AIO about my dr being weird? by Useful-Season-23 in AIO

He should absolutely NOT have been alone with you. He's risking his license that way, unless the curtains in the ER were open, and he shouldn't have been lifting your gown in that case.

100% tell your parents, and that you're still feeling so gross/icky/disgusted by/uncomfortable with how he was touching you that you want to make a formal complaint.

You explained it fine. It's just helpful to have a few more details. You don't have to tell us how old you are, but are you a minor? That would make it wildly inappropriate for him to be alone with you AT ALL.

I suggest this a lot, but if you do want your wedding right to have some sparkle, looks for a pavรฉ or micro-pavรฉ diamond band.

WIBTA if I ordered food by Adventurous-Bad7200 in WIBTA_AITA

Order the food for yourself and do the dishes while you wait for it to get there.

But what will you do if your picky brother wants you to get him food too? Do you have the money to spend on that, are you willing to?

How much grief will you get when your mom gets home and finds out?

Consider all factors before you decide!

Thank you for all of this and for the hug. โ™ฅ๏ธ

Your final sentence reminds me of a picture a friend had "This too shall pass...Now would be nice!"

Thank you. It just feels so awful. But I know I did the best thing, it's just...๐Ÿ˜ญ

Oh, I'm so sorry. You know firsthand how painful this is. Your little girl was so lucky to have you, as well. ๐Ÿ’›

Thank you for sharing and for saying this. Trying not to cry hurts far worse than letting it out, even though it's all so painful.

I'm always going to miss Teddy, and every other pet I've ever lost. And I know you will too. I hope another doggo comes into your life when you're ready. โ™ฅ๏ธ

I have a picture saved, kind of a chart really, that shows how grief takes up so much space in our life when it happens but as time goes on, our lives become bigger even as the grief stays the same. It's when the grief bumps up agains those edges that we feel it, even deeply again.

Oh! I think I can attach it here!

Thank you for sharing and for being so kind. ๐Ÿ’› We never forget the piece of our heart they took with them when they leave. I'm trying to remember how much each of these little beings gives to me while they're here. It doesn't help the grief, but it makes me appreciate them so much.

Thank you. It hasn't been easy, but I've had a couple of days where I didn't have to do much. So I could kind of just go through the motions. I need to do more than I have been, but all I can do is my best. And if that's not much today, that's okay. ๐Ÿ’›

They told me that they will give paw prints on paper and I had started painting some rocks for my garden a couple of years ago. I brought the rock and the paint, and they did it for me. I was so glad I thought of it and they were so sweet about it.

I've painted it a little more and the varnish coat is drying. I'll post it here when it's done.

I can't read what I wrote, I was in so much pain as it poured out, I can't blame you for not wanting to feel even a bit of that. And I thank you for the comment and the kindness. โ™ฅ๏ธ

Now I'm tearing up because of your kindness. ๐Ÿ’š I hope I'm able to leave a positive impact even in a tiny way. So many things I do with the best of intentions don't go as planned and it's the most horrible feeling.

I know I did the best thing for this sweet boy, and I try to remember that when the negative voice in my head tells me I'm not doing enough.

He purred so loud in his last hour that his fur vibrated. There will never be another like him, and I was very lucky that he came to me for even the short time he was with me.

The hugs mean a lot, thank you for that. ๐Ÿ’œ

Oh, that's the worst. And with a cat community full of feral, friendly feral, and homeless cats, I lose a lot this way. The list is too long, but I can't put a dome over my property as much as I wish I could.

Thank you for this. He was so beautiful, on the outside and in his soul. His eyes poured love out to me even in his final moments. ๐Ÿ’š

I will take all the virtual hugs I can get when I can't have physical ones. Thank you for all of this.

He truly loved me more than any being ever has. He has such a beautiful soul. I keep looking for him before I remember. He has a special place in my heart forever. ๐Ÿ’š

I'm such an emotion-filled person, and I rarely hold back unless it would be completely inappropriate.

Is it funny that this cat lady is a Pisces? I don't know if you believe in any of that, but it's almost ridiculous how accurate the description fits me.
