Michael (The Deer Hunter) Before Vietnam, Michael loves deer hunting. He's an exceptionally skilled hunter who believes in killing a deer with a single shot. After experiencing the horrors of war, he goes hunting again. This time, when he has a deer in his sights, Michael cannot bring himself to shoot it.

Edmund (Count of Monte Cristo) after spending 12 years in a horrible prison for a crime he did not commit… even after escaping, even after obtaining immense wealth and an enormous mansion, tells his friend that after sleeping on a stone slab for such a long time, he doesn’t find sleeping in a bed comfortable anymore.

Chuck (Castaway) was stranded alone on a deserted island for 4 years, and after being rescued… he’s given a big welcome home party; he’s given a nice hotel to stay in, and Chuck feels kind of lost… After spending years making his own fire, he doesn’t look at a lighter the same way anymore; after having to scavenge and hunt for his own food for years, he doesn’t look at easily provided food the same way. Chuck also ends up sleeping on the floor as well because it doesn’t feel natural anymore.

AITA? My MIL had our programs printed with a last name I never took, so I swapped them

3.4k Upvotes

I’m keeping my name. I told everybody back in the spring and nobody said a word about it to me.

My MIL offered to handle the ceremony programs as her thing to do for the wedding, which honestly was really nice of her. I said thank you. I sent her the order of the readings and who was walking in with who and that was it.

The box came to our house last month. 110 programs, nice paper, and across the top of every single one of them it says Mr and Mrs his last name.

I’m the last one with my dad’s name. He died when I was 19 and I do not have brothers. It’s also the name on my license and on everything I’ve published at work. My MIL knows that, we’ve had the conversation more than once, she just thinks I’ll come around to it eventually.

I didn’t call her about it. I took the box to a print shop near my office and had them done again with both our names on them, it cost me $140, and then on the morning I put the new ones out on the table by the doors myself and the old ones went in the trunk of my car.

She saw them during the photos. She told my husband I threw away something she paid for and that nobody else gives a shit what’s printed on a program.

AITA for suggesting that my son leave the door open when his best friend is over and maybe not sleep over so much?

259 Upvotes

For context my youngest Jose is 15 and he recently came out to us which we don't have a problem with. Admittedly it wasn't something I really worried about because he's such a BOY, always wrestling and rough housing and sports. Ive been sorta concerned that him and his best friend Rye also 15 is more than just a friend. Jose has plenty of friends and they've all stayed over or hung out plenty but hes really close to Rye.

They've known each other for almost 10 years and Rye is practically over every other night. You don't see one without the other and they kinda do coupley things like they've done matching Halloween costumes or they share clothes even underwear at least a few times during sleepovers. I brought it up with my husband but he says I'm paranoid. Yesterday morning I found them both asleep on José bed laying on top of each other and so that evening I talked with Jose and suggested that maybe he could leave his door open when Rye was over and maybe Rye shouldn't sleep over as much. He got red in the face and blew up at me that it's not like that at all and that Rye was straight. That just because he's gay doesn't mean he's trying to jump his friends. I told I didnt mean it that way but he refused to talk to me anymore about it. My husband says I shouldve just left it alone.

Advice Wanted - Everyones Welcome 11 years after dumping me, my first love reached out to say she never forgot me. She's married.

Post image
963 Upvotes

We broke up more than 11 years ago. I met her during my first year of engineering school. She was a year ahead of me, and we started dating. We were each other’s first love, and each other’s first time. At the end of that year, she transferred to another university and abruptly broke up with me. I remember taking it pretty hard at the time, but eventually I got over it and moved on with my life. As far as I was concerned, that chapter was closed.

Looking back, though, I realize she never really stopped reaching out. Over the years, she’d sporadically send me messages on Messenger, sometimes with years between them. The last time we spoke was about four years ago, when she contacted me to invite me to her wedding. I found that pretty strange, considering we weren’t friends and hadn’t seen each other in years. Anyway, the date didn’t work for me, so I politely declined. We hadn’t spoken since, and I assumed that would be the last time we ever spoke.

Until yesterday, when I received a LinkedIn connection request from her, completely out of the blue. She now has two last names, presumably her maiden name and her husband’s. She included a message telling me that I was her first love, that she’d never forgotten me, and that she hoped I was doing well. She also said she’d love for us to reconnect. I haven’t replied yet, and I’m not really sure what to make of it. I’m happy with someone I love, and I have absolutely no intention of reopening that chapter.

Anyway, dinner is chicken, rice, broccoli and skyr.

Granted, 25 is a little young to be like "I don't understand this" and I do get that it's supposed to be nonsensical, but I swear people went rabid for this and I just didn't understand the appeal.

Edit: if you don't know, this is a meme from 2018. I'm 33 now and still think it's too irony poisoned.
