprising to me.
When we went to visit once, we talked about our kids and theirs including Josh's sister.
My wife (27F) owns an Etsy shop where she sells handmade jewelry. She has some real talent and the jewelry she sells is genuinely very nice and high quality. She gets a surprising amount of sales on there too, and has great reviews.
The issue is that EVERYWHERE we go, EVERY conversation she has, she slips in something about her shop and tries to promote it. Talking to a friend? She'll casually mention a big sale she made or a custom order she got and not-very-subtly mention that she'd give her friend a coupon or something similar. Talking to our waiter? She'll mention that she has a pair of earrings on her shop that would compliment their eyes. Talking to someone
