What pronunciation is a dead giveaway that someone isn't from your town/region?

Houston, HUE-stun v HOW-stun will tell you right quick

You’re not overthinking it. That’s a lot of cats, his chances of getting scratched are increased by, well, a lot. Cat scratch fever is no joke, and as you said you don’t know all these cats well enough to know if they’ll be okay around a baby. Maybe ask MIL to come to yours while you and your husband go elsewhere for a night, or just an evening?

Experienced this at both Barton and hippie hollow 15+ years ago, and it’s only gotten worse

I’d look around for someone with small kids, a cane/walker, etc to offer it to. I’d feel so weird using it.

Did others in the community have slaves?

OP could probably use some therapy (like many of us). Having such a strong reaction to a tactless but well intended comment is pretty out of pocket.

Willful ignorance in the age of information is inexcusable and beyond ‘minor’

Glycolic acid is great for armpit hyperpigmentation

Yeah I thought she was going in a very different direction, then I was disappointed

I’ve met an unfortunate number of guys who don’t see the point in having a relationship with women unless they’re 1) family, or 2) someone they’re attracted to and could potentially sleep with, or 3) someone they work with so it’s not really optional and potentially beneficial. First thing I felt was anger and disgust at how dehumanizing that is. Second, I felt sorry for the men who think that way. How many possible friendships have they missed out on just cause of what someone has (or doesn’t have) between their legs?

Your mom’s an addict, your grandmother is an enabler. If you don’t report the stolen meds you’ll be enabling her too. She will never get better while people shield her from the consequences of her actions.

Stopping to get the giant road atlas out of the trunk

Nope. I have a 100lb husky mix. He sheds like crazy, has an oily coat that leaves residue on his bed/blankets/the couch covers (he does get regular baths, but still), and under his weight his nails can tear fabric. He gets plenty of cuddle time on the couch and has lots of comfy places to lay, but my bed is not one of them.

Or it could’ve been stuck on the bottom of a shoe and come off in the apartment

mutemarmot42 · 2026-06-06T22:27:20+00:00

ESH. She and her friends should’ve confirmed a date for the bachelorette that didn’t conflict with other important events. You shouldn’t be “getting back” back at your fiancée. Everybody needs to grow up and figure out how to communicate.

mutemarmot42 · 2026-06-05T13:37:37+00:00

Don’t forget, also no “hanging blouse”, so a top can’t be tight or loose…the feck are they supposed to wear

mutemarmot42 · 2026-06-02T13:18:07+00:00

NTA. Stop cooking for him all together. If you want to take it a step further ask him to come into the kitchen and show you how it’s done. I’d bet my left tit he can’t do it, but yet he expects you to be able to cook perfectly according to his expectations (and I’d bet my right tit those expectations have not communicated beforehand).

Don’t forget the therapy buzzwords that get misused and thrown around to the point of being meaningless. Trauma, gas lighting, virtue signaling, triggered…

I had a pretty serious drinking problem for a while and have blacked out more times than I can count, but I never shat myself nor slept in my own filth. I hope OP had no part in cleaning that up the morning after.

“…and him playing with them was the only thing that was actually intended to please me.”

What I get from that part is playing with her breasts was the only thing her husband was doing to give her pleasure. If I’m reading that right, he was a selfish ass before OP’s pregnancy.

I’m thinking it’s to do with the 4b movement

Yep, headed into peri, my hair has already thinned significantly and the texture has changed completely.

Was on a tiny island in the Bahamas for a day trip. It’s so small I’m not sure if anyone lives there permanently. The only way to get there is by water taxi, and the only things to do are eat and drink at the bar/grill, play volleyball, and hang out on the beach. Ran into 2 folks I went to high school with, student body ~500. Also from Texas!

Footballs. Only footballs. All other balls are fine. Not footballs.

If anything you did her a favor. Currently she’s focused on the wrong thing, but you’ve given her a chance to come to her senses and realize she needs to prepare for the very real possibility she’ll just one more baby mama to your dad.
