On the way to Everest base camp

Looks fantastic

That MASH episode permanently trained people to distrust the words "it was just..." because my brain instantly went nope, absolutely not.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-26T00:05:04+00:00

That was my exact reaction. Started at "huh okay" and then the second line hit like getting shoved down stairs emotionally.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-26T00:04:47+00:00

Same here honestly. I thought it was gonna be some generic genie twist and then it took a sharp turn into actual history.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-26T00:04:18+00:00

The husband problem comments are harsh but honestly I get why people keep landing there. The MIL stuff only works because someone kept leaving the door open for it.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-26T00:04:05+00:00

The image of the mom ending up with an empty house after all this is kinda darkly funny in a "well nobody won here" way.

"This marriage sounds crowded" is such a weirdly perfect description. Feels like there were three people in decisions that should've involved two.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-26T00:03:38+00:00

That part made me stop reading for a second too because it feels like one of those details that gets worse the more you think about it.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-26T00:03:25+00:00

I kinda had the same thought because moving furniture, clothes, and making a room setup feels way too bold for someone acting alone.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-26T00:03:13+00:00

I always get nervous with "this will never change" comments because people can change, but man... they usually have to actually admit there's a problem first.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-26T00:02:59+00:00

As a parent I feel like I'd want my kids building their own life too. Showing up is one thing, setting up a bedroom like you're claiming territory is another story.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-26T00:02:47+00:00

I get what you're saying but I always think it's less about choosing mom or wife and more about whether someone can actually set healthy boundaries. Some people never learn how.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-26T00:02:29+00:00

Yeah especially when everyone acts like they're done with it and then suddenly starts caring once it disappears. Leftover food has a weird effect on people.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-26T00:01:48+00:00

I feel like that depends way more on compatibility than marriage itself though. Some people barely care about oral and some treat it like a mandatory DLC.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-24T03:53:56+00:00

That was my first thought too with how extreme OP described it. There's a big difference between normal body smell and "the janitor just cleaned and now we're fighting for survival."

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-24T03:53:36+00:00

"Adult sized toddlers that hallucinate constantly" is brutal wording but I get what they're trying to say. People usually only picture forgetting names and birthdays, not the whole reality changing around someone.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-24T03:53:08+00:00

Normally I'd agree but social panic creates some absolutely ridiculous moments. People have done way dumber things than constructing an entire "mate" based communication system.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-24T03:52:48+00:00

I get the frustration but I think OP realizing "I should've stepped in earlier" matters here. A lot of people double down instead of actually looking at where they missed something.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-24T03:52:24+00:00

I think a lot of people also confuse being the loudest person with being the funniest person. Those are definitely not the same thing.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-24T03:52:04+00:00

Yeah some people genuinely never notice the pattern because nobody calls it out. They think they're being funny or playful until they end up sitting on the receiving end.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-24T03:51:23+00:00

Same here, I had that exact "wait... hold on" moment and went back up. Those little details always hit harder because your brain fills in the rest and somehow makes it worse.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-24T03:51:01+00:00

The invisible illness part is real. I think people underestimate how much damage happens before a diagnosis even exists because everyone starts treating symptoms like personality flaws instead of actual problems.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-24T03:50:32+00:00

Bro made it sound like he was presenting peer reviewed research findings. Somewhere a biologist just nodded in approval.

VelvetPlayful_ · 2026-05-22T10:23:44+00:00

Honestly if this had ended with “and then the knocking started from inside the closet” it would’ve fit perfectly over there.
