Dog friendly restaurants myrtle beach sc

Contributing my own experiences as I got a lot of helpful information on this sub!
Went to Osaka - Kyoto - Nara - Fukuoka - Nagasaki - Hiroshima - Matsuyama - Okayama - Himeji - Wakayama.
Will mainly be writing about highlights for each place after some general info:
General:

• Solo traveller in my early 20s from Australia. Travelling as an end of uni celebration for myself before I start my career. I am fluent in conversational Japanese, however reading and writing skills are at the level of primary school lol - google translate camera helped.
• I mainly travelled with one 32L backpack (used a light drawstring backpack on day trips when I left my 32L at hostels/ coin lockers). I did take a mostly empty suitcase to take souvenirs and just for some extra space at the end of my travels, but I left this at a friend's house while I was going around. And also to take my hiking boots for when I did the Kumano. Travelling light was amazing.
• JR pass was totally worth it as I used trains and shinkansen extensively. Also forgot my luggage like an idiot in a different city once and the JR pass saved me on a lot of time and money when I had to go back and retrieve it.
• I stayed in the cheapest hostels - great places to meet people and I met up with a few later on in my trip, which broke up the occasional boredom/loneliness of solo travel. Also went to izakaya and hot pot places with them where more = merrier.
• Got Mobal unlimited SIM card - however keep in mind that data speed slows SIGNIFICANTLY after going through the first 7GB, might as well not have been unlimited. I should have used free Wifi whenever possible.
• Withdrawing cash - major fuck up of mine, I only withdrew 10,000 to 20,000yen each time, so wasted a lot of money on transaction fees. Next time will cash out bigger amounts, especially as risk of theft in Japan is relatively low. Am counting this as a lesson for a first time traveller.
• Overall expenses including plane tickets, food/ entertainment expenses, accommodation, travel insurance (via RACV), transport, SIM card = $4000 AUD for 4 weeks (I did minimal shopping, also stayed with friends for free for 1 week).

OSAKA

• Churaisai: Okinawan cuisine restaurant - went on a friend's recommendation. Delicious, one of my favourite restaurants now. In Takatsuki, only a couple minutes walk from Settsu-Tonda Station.
• Mister Donut and Duskin Museum - small, however can decorate or make your own donuts if you book (which I didn't). Actually found the upstairs Duskin cleaning museum more fascinating.
• Namba, Dotonbori, Umeda - busiest part of Osaka, loved the vibes, great street food and shopping. Definitely get some takoyaki.
• Hattori Ryokuchi Koen - in Suita. Open air museum of old Japanese farmhouses, found it surprisingly very interesting to imagine how people must've lived. Beautiful plum blossoms in bloom as well.
• Minoh Koen - Beautiful landscape. Must try the momiji tempura (deep fried maple leaves).

NARA

• Super fast mochi pounding - see up close and then enjoy the freshly pounded delicious yomogi mochi filled with anko paste and covered in kinako powder.
• Todaiji - one of the largest bronze statues of Buddha.
• Horyuji - arrived 20 minutes before closing, was rushed through but also there were absolutely no other tourists left and the atmosphere of the quiet temple was something else.
• Kofun - ancient tombs/ graves for important people, interesting if you are into history.

KYOTO

• Arashiyama - beautiful bamboo forest but busy with tourists. My favourite part was the Monkey Park (requires a fair uphill hike but beautiful view of Arashiyama town). Tenryuji Garden was also very pretty and peaceful. Lot of food and souvenir stores.
• Kinkakuji - beautiful shrine covered in gold.
• Byodoin - tranquil garden and shrine. Located in Uji which is famous for its green tea.

FUKUOKA

• Best tonkotsu ramen I've ever had at a place called Kirin ramen. Fukuoka is famous for hakata ramen!
• Uminonakamichi Seaside Park - rented a bicycle and cycled around, is on a scenic island connected to the mainland. Then walked to Shikanoshima (which is further along the island) to the beach and Shimanoumi Jinja.
• Motsunabe at a place called Miyamoto, staff were super friendly and the food was so good! Convinced some people I met at the hostel to eat with me as nabe is something you can't really eat alone, and the place was only across the road. We had an unfinished bottle of sake there and they let us take it back to the hostel.
• Dazaifu - main temple sadly under construction but had umegae mochi (so good!). Pretty plum blossom trees. Line of shops leading to temple from the station selling souvenirs and other goodies.
• Ainoshima Cat Island - caught the ferry here with a new friend from the hostel. Beautiful ocean scenery. Friendly cats. Delicious roast curry for lunch at this hidden away restaurant, awesome vibes, they gave us pieces of sea glass to take home at the end. Very cute.
• Yatai - small mobile food stalls alongside the river in Fukuoka. The one we went to had great gyoza and vibes.

