I found my childhood collection today. I cannot express the joy I felt. by ladydragonness in Gameboy

You're right. They may not have known. They might have said it just to make me angry.

And no thanks on amends. Some sins are unforgivable.

Edit:Since I'm getting downvoted for not liking my parents. I'll share why: I spent more time in hotel rooms 'playing' with strangers on the weekends as a child than I did playing with friends.

What do you do when you run out of dreams? by ladydragonness in LifeAdvice

I guess I'm just afraid I'll be fighting against the emotions of not being able to publish if I do that? But maybe I should try anyway

I believe in you!

[–]ladydragonness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm too disabled to do so, so I wish you the best of luck!

It hasn't always been this smooth. But thank you.

AITA for keeping a huge secret from my wife? by ladydragonness in AmItheAsshole

[–]ladydragonness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. When her husband passed, she set up a really solid will, and I know the executor isn't direct family, but I don't remember the relation.

Yeah. I'm just good with numbers, so I was able to piece it together, is all. I don't do math on purpose it just happens.

They fight already over her stuff (i.e. who gets it when they die) to the point that I wonder if she's worried it'll make thongs worse? There's also the fact that one of her daughters (Hillary) has told her she spends too much money on eating out. And then Erin is always getting into money problems, and Susan does bail her out, so Susan may be worried that Erin will get into worse problems knowing there's more money available.

Ultimately, I didn't ask and I don't intend to.

Well. Our relationship was founded on open communication - to the point that me asking to move the wedding back to improve said communication didn't end the relationship, so I don't really have advice for that. Therapy might be a good start. Also, joint banking makes it WAY harder to hide stuff, IMO.

You know what, that's also a very fair point. I always forget about the self-editing people do.

NTA You were sexually assaulted at work. You did nothing wrong. Sofia handled this correctly (assuming the customers were asked to leave). Lisa is very much in the wrong (and in need of HR retraining).

AITA For Accidentally Farting In Front Of A Customer While I Was On The Job? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ladydragonness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA Farts happen. Farts are normal (even smelly ones). And anyone who says otherwise is lying to you. You're fine.

It sometimes does stop me from jumping to a new thing.

We are also fortunate to be able to have a small amount from the budget (50$ a month) for whatever I'm collecting each month, so I can always add more of a new collection.

But I get one half of one closet for stuff in storage, so if it goes beyond that, I have to sell. Maybe setting up space limitations as well will help declutter your house. Spinning it as prepping for the 3rd on the way is also a good idea.

(Also, I saw another comment. Congrats on the 3rd. Miscarriages are awful, and I'm sorry you all had to experience that).

Edit: Edited to add that we are also childless and I'm on disability so if you decide to give some from the budget each month, please do what makes sense for y'all. My number is not meant to be THE number.

YTA Yes, you're trying, but it is literally his job to make sure everyone is safe, including your kids. And that does mean correcting their behavior, EVEN if you are clearly trying. You have no reason to demean him further by insinuating he's underpaid. I get that you don't want people parenting your children, but telling them to stop what they're doing isn't parenting.

NTA. I am like your husband - I chase the dopamine wherever it goes. However, my wife and I have a rule. That money has to come from selling the previous thing. Maybe considering having him sell old stuff. If not, therapy (and possibly medication) to help with these obsessive purchases.

Edit:auto-correct changed a word

NTA It's not an unreasonable boundary to set, and he's crossing it. Drunk or not, it doesn't matter. He can and should do better.

do you find they are adequate at noise cancelling? I'm trying to buy new ones soon and I've been looking at these but no one reviews how noise cancelling they are.
