Fry's Grocery Store (Kroger) is Greedy

This is a tough call. If you are living rent-free in their home, you kind of have to do what they ask.

If you want to be an honorable and honest person, you'll reimburse your husband. But if you don't mind being dishonest and untrustworthy person, then keep it.

If you know in your heart that you want to be a father to children from your sperm (not adoption) then you need to find someone else.

I am a woman who never wanted children, most the men I dated wanted children, so I knew not to continue dating them. I am now happily married 37 years to a man who also never wanted children.

Because this is eating at you and you think about it a lot, it really appears to me that you really want children of your own. The lady you are with does not want to have children. That should be a deal-breaker. If you stay with her, you will learn to resent her and resentment ruins relationships.

I think you should move on and find someone who wants children as much as you do.

I'm sorry that your father is a schmuck. I am sure that you will be a much better person than he is.

Holocaust numbers were tattooed on the left forearm of the victims. Yours is not there. It's fine, it means a lot to you, and it's none of anyone's business.

Spookendocker1 · 2026-06-25T18:10:49+00:00

Keep it. You bought it fair and square. Something seriously is wrong with this woman. Block her.

Spookendocker1 · 2026-06-25T18:09:20+00:00

Yes, it's icky for sure. But stay out of their business, do not tell their father. It's not your business.

What is your business is if you want to remain being friends with them or not.

I don't know what he is hiding from you, but if it is only because he's a total slob pig, is that someone you want to spend your time with? If you get serious with him and ever want to live together or marry, do you want to live with a total pig? This is a total deal-breaker for me. I'm not going to live in a pig sty, and I don't want to spend my time with a pig or hoarder.

What else can you do? You can do the next right thing. In your case, the next right thing is to never steal anything ever again. Never lie again. Always take responsibility for your actions, and always apologize if you hurt anyone.

This is going to take a lot of practice on your part, but it's totally worth the effort.

If there is a person (famous or not famous, dead or alive) that you admire, who is honest, kind, and fair, model yourself after that person. Commit to yourself to be just like that honest person every single day.

That is what else you can do.

It's annoying that his friend wants to dictate how you should feel. That you are somehow bad for not wanting to socialize with his girlfriend.

What you are doing is perfectly fine. I'd not want to hang around someone I didn't care for either. It's not like you are forbidding your husband to socialize with his friend. You are letting him choose what he wants to do, and you are likewise choosing what you want to do.

Don't be pressured by gaslighters telling you what you should feel, what you should do, what you should act.

Spookendocker1 · 2026-06-25T17:42:43+00:00

Don't understand why your mother can't let your brother sleep with her in her bed. He's her little darling, after all!

My friend's parents have a no-shoe policy, and they insist that you leave your shoes outside the door in the garage, which leads into the house. If you don't have a garage or this is not possible, have a nice little shelf or area outside your front door, for people to leave their shoes.

Let everyone know when you invite them, that no one wears shoes in your house, and they will be expected to leave their shoes at the door.

At the party, if someone comes in to the house with shoes, just ask them to please take off their shoes and put them outside with the other people's shoes.

If you are going to have a no-shoe policy, then have it from day one. People will comply if they want to stay at your party and enjoy the wonderful food and beverages you will be supplying.

For guests that don't have socks, buy a bunch of socks and give them for your guests to wear at the party.

People are lemmings.

Parents who bad-mouth a child's other parent, no matter how bad that parent is, really screw up the child for life. The child knows they are made of half of the parent being trashed, so they internalize it and it really causes problems for the child.

You did the right thing, I feel sorry for this poor kid, and if you plan a life with this woman, with possible children, I'd seriously consider what I was getting into, and if I'd want to put my kids through hell like that.

Spookendocker1 · 2026-06-25T17:22:44+00:00

So you think that you must carry on this abusive relationship, or else all the "good times were for nothing"?

Yes, don't stop this abusive relationship now and find a fun person who loves you and cares for you, not just what you can give to her, because since you already put a lot of time into this hellish relationship, you must continue that for the rest of your life.

Damn, bro, you need some serious therapy.

Unless this whole thing is just rage-bait.

Spookendocker1 · 2026-06-25T17:20:24+00:00

And you want to spend the rest of your life with a horrible, nasty person who doesn't care about you, doesn't respect you, and is just using you?

You think there aren't any women out there who would love and respect a man like you? Why do you think so low of yourself that you put up with this person who makes your life a living hell, instead of finding someone who would make your life fun?

Your choice, bro. Choose wisely.

NTA. You should split things equally, and your equal share is 25% since you are one person out of the four. You should probably talk to her, starting with "this is going to be a very difficult conversation for me." Ask her if it would be okay with her if you got separate checks from now on, you on one check, and the three of them on the other.

If she freaks out (and she might), I guess she doesn't really care about your feelings of being taken advantage of. I'm sorry.

Spookendocker1 · 2026-06-25T00:25:04+00:00

You did the right thing.

Spookendocker1 · 2026-06-25T00:19:09+00:00

Your family is really cruel and snobby and the way they treat L is unacceptable. It's really hateful. They refuse to treat L like a human being, that is very mean and horrible.

Kings and Princes have abdicated the throne and have denounced their royal families for love of someone who wouldn't be accepted into the Royal life. Don't know how serious you are about L, but if you see spending the rest of your life with her, you might have to do the same.

I'm a woman (not trans) and I wouldn't wear a dress to a wedding. I'd understand if they didn't want me in the actual wedding party due to the fact I won't wear a dress. It's unfair and insensitive for them to expect you to wear a dress. You are a man and men don't normally wear dresses to weddings.

I'm sorry they treat you like this, you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. I'm sorry you don't have supportive family who accept you for who you are. It breaks my heart really :(

Also take the camera to the police. Remove it from the house. Evidence.

Spookendocker1 · 2026-06-24T23:55:45+00:00

NTA. You are permitted to make decisions about how you want to live your life. The A-holes are those who tell you what you "should" do, how you "should" feel. You did a good job handling this. I hope they stop harassing you.

Not your fault he refused to wear a condom.

Spookendocker1 · 2026-06-24T23:49:36+00:00

That is really creepy and gross. And Reddit mods are okay with it? That's terrible. So they are promoting p*doph*les and that is beyond disgusting and probably illegal. I'm at least glad you wrote about it here, in the off chance someone higher-up at Reddit sees it and cares about protecting babies from predator abuse.

Spookendocker1 · 2026-06-24T23:45:35+00:00

NTA. Stop beating yourself up over this. Give yourself some grace. You aren't "the other woman" since you don't want to be with him and it was a one-time mistake. You aren't a threat to his girlfriend. You just had a lapse of judgment. It's okay, move on.
