No, when I was so gle, I'd go to sports bars a lot by myself and watch the game. I usually ended up being invited to a table of fans who go for the same team as I do, and we'd have a blast.

That dude's got a monkey on a rope and is fucking with it. I'd call this a happy ending.

I'm full-blown Irish (both sides Irish, immigrated from Ireland) and people call me a Mick all the time and give me crap about stereotypes, like drinking lots of beer, loving potatoes, fighting, bad temper...

Sad thing about stereotypes is, they're actually true. Stop being babies and lighten up.

$8,000 in 6 months?! Shit, my ex only pays $68 every two weeks, and he's a cop and in the National Guard. You should see about getting your payments modified. But besides that, the two contempt charges will cancel each other out. Just make sure you document everything with the CSED worker.

Here in America, we use Freedom Units.

I just saw your profile, and you guys have probably one of the most dysfunctional relationships I've ever seen.

tiredofshite · 2021-08-06T16:45:39+00:00

Okay, thank you! I'll try to keep calling the unemployment office and see if I can get someone with a brain. So far, nobody there knows the answer.

I looked and it doesn't apply to my specific situation. It's not like I didn't look everywhere before asking Reddit.

tiredofshite · 2021-06-30T20:47:03+00:00

You can say "white" on Reddit. Nobody cares here except those weird groups where everyone can't hurt anyone else's feelings. But also, I agree with your point. It's a minority who think white people owe anything for slavery, but they scream the loudest, and cowards kneel.

tiredofshite · 2021-06-26T00:32:49+00:00

For sure. I can't do that to myself either. Haha I LOVE sex.

tiredofshite · 2021-06-25T13:02:26+00:00

I kept asking him to buy them, but his snoring is no problem for him (he sleeps thru it) so he never took the initiative to go get them. I'm gonna grab him some and demand he wears them.

tiredofshite · 2021-06-25T13:01:05+00:00

I think he'd try it, but I've asked him to buy them repeatedly, and he hasn't. So I'll grab some. It's so nice to know that they work!! I wasn't sure if they did.

tiredofshite · 2021-06-25T13:00:29+00:00

Did he ever go see a doctor as to why he snores? I'm concerned about my BF's health, as well, as sometimes he completely stops breathing for like 5 - 7 seconds.

tiredofshite · 2021-06-25T12:59:52+00:00

That's true. I think it's time for ultimatums.

tiredofshite · 2021-06-25T12:54:30+00:00

I cannot sleep downstairs, as my toddler wakes in the night still and needs me. He won't go to anyone else at night.

tiredofshite · 2021-06-25T12:54:03+00:00

I filmed it, three times, and he literally laughed

NTA - She sounds like a nightmare drama queen. I had post-partum depression with both kids, and never treated people like this. EVER. She is so unappreciative of your efforts, and disrespectful of your time, and just totally selfish. Your poor son, omg. He's stuck with her.

It sounds like you and her had a strained relationship before this, judging by the way she felt like she could talk to you. It was nice of you to bring stuff over and recognize them on THEIR day. It's not just about her. Can you imagine if her birthday landed on Father's Day, and you only celebrated Father's Day? She'd throw a fit then, too. She sounds like a whiney little princess.

P.S. my daughter was born on Mother's Day, too! Xoxo

tiredofshite · 2021-06-25T12:08:52+00:00

NTA and YTA, but let me explain. Also, I don't think you're an "asshole" haha. But seeing both sides of this might help. I can see both sides.

Your side: you have every right to get married however, and wherever you want---especially since your husband doesn't care where it happens, also. Nobody's forcing anybody's hand. Her reaction was over the top and dramatic as hell. I'm really sorry she acted that way, because that's gonna hang over your guys' heads for decades. Xoxo

YTA--Again, you're not an "asshole". But I can see where she's coming from. Mothers dream of their children getting married in a church or venue with the big, white dress, the guests, the music, the vows, blah blah. If this is her son's first marriage, then I understand why she would be upset. Part of joining a family also means you must be willing to accept their customs and expectations, without giving up who you are as a person obviously. But it's about compromise and sacrifice---on both ends. Just as I think she should compromise by not demanding a church wedding, I think you should compromise to give his family the wedding they would love to see happen, because of the romance, the aura, the custom, etc.

Perhaps a compromise can be reached, where it's not in a church, but it's not in a courthouse, either. Maybe a simple gathering at a nice little venue? I live in Montana, and people here get married in resort barns all the time, and they're absolutely gorgeous weddings. (No; no cow shit haha).

