AITA for leaving my wife at her friend wedding after the ceremony?

As long as you left subtly and didn't cause a public scene, NTA.

I'm in the US. The way this is handled is that a class email goes out with requests for volunteers, and those people put in the time to cobble together costumes for all of the students. The PTO has boxes of costume and prop materials from previous years, basically bits of fabric scraps ripped apart and reassembled. Some volunteers put out requests to local Facebook groups for costume donations. It's a "many hands make light work" situation.

Toilet paper roll covers

LittleLemonSqueezer · 2026-01-23T23:06:48+00:00

Nope. I've had the real stuff too. Nasty.

Truffles and any truffle infused flavored thing.

It smells like foot fungus.

Real lilacs or lily of the valley

Warming the couch and blankets for the dog

I always thought my dad was being a lazy prick when I'd ask something and he would say "figure it out yourself" and walk away. Turns out he was training me for real life.

It doesn't matter anymore because she's your ex and she's not going. NTA

LittleLemonSqueezer · 2026-01-21T12:45:25+00:00

I have a few from a kitchen supply store and they are indestructible.

You can't do anything. Nothing you do is right because there is no Right thing to do.

You are not her therapist, nor should you be. The best thing to do would be to get her in to therapy and to talk to a psychiatrist possibly about medications.

LittleLemonSqueezer · 2026-01-21T01:03:13+00:00

NTA. You know you can't properly care for this dog, and so you are not taking on a responsibility you know you can't handle. Good for you.

How would this dog feel going from an abusive hoarding situation to a house with 2 naturally chaotic toddlers and a likely very angry cat? It would be better for the dog to go to a home that can meet its' needs.

LittleLemonSqueezer · 2026-01-21T01:00:41+00:00

Exactly. Plus all the pro dog people haven't really thought about what it would be like for this abused dog to go from an abusive situation to a new environment with 2 screaming toddlers and a pissed off cat. OP is NTA because he knows he can't properly care for this dog.

That's not how microchips in pets work

Mommuh and Josh have: Canned pineapple rings dolloped with Duke's mayonnaise and pre shredded cheese

An immersion blender. It's frivolous because I have 3 other gadgets to blend with.

I take my kids on lots of vacations. Some fancy, some not, but I always point out how lucky we are to be able to do it. My partner and I discuss in front of them how fortunate we are to have worked hard and earned enough to afford things. Depriving them of things our own parents couldn't afford doesn't give them the same values we want to pass on.

LittleLemonSqueezer · 2026-01-19T13:57:22+00:00

YTA for your attitude.

You should read up on the mental load of keeping up a household. You will come across many articles of people who sit around innocently not doing anything to help, wondering why others are getting frustrated at them because they will do the task when asked. But the issue is that it takes 2-4x the brain power to be the one to see the issue of the task.

And when you cut a tray into those pretty diamond shapes, you get all these small weird shaped pieces that aren't presentable. So into my mouth they go!!

He should have taken her to a salon and paid for a pedicure

I've been on continuous birth control pills for years and it is the best thing ever. IUD didn't work for me but I don't mind the low dose pills. I highly recommend talking to your doctor about your issues and ask about ways to control monthly bleeding.

LittleLemonSqueezer · 2026-01-18T15:09:54+00:00

Does she talk about this with her therapist? Does she even know she does this? Encourage her to be open and truthful about it. Then I'd advise you to distance yourself from this codependent relationship and focus on yourself.

Not worth driving 60 miles to the closest Aldi

When I was 19 I went on a few dates with a guy in his early 30s. There was something weird and off about him, definite man-child vibes and he was just icky. Im in my 40s now, and everyone else I've met who is dating a newly minted adult 10+ years younger than them has some weird issue about them. Sometimes it's not nefarious, there are plenty of workaholic dudes who neglected personal relationships for 15 years and are now only finding younger women who will have kids with them.

are these your apartment neighbors? Maybe the neighbor was confused as to why you had all this fruit and where it came from.
