2024.06.02 08:36 cheesemilk010 AITA for wanting to break up with my boyfriend after accusing me of cheating with my best friend
I (17) female have been with my (18) male bf for 6 months now at first we were happy and loving till I told him about my best friend (18) female hunter me and hunter have been friends since the 5 th grade unfortunately Hunter has moved across the country recently. my bf Taylor was totally fine with this and knows that Hunter is a girl
For the past couple of weeks me and my parents have been looking for a new home because our home is to small and I will be staying with them till I graduated college so I have been busy these last couple of weeks I have let my bf know this but when I get a free chance I’ll hang out with him or call him we don’t really hang out that much tho
Recently He has been complaining to one of my other friends that I’m to dry or I won’t talk to him even tho I tell him that I won’t be able to talk much one day he texted me confronting me about lying about Hunter and that she’s really a “side hoe” am not sure where he got that from but i tried to explain that she was a girl and just a friend he wouldn’t believe me then he started saying oh well what if i just when to go spend the night with fer? Fer is his ex gf that he broke up with before me
I would explain to him that I was just busy and I couldn’t talk.last night I got news that me and some of my family are gonna fly out to go see Hunter and some family and when I told Taylor this he started screaming at me saying I m a hoe and that he hopes I have a good time with Hunter while he goes to hang out with fer I asked him if he was ok and if he needed to talk about anything and that’s when he stormed out but not without smashing a watch that belonged to my grandma who has pasted recently
Now am not sure what to do because I love him with everything in me but idk if he’s being serious about his ex and when I ask my friend they tell me it’s normal and we are just going through a ruff patch but am not sure

I was looking for a poem by Emily Brontë where she praises her sisters or in which she cites sisterhood. I couldn't find any. Do you know if she has ever written a poem about her sisters? Or if any of the Brontë sisters did it? Thanks for any help ✨ (it is for my and my sister's birthday)

2024.06.02 08:31 AdditionalAd9753 My(34F) husband(34M) is a husk of the man, I knew. What can I do to fix thing up between us?
Burner account cause he knows about my normal one, and I don't want to hurt him more. Also, long post incoming with some potentially triggering topics, but its all relevent information to set up my situation
My husband (34M) and I(34F) loved each other from the bottom of our hearts, but its not like that anymore. 5 years ago, things changed between us and now everything is so differemt.
He came from an abusive household, and also has a pair of mental health disorders. His parents died in his teens, and that is when his Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder flared for the first time ever. Since then, he has been battling his own mind, and not always succesfully (He has scars up and down his arms, which is why he only wears long sleeved clothes now). When we got together, things where initially rough between us, but it got much better and it quickly bloomed into a relationship, which culminated in marrying one another. Even thouhh he was medicated, had a stable job and income, and a house of his own, his trauma used to come back and his meds where sometimes not enough. But even still, life was good for us. We traveled together to whereever we wantes. We had a great sex life (He was a Dom and I a Sub). We had anything we could ever want. And our future was set due to some savvy and lucky investments.
This culminated about 5 years ago, when I became pregnant. I will admit, I did not handle it with grace because I was not certain that I wantes to have children, nor did I want to bring a child into this world who cpuld pote tially inherit my Depression and Anxiety, and his Bipolar and Schizophrenia. I ended up running away back to my parents home, without telling him, and was there for weeks, during which I miscarried, which sadly I feel grateful for. I feel terrible about being happy about this, even to this day, but at the time it was a relief. My husband however basically went off the deep end. He didn't eat for 12 days, didnt drink wster for 12 days, didn't take his meds for 12 days, didn't sleep for 12 days, and the worst of his cutting happened during these 12 days. After that, he was incarcerated at a mental hospital after an altercation with the police, until I finally gathered the courage to return home and found him missing (the police ended up putting the pieces together and telling me where he was).
When I saw him, I was shocked. He was quite literally skin and bones. His eyes where still sunken in from a lack of sleep. And I will never forget the fresh scars on his arms. According to both himself, he thought that I had left him, he went off his meds, and the voices told him that the only way to "win me back" was to prove that he was good enough to go without the crutches. I have never, ever felt so guilty in my life, because I shouldn't have bolted like that, and I shouldn't have kept him in the dark about it. Maybe of I had been better then, things would be different, but alas here we are.
The man I knew is now gone. He was kind, fun-loving, gentle, great in bad, and more importantly he wanted to have a real relationshio and be better then his parents. Now, he doesn't do anything for himself. Literally the week after he came hoeme, he went WFH full time. While I am at work, he is at home all the time. The dishes are always done. Food is always on the table. The garden never has any weeds. The floors are always dusted. All of these things we used to do together, and we enjoyed doing it together. Now when I get home at the end of the day, there is nothing to do with him. Even in bed, things have changed. I mentioned how he used to be a Dom, and me a Sub, well thats completely inverted now. I have to tell him what to do, and even then all he does is pleasure me, but when I try to reciprocate it, he doesn't respond and it always ends with him getting me off and thats it. He doesn't express any emotion for himself. Its always for me
Its not just this stuff between us either. Its like he is not even living his life anymore. He used to be great friends with his coworkers and other from the nieghborhood and go out once or twice a week. Now he doesn't even talk to them or anyone else outside of work or the 1 minute of small talk whikst getting the mail. His favorite band of all time was having an anniversary tour, and he got tickets months in advance. When the time came around, I had a business trip to go on, and he insisted on not only taking a day off work to drop me off at the airport, but he also skipped the concert to pick me up. Mind you, this band was what got him through his rough childhood, and this man has posters plastered over the walls, and listens to them non-stop. And he skipped their concert to pick me up from the fucking airport. I did not even ask him to do it, I was originally going to take an Uber to and from, and I told him to go to the concert. Lo and behold, there he was waiting at the airport for me.
I have tried to talk with him about all of this, so many times, and his usual response is something like, "If you are happy, then I am happy" even though I know thats not true. The man waits on me hand and foot, does everything to make me happy, and I can tell that he is the inverse of happy. I don't/can't complain about what he is doing, because I am the cause of this and because he does everything for me, to try and make me happy.
Its like...he isn't living life actively anymore. Everything is just a routine for him. Only once has the facade ever broken, and it was when I found him curled up on our bed, in the middle of the day, sobbing his eyes put. He just kept telling me not to leave him, over and over again, for hours, which is how I know this is my fault.
I really have no idea what to do anymore. I have resorted to doing things I know he liked to do, just so that he can live some part of his life. I love this man, but he is a husk of his former self, and I miss him so much. I would do anything to get him back, but I just don't know what to do.
We have tried therapy together for a year now, and individually he has been in therapy for a very log time. Nothing seems to be working. If I have to throw myself off a bridge so that he can forget about me and live normally, I would do it at this point. I normally would not come onto the internet for advice from strangers, but I have no idea what to do, and I desperatly need suggestions/ideas on how to fix things between us.

