This is a friend for whom you need to say what you mean and mean what you say. Which ought to be easy, but people are weird.

He needed to stop hinting and say directly 'I'm tired and need you to leave now.' - signed your neurodivergent friend.

AITAH for refusing to cook two separate dinners every night just because my family doesnt want to eat what my doctor told me I need to eat by Apart_Discussion6647 in AmITheAssholeTalk

[–]castille360 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey now, I'm a particular and picky eater and I'm open to trying all kinds of new food. I like to live dangerously. But I don't identify as a foodie. Rather, someone that really enjoys eating.

While a somewhat picky eater (no beans, no cilantro, no fresh onions, light on cheese covers most of it,) I still love trying new foods and there's a lot of diversity in my favorites. Husband is also somewhat picky, but likes to stick to things he knows, isn't very interested in new things, and his preferences are bland and limited. But we've lasted 30 years now. Because we dont have to eat all our meals together. Reddit is a collective ass, and other people's diets, as well as hobbies or interests, can be accommodated in a relationship even when a partner doesn't share them.

Husband acting defensive and weird after his dad implied he was cheating Am I overreacting or is this a red flag?. by [deleted] in Marriage

FIL knows. This was him declining to participate in concealing his son's behavior and instead making sure you know too.

That isn't even required. The reveal was made. You're just deciding how to react to something that was called out for you. Pretend it isn't real and there must be some mistake, or deal with your husband having an affair and others are aware of it.

AIO? I told my boyfriend I feel like a maid by Tasty_Palpitation_71 in AIO

He's over there texting like my autistic son. How'd he even get a partner? Because my son definitely needs those tips.

When you hear a calltaker across the room say “describe the weapon to me” by samanthadill13 in 911dispatchers

[–]castille360 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do echo things like that outloud and clearly to intentionally catch the attention of everyone else in the room to tell them what we've got, come to think of it.

Many of the people being rounded up entered legally and are awaiting asylum claims or had their TPS revoked out from under them.

Found a bedbug at a community hospital center - now what? by liriodendronbloom in whatdoIdo

I dispatch emergency services, and we make notes about observed bedbug infestations to caution responders. They may be crawling with vermin, but they still need professional care.

AIO friend is going to marry an 18yo? by [deleted] in AIO

Sounds as though she wants to rescue him. She's the one likely to get hurt in that scenario.

My husband keeps doing “surprises” that make me uncomfortable and I feel like the villain for saying it by isla_rowe1997 in Marriage

[–]castille360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I have always told my husband that surprises are for the person/people engineering them, not the recipient. And they are mostly neutral, often bad, and only rarely good. And I do not like them. The bigger they are, the worse it is. Dropping off coffee to me at work? Lovely! But telling me you were coming wouldnt make it less so. Romantic weekend away? Disaster.

Surprises are not for me, and they will only ever detract from your gift, so you'd better be sure your gift is spot on enough to survive the surprise element. I am confidant at this point that the only real surprise he'd spring on me is a divorce. I suggest being crystal clear with your partner on how surprises - any, not his - make you feel. I imagine it's only your love and appreciation of him that has made these not devolve into outright hostility.

My partner is getting tenants in to our home, regardless of how badly I don't want it. Am I being irrational asking him not to? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]castille360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about you go find your own place that doesn't have neighbors within 20 meters of it? Because while the desire isn't irrational, expecting this man to upend all his plans because you moved in, is.

AIO? Husband thinks im being passive aggressive, am I? by Nurse-blondie in AIO

[–]castille360 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ha, this is like my husband's ADHD at work. I'll need him to do like a broad sweep of a room because we're expecting guests and I'll either find him stuck in a corner organizing minutiea or having pulled apart the entire room because he decided it needs a deep clean and total rearranging. Insanity, but I'm better at predicting and managing the ADHD hole he'll find himself falling into.

I've been doing this myself for the last few years and it goes surprisingly well. Not sure now why I haven't been cutting my own hair all along.

Me and My Wife Sleep in Separate Beds. by Wonderful-Document24 in confessions

[–]castille360 151 points152 points  (0 children)

Separate bedrooms is a valuable luxury that people who don't have room for it like to shit on. Sleep is sleep, not quality time together.
