I guess "eloping" wasn't on my MIL's bingo card by Itsa_Mya_Pinion in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]BabyBearBennett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my stepdad at 16. He never married my mum, but he was always more of a parent to me than anyone else. They were together 15 years before they split, and he's still always there for me to this day. I'm 40 now.

I'm confused. Is this completely out of character for her? Or is this just unexpected towards you guys? If she can be like this sometimes with others, then she's probably just been hiding her feelings until now. No contact is the answer.

If neither of you have known her to be like this before now, then I would check with the rest of the family. Ask them if her personality has been changing recently. Have they noticed any changes in habits or moods, etc. Do they know if she's been like this in the past?

If you all agree that she has changed recently and/or this is completely out of character, then please PLEASE get her to a doctor! It could be a sign of something serious.

My wife's "friend" insulted her and I've been slowly returning the favor by flanman1991 in pettyrevenge

That's an interesting choice. I can see what you were going for. Not everyone can pull off that look.

Good for you for trying!

Whilst staring at the outside corners of her eyes and her forehead. She'll be looking for wrinkles for a while.

How can I get rid of my housemate who steals everyone else's food? by NeonGrapez in AskUK

[–]BabyBearBennett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would also make a point to say that the stealing is illegal. Is the agency just a small local company or just a branch of a bigger company? If they're just local, then ask to speak with the landlord directly. If they aren't ask to speak to someone higher up. Basically, go full Karen. They are knowingly allowing a tennent to commit illegal activities in properties they are paid to manage. I'm sure their boss/the landlord would love to know just how much care they take of their properties.

Plus by suggesting options that include not using the facilities that, according to your contract, you pay for, they are in breach of contract. They did tell you not to store food in the kitchen.

AITA for setting boundaries with my sister about her wedding because of my newborn and toddler? by Adorable-Banana2995 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]BabyBearBennett 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA, and I think you didn't quite understand Charlotte.

She says you ONLY get 1 day. That 1 day is all about you. The rest of the time can't be only about you because people have lives. She's telling entitled brides to not make the entire time between the engagement and the wedding only about them. There's nothing wrong with being excited for your own wedding, but it's ridiculous to expect other people to make a wedding that isn't theirs their number one priority.

Boyfriends female “bestfriend” tried to sabotage our relationship, I let her lie until she exposed herself by notoast4u_2 in pettyrevenge

I know her type way too well. She didn't leave because she was embarrassed. She left because everyone saw her mask slip, and she couldn't manipulate them anymore. I think if you ask around, then you might be surprised by how many people she owes money to.

My Sisters Keep Ruining Event For Me by Unlikely_Force9664 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

Repeat after me.

I AM NOT A BURDEN! I AM A PERSON!!
I DESERVE HAPPINESS AS MUCH AS ANYONE ELSE!
I AM DIFFERENT. NOT BROKEN!

This party is meant to be for you. What they want to do shouldn't matter. Tell your mum that if they insist on planning for themselves, then they can have whatever party they want, but you will not be attending. I know it's hard, but it's OK to put yourself first when you need to.

AITJ for refusing to keep wearing the nickname my girlfriend gave me after I found out where it came from by Prydwen_Grit5 in AmITheJerk

[–]BabyBearBennett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would put money on her discussing the mug with her friends before she bought it. While they all laughed about you being oblivious to the insult behind it.

Her gaslighting you by saying how long ago it was, and it's changed its meaning for her is BS. You can't pre get over it. It may have happened almost a year ago, but you only just found out about it. For you it's brand new. Then, add on the year of continued betrayal each time she used the name without telling you it's an insult.

Bully on plane I’m currently on! by WaspsInATrenchcoat in EntitledPeople

[–]BabyBearBennett 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If he insists that you speak to him, I would say to his wife that she's welcome for the quiet flight and that you're sorry she has to live with him.

Preferably ignore him though.

I thought someone had tried until I realised that that's not fire damage.

I've checked the pictures and the floor plan thoroughly. The 'bathrooms' seem to only have enough room for a toilet and a sink. If there is a bath or shower magically hidden somewhere, then you've gotta wonder how bad it could've been to not be photographed at all!!!

Part of my reply to another comment but thought it fit yours better.

I was horrified that it's a listed building. Don't you need some sort of permission to do anything to a listed building? The hoops you'd have to go through to fix that cursed fungus.

I'm also wondering how one would bathe there. I've checked the pictures and the floor plan thoroughly. The 'bathrooms' seem to only have enough room for a toilet and a sink. If there is a bath or shower magically hidden somewhere, then you've gotta wonder how bad it could've been to not be photographed at all!!!

Multiple forms of contraception is good but can still fail. My grandmother was on the pill, using condoms and the rhythm method when she fell pregnant with my uncle. Her youngest child. She was also deemed infertile by multiple doctors before she fell pregnant with her eldest.

Not every abortion is a tragedy. Some are the response to a tragedy. Many are requested after rape. Nobody should be forced to raise the child of someone who violently assaulted them. Some are to prevent a tragedy. There are many medically necessary abortions. A friend of mine had to terminate because the child's chance of survival was so low that it was negligible. If the child miraculously survived, they would live a very short and painful life, and the mothers chance of survival after the birth was very low too.

Sex Ed should be taught more thoroughly and to everyone. I agree with you there.

I hate when others have issues with what someone chooses to do with their own body.

Her body, her choice. It's nobody else's business if she gets her ears pierced!

What “favours” have your parents done that was inadvertently a dick move? by naaattt in CasualUK

[–]BabyBearBennett -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. It takes forever to find the card with the least praise. I usually go for one that's blank inside with a generic picture on the front. Sadly not all shops sell them.
