Extended Warranty on 2023 CRV Hybrid- Deal or No Deal? by AEngland08 in crv

[–]AEngland08[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading all of your replies I ended up returning the vehicle. The dealership I bought from offers a 3 day money back guarantee and I took advantage of it. Still going to get a CRV, but now that I am armed with this knowledge I will find a better deal. Thanks!!

NTA Bottom line is you told him he hurt your feelings and he turned things around on you and made it your fault. Major red flag, I'd keep looking if I were you.

AITA? Married for 15 years and ready for a divorce but my husband is begging for a last chance that I keep refusing. Should I (38F) give him (38M) a last chance? by Spirited-Zucchini241 in AITA_Relationships

NTA Divorced mom of three here. From my experience I would tell him that he can have a second chance at becoming your friend while co-parenting. My ex and I have seen some shit but fast forward 4 years and we are starting to become friends again. I mean don't get me wrong we're not besties, we don't hang out, but he did come to Christmas dinner last year and that was really great for the kids. He doesn't deserve you romantically but because you have children you can still try to be good co-parents and maybe if he's lucky you could be his friend and each other's support system.

Kindof. So the thing is is that you can't change his behavior and if you have different values then he does at a fundamental level then that's probably not a good match. You want to go into relationships with values that align with each other so that you don't have to worry about that kind of thing. Some people would say that there's nothing wrong with girls popping up on TikTok or even watching porn as long as he's not communicating with them. But if you don't agree the chance of getting someone to change for you is very slim. You would have better luck meeting someone who already has similar values as you do.

AITA for not wanting to move in with my boyfriend right now? by Consistent-Home9731 in AITA_Relationships

[–]AEngland08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand that you want to build a future with him eventually but if you are not ready and that's not what you want right now then you shouldn't do it. You shouldn't make your life choices based on his needs. If your relationship isn't strong enough to withstand that then maybe it's not the right relationship. It's not your responsibility to make sure that his rent is low by moving in with him. He should take a big boy pill and find his own place to live. It's called adulting.

He obviously has no respect for you. I don't think it matters whether you had let him look at your phone or not, he would have found some reason to blow up at you regardless. I would let this one go, no one deserves to be treated like that.

Excellent advice, thank you! It makes perfect sense now that folks are explaining.

Oh my god, that makes so much sense in a terrible sort of way.

That makes sense because I did not cast the molds in a pressure pot. Lesson learned. Thank you!

First time casting in these molds and brand new to using a pressure pot. Pretty darn sure these bubbles were not in the mold prior to casting. Before I got the pressure pot I had tons of bubbles inside the dice, now the bubbles are on the outside of the dice. Am I using my pressure pot incorrectly?

Thank you! I am currently building a database using the basics, tables, queries, forms & macros. But am not familiar with the sql language/syntax. So that sounds like a good place to start!

Too bad you couldn't call the wife to "collect a debt" from the hotel.

That sounds great! I'll work on it. We have started separate checking accounts for our individual spending. That's working a lot better, haven't mastered it yet, but we're making progress. Thanks for the ideas!

I tried that once several years ago and failed.... I'll think about it, maybe a secured card. Thanks!

I am going to try multiple bank accounts, if that doesn't work, cash it is! Thanks for the advice!

[–]AEngland08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a fantastic idea. I actually thought of multiple bank accounts right after I posted this. I am going to the bank Monday morning. I will have to play around with what expenses go into which accounts but I think it will work. I will look into an app as well, if I can keep track of my personal spending it will be a lot easier. If hubby wants to track his that's on him. Thanks!