2024.06.02 08:30 MrsBlueEyedDevil95 ATIA for not giving up my wedding anniversary?
Hey! First time reddit poster, but long time watcher. That sounds creepy... Lol. Anyways... Backstory. I'm going to change up names and stuff for privacy purposes. Me, F24 (will be 25 in July) have step siblings. I'm the youngest. We all (except one) have a July birthday. About a week each apart, but different years. I got married in July last year. As my parents did too years ago. My step parent wanted us to get together and have birthday celebration for all of us. We do every year, not a big deal, it's fun, right? My step parent wanted me to give up my first wedding anniversary that my spouse and I have planned for months on what exactly we wanted to do and such. My step parent kept saying since we didn't have any reservations or anything of that nature that we could just move it to another day and celebrate everyone's birthday. I straight up said no that we had plans and she kept pushing. I suggested other days and stuff and my step parent kept persisting it. I finally put my foot down and told them straight up no. Parent has another trip going on with my actual parent and didn't want to give up their anniversary trip early.. I suggested another day where we didn't have to give up. Step parent did not like that and said we'd do it on this day. (The day that cuts their trip short) Whatever I will say we've done these celebrations before on my actual birthday and step parent got mad at me one year because i went out with friends on my day and decided to do a birthday celebration last minute on my birthday. Same thing happened last year but I sucked it up and went bc i was getting married that July.

2024.06.02 08:29 MaddieWolf99 AITA for uninviting my STEP SIL from my wedding?
My (22)M fiancé and I (24)F wedding is coming up this winter. It’s a small venue with limited space. Luckily we still were able to invite everyone that’s important to us. We decided on a no small children wedding due to the venue size and photographer equipment safety. (We have a huge security deposit on it.) We absolutely love children. We’ve been trying to conceive ourselves. Sadly already once ending in a miscarriage.
Fast-forward to the day everyone starts receiving their invitations. My fiancé’s STEP sister received her invite and instead of coming to us about her concerns. She calls 5 different family members telling them “how dare we request for no children under the age of 10 to attend.” (She has a 9y and 11m) By the time she called us we had already heard from 3 of the family members. Side note : She is the only girl of 6 kids(step and biological) between his parents. She was never told no and is very spoiled and entitled.
She belittled us saying things like “If I can’t bring them I’m not coming! It’s not my fault y’all have failed to become parents” etc. until my fiancé was on the verge of tears. He’s not a crier. He really wanted her to be there. So after over 10 mins of the nonsense, I told her she can bring them but that she is to sit in the back. She was happy, I walked away. My husband came to me 5 min later, handed me his phone. She then did not ask, but told me, her son was my ring bearer and that her daughter is our flower girl. I snapped and told her NO. She was annoyed, but I didn’t give in.
This was a conversation between her and my fiancé that I overheard before we got engaged. Him - “ Ya, I really love her I think she’s the one” SIL - “Don’t go jumping into anything, like you’ve never even had a long term gf trust me she ain’t it” Him - “oh stop, I love her. We get along so well.” SIL- “You’ve only been dating for 4 1/2 months, you can’t say you love her” Him- “I just did” SIL- “Well I’m just trying to make sure you aren’t being used” Him- “she’s amazing you aren’t even listening to anything I’m saying. I think she’s the one.. I am gonna marry this girl just you watch!” SIL - “please don’t say that, don’t go getting attached to short term females like her..” Him- “STOP, she’s a good women.” SIL- “are you sure (his name), are you sure???” Him - “yes I am sure now drop it she’s getting out of the shower”
Multiple of my friends have notice how she speaks to/interacts with my fiancé. They all find it weird. One saying “it seems like she wants to … her step bro”
At this point idk what to do about it. She’s already tried to pull crazy stunts including ask my fiancé if she could wear a white dress since my dress is technically ivory. He told her no, gave her the list of colors she can wear. Her words “oh gosh, your wedding colors are gross” (it’s our 2 favorite colors and used in weddings a lot).
So Reddit AITA for wanting to uninvited my STEP SIL to avoid drama on my big day?

2024.06.02 08:28 No-Neighborhood3323 Boyfriend unrecognizable while drunk
I(24F) and my boyfriend (26M) just had our worst fight yet. We have been together for 6 years and our relationship is very healthy overall and I consider us being really happy together and communicating well with no large trust issues.
My boyfriend rarely gets drunk but today it was his friend’s birthday so he got home very drunk. I was already upset with him drinking so much and then he mentioned a girl who he kissed once 10 years ago( he didn’t say it like that) that was there and I got into a stupid jealousy argument when I saw he followed her and liked some of her posts. I didn’t really suspect something and it didn’t bother me too much honestly and I think just because I was already upset at him I was picking fights. I know I am at fault for starting accusing him and arguing when he clearly was drunk but what came next I did not expect. My boyfriend started getting so mad he became unrecognizable. He started saying to me the most hurtful things like: that I am always like that with my stupid trauma and insecurities ruining our relationship he was screaming over and over with trears “why are you like this” “why are you like this”. He just was screaming at me fck you fck this. He was acting unrecognizable where I never heard him talk to me and treat me this way ever. I was just sitting shocked when he kept going on and on slurring his words saying the most terrible things to me. When he saw me crying he said he doesn’t even care I can cry as much as I want to. I was checking something on my phone and he took the phone from my hands because he thought it was his phone and when he realized it was actually my phone he threw my phone on the floor. He was clearly really drunk and I did my best through the tears to help him lay down and sleep but I am just crying in bed still in shock of what just happened. He never showed any signs of violence or aggression before so I really don’t even know how to process it. He started crying after I layed him down and he was crying over and over how sorry he is and how much he loves me.
I want to make it clear that I am not gonna just leave him after 6 years because of an isolated case like this. But I want an advice of how can I move forward with this and how do I bring it up to him? I doubt he would even remember anything he said. I feel like even though I shouldn’t have started arguing with him liking this girl’s insta pictures he was way way overreacting to it. I love him very much and he makes me always so happy that’s why this is just shaking up my world. i just want to know how can we leave this behind us but also make sure this won’t happen again?
What is the best way to go about it without letting it ruin our relationship?
TLDR: boyfriend of 6 years was bordeline abusive when drunk which is really out of character for him. I love him very much and I want to know of how to move on from this situation but make sure this won’t happen again.

