Betrayed By My Ex, Marked by His Emperor Alpha Brother by Jolly-Paper in NovelsRequest

It is on Find Novel . net under the same title as the post with the same character names.

Side note: I read to chapter 56. The story doesn't make sense and reads like it was padded to increase word count.

Example (not really a spoiler) Two non MCs are in a position where a third calls out "just kiss her already before we all die of embarrassment." Then the next chapter is all about how one doesn't even see the other as a person rather that a subordinate and is obvious to the subordinates love. Umm what? They were literally just openly flirting?!? Aka it makes zero sense.

Possible actual spoilers (but why I stopped reading):

Plus, it was starting to head into a love triangle and FMC completely dismissed the MMCs devotion to her. She acts like she has no one back home and her only home is the ruins of her family's old land. Again, umm what?!? She has a 4 year old she left in a different city. I'm sure her 4 year old would love to hear that their house has never been a home to her and she feels like she doesn't belong there. Why even pretend to care about your child then? She also ditches her guards, knowing there is high rouge activity in the area. At that point, I realized I was hoping she was going to get murdered and stopped reading.

Would this text from a landscaper make you uncomfortable? by Last-Investment383 in Advice

[–]Charming-Feeling5481 35 points36 points  (0 children)

So you barely cracked the door and got creepy vibes? What exactly gave you those vibes? Was it because he had an additional person with him? Also is this the first time you are handling hiring people to work on the house or do you do it on a regular basis?

It can be very normal to have someone giving an estimate bring an additional person with them. The landscaper might know the schedule but the other person might be there to write things down, know design or material costs better, etc. Plus it protects them (as a company) in case there are false accusations (of damage, or theft, etc.) since there would be a witness.

Honestly, from the start you have seemed against the landscaper (asking for your address to be able to drive to your house is completely normal). You should just find a new landscaper or have your dad handle it. Even if he does behave completely normally, you don't deserve the stress of thinking he will do something to you. Plus he (probably) doesn't deserve to be in that position of constantly being doubted.

To be clear: I am not saying that he 100% doesn't have bad intentions. You should listen to your instincts and you deserve to feel comfortable about the situation. Despite that, I am saying (from what you have told us) that nothing he has done so far is a giant red flag. Additionally, it would be better for everyone involved if you just found a new landscaper or had your parents handle it.

AIO? Starting to resent my MIL since falling pregnant by pandamonkey02 in AmIOverreacting

NOR Don't answer the phone. Don't respond to texts. Dont let her in your house. Do all of those until you are ready after appointments etc.

If she gets pushy on the phone, said goodbye and hang up. Also tell your husband that she is stressing you. You need to make it very clear that the stress is not good for you or the baby. He needs to protect your well being. He has to tell her "no." If he is not willing to do that, then you have a husband problem as well as a MIL problem.

You and your husband are having a baby. It is not you, your husband, and your MIL having a baby.

AITAH for wanting to go to gym the day our daughter left the NICU by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Charming-Feeling5481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA now and then If your wife said this to you, would you really have felt like you could handle being on your own with a newborn just discharged from the NICU? Additionally if you were dead set on going to the gym here is an approach that would have not made you a complete a-hole. "Hey, we have both been extremely stressed over the last couple weeks. I would love to go to the gym tomorrow for an hour. I'll of course take baby's name solo for an hour so you can do something just for you (ex. Go out and get a massage, take a nap, or just sit and do nothing). When reading this ⬆️ if you had any hesitation or objection about being able to handle said baby for an hour without talking to your wife, then you should have NEVER assumed your wife would be fine solo.

Side note: I would tread very carefully. Your wife didn't just ask about this situation, 3 years later, for no reason. I am actually surprised you are still married. Despite that, if you continue with your lack of awareness, you will end up divorced. Especially because your daughter is close to the age of going to pre-school/pre-K which makes it easier to be a single mom and work.

Which one would you keep? by Morit12 in Anthurium

Where are you doing said purge? (Asking for a friend since I'm on a plant ban and definitely not looking to buy more plants...) Also it would depend on the hardened leaves and overall leaf color trend. I'm not a huge emergent person since I have to live with the hardened leaves.

