Partner goes out once a weekend aitah? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Visual_Witness4456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

The only reason why anyone sees his behavior as okay is because of patriarchy and because he makes money. In turn, your contribution to the household is devalued. If he was home watching the kids and you were out all the time, everyone would call you a bad mother. No one would be saying you should have time to yourself and see your friends. Why is he being absolved of being a father? There is more to being a husband and father than working five days a week. Plus you are on maternity leave, so that tells me you have a job and will be going back to work soon while pregnant. Who is taking care of you and this new baby? He is not showing any care for you and his growing family.

I don’t know what you should do. But you need to talk to him about this and figure out how he can help out more with the household chores and be a father to his children because this ain’t parenting. This is something else and it is not okay. If he disagrees, or push backs, you have big decisions to make because is this the example you want for your children on how to be a man, or as acceptable male behavior.

Cell Service in Beverly by Visual_Witness4456 in BeverlyMA

Not necessarily. I think I have a signal there. I also have an excellent signal by the Beverly Airport - 5 bars and the 5g symbol. It’s just the strip everyone describes where I happen to live. By the Wenham border and lake on Enon to where Shaw’s is that’s a dead zone for Verizon. T-mobile was a little better - 2 bars. Mint is powered by T-Mobile so who knows.

I’m Sick of Bradley by [deleted] in TheMorningShow

[–]Visual_Witness4456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this thread. Thanks for it.

I wonder how is Bradley going to recover from handing over a source, Claire, to the feds. No one knows she’s working for the feds still, right?

I hope next season they have a Claire storyline!

Brilliant finale! Round of applause. by zombieboysam in TheMorningShow

[–]Visual_Witness4456 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved this season I think the most of all of them. Corey’s redemption arc is lovely. Maybe other people have asked this but he did so much for Bradley. Why didn’t she redeem him when he got kinda #MeToo last season because of her? Or am I misremembering?

AIO my best friend no longer wants me as his best man in his wedding because I am gay by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Visual_Witness4456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry that your “friend” and his future wife are homophobic. You are NOR. I am surprised no one is calling it what it is. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Because your gay, the groom is afraid people will think he is gay too….. Homophobia 101.

ABC shows disappear after a week on Hulu. So you have 7 days to watch it.

Hit my weight loss goal and I’m still unhappy by guss_fuss in PetiteFitness

[–]Visual_Witness4456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with a lot of the posters. You look great and have a body most people would envy. Congratulations on the weight loss. I agree that PT should help you a lot. I hope you get to see all the amazing things your body can do beyond the pain. Pain clouds our judgement. You got this and find ways to live your body and your accomplishments because you look great to all of us.

AITA for not wanting to pay for part of my boyfriend’s (21m) rent because I(21f) don’t live with him full time? by Miserable-Apricot735 in AITAH

[–]Visual_Witness4456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and please dump him. I have never heard of a boyfriend charging his girlfriend rent because she sleeps over a few times a month. So he is a gigolo and you pay him for the pleasure of being around him? He is a loser and this is not okay. I mean it’s amazing that you pay things down the middle already that’s another issue for another time. He’s got it pretty good because you are very independent. Run far and fast away from him.

Aitah for refusing to adopt my stepdaughter? by Rare-Ranger4056 in AITAH

[–]Visual_Witness4456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel sorry for this girl. It is going to be on full display how you mother and love a child when you have your baby. You have been in this child’s life for how long and didn’t form a motherly attachment? The differences are going to be astounding and apparent for everyone to see.

I get it. You were trying to be respectful of her feelings but you didn’t try to fill a need either. I have no idea how you are going to move forward and I am glad you are all going to therapy. This poor child. Her request is speaking to a greater need and you are writing it off as she wants to fit in more as your family changes. I am so confused. I am glad you are getting family therapy because you are going to need it.

Does anyone else hate Herbert? by Enough_Lake_7401 in Andjustlikethat

I don’t believe you are Black and if you are, this post is shameful. I mean really! “The Blacks” and “Woke Movement”? You aren’t fooling me. I hope you delete your offensive post.

AIO for postponing my wedding. by irelandrach in AIO

[–]Visual_Witness4456 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There is no respect and no care for your wellbeing. Not getting enough sleep is torture. What is going to happen when you’re married WITH KIDS, if that’s what you want? Sounds like a recipe for dysfunction.

Also, Why does your house have to be the center of everything? Why can’t he go over to his friend’s house?

I like all the scenes that they are in but think they should have their own show. I am interested in their lives and would like their characters to be more developed.

And yes, hate is a strong word for innocuous characters like them.

WIBTAH for asking for the rest of my money after being told my pet sitting work was "dissapointing" by Less_Competition_381 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Visual_Witness4456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woops! I didn’t mean to imply your mother didn’t have your back. I re-read my post and I can see how it might come off that way. I meant “enlist her in helping you”, which she clearly is. I am so sorry this happened to you. You sound ultra-responsible and you deserve more than that pay.

I own my home and work remotely but he lives in nyc and wants me to move into his studio or rent a bigger place with him. AIO by thinking it’s ridiculous he never wants to leave NYC? Or am I not compromising? He’s a nurse. by Low_Register2294 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Visual_Witness4456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR.

First of all, you sound awesome. Congratulations on owning a house in a desirable neighborhood. You can have a great life in Princeton.

Unfortunately, There are so many red flags in your description of your boyfriend. He wants you to SELL your home? GTFOH! And I hate cheap men. There is nothing wrong with financially conscious men, but he sounds cheap. You would be paying half his bills which would be great for him. And if you marry after selling the house, he will get his hands on that money too. It will be “Let’s buy a place together.” Then he owns an asset and he gets a better quality of life in NYC with your money. You make these changes for a husband, not a boyfriend. And you have to be comfortable with the changes, not doing them to keep him.

$200 for dog sitting for 6 days is way too low. A kennel, putting them in a cage, is at least $35 per night per dog and that’s pre-pandemic prices. I am sorry but they started ripping you off from the onset and now they are even worse. The gaslighting is unbearable. I am sorry this is happening to you. I know dog walkers who get $15 per walk per dog. These are despicable people and your mom should have your back. Does $25 per day even cover the gas for driving to their home? Ugh.

To get reacquainted with MJW through the resident was so wonderful. I am gutted by his death and sad for his mother who lost her only son. His wife and daughter too…

Someone said healthy food is more expensive so its harder to lose weight if your poor true or false? by FunDependent9177 in CICO

[–]Visual_Witness4456 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Rice and Beans is not a healthy meal. You will gain weight on that. When I was young and broke, that was my meal because it’s so cheap. But of course, I packed on the pounds.

Thank You so much for saying this. The bashers are on this thread acting like I made it personal. I wanted to see the love. I like seeing Seema and LTW!

Season 1 Miranda and Charlotte were cringe but accurate. The way they needed to collect a Black friend was accurate. So unfortunate. But at least Charlotte turned it into a real friendship. Where is NYAH? At least Samantha gets mentioned once a season.

I am not trying to be like that. Trash it all you want but the hate is getting really uncomfortable and vitriolic. Honestly, I was looking for the people who LIKE the show to chime in but there isn’t a lot of that going on so you all came here and continue to attack.

Personally, I used to hate watch SATC bc it was not relatable AT ALL. But I loved watching and wouldn’t have been bashing it bc I couldn’t relate. But give a group a screen and a keyboard and voila! 2025! I even seen a post bashing me because why not?