NAGASAKI

• Bomb Museum and Peace Park - heartbreaking and thought-provoking. I have been to the Hiroshima one before but this museum is definitely worth going to as well. Cheap admission, very well structured, very interesting and important lessons.
• Urakami Cathedral - beautiful cathedral but emphasised that it is not a tourist attraction.
• Oka Masaharu Museum - small 3 storey home exhibit tucked away, a shame it is not better known or advertised. I was the only one there and it looked closed from the outside when I was looking for it. Very detailed and informative sources on the war crimes committed by Japan on Korea and China.
• Dejima - open air museum of the preserved former trading Dutch post. Reconstructed buildings and exhibitions inside. Open til late.
• Champon at Lao Lee in Nagasaki's Chinatown. Must try
• Unzen Onsen - debated whether worthwhile the 1.5hr bus ride from Nagasaki but glad I went. Bubbling mud and vapour clouds. Wish I had planned better and went early enough to hike. Soaked in the onsen. Had to get used to the sulphur smell but very cool place.
• Toruko rice is a Nagasaki specialty with spaghetti, beef sauce, tonkatsu and curry pilaf on the one plate. Tasted great.
• Inusayama Observatory - took ropeway to the top of the mountain to see one of the top 3 night views in Japan.

HIROSHIMA

• Note: only time I stayed in a capsule hotel and didn't enjoy as much as my other accom. Something like 30 beds in one room, lots of business people coming and going at odd times, people not as friendly as a guesthouse. Obviously this is not relevant just to Hiroshima.
• Miyajima - ate Hiroshimayaki, climbed Mt Misen (very steep! Took around 75mins to climb 2.5km but view was worth it). Must eat age momiji manju.
• Fukuyama - went to the castle grounds, and the art museum. 2 exhibits in the art museum plus an additional special katana exhibit which we unfortunately didn't have time for. But art exhibits were cheap and I enjoyed it.

SHIMANAMI KAIDO CYCLING: ONOMICHI to IMABARI 76km

• Stayed in Onomichi the night before - small seaside town. Cinema Museum and History Museum were small but interesting, especially the cinema museum. However there is no English information so found it a bit inaccessible.
• Left early to rent the bicycle and catch the ferry across to the cycle starting point. Would recommend anyone in the area to do the cycle, it is absolutely beautiful going across the 7 islands between Honshu and Shikoku, biking across the ocean on the bridges connecting the land. I am not a cyclist but relatively fit so I finished in about 6 hours, and only stopped briefly for breaks. Because I left so early many of the stores weren't open for the first half of the trip. Doable for beginners as well, you can cycle part of it and go back or catch a bus, split it into two days by staying a night somewhere, or cruise along the whole thing in about 10 hours. Path is incredibly well marked and easy to follow, roads are safe and lead all the way to Imabari station, the finishing point.
• Area is famous for citrus, lots of citrus desserts even in the konbini.

MATSUYAMA

• Caught the train to Dogo Onsen after my cycle. Unfortunately the main onsen was under construction, and only allowing limited numbers to a restricted area. I opted to go to the two smaller onsens connected to it called Tsubakinoyu (soooooo hot! Couldn't stay in longer than 5 minutes at a time. Awesome for my fatigued muscles) and Asukanoyu (the newest of the three onsens, very clean and very warm).

OKAYAMA

• I may have been getting tired of travel at this point but felt like there wasn't much to enjoy here. Okayama Castle was pretty from the outside, they had English resources but I still found it a bit hard to follow. I should've also eaten beforehand as there was only a small cafe inside. Korakuen Garden is famous and huge but the grass looked a bit dead when I went. Still beautiful though, nice place for a picnic.
• Kurashiki was very cool! Old preserved merchant town with buildings converted into museums, shops and restaurants. Area is famous for producing denim. Easy access via train from Okayama.
• Kibiji / Kibi plans - rented a mamachari (bicycle) but I got lost and didn't make it the whole 17km between Bizen-Ichinomiya station and Sojo station as I didn't have enough time. Easy to get lost if not paying attention to signs. Pleasant trail meandering through rice fields, going past historical sites.

HIMEJI

• One of the few surviving castles in Japan. Obviously maintained and refurbished but walls still intact after hundreds of years! Beautiful structure, extensive and fascinating history exhibits. Definitely worth going.
• An artist called Yuki Matsuoka had a little exhibition in the shopping street between Himeji station and the castle. Was some really cool art, and artist is hella friendly.

WAKAYAMA - KUMANO KODO PILGRIMAGE HIKE, NAKAHECHI ROUTE

• Spent one night in Tanabe, then hiked 4 full days (80km total for me) staying in Tsugizakura, Yunomine onsen, Koguchi and Shingu.
• World Heritage Site. Beautiful and challenging hike across mountains. Saw 2 wild deer, felt very lucky. Visited the three Grand Shinto Shrines in the region: Hongu Taisha, Nachi Taisha and Hayatama Taisha, as well as Nachi Falls, the tallest single-tier waterfall in Japan.
• Required extensive planning as minimal food available, accommodation is limited and needs to be booked early. If staying in Yunomine Onsen my hostel had 3 of its own private onsens inside included in accommodation fee. Blissful after a day of hiking.
• I regret not collecting stamps from the very start, as if you do this and the Camino de Santiago they award you with a 'dual pilgrim' recognition, as they are the only two pilgrimage routes listed as World Heritage sites. Also the stamps are very detailed and unique to each area.
• I caught the train back to Tanabe from Shingu along the coast - stunning ocean scenery and beach areas. Stayed another night in Tanabe before heading to Kansai Airport to return home.

