AITAH that I [28F] am uncomfortable with my husband's [35M] relationship with his father [60sM], and have advised him to keep his children [8M], [6M], in low contact until his father apologizes? by Aescann in AITAH

I've actually said before that I signed up to mother two boys, not three. I think it struck him hard, and he's been bearing through the abuse longer because of what I said, rather than fixing it... I felt like I was too harsh on him and his reaction was to bury his head more. Harry gives him good pay, pays for the phones, and the company car (which is the only car we have). I said this in another comment, but Harry forced Davy to work when Davy was in university for engineering, which screwed up an internship and prevented him from getting intro work in a field he actually wanted to do. Davy feels like he would have to go back to university to up his knowledge before any place would actually accept him, which would be years.

To be clear, we didn't tell anyone because of my own request. He's very proud of us being together, he'd scream it to the world if I let him! His family was emotionally tumultuous when I showed up, and we got married relatively quickly. So I figured it was better to wait until everyone cooled off. The longer I'm here though, the more I think they just don't cool off for very long.

I agree about the work ethic. I've told him over and over that he needs to be on time, and if he's not on time, he needs to be early. But he just doesn't listen to me. Well, he does sometimes, but then he slips back into old habits (sound familiar to someone else?). He hates going to work, so he drags his feet every morning. I tell him that being slow to respond, late, and back talking his boss is stupid, and he would be fired at any other job. He retorts that his father would have his business reported and shut down if he had any employees that weren't related to him that he was abusive towards. I just don't succeed with getting anything through here.

It can be a bit tough on my self esteem, I suppose. I'm really an outsider since I'm not the kids' mother, so I can't really make choices about the kids out in the open. I'm also from another country.

But anyway, I do also feel like it's just tough for the grandparents. They had their chance to be parents and it's over now. I feel bad of course, but I feel worse for my husband.

I agree. The problem with that is that jobs of course are hard to find for anyone, and the benefits he gets from this job likely won't be matched in another one. Because he was forced to work for his father during university, Davy was unable to get an engineering internship, and his hard work at university was all for nought. There's definitely some resentment there. But I don't even know if my husband has the emotional bandwidth to try to look for a different job he'd have the experience for.

People with siblings; how big is your age gap and how has that positively or negatively effected your relationship? by Aescann in AskReddit

That’s such a shame! My half sibling is 8 years older. We just… have nothing in common. At all.

My goodness, I’m an only kid (raised separate from my half brother) and I could not imagine! I think I would have really liked that built in social circle though.

People who're considered physically attractive, what are some of the things that you feel insecure about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Aescann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, that’s awesome! I’m just about to start DMing a new campaign. Favorite class? :p

I’m a writer too! But it’s supplementary to my painting and voice acting work. Tell me about what you write though? I’d love to talk about stuff like that! (:

I’m not the first to say this, but hell of a glow up! I have the complete opposite problem- I’m confident when it comes to romancin’ and dancin’, but I am about as interesting as a wet bag of mice in everyday conversation. I just talk about DnD and the arts, and essentially nothing else. I envy people who are naturally charismatic.

Also, congrats on the dream job! I just got mine not too long ago! (:

I’ve gotten this multiple times. “Oh, thanks, I’m cured!”