2024.06.02 08:27 Personal_Cow_4162 My son has been estranged on and off for over 5 years
Just wondering why it’s the new thing for it seems people to cut off their parents. I get severe abuse but while I wasn’t perfect by any means I raised my son from being 18 years old worker super hard went to school dealt with physical and mental abuse from his father so much so he went to jail. Fast forward, he finds someone in his early 20s and ends up paying for everything while working and going to school with my money as well. I don’t say much just ask the normal questions that concerned parents have when monetary questions come up and other minor things but only to him. Very minor things. I help with two degrees, rent, cars everything. Suddenly, after being with her he has a different beliefs on everything and while I get people evolve to this level and extent was definitely concerning. Ended up in counseling with him for a year while I am getting sick really sick I just ask for a chance with him - yet I feel this entire time I don’t bring up religion or politics which to be fair I never did before I would just go over things like I do think he is and was starting to just 100% be about her which is fine but so many changes so many of us being slowly distanced from but was happy to take any financial help from me so did she. Fast forward helped her with job didn’t exactly work out I was upset - meanwhile I never said anything to her only to my son. The were just living together but I understand not the best but I did it just like I feel many parents are concerned or can get frustrated esp since I was still helping financial and she went through career and jobs and everyone else was toxic and she was not speaking to her parents for years. He never cuts off contact from dad ever he is good guy the one that refused to help him his entire life, picked drugs and beating me over his son and helped his new kids with everything. He resumes contact with me after even cutting off my parents that treated him like a son even when my dad is sick just zero. Has over and over again said I don’t make her feel welcome or accepted oddly I have never felt the same I went out of my way besides a few statements about work to him only been humble and nice and helped them always with nothing expected. His dad introduced them. After I found out he got married from social media, I did lose it - we had been talking maybe once or twice a month and he always was scared to talk to me once he got near her being around and moved out of state. I knew something must be going on when I was crying and asking why he said I was being a victim that I am reactionary a lot of therapy speak but no apology just basically not a big deal and she doesn’t feel accepted I said what can I do I have apologized, send notes prior, acknowledge holidays zero worked. He said we all need therapy I agreed even though last time there were incidents he said happened that didn’t happen like I made fun of him at a birthday dinner by saying he was too serious at 16 was abusive. I still apologized. When I was blocked again after 5 years and spending less time than 3 hours with him in person I lost it - I did write emails about how I’ve been begging and walking on eggshells to gain acceptance and if this and a lot more but I had held in everything for years just pretending I am a horrible parent all her words btw - when I agreed to therapy he blocks me again and nothing makes sense unless it’s her even is own dad says it is. He is being 100% controlled by her and it’s rough being cut off. I am so depressed and my treatments are barely helping because of the chronic depression and anxiety - his dad still around so are her parents. I have apologized, letters emails calls and then left it alone for a year before he would send a birthday card or note or flowers or Mother’s Day he sends his two siblings Amazon cards only two weeks late. Barely speaks to them or my parents - doesn’t acknowledge me at all no cards no emails zero contact. I wrote a letter one of many to her no response.
I pray every day that my son will accept me for someone that can never be perfect but estrangement is so devastating I don’t diminish serious cases of abuse but that isn’t the case here. No parents are perfect they can try. I don’t understand why I can’t even get something back just hope nothing more. For children, please consider how devastating and depressing it can be to erase the person that gave you their all and sacrificed whatever you needed. I am not perfect again but I know in my heart I do not deserve no contact. It is like grieving a death and begging knowing I have zero ability to change it I even asked please if you can just let me know if there is a chance you will forgive me and speak to me no response- my dad is sick and I am sick - for kids that are thinking this is the only way it’s super hard. Beyond devastating.
Anything I can do?

