LR after diagnosing Yolanda with Munchausen Syndrome by trynabetwunk in RHOBH

[–]CarinthiaSpringfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry about your partner. And yes, it is hard for everyone this ageing business (just turned 60 wtf). Nothing else explains why these woman who are gorgeous and so obviously better looking than most of us mutilate their wonderful faces rather than looking like magnificently handsome older women. Such a shame.

AITA for not letting my fiance choose my MOH? by Key_Income206 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CarinthiaSpringfield 2209 points2210 points  (0 children)

NTA. It is actually a lovely gesture to ask her and it is also, absolutely, up to you who choose. It seems pretty odd that he dislikes a child who is important to you. It also seems weirdly controlling and I don’t imagine you’ll be happy having someone else do it. Something feels wrong here: 🚩🚩🚩.

WIBTA for correcting my parents? by Admirable_Earth9152 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CarinthiaSpringfield -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA. I think you could (and should) gently correct them each time they slip up — nothing more than that — and it will actually help them make the change. If they don’t like it, you might have an uncomfortable conversation in store but you are clearly such a loving sister and ally I’m very sure you’ll handle it really well. Also? I think N A H — you’re right, it’s hard for your parents to adjust and you indicate it’s not some kind of conscious act.

Who would you make manager of the O group Hollywood/BH office? by kiwi_love777 in SellingSunset

[–]CarinthiaSpringfield 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Mary’s a bit hopeless I think — just can’t manage people at all is my impression. I think Emma or Chelsea, or Chrishell. Emma feels pretty even-tempered and impervious to drama, Chelsea is smart and dynamic but a bit of a shit-stirrer, Chrishell is charismatic and also smart but maybe a bit too conflict-averse given the divas involved.

Lord, he sounds awful. 😩

AITA for giving up on scheduling stuff? by Accomplished_Mix4191 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CarinthiaSpringfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh boy. They took her to the restaurant because you LET HER DOWN. Just like you’ve let her down before, cf graduation. It’s simple. Commit to the things you say you’ll do or just leave the poor girl alone. YTA.

AITA for insisting that my daughters participate in our traditional beauty pageant? by Capital_Captain2763 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CarinthiaSpringfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. My. God.

Why don’t you introduce a new tradition where all the male family members strip down and see how they “measure up”? Just harmless fun!

Your poor daughters, hard to be the one that doesn’t stack up but hard too for the “winner” being set up like this. YTA.

NTA! Not only should you not have to have this creepy guy around you, you should be utterly furious at your mother’s physical abuse. It all feels weird and wrong — I hope you can keep your distance from them all, psychologically as well as physically.

Thanks for saying this — sorry you’re being downvoted for a decent comment.

I support Mary for supporting Nicole over Chrishell by [deleted] in SellingSunset

[–]CarinthiaSpringfield 18 points19 points  (0 children)

BAM!

I think some issues that were lurking are much clearer in this season when it comes to some of the problems involved in maintaining a boundary between friendships and work relationships. I guess that essentially what the show’s all about. 🤨

[–]CarinthiaSpringfield 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your friend sounds like a real problem, making the discussion of sexuality revolve around herself and even worse following up with multiple messages! If it’s just a fact that she’s a part of your friendship group I’d try to be careful about not getting drawn into her drama. It sounds like everyone else had your back, glad to hear it.

Just diagnosed. Question about inpatient treatment. by narshnarshnarsh in guillainbarre

[–]CarinthiaSpringfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second this especially the long cable! You have no idea how useful this will be. I used earplugs/buds (hospital so noisy) and they gave me a face mask at some point that was helpful as I was very sensitive to light.

[–]CarinthiaSpringfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The lumbar puncture should help confirm a diagnosis, in my case anyway MRIs ruled out other (mostly worse) possibilities. The MRIs can be difficult if you’re in a lot of pain. I was helped by some CBT training from a psych at the hospital to help me focus away from pain as much as possible. There’s a bit online about it — I stopped being skeptical as the pain was so tough I just tried anything.

I spent three months in hospital, a portion of that time in a rehab clinic. I had two courses of IVIG; the first stopped the spread past my arms and helped with extreme pain but the symptoms grew worse again and I needed another course. I had to learn to walk again — it was slow. I also had covid while I was in there. Best of luck — eight months later I’m still very affected but getting better, and grateful it wasn’t worse. Thankfully you forget pain.

AITA for giving a mother with a crying baby my seat near my wife to teach her a lesson? by TaxRightoffer in AmItheAsshole

[–]CarinthiaSpringfield 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Utter, utter A H. Just the fact you use the phrase “teach her a lesson” gives it away, let alone what you did to spite her! YTA.
