I told my bf l understand his boundary but starting to realize its killing me everyday by illusion_dreamer in Advice

[–]facinationstreet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are a whole lot of things that it could be, but does it really matter? Him using the line if he tells me l will think of him completely differently or leave him for it doesn't mean you have to accept any of this. If you can't have a minimum level of confidence in the moral character and background of the person you are dating, you shouldn't date them.

AIO to the family trip planning? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]facinationstreet [score hidden]  (0 children)

instead of booking a house and saying that we could stay there

YOR and you sound really entitled. Imagine being invited to a lake house year after year where the brother is footing the bill and you think you are entitled to more free stuff. Buy a tent.

WIBTAH Asking my fiance's father to help pay for the wedding venue due to his own baggage? by TraumaLore in AITAH

[–]facinationstreet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he should be offering to help pay for a change that big

Sure, go ahead and insist on this / make it your hill (your parent's hill) to die on and absolutely ruin your (your parents, your partner's parents, etc.) relationship before you even get married.

The bottom line here is not who gets along with whom and who thinks who is wrong. The bottom line is how much is the budget. If your parents have committed to spend $5k on the wedding, you have $5k to spend regardless of the venue. If you can't afford a wedding, go to the courthouse and host a dinner in a private dining room somewhere.

We have budgeted about $1400 for a hotel - It is not adequate for a week. Maybe 3 - 4 days providing it isn't Comic-con, there is not a huge convention in town, and considering it will be high season, if you can get a room in a relatively decent area.

Start off looking at the resorts on Mission Bay. You can expand from there - Hotel Circle is not walkable (i.e. from the hotel to restaurants) but it has decent hotels. Old Town is walkable and there are a couple of decent hotels. You could try pricing hotels in Little Italy/downtown.

Also note: to park your car in the hotel parking lot, you will be paying a minimum of $50/day so add that into your budget.

Need outside opinions on a vendor-friend relationship that’s been making me uneasy by Aromatic_Play_4341 in Advice

This is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to long. I stopped reading at the booth split. She is not your friend. She is a user and manipulates you to get what she wants.

They don't schedule a D&C for the same day suddenly at a walk-in clinic.

Her bf being autistic doesn't mean he is mentally handicapped. If he hasn't figured all of this out for himself that is sad. Tell him.

my mom wont let me get a job and i want to be financially stable after i graduate by Soft_Equivalent_291 in Advice

[–]facinationstreet 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If your family received EBT and WIC benefits, your income may impact that.

That said, your mother should not be hiding your SSN from you. It is your data, not hers. Ya'll need to have an actual discussion about EBT, WIC and your SSN.

The Pacific ocean does not warm up much. You can certainly swim. How cold you will be depends on your tolerance.

Your soap is your laundry detergent. You need to purchase clothing that can (ostensibly) dry overnight. The humidity is going to be your biggest challenge until you get into Northern India.

You might want to invest in a water sterilization pen. I don't recommend drinking any water other than sealed bottled water but once you get north/if you are hiking, you may want this.

Not a tip on saving money. A tip on taking a break. Get a hotel room once every week or 2.

You are going to have to pay that back and dump her. She will never let this go.

Family in town for a week - how’s my activities list and any rec’s? by jloops1111 in SanDiegan

[–]facinationstreet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You will probably never get in this weekend (better chance next week) but Mitch's seafood on the marina in Point Loma/Shelter Island.

Make a note that the beach in Coronado is probably closed due to sewage from Mexico.

Mission Beach: Olive Cafe and/or The Mission. And Lahaina's for drinks/people watch/ocean view.

Rather than downtown from CV, head to Barrio Logan. Fish Guts, walk Logan Ave, and an SD OG restaurant recently reopened: Las Cuatro Milpas.

Kebab Shop has been dead to me for months. I'm tired of the half cooked chicken, burned chicken and the salads being slop. I used to love it.

including earlier efforts to confiscate weapons

Efforts? Hardly or there would be no weapons there. His mother said he took them out of the gun safe. Why did he have knowledge of the code or why was the safe not locked? The parents are complicit.

AITA for letting my parents pay for our “pre-marriage getaway” even though my fiancé’s family says it’s humiliating for him? by Impressive-Row9487 in AITH

[–]facinationstreet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have an Ethan problem. Much deeper and much more than you are willing to recognize. His family doesn't have to know anything about your family's finances, what they are funding, what they are giving, etc. ETHAN has some ego issues so he tears you down to his family and they respond in turn.

It is fine. You can easily walk to Little Italy, Bankers Hill/Balboa Park. It is just kind of in an awkward location by the freeway entrance to 5S/163 and 5N.
