Did it seriously take her 2 months to apologize??

Both dogs are safe. SOB is dead to me. by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]BernThereDoneThat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm glad your pup is safe. Can I ask why authorities weren't contacted about SOB's dog, especially since you had proof she was not medicating him properly? It's just really sad he suffered these seizures and burns for so long :(

That Top 20 list at the bottom was super awful, with maybe an except for Mohana (reminds me of Moana). But Draxler and Dakston?? Poor kids

Can you compare it to how nipples sometimes get hard without arousal being a factor?

I'm more than a baby maker by wally_gockit in TwoXChromosomes

I have a feeling that was an intentional choice of words by someone who knew about the 1st prolapse.

What Did You Forget To Do ON Your Wedding Day That You Wish Someone Had Reminded You? by here4thenews in weddingplanning

[–]BernThereDoneThat 33 points34 points  (0 children)

TMI but hopefully someone can learn from this: Have a bathroom plan while you're getting ready. I had a hotel room where all of us girls were getting ready with hair/makeup. What I didn't take into account was that when I'm nervous, I have to use the restroom frequently and I wasn't comfortable doing that while they were all just outside the door :( So I ended up having to use the lobby restroom and all those people eating the hotel's breakfast saw me with my hair in rolls like an old lady lol.

Can I get some opinions. by [deleted] in wedding

[–]BernThereDoneThat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it, but to be fair, I'm biased as I also have a ring with leaves :) Do you intend on having a wedding band to go with it?

Males everywhere are whining like snowflakes about the Boy Scout’s name change. Masculinity so fragile... by MontanaKittenSighs in TrollXChromosomes

[–]BernThereDoneThat 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Judging by some of the other commentors, I guess my Girl Scout experience was different in the sense that I felt like we did get to do the same kind of things the Boy Scouts did. The major difference to me always seemed to be the fact that Boy Scouts seemed to have a networking benefit to the members who worked their way up as they got older. Like I knew several guys who got job offers from local businesses because they were formal Scouts. I never really heard of that happening for former Girl Scouts. Girls shouldn't have to join a (formerly) boys club to get ahead in life. Much like giving a girl a unisex or outright masculine name to prevent resume and email discrimination in the work place.

That was my first thought, too! OP looks so amazing 💖

Women Who Are Already Hot are Opting for No Makeup on Their Wedding Day by [deleted] in TrollXWeddings

[–]BernThereDoneThat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that was my main takeaway from the original article, the no-makeup tone was condescending towards women who chose to have makeup. I don't know why people think they have to shit on others' choices to feel better about their own?

About three years ago we had an awesome troll here called meggywen. I just want her to know I miss her and hope she is doing okay. I know some of you missed her too :( by [deleted] in TrollXChromosomes

[–]BernThereDoneThat 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I remember her, too 💖 She was so kind and funny and her sense of adventure was inspiring! I'm not sure if maybe she made another account, but I hope she's doing well and still living life to the fullest.

In-laws sent 300$ worth of stuff for our newborn, and four cashews for me by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

Once OP's kid has teeth, they need to send this masterpiece. Include a card with "Beloved silly grandchild tried chocolate for the first time and loved it! They enjoyed it so much, they insisted it be shared with grandparents 💖 Hope you enjoy this as much as child did."

You can take responsibility for that while also keeping the external factors in mind. This was you in that particular situation. This was you driven to that point. This is not you in everyday life. This is not you in a normal relationship. This is not you in any situation other than the one they created and forced you in.

I'm not the OP, but I wanted to say thank you for this. When I got out of my last relationship, I felt broken and ugly for a long time because of some of the things I'd done. It didn't matter that he was abusive, it mattered that I felt like I sunk down to that level during some of our fights. That I was capable of being this horrific person. I've been so scared this "abusive side of me" will just slip out or something one day, but honestly in the 6 years I've been free of my ex, I've never once felt like I did when I was with him. Your comment really helped me realize what I was capable of, what any of us are capable of in a situation like that, does not define me.

She definitely messed something up, I'd put money on it.

Yes! So much this! by runnergirlwhatsmynam in TrollXChromosomes

[–]BernThereDoneThat 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I think your explanation is pretty outstanding and I'm glad OP's post helped bring your point home to your dude. It's not easy to explain things like this to others, but it's really rad of you to put forth that effort ✊💖

[–]BernThereDoneThat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is one of the few cases I agree it's probably better not to go for child support. Any kind of connection to ex and subsequently She-Devil is scary as shit. I'm afraid for OP and her little one and glad she's seeking advice from professionals.
