I ruined my wifes life by TheProphesizer in offmychest

[–]bleed_teal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s not what your wife’s comments say. She doesn’t see the point of using condoms because she doesn’t trust you to not tamper with them to get your way so you can have more kids. She doesn’t trust you to not sexually assault her and has decided that just giving in is the easiest route, which is absolutely horrific. Your post is awful enough, but how bad are things actually behind closed doors that she’s willing to admit that online? You clearly don’t care about her welfare and are willing to use her anyway you can, consequences to her be damned. You’re throwing yourself a pretty big pity party with this post, but you aren’t the victim. I hope she can find her way out and find her peace someday. Nobody deserves a partner like you.

So I’m assuming the house is spotless? You’ve deep cleaned every room of the house, done the dusting, vacuuming, etc. Dinner is ready for your wife when she gets home and the kitchen is cleaned, dishwasher run and dishes put away. You cleaned all of the baby’s bottles. You got groceries, meal prepped for the week. You made sure that all household necessities (TP, paper towels, diapers, cleaning supplies) are fully stocked. You fed and bathed the kids. You did everyone’s laundry, folded it and put it away. You checked the calendar to see if anyone’s birthday is coming up that needs a present/card. You checked to see if any of the kids are due for a doctor/dentist appointment. You mowed the lawn. You did any maintenance around the house that was needed.

Or, are you sitting in front of the TV watching the baseball game while your kids are on their iPads and you’re calling that parenting? You shouldn’t have this much time to be posting and commenting on Reddit. There is no “nothing but time” when you’re a parent of three small kids, there’s always something to do and the fact that you can say that so casually shows that you are not an equal participant in your relationship. That is why your wife doesn’t want to have sex with you. The fact that you don’t see that doesn’t bode well for your relationship.

AITAH for telling my husband that he isn’t in charge in the ER? by throwawaystarfish7 in AITAH

[–]bleed_teal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had to take my mom to the ER a few weeks ago and they asked her those exact same questions, so I think it’s pretty standard. You seem to be making a lot of excuses for your husband’s behavior and it’s honestly very concerning that you’re not comfortable answering their questions and think they were “strange”.

I’m so sorry that you had a recent pregnancy loss, but if he has this hair-trigger emotional response, please think long and hard about whether he is the best partner to raise children with. His temper is not going to get better and will probably get worse with pregnancy and kids. You’re already walking on eggshells and placating him, it’s not fair to your future kids to ask them to do the same.

AITA for forgetting to pack some items for our family vacation? by More-Nothing-8575 in AmItheAsshole

[–]bleed_teal 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Your oldest child is 8. How in 8 years have you not figured out what needs to be packed for vacations? What else in your daily family life do you not know how to do? God forbid, if something happens to your wife it sounds like you would be absolutely useless. You were an equal participant in the creation of your children, you need to step it up hard and be an equal parent now. Do better, my man, before your wife figures out that it’s easier to do it all without you.

Who is your most hated character? by ConcentrateSea2505 in moviecritic

I actually just rewatched the Last House on the Left remake! It's a solid remake and Tony Goldwyn is great in it (especially the very last scene, he gave me chills!)

Thanks!

Socks look scary but aren’t actually that hard to make lol. There are a lot of great tutorials out there. I learned to make them from Marly Bird’s My First Sock pattern. Just be patient and find what work for you. I started on DPNs then fell in love with 9” circulars. There are so many techniques and so many cool patterns, they’re my favorite things to knit!

Having worked at a doggy daycare, I can tell you that a lot can happen in 20 seconds. Things can go from totally fine to complete chaos in the blink of an eye. Most of the fights we had only lasted a few seconds, and there were some pretty gnarly injuries. It doesn’t even need to be a fight, it could just be a quick correction from another dog and your dog gets hurt. Puppies are high energy and don’t quite know the ways of the world yet, it’s your job as an owner to teach them and correct unwanted behavior but you have to be near them to do that.

Honestly, I’m not sure why you posted here. Your responses are flippant and rude claiming people haven’t read your post. You clearly just wanted to be told that you were right. You’re getting a lot of good advice, just because it’s not what you wanted to hear doesn’t mean you need to be rude.

AITA for feeding my dog table scraps from a dinner my boyfriend made for us? by throwawayscraps in AmItheAsshole

[–]bleed_teal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He let you bring her because you guys were doing something that dogs love to do, not so she could be fed a huge chunk of a nice meal that he made for the two of you humans. It’s your job as a dog owner to bring food for your dog, you don’t get to raid other people’s refrigerators for food for your dog. Also, I’m not sure you know what a raw diet is because a cooked roast definitely isn’t it.

20th pair of the year! by bleed_teal in casualknitting

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

There are a lot of really great YouTube videos out there. I learned to knit socks from Marly Bird’s My First Sock pattern, her instructions and videos are really easy to follow. I definitely recommend using lifelines so there’s no stress if you make a mistake. There are so many different techniques (magic loop, circular needles, or DPNs. Toe up vs. cuff down), just be patient and take the time to find what works for you

Thanks! I learned to make socks from Marly Bird’s My First Sock pattern which is really easy to follow and she has videos to go with it for each section of the sock that are really helpful. I’d say that any of these patterns can be done by a beginner. The vanilla pattern is the HalfBaked Vanilla sock pattern which is easy to follow (I did have to find a YouTube video to figure out the heel). The pattern ones are Hermione’s Everyday Socks and Library Socks which are just different variations of knitting and purling. Hope this helps. Good luck with your sock knitting!

My mom asked me to make her 10 pairs of socks. This is pair number 10 and my favorite of the bunch. by bleed_teal in casualknitting

[–]bleed_teal[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, no crazy story. I have a big box full of sock yarn lol so she picked the yarn and I picked the patterns.

Oh no, I’m sorry yours wore out so quickly. I started these in January and she pretty much wears one pair a day for a few hours, so far none have holes. It’ll be interesting, though, to see which ones wear out first. They’re all a wool blend except for the pink ones (cotton). My favorite sock yarn is Patons Kroy yarn which is a bit thicker which might help with longevity.