2024.06.02 08:26 Lonely_Elk_17 AITAH for wanting to slap some common sense into my sister?
I (15F) and my Older sister Eli (22F) have gotten along for most of my childhood, I remember her as my hero and Shield for helping me and my younger sister Luz (12F) to not get grounded. But over the past few years I can see how she changed as a person, for context, I was her first course of help and advise before my parents because I was well known for knowing more than a 30 year old person, I was the first one to know when she decided to get married at the age of 18 with her now ex Vincent (21M). I was her Bridesmaids and the one that helped her thought the whole thing, like choices of dresses and Make-up, as well as Hair, basically her right hand.
Not long after the marriage Vincent came to my parents house, asking if we've seen her wife, apparently, they got into a fight over some texts on Eli's phone during a party, Vincent was mad, as he had a right to be, his mother was on his side as my mom and dad called Eli with no response. This happened one day before my 13th birthday, I was upset as to why she had runned away and not told me anything as she did always. The next day Eli came to my parents house for some clothes, she looked miserable, she told my dad she was staying over her Grandparents (me and her are only related thanks to my father), my father got mad at her, and she cried in me and now Luz' room for at least an hour, I said nothing because my father told me to.
For months we lost contact with her, and we didn't knew were or with who she was. Until she actually reached out to us, se tried to fix her relationship with Us over gifts, visits and even calls, my mom and dad Helped Eli thought the whole divorce process, everything was okay until we lost contact with her once again. My mom was pissed but said nothing, as well as my dad. Some months later we come to contact again, she told us she had some problems with her partner (who I just had the chance to meet like five times), but everything was okay now. Until her partner died from Blood cancer, she was devastated and she slept with us for a few days, during those few days I stayed up all night to watch over her (me and my sisters slept in the same room and bed), as she talked and moved during her sleep, I bought a night lamp so she could fell secure as she was now scared of darkness, and my mother noticed, she thanked me for taking care of Eli and Luz during sleep.
Our relationship grew, until she found another partner, and left her old MIL's house. Her partner was really chill, overall a great guy, but I never got to meet him fully. They broke up at least 2 times and got back before actually breaking up because the guy cheated. Not a month latter Eli got another partner, During that time as she lived in my parents house, she got into a Fight/Chat with my mom, I was present to whole thing where she claimed she had Depression, anxiety and other problems I can't recall, she never actually went to therapy so she was self diagnosing herself (I hate when people do that). During the fight she claimed that no one cares about her and she had to endure everything alone basically forgetting how I stayed up at night watching over her, helping her to distract herself on other stuff, taking her side at most fights etcetera. I told her "You have a family who cares about you, if you can't see that, is your problem because you're so selfish and Mentally unstable" She looked at me with shocked eyes as I was always a person to keep silent during fights, she told me to not get into the fight as it wasn't none of my business, I told her to suck it up because it was the truth and I went to sleep.
She became distant of me and I didn't mind, I had my friends to distract myself from my family problems. She had at least 2 or 3 other relationships after the during fight guy. She got with a guy who I don't like in any way a few months ago, she now lives with him. She had at least fought with him over 5 times, everytime she "Broke up" with him she would go with me and my mom, Telling us how she will not come back with him because of how he and his mother treats her, at one point my mom got mad, and my dad had to give Eli a long talk as he always did when something wrong happened.
1 month ago my dad died from a heart attack and blood cancer related. I was the one to maintain my composure for more long, i basically helped the rest of my family during the whole funeral, watching over my sister and mother when they slept. Eli cried, saying how she didn't said she loved my dad enough, or that she had a lot to things to apologize for, she hugged the box for the longest as my mother cried uncontrollably, mainly my two sisters and mom cried in my shoulders and chest as I only let some tears go.
We became more closer with my sister, only two days later Eli told us that her MIL told her to suck up her pain as my dad was already dead and another stuff (she sent us an audio of her MIL saying this). I obviously got mad and I told her to tell her MIL to f off.
In the 9th day of my dad's passing (as my dad's family is very religious) they made a praying, I didn't felt good and Eli took me outside, I talked to her and I cried so hard on her shoulder, my eyes where swollen and I could barely Oppen them. She told me that I could rely on her anytime I wanted, going to the beach, for a walk, anytime I wished. Everything went well until her birthday a few weeks ago. We visited and cleaned my dads grave, she told us how her partner called her all sorts of hurtful names because the guy saw her with another dude on a bike (her best friends boyfriend), she told us how her MIL called her name's and made her the bay guy, Bethen other things. She told us she was not going to get back with him, two days latter she went out with her friend, she didn't came Back until 9am the next day, apparently she went back with her "ex" over some cute words he told her, and that was it. Shes now on a business trip, she's posting stuff with her boyfriend and cute stuff that I now find disgusting realising how toxic that couple is.
I realised that Eli can't be without a man, I don't know what to do or what to tell her so she could realize that he's not the one as she said in her WhatsApp status. I can't let her live like this, i really care about her, i suggested therapy but she brushed it off, my mother told me to let her go, but I don't want Eli to end in the streets, or something to happen to her. She's my sister and I care about her, but anytime I want to talk to her privately my mother tells me to not do it and that is not worth it.
So, AITAH for wanting to slap some common sense into my sister?

2024.06.02 08:25 littl-snail How am I supposed to cope with my upcoming 18th birthday?
I'm not going to kill myself. I thought about it since the new year so if I truly wanted to those thoughts would've turned into action before I had six days left. I do not want to be an adult for many reasons: I have no parents or family to rely on. The people I live with belittle me and have been breaking me down mentally even further than I already am. They helped make my already distressing birthdays from 15-17 traumatic. Being a csa victim, I suffer everyday in many ways and I feel like I haven't emotionally aged beyond eight years old. I'm still distressed about things I should've gotten over like how my favorite video games are changing, my favorite places are changing, I don't have any of my elementary-early middle school friends to play with, and everyone else is growing up. People mistaking me for a woman when I'm a girl or calling me ma'am makes me sick. And I know when I turn this evil age my world will flip for the worst. And nobody cares.

2024.06.02 08:24 Possible_Earth_6508 Who here hates that Jackie died and then Ellie was brought back?
I was so happy that it worked and then she died, and I felt so bad for Ty because he just lost the love of his life. Although they were in high school, they were so cute and so perfect and he always tried to protect her. It wasn't fair. Then they bring back Ellie like she matters and can make up the loss of Jackie. Plus, Lucas is just allowed to roam freely?? He's an Echo! Go back to the well house, you're dead! This was absolutely devastating and I don't really expect season 3 to be good.

