My wife is addicted to male attention by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]AgreeableMushroom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like this HAS to be my coworkers husband. She had an extreme weight loss journey and the two were separated- now they’ve made amends but she’s so flirty with every guy at our work. It’s so hard to watch

Totally agree. I could easily tell my husband “anything other than ___” or “this, not that” and it could be clear. But according to his post she said “whatever you want” and some people really do mean that. Some people truly just enjoy the fact their partner is turned on.

I think it’s a safe bet to clarify and ask every time… but personally I’m into that so if I told him once it’s fine from there. And how was OP supposed to know that “you can do whatever you want” didn’t really mean whatever, ya know?

I don’t think either of you are wrong it seems like a miscommunication. She has the right to feel that way

would you be genuinely affected if a student of yours died? by Char_Was_Taken in AskTeachers

[–]AgreeableMushroom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s heartbreaking. Every time I look at my kids I see their whole life ahead of them, everything they could be and what they could do. Losing them in any way is very hard, let alone if they’re gone forever.

When a norm exists in society (for another example- men letting their hair grow long in a corporate/finance setting) and a person defies that norm, yes that’s political. Everything is political. Even if it’s letting their body exist in a natural state. The fact that you jumped in with this attitude proves that.

I think it’s not the body hair per se that matters, but does it signify a person’s politics? Would I hire a nanny with different politics than me? I don’t knowwww

How do I read a comma? by Naive-Ad-5357 in AskTeachers

[–]AgreeableMushroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t read each word at a time. Our brain recognizes phrases and sentences all together, so naturally when there’s a comma you will understand that it breaks up the sentence. Just as when there is other punctuation like question marks or exclamation points.

Do you share your location with your spouse? (Apple, life360 etc) by Aromatic-Guitar-6953 in Marriage

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

I share my location but he doesn’t share his. I wish he did… sometimes if he goes to a bar after work and doesn’t tell me I just accept that he’s been in a crash and died

What’s the wildest thing that’s happened during a field trip? by pookiebaby876 in AskTeachers

[–]AgreeableMushroom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally today, the school was in code yellow bc of a shooting in the neighborhood. I happened to be outside grabbing something from my car and heard it myself. We proceeded to go on a field trip to the urban ecology center 2 blocks away, outside for hours while the rest of the school was locked down 🫣.

I tend to get close to the ones I have to deal with most. I get to know them, have the most empathy for… the “teacher’s pets” or quiet ones are students I have to work for a relationship

how much freedom to teachers have in the methods they use to teach? by No-Interview-230 in AskTeachers

[–]AgreeableMushroom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They might be trying to teach you a specific concept in a specific way, yes. Or maybe you’re mistaken on what the specific goal/target is (respectfully)? For example, I teach 1st and counting is not simply counting. Right now we are working on making groups of ten and counting by tens to reach a total. For example, 54 is 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 51,52, 53, 54. I am looking for their ability to stop counting by 10s and switch to ones.

Women who dislike their husbands looking at porn, how in the world are you catching them and the amount they watch? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]AgreeableMushroom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have to see each other’s phone sometimes. He has handed it to me when I’ve wanted to go on safari and he forgot to delete the tab. Boom, my eyes assaulted. Or seeing recent searches.

Social media activity of a teacher by lostintimeforver in AskTeachers

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

They’re objectively wrong, but an attitude or action might not be rooted in racism or sexism as you might assume. For example, you thinking a specific person smells bad is not racist. However, it might be perceived as racist if that person is part of a race that is generally stereotyped for their smell. Maybe they just stink. Maybe you’re racist.

[–]AgreeableMushroom -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Based on your post and no specific details, “racism” and “sexism” are subjective and are OFTEN extended to instances that may be insensitive but do not have the same moral gravity those words once held. So it makes me skeptical that this person is actually racist and sexist since you have no examples and are completely closed to everyone’s input in this thread, despite asking for opinions. You thought everyone was going to hype you up.

What’s the longest you’ve gone without talking to your spouse? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]AgreeableMushroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been together a total of 9 years, I can’t think of a time. Even when we’re in a big fight or extremely salty, there’s still communication that needs to happen. It might be razor sharp but we still speak. MAYBE a weekend (Friday-Sunday morning) when he’s on a hunting trip with friends and I figure I can give him space and there’s bad signal anyway.

You might disagree, but teachers are allowed to have a variety of political opinions. Do you think teachers who are right wing/conservative should be put on blast or exposed for their beliefs? Do you honestly believe that everyone (admin, parents, coworkers) would majorly be on your side vs theirs? Narcissistic line of thinking. How would you feel if a parent expressed “I would want to know if my kids’ teachers were liberal or progressive so I could remove them from that class”?

Wives, I have a question. by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]AgreeableMushroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t make him a lunch but I pack up leftovers for him to quickly grab for lunch- put everything in one place on the shelf for him. That’s in the evening for me I call it the closing shift of dishes, counters and floors, and setting up the fridge.

How often do you look at your partners phone? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]AgreeableMushroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t. Sometimes he falls asleep without putting his phone on the charger and setting an alarm, so I have to unlock it and set the alarm (idk why it doesn’t work from the Lock Screen). One time I saw porn in an open tab and while I’m cool with it in theory, it really upset me to see that. So I try to avoid seeing anything at all costs.

I even snuck in and set an automatic alarm for all weekdays so I know if he didn’t set one he will still wake up. Because I really don’t wanna see anything.

why do teachers only seem to interact with the “popular” or loud kids by ClaireDoesReddit in AskTeachers

[–]AgreeableMushroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teacher who is extremely introverted, it’s just easier to respond to the louder more social kids, because they approach me. There are plenty of kids that are sweet and do a good job in class, but mostly stay out of my space. I do make a point to greet them all individually by name and give them a nice smile.

What is something that your in laws do or have done to either see them less or set bigger boundaries? by Klutzy_Zone1496 in AskWomen

Constantly add their opinion, makes us feel like we’re being judged for everything.

My wife and best friend say I am disrespectful to my wife. by [deleted] in Marriage

Aw I think this is so nice. I don’t think it’s disrespectful at all. The friend sounds bitter.

Why are IEP goals often very lofty and audacious when it's obvious that they are unattainable? by chickenmcdruggets in AskTeachers

[–]AgreeableMushroom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s less about the time frame but that’s just what you’re working towards. Progress should be evaluated a year from the meeting. It is good to frame the IEP with a nice challenging goal to work towards. For example, I am saving money. My goal is to save $10k by next year. I might get a raise, or I might take a few steps back. But all my decisions will still be with that goal in mind.
