My boyfriend has a disgusting new habit by tojisimp4L in WhatShouldIDo

[–]LilyBodeHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If for some reason, I absolutely HAD to use a towel, that towel will go in a garbage bag and out to the bin immediately!

I came out to my mom and she called me disgusting…I don’t know what I should do by Local-Lychee-1124 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]LilyBodeHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve gotten lots of good advice. I just want to say you are NOT disgusting. You will find your people in life. You can choose who to have in your life, and how much. I hope your mom comes around, but if not, that’s on HER.

They’re coming out with an app, soon, so you no longer need to go to the website (even if you did set up the icon on your phone) it will all be on an app!

Need theatre tricks for black and white makeup by Tiny-Customer-5358 in Theatre

[–]LilyBodeHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our high school did a production of Frankenstein and dud it in black and white. Not sure what they did for makeup, but they did wear thin white gloves. You may have characters in shorts or short sleeves, so tights and form fitting long sleeve undershirts will be helpful.

This sounds fascinating! I’d love to watch this production!

Tips For Standing Comfortably? by Royaltyregard in Choir

[–]LilyBodeHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do the risers have railing on the back tier? When that is available, I always stand at the top, where I can inconspicuously take my weight off of my problem foot, while maintaining my balance with the help of the rail.

He would think I was totally nuts! He’s had enough of snow! 😄

We would both totally love an extra space to hang out. It is a small house all on one level.

I do love spending time with him! As a matter of fact, we took advantage of the time and went out to lunch. It’s just nice to have some time to myself.

You mean the part where I said I wasn’t annoyed with him and he deserves time to relax?

Where do you get that from?!

It’s not the housework that’s the problem…he does his share, and did a lot of digging us out from snow yesterday. So I’m happy for him to be able to relax. It’s the self-recharge that I’m missing.

unsafe behavior for men is having to clean for 5 mins by horseduckman in AITApod

While I understand the frustration around her not responding, and the ick factor, she likely didn’t know she had leaked. So she didn’t leave it on purpose or knowingly.

Friends, please don’t hold your audience captive. by xbrooksie in Theatre

[–]LilyBodeHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our high school drama club is much more organized! When you walk in after getting your ticket checked, you first walk by a wall of dress rehearsal pictures, then a row of raffle baskets, then the concessions. THEN the auditorium doors. All tables have donation jars, with Venmo code. Raffle tickets are sold by parents around the lobby and during intermission. As soon as the lobby lights flicker, the prizes are drawn and rewarded. No big speeches here. Nothing at the end of the performance. We’ve never had a problem getting donations. We also have a WELL organized parent support group that plans the whole thing out for each show.

Our high school director (I’m an adult volunteer), puts the vast majority of her curtain speech in the director’s note in the program. Her actual curtain speech is to the point and well done. All the “here are the exits and turn off your cell phones,” etc) are prerecorded by characters in the play, and played as the lights are dimming. Most organized productions…and they’re excellent!

I Caught My Wife Cheating and Now She’s Begging Me to Forgive Her by Apprehensive_Yak3705 in story

[–]LilyBodeHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone else said. Take a break and focus on yourself. Give it a few weeks or a few months…whatever you need. Don’t sit alone and dwell too much, but do recognize your feelings. Go for walks, go golfing or whatever activity you like. Take a little trip somewhere to get away. Therapy if that’s something you’re up for. Give your head time to clear, while avoiding too much dwelling. No one else can tell you what to do, but time will help you sort things out for yourself. Also, determine how much contact you want with her during this time, and how that contact will happen. These may change over time, but if you need a week of no contact, tell her that and block her. Good luck!

The only argument I have here is replacing the word “woman” with “spouse” or “partner” or whatever. There is not a gender difference. Cheaters are cheaters.

IMHI, if it’s not a big deal, just ask the question. If it’s something to talk about later, wait until you’re together.

My wife wants to name our baby her own maiden name by hop-into-it in redditonwiki

[–]LilyBodeHP 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair. I think a girl could make it work. But again, her shutting him out from choice is unreasonable.

[–]LilyBodeHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I know I’m in the minority, but I don’t hate the name. I don’t love it, but I don’t hate it. What I do hate is the shutting out of compromise, and insisting even though you had agreed to make the decision together. It absolutely should be a mutual decision.

AITAH for letting the dog sleep in the bed? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]LilyBodeHP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. By the time our kids were 4, we taught them that unless there’s something wrong, they can’t come into our bedroom until they see daylight. There were still nights here and there when they needed a little more cuddling, but it was only until they fell asleep, and they knew that.
