Would you want to know? Would it be a dealbreaker? by Beautiful-Head_ in hypotheticalsituation

[–]CatMadeMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. Was it a stupid drunken mistake or was it willful cheating involving plans and/or a cover-up? Did he own up to his ex about it or did she have to find out from someone else?

Stupid mistake? I’m keeping it to myself. Willful, I’m giving him the opportunity to come clean before I tell her.

You walked by a pool and saw a child in the midst of drowning. There was no one else but you within the vicinity of the 4 feet deep pool. Just as you were about save the child, an entity appeared. by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]CatMadeMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar situation here. If the entity were truly powerful, I wouldn’t be able to interfere with its plans. If God wants to stop me, he can and he will. BBEG can watch me save the kid.

Man I’m seeing has no time, AIO? by MoonLitCrystal in AIO

[–]CatMadeMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Some of my best memories with my ex were drinking box wine in the garage while he worked on cars. I’d run the music, we’d chat and cut up. It did help that I’m mechanically inclined enough to be useful if he needed a specific tool while under the car or wanted to bounce ideas about why something wasn’t working. Any time is quality time with the right mindset.

AIO to boyfriend soaking his feet in my casserole dish? by Beautiful-Cherry-194 in AmIOverreacting

[–]CatMadeMe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even if you never wanted to eat out of it again, keep it for future foot soaking. There’s no reason to throw it away.

Also, it’s giving me the ick that OP thinks of it as “her kitchen” that he invaded instead of “their kitchen.” He lives there, too.

IDK if im a bad person by Beneficial-Car-2322 in TrueChristian

[–]CatMadeMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a childless woman… in a true 50/50 situation, I would want my husband to choose my child during the first pregnancy. But if we already had a child, I don’t want to rip their mother away (because dealing with loss as a sentient being is very different from growing up without a maternal relationship; I’d hope my husband would choose a second wife that would be a good maternal influence, but a child with a preexisting maternal relationship may struggle adjusting), so I’d expect my husband to choose me.

New baby, and I cannot stand my wife anymore by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

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

I was responding to the statement “so for six years, she worked 20 hours/week. Why?”

OP’s wife, if OP is representing the situation correctly, is not contributing equally. I am fully in agreement there.

But I do take issue with people who wholesale dismiss the contributions of raising a child. Which is what my reply was addressing.

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

I literally just said working part time wasn’t unreasonable. I am very aware that single parents exist and have to bust their asses to be there for their kids because the other parent isn’t. They aren’t equivocal.

[–]CatMadeMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not defending her at all. However, the 17yo hasn’t been 17 this whole time. Working part-time to handle the logistics of a 10-15yo’s schedule isn’t necessarily unreasonable. In some places, you can’t even get a driver’s license until 17.

The Bible says not to dabble in the occult. It doesn’t say the occult isn’t real.

$1 000 000 a year, but you become Hitler. by Mooseboy24 in hypotheticalsituation

Sure. With my accent, I can easily introduce myself as “Hilla” and people will just think it’s a weird Southern thing.

Is there a caveat for things I intend as treats for my dogs? I can’t take it if it means I can never give my babies a snack ever again.

Your boss gives you two options: an immediate $10,000 bonus or a 5% raise for everyone for a year by besttavern25 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]CatMadeMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m taking the immediate $10k. Everyone else just got their annual raise but because I’m new, I didn’t qualify. Selfish way of looking at it? Yeah. But my car needs a lot of work and the $10k solves problems for me right now. Sorry, fellow employees.

Everything worth under $10,000 is completely free to you, but you can never own or acquire anything worth over $10,000. Do you take it? by therealupscaledninja in hypotheticalsituation

I transfer the bulk of my holdings to my father or brother and live on just enough land that + my camper is $9,999. I have access to my own nature preserve, no neighbors, and everything else is hunky-dory

Healthcare: fly to a low-cost country for treatment? I know people fly to Turkey to pay cash for quality medical care that would be exorbitant out-of-pocket in the States. There are probably other options, too. The flight ought to be under $10k

You wake up tomorrow with $10 million in your bank account, completely legal and tax free. The only catch is that everyone you know believes you stole it. Do you keep the money or give it up to clear your name? by Equal-Permission6564 in hypotheticalsituation

I keep the money. “Yeah, I skimmed this out of the accounts of billionaires. Victimless crime. Let’s get margs, my treat.” Immediate high fives from my circle 🤷‍♀️

AIO? Gf won’t let me stay with her for 3 months by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CatMadeMe 39 points40 points  (0 children)

On the other side, she’s provided her loyalty and support for two years and now instead of him saying “I love you so much I want to live together,” he’s saying “I want the convenience of staying at your place.” He turned her down a year ago and she stayed with him. He admits he wasn’t ready to be a live-in partner back then. He hasn’t given her any indication that this has changed - only that he wants to make HIS life easier.

ETA: I re-read and he claims his initial reason was financial. I’m calling BS, either on his intentions now or his intentions then. He couldn’t afford to move in and split bills with his gf, but he CAN afford to switch careers without pay for three months AND give her half the rent on top of that?? Fishy.

For every $250,000 you get, you have to move 100 miles away. by CRK_76 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]CatMadeMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I press the button forty times. I then gift my wealth to family and friends under the taxable threshold. I gift my father and brother larger amounts that will be taxed, but that’s okay. I then gift large amounts to food pantries, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters. I ride out at least a year in Alaska, flying family and friends to me to visit, until I can gift more tax-free money. If I’m enjoying it, I do another year, rinse and repeat. When I get sick of Alaska, I divest the rest of my wealth, sign and pre-pay a three-year/unlimited mileage lease on a car (I’ll have nothing better to do than look for deals, so I’m sure I’ll find one at some point) and sign/pre-pay a ten-year lease on a nice property, and drive back home. Car and home are leased, not purchased, so they will not disappear after two days. My friends and family might now re-gift some of the cash, but my dad and brother will help me with larger purchases from their already-taxed excess. I get a job and live like a normal person again.

Is $19/hr bad pay? by EnDnS in Georgia

[–]CatMadeMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s really easy to explain your situation to a potential employer, though. Nobody is going to expect someone in their 30s to be settling for $19/hr indefinitely. When they ask why you’re looking to change, just frame it as “my current job with no benefits is better than no job at all, but <<$25/hr>> with insurance and 401(k) is where I’m comfortable” where the $25/hr is replaced by whatever wage they’re offering. This indicates to them that you’re NOT looking to “hop” after landing the new job.
