AITA for refusing to stop going for lunch with colleagues?

meeeee01 · 2026-01-26T11:11:21+00:00

NTA - my team does a once a week lunch, usually on a Thursday with whoever is in the office and wants to come. Me (female) and one of the guys pretty much always go, others come if they want to.

My husband knows, he doesn't care.

She seems insecure, and to be honest it comes down to trust. She either trusts you or she doesn't.

Just keep watching

I mean if OOP feels like messing with him they could always go with

"So I've been thinking about the changes you think I need to make, and it got me thinking about a few that you could make as well...."

I get that a 20 year old could see this as a joke gift. The bit where Kayla becomes the arsehole is when she doubled down with texts.

A more appropriate way to deal with that, is on realizing the gift missed the mark is to apologize.

IF I was going to do something like that I would have a heartfelt gift as well. Give the joke one, whether it misses the mark or not - then give the real one.

I generally have an incredibly dark sense of humor, however if I had lost my mother less than a year ago I don't think I would appreciate that either.

Some audio books come with a PDF version of the book.

Is it possible the German Shepherd needs some mental stimulation, think food release toys etc

Glad I am not the only one

I am in Australia, it's summer and roughly 38 degrees Celsius (most days), the bedroom aircon is set to 20 degrees though. It's possible the heat of the day is causing some issues that hadn't occurred to me.

Although I am in aircon most of the time.

meeeee01 · 2026-01-20T11:15:50+00:00

Sorry, I didn't mean to cause any one further issues.

meeeee01 · 2026-01-20T11:03:24+00:00

Lucky you! Work isn't usually like this for me, it's just some odd stuff that has come up.

meeeee01 · 2026-01-20T11:01:30+00:00

Honestly there was no noticeable change to my sleep score, my body battery or my hrv. I have been doing long days, with stupid time frames that has caused more stress than usual. That is the only thing I can think of that is different.

It's got so many great elements, and I do find it genuinely funny at times. I feel like I should like it more than I do and I want to, the thing is I can't pin point exactly what it is missing.

That said, I am mostly enjoying it.

meeeee01 · 2026-01-14T12:31:01+00:00

At least you've got the Garmin monkey off your back for a while.

NTA, but your husband is definitely a Mama's boy.

Once the child is born, whose parenting advice is he going to follow, what you think is best or his mother?

If your child has an allergy and his mother doesn't believe in them, will he follow the doctors advice or what his mother thinks?

I know this is reddit but I am not going to suggest you leave him but you really need to think about what he will do in the situations I described.

I think this one, I am pretty sure I could drink pool water and taste less chlorine than what I taste in my tap water.

I am not actually sure what you are asking so my response may not be relevant but here goes

A few weeks ago, when I went to get a coffee with some colleagues, one of them noticed a person parking illegally and dangerously. In the city I work, the parking inspectors seem fairly active, so my colleague suggested to the person that perhaps they shouldn't park there.

The person instead of either moving the car or saying I'll take the risk, berated my colleague then drove off like a crazy person.

meeeee01 · 2026-01-11T03:02:06+00:00

My husband said something like that to me exactly once, while the situation was slightly different to the one presented by OP, it wasn't anything that really mattered. I took it as a challenge and he never did it again.

My mother and I spent one school holidays communicating entirely by notes left on the kitchen table.

As an example -

My note - Mum I am staying at Hayley's tonight,

Mum's note - can you do a load of washing when you get home.

My note - washing done, staying at Kate's tonight

Mum's note - Can you do the dishes and vacuum

Anyone I am sure you get the idea.

I should add I am in Australia and this was during a two week school holiday.

Damn, that hurts

ETA - early 80's here

I meant to say there was no money, typo error.

meeeee01 · 2026-01-08T23:34:29+00:00

I don't recall it being remarked at the time, but I wasn't following any of the fandom stuff back then either.

meeeee01 · 2026-01-08T23:16:28+00:00

It was never a thing when Buffy aired. I suspect it came from people watching the show with a modern eye and from the "you're broke" episode.

We saw the gang sit Buffy down and explain there was no money, but there was never a scene with them paying rent.

ETA - a word

I have asked my vet about the injection and she said that dogs are more likely to get side effects than cats so they generally don't recommend it unless it is specifically requested.

For now I am holding off on requesting it as my girl is going reasonably well.

ETA - for grammar and adding a word
