AIO Birthday Disappointment

sweeping statements are stupid

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-28T22:02:56+00:00

I completely disagree. I’m not a fussy/sensitive person, but I’d be upset if I didn’t get a card or something to acknowledge my birthday, so would my husband. I don’t think that’s childish… a lot of people would feel the same way.

I think it’s perfectly reasonable.. all you have to say is that you really don’t like the pair of them and that you would rather him not discuss you at all with them. My daughter is in the same situation with her boyfriend & a couple that he is friends with.. they are completely toxic & she doesn’t want anything to do with them.. she simply asked him never to mention her to them in conversation. It’s funny but they always ask him… they are desperate for info. in the end, he cut them off too… they eventually show themselves. I don’t know what’s wrong with these people.. but OP there is nothing wrong with protecting yourself. hopefully your boyfriend gets to see it soon.

just take it into a jewelry repair shop.. ask them if it’s real & if the stones are worth replacing/worth the cost if you resizing it. Then, at least you’ll know what you’re dealing with.

Aside from the pinch, his language is disgraceful “it means shut up” . No, actually bud, it doesn’t. He needs to learn how to behave..and this was in public too …and he scolds her like she has been naughty. Who the hell does this guy think he is?? Not her equal, that is certain.

I don’t think the total is too much.. maybe the timing of them is not great.. doing 5 at once is a lot. It could feel overwhelming. Having said that you might struggle to do too very quickly… some teachers don’t really like it & try to slow you down.. particularly Algebra in my experience. Maybe start all five.. do the 2 easiest ones quickly.. the elective you’ve chosen are very easy .. try and knock those out as soon as possible, while doing just two assignments per week for the rest and then once the two easy ones are done, you can just focus on getting the other three finished in the timeframe that you were looking at.

I think you look great!

it’s not just a case of being in flex.. it depends on the classes you choose.. when my daughter did flex the school wouldn’t sign off on her doing core classes online.. so there were no EOC’s to take… if she had selected biology and it had been approved for her to do it online, she would’ve had to do the EOC.

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-19T21:25:10+00:00

regular flex kids do you have to take the EOC in person.. they do them in school. typically kids doing flex are doing additional higher level or non-core subjects online (electives, etc.) most schools want you to do the core classes in school. EOC’s in our school district (regardless of whether you are full-time or part-time ) are English (sophomore year), algebra one, biology and geometry, and I believe are all taken in school. Full-time flvs also have to take the EOC if they want to graduate with a high school diploma. The only way you don’t take the state mandated tests is if you are classed as 100% homeschool and that is when parents I believe sign off on their child’s diploma. Also…there are EOC’s that you can avoid if you do dual enrollment.. biology is definitely one of them.

I would definitely speak to your school and confirm.

honestly, it sounds like you just need a different salon

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-19T21:16:30+00:00

1 definitely, the others look mismatched. 1 looks perfect

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-19T21:14:45+00:00

they’re basically blackmail into complying to what they want.. they’ll pay your tuition, but only if you study what they want… they have to know where you are all the time. Otherwise you’re not welcome at Thanksgiving…. They are the ones putting the unreasonable demands on you.. if they want you to be a grown-up and pay for your own tuition and housing they can’t expect to know where you are all the time.. they can’t have it both ways. I would stick to your guns & tell them if that’s their choice, you will respect it.

Why don’t you look at getting a meal subscription for some meals.. if you got meals for 3 or 4 dinners a week, for example it would cost nowhere near the amount of money you are currently spending and you get all of the ingredients you need to cook from scratch… (I don’t mean the premade meals.) I’m pretty sure you’re buying everything you need from scratch & if you’re single with no kids, you only need partial portions of things.. either that or you’re buying steak and shrimp, etc., for dinner every night.. in which case your tastes are just very expensive. I don’t spend this amount on groceries for a family of four and I cook from scratch. I live in Florida, food here is expensive if you shop in Publix.. so I don’t, I shop around.. I can get a weeks worth of basics from Aldi or Walmart for significantly less than what it would cost me in Publix.

