[UPDATE, Happy Ending] Original post here: [[LINK](https://www.reddit.com/r/Advice/comments/l2ctmn/what_the_fuck_do_i_do_with_this_cat/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)]\n\nLong fucking story short, Satan found a good home! Here he is: [PIC](https://imgur.com/a/SvdcVeX)\n\nSo here’s what happened:\n\nAfter three days of keeping Satan in the crate, I realized two things.\n\n1) That if I was kidnapped by a random guy coming into my house and brought to a new place, then kept in a cage 24/7, I wouldn’t be too friendly either. And 2) that I can’t keep a cat in a cage indefinitely and just hope the situation magically improves somehow. Besides, I’m kind of tired of getting my hands fucked with every time I try to feed him.\n\nSo my wife (the fucking trooper, she) and I decided to make a big compromise and started sleeping in the living room, leaving the cat to be out of the cage completely in my room.\n\nThe first three days, he would either run under my bed or into my closet and stare at me with wide eyes while making low guttural noises.\n\nOn the fourth day, I decided I would start to talk to it (mainly out of frustration) and start explaining to Satan that although I get it, he needs to chill the fuck out. He seems incredibly confused by this.\n\nEventually this seemed to work, and despite still not wanting to be touched, he stopped growling at me and signaling an imminent attack. That day I learned that cats understand tone like dogs.\n\nThis talking to him continued throughout the week and drove Satan to come out of the closet or under the bed while I was in the room, but if I moved at all he’d hiss and dart back to cover.\n\nEventually something changed at the start of the second week and Satan started to get on the bed while I was in the room, which lead into him getting on top of furniture while I was in the room.\n\nAll throughout the ordeal I’m looking at cat body language videos to try and understand the animal. Also, I’m the only one feeding him and trying to get him to be okay with me being around while he eats.\n\nSomehow, one day I go into the room and, seeing him on the bed, I decide to plop down next to him to see if he’ll attack me. He mrrreeeeewwws lowly, but doesn’t attack, I look away from him, lean back and stay there for a while, pretending like this is not a terrible inconvenience for either of us. Satan obliged me and played along.\n\nMoving into the third week, I can sit in the bed and lay next to Satan and he shows no signs of aggression, so I try my next move: Putting one of my extremities RIGHT NEXT to him.\n\nI do this many times a day, acting like it’s not a big deal, and eventually while laying next to him, I touch him with my knee (I figured if he goes into attack mode, I’d rather have the sweet protection of thick denim).\n\nSatan immediately protests but doesn’t move away, so mid week I try to touch him with my arm and to my surprise he’s okay with that too.\n\nBy this point I’ve also made a habit of cleaning his box and opening the blinds for him in the morning so he’ll be able to look out the window. I slow blink before leaving to work and he slow blinks back.\n\nBefore I knew it, it was the fourth week and Satan’s letting me pet him for short periods of time and only certain parts of his back, before hissing or lightly swatting (as opposed to the vicious war crimes he was trying to pull off initially).\n\nIt’s the middle of the fourth week and at this point, we’ve built enough of a tacit communication that I feel comfortable fully petting him, talking to him, and letting him walk around the house while my dog’s out on a walk.\n\nAt this point, I come in the room every day in the morning to change and talk to Satan, and he talks back and DEMANDS to be petted by me. On my off days, I go in the room and he’ll follow me around.\n\nBy the end of the fourth week, I play with Satan and he lets me pick him up. I finally realize he was actually a very sweet, super scared kitty that needed to feel safe and be given space, and furthermore everything negative that happened was my fault for not understanding him and pressuring him.\n\nBy then, I already feel he’s social enough that I can offer him around, but just for good measure I keep him for one more (fifth) week (which was enough for me to bond with him and feel bad about giving him away).\n\nMy wife and I discuss whether or not to keep him, but my dog (who’s named after a Mexican narco, but that’s a different story) ends up going after a cat when we’re walking him (it was dark) and getting hurt, which ends that line of thinking.\n\nThe week went by smoothly, and I manage to get his medical records from my friend’s family and the hospital Satan was taken to.