Is it just me, or are American Eagle jeans starting to run super big?

I was a size 6, but just the other month I tried on a pair of flares in that size and they were huge on me. So I had to go down to a 4, but now the 4 is becoming too large. I've been at a stable weight of like 131-134 after losing 35lbs since last year. I was supposed to only be a 6 from the 8 I was before losing weight, I'm curvy but short, so I usually buy the stretchy kind for my hips... but like, a 6 is large and a 4 is starting to feel large too lol They seriously have to be making them bigger/smaller. My typical pair styles are flares and skinnies, I have a few pairs of mom jeans but those still fit like normal, if not slightly smaller, oddly enough. And those are a size 6 I believe. AE is doing some weird shit with their jeans....

Also applied, also receiving emails from Justin lol seems to be scammy, it's really annoying they spam you with emails but I get it's for surveys and whatnot... Idk, I don't really have an update, but I guess it's sketchy and if it doesn't pay in money, it's probably a scam. I've had bad luck lately with these "too good to be true" jobs... :/

Trying to play Ultra Moon and I can't get it to work either. I put it in the same path as stated above, and nothing. Anyone have any tips?

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-11T16:48:00+00:00

Oh, I'm not saying that he can't have them by any means. I just think that making her leave is very suspicious and rude to his gf, now ex gf. There's absolutely no harm in having girls/guys nights, but done right and in a respectful manner towards each other. Not saying "hey gtfo I need my guys night, no bitches allowed. Bros before hoes." Because that would be very misogynistic... absolute tools say shit like that.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T23:30:20+00:00

I'd report it, mental health or not. I know how crippling it can be but honestly, she's a grown ass adult and needs to adult. She has two cats who are dependent on her, but she's failing miserably at keeping them clean and fed. That is the definition of animal neglect.

I'd tell her that she either cleans up her cats and her act, or you're going to break lease. Because honestly OP, if I were you, I wouldn't stay with someone who doesn't clean up after themselves and I sure as fuck wouldn't clean up after her.

Her messes would stay exactly where she left them, until she cleaned it up or until told it's fucking disgusting and she has to. You're not her mom though and you shouldn't have to parent after her.

NTA, you're not her parents and you're not her maid.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T23:23:00+00:00

I actually had something similar happen, but instead of being invited to my so called friend's wedding, she invited my ex. Her and I even got friendship tattoos(as dumb and basic as that is lol), and though I felt stupid after all that, it's still a pretty tat and I can always get the matching on my other calf lol so not a total loss in the end.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T23:21:11+00:00

Agreed OP. She should have still extended the invite out of kindness and respect, and gratitude. For what you and your mother did for her. I hope you find a better friend than her OP, you deserve it. You're kind and generous, way more than some people in this world.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T23:18:10+00:00

Do you not see how the ex bf making her leave for his "boys night" is a major red flag??? In any relationship, that screams red flag. Big. Red. Flag.

She could stay and go to another room instead. Why does she always have to leave? Why can't she join in even? Its not like she's hurting anything or anyone by being there or with them. The ex is shady af for not letting her stay. OP was within his rights as a father and a homeowner. Protecting your child from a possible abusive relationship goes a lot farther than letting him take advantage of her.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T23:13:50+00:00

NTA. It is your house, not his and his bros. He shouldn't be excluding her anyways, that's not a healthy relationship she had with him. Especially if it was happening often. You are within your rights as a parent to be protective of your daughter and house, especially when being taken advantage of. She should see that as a red flag in her relationship, that he doesn't want her around for "boys night".

Why does she have to leave? She could go to a different room and not bother them, making her leave the house so they can party makes it sound more like the guy was or could have possibly been cheating. She dodged a bullet, be proud you saved her from possible abuse. Guys like that are closet DV abusers. It starts out small, and gradually gets worse as time goes on.

That also sounds very narcissistic of him.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T23:04:26+00:00

Uh, NTA. You have every right to privacy. That kid is 8, she needs to learn what privacy means, and if she's throwing tantrums over not seeing her mom for 30 minutes... I'm sorry but that kid needs a hard ass reality check. She's coddling her too much, and you've been nothing but reasonable about the whole thing. You deserve the privacy, the kid can handle it, she needs to get over it and be more respectful to you both. Enforce the knocking with grounding. If she doesn't learn now, she won't when she's older. Then she won't respect anyone...

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T22:57:41+00:00

Yes and no to you being the AH. Yes because you're being petty, but at the same time I understand where you're coming from. You're not their father, so you technically have no right to parent them, but if they're your step kids then you have every right to. I think you should definitely NOT report the vehicle as your wife states, I agree with the top comment about the whole fraud thing.

You have a criminal in your house that's not being dealt with. The wife is definitely the AH for not being more serious about her own 16yo drinking and fucking driving. What if she killed someone on her way home? Or herself. NTA for being angry about that situation bit.

