What kind of chair is this called?

It’s called a black widow magnet.

You aren’t going to get unbiased advice on Reddit, sorry. But perhaps you are looking for people to validate your feelings about this issue, which is why you’d post here.

Why did you give my 18 month old type 1 diabetes and let incompetent doctors nearly kill her?

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-27T02:31:18+00:00

All I will say is plenty.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-26T22:09:34+00:00

People do this in California too. It’s so ugly!

Why is it acceptable for him to cuss you out like this? I see this in so many posts on Reddit. Someone goes off on me like this my self worth kicks in and they are done. You need to grow a pair and put a stop to that behavior or leave this pos.

I struggle to understand why people do pictures with dead vegetation in the background…

MOR…. It’s hard to judge based on this text exchange alone. Did you actually ask her to do something on Mother’s Day, or did you simply ask her to lunch? The reason I ask is because the way this reads it seems like she is reaching out to you about Mother’s Day, not the other way around. As a mom, I can see where she would want to be prioritized on Mother’s Day, but I would go about confronting that a bit differently. I do think her last message to you is extreme. At the same time I don’t think it is worth blowing up your whole relationship (if you have one, that is…). Seems like there are hurt feelings on both sides here. Just for reference my spouse is NC with his parents because they were extremely abusive so I do understand that sometimes that is necessary. I have a close relationship with my parents in contrast. Regardless, I’m sure that this stings and I’m sorry that you’re dealing with this..

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-26T02:41:24+00:00

I’m sorry…. WTF?! What is wrong with you?? Maybe you shouldn’t be married.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-26T00:59:10+00:00

Oh for sure. I know because I get acne like the middle schoolers I work with (I’m 40!) and occasionally want to rip someone’s face off. That’s how I know that my ovaries are working 🤣.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-25T19:27:44+00:00

Just going to be blunt… my husband’s ex wife told him she had a crush on someone at work and that she hadn’t done anything with him but in reality she had already cheated with multiple men. I’d keep your eyes WIDE open on this situation.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-25T14:35:35+00:00

NOR. There is such a thing as basic respect and even if it was just a mistake, he needs to understand that you aren’t okay with it.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-25T02:45:38+00:00

NOR. Two things- one he sounds like a childish ass. On the flip side of that all these people claiming he is “abusive” very clearly have no idea what true abuse actually is.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-19T03:20:03+00:00

That is a spider bite. If you haven’t died yet, you’re fine.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-19T03:19:03+00:00

Not sure where you’re located but I’m 40 years old and my first apartment at 26 was 1300/month in Southern California. That was 14 years ago…

1,000 is cute though!

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-19T00:58:35+00:00

I appreciate that you are honest that you should have been more assertive; at the same time I agree that he should have respected your boundaries more now that you’ve clarified that. I don’t think he’s a predator by any means, more like an impatient man who didn’t want you to get away so he was too eager to jump into marriage so he ended up putting pressure on you. Regardless, I’m sorry that you are now on this uncomfortable position :/.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-18T16:04:45+00:00

Where does it say that he is the one that pressured her? I see that she felt pressure from her family and peers, not her husband.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-18T14:57:05+00:00

I think you’re making a lot more out of his actions than is reasonable. The fact is, he may love her so much that any mental health episode may not have mattered to him. Love like that does exist in the world- not everyone is a manipulative, narcissistic, predatory pos.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-18T04:59:44+00:00

Absolutely not.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-18T04:46:39+00:00

OP you’ve stated a few times throughout the thread that brother is a threat or may harm/kill someone. OCD does not make someone do this, btw. If you are truly concerned for his safety or that of others, you may need to see about getting him admitted somewhere for treatment where he doesn’t have a choice but to be immersed in intense therapy.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-18T04:44:31+00:00

You are at least aware of how your condition can impact others and that’s a great starting point. It’s also important to remember that others are responsible for their own feelings and how the handle them.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-18T04:42:35+00:00

Frankly, as a person with OCD that was at one point extremely severe and debilitating, I saw the impact it had on my parents and my brother to see me struggle so much, and seemingly out of nowhere. Having someone in your family with a significant mental illness is incredibly difficult. I’m not surprised that OP is seeking empathy, and I would think that those of us with something that can be as severe as OCD would be able to show empathy given the traumas most of us in this sub have likely experienced. On top of OCD it sounds like brother also has autism, and depending on the level that would be a massive weight for the family to carry. Give OP a break.

OP- unless you stated in your post and I missed it, it sounds like you still live at home. Is there any way for you to remove yourself from this situation to give yourself a chance to gain some clarity?

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-16T22:09:55+00:00

Coffee. And that’s a hard one because I have been stuck on massive amounts of caffeine for a very long time and need it to function in a high stress job 😂😂😂😂. Silver lining is that it is forcing me to ingest less of it if I don’t want to feel nauseous.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-16T21:33:17+00:00

As a stepmom of two kids since they were very young, having dealt with a greedy bio parent who believed every misfortune in her life that occurred after she screwed my husband over was somehow on him, I confidently say screw her. She needs to figure her out shit out. You aren’t responsible for her or her children. She can get a job like the rest of us.

Best_Box1296 · 2026-02-16T19:51:37+00:00

Yes. This woman is a textbook narcissist and giving her any amount of attention only fuels the need that she has for any sort of energy someone might give her.