\n\nSixth week, I take to Facebook and, with due disclaimers, I offer him around:\n\n>Satan, older cat, needs a new home\n\n>Former cat of a loner\n\n>Affectionate but needs house without children or other pets\n\n>Is curious and playful once it gets comfortable\n\nA lot of people offer to take Satan into their homes, and a lot of people don’t meet the requirements I outlined.\n\nEventually someone reaches out to me and not only are they a perfect fit for him, they understand all the constraints that go into adapting an older cat into a new home. They came yesterday and I didn’t even struggle to get him into the carrier they brought.\n\nI went into their home today to take some of Satan’s playthings as well as some food I had left over, and although he was hiding under the bed and mrrrewing, he peeked out on the halfway while my wife and I talked to his new owners.\n\nI stressed to these people that if they have any big issues with him he’s 100% returnable, but (unlike me) this isn’t their first adopted cat. We promised to keep in touch, and I came back and cleaned up my room to sleep in it.\n\nOne of my knuckles is fucked forever, and I will absolutely never have a cat ever again, but it was a great experience nonetheless.\n\nThe fucking end (I hope)." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Kudos Satan whisperer." } ]

I'm 28 now and she just turned 70 on the 12th. \n\nMy aunt's work facility was infected with covid-19. It was in another building so she was very lax about everything. She lives in a duplex with my Gramma with my Gramma living above her. She didn't use any precautions. She went to the store often, she would go up and visit my grandma even though my Gramma begged her to stay downstairs until the pandemic was over.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "I went from shopping for engagement rings to breaking up with her. What do I do? \nI (24M) recently broke up with my girlfriend (26F) and I’m devastated. I, and my family, wholeheartedly thought that I would marry her. We were excited to talk about our timeline for getting engaged, and even got her ring sized. Now we’ve separated. \n\nOur breakup wasn’t messy at all, we cried together, we both wished it was different and admitted we still loved each other. Neither of us wanted this. We had a very strong relationship and I was extremely proud of the way we treated each other and communicated. We really practiced what we preached. We had normal bumps but nothing major and started to have serious conversations about what we wanted for ourselves in the future. As cliche as it sounds I was the happiest I’ve ever been when I was with her. My friends took notice of that and they all had such great feedback about her. I’ve never been able to be me around another person like I could with her. I took the “marry your best friend” advice so seriously and because of that I miss her deeper than a sexual standpoint or anything else. I miss my best friend and the best companion I’ve ever had. \n\nUnfortunately, she has an unhealthy relationship with her parents, although she can’t see it, and they are the reason we broke up. They control her through financial incentives despite her having an amazing career and not needing them. Often times I don’t think they took what she wanted into account enough and they made decisions based on what they wanted for her. Why she lets this go on is beyond me because otherwise she’s extremely independent. \n\nI hate this but I’ve suspected that they have a lot of jealousy towards my family over money. I think they look down on me because I didn’t want to take over my dads business even though this was a non issue to my family. My parents retired in their late 40s while her parents are ~20 years older and are still working and they’ve made weird comments about it. This was no issue to my girlfriend either but again her parents were the problem. Although I also have a great career it’s not enough for them. They’ve made every excuse as to why I’m not good enough for their daughter. She’s told them she disagrees and their assumptions are false. She claims to have put her foot down and done all that she can but they refused to want to change. For awhile they pretended like I didn’t exist. Then they uninvited me from family dinners when they were in town until they finally UNinvited me from a vacation with them. Clearly I am unwelcome in their company. \n\nThis chipped away at our happiness for the last few months. We both knew this. We agreed that we didn’t have problems between us but this situation was the cause of our arguments. She apologized to me and agreed I don’t deserve this so I ended up breaking up with her because of her parents comments. I had to take a stand for myself but I’m frustrated because I felt like she could have done more. \n\nNonetheless, we still text here and there after work but of course there is separation now. We caught up once for pizza and wine one night too. There’s been no break up sex nor will there be. We agreed there needs to be boundaries. We still want to fulfill some of our plans we had coming up together too. My problem is that I want nothing more than to spend time with her but when I look at her I only see the woman I love, the person who wanted to be wife, and my best friend. I can’t just erase all of my feelings. \n\nDo I go no contact to protect myself? Should I completely end things and start to try and get over her or enjoy what time we could still spend together? I don’t know if her parents would ever change and she just gives me the “if it’s meant to be we’ll get back together” line.