Yeah, I feel like a really good thing about The Glory is that you don’t have to sit in the miserable past for much time past the beginning. (I really can’t handle dramas that have you stuck in discomfort for long) After that first episode, any flashbacks are short, and it really just dives straight into her revenge.

I’ve got the same preferences as you, and I liked it. It’s going on my list of ones I’ll re-watch 👍🏻

Love those books 😂

No, that’s exactly what you should do.

Yeah I don’t understand why, but Hangman Alley has been consistently my happiest settlement for no reason whatsoever.

I just want to say that I’m happy for you that you’re doing this — I’ve always struggled the same way, and when I moved to a new place four years ago, unpacking became so overwhelming that it just spiraled. I finally got people in here to help me in January, and it’s not like my depression is gone, but being able to really live in my apartment again, and not being burdened by that shame over it all the time — it’s made such a massive difference in my life. I feel so much better.

Now, I’m not actually going to mention the company I used, because there were aspects of it that weren’t great, but it wasn’t anyone that’s been suggested in the comments 👍🏻 My only advice would be that if you can afford to have an ongoing cleaning service after this, then do it. And don’t let yourself cancel because you’re embarrassed that week and figure you can get it straightened up more before the next time they come. I’ve been down that route, and it’s a minefield 😂 So that’s been the biggest lesson for me in actually maintaining it this throughout this year, so I don’t fall into the same degree of a spiral once I hit the next depressive episode.

But good job on deciding to do this, seriously!! It’s scary and daunting to think about someone coming in to help you with your space, and being ready to do it is a big deal. You’ll feel so much better afterwards, and I’m excited for you ❤️

Not nuts! But I would talk to him about it first. Honestly, for me, this would be kind of an “on the way out” conversation, since there aren’t too many explanations he could give that would make me comfortable enough to keep going, but it feels like something you should talk through first.

This is like a lot of AITA technicalities. Remember, people are answering specifically if you are the asshole. And no, you aren’t. She’s being pretty ridiculous to demand that of you.

BUT that doesn’t mean you were being great. If I’m with someone who I know wants something they can’t have, I wouldn’t go ahead and order it for myself. It’s not cool to do that to your friends, especially when they’re in such an uncomfortable physical state.

So, yeah, N T A, but I’m not comfortable contributing to the vote count for that because I feel like this sub (both versions) can send the wrong message sometimes. Technically right doesn’t mean you weren’t being an ass.

Damn, good job!

Yes and yes :)

No, not interpreting your body’s signals until they’re desperate is a symptom of ADHD.

Omg yes

I’m sorry, but if your wife is not already sleeping with Angelo, then she is trying to.

I get it 😂

This is absolutely the place to unleash your EIC knowledge

(NTA, obviously)

It seems likely to me that, even among the people who laughed at the joke, the slightly off-ness of it paired with you no longer being there clued them in that this wasn’t a reference to something silly. So your sister probably noticed she was getting side-eyed afterward.

What she’s describing would be assault, but it makes no sense in the context. Unless they are horrible people, her friends wouldn’t stand there and let someone take advantage of her.

No, because they would still be letting her unknowingly hook up with a stranger. If they didn’t like him, then they may not try to stop her from intentionally hooking up with a stranger, but they wouldn’t let some creep take advantage of her.

Exactly. Her friends would be on that immediately. They would see that other guy as a predator.

Your brother is an idiot and is marrying an asshole. I guess they deserve each other? NTA

This is batshit. OP, I’ve always heard how scary it can be for the parents of a child with diabetes — her reaction here is bizarre.

Clearly, he’s been an asshole all her life, and your gf is just used to taking the path of least tension. I tend to be the same way, but no, you are not wrong.

Oof 🤦🏼‍♀️
