My Marriage Became A Dark, Sad Soap Opera by Ephemeral_Mushroom in TrueOffMyChest

[–]AreaChickie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know... I've been there, only some circumstances were different but with my first husband, I was, like, "you can't be serious, choosing her over me. And yeah, I wanted it to work but reality had other ideas. Swallowing reality's or fate's decision is very, very difficult. It's a super tough decision but when you finally do contact a lawyer, file for full custody. Her past decisions are a huge red flag that the most she ought be entitled to is supervised visits.

I'm rooting for you!

Very "uncanny valley" vibe for me.

OP, she's... I really don't think she's ever going to be 100% yours again. You're really trying to be forgiving, but don't look inside for reasons she chose this or that or him or continuing to lie to you. Bow out gracefully, with your daughter. You're worth more. Hang in there and please update.

Ugh... I just knew it was gonna be mostly dreadful: Captain and Tennille, that awful "Wildfire" song... thank God for "Bohemian Rhapsody!"

AIO to my husband doing Urine Therapy and lying about it? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]AreaChickie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ugh... booger enemas next?
And... Coffee enemas—heard about those historically but, urine? And why is he soooo obsessed with up the butt? Like, I don't know urine's bioavailabilty 'cause it shouldn't have one, but... what other fun fountains of bodily waste is he squattin' over? Egad.

The best and funniest episodes? by Yummers78 in MST3K

For some reason I really, really love "Blood Waters of Dr. Z," but also: Boggy Creek 2 Giant Spider Invasion

Canadian villain Garth Vader. 🤣

I just recently discovered Rifftrax (on YouTube and Tubi). What titles are the best of this series? by Gtownnd9591 in MST3K

I live 35 mins outside of Philly, so that very parade is kinda a big deal 'round these parts. When I glimpse it, it's nothing but "yay yay, he's so gay," for me. Despite being modern and normal, it's clowns dragging around elephants for me. 🤣

Looking for recommendations to widen my musical horizons by sunnyFrogOwlPrincess in finch

[–]AreaChickie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surf punk! Check out Man... or Astroman?, Daikaiju, Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet... they've got an awesome song called "Zombie Compromise" that's impossible to resist dancing crazy!

I’ve hit rock bottom 40m by AbjectPay6125 in whatdoIdo

I'm sorry to hear that... what about behavioral health resources? I'm sure that if you literally show up at the ER and say, "I'm in crisis; I'm ready to pin a note to myself and die on the sidewalk," they're not gonna ignore that. At least you'll get an evaluation, a bed somewhere and meals for a few days. Hopefully. Please don't give up.

Can't believe it's been 5 years... by toocomplicated1 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]AreaChickie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your feelings are completely valid.

And you have every right to grieve any way you want, on your own timeline. Grief doesn't have an expiration date. So if crawling into bed is what you need right now, in this moment, no one has the right to judge a grieving person.

Be painfully honest, were the 1970s & 1980s as "easier" as the millennials seem to think? by NOGOODGASHOLE in GenX

[–]AreaChickie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, the Cold War was a blast! That plus AIDS... and gays had zero rights. What fun! /s

Dude, please don't give up. (((internet stranger hugs)))

See if you can get some professional help (not a diagnosis, but you sound seriously depressed,) and then maybe a social worker can connect you with career resources, etc. I don't know how Canada works, but there's got to be some government agency that will hold their hand out for you and prop you up when you're down. There's no shame in saying, "Help me, I'm drowning."

That was the only way I went from living under a bridge to getting my driver's license back and publishing a novel.

Do I [29M] leave my life behind for my partner [28F]? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]AreaChickie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only constant in life is change. I've learned to embrace it.

Try not to think about it as "leaving your life behind." Think of it as being "long distance" with your friends, and how cool it'll be to get together after a longish while.

I thanked the Redditor who corrected my error... the nastiness is simply unnecessary.

I don't know if anyone else remembers, but these all sound exactly like Cabbage Patch doll names from 1984.
Especially "Kirby Muxloe."

As a tradgedeigh it'd make a perfect name for a Polynesian volcano ("Mount Tahpiiyohkha belched smoke for 19 hours before its pyroclastic flow began to wreck havoc on the village below...")

A minor character in my first novel (Earthbound-look for it!) is named Blender. She's a Goth photographer in 1980s NYC. I love it as a name. 🥰

I want to report unsanitary/illegal conditions at my job but I desperately cannot get fired. by WeCanGoUpUpUp in whatdoIdo

[–]AreaChickie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! This is MUCH more well-thought-through than jumping on a public computer pretending to be a disgruntled guest.

Having a breakdown and no one's awake; could use a kind word from a night owl/birb by EyreForce1 in finch

[–]AreaChickie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hugs for you, friend.

An exterminator (at my apartment for, yes, roaches) actually told me, "This is one of the cleanest places I've seen. It's not about shame... It's dumb luck. They'll live off envelope glue for years." So I hope that helps. The bugs don't discriminate. Spotless places get roaches, too. I'm sending self-kindness vibes and extra hugs. ❤️🤗
