I am over over over the use of "shaming" to describe unwanted or undesirable conflict. Slut shaming, fat shaming, etc. need to be put to bed so actual dialogue can take place.
I always knew my dad was a serial cheater & thats why my parents divorced. This past weekend while going thru old boxes at my grandmas, we found letters home from when he was in the services, before they got married. He admitting in more than one letter to making "mistakes" he called it with other women.
I wanna ask my mom why she still married him but I'm not sure how to bring it up.
ETA: They were married for 19 years & have been divorced over 30 years now (since I was 4)
DH and the kids have had colds for this past week. Well, they finally got me caught up in the sickness yesterday. I feel like hell today, but I still have a bunch of shit today. Well DH is saying how his man cold is soooo miserable that he wants to call out from work. Except, I know he has some fun "obligations" this weekend that he'll be sure to be there for. I think him calling out is such BS and I'm really annoyed. Yeah, yeah, I get the whole recuperate a bit so he can make it through the rest of what he needs to do, but I'm salty that I'm suppose to just suck it up and he gets to be a baby.

After net battling about dressing like a professional, I noticed my boss has worn jeans 3 times this week and it's not even Friday. I thought maybe that meant I can wear jeans to work. But then I realized that my work pants are mostly soft pants and more comfortable anyway. Plus how would I maintan a moral high ground in dressing like a professional arguments?

Because she loved him, because she thought he would change when he got home and was with her. It depends on your relationship with her, but I'd probably just leave it.
My mom spilled a bunch of shit to me once I was in college (my parents were married 20 years, divorced when I was 4). They separated because of cheating and alcohol. It took her that long in their relationship to get the confidence that she could make it on her own. She'd always been told that she wouldn't be able to, but she finally had enough and figured failing couldn't be worse that being treated like nothing.
I know Larry happened. Please do not try to convince me otherwise. Please don't talk to me about coffee. I don't drink it. I don't caffeine. When I state my opinion, that is me chiming in on a topic. This is not me saying you suck at life if you do or feel differently. If I want to say that, I will. If I want to speak on you, I will.

My mother married my father (twice) to "save" him. Unfortunately, you don't get to choose with whom you fall in love and sometimes you fall in love with someone who is toxic and self-destructive. My mother loved my father so much that she married him and spent her life trying to save him. I'm sorry that you found all of that out readyornot. It might be a wound that your mother doesn't wish to scratch open :/ IDK, it depends on her and on your relationship.
I wish I was cool enough to pull off the biker jacket type things I see everywhere. But, alas, I am not. I will always be a Jackie. Pass the twinsets please.
After watching the episode of Friends where they try to list all the US states in 6 minutes,DH challenged me to a little competition this week. My FFFC is I only got 35. DH got 47. In my defence, we are Canadian.
I am srsly planning on putting a coffee machine in my bedroom.
I had a few people purchase espresso machines for their bedrooms when I was working at Williams Sonoma. Of course, this was going to be an addition for their vacation home because they obviously already had one in their "regular" home.
