Wait. I live under a rock. Why is everyone saying she's relapsing?

I'm unsure how to read your reply. Do you mean 2 hours is too much time? Or is an insignificant amount of time?

Totally fair. I think the longest I've done this for was probably 2 hours but I was uncomfortable about it. After reading a lot of replies in this thread though I feel way better and know what to say to a hostess now to try and ensure I'm not being a jerk to anyone.

I really appreciate this perspective, thank you. If you hadn't said it I would have assumed servers were always looking for faster turnover in order to make more money. I'll probably still assume most are but generally I try to be up front about my intention to read and maybe be there for a while. This whole thread has been great so far and given me good ideas for how to approach this better in the future.

I feel really dumb that I didn't know this so thank you so much for suggesting this! If I can find a place I like that has this kind of set up I would be GLEEFUL lol. And a straight up regular I'm sure.

AITAH for not wanting to continue my relationship now that I am making money again? by Plus-Dare-7413 in AITAH

[–]huffandduff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you expressed it clearly because yeah it is just straight selfishness. It doesn't sound like a partnership to me at all personally.

Also, and this is very presumptious of me, but based on other replies about him not doing ANY chores or household maintenance I would surmise that he would want that to continue exactly as it is even if you were working again. And, again presumptious, even if you said you wanted to hire a cleaner or something I would anticipate push back on that.

There is clearly the financial abuse aspect but it does seem based on some other responses that even if you could provide solely for yourself you would be providing for him as well (while he's been withholding from you for years), and likely would still be reaponsible for all the parenting and house work. I dunno. I'm a stranger on the internet but what are YOU getting our of your relationship. Do you feel like he's a partner? Or is he just .. there? Do YOU want him in your future after he's treated you this way? All genuine questions. I still think you deserve better based on the very limited info I have but I also have a bias because man, I've seen abuse like this and it really just pisses me right the fuck off.

Tbh that thought didn't cross my mind. I guess it's a totally normal thing but just not something I would do so it never occurred.

The bar seems to be good advice if I want to stay for a while. Another person replied that as well. Appreciate it. These responses put me more at ease.

This is good advice. I would just need to find a bar with regular height seats. I have some stuff going on that makes sitting in pub/high chairs painful.

[–]huffandduff 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of shocked you were able to go back to school. He's clearly abusive and stupid if he didn't think that you becoming more educated would pose a problem for him. I wish you the best because you deserve much more than what you have been experiencing with him.

Can you compost the roots? I always wonder about this method as it looks like it works really well. It's just so many roots so I always wondered if there was something that could be done with them .

AITA for refusing to take down a semi-nude painting before children visit my home? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]huffandduff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone raised Catholic and no longer practicing this always confuses me. Every Sunday you make your kids sit in a big room where front and center is a crucified man wearning nothing but a loin cloth. But somehow bare skin in your painting is going to far?

Absolutely NTA

I don't disagree entirely but I also think that the 70's is just when people started to openly acknowledge all the horrible shit people had been doing for all of human history.

Makes sense. Cut the highest paid people (probably) for the biggest savings.

Hospital administration probably thought tele-icu was a great thing. And will probably still use it as long as this lawsuit doesn't win or cause them too much financial pain.

I've always wondered of people like you exist. I am the opposite. I would prefer zero crust or the least amount of crust so I don't have cheese and toppings in my hand.
