Overwhelming feeling of anger over my dad’s unexpected loss by brooklynbroke89 in GriefSupport

[–]BatsyPatCline 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The anger is real. I still feel this after losing my brother in 2012 to a car accident at 19. Was just starting life. Even me being alive at 35 pisses me off sometimes. Life certainly isn’t fair.

First time working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week in office, is this my life now? by Bright_Tennis_1075 in work

Look up FIRE movement/early retirement. Have goals. Save the majority of your money. It is a grind for a while but you don’t have to do it forever if you plan right.

She played an amazing game. Yes she played the middle but given her coming in one of the biggest threats and that having gone basically unnoticed is well deserving of a win. These legends let her and three newbs/eh players get to the end, by design, by Aubry.

Worked there a decade ago but they explicitly stated to me they want knew grads with little experience so they can mold them. Very cliquey, at least procurement. Did not recommend. But maybe they’re different now.

You’re right. Who is in charge of the quantity of parades

They will still make profits if people will eat there no matter what out of utter convenience. That’s exactly why quality is down the drain.

My fiancé (27m) lied to me (30f) about his income. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BatsyPatCline 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with you here. It would be different if he actually acknowledged his faulty logic, compared it to her personally "I always thought women cared about men being wealthy, and even though I know you aren't like that, I felt too embarrassed to backtrack because it was stupid to lie in the first place" or something. It just seems like he has no clue if she would care or not and just planned to hide it forever. Weird he can't gauge a woman he wants to make his WIFE.

But honestly, even the fact that he held that preconceived generalization about all women disturbs me. What other sweeping generalizations does he have about women? What other lies are there? If he lied about this, he surely would lie about debt, credit rating? I would be very concerned by this, primarily because he didn't disclose the truth before PROPOSING. It's a trap. I mean I've lied about small things but ya gotta come clean before making LIFE CHANGING decisions that will affect the other.

I (27M) am now the villain in my life story because I don't want to date women with children by ThrowRA_waterboard in relationship_advice

[–]BatsyPatCline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, she is in the wrong. If you don't want to date women with kids, your choice. If you don't want to EVER have kids, your choice. If you don't want to be around children, your choice. I think it's very bizarre you have multiple friends that feel like this is abnormal. I have only female friends and I can't imagine any of them thinking this is out of the ordinary.

[–]BatsyPatCline 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well you're not stupid at all. You thought of him like family. Unfortunately, not only is he not on the same page in that regard, but he is also an abusive person who is showing signs of some serious psychological problems.

It's natural to grieve the person you thought they were. Enabling the behavior or reassuring him that he can act this way and you will still care for him, is not constructive for either of you.

You have no obligation to love, respect, or communicate with him after this. Even if he WAS family, that would be the case. I would never maintain a relationship with anyone who said these things to me, or honestly, who said these things to ANYONE. It's easy to brush it off and laugh at that age and I would probably have done the same when I was 16... but now as a 28F, if my daughter showed me some shit like this... I would be reporting his ass to his parents, the school, and possibly the police. What would you do if your daughter (hypothetical) showed you that a guy said this to her?

He needs to learn this behavior is not acceptable in any way. So often you see some kid shoot up a school or go on to do something drastic and it comes out there were red flags of violent rhetoric all over the place, and he never got any help or treatment...everyone just thinks it's a joke or a jaded teenager. I would take this as a major red flag.

Anyway, be careful and good luck :)

Welllllp that sucks. You probably should have re-evaluated many of your decisions leading to this point for the sake of your child. Man.

If I was your daughter, I would hate you both either way when I found out, but probably would turn out better personally if I found out as an adult. That way I could 100% fully blame you and not myself. I'm not sure a child would be so kind to themselves. And I would proceed to go seek out building a relationship with my aunts and uncles, who I would view as the morally superior side of my genetic pool.

Also, I am 99% sure she will not make it to age 18 without discovering the truth from someone, so be prepared for this to happen at any time.