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "I (22/M) was forced to have “the talk” with my sister (8) and witnessed firsthand the dangers of unrestricted Internet. 8-year-old sister had asked me whether she was born was because of sex. I honestly answered “yes” because I knew she would find out sooner or later. Also, I don’t have the heart to lie to her. Although I did not delve into the lovemaking details usually reserved for Sex Ed (penis goes into vagina, sperm fertilizes egg, etc), the way she phrased her question was one where you cannot fool her into thinking she was transported by UPS storks.\n\nI was slightly relieved she didn’t press on for what I was taught in Sex Ed, but she has absorbed how pregnancy works, one by a tell-tale sign of missing a period (which she has not completely learned yet). She had gained this knowledge by subscribing to a YouTuber who talked about her pregnancy experience (I’m guessing in vlogs and AMA form).\n\nHaving her own phone, she started to do something I only remembered doing first at 15 on my desktop: googling XXX on purpose. I thought she would be searching for the movie XXX: Xander Cage or the late rapper XXXTentacion (autofill gives his profile), she actually typed in XXX as in intent to enter a pornsite. She had clicked on images and had screenfuls of naked sex, with cum dripping out in some, faces of orgasm and pain in others and period sex in one image. Her curiosity ended up in me explaining to her that the cum is “discharge” (which she didn’t probe further into) and that sex is painful, comparing it to the most painful vaccination she remembered. She listened in awe, and I was asked if I had done it before with my SO. No, sis. (context: SO didn’t consent, wanted to keep the V-card until marriage. But watched porn regularly and had friends who slept around)\n\nSince I had gone this far down the rabbit hole, I warned her that sex is by mutual consent ONLY, and she cannot do it until she is grown up (I regret not telling her both partners must be 18), and she must refuse any sexual encounters or I will personally hunt the predator down. I repeatedly emphasized that underage and/or non-consensual sex will get her and/or her partner thrown in jail.\n\nThe previous paragraph, yes, were big words for an 8-year-old, so I analogized it to a game of NERF (since she is a NERF enthusiast, and I have a NERF gun at home) - “you must get your friend’s permission, and both you and them must be OK with playing NERF together. If your friend says no, and you shoot them anyway, you’re a bully and will get into trouble. Because your friend already said no.”\n\nNow, she remembers having the talk as the \"NERF talk\". I’m quite shaken by this. I never had “the talk” at home growing up, and I only had Sex Ed, biology, porn, and my friends’ sexual experiences to formulate this. I am concerned with how much exposure she has when she is not with me or my folks. Should I let my dad know about the talk? Is it rude for me to tap her phone (personal property) and tighten Internet control? How do I approach this? Any advice is appreciated.\n\nAlso, if this is more appropriate for an asking parent forum do let me know. Thank you.\n\n**EDIT 1:** I have truly messed up by saying that sex is painful. Thank you for pointing it out. I was speaking about it from second hand accounts from my friends, who concur about the painful part. The orgasm/moaning faces that my sister saw appeared to be a look of pain to her (like a ear pull) so I had wrongly concluded. If she brings it up again I will correct myself.\n\n**EDIT 2:** To those who are @-ing me for giving her wrong info - I get it. I'm living in a household where \"the talk\" is straight up taboo. We all waited until middle school to have it, and it was conducted by our school. I have no choice but to step up.\n\n**EDIT 3:** Age of consent where I live is 16.

If the offender was exploitative (i.e. a person of authority such as a teacher, coach, doctor) they will be charged." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hey, So I get you we’re trying to be helpful and open with her, you are very worried about her.

