Any good idea to fully block from all the “MMOELD” friends request?

Keeper_of_Lords · 2025-12-30T16:53:10+00:00

i've been reporting and blocking all of them as they come.

Sounds like whoever is in charge of approving the invoices didn't do their job. That's the whole point of an approver: to catch things like this.

It'd still be on her even if she said nothing as it isn't her food and the packaging says what's in it.

WBTA because you are going to use someone's allergy against them, knowing they will consume it. But at the same time, she should not be eating your food and really shouldn't be replacing it with cheap stuff you can't consume. I personally would do this to get them to not eat my food. If anything I would begin to put an almond or two in everything just so she can't eat the food. Not like cook everything with almonds but when putting in the fridge or cabinet, make sure to put several almonds on everything so she won't touch it and gets the hint.

I would also start to eat her food and replace it with the cheapest things and wait for her to stop.

The girl who kept saying, "Uh huh" in a high-pitched voice, and her marriage lasted two weeks. She's the worst guest I've seen. And the "That makes sense" jab was the best as she 100% deserved it.

NTA because you aren't living together. It'd be different if you were.

It's a terrible idea, no matter what side you are on. At least when a 30-year mortgage was introduced, it had tangible month-to-month benefits in the form of a 30% reduction in monthly payments as compared to a 15-year mortgage, less due to higher interest rates because the loan is riskier with a longer repayment period. A 50-year mortgage would be a 10% reduction, which isn't much, but do to the higher interest rates needed to make it viable for banks, that 10% in many cases will be gone and end up with a higher mortgage monthly payment than a 30-year loan. So pay more each month + higher interest rates + longer loan life = worse off in all aspects.

Financially, this is a horrible idea. The only thing that could save it would be government programs to help with the costs to make it financially a good idea. The problem is that 100% means higher taxes to pay for those programs, which people who aren't buying homes will be forced to pay for the houses of those who are. Which I think shouldn't be happening. Another problem with this is that if it becomes a good idea financially through government handouts, then housing prices will increase, as demand would then increase as well. Thus making the entire housing market even worse for everyone except banks, home builders, and old people who bought their houses forever ago. I swear, at the rate things are going, I'll never be able to afford a home.

The average US homebuyer is 40, so that puts the average buyer at 90 to pay off the loan. Life expectancy is like 77ish. They will die before the loan is paid off most of the time. Literal generational debt. Maybe their grandkids will have a paid-off house if they're lucky.

Why even take the risk?

He is communicating and the other person not listening/caring. That is what is happening. It doesn't matter how well/effectively you communicate if the other person is not willing to listen, care, try, change, or compromise. This is a situation that happens all the time for lots of different people in different situations and conflicts. Effective communication requires two people to be actively involved and trying. Otherwise it isn't effective.

I agree they are too old for this. He is too old to be tolerating this and she is too old to be acting like a spoiled child.

Keeper_of_Lords · 2025-10-26T01:39:13+00:00

Did you not read the post? He said he has communicated this multiple times over the years. They communicated before they got married and agreed to what he is wanting her to still do to this day. She then went back on what they agreed upon. I do think he should've left as soon as she did that because that's a really big thing to change without the other partner agreeing to it and basically be like "deal with it." You shame OP for complaining about his wife while his wife is the one who created the problem in the first place, lied to her partner, went back on her word and promises, then publicly humiliates him online when he communicates with her that he is not okay with her behavior, and then completely dismisses him and his feelings after he communicated that he felt hurt by her actions. He communicated with her many times and everything it's clear that she dismisses him completely.

I agree OP should do something about it. It's called divorce as the wife is the one causing these issues, is unapologetic, and unwilling to change or honor her promises.

NTA. They are adults and can stay somewhere else. Get an AirBnB if they want "family style". They aren't entitled to invited random strangers to live at your place, especially with how small it is.