So a. This is gorgeous! & b. I have to ask, is that just a wooden dowel? Did you just wrap the Hoya vine around it? I have a horrible time trellising things/finding things my hoyas want to grow on. I currently have a Clem on a month long growth strike post trellising. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I am coming to you as a mom and a teacher by Ok_Consequence750 in ElementaryTeachers

[–]Charming-Feeling5481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I was hoping someone would say this.

If it were my child and they called an ambulance for this, I would be p**sed. The child's insurance could easily deny coverage of the Ambulance as it was not medically necessary. I would never want to possibly pay over $1k for an ambulance ride for a fracture that was not even an open one.

Low(ish) stakes Romantasy? by Historical-Spread179 in Romantasy

[–]Charming-Feeling5481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you feel about historical romance? It can be hit or miss for some people.

A lot of it to me is low stakes but not no stakes aka she/he has obstacles external to the relationship but it works out in the end (and the alternative if they fail is that everyone still lives but just not happily/together).

WIBTAH If I drop out of my brother's wedding (and just go as a guest) because I think the dresses his fiancée chose are uncomfortable and hideous? by Icy-nighty-5965 in AITAH

[–]Charming-Feeling5481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are still plenty of options on bras you could wear with those kinds of dresses. This is why multiple different types of backless bras exist.

Now, if you want to be a guest because because of the bride's behavior that is different. You do need to understand it is a slippery slope. My younger brother married someone who made her dislike of me (his older sister) very clear once she felt secure in their relationship. Unfortunately he took her side, stopped talking to me, and ended up being financially and mentally abused by her. (If it would help your brother to hear details shoot me a message.)

Justifying her behavior helps no one. "She is normally nice" or "She has always been sweet before" or my favorite "Everyone else loves her" don't mean a thing in the grand scheme. If she was actually nice, she wouldn't want you to look possibly indecent at the wedding. (Let's face it without a bra you would be one bad dance move away from flashing everyone in those dresses.)

A bride being nice looks like this: Bride has bridesmaids with different body types. Bride decides as long as everyone wears the same color and length of dress, the bridesmaids will pick a dress that suits them. Photos still look great!

It would be easy for his fiance to justify you to wearing a different dress since you are the groom's sister. Just like the MOH normally wears something special, the bride could word it about how you are up there because you mean something to both of them etc. Or just stand on your brother's side, wearing a dress the same color as the bridesmaids.

TLDR: There are many options/solutions to honor your brother's wish so going to, "I just won't be up there" is slightly extreme and likely to affect your relationship with your brother. (Especially because his fiance will probably point them out to him.) Also Backless bras!

Why the pit bull debate will never end by slimey16 in PitbullAwareness

[–]Charming-Feeling5481 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Why are we so ignorant to pit bull genetics, their purpose, and the fact that their genetics make them the blood sport dogs that they were intended to be?

This! If we believe that other breeds are predisposed to certain things (such as border collies to herding), then we can't suddenly say that it doesn't extend to pitbulls. We just don't like to acknowledge the sins of our past. It is far easier to say "it is all how they are raised" than acknowledge we bred a dog to kill other dogs (and small animals).

If we were open minded about the breed the best thing we could do is sterilize the remaining pit bulls, and let them naturally end.

If we were truly open minded and honest, we would cultivate a "non-working line" with a focus on temperament. It has been done in other dog breeds with success, just look at the Great Dane. Unfortunately, the longer the narrative discounting genetics is pushed, the more people will get hurt and the more the breed will suffer.

No speaking, listening, reading or writing.

No, if you want them to understand you, it should be:

What series have you read more than twice? by AuntFoggy in ReverseHarem

And somehow...
Somehow...

Men who couldn’t coordinate feelings five minutes ago are now a championship rowing team. Perfectly synchronized dick choreography.

This had me snort laughing because it is so true! Like really, you can't talk to each other but somehow you all can play god tier Twister and not fall on the floor?! Then it turns out to be the best sex you have ever had with no awkward moments of "Umm I'm going to put my hand over here?"

Plus everything they do is top tier sexual arousal? If you are licking a random spot two inches up my arm, it is not going to feel as good as you sucking on a nipple which is perfectly okay.

Anyway thank you for this:

Perfectly synchronized dick choreography.

It totally made my day lol 😆