She had clicked on images and had screenfuls of naked sex, with cum dripping out in some, faces of orgasm and pain in others and period sex in one image. 1. You need to speak to her parents about restricting her internet access and content ASAP. I don’t know why this hasn’t been done already. There are loadsa apps to control this and keep her safe. > Her curiosity ended up in me explaining to her that the cum is “discharge” (which she didn’t probe further into) and that sex is painful, comparing it to the most painful vaccination she remembered. 2. Why did you tell her sex was painful??? This is not true most of the time. I’m sure this could be a very frightening traumatic thing for her to believe in her life. Especially as she moves into her sexuality in her teenage years and becomes a sexual individual with a hopefully healthy and shame-free view of sexuality. I think it would be helpful for her to speak to someone who can give her the facts in an age appropriate way > and she must refuse any sexual encounters or I will personally hunt the predator down. I repeatedly emphasized that underage and/or non-consensual sex will get her and/or her partner thrown in jail. 3. Again, I think this could be a very scary thing for an 8 year old to hear. And could really mess with her sexual development If not given the facts in an age-appropriate, body positive and healthy way. Eg. What counts as a sexual encounter? Is Kissing when your 16? How does she know what a “sexual predator” is? How does she know how to “refuse” this? There are lots and lots of evidenced based sex and relationship education programmes available, with the aims of keeping kids safe but not freaking them out or shaming them. This information has to be tailored to developmental age, and wishes of parents. > I am concerned with how much exposure she has when she is not with me or my folks. Should I let my dad know about the talk? Is it rude for me to tap her phone (personal property) and tighten Internet control? How do I approach this? Any advice is appreciated. Yes - you are right to be concerned. Yes - you need to talk to her parents about her phone usage and if they’re ok with you talking to her about this stuff. Yes - it is rude to tap her phone. Do not do this. Tell her parents and get them to monitor phone use. Advice - she already has this sex information, from you and the net. Some of it inaccurate. With her parents consent, It would be really helpful for her to access some developmental appropriate relationship and sex education material. Maybe ask her school. They usually have programmes.

My partner, 29M, and I are very excited, as this is our first baby and we have been trying for a few months.\n\nWe announced the pregnancy a month ago at a dinner party we hosted, and everyone seemed surprised and overjoyed. My sister, 35f, who I will call K, immediately burst into tears and asked me how I could do this to her. I stared at her, and asked “What?” She started ranting, saying that I always got everything I wanted (which is not true, I worked hard for all that I have) and that she knew I got pregnant just so I could rub her infertility in her face.\n\nShe screamed at me for 5 minutes about how I didn’t deserve to be a mother and she should be the one pregnant right now. My parents left with her soon after, and the party was basically over. I was really disturbed by my sister's reaction, because we had been pretty close before, and she had never done anything like this.\n\nK called me the next day, apologizing for how she acted at my announcement and asked if we could meet up for coffee. I accepted. We met up and she pretended as nothing had happened. Then she started a big speech about her infertility, how heartbreaking it is to be growing life inside of her, just to lose it, and how she had always wanted children of her own. She then proceeded to ask me if I could consider getting an abortion, to make things “fair”, or letting her adopt my baby. I stared at her and asked if she was serious. K said she was. I just dropped my part of the bill on the table and left.\n\nL texted me a rant that night about how I’d made K cry, and how all they wanted was to be parents, and that this meant so much to them, and I “owed” them for being more successful than them. I and my partner invested many years into our jobs, and we have worked very hard to earn what we earn now. I told them that my partner and I had been hoping for kids too and that I was not giving up my baby. He hung up.\n\nShe later sent me a long letter (4 pages) about how she had always wanted to be a mother, and could I consider either abortion or letting her adopt my baby, how I should care about my older sister's happiness, how she would make a better mum, how the oldest kid should have the first grandchild, and how I could always just have another baby since it was \"so easy for me to conceive\".\n\nAfter that, she quieted down some, and I thought we were done with this. Except... it wasn't. She had posted MY SONOGRAM on her FB, and captioned it “L and I are expecting! We can’t wait to meet our little princess!”\n\nI was seeing red. I texted her and demanded she takes the post down. No reply.\\`\\` I texted L. No reply. So I called my mother and told her what happened. She was able to make K take the post down, luckily enough. K has called me petty for calling my mum and has continued to demand I give up my baby. I sent her a letter explaining that I had had enough of her nonsense, I AM keeping my baby, and that I recommend she get some help. I added that if she continues, I will not hesitate to call 999.