2024.05.16 03:20 Mission-Can-8597 AITAH for wanting to tell on my cheating friend
I got to know one of my brother's friends (male) a while ago. He has a girlfriend, we all know each other now. Somehow, I ended up moving in with them recently.
Sometimes he tells her he's sleeping over in another town because of work, but in reality he's cheating. He used to tell me this kind of stuff before I moved in, and I always reproachrd him. He stopped mentioning this at all after I moved in; I either sense it or my brother basically tells me.
She once called him at night being hysterical, telling him to come home, to do a video call...etc. He came back and made her apologise. He was cheating that night.
I don't want to meddle because of the "bro-code" or whatever it is (tho I don't care much for that sort of thing). I'm no snitch, that I really care about. I also sensed a crush for her for a while, so that's an even stronger reason not to meddle as I might not be objective. Basically not my place.
I can't help but like throw hints here and there when we talk about general stuff, like "follow your instincts," etc.
I won't meddle in, but humor me. Her and I, we have a different way of communication. Without getting into too much detail, I can basically convey the message without being present or using direct language (no metaphysics, lol). But still, I won't do it.
He says he wants to marry her. He believes that a relationship and his sleeping around can and will coexist. "These dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree?" AITAH?

TODAY'S RECAP
I was so bored with the show today. Liam gets all up in Deacon's business. Luna worries she's pregnant. RJ fusses at Brooke for fussing at Zende. Even Steffy's confrontation with Sheila bored me bc it was so very predictable. Knowing the topics, someone could write a recap without even viewing the episode.RJ, Brooke, and Ridge at FC
RJ: MOMMMM! You shouldn't have fussed at Zende! 🤨 It's Luna's business. I want to respect her privacy. So, please stay out of it! 😦 I'm handling it. Gah! I don't need your help!Brooke: I had to! 😦
RJ: No. No you did NOT have to! (💭 Don't make me regret telling you.😕)
Brooke: We're FAMILY! He slept with your girlfriend! 👩I had to know what he would say for himself (💭 🫤 Not much.)
RJ: Nuh uh! You did not HAVE to know ANYTHING! (💭 Getting her to back off is not easy. Why does she have to know everything? 🫤)
I'ma draw a circle ⭕ around MY business and Luna's. That's called a BOUNDARY. This is you right here 👇 in the middle of OUR business. You need to get 👉 👉 👉 OUT. (💭 Okay, Reddit. That's what we wished he would have said 🫤.)
(What he really said, in the nicest way possible) Mommmmm. Don't do that. We need to respect Luna's privacy. I don't want you taking about it here or with dad.
Enter Ridge. 😀 What's going on? Something's up. What is it? 🧐 It's totally my business. Everything is. I get to butt in. That's my thing.
RJ: 🫤
Brooke: 🙄
Ridge: It's Luna right? 😀 Great gal! Office romance, huh. 👩❤️👨 I did that. I fell for this hot chemist 🔬😍. (Smoochy Smoochy 😘.)
RJ: (💭 Not your business 😒). Dad, it's not a BIG life or death thing, so can you just be cool with not knowing? 😐
Ridge: Nooo. Now I REALLY want to know!
RJ: It doesn't involve you two and it's not life or death, so. (💭 These two! Gah!)
Ridge: Ohhhh, I see. You're acting like a teenager, going to your mom for help.
Brooke: He's not in any kind of trouble 😐. (💭 Getting him to back off is not easy. Why does he have to know everything? 🫤)
Ridge: Alright. Look, your mom gives great advice. Listen to her! 😀 I'm here too if you want to talk. (Redditors who are not fast forwarding are surprised he's letting it go. It's so un-Ridge.)
You're doing so great! 😀 HFTF👗is great! 😃 You have a great team 🙂 and that ain't easy! Your collaboration is great! 😊 It's all great! 😀 Everyone else thinks you're great too! 😃 And you and Luna are great! 👩❤️👨 Keep up the great! 😁
RJ: With Hope's vision, anyone coul--
Ridge: Nah. Not anyone. You're GREAT!
Luna and Poppy at FC
Luna: Ohhhhhhhh noooooooo.😟 I think I might be pregnant.🤰I have this pregnancy test, but I think instead of taking it, we should just speculate back and forth.Poppy and Luna: (play 20 questions❓) We know you had sex❓ Yah 😟. With two guys❓Yah 😣. Did you use protection❓Yah 😢. Do you feel sick❓🤢 Yah yah yah! 🤢🤮 Have you ever felt like this before❓Noooooooooooooooo! 😩 It's a special, unique, new kinda sick! 😖
Luna: I don't want to mess up my life! 😫 What am I gonna doooooooo?! RJ just forgave me 😫.
Poppy: Oh! YAY! 😃👏👏👏 Told you so 😏.
Luna: I don't wanna baby! 👶🍼 Wah! 😩
Poppy: (💭 Yah. Obviously sweetheart. You might think your grown, but you're still a BABY! And kind of a big baby 🫤.) Don't get ahead of yourself. It could be something else. 🙄
Luna: Yah! 🙄 But nah 😞. Maybe I should just take the test? (💭 🤔)
Poppy: Yah. 😐
(⏰ Alarm rings.)
Luna: 😫 I can't look! 🫣 You look!
Poppy: 👀
Luna: 😟
Deacon and Liam at Il Giardino
Liam: Wtf are you doing? 🤨Deacon: Working. Living my life. Saving Sheila. 😏
Liam: (💭 I'ma jump right into his business bc we used to hang out back when I was married to his daughter.) No one but you is happy Sheila's alive. 😒
Deacon: (💭 Dude. How is this your business? 🤔) I'm thrilled 😃 she's alive and so is Finn! 👨⚕️
Liam: 🤨 Ohhh, hey, that Finn part, that won't work for Steffy 😡.
Deacon: You want me to wish someone dead? 💀 Nah.
Liam: Wellll, no but you've invented an imaginary version of Sheila! 😇 Sheila BAD! 👺 She did all the very bad 😈 things. Don't you get that? Amirite?
Deacon: But not ONLY the bad things. Also a good thing - tryna save Steffy.🦸♀️
Liam: But the bad is very BAD 👹. And how do you know she tried to save Steffy? 🤔 You have only her word! She could be making shit up 🫲 left and right 🫱! She could be spinning stories ✍️, telling tall tales, presenting you with her fantasy 🧙🪄 fiction, exaggerating 😦, LYING!
Deacon: Or not. Look, I'm happy she's alive! And I didn't listen to anybody. If I hadn't searched texts📱, credit card 💳 receipts 🧾, and if Finn and I hadn't tracked her down and saved her from being chained up ⛓️ in that warehouse, she really would be dead ☠️😵.
Liam: Yay Columbo. 🔎 But what about STEFFY? I'm concerned about STEFFY! I have STEFFY on the brain! Finn can't protect STEFFY (💭 so I will!)
Deacon: Steffy is fine. Gah. I know Sheila's psycho 😵💫 history (💭🪓➰🔪🔥). And she knows I'm not a big fan of the attempted murders and shit. I was like, babe. Stop. 🛑 Not cool. And she was like, for you and my son, okaaaay, fine, I'll stop. ppffrrtt. Sheesh. 🙄
So yah, she's changed. She hasn't sprouted angel 😇 wings 🪽 but she's no threat. And Steffy can be relieved that Steffy The Blade Forrester 😏 didn't kill 🔪 Finn's birth mother.
Liam: Not funny. 🤨 All Steffy wants is NO Sheila in their lives. So maybe you and Finn could at least lay off the happy dance!🕺🕺
Deacon: Steffy could choose to be open minded and at least give Sheila a chance.
Liam: Nah! 🤨
Deacon: I'm in a happy dance🕺, cartwheel🤸♂️, spike the ball 🏈 in the end zone kinda mood. So's Finn. 😃
Liam: 😒
Steffy and Sheila at Deacon's apartment
(Sheila flashes back to Deacon's latest proposal. Steffy knocks, then walks in).Steffy: YOUUUUUU! 😡😤 Alive and well! Blech! 🤮
Sheila: Hiiiiiii. I realize that you hate me, that you don't want to see my face, that you wish I were dead 💀, that all you can think about is the list of my violent 🪓➰🔪crimes against your family, but heyyyy. Let's chat. Why not? 🫲☺️🫱. I've been wanting to talk to you.
Steffy: Grrr! Snort! 😤
I hope you can at least understand Finn's feelings. He's jumping for joy 🤸♂️that I'm alive.
Steffy: 😡
Sheila: You too can feel the same if you just give a girl a chance, will ya? We can get our nails done 💅 and our hair cut 💇♀️💇♀️ together! I can be your BFF 👯, if you'll just overlook several instances of attempted murder 🪓, kidnapping ➰, arson 🔥, and what not. I'm all better 😇 now for real for real. I'm taking all soft and smooth and not choking 😵 you even a little. So, what'd ya say?
Steffy: Grrr! Snarl! Finn's emotions are all SCREWY, SCRAMBLED up, and FRIED by YOU! 🫨 He's essentially got fried egg 🍳brain! Huff! Puff! 😤
He's GOOD! 👼 He's a doctor!👨⚕️ He's saves people! That's his job! He NEEDS--
Sheila: Your support! Your understanding. (💭Your personality to be swapped out. 😒). He just needs a little--
Steffy: FINN NEEDS YOU 👉 and YOUR CRAZY ASS PSYCHO 🫨 BULLSHIT to STAY🫸 the iFUCK AWAY FROM HIM! 🤬 STAY OUT of our lives! Snarl! 😡
Sheila: (💭 This again. Reminds me of the time I shot 🔫🩸 this bitch. 🫤) I gave BIRTH to him. I--
Steffy: I! DON'T! CARE! 😤😡🤨 I DON'T CARE that YOU GAVE BIRTH to HIM! SOOOO FUCKING WHAT?! That means exactly NOTHING to ME! Grrrr! Growl! This stupid ass CONNECTION IS DONE! FINISHED! OVER! Got it BITCH? 😤🤨😡
Sheila: I'm his mother. You're a mother--
Steffy: DON'T TRY TO PLAY THE MOMMY CARD! YOU SHOT HIM!
Sheila: Well yah (💭 I was tryna shoot you). But that was 🫲 then. This 🫱 is now. Finn forgave me. ☺️ He's--
Steffy: HE'S kind and compassionate, unlike YOU! All you bring is LIES! MISERY! HEARTACHE! 💔 DESTRUCTION! 💥 TSUNAMI! 🌊 TORNADOS! 🌪️ And POOR WAIT STAFF CUSTOMER SERVICE! We could get pizza 🍕 again at the ONLY PIZZA PLACE IN LA! But you've DESTROYED our pizza outings that we just got back! We were FINALLY READY to venture into Il Giardino again. Now you've RUINED IT FOR MY FAMILY! ROARRRRRR!

