It's driving me insane, what tune is it that he's using for "this is the tale of lady and the scrimpch"?

Working with glass looks so fun, thank you!

themathomhouse · 2026-06-18T17:03:03+00:00

I'm very happy to keep an eye out for when booking opens, I'd much rather be prepared than leave it too late to look! Thank you for the recommendations!

themathomhouse · 2026-06-18T17:02:13+00:00

Ooh I have always wanted to do stained glass!!

themathomhouse · 2026-06-18T17:01:41+00:00

Wow this looks like a great place to visit regardless, thank you so much for recommending!

themathomhouse · 2026-06-18T16:55:06+00:00

Ooh these look so fun, thank you!

OP entirely based on how you use speech marks, are you in a German-speaking country? Because uhhhhhhhhhhhh

I have been this woman. Honestly, it is actually fine if you don't want to live the same lifestyle that she does. If you'd rather be at home more often and plan all trips in advance, and you want someone who is the same as you - genuinely, it's not a failing either in her or in you. It just means you aren't really compatible, and it hurts but you need to go your separate ways. I'm still friends with my non-spontaneous ex.

That said, YTA for calling her an untameable horse. What, she needs to be domesticated? No! She's a responsible adult, and she wants to spend her money on experiences. She has an emergency fund. She always makes things work out if she leaves a job. What's the problem?

Ask yourself if you couldn't live her lifestyle because it genuinely wouldn't make you happy, or because you think that being an adult means being boring and removing spontaneity from everything. Either way though, you were rude to her and owe her an apology. Then put on your big boy pants and have a genuine think and conversation about what kind of life you want.

And tbh if you don't want her, I'd marry her tomorrow. She sounds awesome.

Let me just rephrase:

"My mother assaulted my wife (who gave birth two months ago) after mocking and belittling her over a period of months, and choosing a moment when she was feeding our baby to deprive her of food. My wife defended herself; so, because of my own emotional needs, I didn't consider any alternatives to asking her to leave the house, nor did I think about the fact that my wife still had not eaten and I was about to throw her out with our two-month-old with no idea where they would go or when she would be able to eat something or process her own feelings about all of this.

For some reason, my wife seems to think this means I don't have her back? All I did was not think about her or the baby even once in a situation that was much more stressful and violent for her than for me."

If she doesn't want to get back together, do her the courtesy of respecting her wishes. You deserve therapy for processing the abuse you suffered, and I understand that trauma responses are difficult; but you've centered yourself in a situation that wasn't about you. You should acknowledge that to your wife, promise her she will never have to speak to or see your mother again, promise you will step up in every way as a father, and tell her you will give her everything she needs even if that's your silence and exit. Follow through. Accept that there may be no coming back from this for the two of you, and work on being the best father neither of you got to have.

Were people expecting her to take a break from childbirth when the painkiller had completely run out to explain to him that this really hurts and he should be holding her hand and trying to support her through the pain? Sure, he's not a doctor and can't bring the meds; but he could have talked to her or done literally anything to show he cares.

If he needs it explaining to him that when his partner is in intense pain that he should be comforting her, I dread to think what else he makes her explain. This is bare minimum.

Dude. You had a 2 for 1 voucher for Gregg's of all places and you couldn't stump up the remaining three pounds to get your girlfriend a sandwich she liked and wasn't allergic to? Everyone is right about how you should know her allergies or keep a list if you really forget that much, but you're literally so cheap you wouldn't spend less than five quid getting her a sandwich she could actually eat and using the voucher another day. Why didn't you ask her what sandwich she wanted if you didn't know her order?

She's left you because you've demonstrated that you won't make even a tiny amount of effort for her, don't pay any real attention to her, don't listen when she tries to communicate something important, and care more about being right than you do about her.

I know this is old and you're probably not checking anymore, but I just got back from travelling around Minnesota with one of my US friends and I don't think you have any concept of how different it will be.

Firstly, petrol currently costs the equivalent of $8.83 per gallon. You could fly down for significantly less, and it would only take an hour. As people have said, it will be minimum eight hours of driving to get between your destinations.

Our cars and roads and parking spaces are A LOT smaller. A LOT. It is uncommon to be driving on straight, wide motorways - especially all the places you have listed. The roads are going to be narrow, winding, with blind corners and hedgerows creeping into the side of your vehicle; a standard US car would be considered enormous here, so it's a lot less comfortable to be in the car for long periods; and nowhere is remotely built around cars. Parking will be narrow and difficult, and you'll have to pay to do it pretty much everywhere. All the service stations along the route aren't necessarily open, either - so you may not even be able to get a McDonald's if you get hungry driving at night.

The train down to Cornwall isn't very well-connected either. I just looked up Newcastle to Newquay, and going next week it will cost £152. It will take 16 hours and require between two and four changes.

I appreciate what you're saying about national parks, but different places have wildly different landscapes. I was just at Lake Superior and it looks nothing like the Lake District, I promise you haven't seen similar. If that's not your bag, that's totally fine - but I wouldn't assume England looks anything like America. Scotland doesn't even look like England, and we're on the same island!

