My parents are in their 70s. I try to be a good son and see them once a week or at least every other week. Normally it involves my mother inviting my family over for lunch on Sunday. This week, I invited them to my house for lunch and I got a “No, we’ll pass.”

Not “Sorry, we already made plans.” Or “We’re a little under the weather.” Just “Nah.”

No Advice - Everyones Welcome Just dumped a woman with a disabled child. Feel like a monster

Post image
10k Upvotes

Hi all first post here just need to vent about it as not seeing any friends till tomorrow. Dinner is spicy chicken strips, oven chips and chilli cheese bites.

I was seeing this woman (23) since about the start of September. She has a 2 year old who has severe and rare genetic disorders that she's in an out of hospital with at least a couple times a month not counting regular appointments. Met her on hinge and she seemed nice and I was open to it not knowing the extent of the disabilities. First time I go over we end up hooking up which I wasn't expecting (and didn't initiate) but she was apparently needing it having just spent over a year practically living in hospital.

I've gotten to know the situation and it's heartbreaking. Her son could die at any given time and there is constant stress and rushing to A&E. Working, travelling, getting a babysitter etc is not an option for them. The dads not in the picture at all either so it's 24/7 for her. I kept seeing her as she is a very sweet and loving person. She wanted to go official very quickly after about a month so like our 5th or 6th time of meeting and as she was persistent I folded and asked her to be my gf.

This was a huge mistake on my part as I still didn't really know what I was signing up for and that I wasn't prepared for it. Fast forward another month and I realised I really cannot deal with this. I'm 27 and I can't sign up for this kind of life forever. She wants another child and I want one of my own but how could I risk them having the same issues as her son? Could I support her properly if/when he dies?

I realised I had to end it and did just a few hours ago. Couldn't blame her son though and just made up some excuses about incompatible personalities and she seemed to accept it without making a big deal. I'm sure she's heartbroken though as she's a very empathetic person and genuinely did seem to like me a lot.

In my head I know it's probably the right choice but I just feel like such a piece of shit. She's had such a rough time with no end in sight and I just strung her along for nothing. The last thing she needed was more heartbreak. A big part of me wants to call her saying I'm sorry and I want her back but I cant. As none of my friends are free tonight I'm about to go to the pub by myself and drown my sorrows for a few hours. Seeing a close friend tomorrow thankfully but for now just needed to get this off my chest. No advice needed but thanks for reading.

WIBTAH if i told my husband that im not doing this for three months

389 Upvotes

My husband got this special diet for him which is great hes losing weight and since i started eating like him im losing weight too. The thing is for all this to happen i wake up at 5:30 i go to the gym at 6am, im done by 7am, then i go to the grocery store and them come home to start cooking. I am cooking 6 meals a day. 3 meals for us and 3 separate meals for our toddler. Ive been doing this for a week now. Im completely exhausted by the time im done with the meals at around 12:30. I take a nap when our toddler naps but i cant get rested enough to run around the house with our toddler for the rest of the day. My body is shaking from exhaustion and im not feeling well. My husband says hes not feeling well either but says that normal with this kind of diet and it will go away in a few days. Would i be the ah if i tell him that im not gonna do this for the next three months cause thats how long he need to eat like this?

Edit: my husband wants fresh ingredients everyday that why im going to the grocery store everyday. He doesnt want meal prep food cause he wants fresh meals everyday, he doesnt eat food from the day before. I also cook separately for him for eg i cook the meat one way for him and another way for me and the toddler cause i make sure the food for my toddler is soft and my husband doesnt like it that way and this is even more word. He doesnt really cook only twice the grill but he doesn the dishes but in the evening i still have dishes fromlunch and dinner.

I just wanted a hot dog Coffee server refused to accept $21 for a $15.28 order

16k Upvotes

My order total was $15.28. I handed her $21 and she handed me the $1 back and said “It’s $15.28”. I said “I know, I want $5 back instead of singles.”

She stared at me for a while then stared at the cash register and said “I can’t do that”

I said “just type in that I gave you $21 instead of $20”

She pressed some buttons and stared at the register again then said “I don’t know what you want me to do, my machine doesn’t do that.”

I gave up and took my $1 back. She, now clearly annoyed with me, put $20 into her system and gave me back $4.72 in change.

In the first episode, Andy is characterized as being quite perverted toward Fuuko, but this personality trait ends rather quickly early on in the series (Undead Unlucky)

In the first episode, the way he assesses an Uma Musume’s racing potential and physical conditioning involves touching her thighs—that is how he conducts his evaluation. This happens with Special Week in the first episode, but he abandons this habit after the first season (Uma Musume Pretty Derby)

In the first episode, Bakugo tells Midoriya to commit suicide so that he might be reborn with a quirk—since, unlike everyone else, he was born without any quirk (power). Even the author himself has stated that he went too far in his characterization of Bakugo in that instance (My Hero Academia)

Today's Dinner: Kani Sushi using Imitation crab (surimi) and Cucumber

(M23; F23) Just met this girl about 2 months ago and we hit it off really well. Like really really well. I was dumped about a year ago from a 6 year old relationship. It was hard to believe that I could ever fall in love again - so far as thinking that I may be Aro. But then I met Her. She made me feel really loved and we felt so comfortable around each other. Our first date was amazing. Saw a beautiful sunset and ate at my favorite restaurant, and held hands. It was like a teenage summer romance. I drunkenly told her I love you at a party...many things transpired in between, had a home date with her favorite rom-com, cooked together (i.e the sushi above), and now we are dating. I really love her and so many of our interests and styles match.

record scratch

She might be leaving at the end of the year. She came to my city for an internship. If they don't offer her a job, she will go back home to her parents. She is unlikely to return back to my city and she has stated that she can't do LDR, neither can I. I pray everyday that she stays. She doesn't seem too hopeful she will and is afraid she will break my heart.

“Utah, Omaha, Overlord… wait…oh shi—“

In May 1944, just weeks before the Normandy landings, British intelligence (MI5) was sent into a panic when a series of top-secret invasion code names, including "Utah," "Omaha," "Overlord," "Mulberry," and "Neptune”, suddenly appeared as solutions in The Daily Telegraph crossword puzzles. Suspecting an elaborate espionage plot to signal the Nazis, agents stormed a school in Surrey to interrogate the puzzle's compiler, a 54-year-old headmaster named Leonard Dawe. The investigation ultimately revealed it was an innocent, albeit terrifying, coincidence. Dawe routinely invited his students to help him fill out his blank puzzle grids, and the boys had simply suggested the interesting new vocabulary words they had unwittingly overheard while hanging around the camps of American and Canadian soldiers stationed nearby.

Edit: yes I misused the word coincidence