Had the most wonderful time :)) Just missed the cherry blossom season but also means I missed the peak tourist season too so am content. Would love to explore the north and east areas of Japan next time I travel!

Long backstory: I'm [F]15 and I live in an apartment with my mom[42] and recently my dad[39]. My parents split[after moving to st.paul] when I was young and because of my mom and her issues I didn't have a relationship with my father other than spending the night with him, my uncle and his wife and my cousin every few months. Otherwise he was a ghost. When we moved back to my hometown where my family lives when I was 6 or so, my dad and I started to reconnect as much as we could. He was always nonchalant and quiet but very hardworking and usually reliable. I lived with him for a few years when I was 10 to 12 while my mom was really deep in her addiction until she got clean, and things happened and I had to stay with her. During those 2 years dad had a crazy native girlfriend [30 something] and later a crazy stupid girlfriend at the time who was 22. She was completely insufficient in any useful life skills and had previously been in 2 relationships (In the first one she was abusive as she told me and in the second one she was abused). When my father got with her she was about to lose her town boys from her second relationship for doing weed and coke during her pregnancy and since her ex had a felony and domestic charges they were going to be put into foster care. In the end she lost them both because she failed to make a genuine effort to either get clean or keep them, god forbid both at the same time. And convinced dad to get a dog I explicitly told him I did not want and was not going to help take care of. While after all that,,, dad with the scarps scraped together a semi successful restaurant.
Fast forward 7 months she's crashed all 3 of my dad's cars thanks to the weather up here near the border, and got dad sent to prison[She left an unlicensed played white car full of drugs in front of his business and he took the fall because the police said it was in his. Something I was not made aware of until 2 months after my father had disappeared from prison which I did not know about either. But I'll get to that] for what was supposed to be 4 years for an almost federal level drug charge after getting pregnant with him. I was while he was in the process of being detained, told J was going to have a sleepover at my mom's with no further details. And was later told everything[she knew] a week before his trial by my mom. During this time my dad's girlfriend decided to go on a week long trip to Las Vegas and leave the dog she insisted on getting alone in his kennel and texted me to 'take him out', mind you I did not live in the same building as her. I ended up just taking him with me much to my father's dismay because she harassed him non stop about not having the dog anymore. She later brought to Cane corso puppies while dad was in prison with his money, and got kicked out because they didn't have papers for them and it was originally a no pets building. Thankfully for her though she got into the Jeremiah program and had a place to live after, and dad did not get his security deposit back because she let his new puppies pee and poop everywhere, especially my old room which still has most of my stuff because I only packed to have a sleepover at my mom's months prior.
After all that, my dad got out 3 years early on good behavior because they were getting full of actually bad criminals and couldn't hold everyone, and let the small fries free.
So his child with her was born right after he got out, and she got her rights terminated because she was on drugs this entire pregnancy too, and dad has fought tooth and nail to get the rights to have her the past three months she's been alive. My mom thankfully let them both stay here while everything was sorted out legally,, plus it was the only place dad could get her approved to stay at. And she even let his somehow still girlfriend stay there for a bit too even though that is completely illegal because she is supposed to have no contact. After she did drugs in mom's sober apartment and I told mom how much I hate her she refused to let her over anymore, and I have also been taking care of the baby until my mom gets off work after I get home from school everyday while trying to keep my grades up and continue participating in my activities.
Another detail I remembered, One day before dad went to prison she and I got into a fight after most of the bad stuff before he went to prison, and he decided to talk to me instead of her because I was her by talking about the boys she lost to the system. After he hit me multiple times AND I hit her back once, he was present in the room and watched the entire thing. I mean I get I'm not the feminine daughter you wanted but seriously dad?
Anyways I'm working on my grades taking care of my dad's kid for a few hours every day.
On to the AITH part:
Today my mom had a dentist appointment, and my dad had to leave for work at the usual time when I got home from school. I actually skipped school for an unrelated reason but when I got home had to take care of a baby, dad told be mom had an appointment and she wouldn't be back at all today[recently mom's been hanging out with this guy she likes everyday and hour before dad gets home leaving me with the baby an hour after I would prefer to go to sleep for school and an hour longer than before.] That after her appointment she's going to a NA meeting and then going to her friends, and that mom said it was okay for my dad's ex to come over and help me watch the baby while dad was at work.
Now I have often handed her off as soon as I could, and I Am Not The BEST at taking care of her. But mom and dad know how much I hate that woman who is somehow almost ten years older than me with the maturity of a 7th grader.
So I told my father no. Dad said mom said it was okay, and I calmly said I don't care I will not let her in. I can take care of her by myself. Dad proceeded to say "Then I'll stay to let her in." So he went outside.
I assumed he went to work cause he would be late if he didn't leave then and there but just in case I did the chain lock. And who would've guessed 20 minutes later he comes back, unlocks the door and trusts to open it with his girlfriend standing beside him. He knocks when I don't open it and asks me to let them in and she is going to help me while dad is gone. I hesitantly set the baby down in her bassinet and went and unlocked the door and told dad, she is not coming inside here.
Me and dad are for a few minutes, and dad says he won't let me have her here alone" like that's been an issue until now. and I brag that "she hasn't cried since you left 20 something minutes ago and was fine till you made me set her down." He responds "you know earlier this week cos came by because the neighbors complained she was crying all night." I did not know that, and she was a fussy baby either way even when all her needs were met she would cry just cause she could. Especially so when she was with me. But all last week she was terrible for everyone including him and mom. And the fact he had the audacity to say that to me. I rudely told him no, and he said "If you won't let her in then I'll just stay home." Which is a big deal for him because he had to cut his hours when he got temporary custody of her and has been late a lot. But I was angry and would rather drop out of highschool and work to pay dads rent then be in a room with her so I said "do it." All the while her girlfriend stood there dumbfounded saying "I thought I was going to see my baby." Even though she has historically done a worse job than me, and it is straight up completely lose all custody illegal to have her with the baby outside of scheduled visits once of which she had this morning while my as home.
He did it, and right after he said "If you're going to act like an adult I'm going to treat you like an adult." Told me to get out of his face, aka 4 feet away from him in the shared living room and indirectly threatened to hit me if I didn't leave because I'm an “adult” now.
Dad has chosen to ignore my existence, and indirectly disowned me, and refused to let me help him even though his hands are full.
I've been talking to my mom as much as I could be she has only responded to a handful of my messages
It's 6 hours later close too when dad would get off work. And he called his girlfriend to get him food even though I had a pizza[I had to beg my mom to order me because dad was ignoring me and I doubt he would've got me food]and asked if he wanted any to which he ignored me again.
I'm sitting in my room and I've been crying on and off and I really don't know what to do.shoudk I apologize? Would he even listen?
Am I really the AH for making my dad not go to work cause he didn't trust me enough to leave me with his kid.
Sorry for grammatical weeks or confusion. I wrote this entire thing in a Fit of rage and depression because I'm starting to feel like I'm the one in the wrong.