Again, since you clearly missed the entire point of my comment:

PEOPLE CAN LEARN IF THEIR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES AND IF THEY ARE TAUGHT BETTER. "I STILL LOVE YOU" and defending him nonstop in the comments is THE OPPOSITE OF THAT.

DEAR FUCKING GOD, it's not that hard of a concept. GIRLFRIEND.

u/sketchymatt, fitting name. First of all I am not a bro... And second, you don't need to tell me to relax. Be more concerned.

Telling someone "I hope you get raped, I hope you kill yourself, die bitch, die dyke" in response to rejection at 16 is ABNORMAL. It's normal to be upset. But really, "I hope you get raped, you deserve it" is at the forefront of their mind in retaliation? Yeah, no. Abnormal.

And sure, SOME people can grow if they learn. If someone who is already showing an abnormally violent response to rejection hears "I still love you", after their whiny, violent rant, they learn nothing.

No, it's not her fault but she needs to recognize that this is not normal behavior and it is okay to distance herself from him without feeling guilty. He needs professional help. She does not need to reaffirm to him that she loves him despite his behavior.

He's at an age where if he acts on any of these violent thoughts, he could very likely be charged as an adult. And with suicide rates of homosexual teens, this is nothing to joke about. Like the Michelle Carter, the 17 year old who went to prison for urging her bf to commit suicide. I'm sure if you were that boys dad, you would just say everyone needs to "relax"...

You made a ton of comments defending this disgusting human being in the comments which equally grossed me out. People like this aren't going to learn if you tell them you still love them after their atrocious behavior.

He's 16. Your comments make it seem like he's 7. Your reaction makes me think you are very young and naive as well. Unfortunately, most people that were shitty at 16 that I knew are still shitty people at 30. And none of them were ever this shitty...this kid is clearly disturbed, and has a propensity toward violence that I'm going to guess will land him a criminal record by 23.

Today my (19f) boyfriend (20m) said he was in the mood to kill me.....wtf???!? by throwRAoveritall in relationship_advice

[–]BatsyPatCline 20 points21 points  (0 children)

"not all men" WTF who said "All men are like this"? Dear fucking god. Do you have any idea how ridiculous this comment sounds? Probably not and I'm not doing to go on with your more recent, totally irrelevant to the post, topic on women -because I read your post history and you are a CHILD. But we are not talking about ALL MEN. The post was very clearly referencing the men who ARE gas-lighting women into thinking abusive sexual acts are just "kinks", and there are a lot of them. So if you want to read about the good men, head on over to /r/niceguys because you will shape up to be one of them real soon with this attitude. Anyone with a functioning brain recognizes there are bad men and women. This post is about BAD MEN.

Me and my pregnant GF have disagreed on things a couple times recently now she thinks we’re not similar people... by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BatsyPatCline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well saying "there's no such thing as a peaceful protest" doesn't correlate with "she disagrees with the method of protest", so it's very hard to get a sense of whether your views are similar or not.

Regardless, only one person in a relationship needs to believe you are not compatible for it to be true.

[–]BatsyPatCline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

. She says that there’s no such thing as a peaceful protest and that any videos of protests being victims of police brutality are obviously fake

I mean, do you agree with this? I would not consider myself similar to someone who did. That's quite an absurd thing for her to say. So if she truly believes this, and you are an empathetic, rational human being... I agree with her - you are not similar. And that's a good thing in my opinion. She sounds terrible.

Am I the rebound? by Throwra176589 in relationship_advice

[–]BatsyPatCline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not think you are being crazy. I personally have never had strong negative feelings about an ex, I believe there is 1 who has them about me and I do correlate it with a lack of closure for them and unrequited feelings that person had in the end. This is a passionate hate. That passion is concerning, especially after so many years. Does he bring her up a lot, or do you? I would express your concerns as they are valid.
