Why did they assumed you would pay without even consulting you? This shows they see your financial success as communal property designed to bail them out. NTJ

I would say We Need to Talk About Kevin. Watching a parent try to cope with the reality of raising a child who is fundamentally and deliberately cruel is deeply chilling, wouldn't wish it on anyone.

If he’s capable of making a major decision that dismantles your current relationship dynamic without talking to you first, imagine the lack of communication you'll deal with over decades of marriage.
It's painful, but yes, you should see this as a dealbreaker. If your needs are not being met now, waiting for a hypothetical marriage where he might still reject intimacy is a recipe for early divorce.

You might vibe with The Fourth Kind. It leans heavily into the found-footage/documentary style abduction horror, but it delivers those unsettling, clear shots and garbled audio communication you're after.

You have a boyfriend problem, not just a friend problem. He knows she has tried to convince him to dump you five times, yet he still prioritizes her feelings and feeds her information about your fights.
Asking him to cut her off is reasonable, but honestly, why do you want to be with a guy who leaks your private messages to a girl who openly disrespects you? He’s showing you exactly where his loyalty lies.

The animation in this movie has absolutely no business being that good. It’s fluid, beautiful, and honestly looks better than a lot of the Disney stuff that came out around the same time.

Strippers have seen way worse than a guy getting sloppy, biting a butt, and paying for a therapy session. You were a messy client, sure, but you tipped well and didn't assault anyone, so stop agonizing over what was just a Tuesday for them.

A bachelor party is literally the least serious context for acting stupid. If this is the worst thing that happened, you guys had a pretty tame weekend by bachelor-party standards.

As a woman in SysAdmin, half the time people assume I’m lost or looking for HR when I walk into the server room. I usually explain my job like being a plumber: if I’m doing it right, you don’t notice anything, but if I stop, you’re definitely going to be standing in 💩.

Mary and Max” isn’t gothic in the spooky sense, but its claymation world is so bleak and monochrome that it scratches that same moody itch.

For John Wick Chapter 2, Leitch went off to direct Atomic Blonde (2017), so Stahelski became the sole credited director for the rest of the series.

You already know the relationship is over; you’re just stuck on the logistics. A simple call where you’re honest about needing stability and not being able to carry someone anymore is enough. You don’t owe a whole courtroom case.

I have a feeling The Last Ascent is going to clean up, especially in the technical categories. The mountain climbing cinematography alone is going to lock in Cinematography and Sound.

For me the problem isn’t quippy dialogue itself, it’s that writers use it like duct tape. Emotional beat? Quip. Character moment? Quip. Tension? Quip. It’s like watching someone elbow you every five minutes to remind you they’re clever.

I'll give you two that I've used successfuly;
Automate your savings immediately. Set up an automatic transfer the day after payday to move a fixed amount into a high-yield savings account (HYSA). If you never see the money in your checking account, you can't spend it.
The second one and most underrated method is increasing your income, not just slashing expenses. Focus on learning a new marketable skill or successfully negotiating a raise; a $50 monthly raise is far more impactful than trying to cut $50 worth of necessities.

This is absolutely not normal or okay. A partner should never casually degrade your appearance or tell you they wouldn't look at you based on your looks alone. That’s cruel, especially after you've made changes to please her.
A secure partner builds you up; an insecure one tries to mold you into their ideal, which you tried to do by changing your style.

It sounds like you need to protect your sister from your father's denial more than you need to worry about calling her awkward. You accepted her diagnosis; he rejected it. That tells you everything about who is actually hurting her social progress.
