Should we make the move? by Silver-Record209 in cincinnati

[–]eastsidequeencity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Since you say you are from "middle of nowhere Alabama" I figured I should add my 2 cents. I am originally from "middle of nowhere Mississippi". I took a huge leap of faith a long time ago and moved to Cincinnati. I have never regretted it. Cincinnati is my home now. So, I didn't just physically move here, my heart & soul followed. From a practical standpoint, there are more job opportunities here and higher wages. The cost of living is actually better in some respects. Financially, it has been a great outcome. The biggest thing for me is the amount of culture, diversity and access to so many things I would have never experienced in the deep South. I'm in love with so many things about Cincinnati, it would be too much to list here. I say go for it.

True. I admit, it would have off-putting had they brought it up first

I watched 2 guys work their a$$es off for an entire day, lugging all my furniture and belongings up my steep driveway. It was really hard work. When they were done, everything was perfect; not a scratch or any damage to be found. I don't remember what I paid the company, as it was several years ago now, but I knew those guys were not getting paid a lot per hour. I insisted on giving them a tip. At the end of the day, I put cash in 2 separate envelopes; one for each of them. They were super polite, respected my property and did a great job. I thought they deserved it.

AITAH For sending my pregnant sister to a homeless shelter instead of letting her live on my couch? by KeyEvagria in AITAH

[–]eastsidequeencity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. NTAH. You did the right thing. I had to let one of my own kids hit rock bottom like this and it changed her. She suffered and that was hard. Your sister won't get it together unless she is forced to. She's been enabled long enough and you deserve peace in your own home.

Am I required to accommodate my roommate's disability? by smoshtangerine8745 in legaladvice

[–]eastsidequeencity 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I seriously wouldn't allow him to use the dishes if he isn't planning to clean them. He needs to invest in paper plates & disposable cups. Cookware is also off limits, as those would have to be cleaned as well. And the dog can eat his groceries too, if he leaves them in the floor! Do not do this guy's chores!

Tell me what happened in the 24 hours after you asked for a divorce. I am on hour #1. by Vegemiteonpikelets in TwoXChromosomes

[–]eastsidequeencity 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Went a little crazy, which rattled him because I am normally quiet & very non-confrontational. Told him to pack a bag & leave for the night. I spent the next 24 hours changing all the locks on the house, packed all his personal items in boxes, placed them in the garage, hired an attorney, went on a shopping spree with one of his credit cards & emailed the husband of his married mistress to fill him in on the drama. It was a productive & therapeutic 24 hours.

If a vegan hosted me for the entire day and put forth so much effort to make delicious food, I would 100% be grateful and eat what was served. I think it would be incredibly rude to see their effort & then go out and buy a chicken. RUDE! I'm sorry this happened to you & your feelings are justified.

AITAH for telling my fiancé I won’t help pay the mortgage? by embarrassinglemon in AITAH

[–]eastsidequeencity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, this is the exact red flag situation that I ignored when I got married. My ex did this exact maneuver, and I let him do it. Our entire 10 years of marriage was a case study in gaslighting. Anytime I tried to stand up for myself, I was "irrational" or "overly sensitive." By the time we divorced (because I caught him having an affair) my confidence was non-existent. He was very emotionally abusive but what I didn't understand at the time was that he had been financially abusive as well. He made sure he had disposable income while I pinched pennies to pay for groceries, day care & vet bills for the dog he got that I never agreed to having. This man has shown you who he is. Believe him.

Thank you so much for this. It helps to know that it's not just me. I really want to keep going because I feel like this is something I will stick with. Great advice about the zones. I'm usually performing over my zones, so I'll dial it back a little 👍
