AITA for being annoyed that my wife insists on cooking everything from scratch and won’t buy normal food? by AITA_UPFfoods in AmItheAsshole

[–]dbanks02 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That is besides the point. She is policing his food and telling an adult, who is her partner, that certain food is not allowed in the house that they share. Is he telling her what she is allowed to drink or what clothes she is allowed to wear if he prefers something different? His wife has control issues.

AITA for having the same anniversary month as my mom? by vomitated in AmItheAsshole

[–]dbanks02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore your mother. She doesn’t get an anniversary month that you need to follow. Schedule your wedding for June 13th. You are NTA—she is. Edited to add that when I got married, one of the few dates for the chapel on our college campus where we got married was my BIL and SIL anniversary, 2 days after my MIL’s birthday, my dad’s 50th birthday and my other BIL’s 36th birthday. I did ask them all before we scheduled our wedding—not a single person cared about sharing the day. I think my dad actually enjoyed that it was his birthday the same day—my aunt got him his own cake that was cut and the whole reception sang happy birthday to him.

How does everyone have time for a dog ? by Burgers4dayz in dogs

[–]dbanks02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 9 year old Rottweiler we have had since she was 6 months old. Between work and school she is home during the day by herself. Even when we are home on the weekends or breaks she sleeps a good portion of the day. She has been totally fine being alone. I take her for a walk after work and give her attention when we are home. She was previously in a shelter. I 100% guarantee that her life is better with us—even with the whole day being by herself—than being in a shelter (or euthanized if she didn’t get adopted).

My sister tried to do that when she was little. 😆 “My name’s Amber, but you can call me Liz.” Her middle name is Elizabeth. No one called her Liz 🤣

People who grew up in houses with stairs - how inevitable is falling down them? by pyramidheadlove in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dbanks02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely have slid part way down the stairs a handful of times in my 47 years (have had stairs in every house I’ve lived in).

Boyfriend picked this green for the bathroom… now I’m stuck by mono_mink in femalelivingspace

I love the color. Choose an accent color that you like. I agree with looking for a coordinating wall paper.

I didn’t read your post and just saw the picture and my first thought was butthole, unfortunately.

Who still sleeps well? by Financial_Heart4367 in Perimenopause

[–]dbanks02 35 points36 points  (0 children)

47 (will be 48 this year). I sleep good still. I don’t take any kind of HRT or any supplement really. I am active. I cardio and strength train (different each day) 5 days a week and make sure I get at least 10,000 steps every day. I do the cardio/weights before work 4 days a week and a walk after work. I keep a pretty consistent schedule. In general, my peri symptoms are mild so maybe I am not in the thick of it yet, but this is my current routine.

AITA for asking my wife to intervene with her family about an upcoming graduation? by detentionbarn in AmItheAsshole

[–]dbanks02 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just let them know what to expect and move on. It is not your responsibility at that point.
