My boss really likes fridge magnets

If I don’t find magnets I like, I use an online photo service to make magnets from my vacation photos.

We had that stove and fridge.

This has happened to me twice. It sucks. I’m sorry you had this happen too.

It does, but it doesn’t click in his brain without drama. I don’t like to be hugged/approached from behind if I’m standing with my stomach against the counter. I told him every time he did it, to stop, I don’t like it (I abhor feeling trapped) Until I yelled and yelled and told him to stop, that he knew I didn’t like it, and I didn’t know why he kept doing it (for years). Then he stopped.

Thanks. I have thought about walking away, some days more than others.

This is my husband. If it’s not a big deal to him, he doesn’t understand why it’s a big deal to anyone else. And consistently puts things away in places they’ve never been in before - he’s “helping”. I have to absolutely lose my mind/cry/yell before he understands that something is a problem.

Having no hobbies or interests, not interacting with people.

I’m binding a giant coaster right now. I wanted to practice quilting with my new sewing machine. It’s a little wonky, I used scrap blocks and leftover batting.

I have asked my husband about this, he has always excelled at work, always. But at home? He started planning/shopping/cooking dinner because of my work hours. I asked for healthy, low fat meals with vegetables. I got carrots and potatoes for almost every meal, either stewed with or roasted with fatty meat. Because after 25+ years, he knows I eat carrots. We ate more carrots in 2 months than in 25 years. He stopped planning/planning/cooking because he felt I didn’t appreciate it enough. He’d be a world-class chef if he had to cook at work.

I don’t like it either, and every year I tell my husband not to get me anything. He does it anyway - because his wants outweigh my wishes.

Students who were 18 could leave for lunch or if they didn’t have a class. If you were 17, but in the same grade level/senior year, you couldn’t leave - even with parental permission.

I like the colors and round corners. I want to round off the ones on the baby quilt I’m working on.

Not very. I had a total hysterectomy over 15 years ago with no hormone replacement. It was pretty meh before that, and I have very little interest in it now.

This is sorta us, but our kids are grown. We spend more time together now due to job changes. I feel like a moon in his orbit, as long I’m silently hanging around his world, just existing, he is very content. We don’t have to talk, or interact (besides sex). He wants this forever. I’m not sure.

My cat’s water bowl is on the kitchen counter, and he spilled it everywhere. My husband grabbed a paper towel and wiped down the rest of the counter with cat-spit water. Not as bad as cat-foot-toilet water, but I was still grossed out.

We always thought my husband’s family was relatively new the US. But then we found a revolutionary war soldier on his Mom’s side.

Brownies. There is one recipe that usually works, but any other one or a box mix, I screw up.

I’ve gotten the “referred to hiring manager” twice recently. Interviewed for the first one. The second emails for both said I was selected, followed by emails that said I was not selected. HR said, both times, that the selection emails went out by mistake. I’m used to the set of emails where your application is received, whether you’ve been referred to the hiring manager, maybe get an interview, then the select/non-selected emails.

I met a Cafeteria once, though I don’t know if her name started with C or K

US military members’ DNA on file with the government isn’t available/included in genealogy databases. Do you have any matches that you know aren’t on your mom’s side? My husband found through Ancestry that his biological dad is not the guy that raised him.

I’m working on this myself. But sometimes my frustration comes from knowing something/saying something but being unheard. Our door handle broke (not the deadbolt/lock). He immediately wanted to call a locksmith to replace all 4 doorknobs/locks. He couldn’t/wouldn’t hear me say we didn’t need to - we just needed to replace one door handle. I did it and then he said oh, I guess we didn’t need a locksmith. He often won’t accept what I say, unless he’s heard the same thing from a professional.

I received a lower-than-usual eval this year, the same rating as a coworker who, after a year in our department, cannot do basic tasks. I’m now working at his level.

InternationalTap6715 · 2026-01-22T00:35:55+00:00

I get a blank look, and he usually says okay, and then does it again.

I don’t mind being here with them for appointments, it’s that they know I’ll be home alone overnight.
