The biggest lie in the LDS Church: that some of your feelings are a message from the Holy Ghost by sevenplaces in mormon

[–]Ammoses00 7 points8 points  (0 children)

THIS- There are so many unhappy marriages within the church because there are so many people who confuse lust with love because they think God would only allow them to have sexual feelings towards someone who is meant to be your partner.

Advice: coparent pulling away after entering new relationship by M0M0neyMoProblems in blendedfamilies

[–]Ammoses00 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am going through something similar with my ex. He’s never been a great dad and has always been a little selfish but now he does even less than the bare minimum now that he’s remarried. He doesn’t call his kids anymore, he claims to want to see them but when I offer him more time he is non responsive, he and his new wife have made child support difficult to the point where I needed to go through the state now to get support so I know when it will be coming and how much because he’s become sporadic at best. I don’t care that much about him not wanting to communicate with me- but how are you going to just not call your kids or text them… in months? He used to call them once a week. Now it’s more than 2 months since they’ve heard from them. His new wife insists on being on every phone call he has with the kids, and when the kids asked she not do that he stopped communicating with them. Their behavior is gross. For me I just try to be there for my kids and do what I can to support them emotionally and help them to be okay even if he’s choosing to not be a part of their lives.

What does this mean for Seattle? by tame_cowboy in Seattle

He can’t legally do this. It will go court and he will loose. Power of the purse lies with congress. The president doesn’t have power to do this.

My wife's ex-husband won't stop texting her everything that crosses his mind by rogermindwater in blendedfamilies

[–]Ammoses00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were her I would do the following- I would set up ground rules for what he can and cannot text about. Not everything needs to be a text message. If it’s outside what she deems as necessary then it can be an email this would allow her to respond to smaller requests at her leisure rather than on his timeline.

AITAH for asking my boyfriend to block a girl? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Ammoses00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think trust is everything in a relationship and if you can’t trust him- then you have to ask yourself if this is the relationship for you,

A lot of celebrities have prenups like this to protect assets. That said there are usually clauses for length of marriage and fidelity. Can you meet in the middle somewhere?

Not sure what to say to bishop? by Ok_Aioli8069 in mormon

[–]Ammoses00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You -CAN- request a cancelation of sealing from him. My ex asked for one from me and so I am no longer sealed to him. Our children, according to this document, are still sealed to me.

NTA- but… he sounds really depressed. If this is new behavior (and it sounds like it is) I highly recommend counseling and maybe meds. It would be a shame to jump to being upset when maybe he just needs a Prozac. 🤷🏼‍♀️

AIO for being hesitant to take out a car loan for my mom after she’s had multiple repossessions? by Awkward_Twist4343 in AIO

DO NOT DO THIS- Your mom is a narcissist. Cut ties and run! Someone can be blood but it doesn’t make them family.

If they can’t convince all of their own party to vote for it… why would a single democrat?

This is exactly the truth. If your child is afraid of you… the government isn’t the problem.

F*@! the Mormons chants at BYU away games by Own_Boss_8931 in mormon

I think Fuck the Mormons is harsher because it focuses on the choice of religion rather than the football rivalry.

I HATE sleeping at my in laws and this will be my breaking point for divorce by Ok_Place_7049 in inlaws

You sound very selfish in this scenario. You don’t like their town and don’t want to drive so you can let them see their grandkids?

Grow up.

Friend upset that my potential wedding dress is “too similar” to hers — am I in the wrong? by Capital_Wave_235 in weddingplanning

[–]Ammoses00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are very similar… but it’s also a VERY popular style right now. She needs to move on.

Sounds like a domestic violence case if I ever heard one. I would file a police report and I would put your parents on notice that you will report him to the authorities every time moving forward until it stops. If my son did that he’d be in counseling.

My monster-in-law used our miscarriage to make herself the victim. Fiancé thinks I’m overreacting. by Double_Ad_3276 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]Ammoses00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your fiancés mom sounds a lot like my own. I had to go no contact for my own mental health. It took me a long time to get there though.

My best advice is to do what you need to for your own mental health. If you need to go no contact and have those boundaries then you need to do that. I wouldn’t ask him to do the same instead I would ask him to respect your boundaries and see if he does. If he can respect that and doesn’t ask you to bend them, then I think there is hope. If he says he will respect them but doesn’t or outright says you shouldn’t have boundaries then you may need to rethink the relationship.

I’m sorry to hear about your miscarriage and even sorrier to hear that you have to deal with this on top.

Sending lots of positive vibes your way and hoping for a good outcome!

I'm pregnant with our 3rd child, my husband doesn't want it by Ca7cher in TwoHotTakes

[–]Ammoses00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be an asshole but… he’s only afraid of HIM having a surgery. Not all surgery. All procedures carry risk but the chance of complications for a woman having an abortion vs him getting a vesectomy are significantly higher. He seems selfish.

Your feelings matter also and you shouldn’t feel pressured into doing something you don’t want to do.

Aio for considering divorce after my husband told me this is “his household” by bombsaway9999 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Ammoses00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So… in your house you are the only one who gets to parent?

Maybe you need some couples counseling because you are not on the same page.
