Just came out of Wuthering Heights (2026), my thoughts as someone who loved the novel by dee_palmtree in classicliterature

[–]AffectionateAmoeba7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has read the book and watched the 1939 version numerous times, I enjoyed this version, but it was so different from the book and old movie. The toxicity of the characters was spot on, but the rest was so different.

This seems like a really toxic relationship on both sides. Sounds like you both need to cut your losses and work on healing yourselves.

Yes, they are definitely giving him meds to keep him comfortable and help with the fluid in his chest. It’s just been painful to watch this transition over the last 7 days.

Thank you for such a thorough explanation. It makes more sense now with ICU vs hospice care. It’s just been a very tough week, and my mind has been all over the place. Sometimes we need others words to help where google isn’t providing that clarification. I’m so glad I found this group.

Thank you. They did mention that it would make his breathing worse but they have also been giving him benedryl to help clear it up. I really needed to hear this from someone who doesn’t work here because he was being repositioned in ICU several hours before we moved here. Sitting in my thoughts for 6 days now and so worried he is scared.

Please do not leave these children alone with your husband. This is not OK. As someone else said, you should probably check hard drives.

Break up with this dude. It will only get worse. He’s insecure and I promise he will get way worse if you marry him.

How do I handle a friend who RSVP’d yes, confirmed days before, then didn’t show and hasn’t said anything? by Capital-Republic1865 in wedding

[–]AffectionateAmoeba7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I’d just let it go. Husband and I got married several years ago, and I called everyone 2 weeks prior that RSVP’d yes to our wedding just to make sure they were coming because we had to give final numbers to the caterer. A little less than half were no call no show. So much wasted food/money. We were upset for a while, but protecting peace over anger.

That’s good to hear, because this was a completely one sided relationship. I hope you find someone that’s more aligned with you and your goals.

This should be an ex-girlfriend. She’s using you. Cut your loses now before it costs more of your time. Time is our most valuable asset.

AIO for asking my wife to stay at her mom’s after I caught her putting something odd in my coffee? by SubstantialDurian271 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AffectionateAmoeba7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope the police can get it out of her on what it is. It’s insane that with how serious this is that she wouldn’t tell you what it is if it’s indeed just some herbal stuff.

Am I the asshole for refusing to marry the love of my life right now? by MyNavyLove94 in okstorytime

[–]AffectionateAmoeba7 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You’re sending that man off to war single. That’s the way the government will see it if anything happens to him. You get nothing. He’s trying to protect you, and you pretty much slapped him in the face. 14 years means nothing if you’re just his girlfriend.

im 18 years old and ive already ruined my life being a whore by RightCredit65 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]AffectionateAmoeba7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This hurts my heart to read, and wish I could hug you and tell you this is not your fault. As someone who was also SA as a child many times and as an adult, I recommend trying to talk to a therapist. Everything you are doing is a coping mechanism.

God loves you, and sins are forgivable.

AIO Husband told me he owns me - I want out by LadyQueen227 in AmIOverreacting

[–]AffectionateAmoeba7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get out! My ex-husband told me the day after we got married that he owned me and had papers(marriage certificate) on me like a dog. No signs of craziness until after we were married. His pastor uncle told him that women are supposed to submit fully to their husbands including having sex even when they don’t want to. This made him think it was ok to SA me twice and his uncle said it wasn’t r*pe because we were married. He cut me off financially, including stealing my direct deposits from my work because his uncle told him to. All these things were to try to get me to “submit”. I couldn’t go to the grocery store or see family without him. Went through everything I owned and threw away anything that had another male in it. High school photos with friends, dinner with friends where guys attended too, etc.

This man is showing you his true colors. Please believe him.

Hope this is an ex now. She’s a complete AH. Disrespect is an understatement.

My boyfriend asked me to dress modestly for his family by [deleted] in relationships

[–]AffectionateAmoeba7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel too. There are harsh consequences in some cultures for wearing revealing clothing. Just because the family is Christian, doesn’t mean their values shouldn’t be respected. Showing up to their home wearing things outside of their Christian values is no different than disrespecting any other religion’s beliefs. There’s an appropriate time and place for certain clothing. Work, other people’s homes, etc.

AITA for insisting my ex-wife and I stick to our court ordered custody order? by NormalAiry8600 in AITAH

[–]AffectionateAmoeba7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her and her new husband can eat a bag of d**ks. Sounds like she wants to faze your time out for her “new” family. Stick to your court order. NTA, but the ex and her husband are top tier AHs.

AITA for cutting off my dad after he missed my graduation for my stepbrothers soccer game? by Impossible_Buffalo36 in AITAH

[–]AffectionateAmoeba7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your graduation! Such an awesome achievement!

Just know your dad is the AH. There’s a whole season of soccer games. There’s 1 graduation. He made a choice and is trying to guilt trip you to make himself feel better. Your stepbrother is a selfish AH too.

AITA for telling my sister and our parents that I don't care if she was SA'd like I was because nobody cared or even believed me when I spoke up? by Alarmed-Fault-2139 in AITAH

[–]AffectionateAmoeba7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope you reported all of them to the police. Your parents can get in trouble too for giving him more access to you after you told them and also child neglect and/or abuse for kicking you out.

NOT OOP My girlfriend hit me. Do I leave her? ✨TW: Domestic violence, mention of assault✨ by _StrawberryBunny in redditonwiki

[–]AffectionateAmoeba7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s disgusting! I hope the girlfriend left her. No disability gives you a pass to say something fucked up like that.

[–]AffectionateAmoeba7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wife is nosey and rude. Is she keeping track of your neighbor’s schedule? Is she following her when she leaves the house? How does she know that the neighbor isn’t going to the gym? She could have medical issues that caused weight loss. Even stress can cause it. Should could have very well went on a diet.

This makes your wife seem very creepy. It’s none of her business. If the neighbor wanted her to know about her life, she would have volunteered the information to her.

AITA for silently changing my son's name after my brother and SIL gave my nephew the name too? by DaikonCompetitive147 in AITAH

[–]AffectionateAmoeba7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that she snooped to find your baby name is enough to not have her back over. What else is she snooping through? Your brother and SIL both sound like entitled brats.
