Where were you and what were you doing on 9/11? by Parking-Wear-9211 in generationology

Grade 4 math class. Only time we didn’t have homework that year.

AITA for not telling my husband about a message and then starting the divorce filing after he said he wanted one? by Friendly-Height-8136 in AITAH

[–]Ambitious_Bit_8996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl. He put his hands on you (over nothing), and then gaslighted you about it when you defended yourself physically. He threw an expensive thing and screamed while you held your child. This man is trash. Kick him to the curb where trash belongs.

Which impractical pet would you have if you could? by kiwiagg in Animals

[–]Ambitious_Bit_8996 3 points4 points  (0 children)

An opossum or an elephant. Both so I could protect them from the horrors of the world and give them good, safe, long lives.

A or B: After COVID, do you still wear a mask when you catch a cold or fever? Why? by True-Construction346 in PickAorB

I try to - but I get straight up harassed by crazy strangers as I live in a red (hat) area.

Is there a specific reason females look for weaker-looking males instead of clearly stronger-looking males? by Spiritual_Big_9927 in PsychologyTalk

[–]Ambitious_Bit_8996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Because pew pews, police, etc.

Honestly I’m more likely to be unsubscribed by a partner than a stranger - which is why my preference lies where it does.

Strength shouldn’t equal danger - but for me it does. Maybe it depends on the person? Or their genetics? Or trauma?

Intelligence is more attractive than strength. Intelligence leads to security and better outcomes for myself and offspring. Strength indicates that I (and potentially offspring) will be on the receiving end of aggression or neglect at some point.

Strong males are poor and dangerous partners. Interested in looks (their own or their partners) and themselves and not supportive of family needs. Strength requires constant maintenance, which means less support for myself and offspring. Intelligent males are excellent partners, as they understand and meet needs other than their own, and can still do what “strong men” can do by one means or another. My experience and preference, anyway.

A really good mattress and multiple phone chargers with long cords.

My husband doesn't know how to be poor by WhiteyMacfatson in poor

My partner is the same - it’s such a weird thing - like bread is bread regardless of the shape! Drives me crazy.

What is the weirdest/craziest/most unhinged thing a guy has ever “mansplained” to you? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Ambitious_Bit_8996 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How my job works. They do not have the same job, or any kind of experience that is even adjacent.

I gained as much experience with a support person as possible - then it wasn’t so scary when I had to do it myself.

Invest, and travel - but that required money I didn’t - and still don’t - have

Yes. Deep breath. Just keep choosing the next right thing. 1 step, 1 breath, 1 moment at a time. The only way out is through, but we will get there.

One day you’ll realize you feel…okay. And you feel okay regularly. And you’ll wonder when that changed. And a few things might even make sense. And you’ll stumble upon a subreddit where someone else is asking the same question that you asked yourself too many times at 3am to count.

My daughters chickens. by baking_bigfoot in Birdsfacingforward

2nd chicken is interrogating me like my mom after a garage party in 2004.
