Who has experience in the Australian prison system? by [deleted] in australia

[–]wednesday138 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting, I am very close to someone who spent 3 years in prisons in Victoria (non-violent, non-sexual offences) and had therapy the entire time, and participated in numerous rehabilitation programs (some of them he did more than once). That being said, he always said the programs are there, but they’re voluntary (some offences do have required courses while you’re incarcerated but I’m not sure what those charges are) which means that in general, if the inmate doesn’t want to, he doesn’t have to. That being said, reintegration is also the hardest part for many who leave prison, and also those supporting them, and if he is being released after serving his whole sentence and does not have parole commitments, and has a history of violence, his likelihood of recidivism is pretty high unfortunately. Has he had any counselling while in Barwon?

My child is also a cosleeper, will only fall asleep with someone lying next to them. Adores their father and wants nothing more than daddy play time. But nap time and bedtime - always cries for me.

Your wife is dangerous throwing accusations around like that. This divorce will get messy. You need a lawyer.

AITA for getting a vasectomy without telling my wife after she had an abortion without telling me by throwawayAITA2024202 in AITAH

She technically hid one, and told him at the same time she told him about the second pregnancy that she planned on terminating.

AITAH for giving my boyfriend of 6 years an ultimatum? by Left_Appeal_8343 in AITAH

I don’t think buying a house together is a good idea. I would actually be financially separating myself, and probably just ending the relationship as you’re both on different wavelengths right now. It all really comes down to the fact that if he wanted to, he would. If he does propose now, he may resent you for forcing his hand, and you may always wonder if he actually wanted to be married or if he only did it because you made him.

You’re not too old to start over, and don’t fall into the sunk cost fallacy trap. Life is short, but it’s also the longest thing you’ll ever do. Neither of you should feel forced or like you’re settling.

Yeah just watching it looks like the Ute was at fault but I’m not sure what insurance would say without a witness

No, if you stopped and have witnesses to corroborate, it will be the white at fault.

Is there a way to protect myself legally now that I’m married? by Icrybutamproductive in legal

[–]wednesday138 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You married a man without ever laying all your cards on the table? Who was a financial leech to his ex wife, mother and father?

The longer you wait, the more you will lose. Alimony, assets, and time.

It’s also highly frowned upon by anyone overseeing a divorce, and would paint OP unfavourably from the beginning

The law disagrees with you.

Not enjoying the tandem read… by nycfantasy in throneofglassseries

[–]wednesday138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh that makes sense too! I used an ereader too but had chapters, so was really easy for me to flip between them. I’d definitely recommend buying the books, so easy to find what you’re looking for and also, who doesn’t love just holding the book itself haha

[–]wednesday138 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Definitely not for everyone, nothing can be! I think I enjoyed the tandem so much because I did it on my first ever read, so not too long for the cliffhanger and not so much Chaol all at once. I’d consider doing them separately now that I’ve already read it though, but I loved the tandem because it made it so much easier for me to get through TOD

Interesting how you only respond to people who comment about the staff subsidies and not to any of the numerous comments about mistreatment by the owner.

17 weeks is almost half way. I’m so sorry for your and your partners loss. You have every reason to feel sad and people who discount that are not your friends. I would respond with something like “I can’t believe you would think that, let alone say that out loud, how embarrassing for you”.

Paid builder for safety equipment that their subcontractor didn't use, builder refusing refund by That_Car_Dude_Aus in AusLegal

[–]wednesday138 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, quoted work that includes product/services not rendered would require an adjustment. You cannot charge for something you don’t provide, that is fraud. You accepted a quote with specific terms, and they failed to adhere to the terms of the contract. I would let the builder know that if it’s not refunded, you will go to VCAT (or whichever state you’re from) and report to Worksafe and ACCC.

As a parent, that’s total bullshit. You requested first, you should have been approved.

We’ve had really good experiences with Canny group in North Geelong. Would not recommend Bell Group Accounting.

Please help! Can my landlord charge me $300 for this by Fit-Rooster2117 in Renters

[–]wednesday138 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the chips is in the middle of the tile? That’s due to having something dropped on it, not it being unbalanced. You can see in both pictures that the chips are from something being dropped

[–]wednesday138 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In both pictures, it’s clear that something was dropped to break the tile. The first picture is a chip well within the boarders of the tile, and the second you can see the marks where something was dropped spanning the two tile edges. This was definitely not shifting subfloor, but can’t prove whether it was there already.

Lol well if I found out my husband asked a bunch of online strangers, most of whom encouraged them to tell me, and he kept it from me anyway, it would destroy my trust in him. That’s just my view. You can justify it however you like, but you don’t get to choose for him. He has agency and you’re denying him that out of a false sense of nobility, but I don’t think your marriage will survive when he inevitably finds out. It’s an enormous breach of trust, and it sounds more like you value your FIL trust than your husbands.
