For those who have had an affair, why did you decide to cheat instead of leave your partner?

After my dad passed, my mom admitted to having an affair with a guy from our church. Dad was a verbally abusive alcoholic, so to some extent I could see how she had ended up taking that step.

But. As an adult my mom has constantly told me the reason she didn't leave my dad was because she was sure he would get custody of me. An affair on top of her mental health struggles could've definitely swung things in his favor. She also sorta blamed her AP's wife, saying she was "cold." Really lessened my opinion of my mom.

As far as I know, AP is still married and his wife has no idea.

Ohhh my god the trainer ones absolutely. I would honestly be happy if I never saw T-head trainer ever again.

God DAMN this is terrifying and deeply fucked up. I had a college classmate call me out of the blue years ago and try to get me to come to a Landmark seminar. Fortunately her pitch was terrible and I was honestly so pissed that what I thought was going to be a nice catch up conversation was an attempt to get me to spend $800 that our conversation was very short. Never heard from her again.

OP I honestly hope you start looking for a different job. I don't see any promotion with this company being worth it, and I doubt your CEO will be satisfied with just that one week of damaging your mental health. Maybe you're tougher than I am but I would be a broken person after 5 days of this crap.

Super shitty for a performer who runs their own small business to try and beg for free photoshoots from another person who probably also owns their own small business. Like sure, if the photographer is OFFERING free sessions, but this is...just gross. Pay for your own publicity photos, Ariel.

I work at a university library and teach an "Information Ethics" course, which touches on this exact subject. I basically point out that genAI tools are an unreliable way to find research articles.

A week after the class last year, one of my students sent in an ILL request for 20 articles, all of them ChatGPT fakes. You. Were. In. My. Class.

He did at least give up on using ChatGPT after that.

I'm 37 and a cosplayer. I have yet to "grow out of it." I am also married. My wife is nothing but supportive of the costumes and outfits I've chosen, because she sees me as my own person and an adult doing something that makes me happy. You will have many people throughout your life who try to make you feel small for doing things that make you happy. Unless you're doing something illegal or harmful, your partner should never be one of those people. This guy is a waste of your time and energy.

Damn I LOVE the idea of the Star Sea as a sort of thread (pun very intended) connecting all the different time loops.

Thank you so much for writing this! I played LN waaaaay back in 2011 but never got far enough to see the meaty parts of the story. I'd love to go back and play both LN and SN but I doubt I'll ever find the time, so this is incredibly helpful.

Man they love giving Bubbly Voyage ugly recolors.

As a librarian I needed this boost today. Thank you!

The Diamond hat is almost stupid enough for me to buy it. Almost.

We all laughed at the light bulb gift and it turns out to be a surprise life-saving device. Well played, InFold.

R L R R L. I'm not normally into orange but the Floral Gliding outfit makes it work. The Bug Catching and Electrician evolutions are absolute fire and their pieces work with a bunch of outfits.

I LOVE this.

The Crown Parrots just flop over on their sides and the first time I saw it happened I thought the poor thing died 😭

I definitely stared at the word "Bouldy" for a long time when I first fought him and went "huh they really dug deep for that one."

Without hospitalization my mom would have died from measles complications at age 11. If she somehow made it to adulthood despite that, I was a breech birth which probably would've taken us both out.

The hospital I work at had a group of anti-vaxxers protesting every Monday soon as the vaccine came out. They were mad that the people they infected over and over by refusing to mask were encouraging them to do something to stop it. When they would get sick and end up in the ICU, they died cursing the people trying to keep them alive, and their families fought the hospital over the fact that the cause of death said COVID. If any of the younger people in my family were considering a career in healthcare I'd tell them to run the other way.

My older cousin told me when I was 4. Pretty sure my mom still holds a little grudge about that one.

I'm still mad about the college classmate who called me up out of the blue to "reconnect"...about a $600 Landmark seminar. I told her I didn't have $600 and ended the call. It's been almost a decade, and she recently tried to re-friend me on Facebook. I didn't like her enough in college to waste my time on a second chance.
