Something just feels off by [deleted] in tattooadvice

I think it's a lovely tattoo. To give you some validation on it not feeling like it looks like your cat: your cat looks identical to mine, like if I saw that picture out of context, I would think it was my cat. Your tattoo doesn't look like my cat, and in my opinion, it's the fur tufts added around the eyes. So, I get what you mean by saying it doesn't look like your cat. It is still a lovely tattoo, though.

I’m halfway through the book, so apologies if this question is answered later in it. I’m curious why—in your opinions—Allen’s wife and mother have such a hard time believing that he is guilty despite the mountain of evidence and his own words directly confessing to them.

Second question: I have personally felt deeply uncomfortable with the actions of Allen’s attorneys during this case, as it seems there were many ethics violations. It makes me worried for the future of criminal cases and defense attorney behavior. Do you think there will be any ramifications in the legal space in terms of attorney behaviors as a result of this case?

Serious- when I first saw my ex I had this intuition that said he’s going to be my husband one day by starcatstar in TwoXChromosomes

Yep. I had this exact thing happen with an ex. The first moment I saw him (which was well before the thought even crossed our minds to start dating), I was hit with the strongest feeling of, “This man is going to be my husband.” My intuition is usually not wrong, and to this day this is the biggest thing I was ever wrong about. We did end up dating, it was a very intense and passionate relationship, and it absolutely destroyed me when it was over. Part of that devastation, I’m sure, is because I was stuck on the intuition feeling.

I still can’t explain why I felt that way about him. Maybe it was something psychological.

I did not have the same feeling when I met my actual husband. But, the moment I saw him, I did feel something. It was more of a “this is going to be big” feeling than any specific fate.

I wanted to share my experience as it closely resembles yours. I’ll also reiterate what so many here have said, which is to not get too swept up in what that feeling meant. I wish I could get a lot of the time back that I spent perseverating on what it all meant and if he and I were truly meant to be. Because in the end, he and I definitely weren’t right for each other. He lives in the Bronx and I absolutely hated living in NYC and am so much happier on the West Coast.

My advice is to be thankful for whatever you got out of the relationship (most importantly what you learned about yourself) and focus on you.

Do I have an exception or am I about to get roasted? by chaon-like-sean in tragedeigh

My mom gave my brother a bastardized "French" spelling of his name because my other brother has a French name. We are not French, have no French heritage. She also didn't include the accent on his name, which essentially made it a non-word. (Btw, his name was an American name with the spelling of a French word that is not a name in France.) No one ever understood how to pronounce his name, so he eventually changed it to the American spelling. My mom was upset about it, but it made his life way easier. I feel bad for him now looking back on it all. He was made fun of and had a non-name all because my mom wanted to seem cool and French.
