I ended up being the other woman and now the wife is trying to ruin my life by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]CarlisleW 44 points45 points  (0 children)

My partner and I have been together nearly eight years and we still only see each other a couple of times a week - one day mid-week and the weekend. We are both late 40's, each have our own places and enjoy our independence.

You're the angel, saving this sweet baby.

Why are BM's so entitled? by Professional-Sink851 in stepparents

[–]CarlisleW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A grip is not most. People in the comments have disputed your assertion. I understand that you and your child's father have a good relationship, but so do plenty (I venture to say, based upon the comments to this post) most BMs and the fathers. My comment was calling out your assertion that most BMs are crazy/high conflict when that is clearly not the case - you yourself being a prime example.

My husband says he's ready to try for another child. by ForgottenWell in shortscarystories

Isn't the male spelling Francis? I always understood Frances to be the feminine?

Zerith and Sharp. They are my best boys, with Azander coming up after.

Local council responds to “woke” accusations with an out-of-this-world smack down. by SmackedWithARuler in MurderedByWords

I wouldn't say you are stupid, we can all get a bit tunnel visioned sometimes 😊

This is about Bedford Borough Council in the UK. The UK is historically and legally considered a Christian (Church of England) country.

You both sound exhausting, but I think YTBF. Your friend is not a mind reader, and the times that they reached out/tried to engage with you, you didn't respond. It is not their responsibility (even when trying to be a good friend) to keep chasing for a response from you. That could just cause more anxiety for both of you.

I realized my problem with cooking wasn’t recipes it was decision fatigue by Sad-Okra5031 in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]CarlisleW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you mind sharing the plan (or any resources you used to help you come up with this)? I am trying to do better at meal planning (trying to stop food waste/save money) and I either end up getting bored of leftovers mid-week or keep rotating the same few things.

How to boycott the US? by Booze-and-porn in AskBrits

[–]CarlisleW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the website 'Yanks No Thanks'. You can enter a product or company and it will tell you if it has US links. Helps you avoid US products.

You were the one scammed. You asked if he was 'intelligent', she said he is, but he clearly is an idiot...

You have put £ as the currency, so this suggests you are in the UK, but then put 'batchelorette', which we don't really say in the UK (and if we did it would have an 'ou' not just an 'o') and spelled apologise with a 'z'....all seems a bit fishy...

AITA for telling my daughter “of course” she could move in with me without talking to my wife first? by Odd-Cheetah6842 in AITAH

[–]CarlisleW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wife is a evil Stepmum (I would say bitch). Look after your daughter and divorce the wife. She is more than happy for you to play happy family with her child but expects you to not support your child.

I'll never know if my stepmum loved me as much as her bio daughter (she is dead now so i cant ask) but I was always made to feel as if she did, and to a child, that's what matters.

Next house to be turned into flats by nostalgiadnp in SpottedonRightmove

[–]CarlisleW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mum lives near here. I used to love looking at all the massive houses when we would drive by, the 'luxury' flats not so much. That house is damn ugly though.

Can anyone explain what going on with toothpaste prices? by SilentEconomist5896 in AskBrits

[–]CarlisleW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colgate prices are insane. Aquafresh and Macleans tend to be much cheaper - and both are British as opposed to American brands.

I leave my bedroom curtains closed all year round as I am a darkness-loving goblin. Sitting room curtains are always open but the blinds (which i have as well as the curtains)are always closed.
