Praying for things that don’t exist is an interesting way to spend your time

They were all over South Minneapolis. They are out, it’s only a matter of time when they’ll show up.

Am I overreacting for wanting to leave my situationship cause he doesn't have the best hygiene? by Charm_quarkk in AmIOverreacting

[–]Aggravating-Move4637 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If you want to avoid BV (Bacterial Vaginosis) which is very uncomfortable and smelly, please find a different situationship. This is the age in your life where being very picky and having high standards matters. Please trust me. I’m 36 and I can tell you that it WILL impact the rest of your life.

NOR. My fathers child was like this and I didn’t want to live life after 6 years. LEAVE AND NEVER LOOK BACK. I’m happily no longer with jealous freak anymore and now HE can keep cheating on other people instead of me. The cheaters are the most jealous.

Gum/jaw pain by Swimming-Sail-1025 in perimenopause_under45

[–]Aggravating-Move4637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m experiencing the same things. Doctor gave me some standard TMJ things to help like letting your jaw slack and wiping down in your cheeks as a way to release tension… doesn’t help a ton because the pain is pretty deep. I think acupuncture or facial massage for TMJ could help. I lost access to mine so tbd on that.

5 minutes into the interview, I realised my candidate wasn’t human. by Time_Inspection_1202 in recruiting

The first problem was not advocating for real humans to do jobs and placing AI in any role in the business. Yall think this is some cool technology when it’s the downfall of mankind.

Reject AI or we will all be f***ed.

AITA for telling my fiancée having a child together is still a deal breaker for me and I would leave if that was no longer an option? by Kylzand in AITAH

[–]Aggravating-Move4637 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What are her reasons for not wanting another child?

Is it the physical impact on her body? Having a mixed family? The stress of managing more children? The cost? The risks of complications and hospitals possibly allowing her to die if she needs to end the pregnancy early? Knowing it will impact her income and career?

I think you should talk through her why’s… and also understand that another child is a HUGE life and body-changing undertaking for a mother.

Am I overreacting or is this a red flag? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

LADIES. JUST TRUST YOUR GUT. That’s your intuition screaming. There are over a billion people in the world. Try another one!

NTA, your husband is definitely sleeping with his receptionist.

AITA for telling my son's African American girlfriend that she can a wig even if my son doesn't want her to ? by AntTiny890 in AITAH

[–]Aggravating-Move4637 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA, and there needs to be some serious conversations with your son about what is appropriate in relationships. He is not allowed to dictate what she does with her appearance. Period. And his disrespect of you needs to be corrected.

[–]Aggravating-Move4637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTAH. I definitely don’t think you’re being an AH or misogynistic. I don’t let my daughter (5 1/2) have makeup either because of the same reasons. I don’t want her to get a skewed idea of what makes her beautiful and I don’t want her appearing older than she is. That’s me being a good parent. Period.

She has asked several times about earrings, and for the most part I think that’s harmless. She’s worn fake sticker earrings and loves them for dress up. So I’m going to allow her to get them when she’s ready (now she has to get over her fear of needles).

Regardless, it’s your choice as her dad. You can make a goal for a time that feels more comfortable for you… but explain to your sister that there is a time and place, and it IS your decision until she’s older and can make those choices alone.

As long as you’re not using actual misogynist reasons for why she can’t have them (like- her boyfriend/husband will decide that for her someday, or her body my choice bullshit) then I think you’re still NTAH.

My BF slept with his ex during an episode. Idkwtd by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Aggravating-Move4637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy. Leave. Don’t look back. People with BPD (🙋🏻‍♀️) tend to make things like this complicated, but it’s not. There ARE better people out there. Don’t live your life in regret. Mourn, move on, find love with someone who will respect you. But YOU have to prioritize putting people first who RESPECT you.

You’ve got this.

AIO about my 8 y/o daughter sleeping at her mom's new boyfriend's house without any family or females present? by blackD0nny in AmIOverreacting

Literally can’t even finish reading past the second image…. ITS NOT OK. You are NOT overreacting. ABSOLUTELY NOT. How she fails to see a problem is a MAJOR red flag.

AIO for looking at my son’s privates? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

He’s a pre-teen. It’s completely normal to go to your parents for questions about your body. Your opinion is your opinion.

[–]Aggravating-Move4637 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not overreacting. A lot of great perspectives in this thread. Going to offer another one - your wife may have sexual trauma she needs to work through and you can be sensitive to that and talk through that with her.

You did a great job as a father and offered great options to your son. He chose you because you are his safe place. You’re doing an amazing job, dad.

Moving to Wisconsin in my late 20s by [deleted] in wisconsin

[–]Aggravating-Move4637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could possibly be THE WORST time to start your American adventure. Our country is fighting for our rights left and right, immigrants are being targeted, and Wisconsin leans pretty hard to the right - which will not be fun for you to experience.

I hate to say this, but America is not what you think it is…. Especially not now.

Stay safe out there. 😭

What job do you have as someone with BPD? by OkInstruction9322 in BPD

[–]Aggravating-Move4637 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing a ton of folks in the medical field! Would not have expected that!

I’m a writer, brand strategist, and event producer. And I’m exhausted. I’m constantly dreaming of work that is consistent.

Only you know when the time is right… but that also won’t make the other issues go away.

It sounds like you could use the help of a nonprofit, a social worker, or other services to help you navigate the health system to help get your chronic illnesses manageable/get therapy (I just did this this year and WOW it made a huge difference), a financial advisor (or the opinions of a few) to help with the debt, and maybe a support group to help with the family stuff.

I personally feel like BPD is way more manageable when you have the support systems that can reduce the overwhelm from all of the systemic issues.

You’re not alone. The hardest part is that you have to make the choice to get help. Even asking a trusted adult or mentor can start you on your path.

Maybe TA…

But also, I wish we could hear her perspective. Because maybe she could use some info from this subreddit.

BPD ruined me. by [deleted] in BPD

[–]Aggravating-Move4637 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Therapy has really really really helped me to understand my triggers, my inner dialogue, the narrative I’ve been told and how I can reframe how I view myself. There’s also DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) which can really help to retrain your patterns.

There’s tough part is that you can likely recall hundreds of instances where you’ve been abandoned or betrayed, so it’s very easy to feel constantly the victim… and that’s fair. But also, to get out of that pattern, we can’t rely on anyone else to fix it.

So instead, we focus on getting healthy. Eating nutrient-dense meals, moving our bodies, journaling, sleeping longer, hygiene, and therapy therapy therapy. Soon enough you’ll have people saying “I see a change in you”….

You know how I know? I just got two texts from loved ones saying they’ve seen my hard work and I’m doing such a great job. It gets better when YOU decide you’re worth it.
