Reply to TIFU by not listening to the song my husband wrote for our autistic daughter. by backgroundmusik

It's such a personal experience that any advice will be just a shot in the dark but I'll try.

If you want to fix it, I guess you might have to wait it out. Just find the time he's comfortable and not occupied with music and only then try to explain your, I beg your pardon, inattentiveness to his music.

Even if you don't fully discern the details of his music, ask him to tell you about it, ask about the instruments, melodies, specific lyrics, the song structure, inspiration, the creative process, all those details non-musicians often don't care too much, but for a musician are of utmost importance. You will see the fire in his eyes when he starts telling you about it.

General words of praise, like "It's a beautiful song" are OK, but we all have heard they so many times, they make not much impression. Musicians love to be asked about their creations, so do find some time to talk to him.

Also, I wouldn't blame you for what happened. Discussing art is not a simple thing if you're not into it. And in your case it could well have been an inadvertent "failure to communicate."

Edit: spelling

Yeah , small businesses depend on word of mouth so screwing you over really isn’t in their best interest (unless they are really just out to scam you) but I was always told 1 bad experience (like yours) will be told to others about 10x (since you talked about it on Reddit maybe that’s like 10 million times) but if you say something good is only gets told half the time. So it’s really really bad businesses if they don’t want to fix this issue, their business depends on it!

Reply to TIFU by getting assigned a group project and getting sent memes by Keanu__Gaming__xD

Tell your prof the truth. If it was sent to you in a DM there will be an electronic trail to audit if need be.

Do NOT prevaricate or attempt to in any way protect the classmate, and do not make excuses. Just lay out the facts.

I would be concerned about a lot more than my project grade. Like being sent to honor court or getting kicked out for threatening a professor.

Depending on how much you watched it, I can see some justification for why she'd ask you to reduce your consumption. But asking you to unfriend girls you don't know? That's pretty insecure and controlling on her behalf. Blowing up about one or two videos buried on your laptop that you didn't know where there is also rather unreasonable.

If there's other things she's also 'dictated' to you, then you're in an abusive relationship/dating someone with narcissistic tendencies, you just haven't noticed yet.

this is entirely why I don’t believe most of these review sites. Op just made an edit and realized he was wrong, that the part never was in his computer. He was clever and caught his mistake but the average person is dumb as hell and would’ve blasted all the sites giving an innocent man a bad review due to false accusations.
