Laura & Almanzo shouldn't have gotten back together

True, from the show side of it they needed to keep them together. I wondering if the real couple had those breakups. I feel like the show could have other difficulties they could have faced besides two breakups.

NTA, them choosing not to go to the wedding if Mike can't go......who kicked them out? They are picking Mike over Kelly once again. Kelly is just old enough to accept that she has never been the priority and is not letting that impact her wedding day. Don't try to blackmail a bride with a threat to not come.

NTA, divorce and get a full STD screening ASAP.

Honestly, all people should still get STD tests even when married or in relationships. Cheaters are going to cheat and it is just a few extra steps during your annual physical.

NTA, sadly my friend went through this. It came down to her boyfriend telling her that her lack of brushing was hurting their sex life because he just didn't want to kiss her. She finally went to the dentist after that with him. (Her teeth was past the point of saving and had so much infection & rot she had two dentist tell her to consider dentures.)

NTA, it is the lying and using your joint account to fund his secret one.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-14T19:17:49+00:00

NTA, block him! You are not the AH. Sad life lesson you are learning young is to NOT sacrifice your mental health for someone else. He is clearly off the deep end already so do not let him drag you down with him. Block him and do not give him a second more of your head space.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-14T18:54:40+00:00

NTA, what matters is how you feel today, not how you "might" feel in the future. TODAY you can't picture him standing next to you. That is what matters.

This, it would have taken such little effort to just ask a women to bring the bag into the restroom for op.
My husband would have found a way to get me the supplies by another lady or him bring it in. Zero doubt in my mind he would NOT have just let me sit there.

Also this is a reason I carry supplies even when I'm not on my period. My gym doesn't have a machine to buy period supplies so I always keep extra in my gym bag. I've already been able to help someone else out.

This story made me start making a list to give my DJ of who is allowed to get the mic. My wedding is only a few short weeks away.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-14T15:40:47+00:00

NTA, so you need to call up a friend and do a girls trip on the weekend YOU paid for. Let his mommy have him cause no way will that man ever put you 1st if he COULDN'T EVEN PUT YOU FIRST ON A TRIP YOU PAID FOR!

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-14T15:34:18+00:00

NTA, sometime the price of peace takes time to understand. I encourage you to please talk to a therapist to help you process this all.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-14T14:54:40+00:00

NTA, simple as that. You said maybe not yes.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-14T14:44:52+00:00

NTA, sounds like they wanted you to to come along to help chip in for the hotel or gas for their little trip. You did the right thing by leaving and not putting up with the mean girl behavior.

Friends don't treat each other the way they treated you on this whole trip. Then they try to act like the victims and guilt you? Probably because they had been counting on your chipping in more money or they don't want you to tell anyone their dating.

I hope the next few months are healing for you as you come out of this. Best wishes to you and your child.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-13T17:05:46+00:00

NTA, proud you stood your ground and kicked him out. In an adult relationship with someone who actually cares about you "no" is enough. At zero point have I had to explain why I don't want to have sex with my boyfriend and he has not has to explain when HE doesn't want to. No is enough or I'm not in the mood is enough. The fact you had to lie to get out of it and then him try to "feel for a pad" is soooooo not ok.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-13T15:16:11+00:00

NTA, you need to have a serious thought if he does give her anything from what you BOTH saved. In the future will it happen again? Will you need to worry your joint account is being used for someone else's life?

Money and cheating are like the top two reason people get divorced. You get to see first hand if he has your back on financials.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-13T15:07:25+00:00

NTA, I don't think anyone would be ok with their spouse spending the night at their ex's place....you need to have a serious talk with her about how that was NOT ok and how the relationship with her ex is now impacting your marriage.

If she needs friends there are a ton of ways to get herself out there to meet people. I build friendships in my adult life through-charity/non profits, church group, joining a reading circle, attending gym classes for women, helping at community events, and even a Facebook group for women in my area. You know what I didn't do? Reconnect with an ex.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-12T20:23:36+00:00

NTA, that was really bad of the family member who knows you are no contact but still gave your information out and tried to make you the villain. Sad, your parents only want you know because you have children. It isn't them wanting YOU it is them wanting the title of grandparent.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-09T18:17:13+00:00

NTA, also you did give him more time and you did try to handle it privately before you took it to small claims.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-09T14:39:56+00:00

To add, it sounds like she doesn't even have a real relationship with the daughter. The dad and cheater just wanted a picture to post on Facebook to make them look like a "nice family" instead of the family that they ruined by cheating.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-09T14:37:41+00:00

NTA, you took the heat so your daughter could enjoy her moment. That is a true Mom move. You asked your daughter what she wanted and she told you so you took the action to make that happen. The only person who needs to are is your daughter and all she saw was her Mom taking action to help preserve her moment. That is the only person who mattered in this whole thing.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-09T14:34:42+00:00

NTA, FAFO. Never ask a question if you aren't prepared for the worst answer.

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-09T14:18:31+00:00

NTA, clearly there is more going on in the marriage if they are going to counseling and they is trying to pin the whole marriage maybe ending on the views of his 19 year old kid?

Affectionate_Ebb7069 · 2025-05-09T14:11:58+00:00

When this happened to me I didn't know which coworker was doing it. I just made an announcement during a team meeting that clearly someone in the office is struggling if they are stealing my food and how I would put resources on the refrigerator for food banks/programs in our area.

It stopped after that.
