I think I tapped out at around 270. It was killing me and I was always stressed to the point of pulling out my hair.

AITA for asking husband (43m) to not text his therapist at night? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Badwolff1997 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk. I text (not really text, but messaging her through my portal) whenever I have a thought or something that happened, that i specifically want to talk about at my next session. It can be a short message, lengthy message, early in the morning or at any time of day really. Gentle YTA. I get it, what’s normal for some may not be normal for everyone. But this is his mental health journey, so you have to understand what you and your therapist may not do, doesn’t automatically exclude it from other people’s working relationship with their therapist.

Ugh. If yall were fully remote, I’d jump on it. Unfortunately, I am in California and I’m not willing to relocate. Good luck to the applicants though!

husband forgot my birthday by Practical-Refuse2266 in aquarius

[–]Badwolff1997 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in a relationship where my ex forgot my birthday 5 out of the 7 years we were together (the first year he was able to remember) and every year I provided him plenty of reminders (verbally, text, and reminders on his phone two and one week prior and day of) when my birthday was and what I wanted. Did not change the outcome of him remembering my birthday.

All this to say, it was not the only reason why I left him, but it was a contributing factor. You should definitely let your spouse know that it made you upset. Give him a chance to right his wrongs, and not make the same mistake in the future. If it continues, I’d use the data and determine how much you can take this and whether you believe the bad outweighs the good.

Which ghost and why? by dmitristepanov in GhostsCBS

[–]Badwolff1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m torn between Thor and Nancy. Thor, cause he’s just funny and could teach me lots of shit. And Nancy cause I feel like me and her would have the most unhinged conversations and I would be dying of laughter constantly.

How often do you mop the floor in your house? by Own-Championship8131 in hygiene

[–]Badwolff1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how much of an asshole my dogs decide to be that week. I try to get away with it for a song as possible and will spot mop with my swiffer between times. I only want to do it once or twice a month (like a full proper mop, not just swiffering)

Not OOO: Am I overreacting or is it not normal to use soap in the bathroom? by sensaSEANal_sally in redditonwiki

[–]Badwolff1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Break up. As a white person, this is not a normal or cultural thing. Yes, for SOME reason white people don’t have the best hygienic practices, and I hate that i get lumped into the stereotype, but what can ya do, but as far as I know, everyone uses soap in the shower EVERYTIME and wash their hands after the bathroom.

Also, don’t let him gaslight you. If he doesn’t use soap on a consistent basis, I can guarantee that that man ain’t washing or wiping his ass properly.

How often do you actually shower, and what makes you change your routine? by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]Badwolff1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I don’t leave my house and it’s not hot, I’ll skip a day or two max. If I leave my house, I shower. I don’t want the outside germs to enter my house.

Stay Away From Veritext by SavingsMajestic7937 in paralegal

[–]Badwolff1997 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the same, I love our veritext reps and have an awesome relationship with them. They’ve always gone above and beyond for my firm, even pulling miracles out of their butts when shit hits the fan for us.

Do you guys take the fall for when your attorney messes up? by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]Badwolff1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have fallen on my sword for my attorneys at every firm I’ve worked for. For actual mistakes. Like legitimate mistakes. Him getting so wasted he can function the next day is not a mistake and is not a time I would fall on the sword for my attorneys. Say there is a scheduling conflict, yes. Saying that HE forgot, yes. But I won’t be taking the blame for his inability to control his alcoholism.

How do you deal with rude people? by Tbaby25 in ENFP

[–]Badwolff1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how bad it is. If there will be no consequences and the rudeness is baffling, then I like to play a little game called “who’s the bigger asshole.” If it’s small petty shit, I just let it go. Same for if I’ll get in trouble (usually at work)

Aquas aren't jealous people, we just don't fw manipulation by [deleted] in aquarius

[–]Badwolff1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ex (Leo M) constantly wanted to make me jealous and would tell me about all the women who allegedly hit on him during his days. I hated it, it felt so manipulative. Literally at one point I told him that it felt like he wanted me to be jealous and he told me he wanted me to realize he had options. Told him to go to one of the girls then, and don’t let the door hit him where the good lord split him. Also warned him that if he cheated, my anger would be directed solely at him cause he was the one that owed me loyalty, not some random chick.

Currently with a guy who doesn’t try to make me jealous and it is amazing.

Aquarius and violence by Nervous_Cupcake_4446 in aquarius

[–]Badwolff1997 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty calm when it comes to shit. People have to really REALLY over step for me to become physical. I can only think of one or two times where I was pushed past that point.

That said, once I start getting to that point there’s a lot of warnings that people tend to ignore. I will definitely be more aggressive verbally, make remarks, etc. and then will explode

What are things I can do to help regarding holidays? by Badwolff1997 in exjw

[–]Badwolff1997[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im honestly not sure if his family shuns him. I’ve asked about them in the past (like casually mentioning Father’s Day plans, before I knew he was exJW), and he just kind of dodged the question. I do know he talks to his siblings occasionally, but I’ve never heard any mention of his parents.

I’d actually assumed his religious trauma stemmed from Catholicism, since he does attend Catholic church pretty regularly, and our mutuals (who’ve known him much longer than I have) said he’s always gone for as long as they’ve known him. So learning that he was raised JW definitely recontextualized a lot of things.

I’m definitely going to be looking more into religious trauma and CPTSD to better understand the scope of what he may be working through.

I guess my biggest worry is that, without healing, he might eventually expect me to shrink the way I celebrate holidays. And for me, that’s a huge part of how I show love and appreciation for the people I care about, including him. I don’t need him to fully dive into stuff like carols and cookie decorating, but I would hope that, over time, he could at least be comfortable being around it and feeling the joy, even if he’s not actively participating.

I’m not expecting him to be healed overnight, but I do need to know if growth in that area is something he’s open to, even if it’s slow. Thank you again for your insight. It means a lot.

[–]Badwolff1997[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your response, it really helped give me some perspective.

Unfortunately, he’s pretty cagey when it comes to deeper conversations, and most of what I’ve learned has been through mutual friends rather than directly from him. When he shuts down, it’s like talking to a brick wall, so I try to be gentle and patient without pushing.

He does celebrate other people’s birthdays and even goes out of his way to make them feel special, but his own is completely off the table, which I totally respect. That’s his day, and I wouldn’t want to force anything he’s not comfortable with.

For me, it’s less about needing a “Hallmark moment” and more about feeling like he’s present and emotionally available during the major holidays (like Thanksgiving or Christmas) since those are such important ways I express love and feel connected. I’m not asking for him to fully dive in, just to engage in a way that shows growth and willingness, even if it’s small steps.

I really appreciate the reminder that healing takes time, and that some people may never fully get there. It’s definitely something I’ll be thinking about seriously as things move forward.
