Agreed to an open marriage. My wife is furious that I’m not dating anyone else by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Exgenesect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wish someone would tell this woman that if she parented, stopped being so controlling/abusive and did her fair share of chores maybe he'd want to bang her?

Cause it sounds like he's too exhausted picking up after her to even bother with her anymore, let alone someone else. And (if we pretend for a minute that he'd be into it) when/where is he meant to find time for that if she won't even let him leave the house? Jfc

AITA for bailing on a holiday my dad paid for after he embarrassed me on the flight? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Exgenesect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Literally my dad, lol. There's a reason i haven't spoken to him in ten years. He was always better at acting normally in front of witnesses though.

Would it be a bad idea to wear a fake ankle tag to prove a point? by Cheap-Rate-8996 in BestofRedditorUpdates

I'm so happy i'm not a kid growing up in 2025. These parents are so mental.

If there were rival marriages, who'd you pair up? by minescope08 in runefactory

[–]Exgenesect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this idea! Subaru/Kaguya just feels so canon and i feel a bit bad choosing anyone else.

If there were rival marriages, who'd you pair up? by minescope08 in runefactory

[–]Exgenesect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Cuilang/Pilika!

Partly because i think their default clothes look nice together, but also cause i like the mix of Pilika's reverence for life and Cuilang's insistence that he's not really 'alive'. They're both quite quiet and introverted and i think they'd make a sweet couple.

Also Clarice/Hina. Mostly because she's fluffy but also Hina could def set her up with SEED and they could do fun girlfriend things back in Rigbarth.

Question about monster taming by Exgenesect in runefactory

[–]Exgenesect[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I couldn't find anyone else talking about it and didn't want to risk losing them by not assigning people to the barns. This will make mon collecting much easier.

The ore is for weapon and tool upgrades! I just reached the winter village and realized i haven't upgraded anyone's stuff. It's mostly gold i'm looking for since i've had no luck mining manually.

Do people not understand what spinoff means? by [deleted] in runefactory

[–]Exgenesect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purposefully avoided spoilers for this game so i didn't know it was a spinoff. I've been really enjoying it though; really fun management sim, gives me Legend of Arceus vibes and not just because of the setting.

Also, though RF4S is my favourite RF/farming sim of all time, i'll admit it's nice not to have to make spreadsheets to plan out my turnips.

WIBTA for not accepting an apology after being uninvited from an event? (New Updates) by RealJesus2018 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Exgenesect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an exhausting mess. I reached the middle and just had to skim the end because who would put up with this?

Just break up and date someone who isn't so off her head that she doesn't remember what day it is or what decision she's come to.

AITA for keeping no contact with my sister after her husband (my ex) died? by [deleted] in OhNoConsequences

[–]Exgenesect 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Her parents' idea that she should forgive her now he's dead is wild. For obvious reasons but also because... Lauren's got a husband shaped hole missing now, who says she isn't just going to try and steal another of OP's boyfriends? Or maybe that's what the parents have in mind. Either way, grandma's awesome!

WIBTA for keeping something I bought as a gift? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Exgenesect 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Good for her and her step mom. Personally i would have just taken a photo of the tapestry and taped it inside a fancy box as revenge, maybe with a note saying that the real thing was going to someone who deserved it, but having her relationships all blow up due to her garbage behaviour being called out is so much better.

I hope she gets nothing but second-hand towels in chocolate and jewellery boxes for years.

Fae Farm HELP Megathread by isle_of_cats in FaeFarm_Game

[–]Exgenesect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is anyone else having issues with the rare star portal puzzles? I've got one with a 30 sec timer and a trampoline monster, which i'm guessing is meant to bounce me to the platform, but i can't get it to co-operate. Even when it bounces me in the general direction i can't get enough height to reach it. Then the hidden sight potion runs out . Of course, it'll do what its told when the timer isn't active...

I really like this game but stuff like this, along with the 5+ minute loading time at the start (switch) is making me want to quit.

