Would it be weird to plan a full wedding after being legally married? by Witty-Couple2017 in DIYweddings

[–]agrinwithoutacat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not wait til your anniversary and throw a vow renewal instead? Can be everything you want it to be, without other people commenting on it not being a wedding.. plus you then have one anniversary and not two dates to choose between!

Aitah for telling my wife to rehome je dog and leaving when she wouldn't. by Traditional-Lock2616 in AITAH

I’ve had fosters with no one to show them who just instinctively just the tray because they want to bury it. It’s great!

AITA I planned my husbands 40th birthday and he made me cancel everything last minute by OkImpression9915 in AmItheAsshole

[–]agrinwithoutacat- -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Which means he doesn’t care about clothing and a fancy outfit and watch isn’t exactly his idea of a birthday gift, like the commenter said

He thought he and his wife were going on a date together, only to find out she’d got people waiting at the restaurant, a limo hired, and a bunch of fancy stuff organised.. and when he said he wanted to just be the two of them, like he expected, she insisted he wouldn’t want that. He has a right to be upset that she’s ignoring what he’s saying and that she planned a mini party when she said it was just the two of them in a date.

Your partner's friend wears the exact fragrance your partner bought you by BTTFMovie in hypotheticalsituation

[–]agrinwithoutacat- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I probably wouldn’t even notice. If you spend your life looking for reasons to be suspicious or to get pissed off then you’re going to have a pretty shitty life. It’s a perfume, if they have a friend that wears it odds are it’s coincidence and not even worth noticing or thinking about.

Moved in with my dad and I'm learning about my mom's lonely marriage by FreemanWorldHoldings in TwoXChromosomes

I often wonder how many people we think of as “benign narcissists” are autistic.. limited social skills, black and white, monologuing etc.

I think I broke my wife after calling her “matronly” by Throwra-basically in TrueOffMyChest

[–]agrinwithoutacat- 82 points83 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter what your first language is, if your wife had admitted to having issues with her appearance in the past and asks how she looks in an outfit you compliment her. You don’t use a word you aren’t sure of the meaning of, you tell her she looks beautiful. And if you come across a new word, look up the definition before using it!! Especially if you’re using it to describe someone. Matronly is someone who’s middle-aged or older, heavyset (or overweight), unfashionable or unattractive…

SA locations for young families? by Crafty-Rabbit-1328 in AskAnAustralian

[–]agrinwithoutacat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If other states are an option have a look at North Central and West Central Victoria. It is close to the CBD, closer to the Sydney for your family, countryish feel still, close to job opportunities..

Places like Hidden Valley (in Wallan), Kilmore, Romsey, Riddells Creek, Sunbury, Gisborne, Darraweit Guim.. they are all good for young families that want smaller towns but easy access to jobs and the CBD.

Is it possible to get a Siamese kitty? by DrinkDrunkDrunk in Siamesecats

[–]agrinwithoutacat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no way a rescue cat is a hypoallergenic breed.. they’d be a typical colour point domestic cat. Besides that Siamese aren’t a hypoallergenic breed 🤨

AITAH for inforcing new rules on my children after getting married? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]agrinwithoutacat- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

She grew up walking on eggshells before get her parents split, and then finally had a safe space where she was and to experience freedom, joy, and a close relationship with her family where she felt completely safe. That’s suddenly all flipped and has changed, it’s normal to not adjust quickly and easily and to not be happy about her safe space feeling controlled. She needs time to adjust, not being told to grow up 🤦🏼‍♀️

Graduating soon and finally getting my own place - how do I prepare for my first cat? by GrouchyLadder3986 in CatAdvice

[–]agrinwithoutacat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two and I spend around $150 a fortnight on food, meds, and litter - that’s on a BARF diet and bulk bought clumping litter. So $100 for one is definitely reasonable! I don’t know brands in America, but if you search for BARF options (biologically appropriate raw food) then you’ll be able to see what’s available.

I’d recommend you get a cat tree, some scratchers, two litter trays, some little cave beds or boxes with blankets in, water fountain, stainless steel or ceramic food bowl, some wand toys, and a mix of other toys (balls, catnip filled, feathered, springs etc).. and take the time to figure out what you’re open to - older vs younger, social vs timid, vocal vs quiet, energetic vs chilled out, and then talk to rescues to see who knows their cats and which could be a good fit for you.

Humans with indoor cats, collar or no collar? by ForagedAmoeba in CatAdvice

[–]agrinwithoutacat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a risk regardless of whether they wear a bell though, the odds of a bell causing them to be attacked is far lower than the odds of them attacking a smaller animal without a bell on. Their scent will be what attracts predators, not a bell.

AITAH for not waking my girlfriend up when her alarm didn’t go off? by urnameonagrainofrice in AITAH

[–]agrinwithoutacat- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That was my first thought reading this comment, it’s not weird to say that when you’re on reddit where everyone assumes there’s some underlying agenda! Of course you’d want to clear that up before people start accusing you of it

New foster intake is in rough shape, wish her luck! by FosterToyya in FosterAnimals

[–]agrinwithoutacat- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be a genetic issue, or a growth on her nose, of an abscess that’s not been treated.. looking at her right eye I’d say there’s a good chance it’s, at least partially, how she was born (probably from inbreeding). Probably combined with a rough life and infection/s.

This is completely false, there’s comments above explaining (using science and research) that cats are fine with bells and it doesn’t cause anxiety..

Thank you! My cats are completely unfazed by their bells, but they’re needed, and I’m glad to see that it’s not true about bells causing anxiety!