TW: suicidal intent; ED
I’ll be honest, I don’t even remember when 19 turned into 20.
I was a fresh college dropout, moved back in with my abusive mom, and rode a kid’s bike to a gig waiting tables at a run-down local pizza joint. The only romantic attention I got was the creepy owner hitting on me, and I spent most of my free time in internet writing forums with the only “friends” I knew.
At one point, I filled my pockets with rocks and walked into the ocean a few hundred feet from the one bedroom apartment I shared with my mom and sister. I couldn’t make myself walk past my hips into the cold water, and I ran home sobbing and soaking wet. Things were really not good.
I would look at other “real” adults and wonder how on god’s green earth they pulled that off? Was it possible to actually have your shit together?
I turn 30 in about a month, and I would do anything to shake that kid by the shoulders and promise them everything is going to be okay. That they’re not a total fuck up, and everyone else is just pretending at 20.
At 29, I have a career, not just a job, with a company I’m helping build from the ground up. I feel immense accomplishment for my role and working my way into the six-figure range of the white collar world. I have a 401(k) and keep tabs on the stock market; I used to think that was “rich people crap.” Some in my industry even consider me something of an expert, and my career is just starting.
I wake up at 7:30 like clockwork, unbelievable. I take vitamins and probiotics and I choke down these objectively gross smoothies that have tons of nutrients. I brush my teeth every single day, and even floss most mornings! I actually love myself enough to bathe regularly and smile and comb my hair instead of just throwing on a huge hoodie and calling it a day. People are warmer to me; I laugh more.
I have a whole wife somehow! I thought I was an untouchable toad at 20, and now the most beautiful woman in the world wakes up next to me every morning. We’re living in a house we love and we’re saving to buy own own; we have two amazing dogs and we live in our favorite city. We go on vacations at least yearly, more if we can, and I see my family a few times a year without getting into any screaming matches.
I go hiking and kayaking all the time; I didn’t even know I liked those things at 20. I’m taking a bouldering class next week, and I ride my bike almost everyday. I go to the gym most days and I enjoy it. I ran a 10k this last winter simply for fun. I’m a vegetarian now, and in the best shape of my life - me at 20 had an unchecked eating disorder and lives on ramen.
I have spreadsheets for my bills. I clean my house on a regular basis; my closet is almost immaculate. I strategize which CC to use to gain airline points, and I own more than one formal suit. I wear supportive shoes and don’t drink too much (usually) and have real, actual, meaningful friendships.
My life is absolutely bursting with love; both for and from me.
I wish I could sit on the beach and console that little 20 year old kid; I am so happy now, and I’m so glad I’m here. I’m so GLAD about all of my mistakes. I’m so glad that life keeps going.
I can’t tell this to my past self, so I hope someone hears me: You are going to figure this out. You are growing and learning; there are so many tomorrows ahead. You will get there.

My dad just passed away unexpectedly in the STL area (IL side) and we’ll be heading back from Cedar Rapids quite a bit in the coming months. Quincy is where we always stop so our 11-month-old can have a break from being in the car but the dog goes with us so I’d prefer not to just leave him in the car with warmer temps coming. I’m a little familiar with Quincy because my grandma is from there and we visited a lot as kids, I’ve always liked the Pier (RIP), Tiramisu, and Greek to Me but looking for somewhere more casual like a sports bar or something even though we won’t be drinking in the middle of an almost 5 hour drive. Thinking of the minutiae like this is helping to distract me from how sad I am, so thanks for helping.