Reviews🔗Reliable, LED Distress Flare for Safe Navigationhttps://preview.redd.it/zzs62njqp34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=240c4e8fd834bf3f8ff087f52826ee983db02bc0 As a boater, I've always been wary of traditional pyrotechnic flares for safety reasons. That's why, when I came across the ACR ResQFlare Electronic Distress Flare & Flag, I knew I had to give it a try. This innovative device has been designed to provide a safer, more reliable alternative to traditional pyrotechnic flares and can even be carried in lieu of them. What stood out the most was the 360-degree visibility from over six miles away. Not only did it provide excellent visibility during emergencies, but it also had a significantly longer burn time than traditional flares. Its lightweight, compact size, and floatability made it incredibly easy to use – all while being fungus, corrosion, and water-resistant. The ACR ResQFlare also comes with a distress flag, which, when carried together, qualifies as a replacement for traditional pyrotechnic flares. It's a perfect addition to any ditch bag, especially considering that it doesn't go out of date, saving me time and avoids the hassle of replacement. One downside I faced was the lack of a lanyard attached to the device. While it floats upright in water, there are better options available that might be more visible in daylight compared to the ACR ResQFlare. However, as a safety device, the ACR ResQFlare still gets the job done without the risk of fire or injury. In conclusion, the ACR ResQFlare Electronic Distress Flare & Flag is a great addition to any boater's safety arsenal. It's easy to use, safe, and provides excellent visibility during emergencies. Its longevity and added convenience make it a worthy choice as a replacement for traditional pyrotechnic flares. 🔗ACR ResQFlare Electronic Distress Flare Kit for Maritime Safetyhttps://preview.redd.it/92rrqywqp34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e11b308d08b2d402ce3c254de0f19a9912a2816 As someone who spends quite a bit of time on the water, I've often found myself worried about carrying traditional pyrotechnic flares due to their potential hazards. That's why I was thrilled to try the ACR ResQFlare E-flare and Drybag Safety Kit. This handy device is an excellent alternative - it's compact, easy to use, and most importantly, safe. One of the features that stood out for me was its daytime distress flag. This flag is bright and noticeable, ensuring that I could be seen even in daylight conditions. Carried together with the ResQFlare, they meet the applicable U. S. Coast Guard requirements, making them a reliable safety tool to carry on my boat. Of course, like any product, there are a few aspects I would have liked to see improved. The ResQFlare could benefit from a more durable design, as the plastic casing feels a bit flimsy. Additionally, considering the cost, I would have expected the kit to come with more than just one distress flag. Overall, the ACR ResQFlare E-flare and Drybag Safety Kit has become an essential part of my boating gear. It provides a safe and effective way to signal for help in case of an emergency, and I feel more confident knowing I have it on board. 🔗Premium Extend-A-Fender Flares for Ultimate Tire Coveragehttps://preview.redd.it/hkxcmsdrp34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08380cca2847cdaf692b9ffc8be35c3f943b3e42 I recently added the Bushwacker 20971-02 fender flares to my car, and let me tell you, they looked pretty good on there. These flares are a bit on the thin side but once I installed them, they felt pretty sturdy. The biggest downside was the rubber weather-strip, it kept falling off and seemed to be made of a poor quality material. I ended up having to call Bushwacker and they sent me a replacement part. Overall, I'm happy with the product, but I wish the rubber weather-strip was of higher quality. 🔗Bushwacker Max Coverage Pocket Style UV-Protected Fender Flareshttps://preview.redd.it/bbcf0qmrp34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=069dd6d7960668bf606501f4c848669a5d5182d6 I've had the pleasure of trying out the Bushwacker Max Coverage Pocket Style Fender Flares, and I must say, I'm impressed! These bad boys add an extra 2.25 inches of tire coverage from the wheel well, which is perfect for my truck's bigger tires and wider wheels. The aggressive off-road style they bring to the table is truly one of a kind. The fender flares install easily right out of the box, and they're built tough with Dura-Flex 2000 material. It's wrap-resistant and boasts added durability and flexibility on the trail, thanks to its thick construction. Despite their rugged appearance, these fender flares are a piece of cake to install without any drilling, and they blend in seamlessly with the rest of my truck's bodywork. Sure, there can be a few minor hiccups in painting them to match your ride, but overall, the Bushwacker Max Coverage Pocket Style Fender Flares are an excellent investment for truck and SUV owners looking for enhanced tire coverage. 🔗Versatile 3/32" Thick Acrylic Sheet for Bulk Purchasehttps://preview.redd.it/fentqiwrp34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7597d34f896285425ed0508b8f6e01e9b9853b5f I recently got my hands on a 3/32" thick Cast Acrylic sheet, measuring 6" wide and 6" long. As someone who appreciates the unique blend of function and aesthetics, this product was a delight to work with. With its optically clear nature, it allowed me to create projects that were visually pleasing while maintaining strength and durability. Despite being quite small, this sheet still served its purpose well in a variety of applications. Its moisture-resistant properties ensured that my work kept its clear edge even in humid conditions. The fact that it's thin made it lightweight to handle and easy to cut, making it a favorite for my DIY projects. However, it's worth mentioning that while the product is strong, it might not be ideal for projects requiring extreme durability or heavy-duty usage. Additionally, if you're planning larger projects, you might find that ordering these sheets in bulk would be more convenient. Overall, this Cast Acrylic sheet proved to be a reliable and versatile tool for my crafting needs. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional, this product could have a place in your toolbox. 🔗Clear 1/4 Inch Thick Acrylic Sheet for Glass Window Replacement and Various Applicationshttps://preview.redd.it/zg7hsfesp34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4b7c3415d7551f312071217ba81e751014b0b3bf I recently gave the SOURCEONE. ORG Premium 1/4 Clear Acrylic Plexiglass Sheet a try in my home renovation project, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer. I used it for my kitchen window replacement, and it offered the perfect balance of durability and style. The clear 1/4 inch thick acrylic was incredibly easy to work with - I was able to saw, route, drill, form, bend, and even cement it without any hassle. The result? . A stunning, sturdy window that has held up great against the outdoor elements. The best part? . It's lighter and stronger than glass, making it an excellent investment for any outdoor application.

