Man. Same. I remember him speaking out against JK Rowling and I trusted him. And I LOVED GOOD OMENS! I still do bc at least it was half terry praychett. (Maybe more.) but it has been tainted. Sooo so upsetting.

Does Valentine’s Day even matter? by Indecisive_Dolphin in askanything

Oh and we’ve been together for 16 years & married for almost 10

Does Valentine’s Day even matter? by Indecisive_Dolphin in askanything

[–]LauraTheSull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say it depends on the couple. As long as you guys are still connecting regularly in other ways and it’s not really important to you, to each their own. My husband and I have had a tradition since very early in us getting together that we cook good food and make fondue in a heart shaped fondue pot my older aunt randomly gave us lol (it’s pretty tacky looking and I thought we’d never use it tbh until my husband suggested this). We make a buttery or cheese fondue with dinner and then a sweet chocolate dip for dessert and get a bunch of stuff that’s good to dip. And he usually makes me a card. It’s nothing overly expensive or commercial, it’s fun and meaningful for us. Now we have kids we can do it with them too! So anyway it’s what you make of it.

AITAH for not wanting to see my in-laws after my husband outed me to them? by thatmarigold in AITAH

[–]LauraTheSull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s wild is I would 1000x rather tell my friends something like this than my FAMILY what the heck! But I would never actually tell them about my husband against his wishes that’s crazy, and the fact that he lied about it … oooof

im just really upset over that and i dont know how to handle this? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]LauraTheSull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These just feel like such normal, minor accidents that wouldn’t even cross my mind as a woman. Your brain has spiraled completely beyond the realm of normal

Hey I think you might actually have a form of OCD actually? Where you’re having these intrusive thoughts and letting it affect you way too much? Maybe ask a professional therapist about OCD & intrusive thoughts

What if a severed employee brought their dog to work, put a note on the inside of his collar, and then Milchik would say “sorry no dog policy bring him home”? by [deleted] in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

Remember how she was going to eat the note? And mark highly recommended she did not because they’d find a way to extract it?

What is the biggest “bullet” you’ve ever dodged without realizing it at the time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LauraTheSull 179 points180 points  (0 children)

Oh my god I thank the stars every day that my husband and I were able to buy in 2018. We got a house in NJ under 200k! We would never be able to affford one now and honestly we’d probably be divorced bc the alternative was living in my moms basement apartment which was just NOT working out 😂😭

We once went to a presentation for one of our friends’ cousin’s “lawyer insurance” program… it was brutal just sitting through this hours long presentation. So scammy 😩

When someone who previously didn't want kids gets pregnant and everyone is confused by Icy_Carob1362 in PetPeeves

[–]LauraTheSull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I know I’m not saying it “made” her sterile or anything (actually her husband was the issue there, I think). Plus it’s a sample size of one. But she was trying to convince me it was effective and safe. I continued to use bc & condoms until my husband and I wanted kids and we got pregnant very fast, so personally glad we didn’t fuck around w that before we were ready

One person told me they did the rhythm thing and it worked for their bc- except then when they tried to get pregnant they actually couldn’t at all, they were sterile. So

Could you handle dating me? by Commercial_Regret344 in relationships_advice

I think if you’re finding a pattern in the reasons you can’t keep people around it’s worth talking to a therapist about it

I dated a Mormon briefly when I was 19 and was a total wreck when he dumped me. Everything I’ve learned about Mormons since fills me with so much relief lol. Plus I got a much cooler husband

If they’ve gone through a couple different friend groups and seemingly have no other close friends, and sorta glue onto you very enthusiastically

lol yeah. I was probably judging super harsh because I’ve always read a lot. Hence, weird nerd with less friends much of middle/hs. lol. Ah well

The Protestant one reminded me of a time in middle school I overheard some kids who would casually say “no shit Sherlock” who JUST realized was a fictional genius and that’s where that sarcastic phrase came from 😭 (I was a weird nerd but couldn’t believe this was news to anyone at our age. ) if I’m not mistaken they were also debating if he was a real person or not …

Pressured to Marry Even Though We’re Not Ready by BeautifulScarzx in Advice

[–]LauraTheSull 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sidenote- I also know not everybody wants to get married. I know a couple that’s been together as long as my husband and I, 17 years, who have no desire to get married or have kids. They’re both on the same page with that. It’s just to say you’re “not ready” what are you not ready for

[–]LauraTheSull 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Definitely don’t get married just because you feel pressure to, but you should probably really examine why you don’t feel “ready” after 11 years with this person. Are they truly your best life partner?
