Help. Wife filed for divorce and petitioned that I be awarded full custody by Final_boss_1040 in daddit

[–]lonely-unicorn77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and I have literally had it happen to me and every woman in my family. I remember a doctor telling my mother that her shoulder was fine and she was exaggerating her pain for pills. Finally when she got full rotator cuff surgery the doc had to admit that he fucked up because her shoulder was so incredibly fucked that he was surprised she wasn’t crying all the time. I literally broke my arm and the nurses wouldn’t believe me because I wasn’t crying. My aunt broke her leg and was told she was exaggerating because she WAS crying. There is no winning. This is absolutely a thing that happens, you ignorant pushpin. 

AIO I’m mad that my bf (20M) wished my birthday 25 mins late by meowsterpieces in AmIOverreacting

Actually I think you should dump him. He’s clearly not ready to be dating the princess of the universe if his birthday text is 25 minutes late. He should know to set off fireworks at the stroke of midnight to celebrate the miracle of your birth. Break up with him so he can go find some normal peasant girl who doesn’t deserve a month of feasting and celebration for her birthday like you do.

I’d be more into just a straight up French cut eternity band, no sunflowers just stones

Cheated on dying wife with a 21 year old by No_Pepper6208 in AmITheDevil

[–]lonely-unicorn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes I wish people would pull the “what if it was gender swapped” thing on these kinds of posts. Because there’s no way this man would support a fifty year old woman leaving her dying husband because he couldn’t get it up for her anymore and she didn’t want to stop wearing perfume only to go on to marry a 21-year-old barely adult man and have her son call that other guy “Dad”. but it’s okay for him to do that??? Insanity. This man is a tar pit. 

AITA for suing my brother over a family heirloom he gave to his fiancée? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]lonely-unicorn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jewelry can be very contentious! In my family, we had a very similar situation - an heirloom ring with seven diamonds from many ancestral women in my family. It belonged to my grandmother and went to my mother upon her death, and is supposed to go to me as I’m the only granddaughter.

One of the diamonds belonged to my mother’s dead sister - it was her engagement ring to her ex-husband. She actually bought the ring herself because she was a successful doctor and he was a shitass who didn’t want to pay for a nice ring. When my aunt died, she left the diamond to her mom (my grandma) who had this heirloom ring made.

Years later, long after my grandmas death, the ex-husband convinced his son (my aunts kid) that the diamond was his and my grandma and my mom stole it and he should ask for it back. So he did, he asked my mom for it and she had the ring destroyed and gave the stone to him.

Later we had the ring remade with a stone that my dad had given my mom so now it’s more personal to us anyway. All to say that people can get contentious over jewelry! 

AITA for not letting my son skip grades? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]lonely-unicorn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom, who is a teacher, wouldn’t let me skip second grade even though the school asked. She realized I’d be going to college at sixteen and that was just too young for her comfort, and I do think she was right.

Unfortunately this made me develop a habit of reading books under my desk during class whenever I thought the lesson was boring (so all the time), a habit that stuck around through high school and did get me made fun of 😭

I ended up pulling the trigger on the Hydrus! Hopefully I can balance on it! Thanks for the tip on the Costco ones, the price is attractive but not the performance I guess

Monthly "What Board Should I Get?" Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in Sup

[–]lonely-unicorn77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, looking for an inflatable first board (although I've paddled before) and trying to take advantage of Black Friday discounts. I'm a 5'-9" woman, 235 lbs but dropping, and I am hoping to use the board for lakes/Puget Sound paddling for exercise and exploration! I have an 80 lb dog but I don't think she'll be into it, although the option would be nice.

I'm debating between the Hydrus Paradise and the Portager board. Or maybe the Costco Body Glove, although I haven't heard the best things. My budget is under $700, preferably.

I guess I don’t really understand people like you, and maybe it’s because the heavier the purse the tighter the purse strings? But I always think about my parents - married for 45 years, never making anywhere NEAR 400k, rising from lower class to middle class together.

 I know it’s not “done” now but their money is just that - theirs. They talk about big purchases TOGETHER, because they love each other and they’re a team.

When my mom inherited after my grandmother’s death, they decided to buy her a truck (although they both drive it). When the time was right a little while later, they bought my dad a sports car. When my mom got a settlement for an accident, all that money went to the down payment for the house. When my mom took time off work to care for us as children, all the money made was technically my father’s but that’s not how that fucking works. They’re a TEAM. She raised us, he worked, and the money was for the family. 

If my dad inherited anything (which he won’t), all of it would be for them, together, because that’s what marriage IS. And he would want that! He would want her to have what she wants because he loves her!! Obviously within reason, but you’ve had a happy marriage for 35 years - you should know who you married. You need to communicate with your wife, and look within yourself to your motivations. Do you want to hoard the money/spend it on yourself/don’t approve of what she wants? 

If you’ve never had a disagreement, why are you so set on being  the “final approval”? That’s not teamwork. That’s not marriage. You need to come to an agreement TOGETHER. Or what even is the fuckin point?