I admit, I don't like this guy.
He's more my roommate than my friend but we do sometimes do stuff together, like go out to the bars or when it's warm, kayaking or the beach.
But he's a terrible roommate and crap pet owner. Has the sweetest dog he lets take massive shits on our carpet b/c he won't take her out enough & then has to be cajoled to clean them up AND REMINDED to use soap and water, not just paper towels.
He doesn't walk her very often & will sometimes leave her tied up at the "dog friendly" bars we frequent, dipping out to go hunt down or do drugs, forcing other people to care for her.
He's always late on the rent and prefers to do "side gigs" he picks up on Apps or on Craigslist to working a legit, steady job (says he's "too good" to work at a grocery store or McDonald's) so he's always just barely scraping by and you have to practically threaten him with eviction to get his share of the bills out of him.
His favorite thing to do is park it all day long on the couch, smoke enormous amounts of weed, watch YouTube videos on his phone, or sneak into my room to watch that Alien Discovery show on my cable.
I told him to stay outta my room the third or fourth time I caught him doing it & he responded since I "don't believe in aliens I must not believe in God."
I don't even know WTF that means.
We were out at a bar watching the game & after it was over he launches into this long, detailed story about how he had an "intense alien experience" on the side of a mountain when he was out in California and it was a "close encounter" b/c he believes the aliens were making contact with him through special communication lights or sound.
His poor dog was whining to be taken for a walk the whole time he rambled on and on & I couldn't take it anymore & was determined not to take her out for him this time so I said "Lemme guess, you were REALLY HIGH when this happened."
He said "yes" but that "wasn't important" & didn't mean what he experienced wasn't real & I said "Well, honestly, when aren't you really high?" and made remarks that if all he does is get blasted all day long and watch YouTube lizard people videos and Alien documentaries on TV of course he's gonna think he's had "encounters." And that if he doesn't realize this, he's an idiot.
People laughed and he got SO MAD at me.
Really steamed about it when we got home and still keeps talking about how much I embarrassed him and he "thought we were friends, man."
AITA for publicly casting doubt on his cool alien story and calling him an idiot to boot?
I feel bad about the idiot part. I mean, I was mad about the dog and our living situation but I'm usually above name calling.

TLDR: fiance hungout with random women and partied on his work trip struggling with his mental and physical health for many months, never told me about one woman he's now connected to and inappropriately flirts with her through text and probably in person one on one. What do I do? I'm pregnant with our first and we're buying a house.
I'm (26F) 12 weeks pregnant, closing on buying a house with my (27M) fiance, started a new job for better pay for us 3 weeks ago, and my fiance went on a business trip but wasted most of his time going to casino and clubs partying, with a random woman we "knew of from Facebook and through mutuals, but never officially met (until he did while there).
This is our first baby to be together. After 4 and a half years together, we're finalizing home ownership at the end of the month. I felt this was all about us growing together now but the way hes acting lately it's like he wants a snippet of the single life with partying with random people, beautiful women, including one on one time with said other women for dinners and more casino time. His partying behavious has increased for the last several months. He owns his own business, and it's expanded so much while we've been together into making a few million a year, a bigger team, and expanding to another town whoch adds to his pressure and work stress. He has random people from our town and neighboring towns that we "know of" (small territory) on social media for advertising reach, but this one woman he ended up deleting since she annoyingly posted a lot, I'll call her Valene. He went to the city for 3 weeks to pick up products and get one of our dogs neutered, so because of the surgery, he stayed 5 days longer.
He went to the casino/clubs around 5-10 times at least, on weekends and week days, including when the trip was extended for our dog's neutering. During this he caught up with an old friend(23F) I'll call her Lisa that we both know from highschool also an ex of his, no feelings leftover, just platonic but very beautiful woman and into fitness. His time with her, he was letting me know ahead of time when they were going to hang out and got food, most times with another guy friend of his as well. Including over a weekend air bnb rental in the next city but she ended up going home when they got into a dumb drunken fight (from the sounds of it) while also all binge drinking and doing drugs together all night before that weekend.
He saw the younger woman Valene (23F) that he had on facebook but deleted because she posted so much, at a party casino his first night and they recognized eachother, he told me that she was looking and walking with a drink staring at him and accidentally walked into some other person. They didn't have eachother online for a month or 2, but then recently I saw her reacting and commenting on his posts like they know eachother, after he told me he already deleted her the first night he mentioned to me he saw her. Now they're connected online again a couple weeks after his trip. I found that odd, and he never mentioned anything to me about her. He told me he was struggling in pain physically and mentally more so during his trip which is why he was partying. His flight was delayed for 2 days since the airline didn't accept the original kennel our dog was shipped with (too small, they never said anything from here) so he had to buy a new one.
I know it isn't right to snoop in your partners phone, but I wanted to know why they were connected and he didn't mention anything to me, I figured that they ran into eachother one night out again and that was it but they did more like exchanging numbers, texted the next day, went for food and to the casino until 2am again, she texts him like they're long time friends but with some flirting, that I'll get into more detail about.
He told her his flight was moved for an extra couple days, said let's do something, that he'll take her out to eat and tried getting her when he was at a restaurant already, she said "atleast give me 4 hours i look like shit". She has an almost 1 year old from a cheating ex that she left last year so she needed to arrange a babysitter ahead of time as well, and asked if he could pay, he responded "never even fucked yet and I'm already paying your babysitter hahahaha. That was a joke though <3" which i feel has crossed a line. She said "your dime my time" "hahaha I can say the same thing" "Okay until midnight?" he said,"2am lets go casino again" "I got one for all night" "trying to sleepover? Hahaha. " "No, I don't want to wake my baby up in the middle of the night you wish." "hahaha actually, I dont, but it was a joke." Then they ended up hanging out, and he picked her up, and I can tell that he dropped her off around 2am by their following texts.
A couple weeks later she was messaging him every day to every few days until just over a week ago, she was saying things like "sup fuck" "hey how's it going you make it back up" "Good morning" "hey" "have you seen my dad up there? He doesn't talk to me anymore. Reinstated daddy issues lol" "What do you mean? " "nvm" she also asked if he has snap, he said he does, but he doesn't use it. She said "well?" "And I'm not going to use it."
She seems to initiate all their convos, they kinda catch up, but since they don't hang out now, it's minimal. But she also messaged. " I have a question for you. You told me you're allowed to have female friends, but you told me you didn't tell your wife about meeting me. Why?" He said "yea so, idk lol" "okay" "you can tell her idc" "that would be the dumbest thing as a woman" and he went off on his rant saying "I meet so many people everywhere I go I don't discuss everything, I hungout with a ton of people when I was there male female it's normal life. Plus, most times, we hung out to party or go eat idk it's no big deal. I did get confused having to pay for your babysitter, haha, but you're a student all good. How come u ask haha" she said "idk" then changed the topic.
There's been more frequency of him having no patience for me, and he gets very upset and angry when i try to talk and communicate my needs in our relationship, but I'm hurt that he can pretend to be all nice with these other random women,, pay for their babysitter, take them for food, party with them in a whole different city. I wanna let him know if his flirting is too much for me (I let him flirt with other women many times while we we're out together but I was there and went home with him). He always defends that attraction to other people is natural, flirting is sometimes good for his business or getting deals etc. If this woman wasn't attractive, he wouldn't even have hung out with her and now be "friends". It's not like they're long time friends she's a random new woman from the bar from a month ago.
How do I bring it up, if at all, with his anger problems? Any advice is welcome. I'm anxious about dealing with this only now that I'm pregnant with him, so confused with my feelings and what to do. Would personal or couples therapy help us through this? I thought of saying, "I noticed her commenting. Did you end up meeting with her?" Or something along the lines to not push him into anger. Or should this be a conversation at all initiated by me?