Steffy: OHHHHHHH STFU about FRESH STARTS and FRESH IDEAS for TOPPINGS! I will NEVER try CHOCOLATE 🍫 or COCONUT 🥥 on MY PIZZA! It's just WRONG! Snarl! Snort! 😤 Grrr! 😡 Harumph!

Finn would prolly be mad 😠 and Deacon will scold me 🤨 and hafta bribe another judge. 👨⚖️ Phewy. 😕 Kidnapping ➰ is always an option, as long as they don't trace it back to me 😏. She's such a pain in my ass 🫤. I'll try to reason with her, but she's not exactly reasonable. Reformed me is an expert on reasonableness 😌.)
You're forgetting Finn saved me. He missed me and that changed him. He--
Steffy: He's DECENT! He's a DOCTOR. You ALWAYS SPEW the SAME STUPID INSANE GARBAGE. 🤮 Grrr! I gave FINN a CHOICE -- YOU or ME! He chose ME! And his SON! NOT YOU! WE are his PRIORITY! Harumph!
Sheila: Yah yah, as you should be, but he's made room in his heart ❤️ for me too. Why can't he have both? 😦
Steffy: NEVER! YOU are DEAD 💀to us. YOU don't MATTER. I don't care about you or what you do with your PATHETIC useless, pointless life. Growl! 😡

2024.05.16 03:19 FickleEye4184 My sister in law just texted me this.
This is what they texted me after all that happened.
This is the message i got today, from his sister, in her mom who is my mil and fil and her defense.
My MIL suggested to kill my unborn planned child, everybody in their family disrespected me. If you guys can, please look at my last thread on this forum. You will know the whole story behind this text. What do you guys think? Here is the message:
Hey xxx, I really tried my best to be friends with you and understand where your coming from but now I have to let you know that I cant believe you are causing so much disruption in my family. You are married in... your not even someone we have to love or get along with. In the beginning You disrespected our ENTIRE family. Who gets married randomly with no type of blessings from my family and then surprises the family with "This is my Wife" You are not even a child.. your a character who doesn't know its place or role in this story called life yet. Your very narcissistic, inconsiderate, and just plain ignorant to do this to a family better yet a child. A woman knows a child is gonna grow up and have questions about his family. So your not gonna be woman enough to answer those questions to leave him guessing... or you will probably lie and tell him how horrible we are when we did absolutely nothing that can cause my brother and baby to be separated from us for ever. We love him and wanna be able to have him grow up with us, You need to get your life together not for you but for the baby. Again We care for him and we love him, our issues have nothing to do with baby, for us not to see him, get to help raise him, introduce him as he is growing up to his only aunt and grandma and grandpa around is so childish. There is no reason what so ever for this behaviour, he is just a child who needs to be loved and cherished by his family who wish him nothing but the best. So im gonna leave you with a choice. Do you want to be a woman and give my nephew the opportunity to be loved by the entire family. Or be a child and think its all about you and keep him and my brother completely away from us. Knowing in the end baby is gonna have questions, so the choice is yours. Once again our issues have nothing to do with him. If you can be okay with that type of life, its going to be really hard for the both of yall.

2024.05.16 03:15 External_Summer_2959 I need prayers and I need words. I am under attack.
I (26F) left my relationship (28M) 2 weeks ago with our two baby daughters. It was very abusive. I have been reborn (about a year ago) and since then it got even worse and I felt the oppression and I had to put an end to it. I have watched as my faith has transformed everything around me. I know my relationship was holding me back from becoming my full potential that God has planned for me so leaving isn't the issue. But, finances are, & I have been tempted to make easy money by being sexual over video. I left with no money, no job, no car, no cell phone, no help with my kids, nothing. The rent is paid this month and next month it is all on me. I have used all state/church assistance I could already because he has been in & out the last year. As of now I am getting help with food. But, I need to make things happen for myself and I'm completely stuck. I have not ever believed in sex work. But, today, I had a mental breakdown. My kids are healing from their own trauma so it's been day in day out super demanding all while I'm also healing and trying to do everything I can and I feel like nothing is getting done or better.
I searched on Google How to make money the same day as a webcam girl. I only know about this line of work due to ex's porn addiction ironically. I've never done anything like this and I do not partake in watching it either. And I read a few answers but I felt this feeling creep over me that made me want to jump out of my own skin. Chills up my spine and everything. I know that the darkness this brings is real because I've seen it first hand. I really almost puked. I can't believe how that all made me feel.
I know God will provide and I've been steadfast in that up until today when I broke down. I just need some extra prayers over here to keep me going and bring me back to a place of hope. I thank anyone who takes the time to read this or give advice or pray.

2024.05.16 03:14 lunarbaby444 does it ever get easier?
i lost my father to suicide when i (23f) was 11. after he died, a part of me did too. particularly the childlike, and playful part of me. my dad was such a good father. he gave me nothing but good memories. i can't say that for most people in my life. i'll never forget coming home from 6th grade that day, my mom looking me in the eyes & telling me my father is dead, and the pure shock taking over my body. i remember standing in the shower, the cold water washing over me, while i replayed every recent moment i had with him, trying to figure out if i had done something wrong, why i wasn't enough. ever since he died, i feel like i've been frozen. i've had more losses since, but this sticks with me. it's like ice that won't melt or break. i wish he knew that there was help out there and that life is and can be beautiful. i know how hard mental illness is, hell i've been fighting to stay alive ever since he died. i just wish he could have fought harder for me, his only daughter who needed him. however, i know it wasn't his fault and the illness won. i just hope he is at peace now. i love you dad, i always will.

2024.05.16 03:14 ThrowRAcosmicoreo My husband (30M) is back to paying for OF. I (28F) don't know how to address it. Is it even worth it?
We discussed how I felt about this a few years ago when we were in the early stages of dating. I told him it made me uncomfortable and considered it cheating. He immediately deleted the account and ended his subscriptions to everything. Last week he was upstairs and forgot his phone while he was using the bathroom and I was downstairs and he asked he told me to go get his phone so he could respond to a “work email” notification he saw come through on his Apple Watch.
I value my privacy and his, and neither of us has ever been through each other’s phones. But as I picked up his phone to take to him I saw an email preview about resubscribing to some creator's account.
I was in shock but needed to quickly pull myself together to join a work call within two minutes, so I didn't have time to think about it. I'm still stuck on how I should address this and where our marriage stands. We've been married for almost 7 months, and together for over 5 years.
I need advice on how to go about talking to him.

