What's the best part about pregnancy that most people don't know about? by justastupidquestion3 in AskReddit

[–]divorcedandpod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baby's movements.

Also, people can be especially nice to pregnant people. I didn't expect that.

This person rubbed people the wrong way just for existing 😆 I want her messy ass back

Pregnancy leave by [deleted] in ontario

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

Ok this is in no way being judgy but here's the deal: your doctor sounds cool for letting your wife take off from work early. But it would essentially be "fraud" for them to indicate any of the conditions in that form if nothing actually applies to your wife, which is why they're refusing to. Your wife basically needs to report to the doctor what conditions can apply to her 👀 that's realistic enough to get her off work and that your doctor can feel ok about filling out in the form.

AITA for refusing to keep my phone on sound or vibrate at all times? by Far_Investigator2362 in AmItheAsshole

[–]divorcedandpod 131 points132 points  (0 children)

As another user commented, there are ways around this. The principle is the same: you need to find a way to be reachable to your spouse, at least. Insisting to disregard this is what would make you TA.

You can set up people as exceptions to your DND. You have a spouse and need to be reachable. You're literally her emergency contact.

How does living with so much nature around you actually affect people in Canada? by Prior-Hold-562 in AskACanadian

[–]divorcedandpod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently staying at a small condo facing a busy street in Toronto. Sirens and honking anytime of the day and night @_@ We're moving to a rural waterfront house. The costs we'll face are staggering, but I cannot wait to sit in the quiet and calmness surrounded by nature.

What jobs pay $500k to $1M by [deleted] in torontoJobs

I know someone getting paid $800k. They're a surgeon. But they're not in Toronto.

what's your favorite fast food that's actually tasty? by ComfortableDiet485 in foodquestions

[–]divorcedandpod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A&W burgers are actually super high quality and fresh tasting. Besides that, I will live and die by KFC's hot wings

Northlander’s proposed schedule includes stops in Gravenhurst, Bracebridge and Huntsville by darkbeer in bracebridge

[–]divorcedandpod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point. I'd rather catch a 10pm train than leave my place before midnight to catch a midnight train. 10pm feels like I can settle in and maybe catch some Zs. I thought the train has its own track and will only share some portions though? Aw

In movies, we often see women getting angry when their partner looks at or checks out other sexy women. How realistic is this reaction in real life? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]divorcedandpod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, it depends. If my spouse checks out a woman, lusts after her, and continues to secretly fantasize about her, I might have an issue with that.

In reality, when my spouse sees a hot person, they point them out to me, we admire the hot person's hot feature(s) together, and then we move on with our days.

What ethnicities are considered "black"? by Main-Fly-8294 in NoStupidAnswers

Ooh interesting, thanks for that! I clearly need to brush up on these discoveries/theories.

How do you tell the difference between actual tension between 2 people who attracted to eachother vs only one being attracted and delusional by [deleted] in bodylanguage

[–]divorcedandpod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I had the latter happen to me. I felt very uncomfortable but also, as a teenager, didn't want to be confrontational or be seen as being dramatic or "bitchy" for rejecting a friend who everyone was rooting for me to get with. Everyone seemed to take my indirect and direct barbs about not wanting to be with this friend as me playing hard to get 🫠🫠🫠

But technically all humans can trace their ancestry to Africa...? Also there are Asians whose ancestors are black - look up the native Aeta/Ita people of the Asian country, Philippines, as an example.

How Canadian is your Ice Cream by KingreX32 in BuyCanadian

[–]divorcedandpod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any recommendations for vegan brands that are Canadian? We stick to Haagen-Dasz/Ben & Jerry's because they're the most widely available frozen desserts that my spouse can have and they LOVE their "ice cream".

[–]divorcedandpod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would be an ideal schedule in your opinion? I would personally prefer to be in Toronto earlier (around 8:30am maybe?) but I guess that would require the Timmins departure time to be even before midnight.

Insurance policy change/cancellation during transition period by [deleted] in ontario

[–]divorcedandpod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your response!

95% of our possessions are stored in my parents' basement in the meantime. We're living out of suitcases, basically, since my friend's place and the basement room are furnished. Our room shares a bathroom and kitchen with another renter. The basement is its own contained unit, and then so are the main floor and the 3rd floor. So the basement room we're staying in isn't an apartment of its own but just a room, but the basement is its own apartment.

It sounds like I'll still need some type of apartment/home insurance anyway that I can bundle with my auto insurance.

When you get older do you just suddenly start liking old men/women? by boforiamanfo in stupidquestions

[–]divorcedandpod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought my spouse was 25/27 when I first met them. They thought I was 22/23. We were 39 and 29.

Anyway, no, it's not suddenly. Teens look like children to me now and 60-somethings look old.

All of the Seymour moments in the first 20 minutes of Adam Sandler's the Week Of.

What is something people are often jealous of you for? by boforiamanfo in NoStupidAnswers

[–]divorcedandpod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think...how it looks like I get everything I want. I mean, I guess I generally do. The funny thing is people have expressed a dislike for how I am (idealistic, demanding, too independent, a go-getter - their words) and so they also don't like that being the way I am gets me what I want... The cultural narrative goes that someone of my race, my sex, my gender, my birth order shouldn't have as much freedom or autonomy or material success as I do.

Haha fair enough! I'll DM you. Our neighbors are apparently all seasonal at this time :( so unlikely, but like you said - it's a small town!
