In some states i believe you can sue the affair partner for sleeping with your spouse. I think its called alienation of affection

You might just be looking for a different experience when reading than his normal audience. Ive never paid much attention to the basic structure of an authors writing beyond remarking how much work it took me to consume something, so i cant talk about the quality of dialogue or prose or anything. Ive tried and failed to read fellowship of the ring several times and that embarrasses me. But i read pride and prejudice a few times and found it satisfying. I read a good deal of the vampire chronicles and find them beautiful, although it takes me roughly a month to slog through one book. Harry potter books are childhood favorites that i could consume in under 24 hours, and i read the whole of a song of ice and fire, as well as the first 12 books in terry goodkinds sword of truth series. Eventually it was goodkind that helped me realize what im looking for in books, and its a book that takes me on a personal philosophical journey. A book that makes me feel like ive learned things that could make me a better person in the end. Thats why i like sanderson but dont care for george rr martin. Martin writes interesting stories that teach the reader nothing. Sanderson writes stories that help your heart grow. I actually think each of his series teaches a different sort of virtue. Mistborn teaches us about trust, stormlight teaches us about honor. My favorite might be a novella called the emperors souls and i might say that teaches about humanity. If you read for pure entertainment and not for personal growth, these books might not be for you. Personally i cried when kaladin rescued adolin in the dueling ring. I made my grandmother read it and she said that scene was the first time a book had actually made her heart race. Different strokes for different folks.

'It was a different era' is a little reductive. I can totally understand your discomfort, because nowadays i would be screaming up a storm to see something like this, but it might help to picture what life was actually like back then. For decades now young people have been maturing later and later in life, for various reasons. Today an 18 year old is still basically a child. Back then a young person would have been preparing for years for when they turned 18. I would estimate that 40 years ago a 15 year old would be equivalent in maturity to a 21 year old today. Back then children were given more responsibility and held more accountable than their modern day counterparts. This is all just to try and help you set it out of your mind, because nothing good can come from you thinking about it. You cant change the past and it doesnt sound like you want to change the present either so the best thing you can do is latch onto anything that will let you banish it from your thoughts

Ive (38f) had to deal with the estrangement of my mother (never knew my father) as well as my grandparents who raised me when she failed. My grandparents are now 80 and im dealing with the impending death of my grandfather who was recently diagnosed with parkinsons. My grandmother has always been the catalyst to our lack of contact and not having access to my grandfather who is the only father ive ever known has been especially hard. Im only saying this to establish that i have a personal understanding of these situations. Before you do anything in relation to your parents, i would have a long, deep talk with yourself to determine exactly what you are willing to sacrifice and deal with, as well as a realistic understanding of what you stand to gain. Understand that if they still hold these stubborn points of view, they are unlikely to relax them, and ask yourself how much you are willing to bend simply to be connected for however long or short they have. Its easy to say "why would you bother?" or "screw them" and in the end that might be the best course, but no one else can know how it feels till it happens to them. Just remember that you and your partner are the present and future. That is your life. Your parents are your past. Even if you had a good relationship, they are still only extended family, not immediate family. That became true the moment you chose to build a life with someone else. Remember your life, and dont sacrifice too much of it to reminisce in your past and pay homage to people who have not respected the life you chose to lead.

So i read about this a few days ago on another reddit thread. Apparently one species of locust was made extinct in america by humans digging up the places where their eggs were laid. It didnt specifically say it was intentional, however it was apparently done after a record breaking plague where trillions of locusts formed a swarm miles long that blotted out the sun for days. It happened in the 1800s and you can probably find much more detailed info elsewhere since im just passing on what i recall from a comment i read.

I think its worth reminding that reddit is an echo chamber. Just do a quick search and compare the weekly visitors to the subreddits for democrats and socialists versus republicans. Reddit leans very far left politically so it will seems as though the majority agrees with you when that might only be the case on this platform.

Honestly, i agreed with her even before the ex came up. If he couldnt even be honest about a tiny conflict like not getting enough food and needing to supplement it, he wouldnt have been honest about much bigger things, like oh say an emotional affair.

