Story & Reaction Compilation - The October 23rd, 2024 Session

[@randalthor741]

The issue in the first story is that the wife is effectively wanting to steal from a local small business. I would agree with Candy if this was a normal big chain movie theatre charging admission and then having massive markups on the snacks, however this is a small independent local theatre that doesn't have big markups on snack prices *and* isn't charging admission. Without those snack sales, that local business can't pay their rent, their bills, and can't pay their employees. So the problem is with the wife's lack of morals.

[@Ammdar]

Agree 100%. They got lost in his rule following "obsession" and totally lost the plot that his real concern was not fucking over a small business.

[@celinaizaguirre3326]

EXACTLY!! They completely missed the point.

[@ladygrae126]

Agreed. It’s taking from a small business.

[@clarissestreeter5778]

Came to say this. It was really frustrating me when they glossed over this important detail.

movie snacks: @Dusty, you are the AH for sneaking the snacks in the cinema that does not overcharge. If it is a big chain that charges 15 per ticket 15 per popcorn and 15 per soda i would get it but to sneak it to the place that does not do that is one way ticket for the place to shut down very soon and then you will have to sneak your snacks to the big places where you will overpay for everything. To me it is not about the feelings but about to keep the small good place in business... They bleed the money for you to keep you entertained.

Love the cake story animation!

Lol my friend's mom used to take us to the theater and brought her big purse with her. I remember once we were watching a movie and eating chicken wings. We were always respectful and kept our mess picked up and took it with us when we left. I will say I've known folks who work at theaters and honestly, the employees usually don't care what you bring in to snack on. As long as you aren't disrupting the other movie goers or making a big mess, they truly don't care.

Story 1 it was a free movie. The snacks are so expensive because they make little to nothing on the movies.

As someone who used to have a problem with alcohol, it doesnt take a lot to get me drunk now. I also used to say, "im not buzzed" but we totally are, and unfortunately, OP isn't facing the reality that he should just abstain from alcohol if he wants to stay at a party.

[@auburncazanigo9173]

Ok, the leaving parties early story. I'll preface my input with, My Grandma owned a Bar and I have personally dealt w/ addicts of many kinds. With the "sounds" of His story. She HAS talked to him about it Many times. He justifies his behavior & minimizes his addiction to under control by only "socially drinking." I could also guess, that when they first got together they would go out together and party. As they've become more serious, she's settled down into a mature role. He's upset that "she's changed". He wants to continue & can't convince her she's wrong about his behavior while out. That's why he posted to get "back up" only to be validated to not "grow up" in that sense. The exercise more control because he doesn't have that with alcohol. Possibly other things while he's out as well. A few lines of coke, other impulsive choices.... "What, we are out, having a great time! We hardly ever go out anymore, it's not hurting anything! You used to know how to have fun!" "Now you're just a party pooper!" What I'm trying to drive home here, is that I highly doubt she's not talked to him about why she's leaving early. I guarantee He hadn't "worked on his alcoholism" because he recognized it's effects.... just saying. Seen this a million times before.

Story one: Compromising would be important while the husband works though this.

[@babytooty04]

The last story was him doing his best to fight with her so that they could break up. He def has someone on the side and the MOST HILARIOUS part is that he can't vent to his friends because they all know she is the best he is EVER going to get and that he is an asshole

[@musicaficta564]

Story 2: it could also be that OP is neurodivergent in some way. I know my flavor of neurodivergent makes it very hard to be spontaneous. My brain needs time to know the plan and go over it several times for me to be comfortable. If I was in OPs shoes I would also be like, fuck no I’m not staying the night.

[@sunkissedaurora3325]

Im one to agree. I wouldn't bring my meds if I don't know to bring them and not taking them makes me moody the next day if I was OP I'd be miserable for the ride home and so my friends would be salty then too.

Imagine the relationship the PhD students gonna have when he’s finally making good money and he becomes the financial abuser of his lower status, wife

[@Lovelybug777]

13:51 I sweat a lot, and I feel smelly after the end of the day, even if I’m home all day doing nothing and didn’t even sweat much or at all I feel icky and I need a shower even if I take a morning shower, I need a shower at night before bed. I need to change my clothes change my underwear. I need to brush my teeth or even if I didn’t brush my teeth before bed I’m going to need a brush him in the morning so that means no showering or brushing the teeth.🤮 can’t do it! When we planned my bachelorette party even after clubbing all night i still took a shower brushed my teeth, changed my clothes and went to bed. I can’t so she’s nta! I would say keep a toothbrush and toothpaste on you and a change your clothes if you’re going to go out of town just in case that’s what I do if I’m going to be more than an hour away from home I have back up clothes. In hotels, have bars of soaps and washcloths and towels, but I get it I need to be in my pj and clean I just don’t understand how people can go to bed without brushing your teeth or taking a shower.🤷🏻‍♀️

[@michaelalicea2116]

Making too many assumptions in story one. Spouse feels uncomfortable following rules? Forget all that, look at circumstances. Not a movie, but free sports event. One screen theater as opposed to megaplex, which would probably charge to see event. So to make it personal. If it were a free event focused on the Chiefs, would you then call for therapy for OP? If it was. Playoff game, would you take snacks to a sports bar?
