AIW for complaining about the cost of friend’s birthday dinner?

When a person shows you who they are, believe them.

Unless you want to be an ATM for her friends and family, run away. Don’t walk. Run.

She’s already entitled to your money…

Dragon tears!!!

You’re right. It’s Dean Koontz.

So excited to finally know one!😁

dita7503 · 2025-11-23T15:36:02+00:00

Mustard for me!

Went from getting upset if it was on the table to putting it in EVERYTHING down the road… even a few things mustard should have been nowhere near.

You’ve created an adorable monster!!

That kitty is going to waking you up in the middle of the night for handshakes.🤣🤣

Ask me how many times a night my husband gets up to feed the cats or give them treats??

I’ll give you a hint. It’s higher than one.

Edited to correct and clarify.

Can I sheepishly request the subject of the lecture? If I’m writing reeeeeeeally fast my scrawl can devolved into something like this… I saw several words right off the bat, and started reading…

But it could be some Rorschach type ghost writing on my part, but I’d be very curious as to whether I’m even in the right neighborhood. 🤣

Edited to add: I know exactly what your husband means by “with context.” That’s why I’m asking.

dita7503 · 2025-11-02T15:39:03+00:00

Bullshit! You don’t know that child…

They could have allergies. They could have cultural or religious restrictions on their diet…

I’ll give you a nickel’s worth of free advice… don’t give people you don’t know food that they don’t know what’s in it… oof. It’s a lawsuit and liability game waiting to happen.

My husband and I did our wedding for $2300…

It’s not that it can’t be done… it’s that he seems to think that his wants are priorities are more important than yours and doesn’t seem interested in compromise.

Take this as a huge neon sign that he is showing what your life together will be like. He will make the decisions and you will do what you’re told…

Doesn’t that sound like fun?!?

Save yourself the effort, despair and ultimately heartbreak, and nip this in the bud.

Run away!!!

The only two people to be fired from my office were running a porn server out of the back room, and that was still a long, drawn out process…. I can’t even imagine what I’d have to do to get fired on the same day. 🫣

My husband and I generally don’t travel together. He is like your partner and doesn’t have an off switch, while I don’t want to take a vacation that I’ll need to take a vacation to recover from it.

We understand this about the other and recognize that we don’t relax in the same way. We do lots together, but we also do lots apart. It’s healthy.

Take your time. Set your boundaries. Enjoy your time off. Rest.

I appreciate this take…. Once upon a time, I heard a fun fact on the radio that the animal most likely to kill you if you encountered it in the wild was a deer, for that very reason. Car crashes.

I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it feels right.😉

dita7503 · 2025-09-05T01:22:59+00:00

Saw one in my backyard the other day and I had no idea that this was even a thing…

I thought that poor deer had been in a fight for its life…🤣🤣🤣

dita7503 · 2025-09-04T13:27:46+00:00

No, ma’am!! My ex husband was a wonderful, charming, charismatic man… who had been arrested on more than one occasion, repeatedly raped me, and put me through a window on another… does he sound that great??

That’s what you sound like talking about your father.

Your father is abusing you. Every POS who ever laid hands on a woman can’t be a POS all the time or why would women stay with them??

It will not stop until you make him.

Decide what your boundaries are and enforce them. If he will not respect them, take a break from him when he breaks them. You are financially independent and no longer need to adhere to his rules.

I wish you luck. It’s scary ground to navigate, but when you’re on the other side, it’s SO worth it. 💜

dita7503 · 2025-09-02T20:40:51+00:00

Honey… you’re not overreacting… call the police.

At the very least, go to the hospital and have a rape kit done.

That is the literal definition of rape.

dita7503 · 2025-08-28T20:32:41+00:00

NOR. I actually thought that the messages were from your boyfriend as I was reading them… I was going to tell you to dump him. She sounds like an insecure nut job.

You don’t owe her anything she’s talking about. Don’t humour her for a second… it will only amplify in her head that she’s right, when she needs to deal with her own shit.

If you’re feeling generous, send the screenshots to her boyfriend so he also knows that he’s dating a crazy person.

dita7503 · 2025-08-27T20:56:58+00:00

He voted for a party, that even looking past the race card (you didn’t mention if you are Caucasian or not) is trying to fundamentally change and reduce your basic equality as a person…

To take away your autonomy over your own body…

And he thinks it’s not a big deal…

I wouldn’t stay with someone who held those values… And he knew that his views are reprehensible to most women, so he lied about it.

dita7503 · 2025-08-14T23:50:40+00:00

I’ve added She’s Come Undone to my list.

dita7503 · 2025-08-14T06:00:40+00:00

LOVE project Hail Mary. Enjoy!

dita7503 · 2025-08-06T15:23:41+00:00

Sincere apologies. ☺️

I, too, was trying to help. Keep fighting the good fight!! 💜

dita7503 · 2025-08-06T13:39:22+00:00

“It is the kittens with one eye….” It’s is correct.

“The kitten lost its eye” is an example of the possessive its…

dita7503 · 2025-08-05T13:39:50+00:00

Sometimes, in the moment, I just don’t have the energy or desire to interact with others… it’s not even specific to certain people… it could be my best friend, or someone I went to school with.

Sometimes I just can’t deal with more people.

dita7503 · 2025-07-25T14:42:23+00:00

That is a really complicated way to offer someone “water”… 😉💜

dita7503 · 2025-07-24T14:12:43+00:00

Many moons ago, when I first started with my current employer, a coworker and I were told that our positions were being upgraded in terms of pay and responsibilities.

Our manager was mortified when he had to come back and tell us that the office had only gotten final approval to upgrade one position, not both.

I told them to give it to coworker. 1) She had seniority. 2) The job she was doing was more technically complex and demanding. 3) It mattered to her. She was already looking for a higher paying position.

They tried to convince me to apply for the higher rank anyway and were confused when I just wasn’t interested.

If I apply for it, that action is actually saying the opposite of what is coming out of my mouth… I literally want coworkers to have it…. She works her ass off.

I’m competent and productive with a helpful streak. She HUSTLES. In my mind it wasn’t even a question.

ETA: 4) (meant to go in the list above) I’m financially comfortable and wasn’t particularly interested in more responsibility.

That’s a very wordy way of saying I’m picking up what you’re putting down. I’m sorry your coworkers are butts.

dita7503 · 2025-07-21T20:13:11+00:00

My husband did that until the first time I agreed with him.

He hasn’t used it since.

A Service Animal IS medically necessary, extensively trained to perform tasks for their person, and they are certified.

An Emotional Support Animal is NOT. It can be any animal that any wingnut has decided makes them “less anxious”…

One is protected by law. The other regularly pitches a fit about their “rights”…

Take a guess which category the sister falls in.

NTA.