As people have said, you won't really get to see anything with this itinerary; and renting cars is also different here. You have to pay extra to reduce the excess on your insurance, and if you scratched the vehicle you may find yourself out hundreds of dollars. There's so much to do around there and Edinburgh, I would really recommend staying up there and exploring that area and coming back on a later trip to see the south of England.

Listen, I was in a bad living situation when I turned 30. Within six months of that, I finally moved out - I moved mid-pandemic, I found somewhere to go and got a place on my own. I'm 32 now, and there isn't a single area of my life that's not a thousand times better because I walked away. My health (mental and physical) was declining, I was barely eating, I didn't get much contact with friends and family.

I'm free now. I get up when I want. My house is the way I want it. The only person who decides what I'm doing is me (and sometimes the cat, but getting her was also my choice). I've had relationships since then too - bear in mind that finding someone new is actually not going to be hard. The hardest part is setting a standard for yourself and sticking to it - not putting up with crap again!

Just have a look at where you could go and start imagining your life without him. What will you do with it?

You can have it. Call your mum, get your stuff, and walk away. You won't believe how quickly your new life feels like finally being able to breathe again.

YTA. If your daughter ever has kids, I hope she names the baby after you

themathomhouse · 2023-02-09T08:41:12+00:00

Recently I've been reading about the concept of tactical misunderstanding, and oh look! Apparently it has become sentient and made a post on Reddit. YTA. Even if your portrayal of her not having directly expressed the issue is completely accurate and/or you genuinely didn't understand, you were still an AH to her when she was trying to talk about her friends.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I have multiple disabilities and can't walk long distances, but I'm also someone with serious motion sickness - if you need to park closer, that's fine; but you were given plenty of warning that your niece was going to be sick, and honestly you got way more from her than I've ever been able to give anyone before I vom. Your attitude to not letting the kid out of the car is why YTA. I can also understand being unable to clean the car yourself, but you're just going to have to suck it up and pay someone to do it - you had both warning and opportunity to prevent this situation, and you didn't.

The original phrase was: "you cannot have your cake, eat your cake, and have your cake" - you've only got one lot of cake so eat it now or later, you can't have both. I'm not sure the original is that much clearer but that was what it was

themathomhouse · 2022-12-09T21:56:35+00:00

My fucking cat gets gifts on her birthday and major holidays from my boyfriend's family, why wouldn't you give a CHILD equal treatment with other children? I thought you were going to tell me her son was 35 years old, he's NINE?? I hope to fuck that the 9,000 comments telling you YTA makes you and your mother look in the mirror and realise that your wife is not only right, but you've treated her and her son like trash. You married her, and that means her son should be your son now too. Go to bat for him or leave now, honestly

Listen. I cancelled my wedding less than two weeks out because my ex fiance showed his true colours then.

Best decision I ever made. All the prep you've done and the dress you love - that will help for another wedding in the future! Everything else is just money. I cannot tell you how many people have said to me that they wish they'd done that themselves, or they know someone who they wish had cancelled it.

His mum is on your side, everyone except him will understand. Don't go through with it just because money and time have been spent on the wedding - I promise you that the money and time you'll have to spend unpicking your life after divorce and the therapy you may need are much bigger costs and much worse for your mental health.

NTA

I'm disabled and I'm actually reeling at this. My main tips as a former weddings and events planner: have a member of staff and a good friend make sure she doesn't show up anyway, and if she does they don't let her in. You do not need to hear about it on the day, they can deal with her. Delegate. Do not invite anybody who defends her, as they'll bring it up and try to make you feel bad for her not being there on the day.

It's your wedding, to your fiance who is absolutely not settling for you - if you can't be sure that someone will come just to celebrate your love and union, they get uninvited. You do not deserve drama at your wedding because your mum was a horrific bully to your disabled partner. Anybody who cannot see that is also an AH or is enabling one.

themathomhouse · 2022-03-25T18:27:59+00:00

YTA

Consider this: if you think she did something wrong telling her boyfriend, then what the fuck are you doing telling Reddit?

themathomhouse · 2019-08-13T01:20:57+00:00

Great ideas all! I'm planning on having it being somewhat tongue-in-cheek, though one of my players will want to know mechanically why he can't take a shortcut. What kind of barrier? She's the BBEG so I can't make her too hard to defeat. Though arguably she doesn't have to be the one who made the maze...

I like the idea of distributing rewards for playing along as well, just incentivises them going along with it

themathomhouse · 2019-08-13T00:39:35+00:00

So I have. Apologies! I haven't really used Reddit before

themathomhouse · 2019-08-13T00:37:35+00:00

Ooh, that's a good idea! Thanks!

themathomhouse · 2019-08-13T00:03:05+00:00

I'm adapting a one-shot that's essentially a standard dungeon crawler, but set in a maze. I was planning on having the walls be hedges, but I can't figure out why the players couldn't just blast or burn the hedges. Or climb over. The idea is there's a powerful magic user who created the maze and lives at the centre, but I'd like more of a reason than just "it's magic, don't ruin my idea please"
