So when I went on a date with a guy recently, I was a little shocked when he suggested that we split the bill. I had always been taught that guys should pay for dates, and I was surprised that he was so open to splitting the bill.

It all started when I asked him out for a drink.

He agreed and we met at a local bar. We enjoyed our drinks, talked about our lives, and had a great time. Right after we finished our drinks, he suggested that we split the bill.

I was taken aback and my first thought was that he didn’t respect me. I had been taught that guys should always pay for dates.

I quickly realized is was because I told him I was a feminist. I quickly realise how much of a hypocrite I am.

After I thought about it for a few moments, I realized that there was nothing wrong with splitting the bill. We were both adults and we both had the same amount of money to spend on the date. We were both enjoying each other’s company and it seemed like the fair thing to do. We both put in the same amount of money and we both got the same amount of enjoyment from the date.

At the same time, I still believe that it is important for guys to pay for dates. It is a way of showing respect and appreciation for the other person. It is a way of showing that you value their company and that you are willing to put in some extra effort to make them feel special. I think it is important to recognize the value of a person’s time and effort, and paying for a date is one way of doing that.

At the end of the day, I think it is important to be flexible when it comes to who pays for a date. If a guy wants to pay, then that is great. If not, then splitting the bill is also an option. It should not be seen as a sign of disrespect or a lack of appreciation. It is simply a way of being fair and showing respect for each other’s financial situation.

[62F. 63M. 41M. 36F.] My husband cannot accept our children for who they are, and he wishes for me to maintain the same demeanor towards them as himself. How can I disobey him and love my children as they are?
I am highly embarrassed by my husband’s recent behavior and this brings me to be hesitant to seek advice from my friends. Unfortunately, I also know their advice will be to heed my husband’s direction without any consideration for nuance. I will try to be concise which means I will be focusing on his flaws, but he is a good man. Please be kind.

From when our children were young it has always been important to my husband’s career to have a respectable and presentable family, but this put particular pressures on the children. Our second child, our daughter, was born deaf. At the time her doctors told us it would be detrimental to her development if we learned and used sign language with her. This did not sit right with me, and I wished to get a second opinion, but my husband did not want this. He wanted our daughter to speak. She hated wearing her hearing aids and would quickly rip them from her ears, and she also hated speech therapy. Without the hearing aids she was a much happier child. However, she still was not speaking and my husband blamed me for coddling her. She underwent surgery for a cochlear implant and she can now speak and understand us, but I have always felt uneasy about her early childhood.

On the other hand, our son was an easy child. Even as a baby he wasn’t fussy much. We did not have issues with him until he was a teenager, and even then it was nothing beyond regular teenage rebellion. He began to grow into his own person and rejected the expectations his father had for him, which culminated in my husband giving him an ultimatum to choose between attending a good university or being cut off financially if he would not. He made this demand without my knowledge. As a result, our son moved out after graduation. He is now doing well for himself and owns a successful business. However, my husband is often hesitant to speak about him with others because he is uncomfortable with the idea of our son’s orientation being brought up. When we first learned, my husband suggested to me that I no longer hug our son in greeting to demonstrate our disapproval, which was advise I ignored and he did not press me on it again. Since then he has relaxed some, but our son’s partner is not allowed over to our home for family dinner.

Due to all the aforementioned issues, we have a strained relationship with both of our children. They make an appearance at family dinner and that is about as much as I see or hear from them. I am also unsure if our son will come again for a while as he and my husband had a small argument over dinner, which nearly ended with my husband saying a word he has previously only said to me. He recently experienced a moderately serious medical episode, after which he has been more verbally aggressive than previously. While he was in hospital I began to consider my life without him, and how it saddens me that I have let myself be bullied from being close with my children. I want to make changes to be more inviting, and I looked into taking a sign language class. Our daughter has married a wonderful deaf man who only signs and their young baby is also deaf. My husband asked me why I would be enrolling for a class when our daughter can understand us and translate perfectly well. He doesn’t understand even today, and told me I will be wasting my time and his money. Additionally, he has told me not to call our son as he should come to us when he wishes to apologize for his scene at dinner, but I feel it is my husband who provoked the matter.

