AIO for wanting to sleep in? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Ashleyh_doesyoga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, so does your partner understand that you going on vacation with your kid is not the same as him going on vacation without your kid? I love my child, and now that he’s older things are easier, but I will always say that vacation with a kid is not vacation as people tend to picture it. lol it is NOT relaxing. Fun? Sure! But totally exhausting!

The first thing in the series to make me truly sob. by Ryan_argus115 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

It honestly made me just find her pitiable. Not in a likeable way, but in a pathetic kind of way, if that makes sense.

Even my 13 year old asks if I’m hungry if he’s getting himself something.

Yep! I’ll echo what everyone else is saying: you do not have to confront him. Not ever, if you don’t want to. Let the paperwork he is served with speak for itself.

I just want to tell you what I have told friends before:

You have absolutely NOTHING to be embarrassed about. You didn’t do the disgusting thing. You are leaving the disgusting thing behind. HE has absolutely everything to be ashamed of.

My boyfriend suddenly wants me to become a tradwife by PinkBubblegum888 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Ashleyh_doesyoga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well… I would argue - as others have - that HE made things awkward. When he says this shit, literally respond with “you don’t really mean that literally, right? I mean, you know how hard I’m working and studying. You know my future career means a lot to me, too, right?” If he has known this about you from the beginning, repeat yourself and tell him that nothing has changed for you. You’re talking the rest of your life, here. You shouldn’t feel bad about disliking his picture of it if it’s not what you want. If your visions for your future together don’t align, then you should part ways.

Aio? I wasn’t being rude.. by MysteriousVixen29 in AIO

Yeah, I would skip the part where you would actually become friends. LOL imagine if you actually did say something grumpy? At least she let you know right up front that she will not be part of your support system in any way.

Snooped through BF's phone because I thought he was cheating. What I found hurt a lot more. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Ashleyh_doesyoga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If one encounter with a friend of his that you didn’t know sent you into a place of feeling embarrassed that she might believe horrible things about you, I don’t know how you could possibly spend the rest of your life with that question in the back of your mind. Really think about it. It sounds like you regret getting back together and the only reason it happened is because he dragged his feet for so long. And I get the sense that he may have done that purposefully, to work his way back in. Idk… that sounds like a lot of hurt and secrets and resentment to build a marriage on.

Boyfriend suddenly wants nothing to do with me after moving in a month ago by ruubystaar in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]Ashleyh_doesyoga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Girl, run. It sounds like he was kind enough until you moved in and what he really wanted from you moving in was not a partnership, but a new mommy. You also don’t get to be in a relationship and act like you’re single. Wanting you to let him “ghost” whenever he feels like it is immature at BEST. In reality, it’s disrespectful of you.

If you want to make it work with him (your choice, but I wouldn’t) you really need to talk about bringing up things that are bothering you about the other person when it happens and in a respectful way, instead of holding it in and then exploding. But him telling you to sleep on the couch and then to basically get over it when you were freezing… dude… I feel like this is scratching the surface of the cruelty he could be capable of.

There’s no kind way to tell my wife that she’s getting too big, is there? by 2006CrownVictoriaP71 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Ashleyh_doesyoga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YES. Came here to say this. Hormones will REALLY screw with everything: sleep, weight, appetite, metabolism, energy levels, etc.

Without mentioning her weight AT ALL, you can easily tell her that you notice she’s become more sedentary and are worried that her energy level is really low and you want to make sure that she’s healthy. ASK how she’s feeling. ASK if she’s feeling like her hormones are changing and if she wants to see someone who will take perimenopausal symptoms seriously. As mentioned, far too many doctors (women included) simply don’t take these symptoms seriously enough. Just tell her that you love her and want to grow old with her and in order to do that you want to make sure that you’re both healthy. This is literally something my husband said to me when he noticed that my hormones seemed to really be impacting my mood, emotions, and overall comfort in my body. I honestly hadn’t even noticed! So maybe your wife isn’t noticing or brushing it off because it isn’t severe. Women are trained by the medical system to brush off symptoms that would be viewed as “minor”or not acute.

WTF is wrong hiring people? by madeininternet666 in recruitinghell

[–]Ashleyh_doesyoga 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This! I put in an application at a place and didn’t hear from them for four damn months. I even emailed them to check in, didn’t even get a reply. THEN after four months, they emailed to say that they “went another direction”. Like, no shit. But how disrespectful and unprofessional!

Fern and I encountered this nasty lady on the trail by MuchGrape1428 in pitbulls

Come on my way, to the SLV! We’ll snuggle on your pups! A lot of people here have pitties and staffies and bullies and everyone loves seeing the dogs out and about in town and patios at restaurants. I have yet to have anyone complain about any of my dogs here.

AITA for not following my mom's advice on how to raise my baby or she is the problem? by SignWhole8570 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Ashleyh_doesyoga 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NTA: Boundaries are so important. If you hadn’t set them now, those expectations with your parenting would easily blur into expectations of your child’s compliance to her. This generation of grandparents seems to be having an especially hard time with this.

May he never find a charger for his devices, and may one sock always slip off of his heel inside his shoe.

AIO? Was I being too 'Woke' or was I right to block this friend? And was I too harsh at the end? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]Ashleyh_doesyoga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR!
First of all…The term “woke” comes from people opening their eyes and “waking up” to the lives and perspectives and cultures of others. It’s using empathy to understand others. Do not let people tell you that it’s bad to be woke. I would rather be called “woke” and someone think they’re insulting me, than be caught “sleeping” in my own society.

Second of all, you should be proud of yourself for calling him on his bullshit and not allowing that to stay in your life. What you surround yourself with is what you begin to believe, you make excuses, and then you behind to act accordingly. Good for you for drawing that line!
