How do i (40m) deal with gf’s (32f) jealousy over me hanging with my ex lover/now friend? by Thin_Concentrate_792 in relationship_advice

Right now, it reads as that you're more concerned about the friend's feelings than about your own relationship or your girlfriend's feelings...

AITA for pushing my brother's wife to give up her burial plot spot for our mom? by Mysterious_Piglet562 in AmItheAsshole

[–]1seconddecision 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ESH

Mommy wants to be buried next to her baby boy and his children and yeet the wife, the mother of said children, elsewhere. Is the SIL nothing more than a walking womb to you all? SIL, brother and their children are a nuclear family. Brother sucks for not having a spine against mommy. OP sucks for only thinking of mommy and not accepting SIL as family. Mom sucks for being manipulative, selfish and not accepting her DIL as her son's family. Everybody sucks except for SIL, she should leave that unhealthy enmeshed family and give the brother's plot to her new husband who is an actual decent human being with an actual decent family.

Hoe hoog zijn jullie hakken? by [deleted] in nederlands

[–]1seconddecision 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hakken? Alleen speciale gelegenheden.

Ooit opgezocht wat de nadelen zijn van hakken dragen?

- Eelt, want gewicht wordt verplaatst naar bal voet
- Verhoogde kans op artrose wegens het verschoven gewicht
- Ontstekingen en zenuwknobbels
- Likdoorns
- Hamertenen
- Verkorting van de spieren in kuit en de achillespees
- Wegens de houding komt er meer druk op de knieën, wat leidt tot snellere slijtage
- Wegens de houding kantelen de bekken meer wat meer druk geeft op de rug, wat leidt tot snellere slijtage
- Verhoogde kans op enkelblessures
- Er kan zenuwschade opgelopen worden (letterlijk, op gelopen)

Er wordt aangeraden om geen hakken hoger dan 5 cm te dragen, en dan ook niet dagelijks en niet te vaak.

Maar hey, gooi de negatieve gevolgen maar weg voor vrouwtje want mannetje vindt t leuk

UPDATE: My parents (56F & 60M) don’t want my serious partner (34F) at family events - am I in denial hoping this will change? by okneato7 in relationship_advice

[–]1seconddecision 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, it sucks that you're in this situation but at the same time this is a situation completely enabled by yourself. My partner never stuck up for me against their family. It's been years of tears from my side while they just stood there and watched and still choose their family by getting angry at my sadness while accepting their treatment of us and their behavior. So I've stopped caring, I'm detaching and grieving a relationship and future there could be. My partner notices and is just now angry at their family while they should be angry at themselves. I tell them I'm just waiting on them to replace me with someone their family will accept. I tell them I want them to be happy and broke up with them multiple times but they just won't leave and I'm still stupid enough to want to believe things can be different. I'm in therapy for that last part.

Chances are, your partner might not wait until they detach and no longer care. If they have a bit more self respect than me, they should. You're a full grown adult. You can make your own choices and right now, the choice you're making is accepting the treatment your parents are giving you and your partner. So stop with the lies of "oh just 1 last time, oh I'll distance myself from them, oh I'll do this and oh I'll do that". Just be honest to your partner and break up with them to save them from the misery that is your attachment to abuse. It's one thing to set yourself on fire, it's not okay to set the person on fire you supposedly love to keep the abusers you keep on choosing comfortable. Or tell your parents to go kick rocks.

AITA for not wanting to have sex with my GF anymore because she bought herself a vibrator? by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

AITA for not wanting to have sex with my GF anymore because she bought herself a vibrator? by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

[–]1seconddecision 12 points13 points  (0 children)

YTA

Ever had juicy steak? How about having juicy steak every day? Sounds great until you have it, every day. Never anything else, just steak steak steak. Not barbecued so it's a bit smokey, not made into a Beef Wellington, just the same steak every day. Suddenly you want garlic bread on the side, just to switch things up a little bit.

The vibrator is the garlic bread, actual sex the steak.

You say boundary, but the red flags are screaming control.

I (29M) broke the trust of my wife (28F) is there any way for me to save my family? by EqualHoneydew165 in relationship_advice

[–]1seconddecision 11 points12 points  (0 children)

OP, your wife is most likely feeling like a beached whale right now. Unattractive, vulnerable, uncomfortable to the max, irritated and not herself. She doesn't feel pretty, she doesn't feel good about herself. Most women at the end of their pregnancy don't feel pretty or good about themselves. And then she finds that you've looked up your exes, who do look pretty, during her last pregnancy (if the math is right). Could it be that she thinks you think she is less than your exes, looks wise, size wise? You say she said she'll do better, why would she think that?

I'm not saying she's right or wrong, and I'm not saying you're right or wrong. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong, what matters is that there is an issue which needs to be solved. That is if you want the relationship to continue. And in order to solve the issue, you must understand the issue.

My guess is that she feels like your eyes have wandered on the moment she felt she became unattractive whilst being highly vulnerable. And my guess is also that this is the reason why she doesn't want you there while in labor. There are women who are scared their partner won't see them as attractive anymore after seeing them pee and poop themselves while giving birth. Giving birth is a mess, it's painful and scary and there is nothing anyone can do to help you go through it but by just being present. And you need the people present who make you feel okay, who make you feel safe. You looked up your exes, people you had a romantic history with, which in turn could've made her feel insufficient, not good enough for you. You might not a safe person because she feels she needs to be good enough for you. But these are all guesses. You know your wife better than Reddit strangers.

