This is not my story. This was told to me by a woman I knew from work several years ago; she’s a very sweet nurse.
Nurse graduated from nursing school and decided with her friend to
move to one of the cities that was listed as having “the most eligible
bachelors” from some publication. She moves and starts dating her future
husband.
Future Husband’s mother is a viper and decides Nurse is not good
enough for her family. The happy couple eventually get engaged and
future mother-in-law is having none of it. Tries for several months to
break them up; tries to convince Nurse to go back where she came from
and simultaneously tries to gently convince her precious son that Nurse
may not be good for him.
To add some more context to this situation, this MIL is pretty nasty
to Nurse but hides it well to other people, always making sure she’s
super (fake) sweet to everyone when others are around.
Finally wedding plans are set so MIL gets desperate. She gets Nurse
alone with a “generous” offer: leave fiance and never come back in
exchange for $10,000 (note: this was almost 30 years ago so I guess it
was kind of a shitload of money for most).
Nurse is so sick of this woman’s shit and is incredibly insulted.
However, she’s intelligent and maintains her composure. Nurse accepts
the offer.
Nurse takes the money, does not leave, and gets married anyway. Nobody else knows about this.
MIL cannot say or do anything about it without exposing herself to her family as a horrible person.
Nurse and husband are still happily married; their kids are grown; husband still has no idea this went down.
MIL has suffered silently for almost 30 years.
I reblog this every time I see it, because it’s a Machiavellian power move AND I LOVE IT!
Listen I love She-ra but WHERE does her fucking SWORD go when she’s not holding it? This drives me crazy?? It’s a giant-ass sword and they just don’t put it into 50% of shots and I can’t handle it
before you geeks bring out the inevitable “horny people have no rights xd” jokes again id like to remind you that there are sex workers on this site that either partly or fully rely on this site for income and theres literally nothing about this thats good or helpful
like fucking clockwork
Yeah, far too many people are going to lose their literal fucking job off this. Sexworkers, artists and workers alike, and it’ll do nothing but get SFW blogs caught in the crossfire as well, given they’re no doubt going to be using those same filters from like, Summer 2017, that’d indiscriminately mark SFW posts as NSFW. Anyone who doesn’t think this will affect them in some major way, is delusional, and I’m not at all sorry to say that. And what it’s “attempting” to combat, in that they just want to use this as an excuse to moderate the site LESS, that being CP, won’t even be stopped, given it’s all automated filters.
Tumblr is apparently doing some crazy nonsense again, so it seems like a good time to remind everyone that Pillowfort.io is a new social media platform that aims to give users control of their content and how it’s seen and shared, as well as provide better communication tools to promote conversation and creativity. If this sounds good to you, you can donate $5 to our PayPal and you will receive a registration link the Friday after your donation. And if you decide the site isn’t for you, you can request a refund for up to three weeks after you sign up. (All money we receive through this process is going towards paying our hosting expenses and compensating our programmers.)
Just sent me $5. Only thing Tumblr will understand is people leaving. Screw censorship
its really so wild that like, @staff did nothing to curb the pornbot epidemic after everyone was complaining about them, then did nothing to stop child porn from being posted on its website since they had already done nothing about the pornbots which made it too hard to pinpoint where the sources were. and after literally everyone complaining about specifically pornbots and child porn being present on their website they’re just banning ALL adult content in some half-assed family friendly nonsense that they couldn’t even double check for spelling/grammatical errors in their press release. like y’all are covering for a child rapist/pedophile(s) on your team and everybody knows it lmfao @staff
