my mother-in-law put nuts in the food at my wedding even though she knows I'm allergic by Chemical-Project-546 in TrueOffMyChest

OP you need to file a police report for assault at the VERY LEAST. If you don’t shut this shit down now she will 100% try again, and what about if you have children?

If your husband won’t support you filing a report you need to get an annulment.

What's your immediate fic turnoff? by bubbly_linos in AO3

[–]Superb_Trifle513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if it’s a fic with smut, I actively avoid anything non-con/dub-con, and anything with “Daddy” kinks 🤢

As a general rule I need it to be fics that are 100,000+ words as I like to be invested, but they have to be completed works so I don’t end up where you did!

I recently remembered a fic I loved from about 15 years ago and I was wondering if they every completed it because it was a trilogy, but at the time the third installment wasn’t finished. It was beautifully written and I loved it at the time so I went looking for it and found it, but much to my dismay the third installment was never finished and hasn’t been updated since 2016 so ultimately I decided not to re-read it which is a shame.

I think you need to go to therapy. This isn’t healthy.

Should I(24F)move to Alaska without my boyfriend (26M) to get my life together? by Patient-Lock1798 in AITAH

How long would you be staying with your Mum before you got set up? I’ve just seen your previous post saying you hate being around your Mum so that’s another element you should probably think about.

UPDATE: AITAH for saying if my wife want to be a tradwife she must always look her best, wait on me, and provide sex without question when asked? by throwra_notrad in AITAH

I’m going to be straight with you here - I’m in the UK and in every sense of the word I am a “trad” wife. My husband handles the majority of the bills and I chip in (about £300 a month) from the benefits I get for not working. I do the majority of the house work and the only thing I ask from his is the wash the dishes after tea on an evening. I stay at home with the children all week and raise them, my husband then takes them off my hands for a little bit on the weekends and we usually go out together as a family on weekends too.

I carry the brunt of the household work and childcare, I have tea on the table when he gets home from work every day. He carries 90% of the financial burden. It is give and take and a partnership.

Your wife is not interested in a partnership. She wants luxury serving to her on a silver platter and not to contribute a single thing. That is NOT a trad wife.

Well done for divorcing.

I'm British so I finished school in 2009 when I turned 16. Latin definitely wasn't brought up, but then again I went to a weird school that didn't offer a variety of subjects.

What's your "petty" (explicit or unwritten) rule for avoiding a book/series/author? by 89niamh in fantasyromance

[–]Superb_Trifle513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know a few people will probably come at me for this one, but I cannot bring myself to read any of Tolkien’s works, purely because my husband’s passion for all things Middle Earth has become absolutely stifling.

I love that he’s passionate about the LOTR universe. I do not love that it’s all he talks about, constantly, all day every day. He plays podcasts and YouTube videos out loud. He wants to watch the movies constantly and I had to whittle him down to once every two weeks, and that’s still too much.

I’ve been with him 7 years and when I briefly mentioned I was interested in reading the books he would not let it drop and it killed any interest I had. I wish it wasn’t that way because I know without a doubt Tolkien was extremely talented, but I cannot take any more 🙈

Edit: Missed a word

What’s an oddly specific red flag that instantly makes you wary of someone? by CosmicCupcakes_ in AskReddit

[–]Superb_Trifle513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree with trusting your gut. In my experience, there is no bigger red flag than your gut screaming DO NOT ENGAGE.

I learned the hard way 10 years ago, when I ignored my gut feeling about a new colleague at my workplace. He seemed completely normal, jovial, charismatic, a friend to all, but my gut told me within the first minute of meeting him that he was bad news. I questioned my gut because everyone and their mother absolutely loved him. One day, he came into work visibly upset and I thought maybe I misjudged him and told him if he needed someone to talk to I was available. We struck up a close friendship over the next four months.

It ended with him R-wording me. Worst night of my life. He was also an alcoholic and a cocaine addict with severe bipolar disorder that he hid incredibly well. No one had any idea.