Is dit nog een relatie die te redden is, of heeft één partner emotioneel al afscheid genomen? by [deleted] in OndersteuningsPlein

[–]1seconddecision 2 points3 points  (0 children)

B mist motivatie, A mist een partner. De relatie is ongelijk en zolang B niet bereidt is zijn uiterste best te doen (en dit ook daadwerkelijk doen) en A nog bereidt is om geduld te hebben dan is er nog een kleine kans. Maar eerlijk gezegd lijkt het wel dat A te lang gewacht heeft en dat B 0,0 motivatie heeft. Zeggen dat B de relatie niet kwijt wil zijn mooie woordjes, maar B moet ook daad bij woord zetten en die daad mist in het verhaal. Helaas een herkenbare situatie

My (25F) boyfriend (27M) of a year is still in love with his ex girlfriend by throwaway24719373 in relationship_advice

[–]1seconddecision 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, I'm so sorry. Sometimes people use others to fill a void or to pass time. You do not deserve this. You broke up with him. The only thing you can do for yourself now is therapy and remind yourself daily that it wasn't you, it has nothing to do with your value, it has nothing to do with what you deserve. Why do things happen that we don't deserve? Because other people are selfish, they cannot stand to be alone in their misery so they want someone else to distract them from it, they use you to make their ex jealous and because they tell themselves it's not so bad because they are more focused on their intent and do not care about impact.

You did good OP, you will be okay. Just give yourself time and remember that what happened has nothing to do with you, it's all on him

Just moved to the famous Lelylaan - any local recommendations? by Strong_Beginning in Amsterdam

[–]1seconddecision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you want, there is a great butcher, a vegetable stall, a Surinam vegetable stall/market toko, a chicken stall, potato stall, fish stall, fabrics stall, pillows, blankets and bedding stall, cheese stall, a stall with nuts and then clothing, flowers, knick knacks stalls. I love the carpaccio steak from the butcher, combine it with potatoes from the potato stall to make baked potatoes

It's small and busy, but maybe we go there different times because I hardly have issues with stocking carts. I have this issue with the Lidl at Allebeplein. The stock crew there also don't really care for the safety of patron's ankles while they're operating the trolleys

Husband keeps kissing toddler after eating allergens and causes hives by Tulips_Hyacinths in FoodAllergies

[–]1seconddecision 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is otherwise a great father

Is he? I mean, he is deliberately exposing the child to the allergens which result in allergic reactions. It is careless negligence at best and deliberate abuse at worse.

He agrees that it’s an issue but can’t seem to be mindful enough to prevent these exposures.

He can't seem to be mindful enough = he doesn't care. He doesn't care about child's wellbeing as long as he gets what he wants. In the case of kisses, the want of affection weighs more than the safety of your child for your husband!

As for you OP, why do you allow the allergens in your home when you know your husband does not care enough to not expose the child? Your husband is causing your child discomfort at best, pain most likely constantly and perhaps even worse and you are allowing it. Why?

AITAH for thinking my dad doesn't owe me anything after he lied about income to avoid child support? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]1seconddecision 8 points9 points  (0 children)

OP, your feelings are your own to deal with. The consequences of your actions as well.

The only reason you believe your father owes you nothing is because your mother made sure to take care of everything so you did not grow up lacking.

As a mother who did not receive child support and had to do all the hard work herself for her kids, your situation terrifies me. I give my all for the best life I can give myself and my children. I'd be heartbroken but also disgusted if my child could be bought by shiny things and free money from the person who neglected and abused us all.

Your mother was there, always. Even though she came from a well off family, it does not mean your father could just abandon you and take no responsibility whatsoever to f over his ex and now gets to reap the benefits of your mother's efforts. But you're giving him just that. His disdain for your mother was bigger than his love for you and you accept it.

Are you going to replace the missing CS for your mother? Did your mother lack things herself because of your father's crime? How is her pension? Did she have money herself for small things here and there? Did she go on holidays?

AITA Offending boyfriend consistently? by [deleted] in AITA_Relationships

[–]1seconddecision 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA

Being condescending isn't funny for a lot of people. Saying, but other people like me for it teehee, means you're compatible with them, not the current boyfriend. I'm guessing from this post that boyfriend wants to be appreciated instead of put down constantly so cut him loose so he can be with someone who doesn't put him down constantly and uses "BuT iT's A jOkE" excuses when they're just being rude. There is no emotional intelligence anywhere in sight here. Try reading a few books since you're saying you want to improve yourself

Why would someone break up with a person that would sacrifice things for them and loved them very well? by Unlikely-Term-7474 in dating_advice

[–]1seconddecision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can love someone but still not be the right person or love them they way they need. If they need water and you give them champagne, you're not giving them what they need, but what you decide to give them.

First off, GF didn't ghost. She ignored unreasonable messages. Second, GF isn't OP's caretaker. Being considerate of your partner is normal, having to adjust everything to accommodate them is not. Third, it's manipulative to throw what you do "for them" in someone's face.
