I recently saw a meme that said "no one falls in love faster than a man who needs a place to stay" (though.. I think women can be guilty of that too..)

and, it really hit me that many times.. there are ulterior motives that people have when getting into a relationship.

Has anyone read the story about Minnesota state senator Nicole Mitchell.. arrested for breaking into her stepmother;'s house?

She claimed she was just trying to recover some of her dad's things.. and his ashes.. because the step mom stopped taking her calls.. so that's how she decided to resolve it.

 

Look.. that was your dad's wife.. Assuming he had a long loving relationship with his wife.. why are YOU entitled to the ashes.. he would have left anything he wanted you to have in the will... I wonder if she was an absentee daughter.. until she wanted things.

Sometimes I think these things are just made up

I read an article posted on Yahoo home page.  A woman is upset because her EX and his new wife are naming their child the same name that she had given their baby that she miscarried.

When "confronted".. the guy initially goes deer in the headlight.. like he didn't remember that was the name given to his dead baby.

Then.. he kind of acts like maybe it's honoring the dead baby.. and no.. he won't ask his new wife to change the name.. because it's her baby.. and his EX can't tell her what to do.

I was talking to a very wise woman the other day.  She said that sometimes we need to be mindful of oversharing.. and understanding the context of sharing our lives.. our dramas etc...   She was talking about her sister who has had a somewhat rocky relationship with her husband.. and who tends to overshare around the office water cooler with her ladies she works with... 

Step Wedding double standard?

I know we have a few of these wedding issues.. where (because we are mostly SM's).. we lament our exclusion.. or marginalization during these events.

BUT.. does anyone see it as a potential double standard that it's wrong to exclude a step parent from an invite to a wedding.. yet we also often see (future) step parents that want to exclude their skids (minor and/or adult) from THEIR weddings.

A few things are making me think about this on behalf of my fellow steptalk community.  My SIL (the one involved in chickengate that I was not talking to) died last Thursday due to end stage liver failure alcohol related.  My BIL has known for some time that she was likely not going to live very long.. but they neglected to get any life insurance on her when it would have been possible through his open enrollment at his work.. he called my SD who works related to benefits at his company just a couple weeks ago when things looked imminent.. and she had to tell him.. sorry.. too late.

So, has anyone seen the drama about one of the billionaire's on that missing sub's stepson?

Apparently he went to a Blink 182 concert.. complete with smiling picture on social media and he is being kind of shamed for it.. like how could he do something "fun" while there is such a potentially tragic situation going on.  He is trying to spin it that Blink 182's music has helped him through a lot in life.. etc.. but it isn't being shown as a good look haha.

 

But..  here is what people don't really get.
