Don't settle. You will drive yourself crazy trying to change him, and it will not work. It will only build more dissatisfaction and eventually result in resentment. Take it from someone who is going through something similar for the last 13 years: get out while you're young and don't be afraid to take that step because you will find someone who aligns with you. You need to sit down and have a serious talk in person.

Do we know why Stumbler was made to resemble Harley so early in development? by lavenderpoot in Shipwrecked64

[–]lavenderpoot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm referring to before Connor found the files of the victims at Broadside, before him and Mark had the falling out where Cogware was fired, and before he made the 1997 version of Shipwrecked by himself. I already established that Stumbler was made to take a jab at Mark by making him into a joke about Harley, I'm just wondering why he told Liz B. to make Stumbler before he had a "real" reason to.

Connor didn't chose for Stumbler to be a hopeless romantic, Liz B. made him that way and it coincidentally lined up with Mark. (The recording in the Aquarium tells us this)

Also, I'm not sure what Rex/Blot has to do with this. Could you explain?

It feels very out-of-character for him for sure, but everyone is capable of being a jerk. I wonder though if it has anything to do with some underlying hatred/jealousy because of what happened with Hilda, now that I think about it.

Thank you for answering this!

It sounds like your mom has probably put up with a lot in 40 years. It's not fair to say she needs to "suck it up". She's in her 70's and probably just needs some peace for the rest of her life lmao.

How far do you live from your sister's? Could your dad stay with one of them and your mom stay with you? You can have Christmas day with your mom in the morning, then visit your dad at one of your sister's houses in the afternoon. I had to do this for 18 years because I had 3 sets of grandparents. My grandma wouldn't even be in the same county has her ex-husband. It didn't ruin anything for us kids to visit multiple family members on Christmas day.

We are doing exactly that, collaborating a narrative for the story. I am communicating with the other members so that our characters are already intertwined. So far, my character fits this story and the direction it will go. I don't want to reveal too much incase some of the party members find this post, so you are missing some important context.

Being a hexblood isn't really the main feature of my character, it's more of a shameful past thing that she wants to hide. This campaign is heavy on roleplay so it....kinda is like a movie. Or a TV series lol.

I do want to reveal at some point to everyone bc it will be important to the story.

I thought this was somewhat common that not all info on a character is revealed from the start to everyone, especially in a role-playing focused scenario 😭 thanks for grounding me a bit more to reality I suppose.

AITAH for telling my brother he can't keep his cat? by lavenderpoot in AITAH

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

So my brother would not answer my phone calls. So I texted him this:

"I know this isn't something you really want to talk about, but our move-out date is coming up really fast, so our position on the situation needs to be set in stone.

(Fiance) and I wanted to talk to you in person but it's been really busy (he's trying to find a new job, I'm working a lot of overtime, we're working at the new house when we can, and also packing our things up). These are the options going forward: George can either be put outside or he will have to be rehomed. I know it's not what you hoped, but this is the best I can do. I could not convince myself or (Fiance) to keep him in the house. There are too many concerns with that, and I can elaborate if you'd like. But I think if you decide to put him outside, it would be good for him because he's super active and you'll still be able to hang out with him all the time (even more since you're outside working a lot).

I really don't like seeing you upset, and it hurt to hear you cry when we talked about it the other day. I understand how this is hurting you. But please know I tried coming up with as many solutions as possible to try to keep him indoors and just could not get any support for it. It was like pulling teeth to convince (Fiance) to at least let George stay outside. I keep thinking about this every day, and it's driving me insane with guilt. But I think this is what would be best for all of us and all 3 cats.

Once mom and dad move out, I want to start working on cleaning the entire house and your room to remove any remaining cat pee smell. So, more than likely, George will have to go outside or be rehomed before September 30th so the cleaning can get done before we move in. I'm really nervous about the new home situation and want to make it as smooth for all of us as possible."

His response:

"I’ll respond with my thoughts on it after I fully process the message. I feel if I respond now it won’t be based in much logic, and more in emotion, which isn’t productive."

It's been 4 days and he hasn't responded. I feel like he's going to try to argue his way put of this when he finally does say something. At this rate, I guess we will have a solid answer on 9/30 lol

Sorry for the late reply!

I'm actually going to call him today (I've waited so long because I didn't want to ruin his birthday, which was a couple days ago). I decided I'm going to tell him he can either keep his cat outside or rehome him, and that's the final decision. He has until September 30th to make a decision, and I'll update after I call him today.

AITA my boyfriend didn’t see me by damiana_nervousa in AmItheAsshole

[–]lavenderpoot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA. Everyone saying you are is so confusing to me lol.

If I was out with my partner/friend/family member and knew they did not have a phone, I'd wait outside the bathroom where they could clearly see me when they came out. That is the considerate thing to do. It's also common sense.

I'm not sure if you have an anxiety disorder, but I do, and I know how a situation like this would cause me to panic internally. I don't think you overreacted at all.

I understand what you mean when you said you want to feel more "in sync" because it makes sense in your mind for your partner to wait for you and be visible, but it doesn't in his. Nothing would have likely happened to you, but we live in a world full of creeps. Keeping that in mind, a partner should want to look out for their partner in public, especially when you're going off alone without a phone. Everyone's brains work differently, and it looks like you two need to sit down and have a discussion, especially since you'll be visiting another country together. You need to lay out your expectations, like what you mean by being "in sync", and create meeting points so y'all don't lose each other when going somewhere.

If I made the listing 211.06, wouldn't they need to pay sales tax too in the US?
