S/O - Real Flammable Confession

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: S/O - Real Flammable Confession : I am well aware. This lady abused her children (not an exaggeration) and takes advantage of them to this day. FI is the only one who manages to stand up to her. She also told me that it's my responsibility to quit my job to take care of her in her old age. She actively tries to steal people's credit cards and orders stuff to be billed to my FI. It keeps showing up on his credit report, no matter how many times he disputes it. She stole an elderly man's credit card and went on a shopping spree. I found her rummaging through our desk when she was over for Christmas last year. I kicked her out of our office, and she knocked a hole in the wall. This year, we're still hosting (a whole different story), but the doors to all the rooms except the dining room, living room and bathroom will be locked. I do not want this lady in my house. I don't sit around actively wishing for her to die, but I can't deny that my life (and Fi's life, and his siblings' lives) will be easier.

This makes more sense to me now. I was wondering what your definition of "getting on my nerves" was. I was picturing more of a "Oh you should cook the ham this way" - that's way worse.

So this is the flame-immune flammable confessions thread?

Either way, I confess that I have been BSC for the last couple of weeks. I feel sorry for my FI.

[Deleted User] · December 2010

I just asked H if he would ever let me pee in his hands. He said, "Um...only if it was an emergency." WTF kind of an emergency requires peeing in your husband's hands?

My confession: I'm about 90% sure my new (ish) BC is to blame for my depression and exhaustion. But I don't care enough to do anything about it. I don't have a doc up here, and it's a PITA to get in touch with my actual doc (via phone since she's about 1.5 hours away), have them call the pharmacy, call again when they inevitably mess up, etc. it's just not worth the hassle that it always is every single time.

Flammable confession threads are supposed to be flame free (otherwise why would anyone confess to anything juicy?), but clearly this one is not working out that way.

specialk - schnikies about your mom.

I mentioned my crap friend yesterday and how I don't want to go out for her birthday tomorrow. I confess that I'm really excited we're supposed to get some gnarly weather, because I know she's going to totally let it ruin her entire birthday tomorrow. It makes me warm inside.

I seriously laughed out loud at this. I'm picturing you guys stranded somewhere in your car where your bladder was about to burst and there were no containers to be found and your doors won't open. So your H comes to the rescue and cups his hands for you. What a guy.

He gets stung by a jellyfish? ETA: Jinx, Any.

I confess that I'm glad my friend's BF broke up with her. He was never good enough for her is not a good person. I'm sad because she's going through a rough time, but I'm glad they're not getting married. I was so afraid they'd get engaged next year. I just wish she'd been brave enough to drop his azz first.

Ah, I didn't think of a jellyfish. And I should have, we're by the beach.

Pixie, if that were the case I'd just pee on the ground. It's not like hands will contain much, you might as well just cop a squat and go, you know?

The only way to get it off the credit report, from what I understand, is to press charges. If you don't, they take it as you allowed her to use it and just don't want to pay for it. If it's legit don't give up. But I might be wrong and every state/credit company is different

How is she not in trouble for stealing that poor mans card. Did she not get caught, or did he not press charges, or did she get in trouble and is on probation or something.

And I though it was a confession you felt like you should be flamed for, that's what mine was.

mattsdorothy · December 2010

I purchased and sent out STDs JUST to spite my FMIL. Because when I showed her the guest list, she pointed at least a dozen names (out of 75) and said "They probably won't come.", "Neither will they." I felt like my union with her son was really loved and supported at that moment...
It'll be worth the $100 bucks worth of magnets and $30 in postage when those people RSVP yes.

Have you heard of those "say it with baby animals" books? Like there will be a really adorable photo of a baby duckling or something and the caption below says "Grandma's Dead" or "Recycling Won't Help." Maybe they have one that says "I just don't motherfucking like you, d-bag" for one of your ILs.

<div>By the time he finally got up the nerve to press charges, the security tapes weren't around anymore. She knows this man, so she's been keeping us updated on the details, except for his name.

I confess that when MIL and I went to draw names for Christmas gifts (a tradition in her family), we "accidentally" left out BIL's POS twofaced biitch of a girlfriend. Whoops.

NuggetBrain · December 2010

I've been really bitchy and kind of mean to Noodle lately, and I think I hurt his feelings last night. And I feel really bad about it, but the holidays always bring out the worst in me so I know it's only going to be worse before it gets better.

J&K10910 · December 2010

This is really stupid, and flammable mostly because it's really stupid...

I was super mad and upset and angry that the weather was going to keep us from going through with our anniversary plans. I got all worked up, then I stuck dinner in the crock pot. FI calls and we discuss getting a room for tonight too and just driving up tonight. So, that's what we're doing. Now I'm upset because we're not going to get to eat my dinner

I think I'm PMSing.

Anysunrise · December 2010

I flipped on FI when I lost my bank card and he was all "Check your balance". Cause I don't know how it works in the states, but here you need a PIN to pay by debit, so it just seemed so stupid and I may have told him that being able to use a bank card was "the most stupid fvcking thing I've ever heard."

I felt really bad afterwards.

^^This.

H is out of work right now, and buying each other presents is not a good financial choice right now. (Any extra $$ went to presents for parents and siblings, etc.) Its our first Christmas together ever (others were spent apart with our respective families), and I really just want to open a present from him on Christmas morning, but we pinky-swore not to.

Don't feel bad. I'm a huge asshole. H and I had planned to take a weekend trip for our anniversary and go to MI and the wineries/wine trail and do fun stuff. I even booked the nicest room at this B&B. The weekend before we were supposed to go, H's grandma died and we had to go to NY the weekend of our trip. So we had to cancel our anniversary trip... and I was slightly resentful at the time. Now I feel like a jerk for even feeling that way because H's grandma was a nice lady.

mkrupar · December 2010

My confession: (Along the same lines of you all with Christmas presents) I wish we didn't buy our families presents so we could actually buy each other presents. This will be the second year in a row that we won't be getting each other something. Makes me super sad. But then I feel guilty because I think of our neices and nephews and feel like we have to get them something.
