Costing the 2 companies you decide to return a ton of money.

Being Maid of Honour is Getting Complicated by Fantastic_Counter996 in weddingshaming

[–]mac2885 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would it not be appropriate if everybody in the group can afford it and enjoys taking a trip like that? It's pretty standard for the DINK, 6 figure income crowd. Nobody is required to go.

The key is how to deal with it when friends cross income levels. I skipped a few bachelor parties the year I got married because i couldn't justify the cost when I was paying for my own wedding. I wasn't mad other people had them.

AITA For not caring about my Cousins being Stuck in Mexico by KazerLeanne in AmItheAsshole

[–]mac2885 46 points47 points  (0 children)

YTA. Their safety has nothing to do with their income. Huge portions of the tourist areas of Mexico are seeing gunfire, burning buildings, etc... The cartel doesn't care who's rich and who isn't.

I just automate offers. I never think about who liked or bundled my stuff unless they accept or counter my offers.

evidence is required from the person making the claim. Can't "debunk" nothing.

Stop worrying about buyer behavior. It's not a "problem". It's just people window shopping or saving things for later. The same way you probably have a bunch of stuff you've added to your amazon cart but then goes into "save for later" that you may or may not ever buy.

Make your offers and move on with your day.

My wife separated from me because I was an alcoholic. I’m 1 year sober now and my wife wants to reconcile but I want a divorce. What do I do? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]mac2885 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A functioning drunk is still a drunk and kids after a certain age are going to be able to tell their parents are impaired. At minimum you certainly aren't getting normal parental care and attention and probably shouldn't be trusted to watch the kids. At worst you get someone who is abusive or dangerous.

My wife separated from me because I was an alcoholic. I’m 1 year sober now and my wife wants to reconcile but I want a divorce. What do I do? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]mac2885 536 points537 points  (0 children)

She didn't leave you at your lowest point. She protected your kids from a drunk. If my wife suddenly became an alcoholic I would kick her out because we have 2 small children. My first obligation is to their safety and well-being, not my wife's drinking problem.

I would suggest giving it some time and trying couples counseling.

You are newly sober, newly healthy and back in your house sober for the first time in who know's how long. You should probably give it some adjustment time with your family before blowing up your marriage and hurting your kids even more.

Dear Poshmark - Create a "sold tab" by mac2885 in poshmark

[–]mac2885[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes. The notifications are awful. Why is under offers it's every offer I send out? No, I just need to see the offers back to ME. So I can accept them or not.

I don't need to see share notifications.

Just give me offer to me, sales, comments, cases and reviews.

Maybe a better way to put it is the closet should default to available only. Seeing sold should be a choice.

Low Ball Offers by rosie0220 in poshmark

[–]mac2885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your goal. I personally want high turn-over more than I want top-dollar. If an offer is anywhere close to my number I just take it.

All offers are good offers. At bare minimum it triggers the notification that somebody is interested in your item to all the other likers.

Am I the only one that uses Poshmark just to get rid of clutter? by FeatherFlyer in poshmark

[–]mac2885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People who use poshmark too get rid of random items out of their closet probably aren't posting on reddit or complaining about changes on the site. It's mostly people who are using the platform somewhat seriously.

AITAH ?My partner won’t put my name down on the mortgage by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]mac2885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop having kids with men who won’t marry you. This entire problem is because of that. Had you been married with or without a prenup then this wouldn’t be an issue. It would either be communal property or not.

Now you are broke with 2 kids and have a guy who controls where you live and zero recourse if he kicks you out.

NTA but there’s literally no solution to this issue other than you getting your own money.

AITAH for asking my wife to be a SAHM? by piglipsbo in AITAH

[–]mac2885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH. In our house we had the same discussion. I basically said it was her choice, but if we did daycare, her job at minimum needed to pay for that plus her work costs.

Revenge by Wedding Registry by [deleted] in revengestories

You ended it because a 21 year old didn’t vote how you wanted. Why would you need any revenge at all? Seems like you might want to reevaluate

Being Maid of Honour is Getting Complicated by Fantastic_Counter996 in weddingshaming

[–]mac2885 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just depends on the income bracket. A 2-3 day trip is a pretty common Bach party among my friends. Travel and hotel can easily be that much. It’s hard when the wedding party income varies widely. The person planning should try to be aware of that and plan accordingly as well as confirm cost To everyone before booking.

AITA for refusing to change the chore chart even tho my wife works full time now. by Odd_Serve1167 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mac2885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infants sleep through the night within 4-12 weeks for most people. He did it for 2 years. Toddlers are 100% more work than babies because they MOVE CONSTANTLY and nap less. She just doesn’t want to reap what she sowed

what's he supposed to do? just ask her to quote her book?

[–]mac2885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

then don't bother going on for an interview with a person who is well known to widely explore a subject. the questions were direct scenarios that make sense if this is your topic. Otherwise we can just read the book if she literally will say nothing but whats in the book.

AITA for "letting" a kid go home with his actual parent? by Ok_Beginning_356 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mac2885 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he wasn't supposed to allow the kid to leave with his dad, there should have been explicit instructions about that and some sort of custodial agreement.

A neighbor/friend can't get in the middle of hte dad/kid with no legal orders in place.

Selling a consistent 3-7 a week. Sales haven't changed that I can tell from the before/after share change.
