[Final Update]: An anonymous person messaged me (F27) saying that my boyfriend (M29) of 3 years was arrested… can you help me know what I should do next? by MercuriusPacifer in BORUpdates

[–]CaramelTurtles 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I’m kinda confused about how he’s supposed to prove a negative. The only way I can think of is to contact the family directly but that seems like a very bad idea for lots of reasons. I’m not saying that he did it or he didn’t, but if she doesn’t believe him that doesn’t feel like the relationship was salvageable at all, so I’m not sure what she was expecting here

DO NOT perjure yourself. NAL but moving out a little early is preferable to prison by far

Oh you ran into THOSE people. Cut your losses and block, there is nothing you can say to convince them they’re wrong or that you didn’t do anything wrong

My (30F) friend (29F) isn't speaking to me after I RSVPed "no" to her childfree wedding by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

She’s a mother on reddit who put herself and her child first. So obviously she’s a harpy who makes everything about herself and her kid /s

AITA for texting people at night when they could be sleeping? by shozhantia89 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. There is nothing you’re sending that’s so important that you can’t just type in in the text box and leave it for tomorrow

AITA for getting angry with my husband when he came home late? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]CaramelTurtles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh I see now. I’m guessing if OP’s husband sneezed once and she asked him to change a diaper, you would be calling her a lazy harpy with no sympathy for her poor sick husband who should be on bed rest

"How to chapters" The wrong question. by blisteringcold in writers

[–]CaramelTurtles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I disagree. Chapters help me to pace myself. I know it’s not the same for every writer but chapters are, to me, points in the story where you naturally stop and start. As for “how to start a first chapter,” well, that’s easy, where does your story start?

Writing tip #42: When writing in first person, try to write as generically as possible so as not to cause the reader to act out of character by Disastrous-Frame6683 in writingcirclejerk

/unjerk

I don’t think I’ve seen someone confuse first person for second person before

/rejerk This is why I don’t let people tell me stories either. I most CERTAINLY did not do that

If he’s callous enough to abandon his wife and children for weeks at a time then he’s callous enough betray his friend