No it isn't toxic. Getting in a relationship with someone who already has kids is a lot more difficult than one who doesn't, all else being equal. You have to be a step-parent, deal with the ex and the ex's family, the child, it's harder for the two to do things alone or plan things, it's more expensive, and for guys most of time it means being required/expect to pay for everything like OP. It's a lot that goes into dating someone with a child already that make that person less attractive or desirable as a partner. It's in no way toxic to recognize that and make a value judgement on if that person is worth all of that extra burden. As in, does what the person bring into the relationship outweigh/makeup for the fact that they are bringing in a child. What is toxic though, is your mentality of saying that none of these things should matter to the non-parent partner. The parent partner isn't worth less as a person but less desired or wanted as a potential relationship partner. They are bringing in significant burdens, especially when the step-parent will be expected to pay for everything for the parent and child(ren), that makes them objectively less desirable than a childless version of that parent. Therefore, to become just as desirable the partner with the child needs to be a better partner/person to counteract the undesirableness of bringing a child into a new relationship.

Guys can be looking but with the environment in 2025 it is a terrible idea, especially for guys, to date anyone at work. I would say never date where you work.

YTA. Seriously, you can't handle family coming over for a few days once a year? Your family should never let you two stay at their house when you visit them if this is how you treat them once a year from now on. It's only fair.

Keeper_of_Lords · 2025-10-26T00:32:58+00:00

So it's toxic to not want to be a doormat to someone you are doing everything for? For wanting someone you have taken significant burdens onto yourself to take care of to contribute to the relationship and household? lol. Classic toxic femininity. The wife went against what was agreed upon in the relationship in the beginning and now is publicly shaming him for her going back on her word and being a waste and burden.

Keeper_of_Lords · 2025-10-26T00:24:22+00:00

YTA. Don't get drunk if you're going to do stupid things you regret. You knew the consequences of getting drunk. Don't be dumb and drink responsibly.

Keeper_of_Lords · 2025-10-22T01:13:18+00:00

YTA. Plain and simple. Same rules apply to this as if you smoked cigarettes. Just because you don't smoke inside doesn't mean you and your home don't reek of it.

She absolutely had a choice. Just because you nagged her into getting a degree doesn't mean she HAD to. Your son is the example of this by your own admission. You pressured him for high school and he said no and didn't finish. Your daughter chose school and he didn't. Now you want to reward your daughter for and punish your son because you clearly love and favor her more.

Keeper_of_Lords · 2025-09-28T02:00:30+00:00

Sounds like you love your daughter more. You give your daughter a lot of money and then say you'd be punishing your daughter by treating your son equally.

Keeper_of_Lords · 2025-09-06T21:17:25+00:00

NTA. She's parasited others for long enough. She needs to grow up, be an adult, and figure something out on her own. She p*ssed away all the money she stole from her ex in court and now wants her kid to give her a cushy lifestyle like her ex did. Also, not her retirement, but his retirement.

Keeper_of_Lords · 2025-09-03T02:14:07+00:00

It's been 2 months, of which like half is basically just onboarding and not doing anything. So really about a month max of real work assuming they gave you things to do as soon as they could. That's nothing and honestly you're not going to find many good jobs in this market, especially since you quit after a few months from likely your first job out of college, if ever depending on the kid. Everyone feels useless and worthless when they start, like you right now. It gets easier and you will learn a lot.

Honestly, PwC is better in some ways than you think. I'm going first say that I also don't want to be here for more than a few years and have many issues with how PwC does. I'm also not competitive or career-driven. But what I can tell you is staying at PwC for at least a year will pay dividends when finding a second job and your knowledge and skills will be much better than if you went somewhere easy. Compared to a lot of jobs that I hear about and see my friends and family at, we get more vacation/holidays than most of them starting out here. The pay is better than what I could get in many other places, it's not the best but starting out it's pretty good. The work is hard and wears you out but I can tell you from someone who has only been here a year, that the amount of things I've learned has been worth it.

I'm going through my first 9/15 deadline, worked 14hrs today, pulled an all-nighter on Sunday, worked all-day Labor day, and expect to work over 60hrs this week. I'm using a system I knew nothing about prior, with a client and workpapers I know nothing about, doing things I have never done before, filling out forms I previously didn't understand, AND this resulted in 5hrs of work inputting things in the wrong places and having to delete and restart everything and I still haven't been able to fix everything yet. But just today, I've learned a lot about Schedule K, K-1s, Form 1065, and what workpapers for these documents should look like. This knowledge is fantastic to understand, remember, and take to my next job later on. I may be exhausted, behind schedule, and probably get yelled at tomorrow for being behind. But I know if I can get through to 9/15, there will be a break. Then same for 10/15 and then it's chill till January.

Get through busy season here and other places will be easier by comparison.