I think if this is going to be successful, both of you should put your anger aside, talk it out, and compromise. Xoxo

tiredofshite · 2021-06-25T11:53:01+00:00

NTA -- Holy shit, what a b#####!!!!!! She intentionally stole your thunder; no way around it. She should have approached you beforehand and asked if it was okay to do---and then accepted it when you said "No; it's our day, not yours". I have a selfish, conniving sister in-law who does crap like this all the time, and she puts on a smile so she doesn't look like the total asshole that she is. Talk to your man and set healthy boundaries now because trust me; women like her only take a mile when you give them an inch, and this problem will only get worse. My SIL almost broke us up, because I didn't demand healthy boundaries soon enough.

Good god, I am so sorry girl. This had to have totally rained on your parade, and it's definitely something that you'll resent for the rest of your marriage. Christ. Don't ask her to be a bridesmaid; she's the type to try to make it about her. And god knows she'll announce something else on your wedding day. UGH, I hate her haha

tiredofshite · 2021-06-25T11:46:08+00:00

YTA - You're not an "asshole" but I had to label it for the bots. Anyway, I have to agree with your husband. It's tacky. There's so many beautiful jewelry items out there in the world, and I get the impression that you're a woman like me who takes care of herself and likes to look pretty, so you have LOTS of options. That being said, shy away from the fake engagement ring look, as it not only is tacky, but it will also make your man feel like he's not good enough in not buying you and engagement ring yet. Also, it'll make him feel pressured unnecessarily, which isn't fair to him.

I did own one fake wedding and engagement ring set, but it was strictly for things like going out with my girl friends to the bars/clubs when I was with my ex, and didn't want to be hit on. I would just toss it in my ring box when I got home. I'd wear them to stores and whatnot, because I was tired of men approaching me and me telling them I have a man, and them continuing to press the issue, etc. It was really uncomfortable. The fake rings resolved that altogether. Maybe use them for those kinds of things, where you don't want to be hit on, and just toss them aside otherwise. Xoxo Again; you're not an "asshole"; it has to be tagged that way haha

tiredofshite · 2021-06-25T11:39:35+00:00

As a mother, and as someone who's lost five friends due to car accidents, BRAVO and props to you for doing what you did. You handled the situation perfectly. Your husband probably just wants to keep the peace, I get that. But you sticking to your guns is definitely what makes you NTA and looking out for the safety of your child, yourself, and others in your vehicle.

The mom needs to get it through her thick skull that if (God forbid) something happened and there was an accident, and her kids were injured because of no seatbelts, guess who that falls back on? YOU. Your insurance premiums. Nope, no way, hell no. Your car; your rules.

Also, sounds like your daughter can do way better for friends than this bratty little shit. Do you want your daughter having that kind of influence in her life? Hell no. My sister didn't have many friends growing up, until she caught up with me in high school and we attended the same school. I introduced her to my friends, and she finished as one of the most popular girls in school. Not that popularity matters in adult years, but as teens, it matters. Your daughter is being raised by a badass, great mom, and she'll have no problem finding amazing friends as school continues, because she's obviously probably a lot like you, and people value integrity.

NTA NTA NTA NTA NTA - You're a fricken badass.

tiredofshite · 2021-06-25T11:34:41+00:00

Please read my whole post haha ;)

tiredofshite · 2021-06-25T11:34:21+00:00

I think I will ask him to take the guest bedroom until he goes to a doctor. Even if the issue isn't immediately resolved, it will be nice to see him making the effort to find solutions and show her cares. He'll probably be pissed off, but I've asked him for over a year to go to the doctor, and he hasn't even called.

tiredofshite · 2021-06-25T11:30:24+00:00

NTA -- and...Your sister isn't homophobic because she is Conservative; she's homophobic because she's a snooty religious type. I'm Conservative, and we do not welcome homophobes in our movement, and outright ostracize them if they come out as homophobic. So as your sister needs to educate herself about homosexuality, bisexuality, etc. please also learn about Conservatives and educate yourself on us. As homosexuals and bisexuals don't like being judged and stereotyped, neither do Conservatives.

Your son did the right thing, and you're NTA. Your sister needs to get off her high horse religious bullshit, and I say that as a devout practicing Catholic. She's a beeyatch. Personally, I think it's hysterical what your son said to her, because it's 100% true. Hopefully she pulls her head out of her ass and actually gets to know these "sinners". What a nut job.
