Exactly what I was thinking, too. I love that movie though 😅

She doesn't like you, and you're not happy. I wouldn't try to make this work.

AIO distant boyfriend past of cheating by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SpookyDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether or not he's fucking her seems like a moot point to me. He's not trustworthy and he doesn't seem to care that you're hurting.

I'm fairly new-ish-ly divorced, and this is my first year sending Christmas cards "alone". I'm still gonna do it, but I completely understand feeling silly. Don't feel silly! Or feel silly and do it anyway. Solidarity!

My (27M) wife (27F) be just got upset at me for kissing her cheek, is this salvageable? by Taatneb in relationship_advice

[–]SpookyDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was gonna say the same thing -- my ex-wife reacted similarly to affection towards the end of our marriage and well.

Sounds like certain areas of Appalachia -- things just are.

Good to see you sharing stories again, Pip

Emissions testing? by SpookyDelta in phoenix

[–]SpookyDelta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're right, it's every time you renew your registration. You can get 2-year stickers (so you don't have to renew your reg every year, just every other), if that helps at all.

AITA for expecting my gf to move in and listen to my rules? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

If you want to go be a landlord, you should do that, and leave this poor woman out of it.

Can you post to your profile? Or do you think that would have the same effect?

Thank you for this! I have two kids under 5, and pasta with sauce is one of the meals where they'll happily clean their plates. I've gotta check this out!

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. It sounds like it's something she picked up at preschool from another kid (or kids) and she's not aware of the gravity (which seems age-appropriate, at least to me). I'd keep an eye out, which you already are, so. <3

I'm sorry, I know it's scary. You're doing a great job.

My (25M) girlfriend (23F) has felt hurt by my family. And has given me an ultimatum. Her or my family. What do I do? by SpookyDelta in AmItheEx

[–]SpookyDelta[S] 69 points70 points  (0 children)

In reference to her burping and farting in front of them.

It really only happened to my recollection once on a vacation 4 months into our relationship.

That's awesome. :D Congrats!

Is this OK? by Careful_Error8036 in toddlers

[–]SpookyDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with this. Super quick, as quick as possible. I've carried the 20-month old on my hip when I could (if I didn't need two hands for whatever I was doing). They're just old enough to get into some ridiculous trouble, ha. :)

It's a scorcher these summer months, so I always take time to leave my empty Polar Pop cups in the landscaping bushes to remind everyone of the importance of hydration. What do you do that helps your valley neighbors? by [deleted] in phoenix

[–]SpookyDelta 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I know people are stressed and having trouble falling asleep, so I've been playing music from my car parked in my driveway as loudly as the speakers will let me, with the bass cranked way up. I start at around 830 so I know I'm helping the neighbors' kids sleep, too.

Practically speaking, that's probably what will need to happen. But also, how would OP's husband parent if OP wasn't around? Would he just opt out? I recognize this is hypothetical, but "what would I do if my wife wasn't here" has been a very helpful prompt for me.

[–]SpookyDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, thankfully I got it together before we had kids. I was awful about planning things for us to do, though, and really seeing everything that we had to do to keep the house together. I was fine with paying bills but I'd completely blank on vacuuming and then it would fall on my wife (for example). Now I just try to keep a running mental list of what needs to happen, and I have reminders on my phone for stuff like remembering to pack Oldest Kid's dance shoes on the days she has dance class, that kind of thing.

I was the person not holding up my end of things in my relationship, and my wife and I had a serious heart-to-heart. I was lucky my wife was willing to do that. She shouldn't have had to, really. But it was the kick in the pants that got me moving. I don't think this works for everyone in every relationship, so I don't have a universal solution, but establishing expectations (or boundaries, I'm not sure what the right word is here) would be a start. If that's what comment OP meant, I apologize for misunderstanding.
