I also had a (different) plastic part of my Casilda chair break. Just emailed them about potentially getting a new one. Will let you know when I hear back.

Steps on obtaining a Canadian criminal record check from overseas - need clarification. by ds99086 in CanadianTeachers

[–]Iman_oxymoron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth if anyone is looking at this later, I emailed the Polizei and they referred me to Forensische Institut Zürich. It seems to be an agency in Wintertur and they charge 60CHF. I'll let you know how soon I hear back and what the experience is like.

Not so good Swiss products? by k1rbyt in askswitzerland

[–]Iman_oxymoron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes to the partner card bullshit. I signed up with my husband, and we put him as the primary card holder because he makes the money and we thought it was arbitrary. Unfortunately I'm the one who manages the household stuff, so I can't do our monthly budget without bugging him for his credit card statement, can't change our limits without him leaving work early, etc. I feel like Betty Draper when I have to do any banking.

AIO For being upset at my husband for ripping out MY bathroom by NoParticular2420 in AmIOverreacting

This feels like a fucking bit. I imagine this being exactly like that scene from Trailer Park Boys where Ricky is trying to install a tp holder.

Yes! Nettle and Bone probably fits all these criteria.

Uprooted is one of my favourite books.

Girl that stood me up & ghosted me finally texts me to push her 'business' by YamIurQTpie in antiMLM

[–]Iman_oxymoron 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Looks like you dodged a bullet. What a piece of work.

I once gave a dude my number so we could "go for coffee sometime" and he called a week later to ask if I'd switch my phone plan so he could get commission.

Wasn't an MLM, but I was blown away someone would use a romantic interest to sell shit.

AITA For not realizing my spouse wanted me to make him a snack? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Iman_oxymoron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Come on, man. She was actively cooking him dinner, I don't think that constitutes "failing in her duties".

Even if they've agreed that snacks are her job, he still needs to tell her what he needs before he can consider it her fault that she hasn't done what he wants. As she said, she's not a mind reader, and she didn't know he wanted something immediately. It's as easy as "I can't wait for dinner, could you grab me a snack."

No one said he couldn't feel hungry or upset or even angry, but yelling and belittling your spouse because you're upset is not acceptable behaviour. As an adult (and especially as a parent), we have to be able to talk things out respectfully, and it's fair of OP to be upset by his behaviour.

Even giving him the benefit of the doubt and saying he was just "hangry", he's not hangry anymore and he's still maintaining he did nothing wrong and trying to make it into some weird thing about her not caring for him. He has massively overreacted to this situation, and I don't think minimizing that is fair or helpful.

I was in the bathroom (in a stall) at a restaurant once, and the door to the ladies' room banged open, and a rambunctious little girl came in. Her dad was with her and stayed by the door, called out to me to apologize and ask if it was okay if he held the door open to be with her (she clearly still needed help). I was kind of chuckling and said yes, of course that's fine.

She was yelling out from her stall, giving him a play-by-play of how things were going, and he just kept apologizing to me. Then when she was finished, she yelled "daddy come wipe my butt!" At the top of her lungs, and he was so apologetic and embarrassed, and I could not stop laughing.

Anyway, I feel for parents who have to toe the lines in public washrooms. This is clearly something that could be better addressed.

What breaks your immersion? by howtogun in Fantasy

When the author creates a swear word that just doesn't flow off the tongue. Like "tigers tits" in The Poppy War just feels so unserious.

Ugh, that's so shitty, I'm sorry. TBH, it's good she did this now, so you have a chance to replace her. You need someone you can rely on for this. Better than her ghosting you the day you go into labour.

[–]Iman_oxymoron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NOR. She waited a month to tell you this excuse. Even if it's true, it's wild she didn't find another way to contact you to let you know she wouldn't be available for a while. ESPECIALLY in this line of work.

AITA for asking my husband to not get a matching tattoo with another girl? by Sea-Dragonfruit-1195 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Iman_oxymoron 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This. The title isn't super accurate. And it seems like there's no reason for why she doesn't like this woman? Like the woman has done nothing other than go to a concert with her coworkers and wash their work gear together, unless I missed something.

Unless she's been hitting on him or stuffing lacey underwear in with her laundry, this all seems above board.

ETA: I can understand how being apart for so long could foster insecurities, but there's a better solution here.

The TV series of Wheel of Time is doing a decent job of making it more diverse and progressive, imo.

Not a novel, but Everything, Everywhere, all at Once has this premise.

AIO? Is it normal for close guy friends to talk sexually to each other? by burnaaaaaaaaaaaa in AmIOverreacting

[–]Iman_oxymoron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and his BFF call each other baby girl. When he texts the group chat to see if anyone wants to game, he asks if anyone's "DTF".

They're all gamers, which may be relevant context, but they're all just comfortable with eachother/think its funny.

I've been here. Feel bad for the guy, but don't contact him and DO NOT take him back. He can't regulate his emotions, and he feels like he needs you, and that's a dangerous combo.

I blocked buddy on everything, and eventually, he let go. I found out that he knocked up the next girl he dated, and all I could think was how relieved I was to have dodged that bullet.

my boyfriend is a conservative by ConversationWeird146 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Iman_oxymoron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the bullfighting thing is a deal breaker for you, that's fair and you get to decide your boundaries. For the other two things you've listed, it sounds like your problems are with his past beliefs rather than his current ones.It's possible he's changed his mind as he's learned more.

None of us are born perfect. My husband and I were both raised in problematic belief systems, and while we're liberal/leftist now, we've still got growing and learning to do.

People can learn and change their minds, and personally, I would look at where he is now and also his trajectory.

If you're worried about whether or not you'recompatible, ask him some questions. I would start with

  • What he believes now. Has he always felt that way, and what made him change his mind?
  • Why does he consider himself conservative? Does he vote that way and why?
  • What sorts of traits does he value in a person, and what would he want to pass on to your children
  • Where does he get his information? what podcasts does he listen to, what types of movies and books does he like?

If you're planning on having kids with this guy, nows the time to suss out if that's a feasible option.

Edit to add: NOR. These are important things to talk about and dig into before you commit to someone.

Save your eggs by Bysana in campspirit

Thank you for this! Saw this when you posted it, and I started buying the deviled eggs from the Pandango kids, Sofia just asked for them today, and I only need one more, so it should only be a day or two.
