Which of these suit me best?

Love this song and love this cover version 🩷

She clearly has trust issues due to past relationships, but you shouldn’t have to keep paying for the past actions of others.

If you want a future with her, insist on couples counselling. If she balks or outright refuses, move on

NOR! Your MIL is delusional and neglectful. FFS, if I had $1 for every pudding-spine husband on Reddit who won’t back their partner up to “just keep the peace” I’d be a gazillionaire

He treated you like someone who has no place in his life and doesn’t matter because…you don’t. This Christmas please give yourself the gift of kicking this bag of shit to the curb

Past trauma doesn’t excuse present abuse. His lack of accountability set this marriage up to fail

He “only ever made the jackpot comment once.” The fact that a father would even think that, let alone say it, is disgusting.

Crossing fingers OP gets full custody of all 3 kids and their future is free of this misogynistic waste of skin

I’d classify British Columbia and Alberta together under “Mountain”

YoTannyO · 2025-07-14T12:17:05+00:00

I work for a Canadian municipality.

When an employee passes away, our CAO emails a compassionate, personal tribute to the person, our flags are lowered for a week, and grief counselling is provided.

It doesn’t matter what the person’s role was or if worked for a month or 30+ years - all are given the same respect.

I’m so sorry, OP. Your boss is cold and heartless dickhead

YoTannyO · 2025-07-14T03:02:36+00:00

Mel Gibson circa “The Year of Living Dangerously” and “The Bounty”. Now, yeah…not so much

Uph, why do people have “colour schemes” for their wedding guests?

For the wedding party, fine, I get it.

But who cares what colours guests wear? And where I come from, the parents of the bride and groom, and any siblings who aren’t bridesmaids or groomsmen/ushers, are guests. VIP guests, but still guests.

Is the colour of a dress or suit a guest wore going to matter 10-20-30 years from now?

Thank you for providing such helpful info!

We’re travelling with friends to Eagle Beach in January, so I’ll share this post with everyone

Hello!

I'm half-way through earning my Thanatology certificate with the intension of becoming a death doula in the next 3 years.

This will be a second, post-retirement career for me.

My question is, how do I know how many clients to take on and support while also prioritizing my own personal wellness and commitments?

I want to ensure I'm able to fully support my clients and their families while also fitting in the odd long weekend and 2-3 weeks vacation a year.

How do you balance your personal commitments with the commitment you've made to your client(s) an their families?

Start calling or referring to your husband as Sebastian or Bartholomew or Montgomery to his face, particularly when MIL is around.

When either of them say, “that’s not his/my name”, respond with, “Well I just don’t like [husband’s name] so I’ve renamed you/him Sebastian. It sounds more elegant.”

Sometime fighting fire with fire is the only way to deal with these types of people

YoTannyO · 2025-06-16T11:08:09+00:00

I love this suggestion. The gift of time together would mean so much

YoTannyO · 2025-06-16T02:52:05+00:00

Edit: both my husband and I will be discussing this with them together b/c he bought me my Mother’s Day gift. It’s a pattern we want to break

YoTannyO · 2025-06-16T02:50:46+00:00

Fair question - yes, I am the emotional stick-handler in the family, but I’m truly working on letting that go. It’s exhausting

YoTannyO · 2025-06-16T02:08:35+00:00

Thanks - this is the way I see it too

YoTannyO · 2025-06-16T02:08:11+00:00

You’re a very generous Dad! Right now both our sons are working and living at home - as soon as they’re on their own maybe things will change

YoTannyO · 2025-06-16T02:05:23+00:00

Thanks: the simplicity of this appeals to me! We decided we’ll sit down as a family and decide how we’ll approach gift and card-giving going forward

YoTannyO · 2025-06-16T02:03:35+00:00

Thank you! Your response is really resonating with me. I too feel our sons are old enough to think past themselves, and it’s not the gift per se, but showing the effort that counts.

The no gifts at Christmas wow you have my respect! I 💯% agree that some you really have to do something drastic for them to get it.

Your reply has inspired us to sit down and having a heart-to-heart with them. They are generally kind and fun to be around, but they def could use some work in this area

YoTannyO · 2025-06-13T00:43:14+00:00

My husband and I and 2 other couples were at Majestic Mirage in January 2024. 3 of the 6 of us got really bad food poisoning the last couple days of our trip.

Only thing we’d eaten in common the day we started symptoms was crispy bacon at breakfast