\n\nThis weekend, however, was the absolute last straw. My mum and dad have the spare key to my house, and while she was over at their house for brunch, she took the key. While my partner and I were at work, she broke into our house and stole all the clothing, blankets, nappies, bottles, and pretty much any other item we had bought for the baby, except furniture. It was later returned after my mum found it in her car. I called 999, but they told me I couldn't do anything because I had no proof and because it was all returned.\n\nMy partner and I are moving in April, but I'm still scared my sister will find out where we live and take my child. I get that she's upset and jealous, due to her infertility, but that shouldn't mean I have to give up my baby. My parents know about this, and they have been doing their best to get her some help. She doesn't want to adopt, because she wants a child that's her own flesh and blood. I'm due in August, and the stress she's causing cannot and will not be good for me or the baby. My partner is looking into a cease-and-desist letter. Is there anything else I should do or say? I'm scared for my baby.\n\n**UPDATE 28-3-22**\n\nThe support I've received from this website is overwhelming! Thank you all for your comments, although I couldn't reply to all of them, they are appreciated! We have had the locks changed, cameras installed, and a Ring doorbell. I've started saving every letter and screenshotting every message my sister has sent and plan to take them to court for a restraining order very soon. We have also been seriously documenting everything.\n\nMy husband and I are planning a trip to Ireland for our anniversary next week, and it's going to be good to clear our heads from my sister. I've called 999 to report her for harassment, and they gave her a warning. She's contacted me saying that if I won't give her my child, I can at least pay for multiple rounds of IVF, which I have not replied to other than refusing. She's been begging my parents to convince me to give up my baby, which they refuse to do. They have also been given a statement that basically says that if they give her my contact information, they will not see my baby, to which they have agreed.\n\nI've since changed my phone number, and we are moving very soon. My sister does not know our new address. She actually stood on our stoop for 20 minutes a few days ago, banging on our door, and yelling. My husband opened a window and told her that if she didn't leave, he would let the dog out, and threatened to call the police. We have a rather small, but hyper puppy who jumps on everyone and barks a lot, and she is quite scared of dogs, actually, so this made her leave. I started working from home last week, as did my husband, and we've followed the advice of one of the comments, washed all of the baby stuff, as well as made sure none of the food in our kitchen was messed with (none was, luckily).\n\nWe're planning on getting a restraining order as soon as possible, and are looking forward to our trip!

How you holding up?\" He sighed heavily and said \"I am getting through it because I must get through it.\" I asked, \"Have you come to a solution for your car problem?\" And he sighed again and said, \"Yes, the solution is that I must have one and can't afford another.\" We were about 20 yards away from employee parking and could see both my cars so I said, \"Well, this weekend I bought that car (point at new car) and so now I would like you to have that one (point at old car).\" \n\nHe was absolutely speechless, so I kinda started talking fast and was like \"I couldn't find the title--it's in my closet somewhere--but I have all the necessary paperwork you need to bring to the Iowa DOT to transfer it into your name. I'll pay for a replacement title if I can't find it, and it's overdue for an oil change so I'll get that done this week while you're out too. I'll leave the keys on my desk so you have them if you get back after I leave on Friday.\"\n\nI attempt to look in his eyes but his mask has fogged his glasses. I continue.\n\n\"Yeah, they only offered me 98 dollars for the car and I didn't think it was worth it and I didn't really want to hassle with selling it online. Also I don't have space at home to keep it, so I thought to myself, *why not let [coworker] have it?* So here we are.\"\n\nHe has begun shaking. It's 15 degrees so I am getting pretty cold at this point and I start hopping a little.\n\n\"So...would you take my car please?\" I ask, by way of concluding the offer and requesting some kind of feedback. \n\nImmediately, he grabbed me around the shoulders and pulled me in for a long, strong hug. He is openly weeping into my hair now. He is saying something but my scarf is muffling his words, but I let him hang on until he decides to pull back. Finally he removed his glasses, and he looked me in the eyes and said, \"You have changed my life with this gift. I cannot describe what you have given me.\" So of course I started crying and we hugged again. Then, he said I must be freezing and I am to go into the office immediately, so I did. He sat out in his truck for a while before finally leaving for the week, and I feel content that he did not insist on haggling over money. Perhaps if he decides later to bring it up, I will entertain what he has to say, but for now I am well satisfied with how this turned out. Now I just have to find that damn title 😵\n\nI want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of you who read this and took the time to reply.\n\nAs it turns out, I was totally overthinking how this was going to go!" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Just be up front and honest.

