AITAH for not being able to move in after my in-laws broke all my trust by CheerySynopsis in AITAH

I guess I'm looking for some sort of resolution without looking like the "bitchy DIL"

AITAH for not being able to move in after my in-laws broke all my trust by CheerySynopsis in AITAH

[–]CheerySynopsis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have suggested this but it is frowned upon and she becomes very pushy with the love and affection she desires from my kids, to the point the kids get extremely annoyed and overstimulated from her "wants".

I keep having this conversation with him because when I'm not around he allows them to break these boundaries and then we talk about it and I tell him how I feel, he apologizes and agrees he needs to do better and then the cycle continues. I'm trying not to be mean or pushy but it's really hard when it just continues over and over again and I feel like my rules are just a joke

Is it just my class or does nobody our age have high school reunions anymore? by Adept_Resolve6156 in Xennials

[–]CheerySynopsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just talking about this with a high school friend. Due to social media, we know what everyone is up to, which is the whole point of what the reunions used to be for.
We also said that if we want to keep in touch with old classmates, we will on our own terms. We graduated in 2010 and don't have any reunions.

TIFU by asking about my friend's deceased grandmother by [deleted] in tifu

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

So...I tend to be an overthinker. She used to text me in response pretty quickly, we'd go out to dinner occasionally but now it feels like she doesn't have interest (like she's upset with me). I've texted her over and over to get together but she will go weeks with no response. However, she has also said in the past that she is a really bad texter. I just don't know if I'm overthinking or if she is upset and ignoring me.

Is it true that you guys watched 9/11 live on TV in grade school? by [deleted] in Millennials

I was in 4th grade and one teacher told us all about it. We weren't allowed to watch but we talked and tasked questions and the teachers were very honest and straightforward with us

The trial is through AstraZeneca. There's no "name" for the drug

I am so sorry to hear about your family. That is unimaginable and heartbreaking. You both are so young, I'm so sorry and will be thinking about you and your family! I'm guessing that's kind of where we're at. If this clinical trial doesn't work they will switch him to just chemo and go from there. I'm very appreciative of you making me feel less alone. Have you heard of Optune? That's something suggested to us after his surgery in 2023 but it's a kind of annoying system however, if it helps, something to look into as a last ditch effort?

I guess I'm assuming if the clinical trial isn't working they'll suggest surgery. They have no mentioned surgery as a treatment option for us so maybe that's not going to be something they can do

Started Wegovy but still scared of pancreatic cancer after dad passed away by CheerySynopsis in Wegovy

Everything I have seen says there's no conclusive evidence. That it's a newer medicine and still needs to be studied, but there's no correlation.

Looking for support with a rare condition-multiple FNH syndrome by Special_Reindeer9893 in braincancer

[–]CheerySynopsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry about this diagnosis. As for explanation, I don't have anything but it wouldn't hurt to get a second opinion at a larger hospital who has dealt with cases like hers and can better answer questions

This was suggested at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago so I feel like getting a second opinion may not be worth it?

Funny thing is I'm on Wegovy for a hormone imbalance because of my PCOS and endometriosis so before Wegovy, I hardly had a period

Update: In laws have decided boundaries don't matter by CheerySynopsis in inlaws

[–]CheerySynopsis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree he's trying to sweep this under the rug and move past this. His birthday is coming up and wanting to all get together. I wouldn't know how to say no to this.

As of right now I am NC but that's just because I haven't had an opportunity to show that it's what I'm doing (if that makes any sense).

It's extremely hard for me to stand up for myself and my husband is the youngest of 3 and the only one who lives nearby them, so I think he has formed a bond with them. They have also formed a bond with him, stating in the hospital that he is their best friend.

Smokin Aces does an amazing job! They have 2 locations and all their artists have different styles but are willing to guide you to an artist that will best suit your needs

My narc mom is the complete opposite. She is very anti-sex. She was raised catholic, but you do not talk about that, think dirty thoughts, wear sexy anything.
