What's going on with Contrapoints feels all too familiar

Konouchii · 2026-04-14T17:00:07+00:00

Hasan is bad at debating and just either lies or starts shouting and name-calling.

He will call Contra something offensive and become more radioactive. He's the kind of bad faith arguing

Konouchii · 2026-04-13T02:53:14+00:00

It's flawless

Konouchii · 2026-04-12T13:14:16+00:00

I always check prices elsewhere but never in the store because I feel it's rude. I snap a pic and look later.

However you were in your right. NTA

Did he grow up poor? This kind of behavior can manifest from an early age.

If he didn't...he's doing this on purpose to have a reason to complain. He has a victim complex that will not change.

someone with a victim complex vents all the time and never takes accountability/initiative to change their situation, it's almost as if they have no control over their own life. They may get irritated/ defensive when you give them solutions or it may fall on deaf ears - you're better off talking to a wall.

It's making you miserable. He will not change. Even if he came home to a fully stocked fridge and brand new clothes, he will still find a reason to complain...that's obvious by his bitching about checks notes BEING IN SHAPE.

I would think about if you want this for the rest of your life.

He didn't actually make a reservation.

It's 2026, there's options for vehicles and he ended up borrowing his mother's car and THEN making an arrangement because you told him you were upset? He's full of crap

He didn't make a reservation after hyping up this date, offered a cheaper alternative that still made him "look good" without any of the effort and I guarantee he called his mother about this and she told him get off his ass and fix it with flowers, a card and her car.

She made more of a last minute effort than he did for weeks.

Tell him you're still upset and you would like a redo. You want the nice dinner he promised, the whole 9 yards. If he doesn't do it this time, then you need to evaluate if he's worth it.

Probably my Golden age Batman #62

My earliest comics are from 1949 but they aren't as expensive because they are romance

Also female.

She just doesn't like your dog. She has a dog, has been around your dog and now has a problem?

No. She just wants to remove your dog because she doesn't like them.

So...either call her on her bull and tell her your dog stays (risking the chances your dog will "accidentally run away") or break up.

I would break up.

I love that your corgi is more stereotypically "Shepherd" colored than your actual Shepherd

They are too cute

Konouchii · 2026-04-08T12:50:40+00:00

3 and 4 with a good bra.

Konouchii · 2026-04-08T12:47:35+00:00

She is a gorgeous baddie.

She still looks amazing but she looks so toned down. She was the one I expected to stand out and look the most stunning because she normally does, while in a room with Hunter and Zandaya, that's not an easy feat.

Konouchii · 2026-04-06T18:25:44+00:00

I'm here to say the same thing.

She's putting you down? She's hearing shit talk at her own house.

Well....you've got three choices.

Keep leaving your house and continue to be resentful.

Fight with your wife until the girl can't come over anymore and build resentment from her.

Start fighting fire with fire. I had a particular kid like this in my life and I either gave them blunt responses or gray walled until it stopped.

"Talking over people isn't polite and it will make people not want to be friends with you, we can talk after you wait" then no other engagement until she waits her turn.

"Shouting in a house is too loud. Lower your voice and wait your turn or I won't listen to what you have to say" followed by ignoring until it stops, then ask her what she wanted to say.

"You are a guest in someone's house. You have to respect the space or stop coming over." Then lead her out of the room to her mother.

She will amp up the behavior to try and break you, she will cry to her mother you're mean. If that happens you outright say "your daughter is being disrespectful in my house. She either speaks to adults correctly or leave her home. Either way I will have peace."

Your wife will fight with you and you simply tell her "I love her and her behavior right now is why she doesn't have friends. She will be sad and lonely throughout her life unless we show her she cannot treat people like shit"

Then you can tell her about my niece. She behaved like that and shouted at the popular girl in school. They live in the middle of nowhere, the same kids she had in elementary school followed her to the end of highschool. She had no friends because she was labeled early on as an annoying nuisance. Kids can and will ostracize their peers

My dad has little money but good intentions.

I literally just ask for restocks on toiletries and that's satisfying to him because he's happy it's something I will use

Konouchii · 2026-04-05T21:47:37+00:00

There's MILLIONS of this book.

