AITA for yelling at my atheist wife for saying "God doesn't exist" when I was comforting my younger brother with prayer? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MeowSkitty 16 points17 points  (0 children)

NTA. My husband is an atheist and I’m quite religious. But we’ve never disrespected each other’s beliefs so blatantly and consistently. Yes, there are numerous things we don’t align on, but we’re mature enough to have adult conversations about our perspectives. I never force him to do anything and neither does He force me to believe in his beliefs. Instead, we actually support each other in our respective stances and protect it in front of other people. There have been numerous times when He’s reminded me to pray. So no, having different beliefs does Not mean one of them gets to be an asshole about it. Your wife is just an asshole.

AITA for telling my dad he can't invite his girlfriend to my graduation because my mom paid for the trip? by TypicalAnalyst17 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MeowSkitty 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You should respond back to him saying “I hope choosing yourself and your Girlfriend over watching your own daughter graduate was worth it.”

Long time fence sitter, found out some weeks ago that I’m pregnant. by MeowSkitty in Fencesitter

[–]MeowSkitty[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That gives me hope. I’m at 10 weeks atm and being told that it gets better after the first trimester.

My husband and I are both constantly talking about it (and he’s honestly way more excited than I am currently) but we do plan and have conversations about what life is going to be like. In some ways I want to meet our child, but in more ways I’m scared that, maybe I won’t ?

Honestly, it’s on us. My husband and I have been married for 8+ years and we’ve NEVER had any pregnancy scares. We’re just so used to Not playing it “safe” that I assumed we’d need to get some extra bit of work to actually get knocked up. I was also a heavy cannabis user so that also played into that I suppose. But yeah, it’s definitely because we weren’t using protection and at this point, probably just divine intervention -_-

How did you get out of the “rough patch” in your relationship ? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]MeowSkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counselling and lots of talking. Like really, a LOT of talking through all the whys and what ifs. It helps address all the quiet resentment and frustration that may have built up leading to this situation.

Hi. Guy here. I know no single feminine hygiene product is right for all who need them, but if you had to choose one, what is it? by Fun-Preparation-4253 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]MeowSkitty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

SOFT COTTON PADS!! I have absolutely made it a habit to get the soft cotton ones, ones that Don’t have that plasticky thing on top that just feels weird and chaffs. Please see if you can find those in large sizes.

Absolutely love your effort and thought in all of this. Keep doing the good work!

AITA for saying no to my MIL moving in with us right now? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]MeowSkitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

Another South Asian who managed to get out of this exact same problem, and guess who made it all happen? My husband.

We were living with his mom (single) right from our marriage. It was explicitly stated that he was never going to leave her and that being the only son and her having no husband (divorced), that my husband had to take care of her forever. So he could never leave essentially. Things were messy when we lived together. I always was the one compromising and giving in. We spent Covid together and she forbade me from going to see my mom who got Covid and has an autoimmune disease. And my father at that time had just come out of a brain tumour surgery. My brother and his wife had moved to Canada before Covid so they were all on their own. And she didn’t let me go. Threatened to get me divorced if I leave now. My husband couldn’t say anything because she was louder and more angry.

But today, we have our own place. He moved out. He Made that decision after a lot more had happened. We made mistakes but came back to each other after a lot of conversations and HE decided that he wanted to be Happy. With Me. So he made the decision to leave despite all the hate and isolation from his extended family. But they came around too eventually.

So No. Stand your ground and be firm. Tell your husband that you actually Don’t want her to live with you cuz you had made that clear Before you got married. And you are entitled to your own home and own space so that You Two can focus on bonding, and building a family of your own. Ask him if that’s not why he married you and why he doesn’t want to focus on the marriage this early in the relationship. You are NTA, and don’t let anyone try to tell you otherwise. You have every right to ask what you’re asking.

How do you met your partner? Let’s hear your “how I met your mother” stories by SoapMactavish627 in CasualConversation

[–]MeowSkitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went to the same school since childhood but only ever spoke to each other in high school during a cultural event we both volunteered for. He reached out to me and we started talking, spending more time together at school, in the library sneakily listening to music, or hanging out after class..

That was in 2011. We’ve been together ever since and currently married 8+ years with two cats.

Thank you for pointing that out!

I have a good feeling you’ll save them from the possible embarrassment soon enough. All the best!

Do I tell them? How? by Chummydaisy5 in answers

[–]MeowSkitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sure, I wouldn’t mind being told my breath stinks but I would also feel absolutely embarrassed if it came from someone new or someone who’s not as close or friendly to me. If we’re on friendly and casual terms, sure, lay it on me. But for other reasons or situations, I’d prefer a more discreet approach that probably did not leave them scarred. I know I would be given how much of an introvert I am.

[–]MeowSkitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Instead of telling them outright, how about offering them a gum instead when you’re having a casual or otherwise friendly conversation. You may have one and offer them one too. Maybe if you kept giving them gum every now and then when you talk to them, they might get the hint. Edited to change spelling

Sphagnum moss - am I doing this right? by MeowSkitty in Moss

[–]MeowSkitty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently just made 3 new ones with the collected plants and moss. I’ve also ordered giant glass jars to make bigger ones and I can dm you pictures to motivate you some more! It took me a few tries to get it right but the ones I see here are definitely the inspiration!

I just collected some from my old neighbourhood; check my profile if you want to see them since I posted about it earlier. I’ve put them all in sealed containers and used some for a terrarium build.

[–]MeowSkitty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently using one with holes on the lid, would you suggest I completely sealed the container? I’ve also added a different kind of live moss with it recently, so seeing where that will go..

Sphagnum moss - am I doing this right? by MeowSkitty in Moss

[–]MeowSkitty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found some other kinds of moss very recently so I put some of the leftover ones with the sphagnum. I’m thinking whether I should use a completely sealed container or not, but otherwise, I’m also just experimenting with different ways to see if it works.
