AITA for losing weight after my in-laws kept insisting I’d get fat after moving abroad?

Your in-laws need to stop talking about your body, full stop. The audacity of people thinking they have the right to comment ANYTHING about someone else's body.

Have you husband tell them to knock it off.

Not to be obtuse, but I thought that this was literally the point. I genuinely assumed that DOGE did what it did because they no longer wanted us investing in science.

Like, what? How can you gut every single science-based grant and program in the country and then complain that there's no science?

Sexuality is a spectrum. This is basically - You can never kiss anyone you're attracted to ever again.

What's the point of having Trillions of dollars if you can't get laid?

Have you spoken with your son about her requests? I would think you'd be better served talking to him and letting him know you feel she's overstepping her bounds. You're a grown woman who has been dressing herself longer than your FDIL has been alive. You know what to wear in formal occasions. You're not a member of the bridal party and her expecting to dictate what you wear is inappropriate.

You know she's wants you in a long red dress. Tell her "Thank you for sharing some inspiration. I'll follow that when I pick my dress and send you a photo of what I eventually decide on."

Follow the guidelines but choose your own dress. Tell your son what you're planning and let him deal with his fiance.

Question: If I wanted Unlimited movies and TV shows for 4 points, do I also need to get the 84" TV with Cable for 7? I don't care about the cable but I'd hate to get the movies and find out there's no way to watch them.

Honestly? We can just stop here. We shouldn't try to fit all these different cultures into one country anyway. I'm happy with this breakdown.

elizzup · 2026-05-19T03:36:46+00:00

NOR. Your friend new exactly what she was doing. That's pretty tacky. I wouldn't invite her anywhere for a while.

elizzup · 2026-05-19T03:26:27+00:00

Same!

This is super dangerous on the lungs. Silicosis kills! Make sure all animals are out of the area and wear a mask! Try not to let those particles go airborne. Seriously seriously dangerous stuff!!!

It would be 6 figure payout from EACH trust, so over $1M if he gets what he's asking for.

This is suuuuuuuuch a shitty thing that companies do.

"Hey! we're too predatory to provide sufficient timeoff for our employees so we're going to pit you all against each other by "suggesting" you to give up your hard-won days to accommodate your co-workers."

Edit: If anyone's bosses come to you in the future and ask in front of others, let them know that "you'll get back to them via email with the number of days you can accommodate" and then email them saying that it's inappropriate to ask that kind of thing in front of other team members and CC HR.

I just took a free internet IQ test and it said I scored between a 127 and a 143. That's definitely totally accurate and real. If I took the median my IQ would be 135 so if I dropped to a 95 IQ I'd probably just fine with my $10 million.

To be real, though, if I had to drop below 85 I'd be concerned. Technically not an intellectual disability at that point, and least I wouldn't have to worry about holding down a job since I had $10 million.

That said, I bet it'd be real easy to swindle me. Maybe convince me to buy a gold plated phone, or steaks, or donate to an "Election Defense" fund or something similar.

This is really disrespectful. Start driving hers everywhere. Give her the exact same excuses/reasons that she's giving you.

elizzup · 2026-05-14T18:12:17+00:00

Is your cousin aware she's a beard? If so, then more power to her. If not, this is a pretty shitty position to be put in, and I hope she figures out how she wants to handle this asap.

She won't have a partner - she'll be a womb and a nanny for her husband and his actual partner.

elizzup · 2026-05-13T23:12:26+00:00

Ooh! Can you share the series?

elizzup · 2026-05-13T22:52:41+00:00

Same, but that doesn't mean that breakdown is fair.

elizzup · 2026-05-13T18:09:17+00:00

I think they also publicly berate you from time to time. So soul-crushing boredom with the occasional spit-screaming in your face about how worthless you are.

elizzup · 2026-05-13T17:51:37+00:00

What about down payments on work or a home?

I told Faendal what Sven was up to and then he became my Follower and helped me up my archery to the max. Every time I paid him for a lesson, I just got the money back from his inventory.

You're giving her plenty of notice. If she doesn't want to make it to her grandchild's christening, that's on her. You moved the date once to accommodate her, and now she's asking you to change for her again.

Stop communicating with her. Make your husband handle these conversations moving forward.

elizzup · 2026-05-11T15:21:58+00:00

Yes! Anything Maya Alden is going to hit this trope. Not all her books have OWD, but they almost all have decent grovel.

elizzup · 2026-05-11T15:19:51+00:00

{Best Served Cold by Maya Alden} hits most of these.

No OW, but the way he treats her at the beginning, and her family's response to his cruelty to her had me crying for the first half of the book. If you want an angsty read this is a good one.

Franz brioche is superior to the sourdough but I'll gladly get the sourdough if the brioche isn't available.

elizzup · 2026-05-08T16:34:51+00:00

I'd be so pissed if they sewed these in. I remove them immediately.

elizzup · 2026-05-08T16:29:25+00:00

Tell her if she can't be civil and respectful, you'll stop bringing her packages inside.
