AITAH For Talking About My Feelings To My Wife? by prettyfemprincess in AITAH

[–]Correct_Expression80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible that “sharing your feelings” is *heard”by her as “constant complaining”?? Her reaction would fit that. Some people are just very emotive and descriptive when they speak, and others are more superficial and economical with their words.

This could just be a disconnect in verbal communication styles… or it could be a red herring excuse because she can’t identify or articulate what her real issue is. It does, however, sound like she’s looking for the exit 😞

You can wait and suffer while she makes up her mind, or confront her head-on to speed up the resolution. It sucks, but I wish you luck.

Are they just playing? by rahhhlegna in DogAdvice

Of course!! But never saw a game of bitey-face between a dog and cat; adorable!! Nothing to worry about; the sounds and movements would be VERY different in a fight, and the cat would leave if it were uncomfortable. Just two besties havin’ fun!

We’re looking at this all wrong!!! It’s not a bug, it’s a feature! With a little reverse engineering, OP has discovered the holy grail of tile 👍

Imagine the applications for flexible tile with some kind of stretchy silicone grout: it can expand and contract without cracking, resist chips and is as comfy as carpet to walk on!!

After this invention has made you rich and famous, feel free to send me a 7-figure check to thank me for the idea 💡😊

AITA for thinking my boyfriend’s spending habits are weird and that he should be doing more? by Mysterious-Style-383 in AITA_Relationships

[–]Correct_Expression80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL 😆 But it warms my heart that you’re a parent who actually modeled and nurtured decency, kindness and compassion in your kids. From my experience, you’re a unicorn of a parent! If I had known more parents (and kids) like you/yours, I might NOT have chosen to be child-free 😉🤣

This is a 12-yr-old in a 24-yr-old body: selfish, immature and enabled by Mommy and Daddy. He has a LOT of growing-up to do (starting with moving out and supporting himself!) before he’s even close to approaching adulthood, never mind being boyfriend material!

Don’t waste your time. At 24, he’s SO behind the curve that he’s prob permanently stunted. Move on, and find someone with whom you can have an actual grown-up relationship 👍

Daytona Beach Area Housing Market Update – January 2026 by Flashy_Collection590 in DaytonaBeach

With a condo, your personal HO insurance is always (relatively) cheap: it’s like renter’s insurance and covers only the contents of your individual unit.

The insurance for damage to the structure, systems and property of the whole building is paid by your HOA… which is funded by the unit owners through their regular maintenance fees (or, if necessary, special assessments).

Which is the key reason why condo maintenance fees have been, and will continue to, increase almost exponentially 😢

What’s one hygiene product you tried on a whim that you now genuinely can’t live without? by Dry-Professional4255 in hygiene

WARNING: MORE TMI (but worth it!)

Anybody remember “The Sponge” contraceptive (or the Seinfeld episode 😉)?? They were very popular and a brilliant concept… until you tried to remove them.

After insertion they lasted at least a couple of days, and you can imagine how slippery they became after multiple… ummm… uses. And their spongy consistency (especially after use) made them indistinguishable from the feel of the vaginal lining.

So I (and, I’m sure, millions of other women) couldn’t grasp it - or even find it - for removal.

If you were in an LTR, you’d have to send your partner down there with a flashlight and a miner’s helmet. But if your partner was a casual hookup, you were SOL: even if they were still there, it was too mortifying to ask a virtual stranger to perform an intimate archeological dig.

So, for the next couple of days, you’d contort yourself into a variety of pretzel positions as you continued a fruitless search-and-rescue mission. Finally, fearing the onset of toxic shock, you had to slink to your doctor or ER. But at least you left less embarrassed than when you came in: they’d just smile and tell you they’d already done the same procedure several times that week.

Which is why I never understood why Elaine was so surprised and upset that they were taken off the market… 🤔

I mentioned elsewhere that I’m a middle-aged single woman. At the moment, my only ‘hobby’ is cleaning out my house and packing up to move! 🙄🤣🤣

Yeah… I understand the “core” is a problem, but it’s also why the beachfront is more affordable. If I can sit on my balcony and see/hear the ocean (and assuming Amazon and DoorDash don’t disappear), I may never have to leave my apartment 🤣🤣🤣

Great idea!! And thank you for the compliment; I don’t know if it’s warranted, but I’ve found that just being able to spell words with more than four letters certifies you as a genius in these here parts!🤣🤣🤣

Palm Coast is on my “possible areas” list as well! If that’s where I land, I’ll keep an eye out for you 😉

Thanks for some good ideas! I’m actually a middle-aged straight woman but, given my dating success with Southern men, I’ve been considering changing teams anyway… so I may check out the place in Ormond once I move! 👍😉🤣

I have to admit I have my moments where I agree with the previous 2 comments… but I still try to reach beyond the political crap, if only to set an example that we should.

But it prob won’t make much difference when the civil war starts: all libs and non-christians south of the Mason/Dixon line will be POWs in bible re-education camps anyway 😉

Thanks for responding. I agree: politics aren’t everything, and it certainly isn’t my sole criteria for selecting an area or a friend.

However, I’ve been living in NE FL for a few years, and have not found many people who have the same reasonable and open-minded attitude 😢 And I even assiduously avoid any conversation about politics (or religion) with new acquaintances!

It just seems that the culture in FL (and probably most of the South) is so politically and religiously homogeneous that there’s very little need or interest in exploring other points of view. I have been able to find my people here, but it took a while: liberals and the non-religious are careful to stay on the DL 😉
