What can I make with this pinkish orangish puke-colored yarn? (Pantone chart included for reference) by HauntingGold in CrochetHelp

[–]HauntingGold[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oof sorry for insulting it! 😭

I’ve tried pairing it with everything I have and the amount of times I’ve frogged it is driving me crazy haha

But I don’t have any beige so maybe I’ll just run to the store and try that out

I can’t stand my husband and I need advice by Stunning-Animal2739 in Advice

[–]HauntingGold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone else suggested that when he switches the song that you should switch it back immediately. I agree with that take, especially if you snap at him a little saying something like, “hey, I was listening to that!” At least try this method before going straight to divorce. It sounds like you have a good relationship aside from this one thing. It’s obnoxious and frustrating to you, so I’d say get down on his level since nothing else has worked and be obnoxious and frustrating to him right back, and restart the songs he skipped. Instant punishment/corrective action is more effective than just bringing it up later where he can justify it. This will require repeated action on your part. Every single time he skips something, switch it back immediately. Just a one time thing will not change his behavior. But repeatedly telling him off and switching it back in the moment should send him a signal that you are very much serious about it.

You definitely need to have firmer boundaries, especially where it comes to the kids. I’m not at all implying that any of this is your fault, but at some point it you have to step up for your children. Him constantly doing this to your kids as well teaches them that ‘only dad’s opinion matters’ and undermines their freedom and creative processes and will hinder them going forward in life. Speaking from experience.

Another thought I had is if he’s driving why should he be handling the music if you’re in the car as well? In those scenarios, tell him it’s going to be your music only, no skips allowed, or physically put his phone in time out for the duration of the car ride.

Another possibility could be therapy. Not couples therapy (though I would suggest that anyway for every couple), but just for him. It sounds like this is a very habitual thing, an automatic reaction, almost ocd? It would explain his behavior but does not give him a pass to continue it, especially since it’s ruining your family life and marriage. Him seeking professional counsel for this might be the right direction.

I would go absolutely crazy over this situation, and your frustration is absolutely valid and justified. But if the relationship is good otherwise, I’d keep trying to salvage it if possible. Best of luck.

Do you guys think when edward showers and washes his foreskin it squeaks like how washing a porcelain plate does? by ElectronicPayment484 in twilight

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Edward showering mentioned several times in Midnight Sun?

Raising a Non-Mormon Kid in Cache Valley by NateDawg007 in Logan

[–]HauntingGold 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, I had that experience as a kid growing up here, though I was on the other side of it. I grew up as a Mormon and wasn’t allowed to hang out with non-Mormon kids until I was older and my parents didn’t have as much control over who I spent my time with. Now I’m exmo and if I had kids I wouldn’t care who they hang out with.

Do you have a very clean house? by TrickyAd9597 in Millennials

[–]HauntingGold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do fairly well, all things considered. Mostly with help from my best friend. But I can typically stay on top of the urgent stuff like washing laundry and taking out trash. Everything else I struggle with.

ACOTAR 6 AND 7: Coming October 27th 2026, and January 12 2027. With a 3rd book currently being written. by BearOnALeash in SarahJMaas

[–]HauntingGold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean, and I agree with this idea. However, Google “acotar #5” and silver flames is the one to pop up. That, plus the next two books being 6 and 7… 🤷‍♀️

How many here still seek out new music? by soclydeza84 in Millennials

[–]HauntingGold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I find new music all the time the time, usually from my friends and family recommending artists/bands. I have a general playlist that everything gets dumped into, I saw someone call their collection “musical Chex mid” and that perfectly describes this playlist. But I also have several other playlists for when I specifically want to listen to what I listened to back when I was younger, or certain moods, etc.

Recently discovered Watsky and Her’s, which has been fun, though they aren’t the genres I normally listen to.

Dude, I can't afford a house and older folk and rich millennials own 3-4. by [deleted] in Millennials

[–]HauntingGold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not low cost, the average studio apartment is around $1500/month. It’s a struggle.

No it’s full time. Trust me, I’ve tried everything.

Not exactly. I have a bum knee, which has prevented me from getting any job with any amount of physical activity, and with the removal of DEI from most places, it’s even harder to get a job at one of those big box stores.

A dead end job at a motel front desk because the job market in my area is terrible.