2024.05.16 03:13 Authorrlee AITA for going full No Contact with my sister the same week as our grandmother’s funeral?
(I am SO sorry for the needed lengthy) Back Story & Context Leading To My Decision:
I (33F) have 1 sibling, “Sam” (36F). Although we share the same parents, our childhood & the way we were treated was incredibly different. Mainly because Sam had always been favored & treated far better than me. A fact that Sam refuses to acknowledge to this day.
Before & after my parents got married, it was agreed upon that they would not have children, until one day my mother “Susan” (66F) came up with the bright idea that if she gave her parents (“Norma & Gene”) a grand-baby they would finally love her. She went off the pill without telling my father, got pregnant, then had Sam. To no one’s surprise, Susan hated being a mom. So she would ship Sam across the country to Norma & Gene’s constantly, so much so, they saw her as THEIR child. And they showered her with love that Susan never even got a taste of. This led to Susan being aggressively jealous & resentful of her child.
Years later, my dad was tricked again into having me to “save their marriage.” They divorced when I was 3. All Sam ever knew from Susan was neglect, emotional & mental abuse from Susan, which only became worse when she could use “favoring” me as another way to hurt Sam. This was NOT a secret in my family, resulting in maltreatment towards me (either subconsciously or intentionally).
Abuse toward Sam turned physical. My father was given full custody of her when I was 8, and I was left with Susan for the next 2 years until she decided she wanted to move to San Francisco because she “deserved” a more glamorous life. I do not remember the years living with Susan, but recently one of my closest friends (of 25 years) said to me I practically lived at her house & she barely interacted with Susan throughout the entirety of our friendship.
To make up for Susan being an awful parent, Norma & Gene would dote on Sam & shell out a lot of $$$ to give her a very nice life (let me know if you want me to give a list of examples in an update), compare this to me when I barley received a kind word. They offered me money ONCE in my early 20’s to pay off my credit card debt I accrued in college as I had to pay all my own bills while working full time (I have been working since I was 15) and going to school full time. I am the only one in the family who worked in college, yet I am still the only one to graduate with honors. I accepted. I have never asked or been offered money since. I have paid for ALL my own bills since I left home @ 18 years old.
Despite the obvious disparities and constant hurt they put me through, I was an active member of the family who mainly kept her mouth shut. I attended family events unless I could not afford to go, I sent holiday gifts, called between 1-2x per month for an 1 hour+ phone call in which I most often bit my tongue unless it was to defend Sam as Norma did not agree with her parenting.
Something to note, in May 2021 my father had an accident that would lead to his passing in December 2021. The disagreements & Sam’s nastiness toward me after the accident and then his death further strained our relationship.
Fast forward to March 2023. An explosive incident at Susan’s home in front of me she screamed at my sister to the point of Sam sobbing in ear shot of her 3 young kids, husband, and my step father resulted in me cutting ties with Susan for good. To be fair, she screamed in my face “I don’t want a relationship with you” with Sam as a witness. I made the family aware of my decision, and everyone, including Norma agreed to respect my decision.
By August 2023, my physical health that had been on a rapid decline since 2019 including 78% of my discs deteriorating without a known cause had become unbearable to manage I had to quit my corporate desk job. I had enough money saved to tide me over for some time, but as any US adult in their 20’s & 30’s know, it’s been rough the past few years, add in physical disabilities & limited mobility + regular migraines, I was running low on money & needed help. So at the end of December, at the encouragement & insistence of my aunt Elizabeth (Susan’s sister) who I had become quite close with over the past few years, I went to Norma & Gene to ask for a LOAN. They had donated $25,000 to Sam’s place of worship on her behalf a few months prior, offered to buy Sam & her husband a house the year prior, paid for Elizabeth’s bills & expensive lifestyle for the last year when she was soul searching on what line of work she wanted to do next, this was after putting a down payment on Elizabeth’s new $470,000 condo + $70,000 of renovations it needed, not to mention the literal hundreds of thousands of dollars that they have given Susan over the years just to pay off her credit card debt, she assured me they would absolutely loan their granddaughter with serious health issues money. Elizabeth would talk to them personally about it, just to seal the deal while Sam would help me find cheaper alternatives to my current necessities such as Medicaid.
I make the request, and to my surprise they are more than happy to help me with a loan. But one week later & their phone calls with Susan, they say by email they “love me but cannot continue to financially support my poor decisions.” I call Elizabeth who says, it was not in her best interest to talk to them about helping me as I am “worthless to this family and society while being disabled.” Then adds that she will not let her “mental health deteriorate just to emotionally support me.” I then immediately reach out to Sam who does not even have the guts to talk by phone only text, and says she called Susan to explain my circumstance but “wasn’t going to argue or pick a fight” to help me and that she is sorry that that she “can't show up for me the way I want her to because she needs to maintain her own mental health, relationships and boundaries.” She also threw in that I have “made up this narrative in my head” that they treat her & I different, that she is treated better.
That day I fully cut contact with Norma, Gene, and Elizabeth. I told them they will not be hearing from me again, and I will not be attending theirs or Susan’s funeral. And I stopped speaking with Sam for the time being. Ironically, what led us to speaking was last month (April 20224) I had begun working on an article about going No Contact with family members. I asked if I could discuss her childhood abuse in a few sentences as part of the article. She agreed and offered to give me quotes. I accepted then interviewed her. From there we began rebuilding our relationship.
Then last Wednesday, (May 8), Norma passes. I do not attend the funeral that happened on Friday, May 10. My two cousins who I have become very close with in the last 6 months understood why, and supported my decision. But even though I did not go, I continually checked in with them & Sam to ensure they were okay. Not once from Wednesday to yesterday (Tuesday) did Sam reply to a single message. As I am concerned about this, I reached out yesterday morning. She replied in the afternoon. I was incredibly hurt by her very lengthy message. Here are 2 excerpts that led me to full NC.
I work very hard to stay positive as it’s just me to lean on. When there is something eating at me emotionally, it will drain my energy & have me spiral until it is resolved. I did not want to waste another week feeling hurt. But with that said, AITA for cutting ties at this time & not waiting?

I (33F) have 1 sibling, “Sam” (36F). Although we share the same parents, our childhood & the way we were treated was incredibly different. Mainly because Sam had always been favored & treated far better than me. A fact that Sam refuses to acknowledge to this day.
Before & after my parents got married, it was agreed upon that they would not have children, until one day my mother “Susan” (66F) came up with the bright idea that if she gave her parents (“Norma & Gene”) a grand-baby they would finally love her. She went off the pill without telling my father, got pregnant, then had Sam. To no one’s surprise, Susan hated being a mom. So she would ship Sam across the country to Norma & Gene’s constantly, so much so, they saw her as THEIR child. And they showered her with love that Susan never even got a taste of. This led to Susan being aggressively jealous & resentful of her child.
Years later, my dad was tricked again into having me to “save their marriage.” They divorced when I was 3. All Sam ever knew from Susan was neglect, emotional & mental abuse from Susan, which only became worse when she could use “favoring” me as another way to hurt Sam. This was NOT a secret in my family, resulting in maltreatment towards me (either subconsciously or intentionally).
Abuse toward Sam turned physical. My father was given full custody of her when I was 8, and I was left with Susan for the next 2 years until she decided she wanted to move to San Francisco because she “deserved” a more glamorous life. I do not remember the years living with Susan, but recently one of my closest friends (of 25 years) said to me I practically lived at her house & she barely interacted with Susan throughout the entirety of our friendship.
To make up for Susan being an awful parent, Norma & Gene would dote on Sam & shell out a lot of $$$ to give her a very nice life (let me know if you want me to give a list of examples in an update), compare this to me when I barley received a kind word. They offered me money ONCE in my early 20’s to pay off my credit card debt I accrued in college as I had to pay all my own bills while working full time (I have been working since I was 15) and going to school full time. I am the only one in the family who worked in college, yet I am still the only one to graduate with honors. I accepted. I have never asked or been offered money since. I have paid for ALL my own bills since I left home @ 18 years old.
Despite the obvious disparities and constant hurt they put me through, I was an active member of the family who mainly kept her mouth shut. I attended family events unless I could not afford to go, I sent holiday gifts, called between 1-2x per month for an 1 hour+ phone call in which I most often bit my tongue unless it was to defend Sam as Norma did not agree with her parenting.
Something to note, in May 2021 my father had an accident that would lead to his passing in December 2021. The disagreements & Sam’s nastiness toward me after the accident and then his death further strained our relationship.
Fast forward to March 2023. An explosive incident at Susan’s home in front of me she screamed at my sister to the point of Sam sobbing in ear shot of her 3 young kids, husband, and my step father resulted in me cutting ties with Susan for good. To be fair, she screamed in my face “I don’t want a relationship with you” with Sam as a witness. I made the family aware of my decision, and everyone, including Norma agreed to respect my decision.

- “Your perspective on the situation was clear, you werent coming to be with the family and you arent grieving [Norma’s] death at least in the conventional sense. I had to be the one to answer from most of the family why you werent there, it was incredibly awkward and uncomfortable for me.”
- “Since late January/Early February things have already been really strained between us. I know that most that comes from my point of view and actions were really hurtful to you. I hate that I hurt you and Its been difficult for me to reconcile that I can't show up for you the way you want me to while also maintaining my own mental health, relationships and boundaries.”

