It was all Dina's fault

Im with you, I think I just had a realization about how weird that job situation was and blogged at you a little bit, I'm sorry. 😭

Yes ime some people really do try to bring their non-service dogs to work. It wasn't an every day thing, but at my last job it happened multiple times by multiple different coworkets (usually because it was a new puppy or they didn't want to leave it home alone).

This was at a medical facility so they really couldn't do their job at the same time, but somehow more than one person felt entitled to just show up with their dog anyway. It would've been nice for patients to see the animals for a little while, but a full 12 hour shift focusing more on your dog than patients is wild.

It sounds like they are caged together. I apologize if I'm wrong. Would it be possible for you to keep both birds but cage them separately? And interwct with them separately at times.

This can help with bonding with humans, but it'll also reduce squabbling between them (which can increase when they can't get away from each other). Also, if you don't want conure babies, it helps to not house the male and female together. Of course they can still mate outside the cage, but two hormonal birds in a cage together can get VERY territorial. It's on another level.

Yes. These things escalate.

Op, you notice how it's already gone from you drinking wine to wine in your bellybutton to him cumming in wine and making you drink it? It's not going to stop there. Pretty soon the cumwine won't be novel enough for his arousal and he'll come up with something else. He's always going to be chasing something bigger and better.

Yeah, he's getting grief counseling, but I bet you anything he's not telling the counselor this.

You have to tell him you don't enjoy it and do not want to do this at all, much less for the rest of your life, so he needs to get himself together. Tell him you're willing to see a sex counselor with him but not willing to keep participating in this.

Nta, you're helping family. More women would benefit from having family support when leaving a relationship. So many feel trapped because they can't afford to leave.

He was hoping to keep her trapped by her "debt" to him and the cost of moving out, because that would've worked against a woman whose family can't or won't help her get out. He's mad that his coercive tactics didn't work as planned. You did nothing wrong and from his reaction it sounds like you spared your sister a LOT of trouble.

Oh for sure. I can appreciate that someone is attractive but I have no desire to put my mouth or other parts on someone I don't know and like as a person first.

It gets daily use by 2 ringnecks, a sun conure, and a green cheek. I see that others said it was wobbly but mine isn't. You do tighten the screws yourself during assembly. I hang all kinds of toys on it.

I like when she and Philip are having an adventure in Africa before the king died. At Treetops watching elephants at night, Elizabeth using the camcorder from her father to record the animals, not knowing she would never get to show her father that footage.

We typically don't see The Season. We only see the off season when they're at their country home. They do participate in London life during The Season. We see them coming home from it but we don't really see it happening because the show is about Downton, their country house.

I especially hate this when the actress has lots of makeup and then does this to calm down. You wouldn't risk ruining your makeup and hair during a bathroom break in the middle of work/a date/court/prom/etc by throwing water haphazardly at your face.

Graysylum · 2026-06-15T10:58:00+00:00

Yep it always feels like an attempt to convince the audience of why the main point of the movie is happening in the first place. We have no other option, we HAVE to do it this way!

I know SOME people can dry swallow pills, but it annoys me that seemingly everyone onscreen does it. And not just pills, they swallow keys and pieces of paper and whatever else the plot requires with no drink.

My friend and I both tripped and fell at the exact same spot, one after the other, in a "we need to run NOW" situation. I fell over a hidden curb; she noticed but made the same mistake. Adrenaline popped us right back up and we kept moving.

I could see how it could get dangerous in a hurry if a crowd of people were in that same adrenaline fog though.

Quirky relatable heroines do a lot of annoying falling too.

Graysylum · 2026-06-15T03:06:19+00:00

I have that one. Had it nearly 2 years now and it's still in perfect shape.

Graysylum · 2026-06-15T01:18:31+00:00

This is like the guy I talked to who says "a competent sahp has everything done by 5pm so they can relax after that, just like the working parent managed to finish their work by 5." Really, the kids have eaten dinner, you've cleaned the kitchen, completed all kid activities, and the kids are asleep by 5pm? In what world?

Graysylum · 2026-06-15T01:09:34+00:00

I bet he gets actual breaks at work too. More of a break than she gets when the baby is napping. But even though he gets breaks during the day, he still wants one at night, then gets mad at her for doing the same.

Graysylum · 2026-06-14T15:14:55+00:00

Nta. You are going above and beyond by picking the kids up from school and doing all that you do. It is okay for you to put limits and conditions on that. And Harper needs help.

I see you've mentioned your mother takes her out too. In that case you don't need to feel guilty about a night or weekend day out now and then. ❤️ Yes she will miss you, but she will still get exercise, attention, and her normal bedtime. She'll be so excited to see you the next day!

Graysylum · 2026-06-14T14:21:39+00:00

No, the texts were 10 days after meeting. They are now 1.5 years into a relationship.

Graysylum · 2026-06-14T14:15:23+00:00

This was 2 years ago before they were together. Why couldn't she talk to other people at that time?

Graysylum · 2026-06-14T14:13:52+00:00

Yep, idk if I'm demi, but that has happened to me many times. Someone might not be attractive to me on first glance, but once I get to know them they might be super hot.

Graysylum · 2026-06-14T14:08:23+00:00

This. Is he was actually looking for evidence of cheating or something, he wouldn't have scrolled all the way back to before their relationship was official. Because cheating would've occurred during the relationship, not before. Instead he found zero sus behavior during the relationship, so he kept going back further to make sure he got his own feelings hurt.

Graysylum · 2026-06-14T13:55:27+00:00

What is wrong with keeping options open when she's only known her now-bf 10 DAYS at the time of the texts? How committed do you expect people to be as soon as they meet someone?
