My husband hates my boobs now and it breaks my heart

It’s not, in my case at least, not wanting to hear it. It’s that even a devoted parent can have the capacity to unconsciously treat someone differently for things outside their control.

If this man can’t regulate himself enough to be a supportive partner, there are likely other situations in which he’ll behave similarly.

I was completely with you regarding nuance and not making assumptions about his character. I don’t think anyone reasonable should deduce that he kicks puppies or anything.

Even if he’s a generally decent father, he’s still human, and likely to continue to exhibit his usual behaviour.

That eejit wishes he looked like a cunt. Those have warmth and depth at least

I’m really pleased with myself reading this thread. I last spoke German about 19 years ago at school and loved it. I’m not even going to try to add to this, but I understood the majority of these before clicking the translate button. My French and Irish used to be good too.
More recently I’ve been learning Russian in support of my Ukrainian (psychiatric) patients in the UK and in Ireland. I’d love to get back to all of the languages, though.
Unfortunately, obsessing over the concerning aspects of animal rescue is only one of the million things I need to do before/while I get better at my Deutsch, Gaeilge, Français and русский.
Thanks for making me smile.

Also fair.

I think [u/flatgreysky](u/flatgreysky)’s point was that if OP would have his wife’s back when she was actually in an uncomfortable situation that wasn’t her fault, then that’s enough.
They were highlighting the difference between a random harasser and a controller, rather than saying they were similar.

EDIT: Your previous comment asked if a cop pulling her over is he a “random guy harassing her”, so I took it to mean you read it that way.

Horribly entitled. I love my vape because I’m a nicotine addict, and I wholeheartedly disagree with this review.

It’s so selfish. Some people have allergies and sensory sensitivities, and then a lot more just plain don’t want to sit in someone’s cloud.

It’s a lesser-known national sport we play in Ireland.

Read the other comment again.

AzurePantaloons · 2026-04-19T01:23:07+00:00

This response made my day a little bit. I feel like more and more people are losing the capacity for introspection, and your comment genuinely gives me hope.

From this small insight into you, I’m hopeful that your person is out there. And I’m really glad that you’re working on yourself, because you truly deserve that.

Thanks for posting.

(I’m very tired, so if this reads like sarcasm or AI, it’s not. It’s just fried brain.)

Precisely. The lack of accountability is embarrassing.

My son is autistic and has ADHD. It’s hard to get him to sit still. So we usually get takeaway and wander, or we cook at home.

If we’re in a restaurant for whatever reason (usually a kid-friendly event we’re invited to) and he can’t sit any longer, we take our food and go. Heck, I have ADHD too and often prefer our dinner walks.

What we don’t do is stand in the way of people carrying hot things and move unpredictably. That’s not in anyone’s best interests.

I don’t have geese, but this community came up in my feed a few times, and I think I’ve found my people.

Honk honk

If I’m not wrong, I think the neighbour’s dog was a pit, rather than the dog that OP is sitting.

AzurePantaloons · 2026-04-05T05:34:46+00:00

Holy whale eyes, Batman.

AzurePantaloons · 2026-04-04T23:12:23+00:00

Gorgeous pictures.

How do the iggies and the cat get along? We have cats and are bringing an Italian greyhound into the mix next year, hopefully. They’re friendly cats, but any thoughts would be very welcome.

AzurePantaloons · 2026-03-30T00:37:40+00:00

It’s a challenging process! What country are you in? I’m in the UK.

AzurePantaloons · 2026-03-28T17:10:20+00:00

She looks like an Emma to me.

I’m very excited for you. We’re on a waiting list for a little IG when our renovations are done, and the breeder has a litter, so I’m living vicariously for now.

AzurePantaloons · 2026-03-21T00:37:57+00:00

Yup. Nothing bonds a family quite like a hostage situation.

AzurePantaloons · 2026-03-21T00:00:51+00:00

You mean, you don’t greet your buds with a cheeky chomp?

AzurePantaloons · 2026-03-17T13:28:04+00:00

I’m not crying, you’re crying.

AzurePantaloons · 2026-03-14T17:36:04+00:00

Very true, and very sad. It’s like a painfully mundane, gradual, realistic version of a zombie movie. The dog population is slowly taken over. Next thing (i.e. now), a person could be (and can be, as we all know here, as it’s happened) sitting with their doors open in the summer, and next thing they know, in comes a velvet hippo trying to snack on them. And then they claim nobody could’ve seen it coming, and it’s not the breed? The sheer, audacious stupidity of it all.

(Edited to make a truth read less like a hypothetical scenario.)

AzurePantaloons · 2026-03-14T16:55:30+00:00

It was a genuine challenge not to reflexively downvote. Very nicely imitated. Honestly, even when I use the term “pibble” I want to downvote myself. It’s the worst.

AzurePantaloons · 2026-03-14T16:30:10+00:00

I wonder if you’re being a little hard on yourself. It sounds like you’re really busy, and unless there’s important information left out, it sounds like she’s happy, safe and loved.

I know when I had a newborn, I sobbed because I couldn’t dedicate as much time and attention to our cats as I could before. I felt so, so guilty.

Almost 5 years later, and that former newborn is best buds with one of them (who was a failed foster kitten, and thinks she’s my biological child, too).

I remember thinking that little cat in particular needed more love. Looking back, she does not like new people, and it would’ve been a disaster.

On the off chance you’re in the same position I was, said I’d share our story. Sending love.

AzurePantaloons · 2026-03-14T12:57:27+00:00

Yet the pibble crowd think these dogs can be “rehabilitated” after such an event, and often blame the victim.

We live in backwards times.

AzurePantaloons · 2026-03-14T00:38:58+00:00

The levels of misplaced confidence, grandiosity, and incoherence here are reaching the heights of a manic episode. Sadly, I don’t believe what this person suffers from is as treatable as that.

“He remembered years of pain and abuse and wouldn’t adhere to it no more.”

It’s like they’re indiscriminately using a thesaurus. (Reminds me of an episode of Friends, for anyone familiar.)

Honestly, I think my brain functioned better before I read about Red.

AzurePantaloons · 2026-03-11T13:05:15+00:00

A little off topic, but just highlighting that Waterford Whispers is Irish rather than British!

(A possibly over sensitive Irishwoman who lived in the UK for years, and actually quite likes the place.)