TLDR: fiance hungout with random women and partied on his work trip struggling with his mental and physical health for many months, never told me about one woman he's now connected to and inappropriately flirts with her through text and probably in person one on one. What do I do? I'm pregnant with our first and we're buying a house.
I'm (26F) 12 weeks pregnant, closing on buying a house with my (27M) fiance, started a new job for better pay for us 3 weeks ago, and my fiance went on a business trip but wasted most of his time going to casino and clubs partying, with a random woman we "knew of from Facebook and through mutuals, but never officially met (until he did while there).
This is our first baby to be together. After 4 and a half years together, we're finalizing home ownership at the end of the month. I felt this was all about us growing together now but the way hes acting lately it's like he wants a snippet of the single life with partying with random people, beautiful women, including one on one time with said other women for dinners and more casino time. His partying behavious has increased for the last several months. He owns his own business, and it's expanded so much while we've been together into making a few million a year, a bigger team, and expanding to another town whoch adds to his pressure and work stress. He has random people from our town and neighboring towns that we "know of" (small territory) on social media for advertising reach, but this one woman he ended up deleting since she annoyingly posted a lot, I'll call her Valene. He went to the city for 3 weeks to pick up products and get one of our dogs neutered, so because of the surgery, he stayed 5 days longer.
He went to the casino/clubs around 5-10 times at least, on weekends and week days, including when the trip was extended for our dog's neutering. During this he caught up with an old friend(23F) I'll call her Lisa that we both know from highschool also an ex of his, no feelings leftover, just platonic but very beautiful woman and into fitness. His time with her, he was letting me know ahead of time when they were going to hang out and got food, most times with another guy friend of his as well. Including over a weekend air bnb rental in the next city but she ended up going home when they got into a dumb drunken fight (from the sounds of it) while also all binge drinking and doing drugs together all night before that weekend.
He saw the younger woman Valene (23F) that he had on facebook but deleted because she posted so much, at a party casino his first night and they recognized eachother, he told me that she was looking and walking with a drink staring at him and accidentally walked into some other person. They didn't have eachother online for a month or 2, but then recently I saw her reacting and commenting on his posts like they know eachother, after he told me he already deleted her the first night he mentioned to me he saw her. Now they're connected online again a couple weeks after his trip. I found that odd, and he never mentioned anything to me about her. He told me he was struggling in pain physically and mentally more so during his trip which is why he was partying. His flight was delayed for 2 days since the airline didn't accept the original kennel our dog was shipped with (too small, they never said anything from here) so he had to buy a new one.
I know it isn't right to snoop in your partners phone, but I wanted to know why they were connected and he didn't mention anything to me, I figured that they ran into eachother one night out again and that was it but they did more like exchanging numbers, texted the next day, went for food and to the casino until 2am again, she texts him like they're long time friends but with some flirting, that I'll get into more detail about.
He told her his flight was moved for an extra couple days, said let's do something, that he'll take her out to eat and tried getting her when he was at a restaurant already, she said "atleast give me 4 hours i look like shit". She has an almost 1 year old from a cheating ex that she left last year so she needed to arrange a babysitter ahead of time as well, and asked if he could pay, he responded "never even fucked yet and I'm already paying your babysitter hahahaha. That was a joke though <3" which i feel has crossed a line. She said "your dime my time" "hahaha I can say the same thing" "Okay until midnight?" he said,"2am lets go casino again" "I got one for all night" "trying to sleepover? Hahaha. " "No, I don't want to wake my baby up in the middle of the night you wish." "hahaha actually, I dont, but it was a joke." Then they ended up hanging out, and he picked her up, and I can tell that he dropped her off around 2am by their following texts.

