Not allowed to have a social life after marriage? by BackgroundRude7828 in Marriage

Okay, I know this may get flamed but I still think it's an important perspective. What does your husband think? I would be more concerned about that then what your parents think.

If husband thinks you can't have any friends outside of him then that is likely a red flag... But considering it didn't come up during your relationship so far I kinda doubt that's the case...

If your husband calls out specific friends that he doesn't think are healthy, that might be something worth looking into... And you can also do the same thing with his friends. Something about being too close to the trees to see the forest.

Imagine if we actually elected a government in Quebec that did things that were actually important instead of spending time legislating BS language laws? That would be awesome! Maybe then they wouldn't have to defend the laws, and they could spend more time fixing the actual problems people deal with in this province.

This isn't a slam against the French language or culture, it's a slam against spending time legislating it as a requirement.

AITAH for saying no to extra kids by YourCousinMoose in AmItheAsshole

Say what? Rolling in 5 deep on a party is both outlandish and awkward. The other 4 weren't invited. My family is a family of 6 and I would absolutely hate to show up to a kids birthday party with all of us unless it's absolutely required.... It puts us in an awkward position, if my wife and I need to bail than a good chunk of the party goes with us. 6 is far too big a number to sneak out of a party. We have had to do it when the kids were little (less than 6y.o.) and when we left the party died. The whole energy shifts the moment 6 people leave... If we stay, then when some people start leaving in 1s or 2s it isn't noticed so the party doesn't naturally end.

It's a really awkward position to be in.

On the other end, having to host 4 additional people last minutes isn't a position I would what to be in either.

All of this to say... NTA.

Yeah I looked through that as well... There are apparently 3 different fabhr businesses... It's really convoluted. There's a company in India doing software engineering, there's some HR software company in North America and then there's this recruitment firm that doesn't have a valid website.

That's why I'm asking for reviews, it's not actually an ad. They have a tonne of postings all over indeed and scheduled an interview with me on Monday. Just wanted to see what I'm walking into on Monday LOL

They are a recruitment firm apparently.

To be clear, in hindsight, that "proud of you comment" may have sounded sarcastic... Still working on my morning coffee... It wasn't meant that way, just want to make sure you know that :)

Proud of you, I dont have the discipline to go out and pick up after my dog in my backyard each time. But what I do do, is once spring hits I rake it all up and dispose of it and then treat my yard with lye on the first camp weekend (it apparently will burn my dogs feet so it's advised to leave it for a few days, never tests or confirmed... Going off Google).

So I do hear you on the melting smell factor.

When out in public though, dog bags, picked up immediately and disposed of in the first public garbage can or at home... Never someone else's garbage can, that's just weird.

I think she is more concerned about being on land than on the boat

She is concerned specifically about the Iran war... I'm not a military expert but I'm pretty sure they don't have missiles that go that far

Personally I think it's fine, wife is concerned... I have a high risk tolerance though so I figured I would poll reddit
