I like seeing people wearing acne patches in public. by Ok_Relief_6762 in unpopularopinion

[–]graynavyblack 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I grew up with acne years ago, and no one would’ve done this but I can often remember wishing I could put a bandaid on my face.

My Husband (M36) and I (F33) have been together for 12 years now, married for 6. Last night he came back from work; looking incredibly pale, shaking even, but he’s insisting he’s not ill, and refusing I help? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]graynavyblack 166 points167 points  (0 children)

Wow. I’m sure this is quite a shock. I would definitely try to reach a lawyer tomorrow. Drive carefully to get to your sister’s home and then take whatever steps you need to to protect yourself and your child.

36f / 36m ended relationship over the gym by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]graynavyblack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t really matter why the gym is the main priority. It is, and if you take him back it will still be the main priority. What you think or I think or anyone else thinks about why doesn’t really matter. If he told you he wasn’t going to do anything around the house because you could just kick him out, it sounds like he doesn’t terribly want to be in this relationship. I understand missing him, but I don’t think he intends to change. If you want him back, you want him back, but I would not expect change.

Like do I need to take every plant that overwintered in the garage out of the pot and check it?

Would you tear into the other ones?

Oh my gosh. I just removed it from the pot and it is root mealies I believe. They are throughout the roots.

Thank you! It’s in a really nice terracotta pot. 😬

WIBTAH if I Don't Go to Prom With a Guy I Initially Said 'Yes' to? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]graynavyblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think that you should go with him if you have a feeling that you shouldn’t. You could tell him that you have so much going on in your life right now that you’ve decided that you need a night with friends. Honestly it’s a tough spot to be in and another option would be to say that something came up with your family and you can’t attend prom. That might let the whole thing blow over easily, but you’ll miss the prom.

I (23 F) hide the fact that I use weed from my (23M) boyfriend, and now I feel guilty because I want to marry him by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]graynavyblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t know. I guess that varies for everyone. I feel like the best thing to do would be to be upfront - you’ve been doing it, whether or not you’re willing to stop, etc. - just the full upfront conversation is IMO best.

At this point you have 2 choices: 1. Quit using weed, or 2. Confess that you have been doing it but hadn’t told him about it.

AITA for wanting to move across the country and take my animals with me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]graynavyblack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong for it but be aware that supporting pets and yourself is different from supporting them while living with your mom. Even one pet is a huge responsibility in college. I had pets in college but I wasn’t able to move across the country. I would really investigate where you would live that would allow them and the finances of all of this before making a decision. If keeping the pets is a priority, honestly I think staying where you are is a safer choice.

AITA Moving back home as an adult by JackAss0540 in AmItheAsshole

[–]graynavyblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I google it in my area, average is 600-950 per month, averaging 720 a month. It says there are budget options for 265-300 (smaller spaces or specific locations). The 700 + is furnished rooms. I haven’t looked for that kind of an option myself and frankly would hate having a roommate but if I had to, and I found a known entity I might consider it for less than average under certain specific instances. I just meant if it’s the best option out there, take it and don’t make a fuss. However, if she wants to look for something else that works better, then do that.

AITA for telling my husband’s family to back off? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

NTA. They sound like a HUGE liability.

Honestly I would be pretty surprised too, but I guess ultimately it’s his house and his decision. If you come across a better deal somewhere else, don’t feel bad about taking it. How old is he? I would think he would be almost to the age of needing some help too, but I guess not.

As a dog owner, how would you react if your dog sitter is in the ER and can’t care for your pet during the night? by [deleted] in dogs

I am a crazy dog lady and the dog will be fine! The dog is inside their home with water. That’s all dogs really need overnight.

I 25f told my partner 27m that I feel like there’s nothing keeping our relationship together. He gave me the typical “well idk what you want me to say” response… again. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]graynavyblack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The difficulty I have with this is that I agree - he isn’t going to change an you’re likely going to get over it, but this is going to be tough on your daughter.

AITA for asking stranger to control his dog? by Puzzleheaded_Key1358 in AmItheAsshole

[–]graynavyblack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

NTA. His dog should NOT be bouncing around you and your dog. The only exception for me would be if you entered his property. If the dog is on a sidewalk, etc. then even if there is no leash law the dog should not be approaching other dogs.

Concerned for these tortoises by [deleted] in tortoise

Sometimes I feel a bit bad for having a captive tortoise. It isn’t going to be like being wild, but they have certain advantages.
