I’m generally not on board with naming children after other people to honour them (great way to set terrible expectations for the kid) or carry a legacy (that’s what surnames are for) or for tradition (traditions should never be carried on purely for their own sake). Nine generations of pressure though, that’s a whole new level of scummy!
100% wife can wear what she wants. I am not interested in showing my anus to my work friends nor seeing theirs and I think it’s weird that wife feels differently about that apparently.
she won’t stop with the insecure and controlling bs that she’s accusing me of.
Doubt OOP has acknowledged that wife is correct about this could go a long way. It is absolutely insecurity and control, but some amount of that is fine in a relationship if you’re on the same page.
3 years old, suspended OOP account, doubt we’ll learn how it turns out 😭
In case you’re in this situation in future, you can use section breaks before and after the page and give the middle section a different header/footer. It’s still not great because you can’t (to my knowledge) tie the section before to the section after so now you have to change both the first and third sections any time you want to adjust the main header/footer.
On top of that, the issue is that she can’t drive to work: if the US had halfway decent public transport she’d be able to keep the job and insurance
I don’t have thumbnails set on my phone so I only ever saw the full image. That said, I looked at it without my glasses with my arm outstretched and I’m going to guess they saw either buttcrack or titcleft
Even given that it is decorative, it doesn’t look like it would be good at chopping things. Cool though
Mercury would typically be measured in mm in metric and my brain just fully glossed over the inches part
This would have been just the first influence of the uncle, I’m glad girl got out relatively early. Ex’s dad hit the nail on the head, you take people as they are. If ex wants a woman who wears a headscarf, he should find one who already does that instead of expecting the white blonde Christians of the world to hop on board
Fucking GROSS dude. Kind of glossed over in the story but he rubbed his penis all over a picture of a child I guess? I would have some choice names to call him far more serious than Banana Nose
Seriously “your dad is a victim too” and “your dad deserved to hear how badly he fucked up” are not mutually exclusive ideas. OOP can feel more than one emotion towards their dad. Comments were wrong on this one
When did they add Frostmourne to the game? Need that mog ASAP
I know it’s not the point of the story but what are you doing just leaving 2.7k out in the public areas of your apartment?? Absolutely have a bit of cash around for emergencies, but not that much, spread it out a bit, and keep it mostly in your own room!
I tried, but there was this knot in my stomach the entire time I tried to pick a place to start. And maybe this is me being cruel, not giving her the benefit of the doubt, but it just didn’t feel right. She hadn’t come and said, “I was shocked because I realized how little I know about this time in your life. Would you be open to talking about it now?” Instead it felt like, “tell me what you saw in him so I can attempt to rationalize your orientation.” I told her I needed some time, so she went to stay elsewhere for the weekend.
The follow up comments later put me a bit more on OOP’s side but I dunno man, this is your fiancée, maybe extend a little generosity? It does speak to his other point about missing trust, security or love. If he’s not willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, the relationship seems doomed anyway.
Venue seems irrelevant here, she was trying to use it as a scapegoat I guess
How exactly was Sarah supposed to move on when he never changed his mind on her not being his real daughter? As he’s not her real father, he shouldn’t expect to walk her down the aisle either. Hopefully he’s out of their lives now anyway
I get wanting your kids to have bond with adults as aunts and uncles, but it’s only part of the picture. Don’t you want them to bond with cousins? Don’t you want to be an aunt to their kids too? Weird situation. I wonder if there is a plan for guardianship if they pass out if they’ve chosen godparents. Perhaps this is also an interview process
Yes I did mix up the order of the words cause of poor sleep. Thanks for correcting
My favourite language joke:
What’s the difference between a cat and a comma?
One’s got claws at the end of its paws, the other’s a pause at the end of a clause

Shadows of Doubt
An alternate universe corpo city filled with generated crimes to solve. You get a case board, scan for fingerprints/footprints, talk to witnesses, look up sales records, check out cctv cameras among loads of other stuff. All of it is happening live in the city - everyone has schedules, an apartment, a workplace, an inventory, an email account, a blood type, a shoe size… - so that murder/kidnapping/robbery literally happened in the game while you were crawling through vents looking for an envelope with sensitive documents that someone asked you to steal. Just yesterday I got to a crime scene super quickly and caught a murderer leaving the scene of the crime with the murder weapon on their person. There are deus ex style body augmentations too.
One of my favourite cases was a woman who got murdered. I had the husband pegged for it but couldn’t pin it on him. His fingerprints were all over the place and he was on the cctv but they lived together so that wasn’t really evidence. The case went cold. A couple of days later the HUSBAND is murdered and I’m stumped. Just go looking for anything related to the guy and hope I stumble across something useful by accident. So eventually I break into the husband’s boss’ apartment and find a bouquet of flowers with a note for the boss from the husband. It turns out the husband is having a secret gay affair with his boss. The boss kills the wife so he can be with the husband. Husband doesn’t want to be with a murderer I guess so the boss kills him too!
It’s occasionally a little buggy still. I was supposed to follow someone, take a photo of a briefcase handoff, follow the recipient and get the briefcase back and have done this type of case before. Yesterday though the handoff never happened and I waited with the original owner for a few in game hours. My guess is the recipient is dead or was someone I knocked out earlier while I was solving another case and I messed up their schedule.