How do I set up a new life in a different state and start over? It happened two months ago, and I'm finally speaking about it. Usually, I'd be too shy to write Reddit posts because I was highly doubtful that I would get any support, let alone sympathy. I accept that I need help and I'm not okay, and it's okay not to be okay. I'm hurting. I'm hurting and alone and scared. I couldn't focus in school, knowing I was the only one left alone now. I only had my mother and my older brother. My dad left us when I was born. This affected me, but I grew up strong with dreams of a better life, which kept me going.\n\n My situation growing up was inevitable, but my future was my decision. My family kept me going through it all. I lived in Southern California and attended school not far from my family. However, two months ago. There was a horrible break-in while I was away (Police said). I assume because my family was home.. they thought the best way to get rid of evidence was to set my house ablaze. I'm true. I'm truly devastated.\n\n\n They didn't live in the best area since we all grew up poor, and I can't help but feel guilty that I wasn't there to save them. They patiently waited for me to succeed so that when I started my career, I could take them away from the hell we lived in. Eventually, I stopped going to school and would have panic attacks at my part-time job. I was in a month-to-month where I was staying while I went to Uni, but since I was already living basically on the financial edge (I didn't take any loans out for school), I ended up relinquishing my spot there as well.\n\n I'm staying with my cousin, but the living conditions are horrible. He's the messiest, sleaziest person I have ever met, but it's my only shelter. I only have one uncle and aunt, but they didn't like my mom, so they resent me regardless of the situation. There are roaches and ants.. mold on the wall, and I don't feel safe as a woman in this neighborhood, let alone at home. Well. Place. I don't have a home anymore.\n\n\n I need advice on starting over in another state away from this hell. It's hard for me to go outside after the trauma. I don't sleep, and I wake up screaming when I do. I panic when I hear leaves go by outside the apartment, and I'm losing it. Too many memories here. I plan to continue my educational endeavors and work to get a room somewhere; I'm just unsure how to start.\n\nI don't know where to look. I don't know who to trust or who to talk to.

I asked this on another subreddit, but apparently it was against the rules.\n\nA couple of nights ago I was awoken around 5:30am to my bedroom door being opened. I immediately sat up in bed and had my eyes on the door. I watched it open about 12 inches, not quickly, but not slowly. I became terrified because my door was locked. (It can be opened with a toothpick or something similar, but the lock stays locked) I watched the door slowly shut, it shut slower than it opened, and I just sat silently in my bed for a few minutes. My grandma lives with me, and is nearly across the hall, so after a few minutes I went into her bedroom and woke her up. I asked her if she’d been awake and opened my door, but she said no, and she was very asleep, so I believed her. She got out of bed and we checked all of the rooms with the lights on in case of an intruder. No signs, thought it may be paranormal, went back to sleep.\n\nTonight, 10:15ish I walk into my bathroom and there is literal shit on my toilet seat, not a skid mark but actual shit, and also shit in the toilet. I haven’t used my bathroom in hours, and I have a bidet, so I knew it was not me. I asked my grandmother if she’d used it, she said no, I kept trying to ask because it could have been embarrassing, but her en-suite is just a few feet away and it wouldn’t make sense anyway.\n\nI am now quite terrified. On the other subreddit people suggested that there is a person intruding, to get cameras, and lock all things (all things are locked - to my knowledge). My worst fear is having a camera inside of my home and seeing a person on it, whether I am home or not. Nothing of high value is missing from my bedroom.

