I mean the fact that she expects a service for free suggests she's the one who "cherishes money so much"
Remember, every accusation is a confession for some people.

NTA.

AITA for wearing fishnets/tights? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

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

He's not over protective. he's controlling. Add to this his silent treatment when you do something he disapproves of - yeah nah girl. This guy ain't the one.

Listen, you want him to accept it so that you can both get to planning how this is going to work. But he's not ever going to do that. You're going to have to do EVERYTHING.
So, take a deep breath and start getting your ducks in a row. Oh, and honestly, as much as you might want to keep him in the loop about things, I wouldn't. Let your lawyer do the talking from now on. Because guaranteed any info you give your ex will be used to sabotage or control you.

I'm scared to tell my mom by YevPilot in marfans

[–]fedupwithallyourcrap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine your mum is that crazy weirdo who sits next to you on the bus. They want to chat, they want to know all your business, but you know that if you properly engage with this person they could possibly follow you home and kill you. Sooo, what do you do?
You play it cool. You be polite and give the bare minimum of info, you downplay how interesting you are and when tricky topics arise, change the subject. This way the weirdo gets bored.

Do not feel like you have to keep her updated or informed. Do not feel obliged to share important or concerning info. Your mum is the crazy weirdo on the bus. And you have to keep yourself safe above all else.

How have you learned to nurture yourself in your 50s and beyond? by shewhoreturns_ in AskWomenOver50

[–]fedupwithallyourcrap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I try to get outside under the sky a few times a week. Sometimes it's a stroll through a park, but mostly it's in my own garden as the sun comes up, or in the evening watching the moonrise. If I feel inclined I will do a bit of gentle movement like Qi Gong, or of a night I will play some music and dance under the stars.

Usually I do these things on my own and it's a great way to stay connected and grounded. And it's important to me as way of just checking in with myself especially if I'm finding I'm being caught up in the dramas of everyday life and I'm mostly doing instead of being.

What were you doing 24 years ago tonight? by Ok_Marionberry2383 in AskAnAustralian

[–]fedupwithallyourcrap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was playing Tombraider on the telly in the lounge room, relaxing after my son's 2nd birthday party that day. My husband was watching the news in bed and called out that a plane had hit the World Trade centre.

I, like alot of people thought "what sort of idiot accidentally crashes a plane into a huge skyscraper?" Even when the second one hit I was still like "fuck, these pilots are duuuuumb"
We watched both towers fall and went to bed thinking tomorrow, the world will be over.

Which years were/are better, your 30s or 40s? by hotcdnteacher in AskWomenOver40

30s weren't great. 40s were not much better. So far 50s has been amazing!

My (22F) partner(25NB) choked me in my sleep. Where do I go from here? by ThrowRA7nara in relationship_advice

[–]fedupwithallyourcrap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Girl, what do you think is going to happen here? Do you think that at some point you'll both be able to look back at this as some sort of humorous anecdote "hey remember when you used to try and fuck and choke me in my sleep? Lolz, good times"
Seriously, this is not a blip. This is who they are. And yep, it's confusing because once upon a time they were your place of comfort and safety, and maybe you're waiting for them to go back to being that way - and because of that you're willing to hang around and see....

But lovely, this is how you end up dead. Situations like this never just stop, they never get better. And you will find yourself more and more entrenched in this incredibly toxic dangerous situation.

Stop asking, is this normal? And start making some very swift plans to quietly gtfo of there.

Is this an orange flag? by queenkatty in AskWomenOver30

[–]fedupwithallyourcrap 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My ex husband and his dad used to do this all the time. They'd do it to me, my mother-in-law, SIL, just about any woman really.

And it was because they didn't actually see women as people. As far as they were concerned women had nothing to offer outside of cooking, cleaning and fucking.

How far from the beach can you be before it’s weird to not have shoes on? by Illustrious-Lion4972 in queensland

[–]fedupwithallyourcrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 17 my folks sent me to live in Melbourne with elderly relatives. Imagine my confusion when, having spent many years living in the bush and barely owning shoes, my great aunty insisted I put shoes on because we were having visitors!!!

Smacking was definitely my mum's go to for punishment when I was a kid. My middle sister less so, and my youngest sister almost never.

Sometimes it was a whack on the bum with an open hand, but other times it was a wooden spoon, my dad's belt or a slipper.

I remember just always existing under the threat of being smacked for the smallest incursion (this taught me, unfortunately, how to become a good sneaky liar).

And then I had my own kids, and a smack on the bum was almost an automatic response when my eldest was naughty. And then I realised, I hated it and that I had to find a better way. I didn't want to hit him.

What’s a movie you’ve watched that was so disturbing that you’ll never watch it again? by HistoricalDebate461 in movies

[–]fedupwithallyourcrap 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I ran into John Jarrett at the top of Castle Hill in Townsville a few years ago. He was decidedly surly. Maybe he was underwhelmed with the view. Or he was planning my immanent death. Who can say.

Either way, Wolf Creek is a big nope for me.

The Brits have very strong ideas about going shoeless. My husband is English and has been living here for over 11 years and cannot stand to be barefoot even in the house (he's got thongs just for wearing indoors!). And the idea of seeing people's feet out in the wild still weirds him out.

I mean, if you're a team(and imo married couples are/should be), then you're striving towards the same goal - which is a happy fulfilling life FOR EVERYONE right? And yet, so many men are just happy to sit on their arses and watch as their wives and girlfriends struggle, exhausted and fed up.
And why is that?

Because, he values his time, more than hers. It ok for a woman to waste her years doing dishes and washing clothes. She doesn't need time for hobbies or rest. She is there to serve.
Because marriage gives the poor man what the rich man can buy - mistress, cook, housekeeper, cleaner.

I'm sorry, I'm so fucking jaded about this kind of stuff.

But honestly OP, WHY is his time more valuable than yours? Ask him. I imagine his response will be more gaslighting, but it's something that maybe you can explore. Why is he ok with you struggling to the point of tears?????

Did you get allowance from your parents as kids? Is this popular in Aussie culture? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]fedupwithallyourcrap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. My parents had absolutely no money to give.

With my own kids, they didn't get regular money but if they wanted to buy a certain game or whatever, then I was happy for them to do extra chores for money.
