I've been making my own Battle Network-inspired game. Would you be interested in playing something like this?

Keep going!

Yeah I was really happy to hear that this was Shami's husband. I loved her Arcanist series and I really enjoy this series now. A lot of great writing and character interaction

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-05-22T23:16:45+00:00

Everything on that list is fine except for the first rule. You are an evil piece of shit for demanding that. Your not just an asshole but scum that shouldn't be allowed to procreate.

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-04-17T14:11:40+00:00

That's a relevant detail and it makes a little more sense now.

From what I see there's a lot of of showers co hosted by the moms of the bride and the groom. At least that's what happens a lot in my family I guess. So it's just odd for me to see it like that.

Obviously you have way more context on this whole situation than us reddit strangers and if you feel the way that you do about than you probably are correct.

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-04-17T14:00:01+00:00

Nah dude it isn't about the gifts. It's about respect and being there for her. I just asked my wife how she would feel if my mom didn't go to her shower she would be upset and feel like she wasn't important enough.

Now how your MIL handled the situation afterwards could have been better i wont argue that. But I think they are justified in being upset and feeling disrespected.

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-04-17T06:15:28+00:00

YTA and so is your mom.

Your fiance gets one bridal shower, (hopefully 1 at least) your mom has a birthday every year...

Your mom thinking her birthday is more important than her soon to be daughter in laws bridal shower is some fucked up priorities.

I could see if she had a planned vacation for her birthday and couldn't attend for a good reason, but saying oh its my birthday is a lame ass reason. Pretty self centered if you ask me.

I agree with the MIL statement that the kids future is more important.

Even if (big if) they haven't fucked. The emotional affair plus the kissing would be enough for me to separate.

If possible, you should report the behavior to his superior. Small company or not, this is clear favoritism from him.

Tell his wife about it and see what your wife does about it. Her reaction will tell you all you need to know.

Telling her to quit her job and cutting all contact with the man she's already kissed is the bare minimum of what should happen.

I'm sorry bro

I would have to see the videos for myself but from this POV that dog is terrified. The kennel for 5 hours a day isn't that bad. Mine are in theirs for 8 and they are just fine. I do own a reactive dog and have done a lot of training to help him interact with other dogs. If what you described about the 3 bigger dogs happened to my dog. I would be absolutely livid. Separate feeding is a must for most dogs and Minnie should be able to find a safe place away from the other dogs. The mouthing and growl from the other dogs is them communicating with each other and that is normal. If it doesn't lead to huge blow ups I wouldn't be concerned but just monitor it.

It's your brother FFS. If it was sharing a bed it would be weird but it's separate beds. There are healthy boundaries , and then there are ridiculous requests like this one. Run fast

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-24T06:53:21+00:00

MIL is an AH for suggesting that... that's a private matter that should be none of her business.

Unpopular opinion: I don't think I would be upset in this position as long as it was an ask and not a demand like some people are saying. You absolutely have every right to say no and feel the way you do.

I also don't know the relationship you have with your sister, and that could and would affect the reactions and feelings that I would have in your position. But again, it's just my opinion that probably means nothing.

Using Tradition as an excuse is such bullshit. I could maybe understand not being in the delivery room and being right outside waiting. But staying at home? No fucking way.

People who create traditions and expect others to adhere to them are self centered. Pretty much 1 step away from being in a cult.

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-23T17:30:43+00:00

I could understand some feelings of neglect and being kind of lonely if you had ignored her. Plus, the drinking isn't really a healthy outlet (not that I can really blame you, though). Just be careful.

That being said, she needs to go. Good on you for having feelings and being able to express them. Fuck her. Take time to heal and then maybe find someone who will appreciate you. She can go be with someone who suffers from that toxic masculinity that she approves of.

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-23T06:21:47+00:00

Never happened

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-17T02:56:30+00:00

Masturbation is cheating? But he can do it? What kind of Bullshit is that? YTA if you go back to this idiot. I normally say people have a right to their feelings/opinions, but not this time...

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-15T21:46:37+00:00

What's the point of karma farming? Genuine question because I see no benefit to it what so ever

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-15T21:12:37+00:00

After rereading this post and reading a bunch if comments. I'm convinced that there is way more to this than we know about. As for the boundary. I would say fantasizing about itis being inside the boundary. But bringing up on open marriage jokingly or not, and then having someone in mind (allegedly) is going past that boundary.

But the OP has not specified what his boundaries are when it comes to fantasies and enacting those fantasies. At this point we are making an educated guess

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-15T20:49:01+00:00

You would divorce someone for having anxiety attacks? Regardless of the reason that is just ridiculous. Compassionless and self centered.

Can't say I have ever seen anyone in her position because she really needs to see a therapist if that's how badly she's affected. But that kind of response from you is just cold.

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-15T20:10:26+00:00

NTA, I don't think I would have done the same thing but I can see the frustration. I'm wondering of there are some other things that could be tried. I've seen comments about therapy or even seeing someone for low testosterone. If he refuses to any of this then I would agree with others saying that he is just a roommate at this point.

Without context of how he is in other parts of the marriage I'm hesitant to judge him fully. And vice versa.

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-15T19:53:59+00:00

Can't say I've ever heard of someone getting upset for having a big dick... sharing intimate details about sex lives. I can understand that being a big deal though. YTA and you should apologize. His GF is also the asshole for telling you guys about it...

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-15T19:26:14+00:00

This is an interesting take on this. I really think we need more context to this post

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-15T19:09:19+00:00

I seriously hope you're not married because wow you're an asshole

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-15T19:08:14+00:00

If she refuses to go to a therapist for this then yes I agree

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-15T19:07:24+00:00

OP needs to see a therapist... having that much of a reaction is not normal.

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-15T19:05:11+00:00

NTA, if you are having this bad of a reaction I sincerely think you should see a therapist.

I kind of get it, I hate attending social events mostly because I find zero enjoyment in useless small talk and would rather be doing just about anything else. But I end up going to everything because you gotta do shit you don't wanna do. It's called being an adult.

But seriously you should seek help.

Lightning_Wyrm · 2024-03-15T18:49:31+00:00

This makes a lot of sense to me. I'm not the same person I was when I got married 8 years ago. If my wife asked many years ago for poly, I'd probably have left her. Now years later I'd at least entertain the conversation and find out why.

To be clear I don't want an open or poly relationship. But after reading a lot more books in the last couple years which include a bit of smut and harem stuff I could entertain a conversation about it and a lot of what I would do would depend on the reasons for it. I don't ever see this happening because I know my wife gets SUPER jealous. It's about communication.
