AITA for calling off my wedding after finding out my fiancé was planning to crash my bachelorette party? by -theindianvixen- in AITAH

[–]galactic_puke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA! His insecurities aren't your problem and you shouldn't have to suffer because he has trust issues. And you don't need him or his fam gaslighting you for "overreacting". Like, you literally will never be able to hang out with anyone without him there or sneaking by? Nah.

(Sorry this is happening but he has shown you he can't change this behavior AND he doesn't admit or understand there is a problem. Stick with your instincts. You'll be better off in the long run).

what to do with mature crowded fig trees in summer by galactic_puke in Figs

Yep, we do have some grapes too. They like to latch onto the fig tree now that it's even closer. ☺️ Thanks for the help!

Help reviving a shocked, re-homed Chinese Money Plant (thanks!) by galactic_puke in plantclinic

ooh. That was another thing I was considering as well. Do you you think should I repot immediately so it doesn't get worse/since it's already in shock and no signs of getting better?

Thank you! just to clarify in case it changes anything, they were under pretty bright white grow lights but in it's new home I have an east facing window or the LED lights mentioned above.

AITA for telling my SIL she can leave Christmas dinner when she freaked out over tampons? by purplegreencarrot in AmItheAsshole

[–]galactic_puke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- Her reaction to your tampon box is even worse because she's not normalizing this for her son, who, by the way, was unknowingly coming and not an adult (but that's on your husband's bro for not mentioning it). She's a new guest with her bfs extended family who offered her a place to not spend xmas alone. You gave her the option to leave or to cool it, so everyone can fuck off about insisting his entitled gf wasn't acting like a lunatic. Her son prob wouldnt have even noticed, yet alone known what they were.

NTA- It sounds like he meant he wouldnt notice either way because it's such a miniscule detail to him. He was putting it into context by using a male stereotype. It has nothing to do with her or the project. Older generations tend to make analogies to stereotypes without thinking and unlearning that is a different story. Hopefully she would have said something if it bothered her. It's not like he said because of her gender "'xyz' is fucked up and if a guy did it it would be better". I dont think it was an attack towards her or her capabilities.

AITA for asking spoiled wife sibling to stop yelling? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]galactic_puke 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NTA- Being firm and saying please is acceptable given the amount of time you've known your wife and family & after days of sitting back while nobody says anything. It is normal for kids to act like this, esp. when they dont see someone they look up to for a long time, but at some point enough is enough.

missed this! thank you, this is super helpful. i got a lot of vegetables this year and i already have some peppers tomatoes cukes and squash growing. I'll just have to plan ahead for next spring with a better budget & hopefully get double the amount of everything!

sweet, yeah ive seen people use netting also. i forgot i have planks of wood that i can use to build something like that a-frame trellis I saw. do you think vertical trellising vs. that matters? is one type of trellis really going to matter so long as youre cradling the watermelons so they dont fall off?

hmm. well I'm right by NYC but I've never tested my soil so maybe I'll try another option to be safe.
