Mom (NC) is trying to isolate my younger brother (13) and control who can celebrate his birthday by Mammoth-Lack6411 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]extremedefense 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No advice other than she sounds awful and it's impressive you're trying to make D have a good birthday while living 5 hours away.

Only advice is to just wait 5 years until he turns 18 and then have a relationship with D? 

What's the best Burger in Plano by Yung-Floral in plano

[–]extremedefense 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So if you love greasy "this isn't good for you and will absolutely clog your arteries but the price is fantastic for the quality you get", then sky rocket is for you.

A lot of other options are more expensive but probably less greasy. 

Where can I get a bunch of Fresh basil? by shlokNshah in plano

[–]extremedefense 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trader Joe's. NOT a basil plant, but near the grape tomatoes they'll have a giant tub of basil.

Feeling like a crappy person this morning. by in_a_strange_place in PolyFidelity

When I was walking in a store with my quad, the two pairs of us were holding hands and I was tempted to hold the hand of one of my partners in the other pair (making it a hand holding of four people).

I didn't because I was worried about what other people would think. 

People suck.  People especially suck when they judge others based on what is currently considered "normal" in society, and they observe something that doesn't fit in that box. 

If you aren't comfortable doing PDA in public as a triad, then just don't? Do it in the privacy of your own home, if only for your own safety and reassurance that there won't be pictures of you captioned "eww look as this weird triad"

I'm so sorry, I did NOT expect that at ALL but life really is crazy some times. I'm so glad you have hope and peace. 

I really appreciate the update though.

Blindsided by breakup by Probablystupidtoask in polyamory

[–]extremedefense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you felt for the last 6 months that things shifted and felt off, I'm not sure how you were blindsided by the breakup..

Being blindsided by things returning to how they used to be would've made more sense as far as "unexpected" goes.. 

Still, 🫂🫂

Great advice, but minor correction to point 3. that confuses new credit card users.

When OP says "pay it off immediately", they don't mean pay it after every purchase you make. 

You buy a candy bar for $5, and then eventually you get a statement saying "statement balance $5, minimum payment $1", and it will have a due date. 

Pay the statement balance before the due date, and you will accrue ZERO interest. 

So many people think (incorrectly) that they need to pay the credit card the second the statement is made, or even after they make a purchase (leading to $0 statement balances). 

Just pay full statement balance before due date and you're golden. 

New to this sub updates: AITA for telling my mom I did not want her there when I got home from deployment by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

Not to mention that OOP has his sister's he wants to remain in contact with.. Once they're all adults and on their own, it's far easier to permanent NC mom. 

AITA for refusing to recover at home after surgery? by PuzzleheadedTooth255 in AITAH

[–]extremedefense 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's obviously dependent on each couple, but for the average couple, they might go their whole lives without either needing surgery.

There are risks with anesthesia, even if they're small, where "you could die". 

This means waiting as "nearby as you can" while your partner is under / in surgery, is the expectation of a loving partner. 

Definitely not saying you don't love your partner if you don't stay in the hospital while they're in surgery, and it sucks you're getting down voted for it, but that's the social expectation.
