The boyfriend about wanting his girlfriend to cover up her tattoos for when his parents came and when they were actually excited about the tattoos and the mom ended up getting one it was just so funny how he was obviously trying to control how she dresses and presents herself and then tries to control any input or influence the girlfriend has on the mom. Like I do think there is something to be said about taking into account what your partner wants and their opinion but at the end of the day I take a my body my choice approach. Seems weird how upset he was about the women having bodily autonomy 👀

The synchronized “ooohooooooo” at the first problem had me laughing way too hard 🤣 am I little?

As someone from Germany I find the bride and groom somewhat reasonable, tbh. Here it is not standard practice to get a plus one. You get an invitation and the people on the invitation are invited. Why should people that do not know me, but know my boyfriend, pay for a plate and have a stranger present at their moment? We are invited to 4 weddings this year (all his friends - he is 7 years older), 3 of those couples we've been out with regularly. Only one couple I don't know. I was explicitly invited too, and was a little surprised, but am happy to come. But even though my bf and I have been together for 7 years, it would have been totally okay (and normal) for me not to be included. I don't know them, they don't owe me an invitation and my boyfriend is his own person outside of our "couplehood". Maybe if we were married that would change things slightly, but even then... if there were financial or spacial (venue capacity) restrictions, I think it would be totally okay to just mention that in the invitation. Weird to just expect strangers to want you there for their wedding... I suspect it might be a cultural thing. We might just be a little more guarded in general over here.

I also thought that it is for bride and groom to decide who to invite or not. However if someone really wanted to come with a plus one then I would allow, especially if it is a close relative or a good friend. No point fighting about it IMO.

Interesting, it must be a culture thing bc for an average wedding here in the US “plus ones” are pretty common. Usually it’s not for some random date or brand new partner but if the wedding has the room and budget a lot of people in a long term relationship will get to bring them as a plus one. The European option certainly sounds cheaper lol but sometimes it’s a weird fun time being at a wedding where you don’t know a lot of people as a plus one

To be honest, I kind of think it makes sense, I've been to a few family things where my mom knows people but I don't and I just feel so awkward, like I'm only there because it's my mom's cousin or something who I've met once or twice before. Also if it's your special day, surely you want to spend it with people you know... I do think she becomes an AH when she's not willing to meet the guests, like, go out to dinner with your cousin and his fiancee (?) And get to know them better so you'll feel comfortable with both of them there

With the sock story - unless there is a company dress code that says specifically what type/colour of socks are allowed then it was out of place for the op to bring it up.

I think it's totally fair to not want plus ones, but then family's spouses should be personally invited.

Yeah, like, having a "no plus ones" rule in general (as in, only people invited can come) isn't bad in itself. There can be financial reasons, venue size restrictions, and also you might feel compelled to invite some people who you don't know well because, family, and then not trust them not to bring someone horrible. Also some people might find it very stressful to meet a load of complete strangers, like if people bring "dates" who they may not even know well themselves. However, if you know someone has a partner they've been with for a reasonable amount of time (like, I'd probably just say if they're together when you send the invites and you know about them, since invites generally go out some months prior to the wedding) it's definitely polite to invite them along too if you can afford to. Personally, we had some evening guests so if people had new partners we told them they could invite their partners to the evening too. And for a couple of people we thought might not know many people, we gave them unamed plus ones. Also this bride is literally basically saying "I don't like your partner so they're not invited". Lol

If it's a budget issue, then "no plus one" makes total sense. Every person is an additional cost. But this person specifically says it's not a budget issue.

I think with the tattoo one, it’s a kid losing his idealistic version of his parents. Growing up, usually, kids put their parents on a pedestal and think highly of them. And as we get older we realize they are humans and can make mistakes just as easily as we can, but we still generally hold them to a higher standard. Even as an adult when things don’t go well you turn to your parents. So I think he just had this idea of who he believed his parents were based on how they raised him. And when that idea was shattered he didn’t really know how to handle it. I think it has less to do with him not having some kind of control over the decision and more to do with the fact that he felt blindsided by the whole situation. His mom getting a tattoo was probably the last thing he ever expected, so to see it happen and seemingly out of no where must have rattled him. But even so, his gf is right. His mom is a grown adult and can make decisions for herself. And if anything he should be happy cause, 1. He knows that if he ever wants one they won’t give him kickback or flack for it. And 2. He knows they’re ok with him dating someone with tattoos.