2024.05.16 03:12 mileygirl08 the void [active]
tl;dr: This is all a jumble of words trying to create meaning through not thinking
i am avoiding taking about it, unnecessary commentary is plenty for the ignorant.
I'm in the void.
I am moving out of my dorm into a temp dorm for 2 weeks, then will be scouting out a tree to live under.
It's hard to explain, it's even hard to feel - not that I can't feel, but I don't.. "care?" "want" i REALLY DONT KNOW.
looking back at past experiences I see how little the present moments matter.
I don't even know what im asking. I guess it's a way to try and feel a tiny bit less alone.
it's a big world, I have one close friend & one close parent. otherwise nobody wants anything to do with me. my transformation has been beneficial in terms of appearance, but only for me.
I don't get jobs based on my looks. ny current job wants me out bc the favorite in the group is married w a baby and he can't control his feelings for me. it's a disgustingly jealous world that I was a part of for 20 years, until it was my turn to be in this role.
Fuck I really just don't wanna deal with all this but that's why I feel so empty. my 20th move in 4 years all alone , again.
I have finally discovered the desire for minimalism.

2024.05.16 03:12 Its-Britney_Bitch This is a Turtle Boat grieving post.
I remember it like it was just two weeks ago. It was a beautiful Thursday; the sun was out, the birds were singing, and it was a Turtle Boat Day. I show up to work excited for the day, with a smile on my face. As I walk in my coworker hits me with the finger guns, "You know what day it is!!!" he says gleefully. "Turtle Boat day!!" I reply. I'm so excited. Every week, at least once a week and sometimes two, we would walk over to Turtle Boat for lunch, and today was that day. I anxiously wait for lunch. and finally 12 o'clock comes. It's time. We start to gather the crew, yelling "Turtle Boat Time!!" throughout the office. There were cheers and chants, "Turtle Boat! Turtle Boat! Turtle Boat!" We set off, enjoying the beautiful day, talking about little nothings, excited for what awaits us.
That's when it all went wrong. I knew something was up as soon as I saw the side of the building. The wonderful mural of Mr. Turtle in his boat had been sloppily covered by yellow paint, and as we drew closer we could see people moving equipment in and out. The group immediately became distressed by what we were seeing. How could this be? What is going on? It was just there the other day, I swear it was. As we approach we realize it's just gone. The sign's down, mural gone, it's like it never even existed. Eventually we talk to the people moving new equipment in. The guy says something about how TB moved out when their lease was up at the end of April, and how he's opening a chopped cheese place in its stead. I couldn't even listen. Why are you telling me about chopped cheese? Can't you see I'm grieving? Couldn't he see the pain in my eyes? All I could think was, "It's gone. It's gone. It's gone. How? Why? It's gone."
I should have known this world was too good for something like Turtle Boat. We're too raw, unrefined to ever have something like that last. I will miss you forever Turtle Boat, and I will always remember the time I spent there eating your delicious food. I love you.

2024.05.16 03:11 Sea_Helicopter9931 2.5 year old showing concerning signs of aggression
My 2.9 year old has started showing real signs of aggression that I’m concerned about.
He is generally a sweet and smart kid, but has always been super intense and high energy. Around age 2 he would start throwing his toys or banging around the house when he was angry, and now that has turned into hitting people and pulling hair.
It should be noted that had a baby 2 months ago and the adjustment has been pretty typical - some jealousy here and there but my husband and I make sure to spend individual time with him and affirm him etc as best as he can. Other than the new brother, his home life is as stable as can be with two parents and grandparents who love him deeply. He has never been spanked or hit, and we have not ever been physical with him. Hes also never seen anyone be violent or been around any type of major aggression.
Tonight he was crawling on the table and I told him to get off and he said NO, so I calmly picked him up and told him he had to go in time out for disobeying (he hates time out). He was kicking and screaming as I took him to the time out chair and as I was fighting him trying to get him to sit, he grabbed ahold of my hair and looked me in the eyes as he tried to rip as much out as he could. I was yelling at him to stop and my mom came over to help and she was telling him to let go and trying to pry him off me. The more we told him to stop the tighter he pulled. This lasted a full 3-4 minutes of us just trying to get him to let go and him pulling harder.
This incident comes after a similar situation earlier this week when he was at a playdate and held his friend down on the trampoline and wouldn’t let go. We had to leave the playdate and go home because it was so traumatic for his friend.
Most of the aggression episodes come after he’s told no or not gotten his way in one way or the other.
He’s supposed to start school in August and I’m scared he will not be ready to act safely and appropriately around other kids.
I’m sad and overwhelmed. Please send your advice my way. How would you discipline in this situation?

[M4A] Long-Term Dragon's Dogma 2 Roleplay
Greetings, my name is Outcast or Necromes!
I am a writer of over 10+ years all while being a 22 year old male, or about to be anyway on the 24th. I am literate to novella writing style and I put a lot of emphasis on my writing quality which, in turn, takes me a while to respond. Let's be real for a minute, I have immense ADHD and some autism and not only that, but I'm trying to get back into roleplay and writing conceivably. I can take a while to respond but that doesn't mean I'm just avoidant until I respond -- I adore gushing over ocs and being very VERY autistic about writing and what to do with stories and characters so if you down for
I am here today to pitch a Dragon's Dogma universe roleplay. Admittedly, I only played a bit of the first one before personal reasons shut me off from it. I bought Dragon's Dogma 2 a few days after it launched and I'll be honest, I've been such a completionist I haven't even gotten to the masquerade ball party yet.
The OC I pitch, is a human, flat out human archer named Nile "Domino" Quinren and he is a stoic and exceptionally skilled archer apart of an original faction I created called "The Order of Serpent's Quell". Early on the order used to fight mainly giant snakes and gorgons until an Arizen of old rebranded it into a secretive order of large monster slayers. This Arizen focused on Pawns being the ones in authority and trained humans to be the best. My character, Domino, has become a prestigious member within the order obtaining infamous or famous status depending on who asks but within society hes simply just an odd case.
My OC, Domino, has been trained by the order to help with monster slaying and bounties either in the fringes of the shadows or out in public. He fell in love with a superior of his, a Pawn wizard woman named Bonni and longs for her return, unsure if a human and a pawn could ever be in love.
With a keen eye and steady hand, Domino has faced and triumphed over formidable creatures such a Cyclops, Griffins, Drakes, and Giant Snakes (And maybe homebrew monsters for gits and shiggles), earning him great renown among both allies and adversaries. Despite his prowess in combat, Domino remains humble and dedicated to hus duty of protecting the realm from threats that lurk in the shadows.
Within the order, Nile holds a unqiue position as one of the few members granted authority comparable to that of the Pawns themselves.
What we could do for this is likely anything. I doubt he'd fight right next to an established Arizen OC unless that honor is your Arizen's blessing. He could go on solo journies with other Pawns aswell, or completely human warband parties or rookie hunters. Maybe you can help me expand on the lore of the order by making an OC for it?
If this catches your eye, feel free to leave a comment or even private chat me so we can discuss upon ideas. I primarily use Discord, only Discord because it's oh so easy.
Thank you, hope we can write soon!

