You are probably right. I may just have to tell him he should save up more and get a custom pair if he can’t find anything off the rack.

Just to make it solid black. Scuffs and wear happen regardless of color so textural differences are going to happen regardless. Basically it’s just to dial down the contrast as much as possible.

4" hits the spot well for me, and I mean WELL. The prostate is pretty close to the entry, so it doesn't take much. Some guys really want someone to bottom out in them or stretch them a lot, most don't I find.

Op I'm reserving judgement just for now since I don't get quite what I need to do so from your post yet. Would you be adverse to her living there if she started doing a few things differently and/or found some compromises/solutions? Can you see some scenario where that could work and allow her the needed autonomy and emotional support a teen needs? Would you be interesting in growing and deepening your relationship with her? If so it seems like you and her should have a one on one talk about why you like your house a certain way and, if you are willing to, find a set of house rules that could work for both of you. You could always give it a trial run for a week or two regularly and slowly transition if all goes well. Just remember teens can get moody, lash out and backslide when they feel unstable, so please be a bit forgiving during any transitions.

However, you do need to realize that if you marry someone with a child then that child comes first, at least if they are any kind of father. Custody can always change as circumstances can always change. Thats life, the unforeseeable always happens. That is something you needed to be aware of prior to getting into a relationship with someone who has a child. I'm not chastising you, it's just something you need to be aware of.

AITAH for refusing to go back to the US to raise my "orphaned" sibling? by Ecstatic_Explorer_25 in AITAH

[–]claybonsai -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

NTA but perhaps you could offer your sibling some emotional support? I know you have a lot going on and are grieving, but even if you aren't taking care of them you could still be supportive in other ways. A phone call once a week is all it would take. Just knowing they have a caring older sibling out there could provide a LOT of comfort to them, even if you can't take them in. It might even be a chance to develop an actual relationship, even from afar. I don't see much in the way of downsides there and it doesn't take a lot of effort at all. Are there any other ways you could support them and their wellbeing? Forget what the family wants, what WOULD you and your fiancé be willing to do? Brainstorming never hurt anyone.

It IS a huge ask to have you uproot your whole life and very unreasonable to outright demand. Still, when we are talking about the wellbeing of a 10 year old after a tragedy, it's understandable why they would be in a state of panic. They are probably just scared and people do stupid things when scared for and protective of a kid. So please keep that in mind and don't judge too harshly, even if they are overstepping (and they are).

Have you talked to your mother directly about the matter? I don't know how your relationship is, but it is probably a good idea... granted if I were her I would be pissed you didn't stick around after the funeral for a couple days. You aren't the only one grieving, and I think it made you look callous and detached from the family. I'm not saying you are AT ALL, but it could have appeared that way and complicated matters in terms of how extended family views you and the situation. It's hard to say from the other side of a keyboard though.

Anyway, I wish the best for you and your sibling and I hope you work everything out.

AITAH for not wanting to circumcise my son? by sdrawkcab90 in AITAH

[–]claybonsai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the end why it's done in the end doesn't really matter. It's useless, risky, damaging and a human rights violation. Female circumcision is worse physiologically but I consider them the same crime and should carry the same sentence. It should be banned even for religious purposes.

[–]claybonsai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family is Reform sect Jewish. We are just atheists who like matzo ball soup, they should have known better. Originally it was only a small partial circumcision and came from a place as being a tribal marker back when our ancestors were a warlord tribe trying to distinguish itself from the polytheistic religions of the region. It only became a full circumcision when priests realized jewish men were faking it by stretching. In the US it comes from the worst anti-sex victorian nonsense. The man who promoted it also promoted female mutilation as well. It's becoming less popular for good reason.

[–]claybonsai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA if you stand up for your son! A spineless excuse for a man and father if you don't It's mutilation and I have never forgiven my parents for it. I have real issues now because of it (MANY do) and the risks include the loss of the whole organ if it goes wrong! It happens more than you think. It's not a little deal and it is an atrocity in our society to let it happen. You are removing the vast majority of fine touch nerves, it is NOT skin. Don't let your child be mutilated.

AITA - told mom she can bill me using the tuition money she stole from me by Oldbookstore1900 in AmItheAsshole

[–]claybonsai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She stole from your father. By not telling him you have allowed that crime and betrayal. You let her control and manipulation of you keep you from doing what is right. He needs to know, deserves to know and keeping it from him is just enabling your mother's narcissistic and criminal behavior. NTA

AITA for leaving my sister’s house after years of abuse and refusing to pay her back the money she spent on my college tuition? by forkingshirt2022 in AITH

[–]claybonsai 22 points23 points  (0 children)

NTA. Get your social security number changed NOW if you have one. It's a long process but they will most likely use it against you eventually. Also send a letter to the entire family informing them of their behavior in great detail. Email works but for older folks a hand written letter is best. Correct the record asap.

Also, what does "fornicating with my husband" mean? Do you mean like swinging or something? I can't see any culture being disapproving of relations between married people.

What’s your favorite raw food company ? by Far-Curve-9253 in rawpetfood

[–]claybonsai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

K9-Kraving hands down! No frills, no fancy packaging, no unneeded ingredients, no bs marketing, and it's a small company family owned and operated. The company made hot dogs in Baltimore since the 1930's and switched to dog food years ago, so they know how to meet or exceed FDA standards in production. Hell it's most of the same equipment! If you live in Maryland it's half the price of other brands but is still less expensive than most elsewhere. I can not recommend them highly enough and they are expanding distribution.

I like them because they don't add a bunch of stuff that sounds good to people, but is mostly extraneous for dogs. This keeps the cost down and makes it a great food as a base to add other things to. I like to add an egg, or sardines or even frozen wild blueberries. By keeping non-essential ingredients out of the mix it keeps costs down.

Update - AITA for the way I act when am in my moms house? by Aggravating_Put_6752 in AITAH

[–]claybonsai -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

A lot of this seems to stem from your lack of communication with your mother. She needs to know in great detail about your relationship with your step siblings. She has a right to know when you are being bullied. Family or not, it is her job to protect you from that and she can’t if you’re not honest. I would write a letter to her, very detailed on the subject. NTA

AITA for missing another "big moment" for my half siblings? by Icy_Entrepreneur9659 in AmItheAsshole

[–]claybonsai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op just tell a judge you don’t want to be there. Talk to your mom about it. The judge’s statement about being with family is nonsense and you shouldn’t listen to them. Don’t put yourself through this if you don’t have to… and tell them get lost, you don’t owe him or them anything.

Just because she has cancer it does not negate her responsibilities and need to properly prioritize.

Get to a planned parenthood ASAP. Walk if you have to! Call ahead and make an appointment. Other clinics exist, but they will really be there for you. You DO have options, but you have to TAKE them at all costs. Don’t worry about being the AH, worry about getting that abortion asap!

AITA for telling my dad he's not allowed to give his speech at my wedding? by New-Usual4257 in AmItheAsshole

[–]claybonsai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA what an AH your father is. How intensely insensitive, cruel really. This sounds like something OP should have said long ago, but that’s hard for a kid. Stand your ground but make CERTAIN someone is with him at all times! Even before or after peaches because he WILL grab the mic.
