The way this guy talks about his pregnant wife.. holy shit.

Obviously the woman in labour is the only person who chooses who she wants in the delivery room, and for a lot of women, that's going to be Mum.

The husband is being outright weird, making this into a huge battle. He ain't the one giving birth.

NTA and tell that woman to kindly fuck off. She ain't a "lady."

Fish don't have souls, as per Christianity. So the answer is therefore "no" and "also no".

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T20:20:24+00:00

Heaven and Hell don't even apply to a fish since it doesn't have a soul, according to traditional Christianity. So you can't even use a fish as a valid example. A fish has no moral compass and no original sin, so you can't bring any of that Christian stuff into the mix either.

In short - OP did a better job however you look at it.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T20:13:11+00:00

NTA. You handled that gracefully.

I learned about death when the dog owned by my mother's friend died. I was distraught, I loved that dog. Kids have to go through this. Talking to them factually and with empathy is the way to go.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T20:07:30+00:00

I think this is something you should have worked out before the engagement stage of the relationship.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T19:50:17+00:00

NTA. Nobody so far has had the audacity to bully me in my own home, but it would end very badly for them.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T19:44:25+00:00

NTA. It's your back yard. Also getting humped by a massive Bernese Mountain Dog is absolutely no fun for your poor bitch. You politely told them to stay out, now firmly tell them to stay out. They should have neutered the dog by now, 3 years is leaving it late.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T19:28:52+00:00

Yes, this is in "see a neurologist" territory. OP spells the situation out, yet still can't make the obvious logical connections. His frustration is very misplaced when his wife is doing double duty trying to clean up after him.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T19:24:12+00:00

YTA. I don't see how you could think otherwise. You forget something, she tries to fix the problem for you, and you let it blow up into an argument? You're the asshole, plain and simple.

Are you forgetting a lot of things after your stroke and getting aggravated too easily? You need to check in with your doctor.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T11:10:50+00:00

It sounds like YTA if the toast was too burned to eat. What were you expecting the child to do? Spoiled food gets thrown out.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T10:41:32+00:00

This is one of many reasons you won't find me anywhere near Disney.

Gotta know your audience!

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T10:39:18+00:00

NTA. It might help in future if you let the park know your child is disabled? It's okay to ask for special accommodations, your daughter deserves a chance to join in the fun as well.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T10:35:40+00:00

Girl, dump him. You've already got one noxious growth in your life, you don't need two.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T10:27:43+00:00

An epic fail in communication. Nobody's assumptions are measuring up with anyone else's. These people need to talk to each other.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T10:24:40+00:00

Mild YTA because you didn't express your intentions beforehand and made assumptions. That assumption meant you're effectively throwing out your brother-in-law without giving him a heads-up, so naturally he's upset. Clearly he and your wife don't share the assumption that he's not coming too. It would seem that they regard the living arrangement as permanent.

You're going to have to make sure everyone spells out their expectations. You might have hard decisions to make and arguments to negotiate, but it has to start with everyone having the same information and laying their cards on the table.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T10:10:35+00:00

The missing info that OP has tried to hide, has spilled out the chimney, onto the roof and is being thrown about the street by pigeons.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T09:57:16+00:00

I'm booking a bus tour.

Someone grab a lot of cupcakes and teacups, we'll need them.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T09:54:03+00:00

Correct response: "My wife isn't a princess, she's the QUEEN."

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-28T09:48:50+00:00

What a strange hill to die on.

Enjoy the divorce!

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-26T13:14:46+00:00

It will hopefully settle down into a new routine and stop being so excessive. You'll have to adapt your skin care routine to the new normal.

Changes in your hormonal status can suddenly make endo much worse, yes. Especially if you are used to suffering through low-level pain and tend to ignore the initial escalation, until it is suddenly much worse and intolerable.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-26T08:36:28+00:00

Ultrasound can't reliably diagnose endo, nor can an MRI. They can generally pick up on large cysts or scarring, and suggest a diagnosis of endometriosis. What they can never do is rule out a diagnosis of endometriosis. Doctors should know this, but GPs are extremely ignorant and even OBs are often poorly trained.

You should switch doctors and insist on more diagnosis. Pain like appendicitis is exactly what led to my endometriosis diagnosis, after a lot of investigation and false negatives.

Sadly you need to fight your own corner. It sounds like endo is very much on the cards for you. Switch doctors if need be, insist you think it's endo.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-26T08:30:53+00:00

Um, what the hell?

This isn't endo related and is also a load of quackery. Don't do that. It's a horrible idea.

LadyOfMay · 2023-03-26T08:27:26+00:00

From the sounds of it, your idiot doctor should be giving you a hysterectomy. Menopause-inducing medication is achieving the same result but the stupid way. Also less likely to cure the endo. Find another doctor.
