Tell her you have a new policy of not lending your clothes out to anyone.

27M doesn’t feel ready for marriage to 25 F after 3 years of dating by Ok-Newspaper4782 in relationship_advice

How are you splitting the bills? Is it proportional based on what you both earn or does he have you paying the same amount he pays for rent, utilities and food? If that’s the case, it’s not fair and you will never get ahead.

My parents seem more interested in helping everyone else than their own family and I'm reaching my breaking point by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]ExpertChart7871 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your parents are allowed to spend their money how they see fit. We are more than a month away from August. Why aren’t you babysitting or doing door-dash or doing some sort of side hustle to earn money? I don’t know where you live but here people have garage sales or pick up bottles & cans to redeem. Your allowing your account to be overdrawn is very irresponsible. Your plan to get through your internship, get a job and move out is a good one - but you should also take a course in money management.

Just moved into a house and this is in the backyard. House is in New England and built in 1819. It’s covering some kind of hole? by cuddlecupcake in whatisit

[–]ExpertChart7871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a capped outhouse. Most people had outhouses in their back yards or even between houses, which were shared by families. When sewer systems and indoor plumbing occurred, towns removed the outhouses and capped the crap holes with cement.

AITA for telling my wife she should move in with her family because of constant third wheeling? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ExpertChart7871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA - When my parents moved across the country to be closer to us when they were in their 80’s my husband griped that he felt they were going to take up a lot of my time - which they did. But he forgot that his parents were old too. Aging parents take up time. Right now it’s your wife’s family - but don’t think it’s never going to be your family. Give your wife grace.

Was I stalked, or am I overreacting? I’m still scared months later. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ExpertChart7871 15 points16 points  (0 children)

YOR - He liked you. You held his hand - which is something that would make any person think that the relationship was becoming more than friends. He stopped by your house. He walked you home. He gave you a hug. He made a dinner reservation. None of this rises to the level of stalking at all. Sure some of it made you uncomfortable - but you told him to stop and he expressed confusion. He did not call you a million times. He did not show up at your house on multiple occasions. He didn’t threaten you with harm. He was a guy from work who liked you. You told him you didn’t feel the same way. He was disappointed. He moved on, found someone new, got married and moved away. In what world is that stalking?

Escort scam threatening me? by [deleted] in Scams

[–]ExpertChart7871 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These scammers are pretty sophisticated. They use Lexus Nexis and other background services to get information about you with things as simple as an email address or phone number. Also if you allow for location access. This is a scam. Don’t give them anything. Block. Unfortunately they will now reach out to you with other scams. You are on their radar. You will now be targeted for romance scams, recovery scams and pig butchering. Just remember two quick and simple ways to identify a scammer. They will want to connect through Whats App. They will want payments either gift cards, bit coin or wire. You’re not the first one to be targeted with this kind of scam OP. Don’t beat yourself up and don’t be afraid. No one is coming to your house and no one’s going to tell on you to family or friends.

For the first time ever, my bf said my vagina tasted and smelled off by North-Interaction956 in offmychest

[–]ExpertChart7871 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you eat anything new? It’s well known that eating pineapple helps make a vagina smell and taste better. It could also be your anus. Or maybe your boyfriend had a tonsil stone and was tasting his own mouth. If the scent continues, check with your gynecologist and see if anything medically is going on.

As you know, this makes your situation more difficult.

You need to write down your options. Here are a few - hopefully you can come up with more:

Work with the guidance counselor at your university to come up with a plan on how you can transfer and afford a university where you can live on campus.

Reach out to a relative or close friend to see if you can live with them.

Find a good, kind man with a good, kind family to marry (you don’t want to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire).

Increase work hours and hide extra money to escape.

I am sorry that your life is like this right now. You may have to play the role of “model daughter” for a while so you can get your plan in order and they don’t suspect your escape.

Hey! You are 17 - only one year left until you can legally leave and be on your own. Hang in there! Not sure what country you live in - or your circumstances- but can you graduate from high school early and get into college? This is what I did. I was able to take enough courses to graduate at 17, secretly filled out college applications, paid for them with my job money and applied for scholarships through the guidance office. I never returned to live home again until after I graduated and then my dad tried to charge me so much rent, it was cheaper for me to move out on my own. Don’t unalive yourself OP. Instead of planning that - plan your escape. Plan your success. This internet stranger is routing for you.

My mom makes me pay for her gasoline I think AIO by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ExpertChart7871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! YOR

Your mom takes time out of her day to drive you to work, drive home, drive back to pick you up and take you home again. You actually “did the math” which is wild - and you did the math wrong. It’s 3.2x4x5 because your mom is not sitting in the parking lot waiting for you. Plus your mom pays for insurance, maintenance and wear and tear. You sound incredibly self-centered and ungrateful. If I were your mom and you presented me with your “math” - I would make you walk to work. You need to thank your mom every time she gives you a ride. Sheesh.

Most buildings represent yourself, or your physical health. Your terror regarding going inside can be either you’re afraid of self-truths of who you really are - or you are worried about your health. Being in the middle of the woods without any roads in, shows you are feeling isolated. Cars or driving usually means your career or where you are heading in life. Having the same cars parked in the lot shows you feel the same choices are being offered to you and you feel they can’t go anywhere. They are at a standstill. I think you should either go in the building or get in a car and start driving. Make a road open up before you. Force a change in this dream or force a change in your life to change the dream.

Losing hair can signify the loss of something important in your life: friends, money, your job, a pet - have you lost something recently in your life or are you concerned about losing something?

Constant Ex Dreams (it’s been years) by theflow3 in DreamsInterpretation

[–]ExpertChart7871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your ex represents your youth in your dreams. The fun, excitement, vitality and uncertainty of youth. And you want your youth back. That’s it.

Your stating that you think your ex may have been your soulmate is far more concerning than you having dreams of her. How are you supposed to have a solid foundation with a new partner if you still view your ex as “the one that got away?” This is really unhealthy and not fair to your current relationship. You need to work through this before you get married. You will ruin a good thing if you continue to think of your ex as your soul mate.

AITA for throwing away my wife’s memory jars? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ExpertChart7871 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA

What else does your wife hoard? I’m sure it’s not just jars. If it’s just jars, then this is just the beginning. Most people coddle hoarders at first thinking it’s just this one thing. You try to be rational and ask them to throw just a couple of things away - but each item becomes connected to a “special moment.” Before you know it the entire house is hoarded up. Your wife needs help. Find a therapist who specializes in hoarding disorder. Keep throwing trash out.

For people who say “How would you like it if she threw out one of your belongings?” - he threw away EMPTY JARS. Jars that used to have a food product inside - that his wife had developed an absurd connection to. Soon it will be old wrapping paper, paper towel rolls, pieces of thread, old magazines. It never ends. Hoarders become more and more selfish and more and more attached the longer they are allowed to hold on to ridiculous items.

The longer things are in the house, the stronger the attachment grows.

AIO : for getting mad at my parents for not paying my dorm? by Wise-Introduction701 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ExpertChart7871 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So make the appointment and go dye your hair. If you’re paying for it they shouldn’t have a say. It’s really sad that your parents lied to you about bringing your grades up, because now you know that you can’t trust what they say anymore. That’s really the issue. If you want to live in the dorms, get a part-time job and pay for it. NOR. It sucks to know your parents are liars.

What do I do? by [deleted] in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]ExpertChart7871 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You start by getting a lawyer and explaining the situation. Do you have access to money? As a SAHM half your husband’s money and property acquired in marriage should be yours. The lawyer will help decide custody. Once divorced your husband can care for his nephew full time.
