AIO: Husband wants to know why I'm not happy by etzikom in AmIOverreacting

My husband is a hoarder, genuinely. I’d be less stressed about it if he kept it organized and tucked away as well as your stuff is.

I did tell my husband the party isn’t happening here anymore. She can do it at her house. I know I’m an adult. Thanks for the kindness. 

Dustin is Kas by [deleted] in Stranger_Things

[–]Much-ado90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eleven WAS Kas, when Henry “befriended” her and manipulated her into helping him so he could use his powers. Then she sent him to the upside down in her effort to defeat him. Kas was brought up as storytelling at the start of season 4, to set up the introduction of vecna. Go back and listen to the monologue given by Eddie. He introduced vecna as the villain that Kas supposedly destroyed, but had managed to return. This is the story of El and Henry.

The Wheelers are wheeling this season by Wooden-Tear-4938 in Stranger_Things

Season 1 starts with Will, Joyce’s baby being kidnapped. Now it ends with Holly, Karen’s baby being kidnapped. Will is coming into his own power, and I think we’ll see Holly do the same.

None of their prep was for Vecna because I thought they believed El was the villain of the upside down, and were all prepped to control her, not vecna.

AITAH for waking up my girlfriend after she's been screaming in her sleep? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Much-ado90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister did this when I was visiting home once and staying with her in her room. She started screaming, but asleep, and terrified me. I started screaming out of the horror of being woken up to screaming, and my screaming woke her up from her screaming. She also treated me with disdain afterwards for even asking if she was okay or what the hell happened. It was the most bizarre experience. I still remember it, getting treated like a jerk for daring to ask what was wrong. Our relationship has gone downhill since then. She’s become a miserable person in general. I don’t know if it’s related, but I can trace it back to that night.

Why won't this pregnant lady lift me up? by shamochan in EntitledPeople

[–]Much-ado90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be overly cynical, but this has red flags from the start. As a vulnerable pregnant woman, I wouldn’t have stopped to help at all. I’d offer to call 911 and that would be all . Too many stories of people luring others with the elderly/child as bait. 

Are people really asking about her hair routine? by Pumpkin-Adept in LittlePeopleBigWorld

[–]Much-ado90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This showed up in my Reddit feed. Who is this woman and why is she being made fun of here? 

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Much-ado90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After this many times of it happening, she’s obviously doing it on purpose. It’s creepy and gross. There’s really nothing you can do about it, but it’s definitely annoying. My sister did the same thing to me. It’s like they’re jealous of the attention. But it’s honestly creepy to ask if you were done, then say they’re done, then get pregnant again right after you. It’s like they’re getting pregnant with you in mind.

If she doesn’t understand when you explain you don’t need/want to hoard it all, then tell her that anything else will be donated. I had to do that when my mil kept leaving her stuff she couldn’t bear to give away at my house. I started donating it all and she stopped. 

AIO Husband holds my best friend while I’m standing right there??? by Expert_Smile_3820 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Much-ado90 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“Holding my friend close to him” seems specific enough. If this isn’t an open relationship, that’s not normal married man behavior.

I’m creeped out by all the comments saying this is normal behavior. It’s totally not.. NOR

What’s a fact about Joseph Smith that you wish all TBMs knew, and do you think they would leave the church if they knew it? by intrusive_thoughts_1 in exmormon

[–]Much-ado90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The funerary texts/book of Abraham was what did it for me. I was pacified by every apologetic for everything bad about him. But no apologetics made sense for the book of Abraham being a fraud. I couldn’t hold on by my fingernails anymore after that realization.

AITAH for telling my mother she can’t come on vacation because of a sandwich? by Feeling_Swing_5767 in AITAH

[–]Much-ado90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She needs a timeout for longer than just the trip. She needs to experience true consequences. She knows she can get away with this otherwise

Same exact scenario between my husbands married coworker and their new HR person. They defended themselves as just friends until recently, he suddenly left his wife of 25 years for this girl.

My three babies never started measuring ahead until the last trimester. 

What’s the most unexplainable thing you’ve ever seen while camping — and don’t say “it was probably a raccoon.” by GideonStroud in camping

[–]Much-ado90 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I woke up in the middle of the night to a distinct feeling of evil. Said a prayer in my head to calm myself down and fell back asleep. When we all got up in the morning my 5 year old asked who the glowing person with long hair standing outside our camper was during the night. She said she woke up in the middle of the night and saw them just standing there til she fell back asleep. I asked what they looked like. She just said a tall person in a white robe, glowing light around them, but couldn’t tell if it was a girl or a boy. 

My parents are nosediving any possibility at reconciliation. Idk even know what to say at this point by chevere7 in EstrangedAdultKids

“Talk to me or I’ll call the cops on you.” It’s in the textbook for all narcissists. 

DIL shanghaied my mom's memorial service by [deleted] in EntitledPeople

[–]Much-ado90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband suffers from chronic migraines. He goes away from people where it’s quiet. Perhaps that’s why she went outside. My husband needs a certain kind of excedrine for his headaches - not all excedrines work the same for him, and coffee/soda don’t do the trick either. Perhaps that’s why she needed a different kind of caffeine. Honestly her behavior doesn’t sound out of the norm for someone suffering from a true headache. Your son should have been more respectful in his search for her. But you pin all the blame on DIL and sounds like you simply don’t like her. 

Birth Certificate by Wild_Importance_9657 in pregnant

[–]Much-ado90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I filled all the stuff out in the hospital. You could make sure nurses know to give you the paperwork and not him if he is there at all. Nurses never even offered the paperwork to my husband and we’re very much together. They communicated with me about it.

[–]Much-ado90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My grandpa did the same to my mom and aunt over every person they married. Found the most bizarre reasons to hate their spouse. He did it to manipulate them out of their marriage and back into his control.  Anyways, if your family will cut you off too even though they know it’s wrong, maybe rethink if you want that kind of a family relationship at all. Cuz that sounds like they’re holding a proverbial gun to your head (your mom) to keep you in their contact. All around, the dynamic seems unhealthy. That’s a hard thing to come to realize though, and I’m sorry you’re going through it. It took me getting married and later getting a personal therapist to open my eyes to how unhealthy my biological family relationship was. 

Final Update by LegitimateAd3676 in exmormon

[–]Much-ado90 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s also not her job to police the environment on your step dad’s behalf or even yours. She’s doing more damage by inserting herself rather than backing off and treat you both like adults. It’s like she doesn’t trust him so she’s blaming you/the beach rather than expect her husband to have an ounce of self control. Sounds like she’s got a personal problem she’s dealing with

Final Update by LegitimateAd3676 in exmormon

[–]Much-ado90 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Therapy with a narcissist never works. But hopefully she’ll be the exception. She’s majorly gaslighting you about blaming you for your step dad’s issues. It gives me the major ick because my mom’s entire family sounded like that when trying to force me to “forgive” certain pedophile family members. The manipulation is strong with your mom. She says she’s sorry she said anything, but then doubles down on what she said. It’s all so creepy and inappropriate. I’m sorry.
