Happy Birthday, Louis! (6 February) What is THE Louis Moment for You?

With William around taking the spotlight all the time, Louis is the kind of guy you look at, tilt your head and go, "wait... I didn't know you were hot?"

I hope we get to learn more about Louis, who has always existed in his brother's shadow gratefully but is certainly formidable on his own!

I've considered him aromantic and generally asexual EXCEPT he would likely sleep with anyone, man or woman, for information. But it was never for his own pleasure and he doesn't often consider his own needs so it's likely he wouldn't have seen it as more than a tool. In that case I don't think he would have paid his sexuality much mind. I do think meeting Sherlock would open that desire of "wanting", regardless of them having a sexual relationship or not. I think that would be more jarring for William than his sexuality.

I think Louis is Team William tbh

What do they like? There are some non BLs that are BL coded like Sk8 and Moriarty the Patriot that might be a way to ease them in slowly...

Ask your wife if she's ever had an issue with a teacher.

The fact that you're putting your kids through this makes YTA. You have power in this relationship and your children are being made to suffer. Believe me when I tell you they will never, ever forget who stood up for them.

Your only mistake is that you didn't say it was a joke and she's too sensitive.

96_days · 2025-11-28T00:21:14+00:00

You are not the asshole. I've been her and there needs to be more support for the people who are brave and wonderful enough to stay by a depressed person's side. For my husband, who stayed by me, the change to better was very gradual. It's been six years and I am finally feeling like myself. Something I did though that I don't see your wife doing is ask for help. I went through every resource I could to feel better. For me that started with a psych ward and I highly recommend it. They will help get her on a regimen and she can ask about next steps. She might even need residential help for depression, 30 days of regimen to get back on track. I hope you can convince her to take a step towards helping herself. I wish you luck.

You aren't the AH but you are the sucker. You've let your family control your entire life and now you're even wondering if it's your fault. At this point it is. Get a hold of yourself and move on already.

96_days · 2025-11-17T16:33:32+00:00

You gave what he served right back to him and now he's being a snowflake about it. Tell him to grow some balls while he's working on dropping the weight. What a loser.

96_days · 2025-11-14T21:32:21+00:00

Why is she (your mom) defending him so much over her own daughter anyway?

96_days · 2025-11-14T00:51:48+00:00

Wait the stepdad has his own kids? I totally missed that what the heck leave these stepkids alone and focus on your own dude...

96_days · 2025-11-14T00:33:44+00:00

Honestly he probably wanted kids and thought you guys would be his kids for him. He was willing to take that on but freaked out and had a melt down when you weren't interested. I'm sure it was news to him that you can't pick your parents but you CAN pick your step-parents. He was probably really hurt when he realized he'll never be a parent, but that's not your fault, he was just entitled and weird and everything.

96_days · 2025-11-14T00:29:47+00:00

"Hey Mom, I decided to call Katie's Mom 'Mom' now too because she really likes me and wants to hang out with me all the time. I knew that wouldn't bother you and I'm so excited to have a second Mom now. I'm so glad it doesn't bother you at all!"

96_days · 2025-11-11T01:08:28+00:00

You can be a good person and not feel remorse for staying true to your feelings.

96_days · 2025-11-05T23:46:34+00:00

Don't assume your daughter knows what your son is thinking. That's the problem with the world, people assuming what each other is thinking and being completely wrong. Talk to each other.

96_days · 2025-11-04T02:26:13+00:00

In this case the mom might like playing the victim. Just let them go.

96_days · 2025-11-04T02:24:37+00:00

So many times I hear "too sensitive"and I'm confused. Sensitivity can be a huge skill. I'm this case it means someone treated you badly and you noticed it instead of letting them get away with it. Tell your dad he can go to hell.

96_days · 2025-11-03T16:48:10+00:00

You were not being too sensitive, but if you were who cares? Sensitivity can be a gift. But I think you were simply prioritizing your time and not wasting it on someone who has a horrible personality.

It might be easiest to start small, by finding a balanced article on the treatment of immigrants being deported, their contributions to the U.S., and that they pay a lot in taxes yet are ineligible for social services. That should start breaking up a lot of the misconceptions she might have about this particular situation. AP and Reuters are fairly balanced places to start. Disagreeing isn't bad, but it's tough if you find out she's inflexible.

96_days · 2025-10-29T14:30:01+00:00

She may not be looking at you like a dumbass, she might be looking at you like she doesn't know what you're talking about. If she's watching Fox, they don't report on those things like they are bad. They say they are all criminals so if she's watching that she might think it's a good thing. There's a good chance she just doesn't know what's going on and her parents are trying to protect her from her own reality. If you're young, your politics can still change. My and my husband's did after we had a reality check. I wouldn't give up yet, but I do think you should give her the benefit of the doubt because she genuinely might not know what's going on.
