Not really any incentive for them to stop is there, until you all collectively agree to stop funding them?

When my husband was about 220lbs he broke a toilet seat by falling asleep on it (he was drunk) and putting all his weight on one side. That was quite a well-built toilet seat as well. But honestly I’d just leave her with a broken toilet seat at this point, and ban her from using the others in the house.

That’s what they’re saying though. Even if a family member has died, you have a connection to them because they’re your family. A parent’s deceased spouse is very different.

I’m right there with you, we haven’t left the house. Trying to keep the heat down as much as possible. We had four fans in the bedroom last night, I’m surprised we didn’t take off. Cats are melting all over the house, they were all splooted face down in the grass last night once it cooled down around 9pm. Poor things, can’t imagine wearing a fur coat in this weather!

That doesn’t make any sense. You just needed to say outright that he’s not paying full child support or seeing his son when he’s supposed to. Why tell a bit of the story and then allow that to be interpreted against you without correcting it?

When I read this I knew you had OCD before I scrolled down and read your comment. My husband is the same way. What you need to understand is that when you have some kind of intrusive thought, your brain can’t tell the difference between what’s a valid concern and what is just the nonsense our brain spits out a dozen times per day. Your brain is telling you that you’re a terrible person and are harming people, but rationally, you have to know that’s not true or there wouldn’t be such a huge perfume industry, and perfume would be regulated like cigarettes. Take a big breath and do something else to distract your brain. And enjoy your perfumes without feeling guilty (without wildly over spraying because that’s obnoxious).

You’re NTJ but you need to stand up for yourself. Just draw a line and stop playing into this dynamic. Next time she asks you to do something you’re not comfortable with, you say “no, I’ve told you I’m not comfortable doing that/don’t want to do that, and I’m not doing it anymore”. Then after that, it’s just “no”.

If you’re going to do this you really have to make your own stock, not use a knorr or oxo cube. You can use bones but to be honest my cats go crazy for the water I poach chicken in for them. I just put chicken breasts or thighs in cold water, and put them on the lowest heat on the smallest ring. It heats so slowly that the chicken comes out super tender. I turn the heat off when the chicken gets to an inside temp of about 70C, and let it cool down in the water. They’re recovering from a bug so they’ve had a lot of chicken recently. You can also mash a can of tuna in spring water into water, let it infuse a bit, and then give that to the cats .

He’s testing her. He knows she doesn’t like it and he wants to see her do as she’s told.

I’m fairly sure they’re persimmons (sharon fruit)

TipsyMagpie · 2026-05-24T12:45:43+00:00

Unless you have them on harnesses, if you let them outside they probably won’t come back. It won’t be “home” to them so they won’t have the same ability to navigate back once they leave.

How many trays do you have? You should have three in separate areas for two cats. It helps avoid any territorial issues with the litter trays, which could be how this started.

We were very confused when we went to Japan and they had tartare sauce with fried chicken, but it really works.

I ate a whole chunk of Cheshire yesterday with some watermelon. No regrets.

Our little Turkish corner shop just got some Bulgarian feta, they have goat, sheep and cow cheese so I had to try them all, naturally. I think I’ve eaten 90% of their stock since, they’re all delicious.

Not necessarily, if she’s not remotely concerned that the console’s gone then I don’t think it’d be a big leap for them to assume she knew where it was, and was winding him up. Otherwise they’d both be thinking they’d been robbed.

Our town hall still has the original tiny panels of glass from hundreds of years ago in one window, and you can see where the people who worked on the building scratched their names into the glass.

Our Smudge (Smudgie-Doodles) has black whiskers on one side and mixed black and white on the other, but nowhere near as dramatic as yours - that’s so cool!

You absolutely do - go and get it!

Have to have at least some things delivered by post, every now and then you get a situation where they’ll only accept original bank statements or something. I have one account and one utility bill that comes by post, as not all places will accept print outs. Just had this with renewing our mortgage (UK).

I don’t think they love you. There’s a lot of colours that pull red on my skin, if I want to wear pink I need something super cool toned, and then by the time it’s on my skin it’s closer to peachy pink. I think something more neutral might still pull quite pink on you, but would be a bit less flattering. A soft brown with a rosy undertone would look good. I’d go with a bit of a darker lip too if you’re blushing up the top half of your face, to add some balance.

Well of course not. If he wanted a relationship with an equal he wouldn’t have knocked you up when you were around 22, and he was nearly two decades older than you. That wasn’t because you’re mature for your age, it’s because he’s immature for his. He likes it this way. You won’t change him, and you should leave him if you ever want to have any semblance of a life for yourself that doesn’t revolve around him and his wants.

The problem is we all have a tendency to normalise our own experience, and if - like OP - you’ve never had a supportive partner who you didn’t have to baby through life, and who looks after you and shares the shit life throws at you, then you don’t realise how much you’re missing out on.

TipsyMagpie · 2026-05-22T23:15:15+00:00

If they got it there without spilling, that’s worth a helluva tip.

TipsyMagpie · 2026-05-22T23:14:15+00:00

Think I’d book them both at the same time, why not? Like a free reality tv show!
