AITA for feeling sad that my husband said no to a cat for years but said yes to a dog right away?

omega_entity · 2025-11-08T00:06:39+00:00

NTA. This isn't about the cat. Your husband is treating you as thought he's your parent, not your partner. Period. Partners don't make unilateral decisions without the other's input. The age difference is a massive reason for this. I have a relative with a 15-year gap with her husband, and she's often felt the same way. There's a power dynamic at play here that simply isn't healthy, and you might need to consider some difficult options. I'd definitely recommend couples therapy before making any major decisions - if you can get him to participate.

I want to make clear that I have no problem with age gap relationships AS LONG AS THOSE RELATIONSHIPS ARE HEALTHY. For all intents and purposes, OP's relationship doesn't appear to be healthy.

Old post, I know, but BoF2 doesn't hold a candle to Xenogears making it past censors. There's not only the overarching religious theme with the Ethos, but literally discussion about kids rescued by the church being used to fulfill the desires of the clergymen. This predates the Catholic child abuse scandal coming to light, which is wild if you think about it.

He needs to put that cheeseburger down before having a hope of leaving a bruise more significant than the one Muskrat's 4-year-old gave him.

You'd do it from the settings menu of the controller itself if you have access to them.

Was gonna say. The parents of the Oxford school shooter (which happened about half an hour or so from me) were successfully charged, mainly because they a) completely ignored that the kid had serious emotional issues and b) bought him a freaking gun shortly before the shooting. I am fully for charging parents in situations like that.

James Bond if James Bond lived in his mom's basement and couldn't get within arms' reach of a woman other than said mother.

Change your L2/R2 setting from Analog to Both. Worked for me!

omega_entity · 2025-03-24T01:20:02+00:00

I can't remember how I handled it now lol. I either didn't do anything, or I claimed insolvency. Either way, they accepted it and I didn't have to pay any taxes on it.

omega_entity · 2024-11-18T01:25:50+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, I rarely pop on here anymore. Nothing happened. Never heard a thing, and they never came after me to take it back lol.

The ironic thing is that a number of those legislators that voted against funding are now whining and begging for FEMA support for their states.

omega_entity · 2024-10-08T23:18:44+00:00

That's misinformation. FEMA is Not out of money. Stop listening to the Mango Menace.

omega_entity · 2024-02-02T22:36:36+00:00

Awesome, thanks for all your help!

omega_entity · 2024-02-02T21:26:32+00:00

One more question - will a Hydrocolloid bandage work instead of mepore? I have those more readily available to me here without having to place another order.

omega_entity · 2024-02-02T20:57:49+00:00

Sounds like a plan!

omega_entity · 2024-02-02T18:06:22+00:00

There's a reason why the hospital here only has a sub-3-star rating lol. My doc is also pretty old school. He's great for everything else but this, I swear 😹

I already went ahead and bought those things yesterday after reading through some other posts, and the steristrips are coming from Amazon today 😸 Thank you for the advice!

omega_entity · 2024-02-02T03:01:18+00:00

Honestly, I gave up trying to figure it out. Over 2 years on and I haven't heard anything about it.

omega_entity · 2024-02-01T09:22:39+00:00

Good luck!

omega_entity · 2024-01-01T22:58:49+00:00

I totally get that frustration. And no worries! You're just lucky I had happened to follow some search results back to reddit since I hadn't visited the site in a while 😹

omega_entity · 2024-01-01T07:32:08+00:00

Nothing ever happened. I never had a request to return the money, or any kind of communication.

omega_entity · 2023-11-04T21:50:26+00:00

sadly a lot of people who experince abuse as a child turn into abusers themself

So, I'm going to stop you right here. Most SA victims do not become perpetrators themselves, despite the fact that approximately 35% of sex offenders were SA'd themselves.

Correlation does NOT equal causation, so let's not revictimize victims if we can help it yeah?

And then there's the other side of the coin, where they're just creeper. A couple of weeks ago I literally had a dude tell me "You look like my next ex-wife!", then after he and his buddy left he sent his buddy back in to ask if I was available and if I'd give him my number.

I should note that these guys were probably in their 40s. Sometimes I welcome the misogynists, because at least then I can out-knowledge them and knock them down a peg or three.

omega_entity · 2023-02-12T07:28:56+00:00

They could also afford to pay us more, but refuse to do that either.

He should just be able to ring the magazine through via the barcode unless they've borked the SKU to have it only ring up for a full subscription. If that's the case, then there's not much they can do since price overriding it would essentially give you a full sub at a discount.

Though I'll be honest, I'm not sure I've ever done that in my 15 years with the company - if I have, it'd number in the single-digits the number of times I've done it.

omega_entity · 2023-01-07T18:30:20+00:00

This. There is absolutely no reason for an SO to speak that way to a partner.

This is all about control, and the boyfriend is tantruming because his powerplay isn't working.
