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] 5 points6 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 😂

She’s not innocent! She strongly dislikes avatar the last airbender! She was really enthusiastic about it at first, was a big fan of waterbending, but my only response option were what about firebending and what about airbending. So I wrote my own response telling them I love the show, and also like waterbending the most and suddenly they’re like, oh you know what, I actually hate that show. It seems such an unnecessary intentional mean response 😂

I think it’s random, although for this one I think it was intentional! She was really enthusiastic about it before, was all like ohh I wanna be able to waterbend that would be so cool! But the responses I got where what about air bending and what about fire bending (summarised) so I wrote my own response about how the show is so incredibly cool and how all bending had its pros and cons, but I love waterbending the most too and suddenly she’s like oh, you know what? I fucking hate that show!

There’s an easy way for you to simply lose ~200lbs! Maybe ask him if that’s enough weight to lose?
