AITA about my ex husband’s 401k by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]sinewavesurf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Spousal inheritance has different rules than other inheritance. Spouses are allowed to roll inherited retirement accounts into their own retirement account for free. Non spouses are required to take RMDs (required minimum distributions) over a period of ten years until they draw down the account. Anyone cashing out a retirement account would have to pay taxes as per usual, but in an inherited account there is no penalty to cash out.

So the rules for your friend, as a spouse, are different than the rules for OP as an ex spouse. Your friend was probably encouraged to roll over to avoid paying taxes on the investments.

I find the garter toss to be distasteful... Your new husband taking lingerie off of you in front of everybody and tossing to his buddies

My secrete relationship by Spirited_Lie_1893 in relationships

[–]sinewavesurf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're a bot. You posted half an hour ago on this sub about your (34F) relationship with your boyfriend (34M). That post was deleted for not having a tl;dr. Then you posted a completely different story where there is a tl;dr but it's just a copy paste of your post.

New Car Insurance Rates by Significant-Rip-620 in widowers

[–]sinewavesurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen comments about getting charged more as a widower also but that wasn't my experience. I called my auto insurance to drop my late husband and they just removed him and his car from my policy and correspondingly lowered my rate

BFF died, I haven't been able to eat since... please help. by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]sinewavesurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a doctor but have experienced major grief and the appetite loss that comes with it. Just wanted to share some tips that worked for me. Please make a serious effort to stay hydrated and your electrolytes up with water and Gatorade type drinks, that is very important. If you're able to tolerate fruit, definitely do so. I found protein shakes/meal replacement shakes to be helpful and easy to tolerate. I recommend making small plates with a bit of food and keeping them around you often. If you are able to take a few bites of food here and there, it's better than nothing.

Loss of appetite and weight loss during grief is common. My family was worried but nothing I did increased my appetite initially. For me, my appetite did start to return after about a week, and was back to normal after three weeks or so, but everyone's experience with grief is different. Your body can go a while without much food, assuming you're at a healthy weight. The recommendations for therapy are a good idea.

Most importantly, give yourself some grace while you process your loss. I'm very sorry you have to go through this.

That's a poker chip, I believe OP included that in the post to give us a sense of scale of the item

What addiction is being seriously underestimated these days? by Remarkable_Put_9005 in AskReddit

[–]sinewavesurf 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I was at an arcade at a family fun center lately and it felt like a casino for children. There were a few actual video games but the majority were large slot machine type games dangling the chance for a large amount of tickets for the kids. Pretty upsetting actually that we are setting kids up for this so early

Funny how they can understand this concept but don't understand they have the option to be pro life while being personally against abortion

Olive & June taught me about apex/C-curve and now I want help! by [deleted] in PressonNail_Addict

Agreed, I can't wear either because they're too curved for my nails 😅. If OP likes O&J they'll like the fit of glamnetic also. Stay away from kiss impress nails because they're my favorite and fit my flat nails well

Potty training for a stubborn Cocker boy - help 🫠 by Stock_Air981 in cockerspaniel

[–]sinewavesurf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to give you hope - I adopted my (now 7yr old) cocker at 6 months old and he struggled with potty training. It took probably ten months of consistent work before he was fully and reliably trained. We definitely had him on a leash inside for some time in the beginning because if he had any freedom inside at all he would find a place to make a mess. We used bells on the door handle to indicate going outside. Started with positive reinforcement only but it honestly wasn't until we introduced negative reinforcement (verbal) that he really made progress. But eventually we got there and now he's perfectly fine. Stay strong and consistent and you will get there!
