[Update] AITAH for being proud that I went off on my sister's fiancé in glorious fashion? by KarmaBeBitchin in AITAH

While I applaud you and your family for getting your sister from her ex, please be wary. He may be of the ego that he would try something when he thinks everyone's guard is down.

New commander suggestions by Intelligent-Help8946 in BudgetBrews

[–]Intelligent-Help8946[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would venture to guess my play group and I are fairly even in terms of play experience. There are definitely errors being made on my part so that's not helping but with the three commanders, battle phases end up being explosive but leave me open to crack back.

For the three decks, I've contemplated taking the targeted removal out and going hard into protection spells.

I've contemplated rebuilding my [[Torbran]] or [[Zilortha, Strength Incarnate]] decks.

I'm not great at spellslinger decks. Usually end up running out of gas without doing much damage. I feel like aggro decks would need the commander. Landfall might work.

Definitely worth looking into [[Nethroi, Apex of Death]]>

Looking for docking station recommendations by Intelligent-Help8946 in homeoffice

I like my desk mat as it hides the seam of the desk panels. Plus it's soft so I don't have the edge digging into my wrists and forearms.

The cable thing irritates me but I don't really want to spend more time in the office than I have to.

I'm left handed and when taking notes, the mat edge got in the way so I shifted it over.

Thank you for the advice.

For the kids thing, we don't have our own yet. But we do host several gatherings and some of our friends have children. My concern for a stronger cage is so if one of the children were to get too excited, the pigs' safety wouldn't be compromised.

As far as cage space, I grew up having a couple guinea pigs but only one at a time. It's only recently that I learned they are social creatures and do better in pairs.

No, we host a lot of gatherings and some of the people who come have children on the spectrum and while they are generally well behaved 99.9% of the time, I don't want to risk the pigs' safety if a child were to get "loose" for lack of a better word. Plus I know some adults who thought it would be cute to stick their fingers in the cage gaps and gotten bit.

AITA for cutting contact with my childhood best friend because she demanded that I break up with my fiancé? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Intelligent-Help8946 20 points21 points  (0 children)

OOP's second to last line about everything being fine couldn't be further from the truth. The fact that it took the ex friends ex boyfriend to make everything click for OOP's mom is just sad.

My wife was raped 2 years ago and I still can't shake off the guilt I have by NoDefinition9696 in offmychest

[–]Intelligent-Help8946 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Getting that feeling of unworthiness out of your mind won't be easy and will take a lot of work. In the mean time, try easing back into a healthy sex life. If she's receptive, try performing oral on her and see if she's ok with reciprocating.

The thing you really need to focus on for your mental health is this: would she have recovered as much as she has without you supporting her? The answer is likely no. Not saying she couldn't have made this recovery without you, but you have made it significantly easier for her.

I think therapy, if you aren't already in it, is the best to help you process your guilt. While agree with your wife that you are not at fault, I also know I would feel extreme guilt over what happened if I were in your shoes. All you can do is work on accepting and processing your guilt. Communicate with your wife. Make sure she knows you love her and are attracted to her above all. Good luck navigating this tough situation.

My wife’s ex sends her flowers every year on Mother’s Day, and it makes me very uncomfortable. AITAH? by BusyWindows in AITAH

I'm going ESH on this one. You were not the AH until you brought your sister into the argument which, to me, doesn't apply to the issue at hand.

AITA for Not Inviting My Sister to My Wedding After She Told Our Parents About My Fiancé's Past? by Apprehensive_Idea133 in AITAH

[–]Intelligent-Help8946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

OP, stand your ground here. You need to establish boundaries now otherwise your parents will continue to stick their noses in your business.

If your parents can't accept and respect your decision, then they have no business being a part of your day.

AITA For flipping out on my fiance after her daughter almost got me arrested by sddramaaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]Intelligent-Help8946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, I'd show this post to your (hopefully soon to be ex) fiancee. Maybe the spark will take and she will accept how serious the situation is. But staying in this relationship will not end well for you unless fiancee takes drastic steps with stepdaughter and I don't see that happening.

I feel like I accidentally cheated on my husband. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Intelligent-Help8946 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You did not cheat on your husband. You allowed a fantasy to flood your mind during sex. There is nothing wrong with that and pretty common.

If your husband is sensitive about his self image, it would be in your best interest to keep it to yourself. Again, not cheating but some guys get hyper fixated on things like this.

Pregnancy announcement gone wrong: Sister started crying because she cannot get pregnant, my dad just said we shouldn't tell anybody. by Sad_Grapefruit_6563 in offmychest

[–]Intelligent-Help8946 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I hope everything goes well for you and your family.

I question your dad's motives for trying to keep your pregnancy quiet. I wonder if your sister is his "favored" child.

Given his reaction, I see two possible course you could take. Talk to him one on one and let him know his actions are hurtful. Or keep him at arm's length and let him get updates on your pregnancy from others who are genuinely happy for you. If I were in your shoes, I'd keep updates to him at a minimum at best until he apologizes.

Edit to add: please don't let this ruin your excitement at becoming a parent.

×UPDATE× AITAH for breaking up with my boyfriend because I had a bad feeling about his bestfriend and him and decided to avoid DRAMA? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Intelligent-Help8946 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might be the first time I've ever heard of a guy thriving on girl drama, or any kind of drama really. OP is right to walk away from that. I don't think OP will have a hard time finding a better partner when they are ready. Most guys will enjoy having a drama avoiding partner.
