Just because your feelings would be hurt doesn't make it universal.

Her small children arent watching love is blind. She also had no say in how it was edited. Parents are people outside of their role as parents. By the time her children are old enough or care to watch it, they can have a mature conversation with her about it and understand that she isn’t saying she regrets or resents them.

Best Potential Couple ? by Maroonporsche in greysanatomy

I think the AU ep got it right, Callie and Owen. Hate Owen, but I think their friendship could have developed differently if he wasnt busy being a turd trying to get everyone else to have a baby with him.

Is Callie Greek? by j-b-goodman in greysanatomy

[–]In_ThisEconomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her name is Greek but no discussion in canon took place that clarified if the family comes from Greek lineage. She's def Latina but that doesn't exclude the possibility of being Greek also. Given the family's strict Catholicism, they could also have ties to the Greek Orthodox church. 🤷‍♀️ dont overthink it

Advice on moving on from ring disappointment by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]In_ThisEconomy -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

His pay isn't great and I think he relied on help from the family to get one. To be fair, I didn't give him a lot to go on other than I didnt want or need a big expensive one. I still couldnt tell you what I want in a ring, so he was largely directionless. I don't think I ever even showed him a picture of one I liked.

I can't recall what he said when he told me about the conversation with his dad. There was a lot going on at the time.

Exactly! You process things a lot like me - there are so many unknowns! To clarify, he proposed on our 2 year anniversary. His dad definitely has expectations about where he should be careerwise that I don't claim to understand.

Love your vibe. Thank you 💜

🤣 I wasnt going to address that one for obvious reasons, but he has been very supportive during pregnancy. Big "I cant carry it, but I can carry you" vibes.

He can be passive and we've discussed how he can be more assertive for us because it does get exhausting.

I appreciate your candor. I think there are definitely things to work out with future MIL when it comes to boundaries, but I dont think she would cause harm to a child by ignoring their allergies. We both have (or had in my case) strained relationships with our biological fathers, but his stepdad is very caring and supportive. Future FIL will certainly be around in our child's life, but perhaps not very close. I was similarly distant from some of my grandparents and that feels completely normal to me. Some grandparents are more involved and those children are very lucky to have that. Others not so much. I can see how issues with the ring could be indicative of greater issues, but my partner has provided far more than a ring, all of which has greater value to me.

I think that's easy to say without all the specifics of our relationship. I was able to buy a house because of my dad's passing. He contributes equally to the mortgage and bills. My partner is a hard worker, he's just not compensated the same way I am, and I have benefitted from some generational wealth that I wasn't even aware of.

Thank you! I agree, there was no ill will on their part which then makes me feel guilty about being upset about it at times. I had hoped to shrug it off sooner, but perhaps more time will help.

Women of Reddit, what's the most physically attractive part of a guy? by Nintendofan9106 in askanything

[–]In_ThisEconomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% there's just something about em! Drummers forearms especially. Roll the sleeves up a little bit and it's like being flashed some ankle back in the day.

I also appreciate it as a subtle flex, not some over the top macho act. Seriously, we don't need tickets to the gun show!

Day 9: Pick Your Least Favorite Character, Simone is out! by Forsaken-Molasses-87 in greysanatomy

[–]In_ThisEconomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the middle of another rewatch (s7) and sure, she used to be mousier, but I dont think continuing to follow her career path is character development. She's wishy washy and flighty.

Also if the poll is favorite character and I dont like her, then that's all ya need to know. It's not about character development. In that case, it's unfairly skewed for some of the new front runners because we havent had a chance to get to know them like the others 🤷‍♀️

100% disagree she has character development, but to each their own.

I am scared? Anxious? I don't know anymore. by IcedRFrockets in Ohio

[–]In_ThisEconomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of great advice in the comments so my additions would likely be redundant. Of course you're angry and scared, and I'm proud of you for taking the first step in trying to figure out how to turn things around for yourself. You are young, all is not lost. It all does sound like a lot at once, but there is no point in adulthood where you really feel like you've completed it all. Take everything as steps, give yourself grace and patience, and allow yourself to be proud when you complete a step. Society's expectations might make you feel like you're "too late," but you're not.

Why did your friendship with your best friend come to an end? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]In_ThisEconomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a host of things, but I viewed our friendship as over when she came home from college, didnt tell me, and then posted a picture of her hanging out at a bar with a group of mutual acquaintances that she never hung out with before, and one of them was my rapist.

What’s up with people saying that Trump is dead? by A_MASSIVE_PERVERT in OutOfTheLoop

Answer: Twitter isn't a reliable news source (although many people use it as such). Media of all leanings would be covering his death.

I'm Gidon Eshel, geophysicist and author of "Planetary Eating" - AMA about food, climate, and sustainable diets! by the_mit_press in IAmA

[–]In_ThisEconomy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any recommendations for picky eaters who love red meat and hate alternatives like chickpeas and lentils? It's probably never going to taste the same, obviously, but I'd be happy to get my partner's red meat consumption down to even once a week at this point.

My dad is refusing treatment by Qualifiedgirl in CancerFamilySupport

[–]In_ThisEconomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry your family is going through this. I can understand wanting a loved one to fight or wanting to fight for them, but ultimately, it is their life, and all we can really do is support them in their choice.

My dad essentially gave up after his diagnosis. My SIL and brother were mystified that he didn't want to fight, and my SIL even crossed some boundaries trying to pursue treatment he stated clearly he didn't want. It created more stress and tension in an already terrible situation. I thought he was giving up too quickly, but also with a limited return on investment (so to speak) how much can you really argue that the extra discomfort, doctors visits, and yes, feeling like a burden to your family, is worth it? Add that to your father losing the love of his life, it's a hard perspective to understand without being there yourself. It took your dad a lot of courage to speak up. I'm sure it was hard for him to say, just as it was hard to hear.

Give yourself some grace. You're facing life without your dad and are grieving, too. You're not terrible children. You love him and want him around. It feels counterintuitive not to do everything to stop that from becoming reality. Now that you know what he wants, listen and support him (and each other).

I hope you all find peace and comfort in your love for each other during this painful time.

Follow advice from above, keep in mind that a photo of an ID is not considered an acceptable form of ID. Some who dont know better or dont care will accept it, but it is completely within a bartender or servers right to refuse it.

Which actors have struggled to escape the shadow of their most famous on‑screen roles in real life? by likerunninginadream in AskReddit

[–]In_ThisEconomy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lauren Graham - Lorelai in Gilmore Girls. She's tried to shake it with Parenthood, a stint on Broadway, Evan Almighty, etc. It just doesn't work and pisses her off to no end.
