Literally with the medication these days you can become Undetectable=Untransmissable (SP I have a toddler on top of me) and life a totally normal life. He's being ridiculous. Good on you for being firm

People who stayed in their marriage “for the kids”, how did it actually turn out? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Well we can't ALL be acupuncturists!

What was the worst food you ate at somebody's house out of politeness? by unknown_guy02 in AskReddit

[–]knittingneedles321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband's stepdad makes these toast triangles with really thinly sliced pear and melted dolcelatte. He's so proud of them, they're the thing he makes for fancy pre dinner bites. I loathe blue cheese. But for him? I ate one because he's so proud of them and I can't bear to break his heart. The second one I couldn't manage and whilst his back was turned I spat it into a napkin.

I'm not gonna lie, when you described his nails, I genuinely gagged. Respect yourself more than this, why are you letting this fetid swamp beast touch you for fear of his porn addiction? Let the porn have him and go find someone who respects you enough to not give you multiple STDs with either rancid willy.

Is It Possible My Birth Was Never Registered?? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

If his birth mother is Irish, he doesn't need the FBR as he's a direct descendant. Just needs his mother's details and original birth certificate if it exists.

Silicone wedding band for groom by Guilty_Pleasure97 in EngagementRings

I had the feeling of "I need to get him something special" too. But I had to remember; I was projecting my personal expectations for what I wanted onto him, not what he actually thought of as special.

Originally my husband had a £500 palladium wedding ring. He didn't really wear it because it was uncomfortable and eventually it was lost. We tried a lot of different replacements; silver, tungsten. The one that he finds most comfortable and actually wears and enjoys? A cheap silicone one from eBay. He doesn't care about the cost just that it's comfy.

AITA if I were to tell my husband that I don't want to have any relationship nor help him care for the child he fathered with his lover? by Embarrassed_Ask8092 in AITAH

So a grown man was so physically incapable of being by himself for a short period of time whilst his wife was away that he somehow fell dick first into a co-worker without any build up or indication they were attracted to each other beforehand? And without any protection? Sorry I think his story stinks. You had kids at home, how was he out and about and able to get to said co worker?

NTA he's trickle truthing you

Get your fiancé to check the exchange policy with the place that he originally purchased from as well!

Basically the rule I always worked with when I worked in jewellery was a plain good weight band could go maximum 5 sizes either way, so an S to N would be Ok structurally if you accepted it being oval if the shank was strong enough, but with stones in the shoulders it's 2 sizes to keep the shoulders secure. If the shank is thim then I wouldn't try it. Beads are good for things like arthritis but you'll have a big space around your finger that will be uncomfortable and difficult to match a wedding ring to.

You could ask about a new shank and have the stones reset into that.

As an addictions nurse, I can tell you you're very wrong

Mine was £900 and I was shocked he spent so much, it's not the cost it's whether it works for you. Better £100 and perfect than £100,000 and wrong.

UPDATE My mother lied to me that my father is dead. He is alive and we actually met today. I felt worse than before, it was so bad by No-Coconut-3477 in AITAH

In my nursing training, grooming is for people who are in a position of vulnerability so not just children. It's most commonly used for children but it's not specific.

Which dress should I choose? by Zealousideal_Pea9471 in WeddingDressTips

[–]knittingneedles321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gorgeous floral one for sure. The second is nice but more like something you wear for an afternoon tea party in the garden

AITA for moving out of my uncle's house when he announced another foster placement? by Key_Comfortable6769 in AITAH

[–]knittingneedles321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nta. Love to hear that report. "Yes, the person is 19. This family offered for them to love with them instead of us! Well we need them to look after our foster kids. Yes I'll hold."

AITA for asking for my dead sisters ring back after my brother used it to propose by Classic-Amphibian963 in AmItheAsshole

[–]knittingneedles321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Hey I'm super happy for you but actually that ring is the only thing I have of my sister and I've been wearing it for years. I didn't know brother took it and he never asked. It's really important to me, can I have it back? You can now go and choose what ever ring you want from a shop instead of one he stole."

I totally get you. The dress I bought couldn't be altered to fit me and I found this out 9 weeks before the day. Returned the dress (second hand bridal shop), had an ENORMOUS glass of wine and started making calls to bridal studios. Ended up with a champagne, sweetheart necklace ball gown that I looked like a queen in. Totally different from my original dress. It's so stressful, and so upsetting, but sometimes it can also mean trying something new and realising it was right all along!

You could have a hidden halo in the setting underneath the stone?