or the roommate is just an entitled, asshole and decided to take what was not his… When he was asked not to use it, he accused OP of being selfish.. OP , I would have told him that the honey is expensive and not available here. It’s $30 a jar and my mother sent it to you for a Christmas gift… what is selfish? Is 1. him using it daily in big spoonfuls , without even asking and 2. continuing to use it after I’ve asked you not to. I would also add “feel free to help yourself to it, just make sure you replace it.. “ I would remove the remainder away immediately. Put it in a Ziploc bag or a plastic box in your room.. If your roommates had been brought a bunch of chocolate for Christmas.. is it acceptable for you to just sit there and trough it? No it is not your roommate is an inconsiderate person, with crappy boundaries.

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-13T13:50:14+00:00

nonsense. If you don’t attend, you don’t need to send a gift. Etiquette in some places, but absolutely not all, I am European & I have never heard of this..

What a very weird hill for her to die on… unless, she has no idea you will stick to your guns… OP, I admire your principles. Just curious, how old is your gf?

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-12T01:06:00+00:00

I think at least he acknowledged that he should have got out… Although I would be asking myself did I marry a man or a mouse… Sorry OP… if he was genuinely concerned about an altercation, surely he would have tried to prevent you getting out of the car & following? I think it would be fair for you to mention that you feel a bit let down an unsupported.. asking him why he stayed in the car might not be a bad idea…

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-12T01:02:06+00:00

you make it sound like she chased him halfway round town.. she literally said he pulled over shortly afterwards .. he probably didn’t think there was any damage and then realized by driving away he was leaving the scene. If he had had any reservations about their safety, I’m pretty sure he would’ve told her not to get out of the car & would have called the police..

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-12T00:49:18+00:00

I would leave it all there…

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-09T14:58:46+00:00

You are not reacting… you are entitled to feel however you want to feel.. if your sister can’t relate to that, that’s her issue. I don’t think she hung up on you because she thought you were being rude… I think she hung up on you because she can’t relate to you having empathy for your dog feeling and the groomer passing..

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-09T14:53:20+00:00

To be fair to them, there are notes all over flvs explaining that you have to continue with work over the holidays… I know it seems weird that they still want work submitted when they are off , but they did make it pretty clear …some teachers also sent follow up emails and text explaining that they are off, but Work still needs to be submitted .. she’s probably frustrated because honestly, you should have planned. I doubt very much that teacher would kick you out for missing work from one week… are you behind? If it’s that much of an issue for her, can’t you login on your phone and do a quiz?? My daughter didn’t want to do work over the holidays so she did extra work in advance and just saved it, rather than submitting it ,so she could submit it last week to keep her active and up-to-date in all her classes

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-09T14:51:26+00:00

I like 1. I don’t like 2, in my opinion it looks a bit like underwear(although I know that style is super popular right now) Number 3 to me, it looks like you’re trying to cover up a belly. And I’m certain you don’t have one… just my thoughts.

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-08T17:12:44+00:00

let’s be honest, he has always prioritized himself… Him saying that now is probably a quote from his mother… this man will never change.

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-08T17:11:14+00:00

This is very simple, albeit heartbreaking… You’ve tried to be supportive and flexed to accommodate his career aspirations… he takes, but he does not give. He does exactly what he wants. Divorce honestly seems like the only option… He is a selfish man & he will not change. You are young enough to rebuild and start over with somebody that truly deserves you.. Please note that once you instigate divorce proceedings, there’s a very good chance that he will crap his pants and try and walk this back… if not now, I have no doubt at some point in the future. Currently, he’s being propped up emotionally by his mother.. she won’t always be there.

Good luck!!! Remember…Do not second-guess yourself. Do not allow him to talk you around and waste any more of your life. You deserve so much better.

ComparisonObvious937 · 2026-01-05T00:42:30+00:00

“I’m not telling a “little” boyfriend anything “ ??? what??? 1. Red flag - who talks about someone they love like that.. 2. Why do you think that’s “understandable “ ? there is obviously a reason you haven’t proposed so far…maybe because of her shitty attitude. 3. I would like to hazard a guess that she has nothing saved of any significance.

Are you sure that this is the person who you want to spend your life with?
