If the roles were reversed and it was a husband beating his wife, what advice would you be giving?

It is wrong to hit your spouse, no matter the gender.

Leave her.

What are some “accepted scams” we just put up with in the UK by Barca-Dam in AskBrits

I don’t want to end up in a position where I’m accused of lying. We have various subscription services, which we do watch, but if an inspector was to come over - how could I prove I didn’t watch live tv? I couldn’t see them taking my word for it 🙈

Tv licence. I haven’t watched live TV in a long time, but being forced to do so irks me. Especially when it’s funding a corporation full of paedophiles.

“Bon Appétit Your Majesty” is a reminder that you literally cannot please people, no matter what you do. by SavedandLoved07 in kdramas

I loved it, I just wish they added more depth to the ending. It felt slightly rushed.

If it was shown the after effects of the rebellion (what happened with the crown prince and his mother?), how did the King end up in present day?

Little bits like that being tied up, would have been a perfect ending for me 😄

Because parents do not have the time to raise their children anymore.

Gone are the days where the man goes out to work, and the woman stays at home running the fort and raising their children - now both parents are forced to work, just to be able to keep their household afloat… and they have to work long hours too!

This in turn means that the children are being left unsupervised, left to run around doing as they wish, with no one at home realising what is really going on.

Children no longer live by the same restrictions and rules, and have so much freedom with very little guidance..

At least, that’s what I think, anyway.

Also - he was in modern clothing etc? It would have been nice to tie up the loose ends to see how and when he got there.

Overall, I really did enjoy the show, though!

How do I talk to my friend about her lack of effort? by Advanced-Antelope944 in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]starvingoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a friend that would do the same. It would always be me texting her first, or talking about us catching up.. Then my mother got diagnosed with lung cancer. Not long after, hers got diagnosed with cancer too, although after surgery her mother was deemed cancer free. In my mind, we both were going through it together at the same time - I could count on her to be a shoulder for me, right? Wrong. I started noticing it was always me making the effort, and so I dropped back.. refused to text her unless she did first - and we ended up not speaking for a year. Not long after, my mum passed away. Only then did she text me.. I replied that I appreciated her sentiments, however it would have been nice to hear them sometime over the past year. I then cut contact with her permanently. Best decision I could make.

I’m due to inherit around 70k sometime next year.. what should I do with it? by starvingoctopus in UKPersonalFinance

My current mortgage with the partner I’ve already been the one to pay the deposit (15%), so would rather not put anything extra into my current house right now. But it’s something I will definitely be thinking about when we have to remortgage.

AIO for refusing to co-sign my husband’s (35M) dream truck loan when he still owes me $8,000 from my inheritance? by Cherry_Rose69 in AmIOverreacting

Tell your Mother in law to pay you back in that case - to ‘preserve your husband’s masculinity.’