I am here today to pitch a Dragon's Dogma universe roleplay. Admittedly, I only played a bit of the first one before personal reasons shut me off from it. I bought Dragon's Dogma 2 a few days after it launched and I'll be honest, I've been such a completionist I haven't even gotten to the masquerade ball party yet.
The OC I pitch, is a human, flat out human archer named Nile "Domino" Quinren and he is a stoic and exceptionally skilled archer apart of an original faction I created called "The Order of Serpent's Quell". Early on the order used to fight mainly giant snakes and gorgons until an Arizen of old rebranded it into a secretive order of large monster slayers. This Arizen focused on Pawns being the ones in authority and trained humans to be the best. My character, Domino, has become a prestigious member within the order obtaining infamous or famous status depending on who asks but within society hes simply just an odd case.
My OC, Domino, has been trained by the order to help with monster slaying and bounties either in the fringes of the shadows or out in public. He fell in love with a superior of his, a Pawn wizard woman named Bonni and longs for her return, unsure if a human and a pawn could ever be in love.
With a keen eye and steady hand, Domino has faced and triumphed over formidable creatures such a Cyclops, Griffins, Drakes, and Giant Snakes (And maybe homebrew monsters for gits and shiggles), earning him great renown among both allies and adversaries. Despite his prowess in combat, Domino remains humble and dedicated to hus duty of protecting the realm from threats that lurk in the shadows.
Within the order, Nile holds a unqiue position as one of the few members granted authority comparable to that of the Pawns themselves.
What we could do for this is likely anything. I doubt he'd fight right next to an established Arizen OC unless that honor is your Arizen's blessing. He could go on solo journies with other Pawns aswell, or completely human warband parties or rookie hunters. Maybe you can help me expand on the lore of the order by making an OC for it?
If this catches your eye, feel free to leave a comment or even private chat me so we can discuss upon ideas. I primarily use Discord, only Discord because it's oh so easy.
Thank you, hope we can write soon!
2024.05.16 03:07 skibbity_bop_mm_dada My Boyfriend (20M) and I (23F) Have Been Thinking of Ending Our Long-Distance Relationship, Should I Keep Trying to Make Things Work?
My boyfriend (20M) and I (23F) have been dating long distance for nearly 2 years now, our anniversary is coming up soon and things have been very difficult recently between us.
I think it started about 2 months ago when he had been trying to convince me to move in with him and his family. I considered it for a while but I ultimately ended up choosing to stay with my family because I'm in college and need the stability that staying with my family offers, and staying with his family has significant challenges of its own. Then he tried to get me to come visit him, but I told him since he didn't have a car yet and we wouldn't be able to do anything on our own without his dad driving us that we should just wait a month or two and visit then. At that point, he said that he would not be moving in with me and my family (which was the original plan since the very beginning before he tried to get me to move in with him) because he didn't want to be around my family. I've told him about fights my family and I have had and he can't forgive them or at least move past it enough to move in anymore even though things are better with my family now than they ever were before. Since then, things haven't been the same.
We'll get into arguments all the time which will result in him threatening the relationship and me trying to piece things back together because it seems like all of this has come out of nowhere during the past two months. He will also be consistently rude to me and act like I'm an annoyance. I have always given him all the love and attention he could ever want, and previous issues he had with me in the beginning are no more now. I've given up on getting any love from him for the moment. But when he's rude to me, I do have to say something about it which is where the arguments are coming from. For example, I jokingly asked him if he liked being in a relationship with me as a way to tell him I wanted him to not do something (i.e. he asked if he should do something and I responded with "well, do you wanna be in a relationship with me?" I would give a specific example but I was so not serious about it, that I don't even remember what it was that he was asking about) and instead of asking for a clarification about my intentions with the statement he just said no. I waited for him to clarify, but he didn't. I ended the call and after a min or two asked him to clarify what he meant and to apologize. Apparently he said he was saying no to me "threatening the relationship", which I then clarified that I wasn't being serious and was just being sassy as a joke. But then he started talking about breaking up again which lead to me crying, trying to piece everything back together again. Things had been fine earlier that day.
Then when I start to accept it finally, he acts like he may have an "idea" that will save the relationship. Most recently he said he needs to lower me on his list of priorities. Which I don't understand because to me, it feels like he has already lowered me on his list of priorities. Apparently he values his recent part time retail job over me and for some reason he can't have both me and the job. He also will complain that he's tired and doesn't want to go to work but he'll accept when he's called in short notice to the point where he'll work all day. And then he'll claim that its me who's holding him back from doing other things he likes like doing yardwork or whatever else he wants to do. I want to be appreciated for my efforts and commitment and I've NEVER held him back from any of those things. I had been encouraging him to get his first job for over a YEAR before he got it. He also doesn't respect that I want him to have a car before I visit and still won't get the car that's been available to him for a while now through his grandpa. All he has to do is put himself on the insurance but he won't do it. He even let his learners permit expire so now he can't take a flight or even drive a car and there's even more steps for him to do at this point to get a car, better himself, and grow up. For the record, I am also not a nag. I haven't asked him to do ANYTHING other than just respect me as a human for 2 months.
When I ask him why he wants to break up its always a new reason and when I ask him to elaborate on the reason he says "I don't know". He doesn't know why he thinks we're not compatible anymore. He doesn't know why he wants to be single. He doesn't know what he learned from this relationship even though he claims that "maybe this was just a stepping stone for us to learn". He doesn't know anything but he still acts like he wants to go through with it.
I'm so tired of all of this, but it feels like such a waste to break up because this bad stuff hasn't been happening for very long. I feel like if he was more in touch with his emotions about moving in and visiting, he wouldn't be in this place mentally. Plus when we visit we're sooo happy together. We HAD been so happy together for the vast majority of the relationship up until around this time. But there's nothing I can do for him anymore to make him realize our relationship is worth saving. I've been holding onto the future of this relationship for SO long and have put a LOT into it, both emotionally and financially (long distance is expensive). I just don't want it to end because he can't deal with his emotions and can't treat me with respect just out of the blue. It doesn't make any sense to me and I'm having a really hard time accepting it. I worry he may end up regretting it down the line. I think that I'm a very good partner and have a lot of good qualities. I've improved myself a lot in this relationship too. I don't know why he'd want to be single instead. Literally everyone I've talked to has told me to break up with him. It's just so hard to divest my energy this quickly. I don't feel prepared. I don't think he's going to realize what he had until its gone for good. It's just so hard for me to give up on this. Please let me know what I should do about this terrible situation.
TLDR; My long-distance relationship of nearly 2 years hit a rough patch. Initially, our plan was for him to move in with me, then my boyfriend wanted me to move in, which I considered but backed out on for school and family reasons. Arguments and rudeness escalated. He's indecisive about breakup reasons. Despite advice from others, I'm struggling to accept a potential breakup. I've invested a lot emotionally and feel unprepared to end it.

2024.05.16 03:07 ThrowRA_70578jklkh am i (F29) vain for wanting my husband (30M) to want to look good for me?
tldr; husband isn’t very active or healthy like he used to be. am i vain for wanting him to want to look good?
my husband (30M) and i (29F) have been together for 10 years married for 5. when we met he was very active, worked out a ton & seemed really focused on his physique. he’s always eaten kinda poorly, but it was never really on his radar as a potential issue. fast forward to now, his metabolism has slowed down, he doesnt workout to the same extent, and his body and health have obviously changed as a result.
i’ll also say that he doesn’t really have any extreme behaviors- no binge eating, not super sedentary, etc. just not really motivated to get healthier or lose fat.
but he keeps pressure on me to maintain my body. i eat super healthy, try to exercise a fair amount, and have to balance that w/ a changing body due to health factors like failed pregnancies.
when i try to create incentive for us to both be healthier together (i invite him to workouts, cook healthy meals, etc), keep him accountable- he gets really defensive and says im nagging him, he’s tired, etc.
i will love him no matter what he looks like, but my attraction has changed. some times it feels little disrespectful but i dont think it’s malicious obviously, just something else… laziness? like he’s stopped trying? idk.
is it that bad that i want him to WANT to look good for me? am i too vain? how do i get him to care?

2024.05.16 03:06 TraveldaHospital Mostly estranged parent dying but is in denial/incapable of advanced planning
Anyone have a parent who just...lives their life like normal despite having a terminal illness? That's my dad. He was diagnosed with SCLC. They caught it super early so his prognosis was better than most. He smoked the whole time during treatment. He has done NOTHING to help himself. He just sits around, eats ice cream, and takes naps..the complains of being so weak. We have expressed our concerns that he is not doing well and would be better off in a assisted living facility...but he just doesn't care.
He will just wake up one day, unable to get out of bed, then call us and say, "hey I can't get out of bed help me" when for the past 2 years we've been trying to get him to think about these things and plan ahead.
Oh, he also lives in Mexico, is mostly estranged from our family, and is a liar. I honestly am beginning to loathe him more than I ever have as he just seems so disconnected and unable to have any real meaningful connections with anyone. It's how he was been his whole life.
Should I just not care? I've tried to help him out but he is just too miserable, disgusting, and rude to be around.

2024.05.16 03:06 TornadicPotato Paragard IUD removal Pregnancy
So I decided that at 24 years old, almost 2 year post op from bariatric surgery (knowing it’s safe after 18 months) that now would be as good as time as any to go ahead and try for a baby. I spoke to my boyfriend who I’ve been together for over 5 years and he agreed that we will never feel ready but now is as good of a time as any. My last period was April 9th and I got my IUD removed April 16th, and by the first week of May I had the worst bags under my eyes, so exhausted, and moodiest I’ve ever been. So of course Saturday the 4th I test myself and was not yet detected but pretty much starting Monday the next week I added nausea to my list of symptoms and by Thursday the 9th I was 2 days late for my period so I tested again and was pregnant! The line was faint so I took my digital one to spell it out for me because even though all the symptoms were there I couldn’t believe it! When I got my IUD removed, my OB said it was safe to start trying after my next period which I never got, and now I’m a little worried that it being too soon after could cause any issues? They won’t see me until June 13th once I’m past 8 weeks so I’m just very anxious about waiting and was wondering what other people experiences may have been getting pregnant too quickly after IUD removal? Also, what should I expect with my first appointment, will they do an ultrasound as I will be 9 weeks by then? I’m so excited and nervous for this little bean! ❤️