Hello we will be heading to Parksville in July for a week and I’m looking for recommendations on things to do with our dogs like dog friendly beaches and hikes etc within maybe 1-1.5 hours of there? We will be staying at the Tides inn and we are also wondering if there is a dog park near there that is fenced? Tia
Edit, add: we will have a car 😊

I just got a puppy and I’m wondering about things to do in Windsor this year that are dog friendly. So looking for recommendations on events, businesses, restaurants/bars/patios, or other pet friendly things to do to get her out and about.

Sup guys, gals, and enby pals!
I am looking for friends, though I am not opposed to something more. I understand that sometimes people just don't vibe though, so honestly, take a chance on me and let's try chatting for a bit. If we don't vibe, no hard feelings from me!
I think im supposed to describe myself here, but imma try something different and just put some random facts about me in no particular order cause ngl, I don't really have any hobbies beyond reading and traveling (which is not something I can often do). So yeah, honestly, pretty boring stuff. But anyway, sorry for dragging, here goes:
• I love soup
• I have cats and dogs
• I prefer mountains and forest to beaches. Though I wouldn't refuse an invitation to go to the beach : )
• I love mangoes
• I would like to work in human service, something like a social worker or counsellor or working with the prison population, but that dream is on hold cause I have to drop out from university due to financial problems haha
• I fell from a window once
• I have read 8 books this year so far
• My now close friend first impression of me was "weird, but approachable weird"
Honestly, can't think of anything anymore at the moment, but if you have any questions, just ask!
Also, even though I am not in university anymore, I still would like to learn, so bonus point if we can share resources and motivate each other to learn (my interest lies in sociology, psychology, health behaviours and of course social work). This isn't mandatory though! I also love a fun lighthearted chat and just sending stupid memes.
Please mention "Pickles" when you message me so I know you read everything! This isn't a reference for anything I just had pickled lettuce today lmao
Cheers
PS: Im on mobile, hopefully my formatting is decent but my apologies if it isn't

Get this as a daily email!

I live for up-cycling and diy projects. I prefer to make things that are useful in some way for a practical purpose. I do enjoy creating visually appealing pieces or odd conversation pieces on occasion, as well. I’ve been quite busy with other things this year and haven’t done much with the several collections in my crafty closet. Now that I have some time, I’d love some help with ideas, so please let me know what unique/creative projects I could start working on with these items! (Possible TW for animal bones..)
•Nicotine pouch cans:
I’ve collected around 500 cans, possibly more. I originally planned on making a table top with resin for a friends locally owned tobacco shop. The project would’ve taken far fewer cans than I have now. The shop has since changed a bit, and the friend has taken on new business ventures. Ultimately, I could still make the table top and still have enough cans to make an additional piece. I’ve considered making smaller end tables but can’t seem to come up with “better” ideas for them than tables at the moment.
•Grandma’s key collection:
My grandmother gifted me several (approx 45-55) old useless keys from previous houses, cars, locks, etc. She specifically gifted them so they could “be put to some sort of use” like crafting projects. I don’t exactly have endless resources to manipulate metal- BUT I do have common tools like pliers, sander, Dremel, and a heat gun. Ideas my friends and I have discussed include trinket wind chime, key jewelry(heat and bend to make rings potentially), key holder made of keys, random sculpture, and steam punk vibe or old country/rustic resin piece with other old metal items in resin for the family owned barestaurant.
•Bottle caps:
Pretty straight forward, beer and soda bottle caps. Maybe 100 but I can’t be sure, I keep finding more containers stashed in the closet. I’ve seen several ideas for these but still wonder if there’s something especially cool I could do with them. I don’t want to miss out on an opportunity to make a really awesome piece.
•Animal bones:
I know this one is a bit weird. There are hunters that live near by, and I’m close to a lot of farm land. Farmers and hunters in my area own the land where I take nature walks with my dogs and daughter. We don’t go out where there are any potential dangers but the fields and paths we usually walk through have a lot of local wildlife like deer, foxes, opossums, raccoons, birds, and so on. I’ve come across bones several times and started collecting them at some point. Unsure what started that, other than possibly making something especially interesting and using them at the time to teach kiddo about anatomy. I thought about carving pieces, painting a deer skull, and some Wiccan/fae, gothic or indigenous tribe inspired pieces. I don’t want to be disrespectful at all so if that’s something I should stray away from it is completely understandable.
Any ideas for any projects are greatly appreciated!!