I had been looking for a durable and stylish fender flare for my Chevrolet truck. With Bushwacker's reputation for quality and performance, I decided to give them a try. First of all, installing these flares took no more than 10 minutes, even for someone like me with minimal car modification experience. One look, and I was sold on their sleek and modern design, perfect for my truck. What stood out the most were the materials used. Dura-Flex 2000 material offers durability, flexibility, and built-in UV protection. It's safe to say that these flares have become an integral part of my truck's exterior, and the 2.25-inch tire coverage is just an added bonus. But what sets them apart from other flares on the market is the fact that they resist chalking, cracking, and warping. I've had several cars and trucks over the years, and this is the first time I've found a product that genuinely stands up to wear and tear. However, one downside I noticed was that the flares' finish seemed to get a little scuffed during the installation process. But since they're sold in an OE matte black finish, it blends in quite nicely. If you're someone who likes to personalize their look, you could always paint them to match your vehicle's color scheme. All in all, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender Flares have been a game-changer for my car's overall appearance and performance. Highly recommended for anyone looking to upgrade the look of their vehicle. 🔗Acrylic Sheet: Versatile and Strong Plastic Panels for Multiple Applicationshttps://preview.redd.it/26v90e2tp34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24740ee8da268d4926fc0d08901d529e8d2568e8 Recently, I stumbled upon the Umootek 3 Pieces Acrylic Sheet Clear Cast Plexiglass 12 x 12 Inches Square Panel 14 Thick (6mm) Clear Plastic Plexi Perspex Plate Panel. Fascinated by its unique design, I decided to give it a try in my daily life. What stood out to me the most was its strength and durability. As someone who loves DIY projects, I appreciated that this product could be heated and shaped without breaking it. It was also incredibly easy to cut through it, leaving no traces of cracking. The transparency of this acrylic sheet was exceptional, and its light transmission properties made it perfect for displaying delicate objects. In fact, its smooth surface and high hardness made it an ideal replacement for glass, allowing me to create a custom protective cover for my aquarium. However, one downside I noticed was the thickness of the acrylic sheet. While it was strong and durable, it also made it a bit cumbersome to handle during certain projects. But overall, my experience with this acrylic sheet was pleasant, and I appreciate the versatility it offers for various applications. 🔗Ferrero Collection Premium Advent Calendar 2023https://preview.redd.it/lagxwdstp34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d6c8a1fb31d687aad7b5928a88653c716647ef5 Oh, the Ferrero Collection Advent Calendar! .

The size of 14.8 ounces or 420 grams made it perfect for my needs, fitting nicely in my refrigerator. The EPA's approval of R600a and its adherence to the regulations in 40 CFR Part 82.17 provided me with peace of mind. Using it as per their guidelines gave me confidence in the product. One of the standout features for me was its purity, boasting a 99.7% pharmaceutical-grade quality. This high purity level ensured the efficient functioning of my refrigeration unit, and it didn't disappoint. However, there was one downside that I encountered during my use. Despite the decent amount of refrigerant provided, it didn't last as long as I desired, and I had to make more frequent replacements than expected. Overall, while the R600a refrigerant did its job in keeping my refrigerator cool and maintaining a consistent temperature, I wish it lasted a bit longer. 🔗Clear Acrylic Sheet: Versatile and Durable Glass Alternativehttps://preview.redd.it/pjdlsrtup34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e67b3780e3ec289a8e49544766dd39b07b5bd20 I recently gave the Fab Glass and Mirror Plexiglass Sheets a try, and I must say, they've been a game-changer in my daily life. These sheets provide a clear and sturdy alternative to glass, and I've found that they're ideal for a variety of applications. Whether I'm crafting a DIY photo frame or creating a chic welcome sign, the plexiglass sheets never fail to impress. The most impressive feature is their durability. They've withstood quite a few knocks and scrapes without showing any signs of wear and tear. And the best part? They're just as effective outdoors as they are indoors, making them an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. The clarity of these sheets has also proven to be a major selling point. They allow light to pass through effortlessly, making them perfect for display cases and signage. That being said, I did experience a minor drawback. The sheets do tend to attract dirt easily, which can be a bit of a hassle when it comes to cleaning. Overall, however, the pros far outweigh the cons, and I'd definitely recommend these plexiglass sheets to anyone in need of a clear and sturdy material for their projects. 🔗Cricut Acetate Sheets for Cutting Plotters: 12x12cm Transparent Sheetshttps://preview.redd.it/jh1x5uxvp34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae7277dd1a69dc73305c266b044fb5833e791351 I recently had the opportunity to try out the Cricut Acetate Sheets, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint! I was working on a project that required some extra-clear stencils, and these sheets were the perfect solution. The best part? They worked perfectly in my Cricut machine without any issues. The acetate sheets were incredibly easy to use, and the stencils I made came out looking flawless. I especially loved the protective film on both sides of the sheets, which kept them looking pristine until I was ready to start cutting. The acetate itself was crystal clear, making it a great choice for any project where a clean and precise cut is essential. However, I did notice that the acetate can be a bit fragile if not handled with care. I had a few accidents where the sheets scratched or got a few small dings, but luckily, they were easily fixed with a bit of polishing. Overall, I'm thrilled with the Cricut Acetate Sheets and will definitely be using them in future projects. Highly recommended! 🔗Powerful Honda-Engine Aerator for Lawn Maintenancehttps://preview.redd.it/j4x5qwyvp34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=761d9762bef12c5d829291b93cdde0ee08eed98d My first experience with the Billy Goat PL1800 Mechanical Aerator was nothing short of impressive. The powerful Honda GX120 engine, offering up to 118cc, makes short work of those pesky aerating tasks, clearing up to 22,000 sq ft with ease. Its foldable handle truly comes to the rescue when it comes to transporting this beast between jobs, as well as providing a compact storage solution when not in use. I was amazed at how effortlessly it maneuvered over rough terrain, thanks to its 12-inch semi-pneumatic tires that add not just stability but ease of operation as well. However, there were a couple of cons I noticed too. The maintenance aspect, although easy with one-piece removable covers, could be more convenient with a bit of tool-free access. Also, this behemoth could do with some noise reduction – a feature that would be welcomed by any lawn-loving neighbor. All in all, it's no wonder why this PL1800H model is the go-to choice for many lawn enthusiasts. Yes, it's a bit noisy, and the maintenance might be slightly tricky at times. But the power, the maneuverability, and that green, lush lawn it provides? Worth every penny. 🔗Versatile Cricut Clear Acetate Sheets for Creative Projectshttps://preview.redd.it/lflftsawp34d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05c0213685864619ffdd1340ea30c1d4628c2dc9 These Cricut Clear Acetate Sheets were recently making a major splash in my daily crafting routine. Perfect for stamping, embossing, or cutting, these sheets have become indispensable for my creative projects. Not only have they found their way into crafting gift boxes, they also came in handy when I was making custom window cards for friends' birthdays. One of the key selling points of these sheets is their anti-scratch film, ensuring that the product remains in prime condition till the very end. With their ability to work seamlessly with Cricut machines or any other sturdy crafting machinery out there, I knew I had stumbled upon a product that would become a staple in my craft room for ages to come. The user-friendly aspect of these sheets was definitely a standout feature. Not only were they easy to use, but they also made my project look so much better in an instant. In terms of drawbacks, there was a minor issue with the sheets potentially scratching easily especially after the protective film was removed. However, with a bit of extra care during handling, this was something entirely manageable. My experience with these sheets was absolutely fantastic! They have been the perfect addition to my crafting arsenal. Their versatility never ceases to amaze me. No matter what project I throw at them, they always seem to pull through with flying colors. I highly recommend investing in these sheets for your next project, no matter what it may be. Buyer's GuideWelcome to the buyer's guide for Acr Resqflare products.