2024.05.16 03:05 o0TG0o Checking Some Localization - Cold Steel III: Chapter 3 (1/2)
Once again, my next post concerning the localized script of Cold Steel III. With this, I'll tackle the first part of Chapter 3. The points shown here are based on my sensibilities as to what lines cause issues for the dialogue, from being outright wrong to being awkward. My previous posts are listed below:
Very weird way to phrase this line by the localization. Especially considering that it is also said "they sealed it" in the next line. The original already mentions the "military"/"軍." Celine could've said: [Speaking of which, was/wasn't the Azure Knightever retrieved by the military?]
There isn't supposed to be a comparison that reads as if the Nord people worship "something else" instead of Aidios. Rean could've said: [They also have the Goddess of the Sky, but they worship something else equally.]
「Hahaha...(That doesn't quite seem like Celestin, but...)」 / 「ははは……（セレスタンさんはちょっと特別な気もするが……）」
The localization got this one completely wrong. How is describing Celestin as "knowledgeable about cooking" and "helpful" not like him? That response makes no sense. First, the second line should read more generalizing the compliments to the whole staff; Cattleya could've said: [With such an amazing facultymember/members Thors must really be an excellent school.] Second, the meaning is that "Celestin is a unique case among the faculty" (in regards to being so amazing.) Rean could've said: [Hahaha... (That doesn't quite seem like anyone but Celestin...)]
The localization mistranslated "fiend"/"魔物" for "cryptid"/"幻獣." Kurt could've said: [A monster? Wait that's some kind of fiend!] Musse could've said: [What a nightmarish beast that fiend was...]
beautiful lace/Mariage Cross' beautiful lace.]
Again, it's made to use "Vita" instead of "Clotilde." I've already explained in previous posts how these changes can affect the dynamics of characters negatively. Rean could've said: [I'm also worried about the 'true story' that Clotilde mentioned.]
The localization creates an awkward confusion for these lines. What would be expected is that "boss" would be the fleet's boss, but it's actually talking about the owner of the sailor bar, Miranda, by using "owner" or "landlady"/"女将さん." Leonora could've said: [I hope Miranda/the owner is doing well.]
「Though I might consider doing something after we're done with the field exercises.」 / 「せめて演習が終わった最終日なら引率込みで考えなくもないが。」
「Huh...? Well, aren't you a stingy one?」 / 「ハァ……？チッ、ケチくせえ野郎だな。」
The point of the line doesn't really come across that well in the localization. It sounds like the punchline to responding to Ash's proposal to allow Class VII to go out in the nightlife of Raquel is that "I'll consider doing that by myself." That couldn't be more wrong. Rena could've said: [Though I might consider chaperoning you guys after we're done with the field exercises.]
In the context of "the Noble Alliance forces, after the civil war ended, barricaded themselves in Juno Naval Fortress," the localization wrongly chooses to put it as "during the war." Much the same, the second line is supposed to be talking about that single past event. Altina could've said: [It was equiped with multiple Panzer Soldats, large-class airships, and enough supplies amd anti-aircraft cannons to last three years.]
「Over the past six months, there haven't been any confirmed reports of jaeger corps activity within the Empire.」 / 「──ここ半月、帝国各地で 活動していた複数の猟兵団の動きが確認できなくなっている模様。」
By virtue of omitting information, the localization causes this line to have the wrong information. In the first line. Wallace could've said: [But over the past half a month/two weeks, we've not seen activity from the multiple jaeger corps which, until then, had been moving suspiciously in the Empire starting six months ago.] Consequentially, it's the lack of movement so close to the Provincial Council that makes them wary. The third line straight up mistranslated "half a month"/"半月." Wallace could've said: [Over the past half a month/two weeks, there haven't been any confirmed reports of jaeger corps activity within the Empire.]
The localization refuses to establish a term for this other name that Rean and Musse call Ordis. Given some uses of the Japanese term, it could be "Saphirl Port City"; given the name of a food item in the city, perhaps "Aquamarine Port City"; even if not the same kanji, maybe "Azure Port City." As long as it's not entirely omitted from the game.
Straight up mistranslating "today"/"今日" in the localization. Luka could've said: [Guess what! My big brother is coming back today!]; And: [My big brother is coming back today!]
The localization got this line wrong. It's not about drinking a lot, even the owner of the inn says the same, "卸して." Just as mentioned in the second line, by the tavern owner, Edmond. Old Man Rossel should've said: [Though, all I do nowadays is sell my catches here!]
The first localized line gives the wrong idea. That would cause the second line to likely be interpreted as "Ordis' night life" when it's actually about in "Raquel"/"ラクウェル". Receptionis Harold should've said: [Our hotel offers a taxi service jto and from Raquel*.]

- 28:「The elder? Is she the one Emma and Vita call their grandmother?」 / 「“長”──エマが“お祖母ちゃん”、クロチルダさんが“婆様”と呼ぶ人だよな？」
Again, it's made to use "Vita" instead of "Clotilde." I've already explained in previous posts how these changes can affect the dynamics of characters negatively. Rean could've said: [I'm also worried about the 'true story' that Clotilde mentioned.]
- 29:「From that day, Emma began training and studying as hard as she could with one goal...」 / 「『あやつの事は忘れよ』という“長”の言葉にも納得せず、その日からひたすらに修行と勉学に励んでいったわ。」

- 34:「It reminds me of the fleet. I feel like I'm home.」 / 「まるで船団に戻って来た みたいというか……これだけで里心がついちまうよ。」
The localization creates an awkward confusion for these lines. What would be expected is that "boss" would be the fleet's boss, but it's actually talking about the owner of the sailor bar, Miranda, by using "owner" or "landlady"/"女将さん." Leonora could've said: [I hope Miranda/the owner is doing well.]
- 35「Well, thanks to my mom's job, I know all about the nightlife in Raquel. Lemme know if you need any recommendations.」 / 「ま、お袋の職場だったのもあるし、夜のラクウェルなら任せろや。」

「Huh...? Well, aren't you a stingy one?」 / 「ハァ……？チッ、ケチくせえ野郎だな。」
The point of the line doesn't really come across that well in the localization. It sounds like the punchline to responding to Ash's proposal to allow Class VII to go out in the nightlife of Raquel is that "I'll consider doing that by myself." That couldn't be more wrong. Rena could've said: [Though I might consider chaperoning you guys after we're done with the field exercises.]
- 36:「The former Duke Cayenne is still under arrest and no replacement has been named.」 / 「現カイエン公は逮捕されたままで地方統括者は不在ですよね。」

