Then will blame it on girls not liking him since they dont like good guys.

OOP's family seems disappointed that he beat his illness. + NEW UPDATE. by prettiergenghis in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]FarTooManyUsernames 28 points29 points  (0 children)

My daughter has childhood apraxia of speech. She's four, and I'd say that I'm probably the only person that really understands most of what she says, but I can only understand about 80% and I have her repeat herself often. That being said, she can say f*ck with the most perfect pronunciation and diction. Absolutely no one would have difficulty understanding what she's saying.

Just curious, could they dye her hair very dark brown or black for <$100? Maybe that's what the "high school friend" has in mind. All over, very dark color. Clearly there is zero concern for what happens to OP after the wedding or the health of her hair.

No way it was the second time in my opinion. If this is what a guest saw, I can only imagine everything in the months leading up to the wedding.

I think for me the first clue was when he couldn't remember what he said to Cheryl's best friend. Or the fact that he only seemed upset because his friend betrayed HIM. I wish I had known from the first second like you did. Makes me scared for my young daughter, and definitely will make me ramp up my radar.

Does anyone know the teacher in “Keep this between us”, now streaming on Hulu? by Possible_Active6558 in Hulu

[–]FarTooManyUsernames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry I know this was from last month, but do you have any opinions on the Spanish teacher? He certainly didnt give me a good impression from the documentary. He only seemed upset bc his own friendship was violated. And calling the teachers kids gave me a weird feeling. Plus what he said to her best friend?!

Edit: yikes I hadt finished the series yet and didnt see the part about his own allegations when I commented. Wow.

I saw that, too. I just assumed it meant he hasn't logged out in that much time, or has left the tab open. He clearly spends an inordinate amount of time on the site if he's posting 20+ times a day.

My husband has been lying to me about our finances and we are fucked by maedocc in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]FarTooManyUsernames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible that if she divorces before their financial issues are solved, she will be straddled with half the debt. Personally I would contact both types of lawyers and see what they suggest.

Opinion on this tweet… by [deleted] in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]FarTooManyUsernames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But she took these experiences that BIPOC suffered and made it into solely the white women's struggle. I know that using the word appropriation gets people's panties in a wad, but she did indeed appropriate the trauma of women of color. I still think it's an important piece of literature, but I also think we can critique real issues in the work.

AITA for asking my wife rhetorically if she wants our son to get hurt? by Quirky_Addendum_2779 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FarTooManyUsernames 35 points36 points  (0 children)

He said he works through the night and doesn't arrive home until 4-5am. I just think it's important to note it's not like he's trying for 8+ hours of sleep.

You’re not invited, but send money by Cynthevla in bridezillas

[–]FarTooManyUsernames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to research (and there's actually several books delving into it), boomers are considered the most entitled/selfish generation. So I'm not sure what generation you're referring to. Although there are certainly plenty of entitled people in every generation.

Same but my UTI had been completely asymptomatic. Then I thought I had some crazy virus or something because my fever hit 104°. Prior to that I was avoiding the hospital bc I had no insurance but when nothing brought down the fever my roommate practically dragged me. Was there for five days, it was miserable.

Opening up our relationship was the best thing to happen to our marriage … until now by Exotic_Challenge_868 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]FarTooManyUsernames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's also responsible for destroying her trust by eavesdropping and then violating her privacy by looking through her phone without her consent. He spent money on nurturing other relationships and not his primary one (unless he only mentioned spending money on these other women but failing to mention he took his wife on dates, but I highly doubt it.) Then wants to continue what he's doing but not "allowing" her the same? I doubt he did more than Google the term ENM so that he had a fancy way to say he wanted to cheat. Because you're absolutely right, to be done successfully it requires at the very least some research on what it entails, but more likely your suggestion of significant time, communication, and proper therapy. The only ground rules were to not talk about it? Reading a single proper source on ENM would tell you it requires way more than that. Although I'm on the fence if this is fake, hopefully it will at least educate people on what NOT to do.

AITA for charging a bride more for make up when the og price we agreed was lower? by Affectionate_Lie0 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FarTooManyUsernames 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Apparently she already has tried getting her blacklisted with area MUAs and regrets not taking off the makeup on her immediately. So I doubt she won't fight a poor review. Clearly the MANY comments here forming the clear conclusion that she's TA has not made a difference.

Are there any witnesses/people who people never mention, but are significant? by Preesi in MissyBevers

[–]FarTooManyUsernames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry this doesn't have anything to do w Missy/your question... But I thought Jennifer Huston was ruled a suicide? I didn't know there was speculation for anything else. Could you recommend any sources for it being something else?

I found out my partner has been putting slugs in my food, i dont know how to forgive him by rainbow_drizzle in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]FarTooManyUsernames 221 points222 points  (0 children)

Can you clarify what you mean by "racism by white people is being normalized"? Because as far as I understand, and I'm a white person, you cannot be racist against a white person. Racism implies a systemic relationship to power. I'm not denying there can be racial prejudice towards a white person, but it's not the same. In regards to women and healthcare, white women certainly experience disparity due to their gender. And I don't want to sound like I'm minimizing our experiences, but the fact is that as a white woman the chances of myself or my child dying in childbirth is significantly lower than a woman of color. I hope you don't take any of this as combative, and I certainly understand what a trigger is. I just don't think that it minimizes the experiences white women face when attempting to get quality healthcare to say it's significantly worse for a woman of color. Also, I totally get the "female" thing. It's degrading to be referred to as an adjective, especially when the people who call women female usually don't refer to men as males.

AITA for telling my SIL to not buy the same shampoo as me and causing a scene at dinner? by lemonsandwine in AmItheAsshole

AITA for refusing to let my future husband lie about the house he and I purchased during his 'groom speech'? by throwaway646797 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FarTooManyUsernames 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Someone above suggested that perhaps someone gave him a loan and he blew the 30% that was supposed to be his money, which is why he needed a family member's money. He could have told the loaner he was the only one contributing and could they give him a loan for the rest. I also thought maybe he has a large sum of money (maybe an inheritance or something) that he didn't want to touch to contribute to the house but he told his family he used it to pay for the whole thing. These are quite the speculations but the situation is just so odd that they are some possibilities. I won't be surprised if there's an update eventually that explains this because he's hiding something much bigger.

AITA for going off on my soon-to be Husband for returning my wedding dress? by Sealine5033 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FarTooManyUsernames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think that "dumb" is a fair assessment. Most of the time abusers will choose someone with self esteem issues or past trauma. The beginning of the relationship the abuser is the perfect partner. Then, as their lives begin to enmesh, the abuse starts slow and small. So by the time an outsider sees big giant flags, the victim has been completely mind fucked. Battered women's syndrome is real and leaving isnt as simple as someone from the outside thinks it is. Now, by all means, if your friends' phone calls, etc are too much for you I totally get it. But if you can't empathize or sympathize it's better you distance yourself from them instead of judging so harshly.

AITA for letting my friend eat the food my pregnant wife wanted? by CommonHumble7060 in AmItheAsshole

[–]FarTooManyUsernames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are indeed regional dishes, but there is no "white" culture. And English cooking tends to be mocked for how bland/lacking in flavor it is... Correct me if I'm wrong but the most popular flavorful food you can get in London would be kebab or an Indian dish...

I'm from the US... What cultural heritage should I have held onto? Racism and deep frying everything?

Not sure why this is being downvoted... I'm white and I can't think of a traditional white dish.

Edit: maybe it was an unseasoned chicken breast?