2024.06.02 08:20 No_Asparagus_8564 I just want to end this
I see no point in living anymore honestly … since I became since in 2013 I saw my girlfriend walk out my hospital room to never see her again to my very good friend and my best friend both passing away to then have a friend of mine cut me out her life because “‘my situation is too negative to deal with it makes it so I start the day with a negative energy and I can’t live like this” and after she said that to me I spoken to her twice to then have a girl who I was talking too for ten years I go to finally date her and she used me for her irs penalty payment and when I bought her a plane ticket to come see me on my birthday she didn’t show because on instagram I left a friend of mine a comment with emojis (not sexual or flirting) I literally commented on her Jordan’s she Took for a Kicks Of The Day picture and she then left me for a clown from my neighborhood to then she released my nudes all over the internet (which I did not care because I’m blessed in that area) as well as posting the pictures and my phone number is some gay singles thing where I had men contacting me smh. Alllll this while dealing with severe chronic pain doctors every week sometimes three times a week. I literally do not know how it feels to be loved or have someone care about me anymore and it’s crazy because I’m not ugly I’m good looking even after suffering from duhnbar syndrome and losing over 75lbs! All I want is for a woman to love me for me and care about me I been abused mentally so much by women in the past and by people in general I’m so tired of this everyone around me is married or has children I have nobody , nobody to carry my family name just nobody I been fighting for my health and to stay alive for what???? Just to be around watching everyone else in happiness while all i know is pain I been thinking what would be the best way to take a bunch of my painkillers or to just put the AK47 to my forehead since nobody ever loved me what’s the use of my handsome face if nobody loves it everyone thinks good looking people have it easy I did up until 19 then I got sick and I just been a handsome face that nobody wants I’m not 32 and I think I’m not happy to say but this will be the last year I see 2024 I don’t want to live no more

2024.06.02 08:16 jgxgjg Venting out
This might get long but go through it.Venting it out here cause I can't share this with anyone. Let's go straight to the point- I want my parents to get divorced. My father is neither a good father nor a good husband. Our family looks all normal and happy from outside but we all are really fucked up. My father doesn't even love my mom. He used to be an alcoholic when they got married. I wonder why my mom chose to be with him when she had a chance to just walk away from this marriage(me and my bro weren't even born at that time). My mom is the man of the family. She holds us back together. My father he never supports my mom. It's pretty evident from what he does. All they do is fight,they never come up with mutual decision. When I look up to my cousin's parents or any other couples around me ,I just wish if my parents were like them.
I hate my father but this doesn't mean that I don't love him. Most of the people have their father as a role model and they look up to them but I don't. He's aggressive,never talks politely with my mom, emotionless. I'm scared my brother will turn out to be like him. He doesn't respect me or even my mom.
I can't look up to any men around me as some are disrespectful, coward, pedophiles and what not. I'd rather die than end up with someone like my father. I ain't generalizing but I don't think a man will ever love a wo(me)n. I used to talk to this guy for months ,late night calls and chats I got addicted ,caught feelings for him, he even confessed that he likes me but at last what he said was he never gave me any hints. Idk why he would do that to me. It was hard for me to accept but I was somehow trying to hold up everything,act normal but one day he comes up saying why are you ignoring me. Bro I seriously dk how to answer that fuckin question.
Talking about my academic I was really good till my high school but now it's going downfall. Ik I've my responsibility,I wanna give the best life to my mom but just can't fuckin concentrate on my study. Everything is so messed up. Some might come up with this is pretty normal,grow up kiddo. I ain't victimizing myself rather just venting out.
Thanks for reading. Kk lekheko jasto bhako cha but I'm just writing what was inside of me since so long.

