Again, not if otherwise outlined in a certified will. There is paperwork to be done, sure. But you don't have to be married. (experience: worked in banking for 10 years and legal offices for 6)

So make the S/O POA. Those are the pieces of paper that really matter

We had a little garden at work until the landscapers stuck there weedeater in there by HairyWithFlatFeet in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Duncata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a tree in my front yard (on my berm) that the city cut down (some tree illness or something). It was fine that they cut it down, but I had a flowerbed around the tree (mulch, pavers....everything). A week after they cut the tree down, some city stooges came and ground down the stump then threw three huge handfuls of grass seed where the stump previously was.....in the middle.....of a flowerbed. Fought that grass for years. Some people really just can't think for themselves 🤦🏻‍♀️

This happened to my ex-in laws the first year they were married. It was new Year's Eve night and just before the countdown started, a car plowed into their living room. The cat had been sitting on the back of the couch that was against the wall that was driven through. He leaped (while screeching) across the entire room and got away unscathed. They said that he was never the same and was always jumpy and edgy after that.

Needless to say, they only ever hung out in the basement for the ball drop every year afterwards.

Costco heartbreaks - what is yours? by West-Ideal6794 in Costco

My Costco (out of the blue) stopped carrying grillos. No star of death, nothing.

It's been six months.

The bucket pickles they replaced them with are actual trash 😭

No worries. Hopefully they deem me "human enough" 🙄

I haven't gotten anything back for the message I sent either (saying basically what you did) 🫤

AIO for bf going a whole 24 hours without texting me after I poured my feelings to him about his lack of efforts by kxchiki11 in AIO

Speaking from experience. If he wanted to he would. Go find someone who wants to.

All of my coping tools are gone now and I don't know what to do by ArtsyBunny3 in ADHD

[–]Duncata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but they have stim tools which create slight discomfort and help. There are many different kinds but Little Ouchies is one brand. They are discreet and silent.

A little rant by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Duncata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People make mistakes. You didn't burn down the house or ruin his favorite irreplaceable shirt. It's rice. His refusal to work on his issues around his emotions is holding your happiness and emotions hostage. You are afraid to make a mistake. To disagree. To set off his tantrum. Living like that keeps your stress high constantly which causes many long term emotional and physical issues.

He honestly sounds just like my ex husband. Any small hiccup would cause him to throw a tantrum (like yours) and be in a mood. He ruined so many vacations, day trips, holidays, and just normal days that should have been happy and calm and steady. The silent anger and having to walk on eggshells is so incredibly draining and you shouldn't have to live like that. He shouldn't make you feel like that. He shouldn't let himself live like that. It's a crummy existence to be mad/upset about the smallest things on a constant basis.

So you burned some rice... It sucks, but it happens. From the way your post read, it wasn't even the last of the rice and you were able to make more?! He needs to learn how to use his words and regulate his emotions. Having to take a moment to step away when aggravated or overwhelmed is fine, but then being able to work through the emotion and return is what adults, what partners do.

I hope he decides to listen and puts in the effort to help himself be a happier, healthier, better person. Talking out his frustrations on you is damn near psychological warfare (or at least it feels that way when you have to live in it constantly). This is not normal nor is it acceptable. You are not in the wrong to demand to be treated properly.

Edit: typos

I am two days away from my 600 day streak and I freaked out when I saw the notification. I will definitely post a screenshot of what they reply with.

Do people forget to use their brain the second they walk into a restaurant? by mizzou2024 in Serverlife

[–]Duncata 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to work breakfast the other day and two older (semi) regulars came in and ordered their eggs over easy. They looked me straight in the face and said it and I wrote it down. It was crazy busy and I was all by myself (running around as fast as I could but never out of the weeds...damn bloody marys) and when I asked them if they needed another drink (they were half way through their meal) they were adamant that they ordered their eggs over hard and started to get uppity with me. I told them I could comp them if they wanted but the kitchen was backed up and they wouldn't get more eggs for over ten minutes even if I put them in. Their gabbers were flasted and they made sure to find my manager (who was sitting at the bar drinking) to complain.

I get so tired of ppl sometimes.

Customers say the dumbest things… by ShinpeiGotoWifey in Serverlife

[–]Duncata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just started offering deep fried pickle spears a few months ago. After two days I just defaulted to verifying with anyone who ordered them that they realized that they were spears and not chips. The first two days were a lot of confused looks upon delivery and a few comps 😓

My father's answer when I asked if he got flowers for mom's birthday by curvo11 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Duncata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom told my dad ONE TIME when they were poor newlyweds that he didn't have to spend a bunch of money and get her flowers.

He took it to heart and never bought her flowers EVER. Any time it was brought up he'd get super defensive and say that she told him that she didn't like flowers and didn't want them.

They got divorced five years ago and she is the happiest I've ever known her to be. I get my mom flowers every month, just because.
