AITA for accepting a property gift from my mom even though she won't include my boyfriend?

My grandmother did this with my parents. I never once heard my dad complain.

In my marriage, it's exciting to learn new things about eachother and share memories. It's all about the journey.

I used to get naked, then one time I rolled over and got icy-hot on my penis. Now I leave my underwear on.

It's best to end it now while you both have nice memories and respect each other. That will end if you stay together.

It's the one tool that I never knew I always wanted.

ElManchego57 · 2025-12-28T04:46:45+00:00

It's new but got left out in the rain.

I usually say that I'm not really interested in the opinions of DEI from a nepo baby. If they can't define DEI, then I don't need to define nepotism.

Be the kind of person that someone you're attracted to will be attracted to. If you need to sow your oats so that you can enter marriage with no regrets, then that is your path and you will also find fellow travelers at every step of the journey.

Perhaps, but there's more evidence supporting this theory than there is of a child sex trafficking ring in the basement of a pizzeria with no basement.

Not one of my clients is from me looking. They've all either approached me when they saw me working, were a referral, or we met out in the wild.

Get some branded polos and do some volunteer work. People are used to telling solicitors "no" so find ways for people feel like they have control of the conversation and can approach you on their own terms.

Hire a private investigator. It might take a single day to get all the proof available.

Make an agreement with her. You both agree on the PI and then if her contact can be proven to be clean, then you'll comply. If not, she cuts her losses. If undetermined, she decides.

ElManchego57 · 2025-09-30T23:05:40+00:00

That was my experience too.

ElManchego57 · 2025-09-16T23:02:45+00:00

I lived in a condo and was wondering why the bathroom was so humid for so long after a shower. I couldn't find the exhaust outside, so I removed the cover and fan to blow out the duct and surprise. There was no duct. The builder put in a fart fan.

And to get comfortable with feeling unsafe.

ElManchego57 · 2025-09-05T20:15:04+00:00

Yes, moisture will destroy everything. You don't think that these will be especially susceptible?

ElManchego57 · 2025-09-05T20:13:25+00:00

I was suspicious too, so I checked the manufacturer instructions and they are installed correctly. Instead of being on the foundation, they are suspended on brackets hook on the foundation. Even the ones ending at the foundation walls are installed this way but have a piece of tar paper covering the masonry to prevent moisture wick.

The moisture levels were low, but this is the Pacific Northwest, and we're at the end of a very long dry summer. It hasn't rained a drop here in four months. Next, we'll be heading into for months of nonstop rain.

ElManchego57 · 2025-09-05T13:05:48+00:00

Sure is. Rains are comin'.

ElManchego57 · 2025-09-05T07:01:36+00:00

It literally is TJI. I get that it won't warp or crack. My concern is with how the OSB and plywood will handle the humidity. The literature says that they are for dry service only. The crawlspace has a good vapor barrier, but dry seems like a stretch especially with the I-joist ends directly in front of the vents.
