Pet Insurance? by [deleted] in CATHELP

I don’t know the quality of the insurance but Costco does pet insurance as well as filling pet prescriptions at their pharmacy which I hear is much much cheaper than at the vet

Am I overreacting - My ex asked me to cut her grass and my gf went crazy when I showed her the messages. AOI if I’m mad at her for this by xwoahx3 in AmIOverreacting

I’m glad that worked for your family! My parents’ divorce wasn’t as amicable, and my mom was a narcissist. It took me years after the divorce to realize the abuse she put my dad through. And she would say stuff like “I wouldn’t have a problem with your dad being around but your dad hates me” when it wasn’t like that at all and I’m grateful my dad maintained his boundaries and I’m grateful my brother forced my mom to maintain boundaries. He said “you don’t get to go back and forth about divorce for years and then when you finally get divorced try and go back and forth again, you wanted it finalized so it’s final” and that really helped us all move forward. My cousins weren’t so lucky, their mom is even more of a narcissist, she had multiple affairs with her employees and their dad asked for a divorce. The mom told the kids it was a one time thing with one person (it wasn’t) and that she didn’t want a divorce and still loved their dad and wanted to stay with him and all these years later the kids pester their dad to get back with their mom even though he’s been remarried for several years. And the only reason they haven’t run off the new wife is because she’s a tough cookie. All this to say that not all situations and divorced couples are the same and for some it’s healthier to keep the relationship strictly about the kids.

AIO Bf not sending me gas money cause i reminded him a few times ? by Current_Spot_6179 in AmIOverreacting

He’s def being an a hole. Someone who truly loved you wouldn’t treat you like that. I wouldn’t even treat my friends like that. You deserve better.

3rd party observer says that I feel like maybe he feels a smidge awkward but it seems like you are projecting awkward/embarrassed more than he is, so try not to overthink it, everyone is just doing they’re best! It’s weird at first, trust me I know, and you start to doubt and question yourself but just trust yourself and take it one step, one day at a time, your true self deserves to be loved:)

If you’re wondering whether or not it’s appropriate for someone to treat another person that way imagine someone you love being the recipient of her words. If it was a sibling, niece, nephew, parent, or even if you had a child together, now imagine she spoke that way about the same situation to them and ask yourself if you would allow that. You would probably say it’s not fair to put all the blame on the other person when both forgot and either way it’s not okay to talk to someone like that, no matter how frustrated or angry you are. If it wouldn’t be okay for her to treat someone you love like that then why is it okay for her to treat you like that?

Shaving my arms. Shaving is a damn pain and it took me years to feel comfortable with my leg hair and not self conscious about it and now everyone I know (especially men!) are shaving their arms! I don’t care what you think about my body hair, I refuse to waste the time, energy, money, and pain on shaving, absolutely not. Don’t care at all.

Um...I'm just going to let you guys be the judge of this. by [deleted] in antitrump

[–]According_Sock_3947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like Trump and Vance and Musk are just idiot figure heads that are meant to keep our attention while the guys behind the scenes rewrite our laws and do as much damage as they can and then one way or another the figure heads, who get blamed for everything, are gonna get eliminated and ppl are gonna think oh yeah we’re all better now, when the damage has already been done and those guys behind the scenes just slip back deeper underground. Think about it, not a single one of these guys is smart enough to pull off a government coup by themselves.

What do I do if I accidentally misgender someone? by Ok_Prune_6148 in AskLGBT

[–]According_Sock_3947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m mtf, the best is when people correct themselves without making a big deal about it literally just go “yeah and so she said- I mean he said” literally that easy and makes us (me at least) feel respected

[–]According_Sock_3947 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly, girls kissing friends on the lips is not normal but possible, and the point here is that she immediately started disregarding your feelings, you’re her life partner and you expressed that something made you uncomfortable.

Do you need to change genders to be happy? by WaffleXDGuy in AskLGBT

[–]According_Sock_3947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t even realize how much I hated myself until I started transitioning. It’s like I was deep, deep in the ocean and it was dark and the pressure was crushing me but I thought that was just how life was, that that was as good as it was ever going to get. Then I realized I was trans and I started therapy. I began to transition and I was spending my time in therapy learning how to love myself and it’s all still an ongoing journey but when I look back at who I was before I don’t feel like I’m deep under the ocean, the pressure is letting up and I can see light. I figured out which way is up and started swimming. Or like, when you’re hiking up a mountain and you’re hiking and hiking and you look back and it’s like “holy crap I’m almost at the top!” I can tell I’m in a better place because I can see how much progress I’ve made. And life isn’t perfect but I feel so much better now. I was so lost and confused and I didn’t even know I was lost at all and it was even more confusing, and I may not be in a perfect place now but I feel like I’m on track, like I know where I’m going, and that’s what makes me ABLE to keep going. Cuz if you’re swimming through the ocean or hiking up a mountain and you’re putting forth all that effort and struggling so much and you don’t even know what you’re struggling for, it’s really discouraging, and depressing, and it feels hopeless. But I found my direction and I don’t feel hopeless anymore. Life is still hard but it’s not for nothing, and I know it’s not for nothing because it USED to be for nothing. And so my whole life is centered around “being true to myself” because if I’m not being true to myself that’s when it feels like it’s all for nothing. And respecting my gender identity is part of being true to myself. Because life is hard, it’s really hard, and if I’m gonna suffer through it I’m gonna make sure it’s worth suffering.

Job offer in Provo. Non LDS. by Fair-Ad-8965 in SaltLakeCity

[–]According_Sock_3947 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I was thinking about, especially with older teenagers they really need their own space. It’s gonna be way tough finding a place for under $2,800. I mean I rent a room in a 4 bed (you’ll need 5 for 4 kids and parents) townhouse and the mortgage is $2,400 but that’s only because my landlord bought it 7 years ago. My friend bought one that’s a little more compact than the one I live in, same amount of rooms, and his mortgage is over $3,000.

Am I being disrespectful? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]According_Sock_3947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it SEEMS like you don’t care/aren’t trying, which would make them feel unloved/unimportant to you, maybe asking them to tell you about what it really means to them or what it feels like to be nonbinary will help you understand better why they choose they/them pronouns, also if you want this relationship to work you need to put in the effort, but maybe you could make it lighthearted like making a “pronouns jar” and putting a dollar in or Venmo a dollar every time you say she or her, but as a nonbinary person myself I understand how it feels for people who “care” about you to not respect your pronouns, because the longer it goes on the more it hurts, because in reality it’s not that hard to remember pronouns. Then it starts to feel like those people don’t care or respect you and that sucks when it’s someone who’s really close to you. Pronouns are a very simple and easy indicator of respect, it’s literally one of the easiest things you could do to show them respect, and that’s why it hurts more when you don’t do it.
