This will liven things up for grandma. It's a dramatic reading by a famous voice actor.

Right on. I'm 99% positive my dad is autistic (as sure as someone who isn't a professional can be), but back in the day if you were verbal and relatively high functioning you weren't "autistic", just quirky or eccentric.

It felt foolish when I did it. But it is what it is. Learnt a lot from it.

It sucks, it may seem impossible but you're putting both yourself and him in a bad position by dragging this out. What happens if he hits you with a "Will you marry me?"

I hope you the strength to do what you need to do and for good luck in the coming new year

Wholesome :)

I just thought it was funny you used that term for something back then but realized you meant you used google recently to look what the product is called now

>they aren’t going to comp you their own money.

actually they will. I guess they believe that their reputation is more important than a small amount of money

I've heard of plenty of them, unfortunately

I mean, people back then didn't get to have 6+ kids by not enjoying sex.

You know you have to loose that guy. Be honest and straight about your intentions and don't look back.

Run, very far and don't look back.

life’s short, go live

Fair enough, but man, not to rub it in, but you don’t leave that shit lying around attached to waste paper.

You need to get her a new She-Wee next Christmas!

Yeah, always find it weird to open the money present in front of others.

Wait, you’re telling me you knowingly bypassed a card you knew to have money in it to open the gift?

My wife and I met at 14 and she was my first girlfriend. 10 years later we married and it's been another 10 years since.

I’m the first person my husband dated as an adult, and my sister is still with her high school boyfriend (in her mid twenties now, probably gonna stick). It’s not that uncommon

I think there’s also something to be said for it going on for generations and that being the normal for the family. My boyfriend and his dad act so similarly in some ways. Early on in our relationship I very gently suggested to him I thought he might have autism and he didn’t believe me at first because of how his dad acts and that that was their family’s normal. He ended up getting tested and was diagnosed. So I think along with the lack of testing there’s also a component of not thinking that testing is needed.

Homestly sounds like a fun bonding moment for the gf and the ladies in your family. I’m sure they all shared an awkward look together- that probably started things off in the right direction.

Anyhow congrats. Staying married is hard, I’m on year 24.

Was she flirting or was she just doing her job? Lol

Umm... a library? Maybe an encyclopedia set if you were rich? My post must lack clarity.

If thats true, its one of the funniest and sweetest story I ever heard
