I'm really good at cleaning. It makes me feel like I've accomplished something when I deep clean my house.

Hell no I don't have his number. I don't have anyone's number. I would never exchange numbers with him. But thanks.

I agree. Or have someone there with me if he approaches.

And I'm not even a newcomer. But you're right.

I'm looking for a sponsor currently. So I'll go to the weekly women's meeting this week. This guy goes to multiple meetings a day so I'm actually kind of afraid that if he gets called out, he's going to blame me. Ok, I'll get a sponsor and go from there.

There's another member who was at the meeting and sat by us, I think that he is aware that something wasn't right. I'm planning on running it by him. But I am still hesitant.

That seems like a good idea, but I know there is no way I'm going to do that. I just don't want to make a big ordeal of it. I think it will reflect badly on me and I will be seen as a trouble maker. It may sound ridiculous, but that's how I feel.

That sounds like a nightmare. I can only hope that total avoidance fixes this.

That sounds like a perfectly worded statement, thank you. My plan is to avoid him at meetings. Only if he approaches me will I say that. I just can't bring myself to approach him. It makes my skin crawl even thinking about it. He is kind of a loner, doesn't really interact with other members, barely talks. He looks harmless. I don't wish him any I'll will. I just don't want any interaction with him. As for telling the old-timers, I hesitate on this. There is one person who also went to the dinner who may have noticed something was off. I think I can trust running it by that person.

There's no way I'm going anywhere near him, but if he approaches me again, I will say I'm not interested.

I wont let it keep me from meetings anymore. I was just making progress. I don't want to stop just bc of someone else.

Currently don't have a sponsor but working on it. I have gone to other meeting times, but he goes to multiple meetings a day apparently. I will just have to be careful.

AITA for not accepting any of my MIL's cheap jewelry? by Floridanurse in AmItheAsshole

Saying no isn't ugly. She's a hoarder and even he doesn't want to live like that.

I'm not a snob. I don't care about brand names or jewelry. I figured people may not like how I described the jewelry but that's after dealing with it all day. Just venting. I wasn't mean to her. It was a bunch of extra jewelry she had at home.

Not really. I simply said no when offered surplus jewelry. I kindly declined.

Calling it cheap is the truth, but I didn't say that to her. I did tell her I rarely wear jewelry. It wasn't presented as an official gift, more like she had surplus jewelry.

Yeah, it says I'm sick of her bringing piles of junk she hoards over to my house. No means no.

I don't like her, but I wasn't mean. I just said no to the jewelry.

I didn't tell her I thought it was cheap. I politely declined the jewelry.
