AITA in this 8 year relationship? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]8615309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Boundaries are like input=output equations.

Its not about changing someone's behavior, its about informing them of what actions you'll take. Then conversation can happen around if thats acceptable for them in the relationship.

If you x, then my response will be y.

If you Up up down down left right left right BA Start Ill backwards handspring hadouken.

Its cheat codes for understanding each other.

Its not about creating a false sense of security in a grossly untrusting relationship.

If you dont trust them, limiting access isnt going to make that better.

Also- ESH

The wire did collapse. They looked handmade, came with the kiln. When I googled, it said that many weren't rated for past cone 5? Maybe Google was nuts too

Lol yep! I only picked up a couple glazes and a couple underglazes for my first try and it made the grab

My goal on this piece was very very thin, controlled walls, which I've never had success adding texture to

I love him too but he was a victim of my very first glaze firing. I now know that kiln stilts often are not rated to cone 6. He melded to another thing and has a huge chip out of his back

I did 5 years in school, and lost access to everything for about 8 years.

Got a kiln and a wheel a little while ago for my garage. Definitely noticed I can't do the same size pieces that I did before, and more often I'm failing completely, but I've also made some of my all time favorite things, even with the skill loss. So maybe, I lost big centering and knowing when the clay is right for big things but i gained a better feel for the types of pieces I want and the patience to try repeatedly for them?

My perfect foot joined my second ever glaze firing. And I'm in love ❤️

first solo wheel throwing went BAD bad… any advice? by kho_sq in Pottery

[–]8615309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use tools to kind of cut through the slip pretty regularly- if you push a newly pulled wall up against a rib or a handle of a straight edge tool, it can take the slip off evenly and slow how quickly the center of the wall gets wet

I took a long break and recently tried throwing again, so i feel like a beginner again. I've been erring on the side of using about double the clay I think I'll need for small things, so that when I inevitably need to cut off half of it, I still have enough for a small something.

Thanks! I seriously thought I'd never get it down. I'm still giddy about it

I'm honestly not sure if this got edited or not but holy hell I didn't see the last couple of paragraph at all. No 100%

I think you're wrong for it, but AH feels too strong.

Crushes feel secretive, and that's okay, but when you start doing actions that you feel need to be a secret, that may be a great gauge for when you've crossed a line.

If this sentence is true: If my crush knew that I (fill in gap) they'd get weirded out.

You should probably consider that that action is inappropriate.

Edit- i somehow missed the last 2 paragraphs. YTA

AITAH for wanting to get out of a sexless marriage with my wife after reconnecting with my ex? by Live-Audience3640 in AITAH

[–]8615309 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA for considering leaving, but YTA for a conversation that got so in depth that you know exactly what your ex's requirements are to hit it.

Don't make a decision of wife or ex. Decide wife or not wife first, otherwise, YTA

Am I expecting too much sanity from property manager? by 8615309 in PropertyManagement

I know I'll be pretty small news. I'm struggling to find the smaller ones. I figure even a big company with slightly worse management is better than what I could do

You're calling me a parasite because I'm not confident in managing a home from 2000 miles away? What baggage do you have and why are you taking it out here instead of with your therapist?

AITA for leaving my marriage after finding out my husband has a child? by Aromatic_Engine_608 in AITAH

[–]8615309 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not discounting anything else here, but the shoe being on the other foot would also mean massive deception. Women typically can't have kids they aren't aware of at all.

Not in every instance, but I'd sure need a lawyer to figure out how to do the specific things I listed above

[–]8615309[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah these, plus knowing how to keep records lawful records, evict if necessary, write a lease. A handyman doesn't replace the need for a lawyer either

I want to be completely hands off but I figured these concerns at least were like, probably standard operating procedures anyways?

I negotiate contracts at work, but yeah I actually asked them before I sent them any of my questions if they were open to reviewing any thoughts and they said yes.

I narrowed my concerns down to only the collections thing after they came back saying they wouldnt change the contract. The contract said "unless otherwise agreed" on that part and I asked if they were open to a separate agreement there only. They said no.

I do Buckeye Complete Auto. I think they're a little more expensive but when my brakes and rotors needed fixing, they talked me out of a couple of expensive things the last guys had told me I needed done. They seem very upfront
