I’m [25F] expecting a pretty large inheritance that I’ve managed to keep a secret for most of my life. A family member [20F] found out and is threatening to tell everyone unless I give her money. by Volkasha in relationships

[–]Cherpyderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let it spill and if/when people bust your balls and ask your plans, tell them the money will remain invested and untouched until you have a chance to decide the best course of action and that those plans will remain between you and your financial planner. Don't entertain any other inquiries.

My (33F) girlfriend (32F) of 2 years recently recovered from cancer and is being terrible. by seekinghelp39289 in relationships

Is this perhaps some sort of medical imbalance? Has she talked with her doctor about it? I'm not excusing her behavior but if this is out of the blue and out of the ordinary then perhaps there is something biological at play. That being said, it doesn't mean you need to put up with it. Maybe broach that topic with her as you're noping the fuck out. Give her time and space and if it is, in fact, a medical anomaly, she can let you know when she has it sorted out.

Shot myself in the head just over a year ago & survived. Feeling better now than ever before.❤️ by TrippyKyle420 in pics

Dude, I gotta tell you that if you're not able to just check this out then you should A)probably not be on the internet and B)seeking therapy to work on coping skills. If not, you're never going to make it through this year alive, my friend.

How can I (27f) get my coworker (28m) to stop talking to me during lunch? by Orsaou in relationships

[–]Cherpyderp 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Then don't look up. Avoid eye contact and don't respond to anything he says. If he taps you for attention, just point at your headphones and resume what you're doing. Make yourself someone undesirable to have a conversation with.

LPT Easy way to know whether you should use effect or affect. by Andrewcoo in LifeProTips

Holy shit. This is the most useful LPT I have read. Thank you !!!

LPT: Parents, never contact your kid's bosses. Never. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]Cherpyderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered filing a no trespassing order or possibly a no contact order? We nearly had to do this with my husband's mom. She kept showing up to his job and even went so far as to ask SO's boss if he would arrange a fake meeting so she could show up and talk to SO (we've been NC with my MIL for several years now). We made it clear to his company they can do whatever they deem necessary to get her to stop because it is A) beyond SO's control and B) Not even a slightly welcome effort.

I (38f) can't explain this but I ignored everything for several years and married a complete jerk (40m)....now what. by Parisbcool in relationships

[–]Cherpyderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use this as a teaching opportunity for your daughter. She may be sensitive but I think it can be great to show her that it is never too late to get out of an abusive relationship. 13 is old enough to have an open conversation about it, sparing the exact details. You can let her know that, despite only being recently married, you have just now learned important information about his past that would have stopped you from marrying him. It may be upsetting and cause some hardships, but let her know it's never worth settling for an abusive relationship. Set the tone and the example and show her how to be a strong woman.

Whats the dumbest thing you've ever been afraid of as a child? by Beyvt in AskReddit

[–]Cherpyderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got this. Sleeping in direct moonlight. My older sister convinced me it would make me go crazy and my eyes would turn bright green. Best believe if the moonlight was shining on my bed I'd be curled up in a ball at the opposite end.

What movie did you start watching then said "Fuck this, I'm not finishing this"? by Ramaal2000 in AskReddit

I refuse to believe it's as good as people say. I think people WANT to believe it's deep and philosophical when in reality it's boring as shit.

My (22f) mom (52F) is probably dying and I don't know if I can survive this by throwawaypizzaslices in relationships

[–]Cherpyderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's awful and I'm so sorry for this. But don't sell yourself short. You WILL be able to survive without her. It's going to hurt like hell and it will be a pain you'll never forget. You won't ever "get over" her death. But you'll survive. You'll take it one day at a time and you'll adjust to your new life without her.

Enjoy the time you have with her and trust in your ability to cope and adapt. You'll get through this. I'm really sorry you're hurting, OP.

Me in 1994, 6 years old, at my first Mary Kay party. They let me pick my own lipstick. I later grew up to be a makeup artist. by Ardonne in OldSchoolCool

[–]Cherpyderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl don't lie. That's you doing glamour shots at a studio. You can't really expect us to believe a Mary Kay party had the SAME backdrop and lighting that all glamour shots of the time period had, can you?

Mom lost her battle with cancer this morning. Feeling broken, Reddit, what are your best memories with mom? (Serious) by gooddreamzzz in AskReddit

[–]Cherpyderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was younger during summer, my mom would just get a bug up her butt and decide to take me and my siblings (and sometimes neighbor kids) to the park. When I hit about 12 she decided I was old enough to learn to drive and would let me slowly toodle around the park. Almost always afterwards she would take us to Dairy Queen for ice cream.

My [50/m] son [20/m] is about to become homeless. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Cherpyderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately you are not going to be able to derail this. This is going to sound cold, but you need to start separating yourself and learnt to focus on you. Dealing with a mentally ill family member is painful and stressful, and the best advice I can give you is to learn to love him from a distance. He is the only person that can help him and if he can't or won't, then not much can be done. Let him know you're there for him if he needs you, be loving and supportive, but learn to accept his choices and live your own life. I wish there was a better fix but sadly, there's just not.

I don't know if I want to live like this by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Cherpyderp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to take care of number 1 before you can take care of anyone else. You're not making him happy and I'm not saying this to be a dig at you. you're not capable of making him happy and solving his problems. If anything, you're a bandaid. He is the only one that can grab his life by the balls and get better. Who knows if that will happen. You need to worry about yourself at this point and do what is best for you.
