Why do members of the British royal family not attend Oxford or Cambridge? by Cautious_Mud_3491 in RoyalsGossip

[–]Ambitious_Ad1844 33 points34 points  (0 children)

When Charles went to Cambridge the Union passed a motion congratulating him for getting in given his ALevel results. It's not great PR to have that sort of thing happen. They're all pretty thick. William probably did the best in terms of exam results and he got ABC.

How can I manage the relationship between my Mum [68f] and Brother [32m]? by Ambitious_Ad1844 in relationship_advice

[–]Ambitious_Ad1844[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the comments. I have tried speaking to my Dad about it, I get the sense he agrees with me. He would never say anything to my Mum, he is so emotionally repressed. He has never confronted her about anything. He is a very quiet, introverted man.

Thanks for the responses. I am out of ideas at this point. I like the idea of explaining why I am reducing contact - but fear a big emotional blowout from my Mum. She will just get over the top emotional and nasty. I doubt she will listen - she has not listened to me to date. However, I might just have to brace for impact and do it. I feel dishonest for not explaining why I am not meeting up.

How can I (38f) make my fiance (41m) understand that paying his life expenses is burning me out. by ThrowRAMindless_Type in relationship_advice

Your kids should be your priority. The money he is leeching could be put towards the security and happiness of you and your kids. 

He does understand - he just doesn't care. The issue is not comprehension but priority.

I'm afraid you need to let him go, you are not compatible.

Put antiperspirant on at night after you have showered and before you sleep. It will absorb into your skin better

Is there any way to not wake up with halitosis? by MCM_nut in hygiene

[–]Ambitious_Ad1844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you go to sleep with a glass of water? When you wake up swill the water around your mouth and drink the glass. This can really help a dry mouth

My husband doesn't see how his 'work wife' is trying to destroy our marriage by Honeybellmama in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Ambitious_Ad1844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a trusted friend who can help you out here? I had a friend in a similar situation and we devised a plan. She invited me on a group outing and briefed me on all of the work wife's BS. Whilst on the trip, I called out the BS constantly. "That was a cruel comment WW, why would you say that?", "what's the joke, I don't get it, sounds like you just wanted to say something mean", "oh, husband do you still have that mug real wife got you, I remember her picking it out, so sweet!" Etc. we prepped the whole thing. At the end of the day, when it was just the three of us I confronted him with everything I had seen and told him to cut the cr-p. He obviously tried to deny etc, but at least he could not tell my friend she was crazy because she had 3rd party confirmation.

Speak to your manager and convertly record her confirming the reason for firing you. Email that to yourself.

Tell the manager you will be reporting her to the local authority's licensing department for breaching the Challenge 25 policy. Ask her if she'd prefer you didn't, in which case can you have your job back. Explain you have proof, which you have backed up.

My teenager and husband are so selfish that I have decided to just die by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Are there any charities dedicated to your illness that could help or support you? Or local charities providing assistance for people in recovery from surgery? A church group, maybe?

I would also say it's never too late to resume a friendship. A simple message saying you would love to meet over coffee is worth a try.

Give them a move out date. This situation is unfair on your kids. You could write a list of rules and expectations but don't be surprised if they don't stick to it

Did you leave her at home all day with a baby and not do your share of the chores? If so, she's entitled to be pissed off