I think it has to do with them being "conservatives". Imagine if your mom yelled at you when you tried getting a tattoo as a teenager and then, 20 years later, she sees tattoos on someone else and immediately gets one herself. As a gay man, I experienced my mom being annoyed at my sexuality, but when she saw other gay guys she'd be like "oh look, he's gay, it's so cool that he's brave enough to be himself!". I think the feeling must be similar.

The first story made me appreciate my hubby even more, he wasn’t a cat person before and didn’t want to adopt any at first but has become so loving and sweet to our 2 cats in the 2 years we’ve had them. One sleeps on an extra pillow above my pillow every night. When our kitty naps on top of my husband, hubby doesn’t move and will stay in the same position for hours to not disturb him. Lol I think it’s sweet. I think caring for a pet together has been a bonding experience for us and I feel even closer to him because of his acceptance of the kitties. It’s not just about the cats. His behavior shows me the empathy he has for other living creatures, and the respect and care he shows them warms my heart. I could never accept (and wouldn’t want to) a guy who doesn’t like them or like me enough to open their heart a little to small animals who just need love and acceptance.

In regard to tattoos, how long it takes it depends on how experienced the artist is and the size of the tattoo--at least in my experience as a tatted person, not an artist myself. My favorite tattoo is probably the most detailed, with delicate line work and shading, and it's beautiful! The artist was incredibly skilled, and it took him only about an hour. It's totally possible the guy and his dad went outside and just got to talking, and before they knew it an hour or so had passed. What I'm getting from the post was that the tattoo wasn't huge, and it was probably dainty (just assuming so because it was flowers and the mom's first tattoo). So it's very possible to complete a tattoo in that time :)

Take the boy to the pound. The cat stays. I have accepted my toxo carrier status.

I've always understood the general wedding plus-one rule to be that spouses, fiances, and long-term partners get an automatic invite, and everyone else is on a case by case basis (socially recognized couples being a single "unit") If you want to give everyone else a plus-one, that's great. If you want to keep it to familiar people, that's fine too. but those "units" have to be invited together.

My sister is getting married next weekend. She and her partner are on a tight budget so they were really cautious with their guest list. They still decided to invite their close friend's partners and to the ones that they didn't invite they explained that they were on a budget and really wanted the ceremony to only include people that are close to them (this applies to family members too). Everyone was understanding. My boyfriend didn't get invited because we've only been dating a couple of months and I didn't get mad about it, I think it's completely understandable.

The tattoo story had me rolling!! y'all what the hell? also the size of the tattoo had to do a lot with the time it takes to create it, stencil it etc. That dude is a grown ass child. If a parent wants a tattoo then a parent gets a tattoo, same goes for any grown adults that wish to get one. Plus I think it's sweet that the mom go it from the girlfriend and not from a stranger,... It bonded the GF and the could be mother-in-law and he knows that its safe and nothing should go wrong with it.

One thing I’m concerned about that I haven’t seen anyone else mention in the tattooed gf story is that the guy asked her to cover up her tattoos before meeting his parents…does that not seem like a red flag to anyone else? If her tattoos are what he likes the most about her as he so claims, then why would he ever ask her to cover herself as if her tattoos are something to be ashamed or embarrassed about? And what, does he expect his gf to wear long sleeves/pants for the rest of her life just so his parents won’t see?? Idk, that just doesn’t sit right with me. If he really cared about her and the way she artistically expresses herself, then he should have wanted to present her to his parents just the way she is, in her full authenticity :/ I agree with Ben & Simply in that maybe he has some control issues and he wants to be the one who dictates when, where, and to who the gf gets to express herself with her tattoos. He should be happy his parents and his gf get along! I think his parents accept her more than he does 😂

It could also just be a thing to protect the girlfriend from judgment. This story was wild, but usually conservative parents are conservative parents. Sometimes it’s best to maintain a cordial (but not close) relationship with extended family and occasionally covering up tattoos can be part of that. It is a thing to navigate together as a couple. The problem is this young man’s language, ‘telling her’ to cover up. It should always be a choice, not a command.