- 41:「During the war, the Imperial Army was at a loss after multiple failed attempts to infiltrate.」 / 「当時、帝国正規軍も攻めあぐねて頭を抱えたそうです。」
In the context of "the Noble Alliance forces, after the civil war ended, barricaded themselves in Juno Naval Fortress," the localization wrongly chooses to put it as "during the war." Much the same, the second line is supposed to be talking about that single past event. Altina could've said: [It was equiped with multiple Panzer Soldats, large-class airships, and enough supplies amd anti-aircraft cannons to last three years.]
- 42:「(And thus a deal was struck that shifted the Northern War.)」 / 「（そんな事態を打開するために北方戦役の話が持ち上がった……）」
- 44:「I don't see any Goliath Soldats. Do you?」 / 「ああ、そういや主力戦車だの噂の巨人機(ゴライアス)だのは見当たらねぇな？」
- 46:「But over the past six months, we've seen some suspicious activity from both jaeger corps.」 / 「だがここ半年、帝国各地で不可解な動きをしていた各猟兵団が半月くらい前から鳴りを潜めていてな。」
「Over the past six months, there haven't been any confirmed reports of jaeger corps activity within the Empire.」 / 「──ここ半月、帝国各地で 活動していた複数の猟兵団の動きが確認できなくなっている模様。」
By virtue of omitting information, the localization causes this line to have the wrong information. In the first line. Wallace could've said: [But over the past half a month/two weeks, we've not seen activity from the multiple jaeger corps which, until then, had been moving suspiciously in the Empire starting six months ago.] Consequentially, it's the lack of movement so close to the Provincial Council that makes them wary. The third line straight up mistranslated "half a month"/"半月." Wallace could've said: [Over the past half a month/two weeks, there haven't been any confirmed reports of jaeger corps activity within the Empire.]
- 47:「Ordis has been holding the Imperial Provincial Council since yesterday. Immediately after that's done is the Summer Festival.」 / 「オルディスは明日より領邦会議、そして《夏至祭》という状況です。」
- 49:「Looking at this view, I can see why Ordis is so famous.」 / 「さすがは《紺碧の海都》と称えられるだけはある街だな。」
The localization refuses to establish a term for this other name that Rean and Musse call Ordis. Given some uses of the Japanese term, it could be "Saphirl Port City"; given the name of a food item in the city, perhaps "Aquamarine Port City"; even if not the same kanji, maybe "Azure Port City." As long as it's not entirely omitted from the game.
- 50:「Yeah, but once we're done sightseein', we've got a monster to kill.」 / 「そんで一通り回ったら南の浜辺で手配された魔獣をブチ倒すわけか。」
- 51:「I hope Luna isn't too bored.」 / 「はっはっは、ルナたちが退屈していなければいいのだが。」
- 52:「You're in luck. With the Summer Festival going on, the town is really buzzing with activity.」 / 「夏至祭も近いので商業区は賑わっているようです。」
- 53:「My husband doesn't like things that come from the capital.」 / 「うちは旦那様が帝都資本嫌いなんです。」
- 54:「In addition to the taverns, there's an orbment store, and a glass workshop that is popular with the duke households.」 / 「宿酒場の他に、導力器なども扱う、公爵家御用達の硝子工房などもあります。」
- 55:「Guess what! My big brother is coming back tomorrow!」 /「あのね！ 今日兄ちゃんが帰ってくるんだ～っ！」
Straight up mistranslating "today"/"今日" in the localization. Luka could've said: [Guess what! My big brother is coming back today!]; And: [My big brother is coming back today!]
- 56:「Gramps is the ultimate craftsman. He even received the Golden Emblem.」 / 「じいちゃんは陛下から《黄綬勲章》を賜った最高の職人ですからね。」
- 57:「Though, all I do nowadays is drink here!」 / 「ま、今はこの店くらいにしか卸しておらんがなぁ！」
The localization got this line wrong. It's not about drinking a lot, even the owner of the inn says the same, "卸して." Just as mentioned in the second line, by the tavern owner, Edmond. Old Man Rossel should've said: [Though, all I do nowadays is sell my catches here!]
- 57:「I need to make sure it doesn't compromise the beauty of this.」 / 「《輝き号》の魅力を損ねないよう、極力目立たないようにしたいけど……」
- 58:「I had to rid myself of some of the merchant ships my grandfather passed down to me! Aside from that little head start, I'm a self-made man!」 / 「祖父の代からの商船すらただ同然で手放すことになるなど……！」
- 59:「I mean, will all four of the Great Houses even participate? This truly is mindboggling.」 / 「そもそも四大の足並みすら揃うかどうか。……やれやれ、悩ませてくれる。」
- 60:「So this is a jade shell...It'd make for quite the accessory.」 / 「これがヒスイ貝か……確かに飾りに相応しいな。」
- 61:「We've lost enough men for one day.」 / 「ここで戦力を減らす意味など皆無だからな。」
- 62:「It's vital that we confirm if there are jaeger corps roaming the area.」 / 「この地で猟兵団が動いているのを実際に捉えたのは大きいだろう。」
- 62:「This is a travesty! Does Marquis Ballad truly intend to reform the government like this?!」 / 「……信じられるか！？バラッド侯はまだ政府の改革案を受け入れるつもりらしいぞ。」
- 63:「We'll both be in town while the council is underway.」 / 「毎年領邦会議の時期は二人とも同じ街にいるんです。」
- 64:「The next Duke Cayenne is about to be decided.」 / 「そろそろ現カイエン公にも判決が出される頃だよなぁ。」
- 65:「Our hotel offers a taxi service.」 / 「当ホテルではラクウェルヘの送迎サービスも行っております。」
The first localized line gives the wrong idea. That would cause the second line to likely be interpreted as "Ordis' night life" when it's actually about in "Raquel"/"ラクウェル". Receptionis Harold should've said: [Our hotel offers a taxi service jto and from Raquel*.]
- 66:「Juna, see you later.」 / 「ユウナちゃんたち、お疲れ様ー。」
- 67:「Haha. Well, the three girls were so cute that I nearly--ahem, excuse me.」 / 「フフ、女の子たち３人が可愛すぎて思わず鼻血が──おっと、失敬。」
- 68:「There was a shooting near a school the other day...」 / 「この前なんて町のすぐ近くで撃ち合いがあって。」
2024.05.16 03:04 skibbity_bop_mm_dada My Boyfriend (20M) and I (23F) Have Been Thinking of Ending Our Long-Distance Relationship, Should I Keep Trying to Make Things Work?
My boyfriend (20M) and I (23F) have been dating long distance for nearly 2 years now, our anniversary is coming up soon and things have been very difficult recently between us.
I think it started about 2 months ago when he had been trying to convince me to move in with him and his family. I considered it for a while but I ultimately ended up choosing to stay with my family because I'm in college and need the stability that staying with my family offers, and staying with his family has significant challenges of its own. Then he tried to get me to come visit him, but I told him since he didn't have a car yet and we wouldn't be able to do anything on our own without his dad driving us that we should just wait a month or two and visit then. At that point, he said that he would not be moving in with me and my family (which was the original plan since the very beginning before he tried to get me to move in with him) because he didn't want to be around my family. I've told him about fights my family and I have had and he can't forgive them or at least move past it enough to move in anymore even though things are better with my family now than they ever were before. Since then, things haven't been the same.
We'll get into arguments all the time which will result in him threatening the relationship and me trying to piece things back together because it seems like all of this has come out of nowhere during the past two months. He will also be consistently rude to me and act like I'm an annoyance. I have always given him all the love and attention he could ever want, and previous issues he had with me in the beginning are no more now. I've given up on getting any love from him for the moment. But when he's rude to me, I do have to say something about it which is where the arguments are coming from. For example, I jokingly asked him if he liked being in a relationship with me as a way to tell him I wanted him to not do something (i.e. he asked if he should do something and I responded with "well, do you wanna be in a relationship with me?" I would give a specific example but I was so not serious about it, that I don't even remember what it was that he was asking about) and instead of asking for a clarification about my intentions with the statement he just said no. I waited for him to clarify, but he didn't. I ended the call and after a min or two asked him to clarify what he meant and to apologize. Apparently he said he was saying no to me "threatening the relationship", which I then clarified that I wasn't being serious and was just being sassy as a joke. But then he started talking about breaking up again which lead to me crying, trying to piece everything back together again. Things had been fine earlier that day.
Then when I start to accept it finally, he acts like he may have an "idea" that will save the relationship. Most recently he said he needs to lower me on his list of priorities. Which I don't understand because to me, it feels like he has already lowered me on his list of priorities. Apparently he values his recent part time retail job over me and for some reason he can't have both me and the job. He also will complain that he's tired and doesn't want to go to work but he'll accept when he's called in short notice to the point where he'll work all day. And then he'll claim that its me who's holding him back from doing other things he likes like doing yardwork or whatever else he wants to do. I want to be appreciated for my efforts and commitment and I've NEVER held him back from any of those things. I had been encouraging him to get his first job for over a YEAR before he got it. He also doesn't respect that I want him to have a car before I visit and still won't get the car that's been available to him for a while now through his grandpa. All he has to do is put himself on the insurance but he won't do it. He even let his learners permit expire so now he can't take a flight or even drive a car and there's even more steps for him to do at this point to get a car, better himself, and grow up. For the record, I am also not a nag. I haven't asked him to do ANYTHING other than just respect me as a human for 2 months.
When I ask him why he wants to break up its always a new reason and when I ask him to elaborate on the reason he says "I don't know". He doesn't know why he thinks we're not compatible anymore. He doesn't know why he wants to be single. He doesn't know what he learned from this relationship even though he claims that "maybe this was just a stepping stone for us to learn". He doesn't know anything but he still acts like he wants to go through with it.
I'm so tired of all of this, but it feels like such a waste to break up because this bad stuff hasn't been happening for very long. I feel like if he was more in touch with his emotions about moving in and visiting, he wouldn't be in this place mentally. Plus when we visit we're sooo happy together. We HAD been so happy together for the vast majority of the relationship up until around this time. But there's nothing I can do for him anymore to make him realize our relationship is worth saving. I've been holding onto the future of this relationship for SO long and have put a LOT into it, both emotionally and financially (long distance is expensive). I just don't want it to end because he can't deal with his emotions and can't treat me with respect just out of the blue. It doesn't make any sense to me and I'm having a really hard time accepting it. I worry he may end up regretting it down the line. I think that I'm a very good partner and have a lot of good qualities. I've improved myself a lot in this relationship too. I don't know why he'd want to be single instead. Literally everyone I've talked to has told me to break up with him. It's just so hard to divest my energy this quickly. I don't feel prepared. I don't think he's going to realize what he had until its gone for good. It's just so hard for me to give up on this. Please let me know what I should do about this terrible situation.
TLDR; My long-distance relationship of nearly 2 years hit a rough patch. Initially, our plan was for him to move in with me, then my boyfriend wanted me to move in, which I considered but backed out on for school and family reasons. Arguments and rudeness escalated. He's indecisive about breakup reasons. Despite advice from others, I'm struggling to accept a potential breakup. I've invested a lot emotionally and feel unprepared to end it.

