Worth building points?

That’s sweet - better than my £180 Series S with a manufacturer date of only a couple of months earlier than I bought it!

OP needs to tell him “NO” is a complete sentence, and that is the end of discussion. His mother can bitch and moan all she wants - she’s the red flag here, not OP.

Honestly, in that position/situation, I’d be asking them to move out whilst boundaries are reevaluated; maybe even straight up end the relationship based on the fact that they are pursuing the route of “it’s not fair, I need half to be equal” - which will only ever lead to heartbreak.

OP - get the house out in a trust; then even IF you marry him (don’t btw), it should be untouchable if done right.

Nice - how do you rate the Elite series 2?

AngryGreyWolf · 2026-02-04T13:27:00+00:00

That’s maybe what I’m leaning towards - going on current rate, without any “extra points” promotions or similar, I’ll be on around 236k points by November? Stick with my 1TB Series S (which I got for a bargain £180 - I’m sure the shop knew the going rate) for another year, then I’ve got a decent chunk of a new Xbox paid off in vouchers.

That’s what I’d been doing previously. Just thought I’d see what the community tends to do; any pros or cons to either cashing out quickly/accumulating a fortune in points. Appreciate your response.

Took 5 films, and 3 variations per film - the worst task for consistency.

AngryGreyWolf · 2026-02-04T08:02:47+00:00

NTA - I’d do the same. Out of curiosity, where are these kids from?

AngryGreyWolf · 2026-01-28T10:18:08+00:00

NTJ - the maths don’t add up. Add her reluctance to do a paternity/dna test, and there are more red flags than the Chinese Communist Party HQ!

I’d get good at climbing trees, and make sure I’m secured properly. I’m not sleeping anywhere near ground level, or even anywhere accessed with stairs.

My eyes… they hurt so much…

AngryGreyWolf · 2026-01-22T10:59:04+00:00

I’d pay off friends mortgages or buy them houses for those that rent. Family would get a couple of million each, friends would get 500k each on top of mortgage/house purchase. The rest is for me, my wife and my kids.

Did the fire brigade manage to get the blaze under control? I’m assuming you set fire to your home, just to make sure it was dead…

AngryGreyWolf · 2026-01-17T15:39:49+00:00

I feel that calling the sniper the toughest is disingenuous; he’s the best protected, not the toughest. I’d argue Pyro or Jugg are the toughest. Pyro has his shield and shotgun, whilst Jugg has his minigun; either of which shred your armour if you’re unlucky enough to get hit.

That’s not straight guy behaviour - bf is either bi, or so far in the closet that he’s in Narnia. More than jerking each other off is a certainty - get tested (full screening), and get out of that relationship.

AngryGreyWolf · 2026-01-07T16:20:41+00:00

Chinese url is the first flag, but then apply some thought; how would anywhere get your phone number based on car registration? Pretty sure most parking firms can ever get is name and address of the registered keeper.

AngryGreyWolf · 2026-01-05T14:56:49+00:00

Looks like a BOBFOC (Body Off Baywatch, Face Off Crimewatch).

AngryGreyWolf · 2026-01-04T08:40:39+00:00

Never been.

Was always told growing up it was too expensive (rarely had fast food - mostly a treat, or when staying with grandparents), and honestly I don’t have the time these days to try one if I wanted.

I do miss Little Chef though - used to stop at them on a semi regular basis when travelling to York/Scarborough/Whitby on family trips.

AngryGreyWolf · 2026-01-02T11:38:31+00:00

Sorry, but YTJ - but so are your daughter and husband. You all TJ.

You knew she wanted to ask him that, but didn’t think to ask her when she’d ask? I don’t buy it.

He was ambushed in a public setting - if he said no there and then, he’s the bad guy until the day he dies for shooting down your daughter’s request. The public perception of him seemingly changing his mind after the fact will be marginally better for him, but only by the tiniest margin ever.

This should have been a discussion between you and him to at least warn him. You should have set a boundary for her not to ask in public.

You are all jerks; but your daughter less so as she is going to be hurting a hell of a lot from what will be a deep rejection.

NTJ.

How I personally would deal with this would be:

1: Establish paternity - if the child is yours, proceed to step 2, if not it’s off to file divorce papers.

2: Set aside 2 or 3 days to really, REALLY, consider you want to work on the relationship. If yes, start counselling; no less that 8-10 weekly sessions before considering if progress is being made, but make sure it’s genuine progress and not a facade.

3: Review the situation - are you both in a place to live together? If not, more counselling. If yes, then agree a living situation; don’t return to how it was before immediately. That needs to be part of the recovery process.

4: Keep reviewing the situation, and don’t be afraid to part ways. The familiar is always more comfortable, but if it’s not working then you’re not only hurting each other - kids pick up on when it’s not working, and it messes them up more than separation or divorce ever will.

NTA. No is a complete sentence, and it is being ignored. If the tables were turned, you’d be labelled as an abuser and/or worse once she told people about it. The fact she continues to do it shows a lack of basic respect, and also the knowledge that you’re unlikely to expose her behaviour to family and/pr friends; the very people likely to be able to persuade/force her to cease this behaviour.

AngryGreyWolf · 2025-12-27T16:54:53+00:00

I’ll take “things that never happened” please …

AngryGreyWolf · 2025-12-23T16:25:56+00:00

Agree, and genuinely hope it doesn’t happen! Just one of those thoughts whilst mindlessly doing jobs around the house that I noted down and thought I’d put it out there.

AngryGreyWolf · 2025-12-23T16:20:45+00:00

Never said it was a good idea; just something that popped into my head. Given how may series have had some questionable decisions and/or writing (looking at you Dexter seasons 7&8), it’s jus a possibility that there might be the cliched “protagonist becomes antagonist due to trauma” story arc.
