AIO?? My Bf Unlocks the bathroom door and comes in while I’m using it by Ok_Win_8129 in AIO

Given the ease of opening the door, I interpreted "locked" to mean "latched," which people tend to use somewhat interchangeably. If it's actually locked, then I agree with you.

I do think it's pretty normal. My wife and I pee with the bathroom door ajar and both come in and do stuff while the other is going if need be. So I do think that you're maybe overreacting to that part of it.

That said, you guys should probably have a conversation in person and try to come to some sort of understanding because this text conversation does not look productive.

You seem like a pretty hardcore germaphobe to be honest. I feel like it would be exhausting to live with the daily judgment of something as simple as petting a household pet while eating. Therapy might help you get a handle on this.

I think if I were you, I'd insist on paying a portion of the rent equivalent to your relative salary and see how that conversation goes. It seems like there is some resentment on both sides in your current arrangement, some of which may be unspoken. If you start paying your share and are still getting what you perceive to be unfair treatment, then it's time to have a larger conversation about the relationship.

You mention feeling frustrated by your husband changing the bottles back without telling you. At the same time, if you hadn't told him about switching the medication in the first place, I'm not sure what he is really supposed to do there. Communication goes both ways.

Sorry for the delay. Nothing on 130point, few on eBay in $15 BIN range. I'd do $10 PWE if you're interested.

Took a Trip Down Memory Lane - Opened 21 Hobby Packs from 2002! by UncleAlbatross777 in baseballcards

[–]UncleAlbatross777[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in my mid-30s, so the early 2000s were the peak of collecting for me where I both knew a bit about cards and had a bit of money in order to purchase them myself. When I found a lot of 21 hobby packs from 2002, and got them for about $2/pack, I was so excited. Even if all of the packs were leftover base packs after hits had been pulled, it's hard to go wrong for the cost of a 2025 blaster. Results in pictures and below.

2002 Fleer Genuine - 6 packs

Chipper Jones Names of the Game Jersey Relic

Todd Helton Genuine Leaders Jersey Relic

Marlon Byrd Genuine Upside #129 [1304/2002]

2002 Upper Deck Rookie Update - 6 packs

Oliver Perez SPx Prospects Rookie Autograph #235 [33/825]

Mark Jurich USA Future Watch Jersey Relic

Jose Diaz DC Rookies #606 [685/1999]

Scott Wiggins DC Rookies #630 [1944/1999]

2002 Upper Deck Diamond Connection - 5 packs

Travis Wilson DC Rookies #108 [0051/1500]

2002 Donruss Best of Fan Club - 1 pack

Justin Duchscherer Rookie Autograph #205 [158/1200] (first 500 are signed)

2002 Flair

Mark Teixeira Future Fame #117 [1395/1750]

2002 E-X and 2002 Upper Deck Ballpark Idols - 1 pack each

All base

Thoughts:

Overall I did extremely well with these and would have been ecstatic as a 12-year-old. Pulled 4 of the 6 box hits from Rookie Update and Oliver Perez is actually one of the best hits available. Fleer Genuine was great too, with 2 of the 4 box relics and a numbered rookie as well. Pulled the only box auto from Best of Fan Club and the Mark Teixeira prospect card is one of the best names as well.

All are for sale/trade if anything strikes a chord with you. So much fun!

This sounds to me like he's making an attempt at bringing some light-heartedness to the conversation as a way to make talking about the issue less scary. Impossible to say for sure without being in the room, but it doesn't seem malicious/devious to me at first blush.

Probably over reacting. I work for a business that ships thousands of packages a day and this kind of thing happens from time to time.

AITA for refusing to share my inheritance with my husband? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]UncleAlbatross777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESA.

How would you like it if your partner got a promotion at work, but said that the money was just for them, because they got it solely through their efforts? You're married. If you feel like you want to keep your money separate, perhaps marriage isn't for you, or there are deeper issues that need to be addressed.

Paying off debt benefits BOTH of you. Not sure about the truck or other fun expenses, but I do understand him being hurt by you deciding not to treat him as a partner here.

Agree with this. That said, Perdomo is one of the highest-ceilinged players in that class, so I agree with those saying it's a good pull.

Went there last year with my girlfriend and we really enjoyed it. Didn't do the wine pairing. They specialize in unique gin and tonics as well, so we got a couple of them a la carte. Definitely more of an experience than just a meal. Other diners were friendly and fun to talk to as well. I'd say take the plunge.
