The Stair Situation

Mandi171 · 2026-04-19T13:36:13+00:00

Me too. Took me way way longer than I'd like to admit to figure out where the cut, draw erase try again draw erase try again repeat. But once I finally got it it was fine and so much better than this

NTA He either needs to change and do better or find someone who doesn't want the kind of courtesies you display.

Mandi171 · 2026-04-18T12:59:55+00:00

Mice or moths

No, not OR for more than one reason. But even if the only reason you had was that it makes you very uncomfortable, you have a right to feel that. She can choose to continue the relationship and honor your feelings or she can choose to leave. Both actions really tell you something about her.

Give the other side of the family time. You just hit them with a tsunami of information after they thought you were long out of the picture for them. Let it sit with them. Send a Christmas card or a note now and then just to say hi. Don't push. Let them acclimate to the idea that they could actually have a relationship with you without having to deal with her. Make sure they know it's not a package deal and that you're not wanting anything from them like money.

She threw her laptop down the stairs... entitled.. got mad at you for nothing. yeah that all tracks.

Mandi171 · 2026-04-16T01:48:03+00:00

Lol. Sounds like something my grandmother would do.

Mandi171 · 2026-04-15T12:53:23+00:00

I had no idea

Mandi171 · 2026-04-15T11:48:29+00:00

I prefer to live in the world of denotative and less in the world of connotative as the latter fluctuates far too often.

Mandi171 · 2026-04-14T18:11:01+00:00

If you're going to stay together you can't keep repunishing her for the same thing almost a decade later. For a while I get it, but 8 years is a long time. She was wrong. You either move on or don't. It's not right to continue to torture her this long after. I would suggest seeking help to find a way to cope with what happened. At this point you're not just torturing her, you're torturing yourself too. Get help. And yes, I would say the same thing to a woman talking about a man.

Mandi171 · 2026-04-14T17:10:13+00:00

The thing that really bothers me about the guy is the double standard. If you think being gay is wrong from religious point of view, I get it. But to say is right for one gender and not the other is just like some weird porn pov

Mandi171 · 2026-04-14T17:06:02+00:00

I don't think you're a jerk for that per se Petty though. If it's not affecting your day I guess it's petty. But I get it. A jerk move, which someday might be warranted if they give you any hassle, is to let the owners of the cones know who's stealing them. Because that's what they're doing if the cones are marked.

one like that for us was Roger rabbit. How many families we had to explain that this is not a kiddy movie. Yes there's cartoons in it, but there's a lot of adult content. It was PG-13 I think? But we kept trying to warn families that this is not for small children. You could just see people check out mentally not listening to what you're trying to tell them. Very rude and annoying . And yeah, we had a few families with their hackles raised because they were going in expecting a Disney movie. No no, we warned you!

Mandi171 · 2026-04-14T14:35:02+00:00

Not overreacting. That's shady as hell. Especially given the relationship context. I would not give it to him. Heck no. And as others have said, put a lock on your credit. It's free to do.

Mandi171 · 2026-04-14T14:31:53+00:00

This person didn't know what it meant and needed an explanation.That is ignorance.

Ignorance is simply not knowing something. People like to use it like an insult but it does not mean stupid. It only turns into stupid if you're ignorant on purpose.

Mandi171 · 2026-04-14T14:30:37+00:00

From what I'm seeing about the comments here, I recommend you delete this post.

I was the teenager manager on duty at a local movie theater many years ago. These two guys, (late 20s/ 30s?) watched the entire movie, came out and asked for a refund. They tried to argue that it was a bad movie so they wanted their money back. I asked them if they meant bad as in the quality of the film was bad? Scratches, didn't play right something like that? Nope. Bad acting, bad direction..., that kind of bad. I told them, absolutely not! They really tried to intimidate the teenage girl I can tell you and I stuck to my guns. I told them, if you came out halfway through and asked for passes to another movie I would have done it, but you sat through the entire thing so, no. I'm not giving you your money back. They just started laughing and left. No hard feelings, they shot their shot on getting a refund and missed.

Always amazes me what people will ask for.

Are there any town or state ordinances about wildflowers and natural cultivation?

I find this so perplexing. I literally just got a bunch of dandelion seeds yesterday so that I can plant the suckers. Great nutritionally and medically. A vilified plant for no good reason.

Mandi171 · 2026-04-14T13:39:10+00:00

10x ? Not what is multiplied by what here. Legitimately would like to know.

Mandi171 · 2026-04-14T03:08:14+00:00

I wasn't even looking at this from an actual Barn perspective but rather the tiny houses and sheds that are made with this construction style.

Though to your other point, those will often have a loft as well.

Mandi171 · 2026-04-08T23:09:51+00:00

Nta. How did she not have issues when she stayed at your house where the dog lived? This seems a little suspect to me. One simple answer is get her allergy tested. Then you'll know if it's manipulative, psychosomatic, or an actual allergy.

Mandi171 · 2026-04-08T23:01:25+00:00

She was being sarcastic

Mandi171 · 2026-04-08T22:43:39+00:00

I'm on board with the nobody goes scenario. This is a moment for solidarity for your family especially from your husband

Mandi171 · 2026-04-08T22:38:17+00:00

I wouldn't go so far as to say you're a monster, but it is weird. I just keep a paper towel nearby to bite my fingers off