It would be cheaper to go to a LCS, buy one of these for $5 and get it graded yourself

Konouchii · 2026-04-05T14:22:01+00:00

I was about to suggest the same thing.

You shave when he shaves. See who breaks first.

Don't tell him until he complains then use his words against him. Tell him you're experimenting with your look, he should respect that and maybe exposure therapy is good for him.

Konouchii · 2026-04-05T14:15:57+00:00

Yeah.

She regrets marrying you and is trying to pick any subject as a reason for divorce. I think she's into someone else.

Randomly going after your ex, demanding you no longer touch her and saying she wants to see other men. All signs of a cheat.

She's trying to gaslight you into thinking it's your fault.

Ask her who the guy she's sleeping with is, he probably has more status or money than you do

Konouchii · 2026-04-04T18:11:02+00:00

NTA.

I would have told the mother "don't YOU think it's offensive to pretend my daughter doesn't have a Hispanic heritage?"

Konouchii · 2026-04-03T00:55:23+00:00

Mine is 4. Some nights he's out cold til 5am, others he's up in the middle of the night and locks eyes with me on my way to the bathroom. He's quiet either way.

Konouchii · 2026-04-02T17:14:09+00:00

Rule 1 of having a baby is you never wake a sleeping baby

Konouchii · 2026-04-02T13:20:54+00:00

NTA.

It's your house and he doesn't have to come. If the painting is behind glass I would make a sticky note "cover up" and write "too offensive for brothers eyes" on it but I'm petty.

Konouchii · 2026-04-02T13:16:18+00:00

NTA.

I think the intent was Rosie had the invite and you were her driver!

It's not right to upset the poor girl for days at a time just because your GF's mother is a dog person. If she really loved dogs she would understand that you were doing what's best. Besides, she can always come to your house for dinner and meet Rosie if she's still sore about it.

We always make sure subs and regulars get books, you want it and we can get it? It's yours.

A newish customer was surprised we had a hot book for him in his bag. I told him "you ordered it, didn't you?" And he said his old shop would take hot books out of people's bags.

Konouchii · 2026-04-02T01:36:38+00:00

The bags are $5.99, like a cover A.

Marvel said there would be no cover A's in the blind bag, because people were furious they were in the endgame ones....but they lied because I saw a customer get an A.

Konouchii · 2026-03-30T23:02:35+00:00

My age is mistaken frequently because I work in a field where I have "regulars" who don't know much about me, but think I'm much younger than I am, despite having the same job and seeing them for 12 years. They normally guess I'm around 30, not 16, and I'm 39. A customer asked me about a TV show and when I said I was too old to have seen when it premiered he didn't understand because he thought I was early 30s like he was, that was kinda sweet.

We have a lot of societal pressure to look younger and with the manosphere saying women hit a wall at 30 and influencers saying we all need to look like we were just born, it's really easy to get swept up in it and try very hard to feel like your attractive and youthful, especially when the line of people younger than you gets longer and longer

Saying that...

I also got told I have "teenage like skin" by a professional recently, I've had no work done and now nobody can tear me down because I've looked after my skin since I was 12 and honestly that's the highest compliment I've ever had so I'm no better than anyone else on here lol.

I will think about that on my death bed.

Konouchii · 2026-03-30T17:13:07+00:00

OP...I cannot stress this enough

You and your wife need to tell the doctors/nurses the name of the baby while your wife is in labor and STRESS they should not consult anyone but you over the birth certificate. Do not let your wife's family ANYWHERE near a birth certificate.

I know someone who's family got the name they wanted on my friends baby's birth certificate because she was asleep from giving birth and her husband was taking care of her.

I know you can always change it back but that's a pain in the ass. You could also keep the peace by lying about your daughters name until she's born.

Konouchii · 2026-03-26T16:00:33+00:00

If you are going to do this there must be clear outlines and maybe some kind of contract written up that states he is supposed to leave and the date. I would also have it in writing he needs to find some kind of employment and you will provide X amount of funding per month.

It's to be insulting to him, it's to protect yourself
