For context, I've been in a serious relationship with this person for 7 years, and we own a home together. His parents gifted me this shirt for Christmas and it made me sad. They said they thought I would think it's funny but I definitely didn't. I also wouldn't consider myself a train wreck in any capacity... I just graduated from college this year, I work a full-time job, and I own a home. AIO?

I mean, I know fully well that nothing that dies in Hollywood never really dies. But if you had to pick one, which franchise do you think has seen its last entry, its final remake, its ultimate made-for-TV swansong? Are we gonna see a remake of Lethal Weapon? A reimagining of Dirty Harry? I for once find it hard to imagine that Police Academy will make a comeback.

Where is the bottom with this Agency??

My father-in-law died on 25 Dec 2022. Extremely sad, unfortunate, my wife has been taking therapy since then.

Although we've two kids (currently 6F, 8F) we didn't celebrate 2023 & 2024 Christmas, because my wife wasn't ready. I respected that, didn't put lights or decos, just 2 pair of gifts for the kids.

Honestly speaking, me & our daughters didn't had a good bond with her dad, because he was terminally ill since years.

Since his death, I'm doing everything to support my wife. There's not a single advice her therapist gave me which I didn't follow. Trips, gifts, taking over 60% of work, staying calm when she shouts, getting her positive books and pushing her to focus on her hobbies and what not.

Her therapist, since around a year, just says one thing, that my wife needs to push herself now. We can help her to a certain extent, she needs to make efforts herself.

I was really excited for 2025 Christmas (mainly for kids, they kept asking us why we don't celebrate Christmas like x & y (their friends) which honestly drained my heart. I've been encouraging my wife too since October.

I was really expecting her to move on this time but again, she started behaving the same a week before Christmas and now, I was honestly fed up with her. For how many years are we gonna miss our family's Christmas, that too I call the best years, as our kids are of perfect age to celebrate it.

I asked her this in a straight tone, got no reply other than a moody behavior from her. This time I decided to prioritize our daughters' happiness and did the arrangements, decorations with them, while still trying to push my wife but she got highly irritated, upset as if why we're even celebrating.

Her behavior continued and I had a breaking point at some moment, I hold her shoulders and asked her in a high tone about till when is this going to last and why she's so keen to ruin the best time of our lives, she's upset like a very spoiled teenager always AITA here

Her siblings and even mom have moved on and celebrating Christmas fully since 2024.

Our teenage son spent a year studying in the States and came back with gifts. I got a Simon and Garfunkel album and my wife got a nice bright red (Mexican?) plate used for grating garlic and ginger etc. Both lovely gifts but the plate came with a small brush and this strange blue silicone tube and we can’t for the life of us figure out what it is for. Any ideas?

Thanks lindt 👍

In recent years statistical trends have highlighted a huge number of guys particularly in the 18 to 35 demographic who appear to be checking out of society all together just focussing on gaming and "wasting their lives". Stats from 2024-25 suggests that nearly 63% of men under 30 are single, and labor force participation for prime age males has seen a steady multi-generational decline. Simultaneously, reported rates of chronic loneliness among young men have hit record highs (roughly 25% in recent Gallup polls).

stuff like this was once seen as some weird local phenomenon limited to specific regions like in places like Japan (e.g Hikikomori or Herbivore Men) but now it looks like this stuff is going global or mainstream so this obviously leads to 2 important questions...

1. Is this withdrawal a rational response to a high cost of living and a winner-take-all"dating and job market? like to what degree has the digital age (gaming, social media, AI companionship) provided a good enough cope for guys to choose to be alone?
2. what is the long term consequence for our society if huge chunks of dudes are just giving up because they dont think its worth it?

All kinds of perspectives are welcome but I'd request yall to not engage in gender wars and even if u have something provocative to say try to phrase it in a non ragebait manner.

I just can't get past the feeling that all of the characters are just saying these lines and there was no additional takes to make scenes feel more genuine. Facial expressions aren't great and it just feels so staged. I know it's weird to say for a fictional tv show, but the other Stranger Things seasons felt much more meaningful. This season is just so much more unserious and everything has to be tongue in cheek.

(Sorry so long, skip ahead, just needed to get it out) I sent this picture to my best friend who said it looked like a generic Secret Santa haul.

These are the gifts from my 3 adult sons and 1 husband. I house them all. I am the sole provider. The sons have jobs. Husband doesn't.

My eldest, got me all the bath and sleep kits (in large, i am a size small) from a drug store and a pink Bills shirt. Love the Bills, hate pink. Dont one one pink anything. My middle got me a mug warmer because I drink 1 cup of coffee a day. And my husband got me nothing. And empty stocking, and nothing under the tree.

My youngest son got me a nice tea cup from a potter we see at the Farmers Market. But literally asked me if I wanted one when we were there, I stepped away so he could pick one, and he did. It is nice. And the only thing I like. But I basically hand delivered it to him for me. And my husband was jealous so I am just giving it to him. Its not worth it.

I have been crying all morning. I went to bed at 6:30 last night because my husband was mad he didnt get sex yet. He had made me go out of Christmas Eve to buy a $100 prime rib. He decided not to cook. That, or our backup plan, or anything. He was having a panic attack. He got too many presents, didnt open 2 of mine, got mad because his 200 gift I bought him won't be here until Tuesday. Meanwhile he did nothing at all, all season.

After he walked away from me for saying there was not much to put me in the mood yet and it was only 6pm and our sons were a right there. And we hadn't eaten anything. I just went to bed and cried. I took back the gifts he didnt open because I feel stupid for buying them. He criticized everything he was given by everyone. And they really tried for him, unlike me.

I am so hurt. I have been so depressed and supposedly they were all so worried about me. Yet, none of them did anything that really thought of me. I give up. Do I just leave? Id this the end?

And for the record, I made it so easy on them, I literally said out loud to all of them "all I want is stuff for my new watercolor painting addiction". Not one painting related anything. I feel stupid. They say I never ask for anything, i say they never listen. I know I was right this time.

This is what i got them:

Everyone but me: Christmas pjs/Stocking stuffers Each son: a Seward chest with their first stuffed animal and a self portrait from elementary school. Oldest son: Bills boombox that he is loving and showing off all the cool things it does. Middle: Comfy pants made special for him with our dogs face and name on them. Youngest: a very expensive LL Bean cardigan he wanted. Husband: LL Bean Chamois shirt, Billy Strings swag, Allman Brothers album blanket, expensive walking pad because he has diabetes and we live in Buffalo and it is all he does for exercise. Myself: anxiety and tears.