2024.05.16 03:03 Sufficient-Address-8 I’m a boy and I want to wear a dress
I’ve been ftm for 1-2 years by now. I’ve been open abt it and despite some ppl not being the most supportive, I’ve been doing good. In the past, I’ve been told to be more “manly” and “masculine” if I wanted to pass, but it never rlly felt right. I’ll sometimes be doing my skincare routine and question if this is what a man shld be doing. What happened today is smth I’ll never let go of. After a test, I was drawing a girl in a feminine outfit, and it kinda reminded me of myself before I was trans(bigender) and I thought abt me now in a dress, and I got a wave of euphoric-like happiness.
It’s so exciting to think of myself as a pretty boy in a pretty skirt. No pressure to be manly, no need to pass as a guy, it was an amazing thought. I’m not saying that I’m cis, because I don’t think of myself as a girl in a dress, matter of fact, I feel more like a boy than a girl. If there was a world where anyone could wear what they want, I wld be wearing the most stunning and graceful maxi skirt, a tight fitting long sleeve on top of my binder, and some cut Mary Jane’s that click every time I walk. It’ll be the best thing ever, and I’ll never have a worry in the world. I talked to my friend abt this, and he said I might be a drag queen(I’m 100% sure I’m not).
Idk, I just have a bunch of confusing feelings at the moment. Nothing abt gender though, which is strange. What I know for now is that I can’t let anyone know about this, the guys in my school are ruthless, and will tear me up if I ever mutter a word about this to someone else.

2024.05.16 03:03 toothxfairyy Parents won’t accept choice of spouse.
My parents won’t accept my choice of spouse because he doesn’t have a college degree. He doesn’t have a degree but he plans to go to school next year (he’s 27) and he’s not sitting at home being a bum, he works full time and is planning several things in the near future. He’s the kindest person i’ve ever met and truly cares for me, and above all, he’s a true gentleman and is very religious. He is very firm on his deen. He has enough money to support us if we got married. What do i do? We haven’t been talking very long and from the start he told his parents and he wanted to talk to my father. He’s a good man. My parents are not vain people, but I am their only daughter and I know they want the best for me, and they believe being financially comfortable is important. While i agree with that, I also believe in him and I know he will continue working on his goals and plans to give us a good life. I haven’t told my dad yet, but my mom is very difficult and doesn’t believe in love marriages and such. I don’t know what to do.
Please make Dua for us.

2024.05.16 02:59 Humi_1 I live in Pakistan (islamabad) and fear for my life
Its not new that my parents have physically hurt me but yesterday my mom tried to strangle me(24F) twice and she clearly said that she is just waiting to het over with my sisters wedding and after that she will for sure kill me. Im scared for my life and i dont know what to do. I cant go out of my house as they wont allow me too and i cant place an online complaint either since the islamabad police website has some issues.
As to what instigated this was that i was taking online classes with 2 of my online friends that i came across on pubg. Ive been taking classes with them for almost 1 week and it has been quite good since the teacher is our friend and he has been providing us insight from his own personal business and experiences. He has also offered to give us an investment for our startup after we learn these skills. It is completely remote i do not have to invest any money nor anything else apart from my skill set. And he is a friend that i trust and wanted to work with. Nothing inappropriate has ever happened nor is he a scam but when my mom got to know about this she got very angry at me and said that i had ruined my life enough on my own and didnt ned to add more things (here what she is referring to is my enagement to my ex fiance which she broke cause he was not financially good enough for her) and then got very agitated and started hitting me on my face and strangled me twice and stopped only when my other sisters (who were there the entire time) stopped her.
As they dragged her out the threatened to kill me and now im scared and the fact that they went on with their lives like nothing happened it above me. They left me there in the room and went away for shopping.
Idk what to do i cant leave my house, even if i do place an FIR it wont work because my dad is in intelligence himself. He can easily get it discarded. What do i do???

2024.05.16 02:58 Acct_jst_4_Qs Former (fired) employee falsely claiming they were given an oral agreement of ownership and other equity in business and is threatening to sue. Any input appreciated!
Throw away since I know this former employee is on Reddit.
This is in regards to a small, privately owned retail business in an at-will state.
Usually oral agreement issues are employees being shafted by owners/managers/etc. that the latter may have orally agreed to about X, Y, or Z to an employee. It has actually been difficult to find online search results that are reversed, which is the case I am experiencing with a former employee (let's call them Alex, in a gender-neutral manner to reduce revealing private info about them) - Alex is claiming that they were promised a large portion of ownership of the business as well as equity related to recent, large product investments.
We had to fire Alex because of prolonged, catalogued/tracked service quality and professionalism issues, as well as strong suspicion (and eventual solid evidence discovered post termination) of theft. The service quality and professionalism issues were discussed with Alex numerous times, and naturally known to other employees working alongside them. Eventually, after numerous continued issues and verbal warnings, Alex was formally written up and we had them sign the notes covered in the meeting. After a couple more months of still declining service quality, and odd, suspicious behavior that strongly indicated theft as mentioned, we were forced to terminate employment. We provided Alex with a fairly standard release form which essentially said "we won't sue you and you won't sue us, and if you sign you get 4 weeks of severance pay." Alex did not sign the form. Alex found new employment about 4 weeks after termination and to my knowledge has not filed for unemployment for the few weeks between jobs.
As mentioned, we later confirmed not only theft, but Alex was selling the stolen goods online while undercutting our prices and then even using the store's financial accounts to purchase shipping labels for their online customers to ship the stolen goods to them. We have screenshots of their Ebay account, along with pictures they took showing of the goods where their hand is visible with recognizable jewelry seen by all the staff before Alex was terminated (so we can confirm it's Alex in the pictures they posted). There is strong evidence of other theft but it is more difficult to prove.
Re: the oral agreement - it should be noted that I did in fact make an oral agreement with Alex, but of which is very different than the one they are claiming was made. Because Alex was our first employee and worked with us for over 5 years, I agreed that if the business was to ever grow to say another storefront, I would allow Alex to buy in for an undetermined percent of the business (probably around 10% at most). That is it. I've maintained that this was the agreement to Alex, my wife, and employees for a number of years, never changing the details of the arrangement. Unfortunately Alex made these poor service quality and theft decisions and was terminated before the business was able to grow into an additional store (still not a possibility at the moment and probably for another couple of years), thus the agreement is now null and void. This agreement was NOT written down or signed by either party (and thus no witnesses either).
Alex is claiming that they were promised to be given (yes, given, not just allowed to buy in) ownership up to 50% of the current business and 20%-30% or so of the value of recent product investments, of which would likely be in excess of $100,000 together. Alex's claim is absolutely not true. There is no paperwork, signatures, witnesses, etc. that would be able to confirm this unless they are going to forge something or have people lie for them. However, I am concerned about this because I otherwise do not have proof that this was not the agreement...
Our two current employees, aware of this situation, and aware of (and witness to) the poor and odd behavior of the former employee that led to their termination (including the theft), are more than willing to testify that Alex's claim is not the case. Alex even spoke to them about thinking about drafting a letter to me about a 7% ownership stake, which they never did. If they were orally promised such a great deal of ownership why would they need to draft a letter for only 7%? Unfortunately Alex has recruited the wrath of their parents (who they lived with for 6 years straight and just moved into an apartment, Alex is in their 30s.) who are going to bankroll them a lawyer. I would imagine that Alex has been telling their parents for some time now (like years) that there was some sort of oral agreement about ownership more in the line of their false claims (to the specifics I am not sure) and they have been able to convince them that their child is telling the truth. So Alex's parents could very well feel like they're telling the truth when they say their child told them about this crazy 50% stake and equity when in fact it was a lie. But how do I prove that? Do I need to prove that?
Here's where it gets a little more complicated - Alex's father (who I miss, he was a good guy) is handy and built a majority of the counters, drawers, storage, display tables, etc. in the storefront for free (he refused payment for the labor, but I paid for all the materials of which I have receipts for). Alex is claiming that because their father built all this furniture, it is "proof" that they were promised part ownership and equity (because why else would their father be so generous?...). But that is not the case, their father just wanted to help and participate in any way he could as he is nearing retirement and wanting to take on new activities. The employee may have been cultivating this false assumption that such construction is proof of promised partnership with their fathefamily from the start, although their father never mentioned anything like that to me.
The personal and professional betrayal aside, I'm concerned about Alex levying such accusations of ridiculous grand promises via oral agreement since it is so hard to confirm either way, and given this person's proclivity of lying (and stealing) I have little trust they will act in good faith if any legal proceedings unfold. I would love any advice on how to possibly handle this issue. Wouldn't the onus be on Alex to prove these grand promises? Given the little I have listed above, what "evidence" might be in their favor? How concerning is it that their parents are fully convinced their child has been wronged (I also know that Alex is telling friends and new coworkers the reason they were fired was because of me not wanting to "give" them part of the business)? It seems ridiculous a parent's perspective would hold much weight in actual legal environments since they would be so biased. Should I be concerned there is no written agreement about any of these promises (including the legitimate one about eventual opportunity to buy in)? Anything about their father volunteering their labor? Is it a good thing that our current employees are willing to testify (on their own volition, I didn't even ask them) about their own first hand experiences and conversations with Alex that contradicts many of Alex's statements? Anything else potentially troublesome I should be aware of?
Yes, lots of lessons learned here - get things in writing for my own protection against such claims. Unfortunately that is not the case here, so advice geared around the fact that no party has much to support their claims (well, I'm only claiming their claim is false) would be most helpful. Please let me know if you have any clarifying questions or need more information for better input. I really appreciate your time and consideration!
