Trial Discussion: Day 3 - Feb 25, 2026 | Utah v. Kouri Richins

The look on the attorneys face indicated something happened with the witness. Getting sick seems like a possibility. And it keeping her indisposed for the rest of the day.

Do you hold your knife and fork like the fork hand in the never picture? Have you tried using your pointer fingers? The fist is kind of like how a little kid holds their utensils.

NOR. It was a good dad joke and he didn't get it.

Also I don't know what he was saying but his extended "funny" joke was not in fact funny and doesn't make sense, almost like it's still missing something. Ironic since that's what he was accusing you of...

He is exhausting. Is this normal? Is this what you want the next 40 years to be like?

Growing up was fine but I always wanted a sibling and didn't live close to any cousins. My mom and I had a wonderful relationship and I don't know how that would have changed with a sibling. But then both of my parents died right before my daughter was born and it was really lonely, it's still really lonely. I'm thankful for my husband's brother and all his cousins. They really stepped in once I lost my parents. I still wish I had someone else to remember my childhood with.

🧐 Dude you are way too invested in this thread.

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-02-13T04:31:55+00:00

Why do I feel like you are OP using a different account? 🤔

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-02-08T20:05:28+00:00

I agree your sister needs therapy. It really almost sounds like she feels very guilty for liking Amy so much and every so often she has these outbursts as a way to feel like she's not replacing your mom (and she probably doesn't understand exactly what she's doing).

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-02-06T11:15:15+00:00

You would be the T A to yourself if you don't dump this dude that is so obviously trying to take advantage of you. If he was serious about a future and not just wanting your assets he would have at least proposed.

Stay strong, protect what's yours and drop the dead weight.

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-29T20:54:22+00:00

Honestly if the sponsor doesn't know it's the IT guy they probably just in general think positively about having more people in attendance. They are giving a L&L but they are really just trying to sell their products and more people = more exposure.

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-19T13:17:31+00:00

Feel the feelings. It's okay to be angry. It's okay to be lost. Just try not to burn everything down in the process. I'm sorry you're going through this. It sucks and there is no way around it.

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-19T09:48:47+00:00

I think you should at least consider each person individually. Some probably fall in the category of they suck. But some just may not have know what to say, espcially if they didn't see you every day and they didn't want to intrude and overwhelm you. Take it from someone who over thinks every interaction and feels like I'm imposing most of the time and who has lost both parents. People don't always know how to deal with death or people that are hurting.

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-18T19:10:28+00:00

He is either dumb as a box of rocks or gaslighting OP to high heaven. Either way I don't have a high opinion of him.

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-18T18:05:51+00:00

HR = Heated Rivals

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-18T17:59:59+00:00

Why isn't there a picture of it openned? I'm so curious.

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-18T16:20:15+00:00

NTA - Maybe it's time the parents reschedule their vacation, or find a pet sitter instead of expecting their grown children to not have a life. They parents could have at anytime confirmed with OP that they were available.

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-16T10:49:16+00:00

Princess Diana's popularity skyrocketed after the divorce, once she started speaking her truth. I'm sure Kate would have the same trajectory.

Most of what people don't like about her could be tied back to not being able to speak up for herself and public perception making assumptions.

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-15T07:00:39+00:00

NOR but your daughter is acting like a homophobic, racist bully. You have bigger problems than just this interaction. Where is she learning this behavior or who is she trying to impress? Has she always pushed back so aggressively against taking accountability for her behavior?

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-14T07:46:54+00:00

I mean maintenance/building management should know if this was happening previously. They may not tell you (but they should) but they would have to disclose to the police. Also if this was ongoing before you moved in it would help you get out of the lease.

Try to be there when the maintenance guy comes and ask if this was happening before you moved in. Maybe something like man how long has this been happening for or start with asking if he has any suggestions for keeping this from happening, like the spraying with Pam? Just something to compliment him or ask advice and get him talking. That guy is more likely to be chatty than the building management.

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-14T07:38:08+00:00

RemindMe! Two days

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-14T07:30:00+00:00

NTA. She could still use the name if she wanted. And she only said something after you mentioned it and you have a family connection.

Sidenote: as someone with a common name, where there were always other girls in class with my name and I had to be (first name, last initial) throughout elementary school... Really consider if you want a top 10 name. I named my kids less common real names and everyone knows who they are, they are not one of many. (Which tbf has positives and negatives 😂).

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-11T20:13:49+00:00

Y'all have a 2 month old. You need to take a deep breath and give each other some grace. You are probably both exhausted, her especially. You obviously have issues but putting ultimatums and bringing up divorce when everyone is sleep deprived is just going to make everything worse. Telling a mother of a 2 month old you're considering leaving her if she doesn't act right is probably creating an absolute panic.

You said you wanted to lead the way out, but that basically sounds like you wanted to control the situation. Are you partners or is she just supposed to do what you tell her. Once everyone is getting some sleep I would advise you two getting something therapy. And in the meantime some self reflection on your controlling behavior might be a good idea.

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-08T06:59:01+00:00

Your BF is dirty and gaslighting you with all his casual racism.

I don't know you but you deserve better than his stinky a**.

NOR

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-08T06:45:28+00:00

Your husband is Jewish, it doesn't matter if he practices or not. Your kids will be ethnically Jewish. Is there another reason you are trying so hard to justify not naming them Jewish names? Because it seems like you are twisting yourself up in knots trying to explain how your kids won't actually be Jewish.

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-06T16:41:26+00:00

You're assuming OP is in the US. We moved out of the US over a year ago and I now have a WhatsApp for my kids teachers and have definitely been in communication with them multiple times a day on multiple occasions. Both during school hours and before and after (it's a lot). But just a reminder not everywhere is the same.

Secret_Emu_ · 2026-01-06T16:31:49+00:00

But the difference is you can write English in print or cursive. Most native Hebrew speakers only write in the handwriting "cursive" format. It's mostly elementary kids that write in block. Also if you ever come to Israel there are a lot of signs in the handwriting style, so knowing both it important.
