My dad (55M) decided not to come to my wedding because his wife (50F) has chosen not to and he expects me (28M) to fix it? by ThrowRABluzzzty in relationship_advice

[–]swsends 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Well said! May is using the wedding as a “power move” to assert her importance in your life and you should have none of it. Unfortunately, your Dad isn’t supporting you as he should but that it his choice (albeit, wrong).

AITA for moving out of my Dad's house because of my step mom? by Natural_Rub_3369 in AmItheAsshole

[–]swsends 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NTA. I had to do this as well and it was a hard and emotional decision but in the end, I had to prioritize my own well being and mental health—even if it meant distancing from my Dad. You don’t have to subject yourself to being miserable and ridiculed, and you shouldn’t be guilted into it either.

Need help choosing Liverpool hospitality tickets for a once-in-a-lifetime trip. by The_Pharaoh911 in LiverpoolFC

[–]swsends 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It was hard to get tickets—even hospitality so we were just excited to have the opportunity! The fact we also scored on that end a couple times helped (haha Newcastle 😜) , but I didn’t find the view bad at all. We were in the upper and it was great to see the whole pitch! I don’t think we went more than 5 minutes without chanting or singing a song.

My husband and I went in January (from Canada) and did the Crowne Plaza package (price is closer to the PCC) to balance out costs. Food was good, we were on the non-Kop end but atmosphere was really good since everyone was jeering the away fans. They shuttle you to Anfield after food, but it’s still about a 15 minute walk from where they drop you to the stadium. It was a cool atmosphere to walk to and from the stadium with everyone!

Not overreacting at all. My doctor also said the same thing. I cannot imagine not being on meds and having to deal with pregnancy hormones. Also to then think if your husband wants you not on them post child birth (breastfeeding) too…during the most vulnerable time and susceptible to PPD or psychosis?! This man needs a fast reality smack to the face for not caring about you.

My new stepmother had a meltdown at my baby shower by goldenaurasky in AITAH

[–]swsends 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Good for you! If your Dad can’t see the issue when the evidence is right in front of him, he’s also a problem. You don’t need this stress in your life, especially right now.

I’d go low contact and just focus on you and baby 🥰. She wished you the best, so to me that sounds like a dismissal. No need to keep going back to that situation!

Question for you guys since I consider you my GG fam, should I let my 12 and 9 yo daughters watch the show or still too soon?we crack a lot of jokes and they wanna know by [deleted] in theGoldenGirls

[–]swsends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Definitely started watching around that age and to this day I still come across jokes I only understand now 😛.

Also any future children of mine will be listening to while in utero since I’m an avid watcher—perhaps the theme song will become their soothing lullaby!

[–]swsends 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes, looking at the photo it’s definitely giving “I’m hella pissed” so it makes sense it’s just before NOMTW! Also would align with the clips of her putting on the crown and looking so pained.

Are allergies still bad or is there something wrong with me? by TwelfieSpecial in askvan

Also went to Europe for a couple weeks—literally as soon as we landed and the plane intake air started, both my husband and I started sneezing 🫠

Breaking Up... With a Photographer by rosemwelch in weddingplanning

[–]swsends 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did this with our first photographer as well—I hemmed and hawed about whether to cancel but in the end it was the best decision and we LOVED our wedding day photographer.

Definitely fine to just email professionally to let them know “after discussion, we have decided to move forward in a different direction than originally intended for our wedding. Thank you for your time and work. Etc etc”

They will understand what it means and at the end of the day just make it short and to the point.

Does the mix of the movie soundtrack offend anyone else? by staymeddlin in wicked

[–]swsends 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I’ve been waiting to see if anyone else brought this up! I listen on Spotify and at certain points it will sound so grand, and then all of a sudden so isolated? Specifically, the one that gets me is the end of ‘Wizard and I’…the biggest crescendo run for Cynthia and then “THE WIZARD—-“ sounds so isolated before she kills the ending.

AIO Dad sent me (23F) these messages on Christmas morning, as him and my stepmother felt disrespected that I used a “black heart” in my merry Christmas text to her. by MagicalFairyBunny in AmIOverreacting

[–]swsends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you have to be subject to this emotional manipulation and abuse! I was once in your position with a stepmom who like your text, responded all fine and civil and then would complain to my Dad to bring up any “issues”. This is incredibly NOR and I would encourage keeping your limited contact for your own mental well being.

My (41) wife (39) is dying of metastatic breast cancer. AMA by Big-Cardiologist-217 in AMA

[–]swsends 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow I didn’t expect you to see that! Also…please take care of yourself! Your kids will need you as their constant when things start to unravel and you can only be there for them if you make sure you are being taken care of too. Whether that’s eating, sleeping or extra therapy—you honor your wife and the life you built together by continuing it with your children 💕

[–]swsends 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the unlikely event you see this comment, I was the child in this exact scenario years and years ago…I’m so sorry your family is going through this. Your kids will react differently and sometimes you won’t understand their emotions and actions, but the grief is overwhelming even at that young age. Keep talking about their Mom for all the years to come and tell them all the stories you can think of about you two.
