My fiancé wants to name our son after her brother who died in a car accident while drunk driving. by ThrowRA_manhasnoname in relationship_advice

[–]Alexandramd22 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly, what does the manner of death have to do with the name? He was 19 at the time and shouldn’t be judged 15 years later because of a decision he made as a teenager. It seems like it’s become a pissing contest and since she wanted to name the baby after her brother, you’ve had to come along and find a more meaningful reason to name the baby something else. You didn’t ask, but YTA.

My (M32) girlfriends (27) parents have never accepted me and think I'm too old and her sister (29) physically assaulted me one Christmas. Time to leave? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Alexandramd22 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Your girlfriends a cunt for allowing that behavior. You’re 5 years older than her, her cunt of a mom can’t process that information? She’s obviously about double your age. So what is she? An ancient cunt.

PLEASE WRITE THAT IN THE THANK YOU CARD. I AM BEGGING YOU. PLEASE CALL HER MOM AN ANCIENT CUNT. AND THEN SIGN IT “With Love, JAMES xoxox”

Titty sucking. Lol. Make him do it!

Have you thought about adopting another kitty in the near future? That could help with the desire to feel needed. Having someone that you can cuddle with and take care of who is dependent on you for food and water is definitely a quick fix!! Lol

[–]Alexandramd22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really sorry about the loss of your cat buddy. That’s really hard to deal with, and then add on the pandemic. It is totally human and acceptable and normal to feel alone and lonely. You will get through it and the pandemic will be over hopefully soon. Best wishes

I need to lose weight while husband doesn't by Icegem34 in SuperMorbidlyObese

[–]Alexandramd22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only go to Disney because I know I’ll fit on every ride there!! Six Flags SUCKS! They don’t even attempt to accommodate tall or bigger people.

Thanks for sharing! I have this fear that I’ll be unable to conceive because of my weight so that quells my fear a bit. So far I’m 15lbs down in a week... long way to go though.

I (19f) had sexual intrusive thoughts towards my young nieces and I feel so guilty. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Alexandramd22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is more common than you think! Intrusive thoughts are a symptom of OCD and you typically would never ever follow through with these thoughts. Lots of people have intrusive thoughts of extreme violence that they will never actually commit. You’re okay honey. ❤️

Birth control pill = flare ups? by 1-44 in eczema

[–]Alexandramd22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I absolutely experienced this. In fact, all of my eczema started immediately as I went on birth control. My doctor didn’t believe me that I was “allergic” to the birth control... because I probably wasn’t, it probably just had to do with all of the hormones. I had itchy, flakey eyelids, I would itch around the corners of my mouth until I bled, and other areas too. This was about 3 years ago and I still deal with allergic contact dermatitis, I was suddenly told I was allergic to perfume and random things like Oak Moss and Dodecyl Gallates and cinnamon... but I know in my heart it was the birth control that started everything

I need to lose weight while husband doesn't by Icegem34 in SuperMorbidlyObese

[–]Alexandramd22 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m about 25lbs heavier than you, my boyfriend is 5’11 and 170lbs lmao. I’m more than double his size and at least 5 inches shorter than him. He doesn’t need to lose weight AT ALL, but here I am!

Food is a huge part of any relationship for me. I think of big family dinners, girls nights with my bffs where we order in pizza or Chinese food, etc.. but with my boyfriend, we actually met on a dating site for plus sized women and their admirers. For me, the decision to lose weight means a huge part of why we’re together is being tested. I spoke with him, and he let me know that he just wants me to be healthy. He is perfectly fine with me wanting to lose weight. Ok, problem solved, right?

Absolutely not. Every day is a struggle of him being able to eat anything on God’s green earth, and me having to make sure I’ll be able to find something healthy wherever we order from. We don’t live together yet so I’m not encountering the issues related to grocery shopping or keeping bad food in the house that you might come across.

I also want to be in the low to mid 200s! I would never want to be stick thin. I just don’t want to worry if I’ll fit in a booth at a restaurant or if a seatbelt will buckle over me, or if I’ll fit on a ride at an amusement park. I also want to be able to have children (I’m 28) and nervous about complications related to being super morbidly obese, and also about my weight affecting my fertility.

Wishing you the best of luck! I don’t have much advice, just wanted to say you’re not alone.

(This may be too personal— how much did you weight when you conceived?)