I kinda get him tho (I interpeted it as if he asked her to wear that clothing, not demmanded). He certainly has no right to dictate what she wears, but in this case it was for safety reasons. He thought that his parents were very judgemental and conservative, and probably he didn't want any confrontation. Maybe he wanted to protect his gf from negative comments, one never knows how accepting or mean other person will be. So I get how he kinda warned her about a possible negative outcome, and suggested her to change clothes to avoid that. Again, I interpreted as if he told her something along the lines of "My parents are very conservative and don't like tattoos, please wear long sleeves so that they don’t make any negative comments and you get along better", kinda asking but not demanding

okay i’m listening to this as i’m doing my laundry. tuesday is my day off and i usually clean the house while listening to this pod. the first one about the cat rubbing on the toothbrush made me think my cat would never do that. the pod keeps going and i’m listening to the tattoo one and my cat meows to go into the bathroom. my cat loves to drink sink water and never passes up a chance, so i let her in (we keep the door closed because she jumps in the tub then walks around the house with little wet paws and leaves toe bean prints all over). she jumps onto the counter and i happened to leave my toothpaste out and she immediately starts rubbing her face on it. apparently it’s not far fetched to think she would rub on my toothbrush. my cat is a rescue, i used to work in vet medicine and my mom is a vet, and i kind of happened upon her. most people in vetmed have “messed up” animals because we’re good at caring for the ones with strange health things. my cat happens to have chronic rhinitis, and she sneezes snot globs a couple times a week when she has a sneezing fit. she’s also quite greasy and doesn’t groom herself because her nose is all messed up (that is the reasoning the feline internal medicine specialist told me-i got great discounts so she’s had nasal flushes and a CT and a rhinoscopy, and the specialist says there’s nothing we can do for my cat’s sneezing). many people find it very gross, but after seeing the gross things other pets have going on, i don’t think a little snot is all that gross. she sleeps on my pillow with me, and lots of people are horrified that sometimes she sneezes on me or the sheets and she’s sometimes a little smelly. but ultimately i wash my sheets very regularly, and i had her tested for fungal infections and stuff and they were negative so i know her condition won’t hurt me or anybody else. my partner also worked in vet med for a while and he doesn’t mind it either. though if he did he’d be sleeping on the couch-nothing could happen that would prevent my cat from sleeping with me in my bed because that’s what she wants and she gets what she wants. just cat owner things. lol.

He had a pair of broccoli socks, and they were sort of infamous in our class, every time he wore them, people would go “Broccoli socks!” and cheer.

I normally read at the table, and the older ladies that helped out in the cafeteria liked to see young people reading, and regularly asked me about the book i was reading. this 60-70 y.o. woman asked me what book i was reading right at a more explicit part. i had to explain the plot of the book, dancing around the not-school-appropriate parts. she then said "that sounds good, im going to read that." a month later, i saw her giving me some weird looks. im sorry mrs steiber....

Tha k you both !!!! I am happy this is JUST the content I need right now

Love your username lol

Plus ones at weddings are so hard. You want people to have a good time by ensuring they have a close friend, but it can feel strange to have complete strangers at such an intimate ceremony. Probably the bride should have allowed long term couples to come 😂

After the week I just had, I'm so grateful for Ben and Cristine for posting today. This podcast is always the highlight of my week

The story about the grill just reminds me of an anime called "Food Wars!". The only way to prove who is superior is with a battle of the grills.

About the Winnie the Pooh guy: I think his behavior is indicative of greater issues. Regardless of if the person you’re naked around is your partner and you live with them, if someone is expressing discomfort at the constant exposure of your genitalia, you should cover it up. Bottom line is that this guy is exposing himself to another person without their consent and with full knowledge that it makes them uncomfortable. This is bordering on s€xual harassment or at the very least a clear disrespect of boundaries.

Thanks for clarifying about the last podcast being taken down, I seriously thought I hallucinated about the podcast upload

i'm matching cristine in that julien merch today

I read a smutty book on the train last week. It was a crowded train and I did look around to check if anyone was looking at my screen 😂

Pockets are fair game in our house. We have the laundry lottery. If you find money it’s yours!!

My boyfriend gets upset if I don’t empty his pockets(I have accidentally washed his wallet). That guy is being suspicious, and needs to do his own laundry.