In both instances we have checked them and they are still locked. \n\nThe attic opening is in the back of our hallway ceiling, and would leave dust as well as much noise, do not believe there is any access or activity from the attic. \n\nI am very touched and thankful for all of your kindness and recommendations you have given to me. I will continue to update this post when new things occur.\n\n&#x200B;\n\nUPDATE 12/13:\nMy doctor changed my sleep medication dosage. I have another appointment with my medication management team in March. So far the camera has not caught anything except our inside dog, and us awake. The outdoor dogs have had two barking frenzies, which is out of the ordinary. Otherwise, as of now no further activity has occurred. My medications should not be giving me any adverse effects according to my Dr, so I am just continuing to wait and monitor the situation. Everything is for sure locked tight now.\nI wish I had a more exciting update, but this past week has been pretty normal. I am happy about that. Thank you all for your support.

[ { "from": "human", "value": "Husband barred from Thanksgiving… should I go? After being threatened to be uninvited from Thanksgiving at my aunt’s house for a few weeks now, it has finally happened. For context, I have spent every single Thanksgiving at my aunt’s house, including flying in from out of state during my college years. Politically, I have grown up generally left leaning, but my husband leans slightly to the right. Unlike me, my husband posts constantly on Facebook, and despite my wishes otherwise, he uses it as most would use a journal. He posts many podcasts and YouTube videos (most often Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan). A few weeks ago, he posted a podcast featuring Mike Bentz, and the subject matter as far as I understand it dealt with censorship. As she has done with many of his posts, my (extremely left leaning) aunt went on a commenting storm, but this one was even more insistent because Mike Bentz has a hidden past with white supremacy. I obviously don’t think it’s a good look, but my husband refused to take it down. This was several weeks ago, and while I don’t want to completely disregard Bentz’ past, the subject matter did not read white supremacy to me. My aunt made it clear he would not be welcomed if he continued to have it posted, and my husband felt he would be censored himself if he took it down. She has said she will be gracious if he asks for her forgiveness.\nI am pregnant with my first child and I love my family, including my aunt. I want to be there with them so badly, but this chaotic back and forth between my aunt and husband has gone on for so long that I don’t see them resolving things before then. My sister has advised me to block my aunt, but I can’t bring myself to (my sister is also super left leaning, so this surprised me). My aunt is messaging me constantly about this issue, reminding me why he is wrong and that I am still invited, but I am not replying. How do I navigate this Thanksgiving day?\n\nEDIT: I am overwhelmed by the responses, mostly in a good way! Thank you for everyone who took the time to read and consider; I will reply to as many comments as I am able to.\n\nTo address a few major concerns:\n- For everyone who believes I am married to a far right mysogonist rascist homophobe: This is simply not true. My husband and I have gladly attended several lesbian/gay weddings. I hold many leadership positions in the work I do, and he supports me fully. He has even pointed out instances of racism to me when he has witnessed it. I’m not saying that the voices he has opted to listen to hav zero negative impact, but they simply do not reflect the core of who he is. While I may not agree with everything my husband says or posts, all of the non-negotiables have been sorted through, and I have no doubt our child will be raised in a living and supportive home. He is not a white supremacist (which I have told my aunt), and he and I have been talking through the implications of his social media activity.\n- Blocking/unfollowing: I did not learn until mentioned below that posts can be shared to everyone except a certain few, so thank you for that. In any case, my husband wanted to keep lines open and continue to learn from my aunt and consider her points, yet she has seemed to belittle him for quite some time. After this “final straw,” he unfriended her.\n- For those who claim I have no opinion/backbone: because my vocation is religious in nature, I prefer to keep politics separate from what I spend so much time doing. As such, I do not often practice vocalizing political opinions. I do, however, appreciate the push to vocalize the values that are crucial to speak up about.\nLASTLY, MY THANKSGIVING PLAN: My mom is hosting a small Thanksgiving with my siblings, and I will be stopping by my aunt’s house briefly later in the day to drop off Christmas gifts. I would not have been able to sort through all of this without your input, so thank you all who were considerate, well wishing, and avoided making demeaning assumptions. Hoping everyone has a PEACEFUL Thanksgiving!" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Your husband is way more than “slightly right leaning” and based on your post, it’s possible that he’s a white supremacist as well. Your aunt is well within her rights to disinvite him from her home and at this point it’s up to you whether you want to go the family Thanksgiving you’ve been attending for years or sit out in the white supremacist’s corner with your husband. The most concerning thing here is how unbothered you seem about the fact that you’re having a child with someone who has views like his." } ]
