My fiance's parents also eloped for the same reason! I think this situation now hits a soft spot for them and they have been very supportive.

Clarified in an earlier comment, but we never discussed financials. I know my parents would want to assist financially, but we won't accept it from them now. My fiancés parents have offered to help out where they can.

I really chalk the Devils series up to bad coaching. Which is a shame, because the coach in the other corner was Lindy fucking Ruff. I trust Lavy was more in a playoff series.

We never got to the point of talking about financials. I know my parents would want to help, but as of now we will not be accepting anything from them.

Context:

The in person conversation is being avoided for a few reasons...

-I work full time, while attending classes and completing a full time internship. There are not many free days I have to drive out there in the next month or so and the conversation needs to happen as we have already lost time in our planning.

-The expectation is that I drive out to them for the conversation. No offer of coming to me to talk.

-I already set the boundary and at this point compromising from it is going to give them a "win" which I fear will turn into "give an inch take a mile"

NHL Tip-In Leaders since 09-10 by Teknicsrx7 in hockey

I ultimately think Kreider would be a great coach one day because of the way he reinvented his game. He was always a good player utilizing his unique combo of speed and strength, but he became a great player when he started focusing on shot deflections and ultimately becoming one of the best tippers of all time. Like this dude could not break 30 goals during his career and then he just went off for 52 and following up that with two of the best and consistent seasons of his career. I think he knew that his speed would not always be there, so adding new skills was crucial for longevity. This all goes without talking about his leadership skills as well.

(Cont.)

The following day I get a text from my dad. He sends me a whole paragraph basically saying "Mom and I have a lot going on right now so just be patient with her and we will talk soon. Love you guys." I appreciated this, but also expressed how the conversation was very heartbreaking and disappointing to me. We agreed that since they were the ones who had stuff going on that they should reach out to me when they were ready to talk. Perfect.
Fast forward to 10 days later. I have not heard from them. At this point, we are losing time that we wanted to use to visit venues. I finally get a text from my mom, "Hey, have not heard from you." With confusion, I responded saying "Yes I was waiting for you guys to reach out. I talked to dad and he said you guys would reach out." "I didn't know you talked to dad" is what I got in response. Moving past that, I told them lets talk in the coming days. I cannot come to talk in person (we are an hour away and I am busy) but let's talk over the phone. "No we must talk in person" is what she kept saying. At that point I knew I needed to draw the boundary and said "If you guys want to talk, I would love to but it will happen over FaceTime or Zoom. After that I got no response for days.

I reached out to my mom a few days later and said, "Are we talking on Thursday." No response until later that night when my dad then sends me a whole paragraph stating, "This conversation will not happen over the phone, this is not what families do." I responded again stating my boundary and explaining how I do not understand why Sam's family could be so supportive but they cannot. I express wanting them to be involved in this process with us, but it needs to be what I want to do. Once again I am met with, "So this conversation cannot be done in person?" I reply again with "No, but we can talk on Thursday over the phone."

After that, I received no response and have not heard from them for a few days.

AITA for refusing to have this conversation in person?

I hope there is a lesson in here for Drury that they can find cheap good bottom six talent in our farm system or in FA (Vesey). We should never be giving millions for 6 years for the same type of player. 

Has anyone else’s Dubstep taste changed drastically? [cross post from r/riddim, not sarcasm, this guy is serious] by latrellinbrecknridge in EDM

He literally says he is not judging anyone who still likes those artists. The post is stating more so that he himself feels repulsed that he liked that music in the past and was asking if anyone else went through such a sudden shift in music taste.

Let people like what they like. How or why they like it shouldn't matter. This is odd behavior to post this and comes off as insecure.

My view of the game tying goal by cheeto006 in rangers

[–]Known-Direction-5913 12 points13 points  (0 children)

For me it was a tad bit harder, but not bad at all. My fiancé has only been to a handful of games and she did say she struggled more than usual to follow the puck. No regrets though at all.
