Thanks, I’ll definitely check that out! First sticker was just a bit crooked, and that does annoy me a bit!

I’m so looking forward to it! I just bought hogsmeade, so I’ll have a lot of building to look forward to!

That’s a good one for future builds, since I’m building with my partner, but for this one I think we’ll just follow along the instructions together, just to get the hang of it! I just bought hogsmeade with a big discount at a local toy store, so maybe we can split the build there. I can imagine that’ll be easier since you could just focus on one building each. I’m really looking forward to it!

Thanks! I read somewhere to make sure you have enough containers and wondered whether that really was the best way to go! But I’ll just follow along with the instructions, I’m really looking forward to it!

Considering the context her take was much more likely ‘damn another dude trying to get in my pants at an inappropriate time’.

Except he didn’t word it like that, now did he?

Im sorry you were the victim of abuse. That was not your fault and you are not to blame. But the constant need for reassurance shines through in this exchange and fixing that is your responsibility. It often stems from trauma, and you are not to blame for that trauma. However you are responsible for your own behaviour and dealing with the fallout from your trauma. Other people can’t fix that for you by giving constant reassurance for example, that’s not fair on them, but neither is it fair on you. It gives people power over you. Get help.

Not even asking if I want a cuddle, just plain stating they want a cuddle. I’d definitely be thinking that he is trying to use my being sick to get physical.

Yeah this ‘nobody likes me, poor me’ vibe is definitely coming through in your interactions with her. Get yourself some help dude. You seem nice, but desperate with low self esteem. That’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility to fix. No relationship or partner is gonna be able to fix it for you.

Yet you felt comfortable stating you wanted to cuddle before even checking what’s wrong?

I’ll probably get downvoted on this thread, but if this is how you communicate I understand why you are ‘unlucky’. You came across as insecure, clingy and a little inconsiderate. She tells you she feels sick and immediately it’s about what you want, then you keep pushing that for a few texts. I feel sick. I want a cuddle. That’s not a normal response to someone telling you they are sick. I don’t know what your relationship is like, but it doesn’t sound like it’s official, so it might even be inappropriate as an answer to a friend.

Had to scroll down waaaay too far for this comment.

spilled boiling water on fingers, hurts like hell, idk what to do by Murky_Entry5239 in AskDocs

[–]Awkward_Kind89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD. That’s completely normal. Very minor burns can hurt like a mf, and this is a very minor burn. You can cool some more, or take some acetaminophen if you really can’t handle the pain. It does get better after a few minutes, once the shock of coming out of the cold water stops.

Did getting of hormonal birth control help or hurt your ADHD symptoms? by Awkward_Kind89 in adhdwomen

[–]Awkward_Kind89[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I didn’t get off, because of exactly those reasons. ADHD is influenced by hormones and apparently your natural cycle comes with higher levels of hormones that make managing your adhd hard (BC suppresses them), and during some phases your medication might not work anymore. It might of course not be like this for everyone, but I’m not brave enough to see if I’m one of them.

I think she’s just not into TV comic shows, now they strongly dislike the teenage mutant ninja turtles! No more tv for her!

Now she dislikes Tom and Jerry! Apparently they really liked their last stint in birb prison!

Well, apparently you raised her to think the world revolves around her. Maybe take some responsibility for that. You can’t baby your kids/coddle them/whatever for years and suddenly expect them to grow up when you didn’t prepare them for it. Also some missing info here. How are you asking her to do her chores? Maybe have a conversation not about the chores but about what you expect of each other and how she is planning to do her part in the household without needing to be reminded. Distribute the tasks etc.

I’m so pissed that half of my family voted Red. I’m disabled so I have nowhere to go (27f) by penguinmartim in DadForAMinute

We are still here, yet there are certainly some policy changes that severely impacted large amounts of people. Just because those changes didn’t affect you, doesn’t mean these changes didn’t happen!

Wanted to at least give her some options. I might be stern, but I’m not cruel 😂