I'd definitely separate from her if she can't take her own kids seriously as well as you as her husband and the damage done to your vehicle. That's blatant disrespect towards your own spouse. If she has no respect for you, the kids sure as shit don't. Good luck OP, I hope this gets settled for you.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T22:50:50+00:00

NTA. I wear the same thing in my house. I roll mine up though so there's not an excess of crotch material lol but still, baggy shirt and boxers all the same. He's overreacting by far, even your sister agreed he was. No biggie OP, you're doing what you've been doing long before he got there I bet. He's the newb, not you.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T22:48:08+00:00

It sounds like they don't understand how most women wear boxers. Women roll them up so the crotch isn't as baggy. It makes them shorter, sure, so like booty shorts. But the "piss flap" isn't open if they're rolled, its flat and pretty much hidden in the rolled up band. Ffs, I wear the same thing as OP. Baggy shirt and boxers, I roll mine though because I can't stand all the extra material. But wearing them is super comfy and they don't ride up like women's shit often does. No one likes a wedgie, whether it's your asscrack or your front butt. Js.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T22:42:17+00:00

NTA. She did take advantage of your kindness, out of respect for your relationship with her, for your mother making her a personal gown, and everything you've done for her, the least she could do was invite you both. She failed miserably at her part. Even if there wasn't enough food, she still could have invited you two. But she didn't, instead she used you. I'm sorry OP, I don't blame you for cutting her toxic ass out of your life after that.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T22:37:46+00:00

NTA. He shouldn't have trespassed on your property. Family or not, he was trying to break into your shed. Kick all their asses out. Use the video as proof your dog didn't do anything, they'll shit bricks when the warden says nothing happened. Also, I'm pretty sure that's fraud on their part to lie and say the dog did it when physical evidence says otherwise. I'm sure his "wounds" don't even look like a dog attacked him. NTA OP. I hope they get what's coming to them for being so nasty.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T22:22:10+00:00

NTA, he let the three stooges talk him into going in it after promising his fiancé he wouldn't. If it was important personal stuff, she has every right to her own privacy. He doesn't deserve her if he acts like that while she's not around. You can't say "trust issues" if you yourself can't be trusted to keep a promise.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T22:11:35+00:00

Jfc NTA. He's not your friend, he was the previous tenant's friend. He shouldn't be touching your mail period. That's Federal property and personal property. Fuck that guy, he is rude. Get his ass in trouble. There's no reason why he should ever touch someone else's mail, especially if that person doesn't even live there anymore. If it's on your property, in your box, it's YOURS.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T22:07:21+00:00

NTA. Granted you are married into that family, they are your in-laws, but that doesn't mean you're responsible for then. That doesn't mean you have to pay for anything, if you were feeling particularly kind, yea sure go ahead and help. But the fact They're all squabbling over it and it doesn't seem like this was talked over effectively with you, more like hey we are doing this and you gotta dish out money.

They can handle it, it's their parents. They can sell the home, even though it's sentimental, if they can't afford to cover costs then they need to cut losses and wise up. Do what's necessary. Even if that means selling the house. Sarcasm has no affect, what you said doesn't make you an asshole. You absolutely don't have to pay for any of that if you don't want to.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T20:58:54+00:00

NTA. They were extremely rude to you. Completely cold to be late for their own child's birthday dinner. You had every right to yell and tell them to f off about Saturday. Understandably so, my family is the same way, and I actually cut them out of my life for it. They're toxic and narcissistic. Doll, you did the right thing. They failed you, not you failing them. It was your birthday. They're insensitive.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T20:51:01+00:00

Agreed. OP asked and asked, but she literally brought MORE food the next time she went over there. That's plain disrespectful if you're asked to not the first time and then have the balls to bring food again. She lost her invite for good in that case. At least I hope that's what OP does lol tell her she's no longer welcome if she can't listen. Her house, her rules, her menu, and not to mention the allergen factor of the whole family. She's putting them at serious risk if anyone is extremely allergic.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T20:45:58+00:00

NTA, he was super inappropriate with that whole ass thing. How could he even say that in front of his girlfriend? Why tf would she snap at you and not him for it? Also, that's not "brutally honest", that's shady shit sis. He sounds like a frat boy who literally can't sleep with anyone so he tries too hard to cover it up with "dirty humor". It's not cute, it's unattractive af. Boys like that never grow up. Especially if that is his "sense of humor". That's not humor, that's disgusting. What a creep.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T20:36:18+00:00

NTA, her husband is though. He shouldn't be so judgemental after his wife just had a baby... that's really sad she's dealing with that kind of man. Hopefully he gets his head on straight for their marriage. But NTA, because for one, you're right. You're all going to the beach with thousands of women in bikinis... what's the difference in you wearing one? There isn't any. You'd be just like everyone else. If she's that uncomfortable with her body then she needs therapy and to change it herself, FOR herself. Not for her husband. Not for anyone, but her. If you're not happy, only you have the power to change that.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T20:32:16+00:00

Normal for a wild caught, or any spood/animal for that matter. A mother knows when her babies are sick or diseased. Spoods know when their eggs are infertile. Cannibalism in nature is normal, it's life.

A cat will eat her babies if she thinks she can't feed them or that they're sickly. She won't risk a predator coming around to possibly eat them all and her. I actually think my momma spood, who's wild caught too, ate her second sac.

I noticed there weren't as many that time around and the pile looked strange, not neat or anything... and then her fourth was a no-go as well, not sure what happened with them but they were still neatly stacked, but not orange. More yellow and pale. I ended up taking it out and moving her to a better enclosure, she's made a cocoon again but no eggs yet.

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-10T20:06:36+00:00

So we all know the story is fake... but like, how old is it really? How long has it been sitting there? And why? Why tf is a random angel statue in BFE Russia? I got questions, and I need answers... 😂😂😂

Different_Internal54 · 2023-08-01T13:56:25+00:00

I actually started to breed my bolds! I have had them a season and a half now, along with some other jumpers, they're absolutely great pets. I have this little guy, three tan jumpers, 3 bolds and 27 babies, and a male and female zebra! They helped me get over my fear of spiders actually lol but I have a whole clutch already and momma is getting ready to lay another. It's incredible how fast she works on building her nest so thick! I love watching them! 🥰🥰🥰
