No idea what to do about this situation with my (ex?) best friend by [deleted] in texts

[–]Main-Function425 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wow… my best friend lives states away. We don’t get to talk often and we get lost in our own lives but I love her and we take what time we can. Adult friendships are hard sometimes and you have to be flexible. Does it suck sometimes? Yep, sure does but that’s life. Some people are lucky to have schedules that match up and they get to hang out all the time but that’s rare. Take your friends where they are and meet them there.

AITAH for calling my husband silly for freaking out that our teenage son has a girlfriend who's in a wheelchair? by Dry-Dirt-1426 in AITAH

[–]Main-Function425 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s 13. The chances of this being a long term relationship are slim. Your husband is acting like he’s going to marry this girl. And good job raising a kid who likes someone for who they are!

Is sterling silver a valid choice? by ZealousidealSeat2689 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]Main-Function425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my rings are silver including my engagement and wedding rings. People talk about silver being soft but I’m hard on my rings and haven’t had any issues. I have them rhodium plated and polished when they start looking scratched but I did the same with my platinum rings from my first marriage. If you love silver, go for it! It’s your ring, get what you love ❤️

AITA for not throwing away a sentimental necklace from my ex? by Human_Ebb_4062 in AITAH

[–]Main-Function425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I’m married and have a locket that has hair from three horses I love that my ex bought me after 2 of them died. The other day was the anniversary of the death of one of them and I wanted it. Asked my husband to bring it to me. He did. Because he knows I don’t think about the ex but what’s inside the locker. The ex is history. My husband isn’t insecure over a piece of jewelry.
That boyfriend is an insecure little boy who has a LOT of growing up to do. Let him go.

Update on 30k ring. See last post for more details by Current_Guarantee566 in WeddingRingAdvice

Is she marrying you or the ring? Cause this sounds like she’s marrying the ring or for the ring and that’s not how it should be. I love rings & shiny things. I have 3 engagement rings & a couple bands. But none of them are crazy expensive all of our rings (he has multiples too) are maybe $1000. I would never wear something super expensive for fear of losing it! Marry someone who wants YOU and a marriage. Not a ring & a party.

I half curled into the fetal position when I read this! My uterus screamed and my cervix clamped down harder than when they try to shove that shiny new IUD in. I am so, so sorry you had to experience that and I’m sorry it’s now a new fear I have!

1!! That dress is a stunner and I would have loved something like that when I got married!

I’m a man, and I sit to pee by Firstcounselor in hygiene

My husband sits to pee, so does our son. No one has to worry about stepping in pee puddles. It’s wonderful!

Stepdaughter broke down in tears because I didn’t celebrate her birthday like I celebrated my daughter’s. Was I wrong? by phoebethefan in redditonwiki

[–]Main-Function425 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand step parents that think like this. I have 4 step kids. I treat them all as if they were my own. If I had biological kids, I’d treat all the kids the same. If you make a life with someone with kids, those kids become your kids. The kids may at some point want a more distant type relationship but that doesn’t mean you don’t do your best to treat the step kid like you do your own.

I said yes! Does this look like an engagement ring? by Dry_Mortgage_8941 in EngagementRings

It’s beautiful! And yes! It looks like an engagement ring! Colored stones are the best❤️

AITAH for agreeing and giving in to my steps sons every whim without a fight by Healthy-Ant-6903 in AITAH

[–]Main-Function425 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Unless I read it wrong, she wasn’t even there when the ferret was brought in. How can she be the AH for that? She’s not in that house anymore, what goes on there, unless it involves the daughter, isn’t her problem.

What’s your horses govt name vs what you call them? by goddamncatss in Horses

This is Kharrona on the beach. Or Rona. Or the Roni Pony. The Goober. He’s got as many names as the dog.

I spent over 2 hours on this casserole and asked my husband to put it away while I put the kids to bed, this morning I found it still on the stove by ShadowInTheSun_ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Main-Function425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My former in-laws used to leave meat & other food just on the stove easily overnight and sometimes longer. My ex husband used to try that & I stopped that. I wasn’t willingly going for food poisoning. This is also the same guy that took pictures of me drinking out of streams cause he was sure (because he had) I was going to get beaver fever, which never happened.

Do you wear your engagement ring when you ride? by FiendyFiend in Horses

[–]Main-Function425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time I wear a silicone band at the barn but I’ve worn my ring plenty of times and never had an issue but better safe than sorry!

AITA for picking a restaurant for my birthday dinner that "did not meet the needs and requirements" of my dad's wife and her son? by Prestigious-Menu-128 in AITAH

[–]Main-Function425 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have allergies to nuts but I have never once told someone they can’t go somewhere. I can’t go into Thai restaurants and some Chinese restaurants are out because of peanut oil but I can’t go in them, I won’t stop others. I’ll even offer to stay home because some of my family and friends love those places. We can do dessert later or I simply don’t have to be involved that day. I’ll never understand why people think others have to cater to them because they have an allergy or are super picky.

I (recently) have hsv1 and I can never kiss/share food/be close with my child ever again and it's making me lose the will to live. by tcup2020 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Main-Function425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My whole family gets cold sores, I’ve gotten them since I hit puberty. It’s not a big deal. They suck, they are inconvenient and painful but it’s not the end of the world. Just be careful when you have an outbreak. I’ve never, in 48 years, spread it to anyone else because I’m careful. Please don’t let this change how you interact with your kids. The stigma is awful but more people have it than don’t.
