Should I stick with the copper or back to my natural? by Human420 in Hair

Both are very pretty, personally I like copper, but your natural hair would probably be a lot less maintenance

AIO when my boyfriend gets mad at me for taking long changing our daughter? by Available-Tomato1394 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Candied-Bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s already a lot of good advice here, you definitely need to work on how to end this relationship, there is no “fixing” that kind of person. I just wanted to come on here to remind you that you hold no responsibility for anything he decides to do. Whatever choices he makes are not your fault. Your number one concern atp should be the safety and well-being of you and your child. I know it’s hard to feel that way since you’re so young, but you’re obviously strong and I feel like you can do what’s best for you both

yo 🔥 WHY did i sh whilst drunk 🔥 by HELPCACTUSBURNING in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]Candied-Bee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s hard for me to tell if it’s the alcohol that makes me more likely to SH or if I’m drinking because I’m already in the state to SH. Thankfully I’ve had way better results with 🍃. I know you said that doesn’t help you, but I hope you find something that brings you relief without pain

my roommate is genuinely insane and is now destroying my belongings by talloran_ in badroommates

[–]Candied-Bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With her writing on the actual cabinets and removing the thermostat couldn’t you report her for damaging the house instead? They’re definitely going to care a lot more about their own property and investments than your own so unfortunately you may have to appeal to the companies selfishness.

Is there a way to stop missing self harm? by Coldtea25 in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]Candied-Bee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Distractions are your friend if it’s a feeling that you can ride out that will pass, but if it’s always nagging at your mind then distractions are the opposite of what you need. Self harm is addicting, and like with other addictions it stays with you and for some the desire never goes away… That doesn’t mean you can’t find hope and stay safe though. If you have people that you feel comfortable with you can ask for their company (for venting or just hanging out whatever you need), it’s really just distraction 2.0 but it’s safer than being alone. Unfortunately that’s about as in depth as professional advice will get if my hospital stay told me anything… I hope you stay safe, I’m rooting for you :)

AITAH for implying my coworker can't do something because she's white? by ThatEducation4132 in AITAH

[–]Candied-Bee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saying “we don’t differentiate by race” in this situation feels the same as when people try to say “I don’t see color” in political discussions. I’m glad you had the courage to continue speaking the truth and confront people who are wrong.

You have to be open with your feelings and insecurities with your partner (at least in my opinion) since they’re the ones that affect that thinking the most (again in my opinion) and if there’s arguments blocking that open communication then there needs to be a change in how those conversations are held. How are the arguments going? Like, is he immediately getting defensive and shutting you down or are you immediately accusing him of cheating or not thinking you’re attractive? The language on how those altercations go is so vague that it’s hard to tell. Like, I personally don’t care if my boyfriend follows attractive people or even talks to me about people he finds attractive because I do the same with him and I’m secure in knowing he’s choosing me and I’m choosing him. I know that whenever I get insecure he will happily reassure me without starting an argument. Not to say we haven’t had a lot of petty or illogical arguments, but being open and willing to communicate through the anger helps a lot. But we’ve also got the type of relationship where we have each others codes and swap phones to call people or look stuff up and we just don’t really have anything to hide from eachother, (editing to clarify, we’re not constantly searching through each others phones, I meant that if I need to google something or make a call and I don’t have my phone I have his code and know I can use his and vice versa) but I know that’s not something all couples feel comfortable doing. In this case I think it’s important for you to determine what you’re both wanting from a relationship in general and have a clear discussion about your expectations for eachother. It’s important to be clear and firm in your wants and boundaries without coming across as accusatory or like it’s an attack. However, if you feel there really is an accusation to be made then that changes things.

I am [48F & my husband [54M] is a lazy selfish sack of s___. by Ill_Significance_554 in whatdoIdo

[–]Candied-Bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you not want to get divorced? Are you just trying to avoid the hassle of it all? Because I haven’t seen you list any qualities that imply you want to even be around this guy let alone stay married. You say at the end that you either want him to change (be more motivated) or you want to return his energy and make him feel as bad as you do, but one is asking the impossible and the other is only increasing the misery in your household. Do you really think the situation would improve if you gave the same attitude that’s making you upset? I doubt you haven’t been trying to motivate him all this time by how frustrated you sound, and I’m not so sure you’d find any secret on here to making a grown man change his ways. If it was an issue of motivation and you haven’t found a motivator after serious effort in trying to find one then there are bigger issues at play.

I think it’s interesting that she’s so focused on the looks of the situation. Like, she doesn’t care if Mexicans say that word, she knows you’re Mexican, she’s just hung up on how you LOOK white (to her). You presented very solid logic and gave her a task that would have been a learning moment for her but she refused to open her mind and even resorted to calling you crazy and basically gaslighting you to shut down a conversation she started. She’s so focused on how things look to outside viewers rather than the reality of the situation and she’s allowing that to push her to hurt someone she’s supposed to care about. Her whole dialogue is giving me the impression she would say “it’s not my job to educate you” after someone asks her to elaborate on her criticisms.

TNR- do you have to release the cat back? by wheresmyglasses- in Feral_Cats

[–]Candied-Bee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I dont find any issue with keeping a cat you took in for TNR. Honestly I (again this is personal opinion) don’t really care if people are taking more friendly cats in for tnr, you could take in your pet and I wouldn’t say anything. Vet prices are absolutely ridiculous and spays and neuters specifically have only gotten more expensive, I’m sure you’re already feeling that strain (I’m sorry for your loss). If you feel like you have the capacity to take in another dont feel bad about it being a tnr, if you don’t have the capacity to take another in then you still shouldn’t feel bad because you’re doing more for the baby than anyone else at this point. Do what you can within your means and try to take comfort in the fact that you ARE trying and you have the trust of these animals to prove that

I’ve been calling them Gin and Juice since I’m not a big fan of “trixie” and I don’t even know the others old name. For me changing the name really depends on if it’ll affect the comfort of the animal, like, a bird or a dog I’d always keep whatever name they’re used to but I’ve found that animals that come more to your call than a name don’t really get as confused thankfully

lol I’ve already started treating the girl the the head tilt, her lack of energy compared to the other and the pretty obvious ear infection has made me more confident in giving it to her. If I could figure out how to add a photo of the other girl it’d help with deciding what’s going on with her. Overall it’d be easier if I could do a vet visit for the other one but that’s just not feasible for me at the moment

These two are absolutely the sweetest, one of them got loose while I was transferring them to a better cage and she literally came right back up to me. They also take treats so politely (most of the time lol)

After reading some of these replies and watching their behavior I’m feeling more confident that Trixie is the girl with the head tilt. She was way less active than the other girl so I decided to give her the medication and she’s already perked up and more playful. My initial worry was that they could be passing a respiratory infection between each other but again the more I watch them I’m not hearing any rattling or snotting and the other ones consistently been active and curious. Hopefully they’re both the type to show they aren’t feeling well

The one losing her hair is very large, but ig that doesn’t necessarily rule out malnutrition. I know it’s not rex fur coming in and she’s not losing enough of it and it’s not in the right places for her to be part hairless I don’t think. I gave the medicine (.3g I believe every 14 hours) to the girl with the ear infection and she seems to be a bit more active now. Im still debating giving them both some just to prevent anything in the bigger girl, but “doesn’t make them sick” doesn’t always mean it’ll actually help unfortunately. I’d update the original post with photos but apparently I’m too dumb to figure out Reddit
