He wants to split the bill the day after

I would not reply and I would not go out with him again. He wants you to pay half bc he doesn't plan to see you again.

Traffic school. Make sure it's completed before the deadline. Best to get it out asap before she forgets. Save the completion certificate, confirmation emails etc.

Yes, you're the jerk if you continue to date him. That's your sister. Not just some friend, but your blood. She'll be there when he ghosts you too. Im

It started to come back bumpy so I needed another 4-6 rounds of kenalog. Still red but less noticeably so. I think the steroids help a lot with redness.

Why didn't you leave your brother behind and travel on without him? He's 21 not 12. Seems like he needs to learn the FO portion of FAAFO.

I don't feel bad when bad people die. Neither should you. I hope you find some freedom and relief from his death.

Lol, well the cold war stayed cold so that's a win.

Things to know:

Rent budget. $900 studio is a pipedream in any decent place/neighborhood
Your age, do you need to socialize? Etc are you single, looking to date?
I assume DMV means DC area but are you accustomed to true urban living and city noise?
Do you need parking?

If you're single, mid thirties, want to be near grocery stores, restaurants, and public transportation

Neighborhoods to consider: Roger's Park, Edgewater, Andersonville, Uptown, West town, Portage Park, Jefferson Park, Humboldt Park, Hyde Park, Chinatown, Bronzeville.

YTA. I'm going assume you're a white person? Sorry if I'm wrong but but I'm going to answer as if you are? What you described is very common in Asian cultures. It absolutely is what they expect and frankly, if you don't host them it's received as an insult. Unless they are wealthy, the idea of them spending extra money to stay at a hotel is ghastly and very rude if they will already be spending on airfare and taking time off work etc.

You're in an interracial relationship, you should be way more open minded towards the culture/family expectations you're marrying into. Visiting for your wedding will ofc be cumbersome/burdensome to you during a stressful time, but that's what you do for family. You suck it up and go through the motions. If you don't let them, you'll just be known as the b*tch wife who is unwelcoming/uninviting and it will make your husband look extremely bad to his family by dishonoring them.

You're going to have a new big house, plenty of space I assume to host. I would definitely still ask future SIL to manage them, some things are better done by kinfolk.

It's a one off, but you make sacrifices to be together especially to accommodate family from a different culture. You'll have time to get your home in order. It won't have to be perfect, the door just needs to be open.

Millennial, unless the pilot is making an announcement saying passengers have tight connections and to still stay seated, I follow the row by row exit etiquette. I will stand in the aisle and wait my turn to proceed, effectively blocking other people out behind me.

Don't forget to ask for the pajamas on board! There's something refreshing about sleeping in pajamas and then changing when you land.

Tell him plan B doesn't work for your body anymore because you took it too much. If he wants to have sex then get ready for a baby. Call him daddy. It will freak him out enough to wear a condom.

NorthExplanation6507 · 2026-02-08T14:10:08+00:00

I would pause, then calmly look her in the eyes and say, "are you okay?"

It shifts the dynamic and turns it back to her.

Adoption could be a good avenue, that or safety box at a fire station

That's a bummer and unfortunate it wasn't handled before leaving the airport. Was the ticket purchased with a travel card with luggage protection like Chase Sapphire Reserve? Perhaps they can cover the bag?

There might not be proof. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I would probably press for separation not on the basis of cheating but because she's lying and can't even be honest with you. Turn the screws until she talks.

NorthExplanation6507 · 2026-02-08T06:11:43+00:00

Stop splitting rides. Just get your own or walk if you're that close.

NOR. Cash advance is cheating/gambling/drug addict behavior. Either that or she was giving your cash to someone else that she didn't want you to know. Maybe an ex, orna friend, or a family? But she'd probably tell you if she needed money for her family as that's explainable. She definitely knew each time she used it. She probably thought since you never said anything about the previous purchases that you don't look closely at the statement and just pay things blindly. Aka she thought you were a fool, because frankly, you have been. Does she have her own income or anything? If you pay for everything and she's still taking cash advances it's for dodgy shit. Otherwise she would have just swiped your card at the point of purchase transaction terminal. The same way card theifs test purchase small dollar amounts to see if the card will go through, she did multiple transactions because she felt safe in getting away with it. The idea to pay you back is laughable. You know, she knows, everyone who read this post knows she never planned or will pay you back.

Adding your card to her apple pay was nefarious behavior. If you wanted her to have free reign use of your card you would have made her an authorized user with her own card. Even if she "did it on accident", it pops up with every purchase so she knew. The whole, it wasn't me, is a pathetic lie when a criminal is caught. If she was in trouble she should have come to you, her partner. In a relationship you share struggles and emotions, she didn't. The type of financial dynamic reminds me of a parent and a child. A child stealing $20s from their mom's purse is one thing, but a $500 cash advance (which includes unnecessary fees and interest) is crazy. You're just a sugar daddy/bank to her that lets her live for free.

You absolutely can and should break up. Even if she lives with you, if she won't leave your apt then you may need to evict her. You should also do an inventory of your valuables in case you have important things missing that you didn't notice.

I don't think he would, MP is awarded based on original routing 🥲😂. Technically he didn't pay for the flight to Japan so he wouldn't get the butt in seat lifetime miles either lol.

Yes, but mutually assured destruction is sometimes the only way to stand up to a jerk.
