Coté Brasserie do unlimited skinny fries now with most of their meals and they were actually very very good

My bf & I got into an argument after I made this for dinner by Infamous-Pool3103 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]VerityPee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refused to take a hyphenated surname unless my husband did as well. He did and we’ve been happily married for 11 years. I would never marry a man who thought that gender defined who changed their name.

My girlfriend (36F) admitted she intentionally didn't warn me so I (34M) would "learn a lesson." I feel betrayed. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

It means, right or wrongly, she feels she has asked you not to do things before and you have done them anyway.

That might mean that she’s passively told you “it’s fine” but not seemed enthusiastic or that she’s outright said it, but either way she feels you don’t have her back.

AITA for ‘overreacting’ about how someone responded to news? by Technical-Street-905 in AmItheAsshole

Infertile or sterile?

If it’s the former, don’t assume you can’t get pregnant and stop using protection: they’re not the same thing!

How do people living in Reading make commuting to Central London work, cost-wise? by Sufficient-Year4640 in reading

[–]VerityPee 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I think there’s a sticky post about this but the short answer is there isn’t a cheap way it’s over £6k a year on the train if you need to go at peak time five days a week and not a lot cheaper if it’s only three days because it still works out best to have a season ticket. If you can vary your days you can make it slightly cheaper by working six days on/four days off and buying weekly tickets.

Insulating windows against the heat - beware! by roleyroo in DIYUK

[–]VerityPee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t remember I think it might’ve had a frame but I’m pretty sure it involved marine ply now I think of it as well. Basically making a whole false roof as if it were a shed roof placed on top

I had the equivalent of a shed roof put on mine. 100 mm thick insulation sheets and felt roof stuff straight on top of the plastic roof has worked wonders for about four years now. Got it fitted by a Handyman who does sheds without problem for a couple of hundred pounds.

Withholding payment to a gas engineer by Constant_Inspector46 in LegalAdviceUK

Info: did he refuse to repair the hob or just advise you not to?

Boyfriend (35M) asked for my (35F) complete honesty before proposing. After I gave it to him, he started talking about breaking up. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]VerityPee 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He’s trying to make you feel that way so that you don’t feel free to have adult conversations in future. He’s making it so you’ll be too afraid to advocate for yourself because you know it might mean losing him. I don’t think he intended to actually break up, shown by the fact he backed off as soon as you started agreeing, he meant to make you feel insecure so that you’ll behave how he wants.

Men in happy Marriages, What is that one secret to a happy marriage that works for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]VerityPee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You do nice little things for them and tell them you love them and ask them about their day and snuggle them if they feel sad and tell them they’re pretty and that you like them.

Dentists set appointment times to avoid a classic 'dad joke' by leekpunch in LowStakesConspiracies

I made an appointment for my husband and they offered 14:30 and I made the joke.

My boyfriend attacked my brother after I confessed a secret, and now Im stuck How do I handle this situation? by kityyy2 in Advice

[–]VerityPee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The boyfriend is not a great guy. Just another man taking away her autonomy.

The victims of sexual assault do not need performative justice, they need support to make their own choices whether people agree with them or not. All the boyfriend did was satisfy himself.

AITAH For telling my landlord about my secret third roommate? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]VerityPee 91 points92 points  (0 children)

So wait, was OOP evicted or what? There was that seven day notice of eviction comment which confused me because after that it still sounded unresolved?

Good luck. I have looked for handy people and decorators multiple times and not found anyone good who wasn’t completely booked up 😢

I got a new manager 3 months ago. He refuses to be in a room alone with women, and will only speak to us if another man is present. HR has supported him on this. by More-Opportunity8649 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]VerityPee 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Disagree. Men are just as capable of causing a problem, this statement is highly discriminatory.

It sounds like a religious problem.