I recently had an experience that I can only describe as a nightmare. I was sitting in an airplane seat, sandwiched between two rather large people.

I’m not talking about just a few extra pounds, I’m talking about people who were obese like farm animals.

Packed like sardines, nope should be sandwiched by pork lard

They were so large that I was literally being squashed between them. It was so uncomfortable and I felt so trapped. I couldn’t move and I was in pain for the entire flight.

I was not the only one to have experienced this. After my flight, I went to social media and saw that I was not the only one who felt this way. There were a lot of people who had similar experiences and they all expressed their frustration and anger.

Many of them said that obese people should have to pay double for their plane tickets because they are taking up the space of two people.

The other people is they sweat more and smell like vinegar.

This idea of charging obese people double for their plane tickets has been gaining traction among netizens. Many people argued that it would be a fair and just solution to the problem of people being squashed between two obese people. They argued that since the obese person is taking up the space of two people, it is only fair that they pay double for the ticket.

On the other hand, many people argued against this idea. They argued that it was unfair to charge obese people double for their tickets and that it would be discriminatory. They argued that it was not the person’s fault that they were obese and that it was wrong to punish them for it.

I understand both arguments and I can see why people feel so strongly about this issue. However, I think that it would be fair to charge obese people double for their tickets. It is their life choice.

At the same time instead of charging obese people double for their tickets, I think the airline should find a way to make the seating more comfortable for everyone. They could invest in wider seats for the planes or create a separate section for obese people who need extra room. This would allow everyone to have a comfortable and safe flight without having to worry about being squeezed between two obese people.

At the end of the day, it is up to the airline to decide how to handle this issue. But I think it is important to remember that obese people should not be punished for their size. They should be treated with respect and given the same rights and privileges as everyone else.

So while I understand why some people think that obese people should have to pay double for their tickets, I think it would be unfair to do so. Instead, the airline should focus on creating a comfortable experience for everyone by investing in wider seats or creating a separate section for obese people who need extra room.

best friend’s new boyfriend touched me. Bestfriend is taking his side.

I remember the moment like it was yesterday.  I never wanted to tell anyone that I was molested. The shame and guilt that I felt were overwhelming

Rich people usually dress normally and poor people dress rich to look richer than they are.

I’m sure that I’m not then only one who thinks this way that people who aren’t that rich will try to dress rich to give others a rich first impression.

The wealthy man who wears a simple polo shirt and khakis and the poor man who wears designer clothes and flashy jewelry.

I’ve had the privilege of being in the presence of wealthy people. Their style of dress is usually very simple.

They’re usually wearing something practical and comfortable, nothing too flashy or expensive. It’s almost like they don’t need to prove their wealth to anyone.

On the other hand, I’ve also seen poor people trying to dress up to look richer than they are.

They’re wearing designer clothes that they can’t afford and wearing more jewelry than they need and it’s almost like they’re trying to prove something to the world.

I think there are a few reasons why this happens.

Firstly, I think it’s a way for people to feel better about themselves. By dressing in expensive clothes and jewelry, they can feel like they’re worth something and that they fit in with the wealthy.

Secondly, I think it’s a way for people to hide their financial status. By dressing up, they can create the illusion that they’re wealthier than they actually are.

They can pretend to be something they’re not and no one will know the difference.

Lastly, I think it’s a way for people to aspire to something higher. It’s a way for them to see what it would be like to be wealthy and to dream about it.

It’s almost like they’re dressing the part and hoping that one day they can truly become wealthy.

It shows how our perception of wealth and status can be so different.

People can still want to feel like they’re worth something even if they don’t have much money.

No matter why people do it, it’s still something that’s fascinating to observe.

That rich people usually dress normally, while poor people dress up to look rich.
