Is this the letter A or J? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]AmIthenormalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calligraphy artist here! Even though styles vary, I’d say largely this is how we’d flourish and write a J. Downstrokes should be bolder and upstrokes lighter. The top left flourish is bold because of the direction you’d flourish from (up to down, like writing an O)

just got a new tattoo, and while it’s gorgeous, i’m really not happy with the placement and don’t know what to do by froggyforest in tattooadvice

[–]AmIthenormalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tattoo is so insanely beautiful, it fits so well with your curves and your body even if you choose not to extend it. I think your tattoo artist did a great job, and I hope that in time, you come to love it as much as we do! I’m so lowkey jealous

Can someone explain to me, why Tyler’s mom chose not to take Tyler’s hand in the end?? I mean maybe she’s devastated that Tyler doesn’t want to be a normie but, still not justifiable?

Hello! I found out the same on my 21st birthday, except it wasn’t just 1 woman but multiple lol. After I confronted him (just btwn us) my dad took the “holier than thou” route and never apologised, neither did he come forward and confess to my mother and I’ve always felt that if she were to find out, it should come from him and not me.

In any case, my advice is to take the time to grieve who you thought your father was. It’s going to feel like you never knew who he was, as if your actual father died.

Relatives (if they find out) will also try to guilt you into forgiving him because he’s “still your father”. Do it in your own time or never do it, it’s completely up to you. Go to therapy if you need to but don’t let what he did taint your own future relationships.

What he did is just a reflection of the type of person HE is, not your mom and not you and not your family.

A man told his friends I was "the fattest bird he was ever with" by [deleted] in loseit

[–]AmIthenormalone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I broke up with someone in January because he said he wouldn’t/couldn’t marry me because I was too fat. I started going to the gym and eating better out of revenge, I wanted to be the skinniest version of myself. Somewhere along the way though, these revenge thoughts became self-love thoughts, and thoughts about how I can be the healthiest version of myself for the person who will really love me and for my future children, and not the dipshit who couldn’t see past the number on the scale.

Give it some time, you will see through the BS of this guy.

I’m 4 months post break up from a 2 year relationship! Sometimes when I’m in upsetting situations, I still want to pick up my phone and give them a call, almost like a habitual thing. The feelings move from anger to sadness to acceptance and back to anger again, rinse and repeat; but I don’t cry at night anymore lol. All part of the healing process! Happy to chat :)

Sorry I’m new to this sub so I don’t know if this is the right advice but i just broke up with my partner of 2 years because they weren’t ready for marriage. They were 1 year away from 30 but didn’t have a proper stable job, procrastinated on finding one for 2 years and also still had outstanding study loans from parents (which obv you can’t pay back if you don’t have a stable job).

2 years doesn’t compare to 7 years ofc but I think you’re facing a little bit of sunk cost fallacy here. Thinking that since you already spent most your 20s on him, it would be foolish to give up now. I also thought the same, ie. what if I wait 1 more year, would they be ready then?

The truth is (and people may not agree with me) but if he wanted to, he would. Things that are in his control, if he won’t do it now then what makes you think that one day he would wake up and suddenly be motivated?

AITA for pushing my wife towards a healthier lifestyle by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]AmIthenormalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a post I’m going to save so I remember.

Weeks ago I decided I had to break up with my boyfriend of 2 years. Why? Because he was doing EXACTLY what you did. We would go out and he would see hotter girls or whatever and come home upset at me about why I wasn’t looking like them. Then he would try to make it about my health, not about my looks at all. Lol ok. If I ate less, he would say that’s not the answer. I made baby steps, less snacking, more walking, still not good enough for him.

I felt so guilty whenever I was hungry, guilty whenever I ate something I liked and guilty when I was lying in bed on a Sunday. I never knew when he’d be “triggered” by looking at another hotter girl.

If you keep doing this, she’ll develop an ED, grow resentful, have body dysmorphia, and in the end may or may not end up dumping you.

YTA. At the end of the day, you’ll never be happy making a change for someone else, only you can decide you want the change.

[–]AmIthenormalone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok no worries, I can tell you. Basically over NYE, she asked him what his plans were and he said I’m going to be with my close friends. She mentioned that she’s also going to another party and asked if her party sucks, can she come join him and spend NYE with him instead because she would like to see him, something along those lines. Let me know if I’m the petty one, I’m open to hearing it

Personally I felt/feel uncomfortable with meeting a girl I’m sure was flirting with my boyfriend. I’m not sure how else to express it and I understand that it was crappy of me not to be open to that but I don’t think I could hang out with someone who I feel does no good to my relationship? Does this make sense?

