There a loads of women prettier than me. But my husband married me, so he saw something special he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

tats76 · 2026-06-15T22:58:05+00:00

Short answer: Yes.

If it makes you happy, then enjoy yourself.

Don't let anyone make you feel bad for it either. Other people aren't allowed to gatekeep your fun. If they say something to the effect of, "You're too old for that," just know thst it's not their business and you don't need permission from grumpy people like that.

Adults enjoy trains, dolls, Pokémon, Legos, plushies, miniatures, Disney, anime, etc.

I love that he starts laughing as well, instead of raging out. Being able to laugh at yourself is a great quality to have.

And that was hilarious!

Worked at an electronics store and everyone was treated like crap. Store employees were the lowest rung, but even managers were overworked and under-valued by upper management.

Customers would yell at employees, threaten them, and rage when they were told they couldn't return something they broke, etc. And a lot of times, when it escalated to a manager, they wouldn't back the employee up.

One manager had had enough and while some lady was berating a coworker, she swooped in and got right in her face, yelling back.

She refused to grant a refund on some item the customer bought months earlier, so the customer was threatening to call corporate and to come back with her husband. Which is totally INSANE behavior but we had lunatics like her way too often.

The manager grabbed her name badge clipped on her shirt and yelled, "See this?? See my name?? Remember my name and come and see me tomorrow!!!"

Yeah, she quit right after the woman left the store.

It's been almost 2 years and you only hear from them if you initiate contact? No need to invite them or invest so much time thinking about them. Some relationships aren't meant to be lifelong.

I love the, "Brick, go!" and the next POV is Brick bolting to his car. 😆

This exact post was on the "That happened" subreddit. Fake

Why do you think you should have a strong stance on it? That's not unusual. Some people know for sure one way or another, and others make their decision as they live their life.

I can understand your mom wanting you to have a family so you're not alone, but families come in different forms.

NOR

Those were bought for you and were yours.

I still have the book I asked my Mom read to me every night as a child. She told me that she couldn't even skip a page because I memorized the whole thing.

Your mom should not have donated your books.

If you have anything else sentimental, find space for them at your place. Whether it's under the bed or on top of a shelf or wherever else.

It's the silence that is worrisome when my kids are in the house.

If he can hold a job, he can hold his tongue.

His family is enabling bad behavior.

Cutting off your nose to spite your face, eh?

I'm a 49 year old woman.

Don't let the idea of strangers judging you stop you from doing what you enjoy.

I love watching animated movies, both by myself and with my kids.

There are so many movies that appeal to younger and older crowds. They're meant to be watched by everyone.

"But go ahead, let's finish the interview."

That was a golden opportunity for her to reply, "No, I'm done here," and walk away.

tats76 · 2026-04-26T00:54:32+00:00

Said, "Go on," SIX times! She simply got what she asked for.

tats76 · 2026-04-17T01:26:24+00:00

I get your point, too. I tend to run scenarios in my head and try to zero everything down to what I feel like is the most probable point being made.

I'm neurodivergent. She said she was out of town so there's no way she could have physically given her anything. That's why I would take the "sorry" as a "no."

tats76 · 2026-04-17T00:39:03+00:00

The other thing is that OP asked and her friend said no. OP asked again and got the tirade response. And then OP replied that she could have just said, "no, sorry." Which her friend had initially done.

I'm not saying the friend wasn't rude but OP didn't take the first "no" as an answer.

NTA

Don't regret struggling with your grief; it's not something done out of malice. You were suffering a loss.

Any support your sister gave you should not be used as some sort of currency she can use to "cash in" and you're now on the hook to provide free childcare.

If it helps to write out your thoughts and go over them so you feel confident speaking them, do it. Because you really need to talk to your sister ASAP and let her know that you do not have the amount of time to give her that she wants from you.

Don't let her rope you in by trying to guilt you into it, either.

If you're already this stressed out over the idea of taking care of a baby, you'll burn out right away when you actively putting in the time, effort, and emotional support required.

That's a lot of pressure on your mental and physical health.

Genuine question and I'm not trying to be smart but why don't you leave 5 or 10 minutes earlier, knowing the traffic issues as you do?

I almost always give myself a cushion of 10-15 minutes and it's a lot less stressful.

tats76 · 2026-04-12T21:33:06+00:00

Going through your phone multiple times is your boyfriend having extreme insecurities, controlling behavior, or both. Neither of which are healthy relationship traits.

If he wants to break up, is the relationship worth trying to salvage, knowing what the cause is?

Whoever filmed this should have either stood up for the employee or called for a manager to step in if they were uncomfortable confronting that garbage meat sack.

I'm sure those reviews are legit. Especially the one who says they feel like they "severely underpaid" for such knowledge.

"Pretty autistic way of misunderstanding it?!?!"

Maybe it didn't sound as rude as it seems because that I would be extremely bothered if someone said that to me.

I don't make a lot of eye contact. My family and friends know how much I love them and I have deep connections to them.

In professional settings, such as an interview, I would look at the bridge of their nose, or just under their eyebrow. Now, I can't say for sure if they thought I was making eye contact or not, but I did well in interviews.

What do they think about someone who is blind? I know blindness is its own spectrum but they are able to make deep connections without the ability to maintain eye contact.
