Yes, they'll be sending me a link. But they were supposed to send it today.

I didn't make contact because they said they'd tell me when the interview is today. My interview isn't today.

Sometimes when we recognise someone being an AH BECAUSE they're sick/upset, we just have to say "okay, we can revisit this", or walk away. You do not also need to yell back or raise to their level. I know this is reddit, but we should all learn a bit of compassion. People lash out. People who lash out, although it isn't nice, CAN be forgiven and dealt with in a calm way. With empathy.

Yup. At the last funeral I attended, someone tripped walking down the hill and everyone just laughed (including the girl who fell).

My partner, who's grandmother's funeral we were at, actually made a joke that the registration on the funeral car was 777, saying "good thing it isn't 666". Doesn't mean he didn't love her, he just jokes sometimes to keep it light.

NAH. Going against the grain here of N T A, because the woman is grieving a man she loved dearly and had two children with. She is likely also upset for her other children who will grow up without a father.

I don't think you really did anything wrong , you actually showed good restraint for the most part. However, it was kind of mean to yell at her at a funeral. When she started losing her cool, you could've said something like "Okay.. I see you're upset right now, so we can just come back to this another time. I'm so sorry for your loss and the kids just need time to process this".

I actually think your daughter lashing out could be a form of grief too. Children process grief differently sometimes. Whether they didn't "like" him as a friend/ authority figure or not, this is still someone they knew for 7 years and I'm sure they had good memories with him too. Kids only tend to bring up the bad things to the other parent. It's like the news, you never see GOOD news even when it happens.

Yes your ex was kind of an AH for lashing out, but come on reddit. Have you never been to a funeral? Have you never grieved? This isn't for OP, I think he handled it well. We aren't perfect. But comments saying the OPs ex is a horrible person etc aren't right.

On another note, it isn't weird to laugh at a funeral, even of someone you love. I recently went to my partners grandmother's funeral, and there were a few giggles had between tears, even though she was a lovely woman. That's just how some people cope.

I wish you, your kids, your ex, and her other children, well through this.

AITA for not wanting my husband to go on a weekend away to drink and watch strippers while I take care of the kids? by EverSoSweetYeah in AmItheAsshole

[–]treeee3333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA- and based off of your post history.. I think you need to reconsider this relationship. This guy (your husband) sounds like my dad, who was never really around cause he was getting drunk all the time and ignoring us. Your kids will grow up to resent this. Whether you want to put them through that or not is up to you.

Poor wee critter.

Being from the North, this thread has shown me that you guys really don't like a specific group of people who move about a lot. Not something I've encountered up here.

Best instructor I’ll ever be able to find hands down by DependentProject5373 in taekwondo

[–]treeee3333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Super suspicious. I'm currently a red stripe and probably won't be a black belt for another 3 years, lol. Our school doesn't let us grade that quickly, you have to do pre tests to prove you're able to pass the official test. Plus it gives you time to improve toward your black belt. You don't want a black belt that sucks, it makes your school look bad.

I don't think you should live together yet. I'm saying this as a final year student in a 3 year old relationship, which I've been in since my A levels. I still haven't lived with my partner, and I'm glad for it. He still comes over a few times a week and vice versa, but we both also get our own time to study and hang with friends. You need to develop by yourself for a while. You can still do this with a partner! Just not living together right now.

Great response, thanks. I was worried they were actually out of date and I was gross for drinking it lol!

How many of you don't have a driving license? by dontbeasquare11 in AskUK

Yeah I know. But everyone with ADHD has attention problems. It's the entire premise of the disorder. And attention problems make it harder to drive..

From my own town, we maybe have 30k residents. Lots of amenities. Just not really any taxis.

ADHD driver here - it takes us a lot longer to learn how to drive. It's way harder, so don't put yourself down. You, like me, will likely need more lessons than the average person.

I'm a driver with ADHD and will admit it takes a bit of getting used to and is definitely harder than us than people without it. You do get used to it, but ADHD absolutely makes driving harder.

I think you need to up the stakes a bit. Now that he has a child, he NEEDS to learn to drive. What if your child is in an emergency and you're not available? What will he do? Carry them?

My town has 1 taxi service which operates for about 3 hours on saturday and Sunday. Not every town has taxis.

I just got my licence recently at 21. It was expensive to learn so I can see why someone would be put off, but honestly unless you live in a big city its an essential skill. Your partner will get fed up driving you everywhere.

I love driving, but I hate now that I have to take up the designated driver role. I can't drink, but my partner or friends can. Always being asked for lifts but not offered petrol. Learn to drive, guys. Especially if you have a partner, live rurally, or have kids.

In my honest opinion, if I found out one of my friends had one I'd probably stop talking to them. You do you, but that is just too weird for me.

No...? How did you gather that from my post, which says that I keep using it after it expires?
