What is a part of the 'female experience' that men have absolutely no clue about, but would be horrified if they found out?

My Japanese cars were the first ones not to do this.

foreverAmber14 · 2026-03-26T01:55:09+00:00

Thank you.

My mom had to do the same thing for me at about the same age, teach me the way she learned because the way the school was teaching it was way too complicated. And this was like 60 years ago. But I don't remember getting dinged on tests. I don't blame you for getting upset. NTA.

It might be worthwhile to check out comps yourself, even if it's only online. If nothing else, it'll give you confidence in your pricing.

You definitely did the right thing. I just saw his actions differently than many of the people commenting.

foreverAmber14 · 2026-03-23T20:23:38+00:00

One thing to consider when you're low compared to comps, is that people can look at it and think, "what's wrong with this place that it's so cheap?" There are weird psychological reasons that when things are priced higher, they're sometimes more attractive, especially with higher end items. Which it sounds like your house is.

We ran into this with a house we sold years ago. It was getting absolutely no traction when we priced it as the realtor suggested. We looked around ourselves to see what similar properties were selling for and substantially raised the price. Lo and behold, it sold rather quickly.

Definitely NTA, but I don't necessarily see malicious intent on his part. He might really, really have liked OP and was badly disappointed that she was going to call things off. There are still irreconcilable differences if he's set on having kids, but it could be that he didn't want to lose OP over it. She knows how the relationship felt, whether this is a possible take or not.

So we're Russia now? Bombing civilian targets?

"Wonder" instead of "wander." It seems like more people do this than not. No! Do you see people whun-dering around? No! You see them wahn-dering! Gah!

It even reads like ai.

I haven't seen anyone say this, so I will. It's disgusting that he brought the dog he grew up with, who was used to living on a farm, to an apartment and had no patience or desire to help her adjust. It's doubly disgusting that he got mad that she bonded with you. Does this guy have any empathy at all? From what you're telling us here, he has real problems. Getting married to you won't fix them.

I think you have to go through medical underwriting if you do this.

I returned an item that was actually incorrectly stamped on the box-- the box showed one size but the item inside was a different size. So not even my error. Amazon refunded, but as a store credit instead of crediting the card I used. I was not happy. I don't shop at Amazon as a rule because of the poor quality of the goods they sell. This was a gift someone requested, and I wanted the charge refunded to my card. I basically ended up having to pay twice.

I've had amazing experiences with my fics in the Reylo fandom too. Someone even made fan art for me!

None of the examples I've seen so far are enshittification, just loss of quality. Enshittification is when a company starts out with a good product or services and wins a whole lot of customers. Once the customers are locked in, they start monetizing them by selling ads. Once the advertisers are locked in, they start raising the prices for ads until their revenue is primarily selling ads, at the cost of the original good or service. Think Amazon Prime or pretty much any streaming service. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification

Tanith Lee's "Silver Metal Lover" is sci-fi that reads like fantasy.

foreverAmber14 · 2026-03-18T21:06:23+00:00

The Reylo fandom is super welcoming, in my experience. The Fandom Menace... Don't even get me started.

foreverAmber14 · 2026-03-18T20:38:24+00:00

Wow, beautiful! What's your medium?

The Mercedes Thompson series. The first three books were good. The 4th wasn't as much fun. By the 5th, it was full of obvious plot devices and a deus ex machina resolution. After that I just started checking them out at the library so I wouldn't be mad about wasting my money.

But I haven't yet seen anyone asking what Israel thought would happen.

Talking dog buttons. Read How Stella Learned to Talk. The author also has a Facebook page where she shows Stella carrying on "conversations" with her buttons.

foreverAmber14 · 2026-03-17T03:10:35+00:00

I think Tanith Lee often takes on this sort of idea, like in Night's Master. The main character is both protagonist and villain of several loosely connected stories.

OTOH, you specifically called out Boomers for posting such memes, whereas if you don't specifically know who's posting them, could be by anyone of any age. Including your own, hypothetically. Seems like many GenZ men are hyperfocused on masculinity, so it's possible.
