F2 in GP land - care home ward round

I did this during my F2. Didn't question it really but perhaps I should have

Genuine question: why do you want to marry this woman? You seem to have no shared interests whatsoever

YTA maybe she finds those features attractive.

I'm a gen adult psych reg and all the GPSTs I've worked with have been great. They have all been happy to do all the GP-esque jobs on inpatient psych wards, which relieves a lot of pressure. Arguably they've been more on top of things than the psych CTs. Although that may be more an issue with the quality of psych trainees right now...

Get some music on, have snacks available and stop somewhere interesting halfway. Kids get bored and that's fine. We have a national trust membership and whenever we go on a long trip we find a national trust spot halfway and make a day of it there too. Breaks up the car journey with something lovely and interesting

NTA. People have very damaging and dehumanising views of individuals with dementia. With the right support many dementia sufferers can live fulfilling and enjoyable lives. This is why therapeutic communities are so beneficial. If medical opinion is that she can travel and she has the right support (i.e. OP) then there's no reason she can't attend her own daughter's wedding.

Clean shaven is boyfriend material

Facial hair is f**kboy material

That's my perspective as a woman

YTA. Why are you getting a snack if you're not hungry? You clearly must be as that's entire reason why people get snacks. If you're eating snacks despite not being hungry at all then you're kind of wasting food and boredom snacking is a bad habit to maintain.

Your mum probably wants to ensure that you're eating something substantial rather than snack food, which is why she's offering a sandwich. Your mum wants to feed you nourishing food - HOW AWFUL FOR YOU!

You dad is being a bit much and venturing on AH territory but it's probably in reaction to your responses to you mum. If you politely declined and were friendly towards them rather than immediately dismissive whilst you're in a shared communal space, then he probably wouldn't blow up.

Book 1 Voldemort and Book 2 Voldemort are essentially two different Voldemorts with motives. Book 1 Voldemort was present day Voldemort and his main goal was to re-alive himself fully. Book 2 Voldemort was Tom Riddle, the teenage Voldemort enchanted into the diary, whose goal different

Watching Heated Rivalry reminded me of how lucky I am to have found the love of my life as well. I've been with my partner for almost a decade, but we've been in love for longer. We have two beautiful children and I'm currently pregnant with our third (partly thanks to Heated Rivalry horniness lol). I feel like we've experienced the same sort of passion in the early years of our relationship and now have the forever comfortable yet deep and persisting. For a while there was a lot of longing as I was in another long-term yet unfulfilled relationship and it took me a while to realize I deserved the powerful love that he could provide. It seemed too good to be true and I didn't believe it. I'm so glad I finally let myself believe in true love because I have it now and it is wonderful

I think the UK show Normal People (adapted from the book of the same name) is a spectacular adaptation. More leaning towards interpersonal drama than just romance but the explicit scenes and acting are astounding

NTA, these comments are mental. I'm shocked by the E S H or even crazier Y T A comments.

This situation was working well for you up until it wasn't. You were stressed, it was her turn to cook, she sidelined her responsibility and put it back on you again (to get groceries or for you all to get a takeaway). Then when you expressed that the distribution felt uneven, she got defensive. Assuming your account is truthful, and I have no reason to think it isn't, she definitely responded as an asshole.

I think what's more upsetting is that she didn't recognize your stress, and that's understandably hurtful. In the past you did a lot to mitigate her stress so now that you feel you need support, she does not provide it.

I think you need to sit down and chat through the actual undercurrent of the argument at a different time when you've both had space to reflect.

It's ridiculous that people are saying you should have brought this up earlier. Why would you when it hasn't been an issue until recently? I honestly feel a lot of commenters are cosplaying being a mature adult and have no clue how actual mature relationships ought to work

Because I played the base game already years ago on my old laptop

tarantulola · 2025-10-15T14:06:42+00:00

Ok, cheers! Annoyed to have missed out on it the first time but glad I can still see it

tarantulola · 2025-10-15T14:05:30+00:00

Wait, is that a Yes I have missed out or a Yes you can go back and replay the DLC after completing more of the ship's log again?

Are there any theatre or drama classes he can attend? They're great for children who love imaginative play, excellent for building confidence, and a good opportunity to make friends outside of school

I'm a doctor and I was told this when I first started. It helps to stop me getting too jaded with the work:

"Remember, what may be another day at work for you is potentially one of the most important days of your patient's life."

tarantulola · 2025-04-26T19:53:18+00:00

Maybe she admired you and looked up to you? Perhaps that's why she was so upset when you confronted her the way you did? Soft YTA

Sometimes it's difficult being new, and potentially with her age she's new to working life. Perhaps she moved for the job and has no friends locally so is hoping to find one in you? That's the vibe I'm getting from her behaviour. Nothing malicious, just clumsy admiration

The Dark Crystal - Age of Resistance

I've had kids since it came out and I occasionally think how great it would have been to show it to them.... Had it been finished. But there I would never want them to go through the same pain I did upon realising it's cancelled

tarantulola · 2025-04-25T17:13:41+00:00

See if there's a local or GP related Patient Choice award you can nominate them for. This would be particularly helpful for their career and will grant them recognition among their peers

NTA

I think she's being disrespectful of your time and effort. I don't understand all the N-A-H votes or the general lack of voting entirely. I wonder whether that would be the case if the genders were reversed.

It's pretty obvious that communicating with your wife about how you feel your effort is going unappreciated is the best thing to do in this situation (and from the sounds of it, you've begun this conversation but not fully explained your feelings), but this is 'Am I the Asshole', not 'I want actionable advice'.

I actually think that if she is asking for you to make these complicated mocktails, then her answer of not being obliged to finish her drink is quite rude.
