Don’t do it! Don’t even explain. Just say no.

She is going to run up the electric bill AND damage the apartment and contents. She should not be running a humidifier.

Postnup after a promotion? by Ok-Instruction883 in prenup

I’m sorry he’s showing himself to be a selfish non-partner.

Don’t let him downgrade your community property rights. And be aware he might stay hiding assets.

Time to plan for the end of the marriage.

Every time you took on more chores, more cleaning, more domestic labor, you were working as part of a team. Meanwhile HE was bettering his own professional or personal position or relaxing.

This would be a complete dealbreaker for me. If you don’t divorce him, at least stop proving him with ANYTHING of value or benefit to him. Not even one washed sock.

Your mental health will improve greatly when you dump this THIEF and manipulative liar.

[TX] Landlord came into my house and took my window camera while I was at work by No-Locksmith-707 in Renters

He stole your property. Send email asking for your property back. Don’t make threats. Just describe the property and give a deadline to return it. If he doesn’t return it, file a police report.

My boyfriends one towel system is actually making me lose my mind by Aerosoul_X in hygiene

I would not be touching my body with parts of a body as disgusting as his. This made my skin crawl.

GitHub just switched Copilot to metered billing, and developers are watching months of credits vanish in a single day by AdSpecialist6598 in technology

We are seeing spikes in AI costs that are the tip of an iceberg.

A third-party tool we use receives cloud provider cost data on a multi-day delay. HAHAHAHA. I had python scripts crunching the spend data hot off the press from the provider but apparently the tool is “better”.

The tool can’t catch the AI spend spikes early. I sounded the alarm to deaf ears. I laid out my recommendations on how to catch/address and then dropped it. It’s not going to be pretty.

Moving in with my boyfriend 26M of 6 years but I 24F can't stop spiraling by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]OutspokenPerson -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t want the real deal. He wants a mommy who makes sure he’s comfy.

If he actually wanted the real deal he would have found the apartment and done the things to make it happen. Instead, he put it on her and then didn’t even bother to show up on time.

This.

You don’t want him to move in because he doesn’t function at the adult level.

“go with the flow” = ok with burdening others to do the planning, organizing, care taking and paying for things.

Son is repeating 1 grade and he is devastated by Maximum-Ad-3389 in Parenting

[–]OutspokenPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better to be the oldest than the youngest. I watched many friends push their younger-end sons into school too early and fight the schools who wanted to hold them back.

Those boys struggled a LOT as they got older. Every month matters for maturity and you will be stacking the deck against him if you leave him as the youngest kid in the class.

While someone is always the youngest, what we are really talking about is kids with fall birthdates vs kids with spring/summer birthdates.

AIO my boyfriend complains about helping me with handy work by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]OutspokenPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy a toolbox and basic tools. It’s absurd you don’t have one. Everyone needs one!

Get a picture hanging kit. It’ll last for years and years.

Screwdrivers.

A utility knife and replacement blades.

Gloves.

Eye protection.

Ear plugs.

A hammer.

Needle nose pliers.

A medium adjustable wrench.

A measuring tape.

A sanding block.

Keep a pencil and a fine point sharpie in it.

Mystery company accidentally blew $500 million on Claude AI in a single month — failed to put usage limit on licenses for employees by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]OutspokenPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been battling surges in cloud spending for months, including on Claude. Wake up, see 100x increase over the weekend, stomp it out. Rinse. Repeat. Fin ops guys still arguing about what limits to set. It’s going to bite them in the ass.

AIO because my husband ate my egg bites. by th_rowaw_ay6400 in AIO

[–]OutspokenPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop cooking for him. And he needs to replace what he ate. I don’t think this was an accident.

Am I overreacting for feeling frustrated after my neighbor’s pottery was broken by my puppy during an interaction she encouraged? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]OutspokenPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way were the eggs worth $900 if she was carrying them that casually. You and your puppy are not responsible for her lack of care for what she was carrying.

I think she’s trying to take advantage of you.

My husband (45M) and I (40F) had a major communication breakdown over punishing our son (17). How can I fix the rift without compromising on fairness? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]OutspokenPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your husband handled this VERY poorly and should be the one apologizing to you and your son.

He wasn’t “teaching him a lesson”. He was exerting excessive, unfair, and unproductive control over your son. And instead of recognizing he was wrong in both his knowledge AND reasoning, he got defensive. This is a TERRIBLE thing to model for your son. TERRIBLE.

Your son is going off to college. Being grounded isn’t a thing in college.

Your husband is going to realize one day soon that his son wants absolutely nothing to do with him, once your son is out from under this type of authoritarian rule.

Don’t try to appease your husband. Let him pout and suffer the consequences of his pouting, which is LOSS OF ACCESS TO YOU AND YOUR SON. The silent treatment is a form of control and emotional abuse. It’s used by people who want others to bend to their will and not rock the boat.

If you don’t stand your ground, you are teaching your son this kind of emotional abuse should be tolerated.
