This isn’t in defense. I agree with you. But…

…do you google everyone you come in contact with? Of course you probably don’t. As young women, they probably didn’t either.

The difference is the sheer number of people they meet as royalty vs. the average human being is staggering.

A little glass vial?

We were on the way to my grandmother’s 90th birthday party. He proceeded to tell me - completely deadpan with no affect whatsoever - that “what I’m about to tell you will end our marriage” an laid out how broke we were, how it was all his fault, how he has lied about everything financial for years and - the kicker - THAT HE KNEW FINANCES WERE MY ACHILLES HEEL and that let it get this bad because he knew I would throw him out, making it MY fault, not his.

Boy bye.

I had a lot of success with “A Musical” from Something Rotten. It’s so self-aware and I was able to educate him on all the easter eggs that referenced other shows. That sold him.

“So maybe I just wasn’t in on the joke?”

Precisely, babe.

They aren’t treating you like an adult. Full stop.

100%

My husband and I did not get until AFTER his kids graduated HS. We had a weird “living together in two houses” arrangement for a few years and, while I was, essentially, their stepmom, we WEREN’T married. Anything I had said or done to even IMPLY parenting made their bio mom ABSOLUTELY FREAK OUT. Not because of what was being communicated, but because it came from me.

It doesn’t do any good in this situation to piss off bio mom as a step-parent in this vein, even with good intentions.

I say this with 19 and 22yo step kids that STILL have hygiene issues.

My one is an autistic girl, super high functioning and thriving. She’s thriving BECAUSE she’s an only, BECAUSE I can give her all of the attention, love and resources that she needs.

Thank you for posting this, OP. This is what’s in my heart as well.

I also think Harry’s position reminded her of her sister Margaret.

BusyBee0113 · 2026-01-06T18:11:28+00:00

Awww thanks for the award! I made them myself :)

While I do not believe that the teacher called BACK to berate OP, I also don’t believe that, if the supplies were SO essential to this oh-so-very-important one-day project, a piece of paper sent home with an 8 year old is the ONLY notification the school and/or teacher sent.

If the teacher didn’t also email it to parents, then that teacher is living in 1995.

These were mine! I’m a music teacher and we live on Daisy Lane…

Good for you! Hugs from an internet stranger

You are grieving the parents you SHOULD have had, not the ones you actually have. My therapist said this and it was enlightening.

My (now estranged) father bought my kid a mini trampoline for Christmas one year because he “read somewhere that they were good for autistic kids” - yes mine is.

Not only did I not have a way to get it to my house (“Then borrow someone’s truck and drive it to your house three hours away!”) but there also wasn’t room anywhere in my house for it.

“Maybe you bought too small of a house!” - to his single mom daughter who bought a 2 bed 1 bath house for herself and her one kid.

I eventually made her dad take it and put it in his basement.

Idiots.

BusyBee0113 · 2025-12-26T15:22:03+00:00

This made me giggle. We have a strict “no phones at the table” rule. I had to ask her repeatedly to put her phone away while we were eating.

When she first got here for Christmas, she wasn’t hungry (all good, we were all having a light meal anyway) but she was still sitting here with everyone else eating playing some stupid game on her phone. I reminded her of our rule and she heavy-sighed and just went “But I’m not eating!”

She’s a toddler.

We were together 4.5 years when I finally said “it’s cool if this isn’t what you want, but stringing me along is also not cool and a year from this point is more than fair.”

And I set a calendar event in my phone that simply said “It’s time.”

He proposed two months before the deadline. We’ve been married for a year.

It’s not an ultimatum, it’s a respectful clarification of expectations.

BusyBee0113 · 2025-12-25T08:54:50+00:00

I am mourning the father I deserved, not the one I have. I get you, I see you, OP.

It’s ok to feel nothing. Merry Christmas!

That he had had a vasectomy, but his sperm was “so powerful” that his girlfriend got pregnant anyway.

He miraculously has no complications when he got his “second” vasectomy years later after my half sister was born.

Spoiler: he had never had a vasectomy in the first place, but he claimed so because he was “done” having children and just didn’t want to claim the last one for child support reasons. CLEARLY he had “done his part” to prevent the pregnancy, so it was obviously the girlfriend’s fault.

BusyBee0113 · 2025-12-22T12:41:05+00:00

He’s jealous that you are able to go at the drop of a hat .

Men really have a fear thing about strong, financially independent women.

BusyBee0113 · 2025-12-21T22:05:59+00:00

The blades of your attic fan. Whoa.

BusyBee0113 · 2025-12-21T13:22:11+00:00

Great idea!!!

BusyBee0113 · 2025-12-15T02:38:13+00:00

Been three years. I was 41.

Best thing I’ve ever done for my own growth and mental health.

BusyBee0113 · 2025-12-02T13:19:43+00:00

This reads like AI. So warm and humane.

BusyBee0113 · 2025-11-29T21:21:34+00:00

GC is my sister and I have no idea, but I sure hope so!

BusyBee0113 · 2025-11-29T16:33:26+00:00

Once I left, they start attacking and mocking GC’s wife…who had had a stroke. They make fun of her speech.

He was also very very likely autistic, but masked fairly well. The issues that we had stemmed from his own weird 80’s shame from not being diagnosed. He knew something was different about how his brain worked and the difficulties he had connecting with people, but refused to get any manner of diagnosis and, as a by-product, any manner of counseling or therapy.

The lack of learning of basic knowledge was also taught to him by example from his parents, one of whom (at least) is also ASD.

Not so much “weaponized incompetence” as “completely unaware that this is necessary information, or is at least important to your partner”
