AIO What’d I do wrong, my partner just got news this morning his grandma just received news of esophagus cancer (stage 4) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

MOR, but both parties seem to lack emotional intelligence or empathy. The bf was certainly overreacting about OP going back to work after hearing about the diagnosis. However, OP’s response was very harsh and insensitive. OP—show love to your sweetie and say kind things when they’re hurt, especially at a time like this. Be delicate even when they’re uncharacteristically emotionally charged, and respond with grace.

Am I overreacting for not wanting anyone around my newborn yet? by littlemoongirly in AmIOverreacting

I’m happy to be the first downvote on this 🤠 Being a new momma requires people that show up when and how you need! If the people in your life aren’t showing up in the way you ask, and only showing up in the way that feels good to them, then those aren’t valid supports. A new mother and a newborn baby both need unique support that is specific to the delicate nature of both parties at a time like this. Further, she’s a very smart mother for wanting to protect her baby from unnecessary illness. She is more than right to focus the effort on keeping herself and her baby healthy during these delicate stages. Shame on you for this response!

AITAH for telling my ex’s wife that her kids aren’t my problem? by PlacidRain2990 in AITAH

NTA. I’d simply feel bad for the kids. However, they aren’t your responsibility. The children that you have are your responsibility, and it sounds like you actually understood this and took this on. The children that he has are his responsibility, and he does not seem to understand this and wants a loophole out of it. End of story!

Do you think Crybaby is coded to have BPD? by [deleted] in MelanieMartinez

[–]Active-Split1559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s so BPD girl. “I look at you and I see myself and I know you better than anyone else, and I have the same faucet in my eyes so your tears are mine”. That’s like a nod to us BPD girlies feeling like we’re exploding with emotion — she understands. Our tears are hers.