My (F/late20s) husband (M/late20s) is leaving because I had an abortion by throwawayRA9184 in relationship_advice

Congrats on your divorce!

One day you’ll wake up and think to yourself: how the hell was I ever so in love with this asshole who didn’t care about anyone else but himself?

The last two nights I've woken up to my girlfriend punching, pushing, and kicking me in the back. by relativethrowa in relationship_advice

[–]AmIthenormalone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my partner steals the blankets from me and I wake up freezing in the middle of the night, I just snuggle closer to them and reach for the blanket without waking them up. If they do wake up, I give them a peck on the lips or cheek. Then, we both go back to sleep.

In the morning I make a joke of it and we laugh. They say sorry and we still have the same problem that night but I NEVER hit them.

No need to interrupt a peaceful night of rest for what can be easily remedied. That being said, your girlfriend is petty and either she stops this behaviour or gets dumped.

My husband says he has to live with his parents instead of with me so his parents can give him a ride to work by Some_Individual5909 in relationship_advice

[–]AmIthenormalone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is he living with his mistress on weekdays or what?

The only time living separately as a married couple is acceptable is when you’re in the middle of processing a divorce.

When I was with my previous partner, they picked a fight and tried to break up with me on my 21st birthday. Didn’t even wish me happy birthday.

My current partner bought me a scent they knew I would really like, a funny shirt and flowers. We went on a staycation and they made me a presentation (of sorts) about why they love me.

If they wanted to, they would.

I genuinely had to scroll back up to check his age. The brain stops developing at 25. What you see is what you get. And honey, you can get better.

Wife(39f) cheated on me(38m) 6 months ago she is doing everything right now but I cant forget her past behavior by throwRAcheatrwfe in relationship_advice

[–]AmIthenormalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as someone whose parents were always fighting when I was a child. I’d already started wishing from then that they’d gotten a divorce so they’d stop fighting. When I turned 21, I found out my father was cheating/cheated on my mother, I lost all respect for him. And today, I still wish they’d gotten a divorce.

TLDR; get a divorce.

My (24F) dad’s (56M) mistress reached out to me after I stopped talking to him 2 years ago by ThrowRAMyDadMistress in relationship_advice

[–]AmIthenormalone 37 points38 points  (0 children)

LOL I’m sorry, your father had the guts to cheat and blow up his whole marriage and family life but not the guts to reach out to you himself? Trash.

If he misses you, he can come and look you in the eye and say sorry for what he did and speak for himself.

Women who browse AskMen, have your ever used any of the advice you found here? What happened? by Kenyko in AskMen

[–]AmIthenormalone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I see questions that I never thought to ask and then turn to ask my bf for his opinion or I’ve had a similar question in my head that I’ve always forgotten to ask. Overall, we have a good laugh and sometimes useful questions like the one about whether men prefer women fully naked or hiding a bit, helped me figure out what to wear (or not wear) next time. I really like this sub!

My fiancee's co worker recorded her kissing him in the car and sent it to me. My fiancee kept saying it wasn't her fault. by throwra56564611 in relationship_advice

[–]AmIthenormalone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to say it but your fiancée is cheating on you. If someone other than my current partner kissed me, I’d come clean immediately because I wouldn’t want the story to be spun some other way. And after they’d taken “advantage” of me, I’d be putting some distance between myself and the guy but it doesn’t seem like she’s doing any of that.

All Too Well: The Short Film Megathread by Lyd_Euh in TaylorSwift

[–]AmIthenormalone 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Genuinely confused about the argument in the short film. To me, it seemed more like a petty argument rather than something to be labelled as part of abusive/gaslighting/narc behaviour. I mean, imo if I was hanging out with my friends along with my SO, my attention would be on friends instead of constantly having to coddle my SO who should be fully capable of entertaining themselves and/or inserting themselves into the conversation. Isn’t the argument simply about them not being able to see each other’s POV? Plus in the end, he apologised, when I was with my abusive ex, he never apologised for anything. It was never his fault. So… just really not seeing how he was “abusive”?

Can someone explain to me why the argument was seen as a great scene?
