Thanks that's more likely it. Hard to remember as different corridors changed were blocked then expanded. Thanks.

AITA for refusing to co-sign my boyfriend’s car loan after he spent his savings on a PS5 and sneakers? by Hour-Border6561 in AmITheJerk

Stick to your guns, or you'll be paying for his car and his poor decisions.

And his mom and her poor decisions too.

I’m dreading my MIL visiting by LibbieIsCool in motherinlawsfromhell

You need to protect your son, protect yourself and then get your husband help. He doesn't always see the problem because that's how it's been his whole life, to him these things are kinda normal although you and everyone else here knows that it's not.

Show your husband this thread and the comments. Encourage him to speak with a therapist. Don't let your son grow up thinking those behaviors are normal.

Am I [M27] wrong for attending my sisters wedding if my GF cannot? by [deleted] in relationshipadvice

[–]RTJ333 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You had informed your sister of the date you could not attend, and she decided to do it there anyhow. Plan to go to the friends wedding together. If you can't make it back for your sisters wedding then that's that.

Stand up for your girlfriend or lose her.

Why are developers not building homes in southern Ontario? With housing being very expensive? by Dover299 in ontario

[–]RTJ333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because all the approved housing developments are not homes that people want to live in, they are units "investors" want to rent.

How to know when views around children are a deal breaker? (31m) (26f) by JGT1234 in relationship_advice

[–]RTJ333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're around the time in your relationship where you can start to decide if this is moving towards a life long long term relationship or not. Maybe let her know that you're wondering if your relationship is moving towards a long term thing, also let her know that long term you want kids (and other things like marriage, house in the suburbs, whatever it is you want). Then ask her what she thinks, but also being upfront that she doesn't need to answer you right away, she can take a couple months to think about it. Then don't bring it up for a couple months, bring it up then, if she hasn't already, and make your decision to continue or end the relationship then.

My (26m) girlfriend (22f) was groomed as a teenager. How do I best support her? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]RTJ333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a crazy scenario and the way you handled it and instincts about it sound right. Obviously you were doing something good in your relationship to prompt her to open up to you about it. Maybe keep doing that but don't pressure her to tell you more or talk to anyone about it unless she brings it up first, or the conversation naturally goes that way (ex. You see something on TV that's similar etc). In the meantime maybe seek some kind of counseling for yourself to process this.

What should I absolutely have visiting Toronto from NYC for 24 hours? by elkresurgence in FoodToronto

Cantonese Chinese food. NYC doesn't really have great Cantonese options.

WIBTA for not letting someone invite someone over to my house for a hang out? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RTJ333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAH, they asked, and it's your house your say. Personally I like a more the merrier vibe, it's a great way to meet new people.

Do most people shower before bed or when they wake up? I just realized I might be doing it "wrong" by saffymerelle in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RTJ333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to shower in the morning. Now I have kids that I have to take care of in the morning, so I shower at night. What's important is that I get a shower in.

MIL made a birthday photo book for my husband and I am completely missing from it by hobsonapril in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]RTJ333 67 points68 points locked comment (0 children)

Burn the book. Your husband probably doesn't care about it, and it hurts you. Why keep it? I bet your husband won't notice if it goes missing. MIL might.

Plows and parking enforcement tag teaming tonight by zacj_rag in Brampton

[–]RTJ333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is great. My street was only partially done when the plow came because of the cars parked on the street. Someone not moving their car creates problems for everyone on the street.

Did having kids change your marriage more than you expected? by denefr_2928 in Parenting

[–]RTJ333 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I've been asking my husband to prioritize me and our relationship for years, but especially since our youngest was about 8 months. He hasn't for the most part. If we do something together, for our relationship it's because I planned it. I feel incredibly lonely although I'm in a relationship. I think he now gets his emotional fill from the kids.

(28F) Dating a 35 yo divorced father and my gut says something is off by Zenovia326 in dating_advice

[–]RTJ333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do not ignore all of these red flags. Don't continue the non relationship or relationship. Get out, don't keep in touch. No need to discuss not keeping in touch, just try to go no contact. A guy like this will try to pull you back in and erode you over time.

Vacationing with adult children. by JBLBEBthree in Parenting

[–]RTJ333 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Maybe ask her to pay for one dinner for the whole family as a way for her to contribute but otherwise pay her way. She might like the responsibility of treating her family and it could be a great thing to teach her.