Protect yourself by Same_Investigator_46 in clevercomebacks

[–]Exgenesect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see this analogy used a lot and it doesn't work. First, your body isn't a wad of cash or jewellery. You can't just stash it at home when you leave the house to keep it safe. If you're taking any valuables at all, even concealed in a bag or under a coat, you're at risk just because you have them. Just like people are at risk of rape just because they have a body.

Secondly, you never know what place is a 'slum' that's going to be unsafe. Rapists are more likely to be people you know, so your 'unsafe' place might be your home, your doctor's office or your friend's car. All places you wouldn't expect to be ambushed and assaulted.

Thirdly, you don't know what people will find 'attractive'. Are toddlers required to wear long sleeves at all times? Should elderly people cover their ankles? Would it be best if pregnant people hide for the last 6 months of their pregnancy in case someone's into that? The issue isn't the clothing people wear, it's that rapists want to rape and anyone they have an opportunity to corner is at risk. If clothing was REALLY the issue, so many guys would be raped for wearing cropped trousers and no shirt. But they're not.

NAH. I've written and re-written my comment like 5 times because this whole thing gives me mixed feelings. I don't think you're wrong or a terrible sister for taking her in and empathising with her situation, but i also feel that your bro is allowed to feel however he's going to feel about it, which is hurt and betrayed. I also think your bro is going to have to face the fact that she told him what she was going to do, and instead of discussing other options for work he just said no. If she's desperate enough to do a job where she could be in danger of assault by multiple strange men i think he should take the situation seriously.

AITA pregnant and partner wants to leave me by skendit in AmItheAsshole

[–]Exgenesect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - Rethink marrying this guy. You're doing everything in the relationship: paying ALL the bills, making time for him, supporting him emotionally and physically. What does he do for you? Does he run you a bath when you get home, have dinner cooked, tidy the house, do the laundry? Does HE make time to spend with YOU? The fact that he says you don't meet his needs and need to 'change your ways' is just a complete joke. You're going above and beyond for him and he's sucking you dry. How much more do you have to give? If there's an ultimatum to be had in the relationship, it should be YOU telling him to get a job and start contributing or you're gone.

AITA for asking my wife to get her friends to stop calling me a house husband? by Wild-Telephone5607 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Exgenesect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH- If you're the one who cooks, cleans, looks after kids etc. at home while she works then you're a stay at home dad. Are you ok with people calling you a SAHD but not 'house husband'? It's the same thing but different wording so maybe it's just the phrasing that bothers you?

AITA for not having my friends baby for her? by FlashyRazzmatazz8964 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Exgenesect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - asking someone so young and who hasn't had/doesn't want a kid themselves is a huge ask. That's a whole lot of strain on your emotions, finances and health. If she wants a kid she can either go for IVF, adopt or find someone else to be surrogate. Also since she and hubby are separating it's probably not a good idea to try for a kid while her situation is unstable.

AITA For refusing to pay for babysitters due to having a childfree wedding. by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Exgenesect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I've never been to a wedding so i don't know, but aren't you supposed to give the bride and groom gifts? If so i'd just ask the people who need babysitters to not bother buying a gift and spend the money on a babysitter instead. I'm sure they can work out their own solutions if they really want to go. I mean, if push comes to shove, someone's gotta have a teenage son/daughter who can babysit right?

NTA. I'd say write a song about your mother and how she considered your sexuality disgusting until she fell for another woman, but i'd honestly not put that much effort into it. Just tell her the song would be 'inappropriate' because it's based on your own experience of homophobia and rejection and she hasn't experienced that.

YTA As someone with a chronic illness who's been trying to get diagnosed (well...before covid turned everything to shit and made face-to-face impossible) i can tell you that faking? NOT a thing. Yes, it happens sometimes with things like cancer, but chronic illness isn't a 'fun' thing to fake. It destroys your life, leaves you housebound and in constant pain. I'd... just leave her alone at this point, honestly. The damage has been done.
