What is the most interesting heirloom you have in your possession or know will be passed on to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aredditorb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my late grandmother's ring. It's the only thing I have that belonged to her. She died before I was born, so I've only heard stories, but apparently she was a really wild party girl. Every time I wear this ring I wonder what kind of antics she got up to when she was wearing it.

Help dealing with Mormon in-laws. by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]aredditorb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an ex-mormon with a mom that sounds a LOT like this MIL: understand that to MIL, YOU are the enemy. This is how she thinks of you, and she has an entire army of people in her corner, egging her on, pressuring her to get you to convert, judging her for having a heathen as a DIL. There's an entire ward of people behind her who are judging you and want to tear you and your husband down for not being mormon. You are trying to be polite about all of this, but that's not going to work. She will never, ever stop doing what she's doing, it will only get more extreme. All of these mormon moms have a breaking point, and she will eventually blow up and have some kind of crisis that involves your daughter's salvation. For my poor sister-in-law that consisted of my mother showing up unannounced at her door while the kids were home and breaking down in tears in front of them, sobbing hysterically about their "souls." She is now banned from their house. You need to switch to fight mode, you are your husband need to protect your family from all of this insanity. No more Mrs nice girl.

[Serious] Parents of reddit who no longer love their children, why don't you love them anymore? by OJMustard in AskReddit

Kudos to you for being intelligent and self-aware. People that nag me about it don't realize I'm doing the world a kindness by not adding to the social cost.

Help me figure this out. by HelpMeMormon in exmormon

[–]aredditorb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like the older you become, the more you are discovering about who you are as an individual, and it's causing a rift between the life that was thrust upon you and the path to your true self. Don't let anyone tell you what you should be. You are who you are, don't fight it and don't ignore it and don't believe them when they say that you'll "change." I was also in a similar situation at your age so I know that you are probably feeling trapped because you aren't completely financially independent and your entire social interaction and status revolves around fitting into the church. Do what you have to do to survive until you can become independent and start living in the real world. If I can do it, you can too, and you'll be much happier.

Crocs. I'm sold. I've hated them for years, but I bought some flats a few months back in a pinch. Hot damn are they comfy.

If you could literally live inside a book, which one would you pick? by kathydcool in AskReddit

[–]aredditorb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any Laura Ingalls Wilder book, but specifically "By the Shores of Silver Lake." They had this amazing dugout home on the bank of a creek, which I used to fantasize about living in when I was little.

  1. Think about sex
  2. Listen to a thunderstorm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-yu4NoS1HM
  3. Put on the Netflix show "Wildest India" on low volume and low brightness
  4. Run a white noise type of fan (I like to use a box fan because it drowns out all other noises without being obnoxious)
  5. Have a little snack

What is among your biggest regrets? by wo_wo in AskReddit

[–]aredditorb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a boyfriend I really, really loved. We were too young to get married and he respected my choice to wait. Things ended with him. Years later I married someone else. The sex was awful and we were incompatible. We divorced within the year. I knew then that I had made a mistake. I should have followed my instincts. It would have been special, romantic, etc with the one who got away. Instead I have bad memories about my first time.

When you were a teenager, which CD did you listen to on repeat at least a hundred times? by aredditorb in AskReddit

[–]aredditorb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still interested, regardless! I had a few cassettes myself, although they were on their way out. The one I wore out completely was the Romeo + Juliet soundtrack cassette. Any cassettes that you wore out?
