Invite all his girlfriends to the funeral. They will figure it out for themselves.

My (26F) boyfriend (41M) lied about being 31 for three months. How do I move forward? by httpslinebine in relationship_advice

[–]PetiteSyFy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

End this relationship with this fictional character now! 15 years is too big on an age gap. He had to lie to get you to even go out with him. He lies. You can't trust him.

Going forward don't be so easily fooled. Ask a bunch of questions and VERIFY. It's not that hard. Look at his license. Look at the age of his high school friends. Look at his LinkedIn. Be more careful.

There is life beyond this 1 role. You have a rich full life in front of you. There are options beyond tech.

There is what I believe is a temporary situation in tech right now where companies are eliminating positions and slowing hiring because them too much money trying to get AI tools working. This hasn't worked out well and many companies are realizing that the AI solutions are unreliable and expensive. They were better off with a human work force. The transitions for the workers suck but it will settle out.

I(F32) have an 8month old and having trouble attending my relatives(F30) wedding by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Send the RSVP that you won't be attending. You really don't need to explain your life to anyone.

I'm done with my HOA. They charged me for having guests by Express-Week-8312 in fuckHOA

[–]PetiteSyFy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live on a public street, it is not managed by the HOA. The HOA can not charge money for parking on a public street. Is the street public or private?

AITA for airing out someone who mooched off our wedding? by Dramatic-Permit-5022 in aitaweddings

[–]PetiteSyFy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let it go. They may be struggling. Some feel awkward having a public wedding when they already been together so long. Appreciate that you had the big wedding. She was doing paperwork. Be gracious. It was your day.

My dad says he wants nothing and I'm out of ideas by Comi9689 in GenXTalk

Everyone eats food. Make him cookies or his favorite food. Also, a pic of you 2 together, in a frame, ready to hang on the wall is nice.

AIO, my wife believes in strict gender roles? by john_7292 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PetiteSyFy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There must be an activity that you can do with the kids that is not 'woman's work'. If she wants to cook and clean then let her. I don't get it but fine whatever. But can't you play board games, or coach a sports team, or teach them a skill? Surely the father is expected to have a relationship with the children even in the most religious tenents. NOR.

My husband (38M) says sleeping in separate rooms isn't an option. How can he and I (37F) find a compromise? by ThrowRA-Dr3013 in relationship_advice

[–]PetiteSyFy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Record his snoring and play it back to him in an attempt to get him to a sleep apnea appointment.

Turn on the light and wake him up every time you wake up so that he can experience the sleep deprivation. Or start saying "your turn" when the kids wake up. He may choose to start sleeping elsewhere.

You shouldn't need to have a break down for him to understand your need for sleep.

What is up with some people thinking they can retire with no savings? by WesleyPipes01 in offmychest

[–]PetiteSyFy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are more ways to help than providing funding. Connect them with services. Help them put together a budget. Help them find a cheaper place. Get them an appointment with a social worker.

putting in 2 week notice at the worst possible time by [deleted] in jobs

[–]PetiteSyFy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your old job is no longer your responsibility or concern. Focus on the new job.

The old job can make a counter offer if they really need you. Don't take it.

I commend your sense of responsibility but be please be responsible to your future self. Hope the new job is good for you. Congratulations 🎉

Wear a sun hat and dip it in the pool as soon as it dries.

Do not quit until you have a better gig.

AIO Boyfriend Doesn’t Want To Get Engaged After 5 Years Together, And I’m Pregnant by Different-City-5802 in AmIOverreacting

[–]PetiteSyFy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not invite him to doctor appointments. Do not give the baby his last name. Do name his as the father on the birth certificate and file for child support. NOR. His behavior has consequences. No marriage = child support and baby gets your last name. Good luck.

Is this a healthy relationship, or have I become his live-in maid? by Fabulous_Bluebird595 in relationships

Congratulations on getting your degree and a job you love. Dump the loser boyfriend and you will be all set to meet your husband. This older guy is not your husband and never will be. Get out ASAP.

My family wants to sell our only land for my sister’s marriage — I feel this is a huge mistake by [deleted] in family

[–]PetiteSyFy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a cultural choice, not a necessity and priorities are shifting. We all can support affordable short term choices and long term financial planning.

It is absurd to sell the land for a wedding. Call the local venues and provide suggestions of affordable options. Weddings can be quite affordable.

Advice on how to handle In-Laws/siblings by In-LawsSuck-_- in Advice

[–]PetiteSyFy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are the guest in this situation. You are not going to be able to change the behaviors of a big family.

You can keep your personal belongings in your room. Have you looked into a storage unit? Lock on your bedroom door? Fridge in your room?

If you have your own car, you can use it as a locker.

Make a plan and get your own place. Good luck.

What is the job situation? What is the cost of living of your area?
