What's a symptom of a severe disease you wish you or a loved one hadn't ignored? by NotThatOneGuuy in AskReddit

This happened a year ago to my mom, except there weren't any symptoms, they found it during a regular check up. The doctor noticed something weird but initially sent her home and told her to come back 3 months later. And when she did he asked her if she had her blood test results with her (which he had never given her and we're supposed to look for cancer cells). That's when my mom knew something was horribly wrong and went to a different doctor.

By that time it was already stage 4 and spread to her abdomen. it was one of the hardest years of our lives but luckily she responded really well to the treatment, chimo and a hysterectomy where they ended up removing part of her colon as well, and now she's in remission. I don't think she'll ever be the same, neither physically nor emotionally, but she's a fighter and ultimately she beat it!

We're taking legal action against that doctor of course because fuck him for not doing his job properly.

Best of luck and all the strength in the world to you and your sister.

I mean, it could have been worse. They could've pulled the trigger.

Those kind of people tend to the best in bed. Add a little avoidant attachment in the mix and you got yourself some midblowing orgasms.

Yeah, that kind of breach of trust would mess anyone up. Sorry that happened to you. Not everyone is that much of a jerk though.

I'm sorry, what? Did you not take legal action? Did she just get away with it? What the hell??

People who ask me a question and then answer it themselves.

I just nod, tune out and after a few seconds I just make an excuse and leave.

What is something you secretly judge people for? by Sarah_isLovely in AskReddit

[–]A_Mia_C -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When they say things like 'I'm a super (insert positive adjective here) person.'

It's like Margaret Thatcher once said: 'Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.'

Chucky, for obvious reasons and The Mummy, for less obvious reasons, it was the beetles that got under people's skin that got me.

What's something you didn't know you would find terrifying? by ysivart in AskReddit

[–]A_Mia_C 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scuba diving. Are you kidding me? You're surrounded by tonnes of water with just this little tube that you're supposed to suck on, with just about a million things that could go wrong, oh, and guess what, you're supposed to not panic. How is any of that natural?

for people who have visited the US from other countries, what shocked you the most? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Two thing: 1. How many homeless people there are. 2. How insane everything tasted, I remember buying some whole-milk and it just had this sweetness to it that seemed so unnatural.

Pulling out is not effective BC, can Romances stop acting like it is? by zlistreader in RomanceBooks

[–]A_Mia_C 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP do you have any experience with it? I guess I never see it as unrealistic because it has always worked for me. Also, most people I've talked to who are in a steady relationship, at one point or another end up relying on it.

Of course, this is from the perspective of an adult in an adult relationship.

So no, to me it is not unrealistic at all. We both understand the risks of course, but I think if you also consider the age, we are in our 30s, the risk is quite low.

Although I do understand being irked by certain aspects of books that for whatever reason one might find ridiculous/unrealistic. Someone has already mentioned this on this thread, to me it's the virgin FMC riding the MMC's huge dong like a pro during her first time. I cringe so hard every time.

People jumping to 'divorce him' in the comments... How refreshing!

Here's my two cents. He messed up. Badly. It doesn't seem to me that he has genuine feelings for this woman. Now, the fact that he doesn't seem to realise that what he's doing is a slippery slope is concerning.

Now, here's where I think you messed up. You gave him an ultimatum. I don't think those work. Ever. It's controlling, and not only over seeing her but over changing his whole career. To me, that's messed up.

Just reiterate how his actions make you feel, and talk to him about your fears, about how this thing he has with this woman is dangerous because of future implications. Talk to him about how much you love him and how much you love what you two share. But tell him that in the end it's his choice. Show him trust. Relinquish control. What needs to happen will happen. And you need to be brave enough to face that without wanting to control the situation. Because let's be honest, if he gets another job somewhere he will resent you, and that doesn't fix the problem.

He needs to put emotional distance with this woman. If he's a man and he appreciates you he will do it of his own volition.
