‘Wise' friend just ditched marriage for two-day affair. Hax readers give advice.
Dear Carolyn: I'm struggling to know how (or even if?) I should stay friends with my friend who suddenly announced she no longer wants to be married, refused any counseling beyond (brief) divorce mediation and moved away to a nearby city. She completely blindsided and devastated her husband (primary parent) — and her barely-adult kids. I thought we were close and honest with each other, but everything about this is the opposite of what she'd told me about herself and her values.

49 Wildly Entitled People Who Prove We Are In A Literal Epidemic Of Selfishness
audacity of being late, then asking to be seen immediately because YOU have plans, marching into the back shouting, and then POSTING THE ENTIRE THING ON FACEBOOK, still somehow believing YOU are in the right. boy. This poor boyfriend. someone to be your sperm donor for FREE is wild. 4."Hey, Dad? Can you stop spending your own money so I get more when you die, which I am clearly counting down the days 'til?" who hate drama and confrontation don't make Facebook posts like this. vegan is a personal choice. You don't need to make it everyone's problem. people never grow out of the entitlement of siblings in early childhood. Related: did this person actually think this would work? was basically a case study in entitled people. person proved why they were an ex. I wonder why they were banned? If you can't read the above, it says (edited for spelling and grammar): So this happened last night at Trader Joe's in Prescott. I have not been able to wear a mask from day one due to a medical issue. But I am perfectly healthy this time, I have been able to enter the store without an issue for the past year as I have had a good rapport with some team members and most of the management team, especially the store manager whom I would touch base with from time to time to make sure I'm still good for entering the store. I had even been going in on Sunday evenings when there was a minimal amount of people. Well, I was surprised and dismayed to see this policy change, even though the numbers have been going down at a rapid pace. Now I'm expected to use this "special" cart when I go in. Really, it is humiliating, discriminatory, and bullying. Simply being punished and embarrassed for not being able to wear a mask. Might as well put flashing lights with bells and whistles on the cart, too. Definitely feeling more and more like I'm being treated as a Leper. I have already been "banned" from two stores I used a lot. That's where I eventually see this going. support should be used to help your kids, not quit your job. entitled can you get??? 14.*Sigh* Oh, brother. would you post this on Facebook? I get wanting to train your dog not to go on certain furniture (I also get concerns over inexperienced people adopting puppies and getting mad when they do puppy things). But threatening legal action over an adoption policy? That's where this goes over the edge for me. Lyft driver is under no obligation to load up their vehicle with your stuff! Related: wives are WILLLLLD. The self-importance here from your husband being in the army — not you — is scary. a difference of a few dollars. Is it really worth calling the manager over, RECORDING the conversation, and reporting the business? calling 911 because you want to watch TV. you really need to be watching two shows at once? the door is locked, it's closed. Don't try to sneak in after someone and get mad when you can't buy an item. offer someone an inch, and they want a mile! question: what does "reasonable" mean in your book? these concert-goers care that NO ONE else was standing, or were they too wrapped up in their own experience to even notice? Related: who use seats for their bags on crowded trains deserve a special place in hell. with people who do this on public transport. people who do THIS when a store has a sale. I hope that special place in hell is being stuck doing group projects with this person forever. eternally being stuck behind these three. this man really think the cashier wouldn't notice? Or was he just hoping they wouldn't have enough energy — after a day of dealing with entitled assholes like this guy — to stop him? great behavior to model for your kids. This is how entitled assholes are made. put food on your plate if you're not going to eat it! Some scraps or a pancake here and there are fine. But this amount??? of all, you could've helped your wife. Second of all, cleaning up your kid's mess is part of being a parent. 35."Hey, can you be a half-decent person?" "No. 💅" do people think this is okay??? one wants your dirty bare feet touching their arm during a flight! Related: utter lack of respect on airplanes should be studied. like people think they enter a different universe where the normal rules of decorum don't apply as soon as they set foot in the airport. takes two seconds to take your stuff to the trash. this woman decided the sign didn't apply to her. with this couple. people really lack this level of self-awareness? People just go through life like this? just block the way for everyone. No one will mind. do you need all three spaces??? an accessible spot is bad enough, but then parking like this??? feels like it shouldn't be allowed. is why Parisians don't like Americans.