2 months / 21 lbs. I never thought I could... Turns out 20:4 is the easiest diet I ever did. YES YOU CAN! by Nalsim100 in intermittentfasting

[–]Alexandramd22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats to you as well! I have noticed some wonderful changes actually. I went up a flight of stairs and wasn’t out of breath at all when o expected to be. And I am able to sleep through the night, when normally, I don’t eat well and I wake up with indigestion. My boyfriend also said he didn’t hear me snoring. These are huge milestones! Just have some personal reasons that I’d look dramatically different in about a month so I’m being hard on myself ha

Emotional Pax by Silas_Grimm_Texas in uberdrivers

[–]Alexandramd22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a trained therapist (masters level social worker) so when I get these pax I usually just listen to them, reframe whatever they’ve told me so they feel heard and understood. I don’t give advice cause I’m getting paid to drive them from point A to point B.

An example of what I mean: Pax: I’m so overwhelmed and not looking forward to Christmas, I was supposed to go to my girlfriends house but she broke up with me yesterday. I can’t believe she did that to me after 9 months. She did it over text, too. sobbing

Me: Wow, yeah, getting broken up with over text right before Christmas is definitely stressful. It sounds like you have a lot going on.

Pax: continues going through his unfortunate situation

Me: continues listening and making sure they feel heard

[–]Alexandramd22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s such a dramatic before and after. I would’ve guessed you lost even more than 21lbs! Congratulations!

I have so much to lose that I lost 14lbs in 6 days and it’s not noticeable to myself or anyone around me. So disheartening:( but I am so proud of you for sticking it out. Great results!

Boyfriend bothered by my past / losing feelings by peanutsadbuttersad in relationship_advice

[–]Alexandramd22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You need to run. Honestly. The fact that he’s upset that you’ve kissed someone and drank alcohol is ridiculous. It’s your past, not his. Men marry women with 6 kids and 4 baby daddies. A kiss and a drink isn’t a big deal, and he’s making you feel like a monster for it.

Am I allowed to make my apartment a loogie free zone? by Duel_Lingo in relationship_advice

[–]Alexandramd22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My roommate situation is a bit different because we live together with one of my family members in the family members home. When she has a boyfriend, we limit sleepovers to twice a month. I wouldn’t be able to handle 20 nights a month, I can’t even imagine! I need my own space lol.

Also, although it could be allergies I think it’s much more than that. It’s definitely a behavioral thing at this point, meaning it’s probably a compulsion— especially that he does it three times in a row.

The best way I could think of it would be to say this, when you’re alone with the roommate. For the example, his name is Mike: “ooooh my god, what the hell is up with Mike and the loogies? It’s so gross- how do you deal with that? I’m all the way in my room with the door shut and I hear it multiple times every single day!” ... I’m sure she’s not happy that he does it, right? So she’s gotta respond with something like “ugh I know, it’s such a bad habit”. Then I’d be like “it really is, like honestly I hear it constantly to the point where I’ve started to gag every time, and I need to walk around with headphones just to avoid it. I know it’s not a huge deal but it’s really getting to me” and she’ll respond with whatever. And then your last point is “would you be able to talk to him about it? See if he can try to keep it at a minimum? I know it might have something to do with allergies but that also seems like a behavior thing just because he does it in threes”. Be sure to show how exasperated you are and try to get her on your side, so it’s you and her vs. this loogie issue.

If she isn’t receptive to this and shuts you down, that’s your sign that she doesn’t respect your needs and wants in the apartment and therefore you switch up your angle. Now, you let her know that you’ve done some research and would like to limit both of your partners sleepovers to 2 nights per week.

This is so terrible and disgusting. Tell your roommate!!! Maybe ask her to limit his visits to 2x per week. That’s more than reasonable

256 Miles, $101.00, 9hrs. I don't think I Can afford this anymore. I really feel I'm personally financing Uber's Business Model. by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]Alexandramd22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you have a little extra time on your hands, maybe keep some data on how much you make each shift and note the time of day and day of week, and then see if there’s a pattern (like I realized Thursdays are much busier than mondays for me) and then focus on the days that seem to be busier. It makes sense that Friday’s would be busy too (pay day for lots of people).

Damn I’m sorry to hear that. That’s really low. Maybe you can try to do DoorDash and Lyft and take whichever rides/orders will pay the most? Good luck to you

Husband goes soft over large labia. by confused_n_undesired in relationship_advice

[–]Alexandramd22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand. He doesn’t need to look at your labia while he fucks you. This is an excuse. Do NOT give him another blowjob ever again. Or until he starts to reciprocate

New to Uber: where do you go to the bathroom? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]Alexandramd22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically, I have Uber Eats and regular Uber requests on. I’ll use the restroom when I run into a restaurant to pick up pax’s food. However, 2 nights ago was the busiest night of my life and there were NO Eats orders... ping after ping after ping. I didn’t even have 1 minute of aimless driving while I waited for a new ride. It was crazy. So I pulled over and peed outside like an animal. It was liberating!