2024.06.02 08:16 Various_Grass_2118 Found Out Husband Has Been Receiving Child Support And Has Been Using It For His Alcoholism Through A Secret Account
I 33(f) have been married to my husband 39(m) for 6 years. I will call him Eric. Eric had a child (Ted) from a previous relationship and we also share another. We have been together for 12 years.
When we met I was an extreme party girl (21) who loved liquor and Eric was a daily beer drinker at home long before I came along. I did not see it for what it really was at the time. I was happy to have a partner who was a great dad from what I could tell (like my step-dad) and who knew how to also have a good time. It is what made me notice him in the first place.
He had his son (Ted) 50% of the time. Because of me, Eric and I essentially lived a double life for the first 6 months we were together. When Ted was at his moms I would go to parties with my friends and bring Eric every weekend and sometimes once during the week. However, I was very attentive when we did have Ted and loved taking care of him.
6 months into our relationship I was in a dnd accident which was my fault. Through that process I found AA and met amazing people and tried to get Eric to come with me. After 2 times he didn't want to go anymore. Him not quitting with me caused a lot of arguements. Our relationship was getting more toxic so I broke things off 2.5 months after my dnd accident. A few weeks later my step-father suddenly passed away traumatically.
He was my anchor to this world and was my everything. He was the one parent who didn't abuse me and was ever present. I almost immediately reached out to Eric because I selfishly wanted to be what my step-dad was for me to Ted in my grief. They were all close. We got back together and moved in together because we were losing my family home.
After moving in together: Eric's drinking did not improve. 3 tallboys or a 6 pack or more a night. Nothing I did or said changed his response and defiance.
Over the next year, we had a newborn. I had an emergency c section and was going through some deep dark post partum depression. He drank and was disconnected but worked hard. It was so hard for me I wanted to end it all many nights but did not. A couple years later, Ted's mom had overdosed on heroin but was revived and sent away to rehab. We had him full time for 3 years.
I had grown up exponentially since I met Eric into a woman who I was proud to be. I changed my ways and was a diplomatic mother figure to Ted and mother to his sibling.
Shortly after Ted's mom was back in the picture (Eric and I were already married by this time) we found out that we were going to be stuck with a 44k debt of hers that Eric had co-signed on when they were still together. She told us we were fkd and was not going to get a penny out of her because she had no money. Our shared account was zeroed out on multiple occasions when we were pinching pennies to save up for a house. Eric somehow made it go away despite lawyers turning us down and Eric never gave me a real answer on what happened with it. Eventually we got a house. Our forever home.
Years later I am asked to sign documents to account for all income we receive as a couple. We were both to sign the documents. The document asked if we received child support, so I asked him knowing full well years ago he told me she stopped paying years before that. He reluctantly said yes and also reluctantly gave me the amount paid. Also saying the money almost immediately went to Ted's moms 44k debt. We were not in a position to talk deeply about it at that exact time. But noted it. I was asked to provide proof.
After a month of begging for the paperwork and offering simple solutions that were turned down. On the very last day we needed the paperwork I was given it. When I saw it, the math was not making sense. In asking probing questions and repeating them til I got a direct answer he accidentally let it slip that what money isn't going to the unpaid debt is going into his account he uses for his alcoholism and marijuana (legal in our state).
The only account I knew of was our shared account and the separate account I have in my name (that he knows of) to protect our savings from getting pulled in fear of our account getting zeroed out again due to the 44k unpaid debt. He then tried to backtrack but it was already done.
I went completely catatonic. I see money go out of our shared account from his drinking and cigarettes and pulling money for what I assume is for his Marijuana. It did cross my mind sometimes the money (which was a lot) still never seemed to add up to how much drinking and smoking I saw happen which was always a problem. Now it's an even larger problem.
What scares me the most is I feel nothing. I'm hurt but not in the intensity I should be. I know I should be angry, I know this is a HUGE act of betreyal. I'm even nice to him (because im not sure how I truly feel and because I dont want to scare the kids) and I found out only 24 hrs ago. I'm terrified for my future. I pity him.
He stopped drinking the day after Memorial Day because I gave him an ultimatum due to his drinking where he had weeks to prep. For many years he's been an absent father and I've handled all kid stuff. I've also gone to sleep alone almost every night for atleast 10 years because he'll pass out on the couch drinking. It has always been an issue and gets brought up by me almost nightly at times.
He says he's had the card and account for 3 years, I doubt it. I am having him write me a letter confessing everything, what I already know and what I don't know. I'm also having him write in it why he did it and why I should stay with him because I am at a loss.
Being disassoated from what's happening has never happened to me in my life. I've never gone catatonic before. I have always worn my heart on my sleeve. Being the only functioning adult in this relationship practically our whole relationship has already been so hard, but atleast I knew he would never cheat on me and I thought I knew I could trust him. I am questioning my entire life choices now but it still feels like I'm in a dream. That this isn't happening to me even though it is. He says he wants to go to AA with me by his side (I havent gone in many many years, havent needed it, I rarely drink because it reminds me of how much his drinking disgusts me), says he wants to get better, but I feel numb. I don't know what to do or think and hope I will find my answer when he confesses what he will in his letter. I have no idea if it will be enough. It feels like it's too little too late but my heart doesn't want to leave even though I know this empty feeling must mean it's broken. The thought of splitting up our family no longer feels like it's my choice. I'm afraid of losing my self respect if I don't, but I'm also afraid to leave, and leave Ted behind.

The thought of splitting up our family no longer feels like it's my choice. I'm afraid of losing my self respect if I don't, but I'm also afraid to leave, and leave Ted behind.

I had a case of the f***-its this month. A previously sold-out run of 3 lip gloss colors from a brand I like restocked. One of the colors I had in mind for a friend's birthday, the other 2 I had on my wishlist for myself since March, so I bought all 3 (the gift for my friend is allowed based on my rules, but not the 2 for me). I definitely had the scarcity mindset, I didn't want to "miss out." I also got a small eyeshadow palette that had been on my wishlist since February when I saw it while buying allowed items at Target. I don't regret these purchases, but I do want to recommit for the rest of the year. My main issue has historically been clothing but I don't want to change my rules or continue this trend.
The last time I did a no-buy I was living abroad half the year and found it much easier, I think because I didn't want a bunch of crap to pack on my way home. Now for the first time I'm settled in an apartment I can afford and a city I love, which is obviously great, but it makes it easier to justify nesting and collecting, especially since I'm still saving money each month . That being said, I'm happy I've stuck to buying no new clothes or accessories so I'll celebrate that success and get ahold of myself regarding the cosmetics. I'm not looking at Etsy for awhile and doing pick-up only at Target. I already avoid Ulta both online and in-person. Those are the big 3 for me.
Empties: Face moisturizer, sandalwood rollerball fragrance, last tin of homemade lip balm, eye makeup remover, EOS lotion
Replacements: Mango butter to make more lip balm, Hempz lotion, brazil nut body butter, brazil nut body scrub
Allowed purchases: Eyeliner and mascara for emo prom, at-home hair toner, haircut, gifts for upcoming birthdays, car diffuser oil refill
Highlights: Walking in the pride parade with my gf and friends (my city does it early), emo prom, solo day at the river yesterday, friend's comedy show, 3-month "anniversary" dinner with gf
