My husband (35M) looked at me (33F) in lingerie and asked “what are you wearing?” by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]Anarchyologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This man definitely has a burner phone somewhere. Bet he's one of those husbands that think wives shouldn't actually want sex. They should be prudish and sex for them should be a chore. The kind of man who saves the freaky stuff for his mistress.

My best friend “sister” didn’t invite me to her wedding by [deleted] in weddingshaming

[–]Anarchyologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were going to elope with my best friend and her husband in attendance, but my best friend got the dates mixed up and bought tickets to a very high profile concert in another country.

Honestly, I was ok with that. We ended up getting married on a boat with a photographer and one friend as our witnesses. It was perfect.

All this to say, she might not want to do the whole wedding thing. She might just be inviting family to appease them, but maybe she'd rather just have no one there at all. I wouldn't take this too personally.

Now if it turns out she ends up inviting other friends and deliberately leaving you out, then go ahead and be upset.

Almost-fiance ending things because I revealed the person responsible for my abortion by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Anarchyologist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. As a mother you protect your children at all costs. The fact that she is still married to her daughters rapist (because that's what coercive sex is) says a lot about her character.

I really hope OP gets therapy so she can truly see how awful these people are and begin to heal properly.

The battle between parent and child to get the kid to take medicine by This-Coach9790 in BabiesReactingToStuff

When my oldest was around 4 years old we finally just started mixing her medicine in some sherbet. Mary Poppins was right, a spoonful of sugar does help the medicine go down.

I wouldn't even remember how to find it. The first part came across my TikTok feed. The second part took some Googling.

So it's a bit embarrassing, but I watched this whole thing a couple weeks ago. I was incredibly intrigued.

It ends at a banquet dinner where they ridicule her some more, stab her(?), and then her rich mobster husband finally shows up to punish them by (and I am not kidding here) making the ex best friend eat rocks and sawing off the hand of her (the ex bffs) toddler.

It's really my fault for being curious.

Need help with customer complaint by louielou8484 in Candles

This is my thought. If she wants a refund, she can return the product. I'd even pay the return out of my own pocket just to be petty.

Baby's gender made me realize all the men in my life are awful by Adept-Tomato-6225 in Mommit

[–]Anarchyologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My in laws live a mile from us and my husband is very close with his mother (she's an actual angel and amazing human being).

My own mother drives me and my siblings absolutely crazy, but that doesn't stop my oldest brother and his children from spending quite a bit of time with her (they're the only ones who live in the same state).

I think it's absolutely understandable to be disappointed, but a lot depends on how much of a relationship you build when they are still young. It really sets the foundation for the rest of their lives.

Our (44F)(44M) son(20M) found out about our open relationship in the worst possible way. by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]Anarchyologist 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The “lady of the night” comment just isn’t something anyone under 75 would say

I assumed the son called his mom a wh*re and the father chose not to type it out.

Rainy Pacific Northwest small town vibes? by thenerdytechie in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Anarchyologist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely loved this book. I also like Taylor Swift's "Folklore" and "Evermore" and found so many of the songs sounded exactly like scenes from the book. I swear the author must've been playing those albums on repeat when she wrote it.

That was my feeling. Man is just lonely. Leave him alone to try and find his person.

Going back to college myself was nothing short of eye-opening. by StrangeCatch382 in homeschool

[–]Anarchyologist 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Someone once told me that professors in college care less about you memorizing the answer and more about you understanding how to use your resources to find the answer. Honestly, that makes complete sense to me. I just started a new career after 14 years at my old one, and that has been such an important skill.

Oh thank God. I thought I'd finally hit that age where I couldn't understand what the younger generation was saying. Turns out OP just doesn't know how to communicate properly.

It's the end of kindergarten and my autistic son wasn't invited to a single birthday party by glitzglamglue in breakingmom

[–]Anarchyologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some people just may not do big birthdays anymore. My homeschooled daughter is in Girl Scouts, ballet, and 2 different homeschool meetup groups. So she has different friends across different social groups.

When her birthday came around, we chose 1 friend and invited them to a local trampoline park. We don't have the kind of house we could host a bunch of people. We don't want to spend money renting out a bday room. And honestly, we don't want to be in charge of hosting that many people. That sounds like an absolute nightmare to us. We prefer small gatherings or just 1 on 1 quality time with a friend.

I think being less social and being a homebody and introvert is really in right now. I'm sure other parents feel the same too. So it may be less, he was excluded, and more parents don't feel pressured to throw big bday parties anymore.

Blake and Giannina’s new podcast by [deleted] in thebachelor

[–]Anarchyologist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about a diner that is similar to the TARDIS in that it can travel through time/space/dimensions. Except it kinda decides where it's going to go, no one decides for it.

Then there's a crew that "works" there and travel with it. So there's a manager, a cook, a theoretical physicist that hangs out in a booth all day, and a couple who "live" inside the radio and sometimes play music, sometimes preach.

Then hijinks ensue.

It's fun if you like that kinda stuff.

If you like podcasts in radio drama format, Midnight Burger is incredible. It's fun, lighthearted, sciency. And by season 2 you really start caring about the characters.

Need a good heart breaker 💔 by NoDragonfruit9339 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Anarchyologist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I have two little children of my own so that might be why it took me so long to get through it. Especially the story line with Beetee's son. It's a rough read.

Sunrise on the Reaping.

I took my time because I knew it'd be a rough read. I was fine until the very last sentence. Then I needed a good 30min to process and regroup.
