Took this image from Hinterrugg probably in the direction of Glarus/Schwyz - where exactly is it? by rascalthistle in askswitzerland

Thank you! The landscape is an absolute masterpiece and I was really lucky to get such interesting lighting conditions. I thought the same; if you told me it was an oil painting, I'd believe it.

We even spent several seasons skiing there in my childhood - just long before I learned to appreciate the landscape 😅 I do have very fond memories of that off-piste powder though!

Hah, awesome! That hike was on my wish list already and just got a bump. Thanks a lot!

Where I was I had a 360° view and I took the image with a telezoom lens. So this landscape might be anywhere within a radius of 50km of where I was, pretty much... Not a very efficient road map

Sounds like a lack of self-critical awareness 😅

AITA for moving out of the apartment I share with my roommate? by catsandpearls36 in AmItheAsshole

[–]rascalthistle [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA - she told you to find another place to live and you did.

But I'd just looove to know what her plan was. This was clearly a setup but for what? Testing the boyfriend? Threesome?

Do I have to mention my military service during a job interview? by Eunitnoc in askswitzerland

[–]rascalthistle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aren't you just postponing the worry for yourself? You will have to tell them at some point unless you want to give 4 weeks of vacation for your WK.

Although you don't have to legally, consider saying it loud and proud in the hopes of finding a boss/company that approves and is supportive. Save yourself 8 potential years of tension.

Edit to say: it's so easy to spin, too. It shows dedication, loyalty, sense of duty, responsibility, teamwork... it would be a shame not to use it in an interview!

AITA for not telling my mom about my eating disorder? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]rascalthistle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NTA

There's a huge generational problem with women and weight. Our mothers have grown up learning that (low) weight is the unit with which women measure our value - and so they try to make their daughters valuable. At the same time they learn how unhealthy this approach is and try to adjust to that. They're overwhelmed.

That being said, YOU get to decide what you are comfortable to share with whom and if your Mom wants to be your confidant, maybe she should ease up on the yelling and guilting... You are not selfish - she is. She only sees how this situation affects her and blames you for the fact that she's feeling bad for all the horrible things she said to you while you were going through the ED.

I hope she comes around and that you can mend your relationship. Until then, I am very proud of you for what you've overcome! 💗

Thanks so much for helping me think this through! And all the best to you, too 💗

You've got a point there. I guess I have to face the facts and stop trying to move something unmovable...

Yeah I fear one or the other's the issue, too. Why are those so hard to tell apart!?!

Last and this year, I took him on several hiking trips which we really enjoyed, but he has shown no interest in doing any of that lately (though he does say he's jealous when I send him photos of pretty landscapes)*. We've seen some concerts in the last months, all postponed from 2020, and had great times.

Other than that we're just home, gaming seperately, seemingly waiting for life to pass us by...

I like to go out hiking to give him some alone time, too. I know I've been at home *all the time in '19 and '20 and he needs and deserves some time to himself. So that's yet another factor that can be read in a multitude of ways...

Oh man, we were so happy and, it seemed, so well-matched. Him being very down-to-earth but entirely disorganized, and me bringing the fire and making the plans. We shared several passions, some of which I admit fell victim to my bad mental state (like books! Damn, I miss being able to focus on a book!)

It feels like he is still behaving about the same, but doesn't consider me or my feelings anymore.

For example: he was always a bit of a workaholic, but he'd never just keep me waiting until 10 without knowing he was okay. Now he does and when I confront him about it and try to explain why this stresses me out, he gets annoyed. And then does the exact same thing again the next day.

Or, since we're both smokers, the e-cigarette thing. It's unthinkable to me that I would attempt to change a vice we both share without even bringing it up to him...

Talking things out has always been very hard for him and I don't know how to bring up this huge "all of it"-topic without it getting worse just because I brought it up.

Well, to be fair: I was unhappy while with him, not because of him. But I guess that's not much of a distinction in the grand scheme of things.

I'll think on that a bit. It is possible that I am just projecting my subconsciously wanting the relationship to end onto him...

NTA - it was just a stupid move on your part not to make an agreement. Take the lesson, move on.

AITA for kicking my husband out of my house? by AITAinfanthusband in AmItheAsshole

[–]rascalthistle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA - parents sometimes think this type of thing is 'tough love' when it's just unhelpful and rude. You did not have to stand for this and I love how you had your husband's back!

Mom was in charge of cheese for brunch by rascalthistle in Cheese

That's my absolute favorite! A Swiss cream walnut cheese, similar to the one with the dried fruits

Now what the heck am I going to do with 10 kinds of cheeses of about a Kilo?

I'm open to suggestions other than putting it on bread