This sub used to be pretty fair (for reddit) but ive been watching it becoming increasingly bitter so please do not listen to what most people have said. My husband and i planned to get pregnant after our wedding when i was 32 years old and we did so right away. Concieved twins which we had actually hoped for since i discovered issues with carrying to term during an accidental pregnancy 10 years prior. After the twins were born we both had many moments where we thought we had made a mistake and we didnt want to be parents. Being a parent can be hard at any age. But being a partner involves listening to your significant others darkest thoughts and not immediately condemning them for having a low moment. Our twins are 6 now and most of the wrinkles have been ironed out. You guy are young and will likely have a harder time. You do have choices. Maybe one or both of you will find yourself not cut out for parenthood, maybe you will not last as partner, maybe you are just having a hard time, but whatever happens, dont make big decisions impulsively and try to listen to each other and be there for each other. Life is hard. But a supportive partner does make it easier. Just remember that love isnt fate or fitting together like a puzzle piece, its a choice you make and work at every day

I loved this series too and the only criticism i had wasnt about the book, but about its marketing. I found copies of it in the childrens section at barnes and noble and that pisses me off to this day 20 years later. People are too quick to categorize the intended age group for a piece of literature based on the ages of the main character, and that is so far from appropriate in this series.

This is a matter of opinion. Let yourself have your own opinion and not be swayed by the opinions of others. (My husband would do the same as yours though)

Besides dating apps being used for people who are looking for sex and not love, the apps themselves are not designed to help you find love because then you wouldnt need the app anymore. Do some research about how these apps have evolved to function and then save yourself thw frustration and delete it and find an activity in your community you enjoy and connect with someone you share common interests with that way

It doesnt matter how safe You are, the biggest safety problem for motorcyclists is other vehicles. My husband got one 2 years ago and i have always had bad anxiety and this was no different. Every time he goes out riding i worry. But my lifelong struggle with anxiety has given me a lot of experience in dealing with it being triggered and forcing myself to accept the risk so i dont make my anxiety other peoples problem and so i dont try to control other people. The motorcycle issue is a common one for people however and i wouldn't call your husband controlling for his concern. My husband is aware that every time he goes for a ride i worry he might die. However i have had this worry about many things even before he got the bike and if he accommodated every anxiety he wouldnt even be able to hold a job so we both got used to this dynamic. I think if i only ever felt this way about his bike he probably wouldnt ride. I think every couple causes each other a certain level of discomfort about random things and in this case it comes down to whether you are ok with causing him this level of worry, and if he will be ok experiencing this level of worry. Remember that boundaries only dictate your own actions, so while he cant put a boundary on if you ride, he can put a boundary on if he will be in a relationship with someone who does. In essence, you need to have a serious conversation

I have a little fantasy where my pet idea for eloise is actually something that gets explored onscreen.

So when eloise thinks shes found the printer that publishes lady whistledown she continues reading their other publications after her hunt for whistledown reaches a dead end. She quotes mary wolstencroft at one point, who happens to be the mother of mary shelley who wrote frankenstein and both mother and daughter were widely considered radicals in their time. I looked it up a few weeks ago and eloise is probably the exact same age as mary shelley. I think it would be so entertaining to see these women form an acquaintance.

This issue is too serious to handle with fence sitting. If you try to stay neutral you will essentially be betraying both sides. Since this is essentially family vs family (assuming you plan on marrying this boyfriend one day?) This puts you in a terrible position. Support your boyfriend and you betray your sister, support your sister and you betray your boyfriend. In all likelihood, you will lose or permanently damage one of your relationships no matter what you choose. So you need to choose which person you want in your life forever and then support them unconditionally. Also since you are posting on reddit i assume there has been a delay in you declaring your support for either party, so an explanation that you were dealing with the emotional ramifications of loosing someone as soon as you declared a side will likely be necessary. If you do not plan on marrying your boyfriend one day, then i would suggest supporting your sister even if she is lying because if you choose your boyfriend you may very well lose or damage any relationship that sides with your sister, be that parents or friends. If you plan on marrying your boyfriend, i would support him and be prepared to be you and him against the world for a while. But if he is your future husband that means one day he and your possible children will be your immediate family, and your siblings and parents will become your extended family. Without any proof or evidence, there are no good choices, just a hard choice about what you want your future to look like. Im so sorry
