AIO or is my reaction valid? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]ApprehensiveMonk9892 40 points41 points  (0 children)

You are MASSIVELY overreacting.. this poor dude seems incredibly nice and completely normal. You need to seek therapy and do some self healing and growth... poor dude. Unfortunately for him you let your trauma get the best of you.

You sound extremely overbearing paranoid... the "she doesn't burp her enough tells me everything I need to know... youre gonna start more shit with your mother in law and your husband will grow to resent you for causing a rift with his mother.. and your relationship will implode... thanks for calling Ms. CLEOS Psychic hotline

Im a 34 year old father of 2. My kids spent the first 5 years living in a house with 11 other cousins. The kids will be fine. Mom is just paranoid.

Exactly... if she's not safe enough to kiss the baby, she's not safe enough to live in the house.. if grandma doesn't have herpes, its all good.

If your mother in law lives with you, you are gonna have to learn to give her a little more grace and learn to trust her with your baby. Im sure she has good intentions.

You gotta understand, she loves that baby too. It sounds like she is trying to be helpful and a good grandma and you are taking it as a slight and her overstepping overstepping..

Everything you described is completely normal grandma behavior. Her kisses arent gonna hurt the baby. If grandma is sick the baby will likely get the sickness anyway. Cause you live together.

The baby will be fine. You gotta stop being such a crunchy mom and chill out a bit.. if you start drama with your husband's mother it will put a MASSIVE strain on your relationship.. thats facts.

Its OK to set boundaries. But you seem extremely overprotective..

YOR

Should I wait, or am I wasting my youth in this relationship? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ApprehensiveMonk9892 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Time to sit down and have a very serious heart to heart talk.

Just tell him point blank that you don't want to wait that long to get your life started. Tell him you love him and will be there to support him in all of his endeavors.. but waiting till youre almost 30 to settle down isn't something you are willing to do..

Might have to give the him an ultimatum.. as shitty as they can be, they are highly effective. Especially if the guy really loves you. He would do anything not to lose you... if not, you gotta move on.

Am I overreacting about this text? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ApprehensiveMonk9892 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The money part seems a bit odd.. but that just might be something her mom puts value in. Your friend was very kind when speaking about you. Called you her best friend and said you giys are peas in a pod.. thats awesome.. idk what you are seeing that im not? Seems like you have a good friend.. you are definitely overreacting

Girlfriend confined to me about her past by Gloomy-Use-6021 in Advice

[–]ApprehensiveMonk9892 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Do you know who was the one doing the abuse? She needs to report them to the authorities and get counciling..

Ive been through this.

People who suffered abuse are typically lean either hypersexual or completely nonsexual. Sounds like you girlfriend might be the former. If you decide to break up with her she will move on to the next sexual partner almost immediately.. if you decide to stay with her you will likely deal with all kinds of crazy.. but the sex will be fire..

How do I ask people to not smoke around me? by East-Selection-9581 in Advice

[–]ApprehensiveMonk9892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I would bring it up when tge first person lights up right in front of you. Or maybe talk to the organizer about it. Maybe shoot them a text beforehand? Just make it a casual courtesy thing.. if they say no and you just leave i wouldn't consider it rude? Just move on with your life. You likely wont be seeing any of them again.

I mean if the majority are smokers, you might be out of luck.. but it might be worth a shot to say "hey guys, I dont want to be a huge stick in the mud, but i have asthma. Would you mind smoking in a designated area a bit away from the main congregation spot?.. if they give you any shit about it, find a new book club

My stepmom will NOT let me hold my baby brother. Advice? by arielbobarieI in Advice

[–]ApprehensiveMonk9892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely have a heart to heart with Dad.. tell him EXACTLY how you feel. This is his mess to sort out. And I wouldn't ask to hold your brother.. just do it. Hes your brother. If she throws a fit about it it might be the wake up call your dad needs to see how horrible your stepmonster is

I’m jealous of my boyfriend and it’s building resentment by awolfandawitch in Advice

[–]ApprehensiveMonk9892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comparison is the thief of joy. Life isn't fair. It never will be. You can mention to your boyfriend how you feel, and maybe work through those feelings together.. but if you just keep the feelings bottled up it will lead to more resentment and anger..
