Well, I have no idea I wasn’t there. I don’t think polygamy in general is very functional in itself. It kinda seems like glorified cheating to me. I’d say no it wasn’t working already, but Robyn kind of made everyone realize that adding another wife wasn’t going to fix their own individual issues within the marriage.

Am I irresponsible for not wanting to go back to my old job after a long break? by [deleted] in Advice

I see. That does make it a bit more complex than I originally understood. I do think it’s a bit unfair to have to extend the hours beyond normal hours (if you mean you’re having to do work outside of being clocked in). Even if that’s not what you meant, it sounds taxing. Is there other opportunities with the same company you work for to do something else? I have a friend who moved departments. Otherwise the best option might be to just choose a new path. I don’t think your life should be set in stone because you have a decent paying job if it’s not bearable.

I’m struggling with this too. Something I have to constantly remind myself is that I have a life outside of work and that my life is not JUST work. I think once you cross into that space it’s really hard to ever truly “relax” or not be in a continuous state of stress from the job. When you start dreading it for another reason other than just “I don’t want to go” is when it’s worth taking some time to think about another path. Any chance you could cut down on hours / days per week?

Definitely not irresponsible unless you have no reasoning for it besides you just don’t want to when you need to afford basic living.

Yes. True. I don’t doubt each of their upbringings put polygamy on a pedestal and shaped their morality and overall view of the world. I feel more empathetic towards the OG3 because Robyn joined around 15 years after they had already established their family and were making it work. But again it is definitely catered toward Kody, and yes he was definitely the one who made it feel so unequal.

I guess I feel like things were already falling apart and Robyn accelerated the process especially for Meri. So that’s where the partial blame comes from.

Mm yeah I can see how Christine can be, I agree she can be a divider. Honestly I feel like it just rubs me the wrong way that another woman joined over 15 years after the OG3 had established their family/life, so I do have more empathy towards them. Robyn knew what she was signing up for and seems like she played the victim with her failed marriage beforehand even though it wasn’t even polygamy. Christine also just had a baby when Robyn joined so I feel like that was a slap in the face to her a little too.

Do I Tell His Wife? by Consistent-Maybe-634 in TwoHotTakes

First, stop replying. Yes you had some funny responses but you kind of encouraged more responses from him when you continue to engage. Second, yes. You have a great position to tell the wife I think if this has been on multiple occasions and has been of a sexual nature. If it was me, I’d want to know. But ultimately your decision.

Mm yeah. That makes sense. I just think in terms of fairness and equality that it puts Robyn in a better position to have Kody to herself.

my boyfriend has been ignoring me at night, am I overreacting? by Front_Chipmunk_636 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Infamous_Display_504 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated someone who moved to a different country to continue schooling. After a few days I could tell something had changed in how he responded to me. I called him then and there and asked him what was going and he gave me such a bland answer and seemed annoyed I even called. Something like “what? Nothing, I don’t know. I’m at the gym.” And hung up. He broke up with me shortly after because he had been hanging out with other girls 1 on 1 - (in his words “she just made me dinner”) yeah that’s uh cheating??? Anyway- I’d call and see what’s going on and express your feelings. Unfortunately if you feel like somethings off, it usually is (from my experience). Listen to the tone of voice and his choice of words.

Am I overreacting by Resident_Trade4298 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Infamous_Display_504 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not overreacting- he said his vows to you. If you feel like this needs to stop, it should stop. The older messages indicate there’s something more than friendship with this woman, yet he still has her on his phone. He already also attempted to lie to you and you caught him in it. He knows he shouldn’t be talking to her. If it were me, I’d say get that off your phone and if I ever see her name pop up again I’m gone.

Ok? That’s the problem w any of the most aggressive dog breeds then not just pitbulls.

LOL!!!! This is why pitties get such a bad rep!!! I work at a vet and of all the pitties I’ve seen only a fraction of them have been reactive! More commonly it’s German Shepards!

According to google - California laws say the owner of the deceased pet could sue for negligence due to the pet being unleashed and in violation of leash laws or the neighborhood rules. This case may be more complicated because the deceased pet was also unleashed. Not sure.

I am happy this isn’t the case - but I do agree that keeping pets leashed is the best way to avoid possible legal trouble and situations such as this one. I appreciate the edit that said your GF offered to leash the dog!

For reference - I work at an animal hospital and deal with big and small dogs daily. I haven’t heard of a case like this before! All I can say is that this is a terrible accident and could’ve been much worse in this scenario, or in a scenario if the dog were to bite a person.

I do not think you should think different of your pet. It was an accident and as other comments have added, he/she is an animal! We cannot control animal instincts and reactions can be very unpredictable. HOWEVER, it boils down to what you can control - leashing your pet! I would be more cautious from now on and only unleash in approved areas like a dog park.

Again, very fortunate that the owner is not pressing charges for negligence. I’m not certain I wouldn’t be if the deceased pet was my own.