I’m celebrating a birthday this weekend and would love to enjoy this upcoming sunny weather with family, good food and a nice view of the beach. Preferably lunch time and kid friendly. Nothing too crazy expensive and with easy parking. 😂 I hope that’s not too much to ask. Thanks!!

This is kind of long I’ll try and keep it short but desperate for help. I have been married 20 years. We have three kids together 24, 20 and 18. My husband is and always has been an amazing father there are no complaints there. He also is a wonderful provider. Anyways, my issue with him is I don’t trust him and I don’t know what to do I’m scared to throw it all away but my biggest thing in a marriage is trust and if it’s not there I don’t know what more to do. So now that are kids are older he goes out more with his guy friends. I absolutely can’t stand these guys they are all married as well accept for one whose divorced. I’m more I’d prefer to hang home I work all day with kids so usually I’m fine with him going out with the guys as there huge sports fans. But he goes away frequently with them to Myrtle Beach as one of the guys whose divorced owns a place there. I happened to have found a bar they went to there one night as we have the life 360 app and that bar had live cams I didn’t see my husband do anything but I saw to guys he was with who are both married as well all over these other woman it was disgusting and tells you what kind of men my husband hangs out with. Here in our town they all go to this one particular bar it’s a sports bar I caught my husband one time when I was with him having dinner there snapping a photo of the waitresses boobs ( she was showing a lot of cleavage) and send it to his friends and I called him out for it I was pissed. Don’t get me wrong i get it guys look but when your with your wife at dinner have some respect for me. So a year ago this month he went away on a work conference he went with his whole team. He went for a week. It was weird cause he always would text/call when away but I did not here from him the whole time but it was whatever didn’t think much. When he got home he fell asleep I went through his phone and I saw a bunch of texts from the guys he was with saying just how they were the life of the party and this girl and that girl was hot and then I found a text to a girl that invited her back to his room. She declined. I lost my cool and I left for a few days. I basically after that lost all my trust. He was crying saying sorry when he drinks he makes “poor choices” well that doesn’t make me feel good. But nothing has changed he still goes out he drinks now I noticed if I check his phone he deletes some texts he has with the other guys in friend group and he even told his friend group I check his phone so now they make fun of me and it’s not funny. So here we are now and it’s March and he leaves again for another conference I’m freaking out and don’t trust him. I definitely need therapy as I’m very insecure with myself. Our sex life is horrible he is over the top wanting sex all the time begs me to have a three some wants to watch me with other guys is his fantasy and I’m def not comfortable with that. He always says he needs crazy in his life and I’m total opposite I love sex obviously don’t have it much we work fulltime when we do it’s mostly weekends and it’s great. Anyways, I think we both need therapy I’m ready to run away I know he knows but he doesn’t ever make me secure and feel better I want him to put his arms around me and tell me he loves me and he would never cheat. I just feel he’s acting too much like a teenager. Anyways sorry it’s so long I just needed to get it off my chest.

Hi all! My fiancé and I will be staying around the Harrisonburg area in mid April and we are from out of state. What are some good places to grab good food and drinks? We will also have our two dogs with us as well!

Hi Apollo and Athena here. We went to da beach!!!!!! Athena walked in da waters I chased the waves. Water was friendly kept waving at me!
Den we did a dog park every morning because Athena won’t go potty on a leash.
We went into hooman restaurants and once I had to go to da car cause a pesky German Shepard started poop with me. Many good smells and tastes though.
We stayed in a room with other dogs looking at me. I boofed and they boofed. (Mirrors) I’m scared of them windows to other dimenshuns!
Den we came home. Mommy hooman broke her foot. I finally started bringing the ball back to her bc she can’t run around with me.
Good times great sniffs!

So I'll start by saying I live in a small town in the UK, It is very dog friendly, you can take your dog into about 85% of the shops and restaurants here and dogs are off leash a lot even through the town. So no this is not americ where is it only acceptable to have them off leash in a designated space. There is only one outdoor place they ask you to have your dog on a leash which I would always abide by.
Now I have lived here for four years and my routines have not changed but I was walking along my regular route, my dog is off leash and just nosing about this path, and another guy comes down the path with his dog, quite far away so I could not see he had a nervous jacket on. Fair enough. But then the guy started screaming at me to get my dog, so I called him back and he came back as he is well trained. The guy started having a go at me, because apparently my dog could have been attacked. My response was well maybe you shouldn't walk him on an enclosed path if he's like that? There was a road that runs parallel to this path, with the same end destination.
Surely if your dog is that reactive anyway you shouldn't walk them where they will be in close quarters, it clearly stressed the dog out which I get isn't nice but why put him in that situation in the first place when there's another option, I seen 4/5 other dogs on the same path that day so this dog is just gonna be freaking about the entirety of its walk.
Wasn't entirely sure which sub to put this is so call me an asshole if you like or just know i needed to vent cause that's frustrating as hell.
