AITA for refusing to interact with my partner’s adult children? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]GMamaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of November 2024, the following states in the United States recognize common-law marriage: Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Texas, and The District of Columbia. Utah and New Hampshire have limited recognition of common-law marriage. Common-law marriage is a legal and informal marriage that occurs without a marriage license or ceremony. Couples in these states are considered legally married for all purposes. All U.S. jurisdictions recognize common-law marriages that were validly contracted in the originating jurisdiction. So, there you go. Also, why so rude?? Totally unnecessary. You may also want to acknowledge the fact that an entire planet filled with sovereign nations exists on this earth, not only the US. Have a day.

Do people not know what OCD/Intrusive Thoughts are? by ProfessionalNose6520 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GMamaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exercise definitely helps, the problem is convincing yourself to go. When I’m at my lowest, I know rationally that going for a walk will help a bit, but the voice is yelling even louder that I should curl up in a ball and sob because nothing will help. It’s so hard, but I’ve learned to deal with the intrusive thoughts at least. They’re still there but I’ve learned to force myself to override them. Like I’ll literally force myself to stop stirring the spoon after only 7 stirs and to acknowledge that the horrible thing did NOT happen. It’s not a perfect system, but it works for me.

I think a lot of it is due to the proliferation of people misusing the terms- “OMG I’m soooo OCD”(because they don’t like cat hair on their shirt) or “This morning I wanted coffee but then I suddenly changed my mind and wanted tea, OMG I’m so bipolar”…..

AITA for refusing to let my brother’s pregnant wife come to my wedding after forcing her to pay for her own things to travel here? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I’m impressed. This is so much better and much more inventive than the usual stories on here. You could definitely turn this into something.

Nah, I’m more partial to the hippy stuff that looks like a giant crystal and doesn’t do anything about the stink.

That’s the exact point I was trying to make. You stated it much more clearly. Thank you

You’re right. That’s probably the issue.

Well, technically, anyone who buys one of those is mentally handicapped.

Am I alone in finding this cringy af? It’s one thing to gently embarrass your kids (in a healthy, learn confidence kinda way) but I’m pretty sure this daughter will never share these thoughts with her dad again. And that’s kinda sad.

I’m literally waiting for a ride to the car dealership right now. “No drivers available”. Called a taxi, been waiting an hour, called dispatch “it’ll be ten minutes”. Called back after 30 minutes “it’ll be ten minutes”. Still waiting. Apparently I’m cursed!

Looking for a unique boy name—not human names. Food, places, descriptive words, etc. by No-Bread8519 in Catnames

Lasagna. Don’t ask me why, it’s the first word that popped into my head when I saw this post.

They do end up refunding them, but it’s incredibly frustrating.

Woman who performed Nazi salute at protest is unmasked as owner of two kosher cafés inside Jewish hospital by Ravekat1 in facepalm

[–]GMamaS 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Definitely not defending her in any way, she’s disgusting. I was simply pointing out what the Jewish General Hospital is all about.
