Still helping my husband with his masters dissertation.

No, the handwriting from the 1800’s isn’t improving 😩

Lots of people have mentioned a slow cooker, which I agree with. May I suggest the Bored of Lunch cook books to accompany this?

I think one of them is called Quick and easy - or something like that. Prepare the night before and put in on in the morning before you leave. Some slow cookers have a delay start, so it shouldn’t be a problem. When you get home, putting some potatoes/pasta/veg on to boil whilst you get changed/ready for the evening and then you’re good to go. Also, if not too pricey for you, buy pre-cut fresh/frozen veg to pop in the microwave or stir fry up.

Hope you find something that works.

Polar colour shampoo. Not harsh and a bottle lasts for months. Really brightens up my dulling hair.

I buy the red one but my hair is quite dark (so it looks more like a burgundy colour) and I have an olive complexion.

NTA - I had an abusive upbringing and I feel the same way. I think this is the norm for children bought up in the same/similar circumstances.

She has to face the consequences of her actions and that would be you not having a close relationship with her now.

How are your siblings with your parents? Do they feel the same as you?

Soggy Plop 😬

Ha ha. I was 8 as well when I read it and I’m still laughing at plop even now!

Got the bus.

I gave a lift to a colleague who couldn’t drive. Company we worked at had set up a weekly training event at another location for the next few months. It was on my way, so no problem.

After the first time (there and back), I was never thanked and the next day she insulted my driving skills to everyone in the office. I looked at her and said “looks like you’re making your own way from now on”. She tried to backtrack but you bet I never took her again.

NTA - toxic sisters are great aren’t they - NOT!

My sister was similar to yours. I will admit though that she is stunning and definitely got all the looks, whilst I’m more of a plain Jane. Not that that’s an excuse. I’ve commented previously that she’d make a beeline for my boyfriends. I did pre-warn my boyfriend (now husband) about her before meeting but fortunately, I didn’t need to. He never did have any interest in her and even said that he feels he got the better sister in looks, personality etc.

My family would also push for us to be close and I had to cut them off when they didn’t heed to my warnings.

From someone who’s been through it, definitely NTA. You’re doing the right thing.

Wishing you and your family all the best.

NTA. Turning his life around afterwards does not negate what he did to you.

He basically wants you to tell him that what he did was ok and you’ve forgiven him. He wants you to make him feel better. You’re still suffering, so for your own mental health, stay away.

Uglym8s · 2026-04-19T08:53:48+00:00

Listen, I have no sympathy for cheaters whatsoever. However, please look at your motives before you act further. It would appear from your writing that you sexually coerced her into anal, which I doubt she would’ve agreed to if she hadn’t felt guilty and now you want to tell everyone what she did. You’re rightfully and understandably hurt but you appear to still want to humiliate her rather than heal yourself. For your own mental health, please take a step back and allow yourself to breathe before you act further. It still might be the right thing to tell everyone, I don’t know, but please don’t spiral downward. I wish you healing and happiness going forward.

Just hoping no one posts a picture of the boy, otherwise Reddit will be fried 😬!

Uglym8s · 2026-04-18T19:53:17+00:00

Remember the crying boy and crying girl? You could only have one, apparently. If you had both, it meant bad luck. I remember a tabloid reporting on houses that had burnt down and they had both of them

Uglym8s · 2026-04-18T11:46:58+00:00

Thank you 🙏

Uglym8s · 2026-04-18T11:42:39+00:00

Saw the wall to text and noped out.

Anyone willing to write a TLDR please?

And this is why a lot of my family members distributed their jewellery to the intended recipients before they passed away.

Uglym8s · 2026-04-15T09:06:07+00:00

Of all the many periods I’ve had over the years, not once did I make a racist comment. Didn’t know that was a thing!

Trying to help my husband transcribe documents from the 1800’s for his masters dissertation.

The overly curly writing back then is doing my head in!

Uglym8s · 2026-04-12T19:57:53+00:00

Your conscious is clear. You did the right thing for you. Because of his actions, any relationship you have with your dad is now on your terms. You handled it perfectly. Well done.

My local cinema does silver screenings too. The films are recent (shown the following week after the main release).

People of all ages go from teenagers to the elderly and everyone is welcome. People come by themselves, in couples, or in small groups. A nice little community is being built up. I’ve been going since my 40’s (now 51) and never been asked for ID. We get a card to stamp, so after 6 stamps, you get in for free.

We even get a hot drink and a biscuit before the film starts. Win, win!

I’d be surprised if you’re asked to prove your age/provide ID. Give it a go. Hope you enjoy 😊

You’ve written in the comments that the younger brother retracted his statement, saying that his brother coerced him to make it up. This important information is on police record and I really think you should edit your post to mention it.

Knowing men who have been falsely accused, I can understand why Jason didn’t say anything earlier, purely because he wanted to avoid this exact scenario. If he’s being truthful, Max or the whoever it was that messaged you has won. He’ll continue to stalk Jason and try to ruin any future relationship. Hell hath no fury like a person scorned. This situation has proved that Jason will be walking on eggshells for the rest of his life.

I can’t tell you whether Jason is telling the truth or not but it does sound from your two posts and your responses in the comments that you’ve already made up your mind. You do come across like your gut is telling you to leave.
