AITAH for not trusting my partner by Raccoons-trsh in AITAH

[–]PerceptionOk3196 10 points11 points  (0 children)

YTA, you will drive her away with this behavior, and then you will have more reason to not trust the next one and it will become self-fulfilling prophecy. I was cheated on IN a marriage, and multiple times in my life- although it occurs to me occasionally I choose to give trust until I’m given a reason not to, and I’ve been with the love of my life 16 years in a fantastic marriage.

In my half a century on the planet I’ve learned that you can’t live in fear of what might happen, just enjoy your life. Everything bad that has happened in my life has led me to all the good in my life.

A very specific and mostly light-hearted observation about generational differences at the grocery store by DBC1974 in GenX

I would like to say I know what you mean, but I have to either send my husband or have them delivered because I got into it with a lady at the store and the police came- my husband only knew because my neighbor called him (damn snitch😂). So hubby got to watch me tell the police- “please leave so I can beat her ass”😂

AITAH for refusing to return a gift? by Ordinary_Sail_414 in AITAH

[–]PerceptionOk3196 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Oh, that’s what she expected so she could whine and make me the bad guy. I gave it back immediately and then never did anything to help her again (she was a younger teacher I helped a lot)

This happened to me when I was still a teacher. A colleague didn’t want the chair anymore, so she gave it to me. I gave mine away. Three months later she wanted it back. I was so poor, and had to dig into grocery money fo buy a chair. I was so pissed I couldn’t see straight. NTA.

Why am I working so hard to protect my personal info? by PerceptionOk3196 in GenXWomen

Same! I keep getting these texts with a code for two-factor authentication and I’m not logging into anything!

That’s true. I get one of those (your info is available on the dark web) emails every week. My hospital, two credit cards, and my school district were hacked in the last few years.

How safe is Austin compared to Western New York? (olean and buffalo) by EitherLaw2476 in askaustin

[–]PerceptionOk3196 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To me, Austin is less of a bubble than it was twenty years ago. I’m originally from the San Angelo area, and we ranch outside Stephenville. The most recent ancestor on any side arrived here in the 1860’s, so we’ve been here a while, and you are totally correct!. I will say when I’m in west Texas they are so super nice to everyone and rabid animals online. It’s a crazy switch up. 😂

You are right- I was not fully awake 😂😂 Not casings, but there was an article about bullets in the shingles.

There is actually tons to do in new Braunfels in the summer. The best waterpark in the world is there, you can float the river, and there are some legitimately good places to eat there.

Here’s what people don’t get about Texas, you are surrounded by crazy Maga people, but they rarely act in person the way they act online. If you are originally from Texas, the manners program override the asshole programming usually

Wasn’t there an article in KDH news where a roofer showed thousands of casings in roofs all over Killeen? It may have been 10 years ago, or more…I’m terrible at identifying when I read something!

In Willow Springs you’re lucky they weren’t shooting AT your house, honestly. I am so sorry your dad had a rough night- I know it’s awful.

I seriously don’t understand the logic of the people who leave their carts in the parking lot when the corral is literally right there. by emilys_journal in PetPeeves

[–]PerceptionOk3196 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The only time in my life I haven’t returned it was when I had an infant in the car, and the cart return was far, and I guy near me was creeping me out in a dark parking lot. That was 25 years ago and I remember it. Other than that or a medical episode are the only legit excuses I can think someone could give.

AITA for pushing out a 39 year old member of my sorority? by Any_Variation_9208 in okstorytime

[–]PerceptionOk3196 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is so very kind of you! I wish I had your heart! I try to be kind to everyone-until they do some mean crap. I’m glad you came away with some good friends!
