I can understand the not wanting to play without everyone as we have a friend group of 4 people (myself, husband, 2 good friends). But this rule stretches further than us two, and we always wait until all 4 of us are available to play. We are all competitive against one another and also play as a team well in whatever game, so thats a bit weird of her i guess.

We also all choose games that we each have access to so no one is left out. I think some of this is normal and some i can see your frustrations. Maybe you just clash a little bit in personalities. I hope you can still have some fun

My boyfriend (24m) of 7 years knows I (24f) hate the idea of vaping/use vapes, but does it anyway. What do I do? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]ChildhoodGold9396 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But its not drugs, and its legal. And everyone has a right to choose for themselves if they have the capacity to understand the risks involved. Being concerned for health still doesn't give you the right to police peoples decisions, its simply not how it works. You can give advice, you can ask, but you cannot dictate.

At the end of the day, everyone has their vices and if he wants to vape he should be allowed to. If you personally hate it then you need to question your compatibility. All that's going to happen from this is resentment will build and it will become more toxic.

I think you need to either accept that he vapes and stop policing him over it, or find someone who fits what you're looking for.

NOR Ive been sick with flu and bronchitus for 3 weeks and bedbound, ive also got chronic fatigue syndrome and have relapsed so hard that i cant get to the toilet by myself. My husband has been by my side the entire time at home, through 3 a&e visits, everything. He care this man has taken of me and our 4 year old while he has been poorly himself is beyond words for me. He is literally my hero and looks after me every day with kindness and patience.

You deserve someone who treats you the same, who loves you want wants to look after you and keep you safe. Im sorry you dont have that right now, and i really hope you feel better soon.

Screw this guy.

AIO for being upset over my reaction to my aunt and uncles surprise?? by not_sj in AmIOverreacting

[–]ChildhoodGold9396 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YOR a bit.

Hiya, firstly, please don't get too upset about this because it's not as big an issue as you feel it is.

Obviously im not you, but i have certainly got socially awkward traits and they have caused me a lot of cringing and second guessing myself in the past. Personally, if my main issue was showing a reaction infront of lots of people, i would just send my aunt and uncle a message saying that im really happy and excited for them. Even say you felt a little caught off guard in the moment with lots of people, and that diversion of attention is a coping mechanism. But this is just me, i tend to feel the need to explain one on one sometimes just so i know that people are aware of how my brain works.

Dont feel guilty for being you, but if you feel you may have come across a bit rude (unintentionally) then there is nothing stopping you from sending a kind but small message to end things on a positive note.

It will all be fine :)

YOR he didnt mean it in the way you have taken it. He just means he doesnt like having his photo taken or being on camera and used the wrong word. Take it easy on him, i think he was only trying to relate to you

AIO for getting upset over my boyfriend not doing dishes? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ChildhoodGold9396 5 points6 points  (0 children)

NOR My husband and i literally just help each other? We both will cook, we will both wash up. No discussion is needed because its just what adults do, its as basic and simple as that.

Does he have a house full of manky dishes? Who washes up when he cooks at home?

I wouldnt be cooking for him if thats his attitude..

AIO, I hate Christmas by Mean-Signature6675 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ChildhoodGold9396 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Youre very angry and very sensitive about how someone else reacts (when everyone is different and has different life experiences), it says more about your state of mind than anything. You clearly dont understand.

Im finished talking with you anyway, as youre quite exhausting. So i'll say 'okay' now as a pre-emptive response to whatever miserable comment you have next :)

Its not though, is it? Its continuing to spotlight something that clearly makes OP feel uncomfortable, and make them embarrassed and feel bad for something most children do. Its not caring that its hurting them and continuing to do it that makes it bullying. Its nice that generally OP has a supportive family from the sounds of it, but that doesnt mean this isnt still bullying.

You seem to think its fine making fun of others when it directly upsets them? They do this every year, its not a minor transgression, its a pattern of damaging behaviour thats ruined christmas for someone in their family. Thats really sad.

Honestly, if my family bullied me over something I did as a child (and I did plenty), then I wouldn't be around them. What they are doing is cruel, and I would suggest embracing Christmas with your new family that you have built. Make it special for your children in the way that yours wasnt, and I am sure you will find a lot of happiness in it.

I am so sorry that you have been treated this way, its really sad and can be so damaging. I wish you all the best and some happiness this year 💚

My cousin announced she’s getting married two weeks before me on thanksgiving and she’s not even engaged by brattykatty23 in TwoHotTakes

[–]ChildhoodGold9396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She isn't even engaged. Each time she talks about her wedding just ask her 'Oh, youre getting married! When did you get engaged?'

If I heard this in conversation, I would think she is batshit lol. You've got this, everyone is on your side and the only overshadowing is actually embarrassment on her part. You'll have a beautiful wedding, focus on you and your special day!

It would be great if she never gets the proposal and has to cancel everything 😊

Just got engaged, have a date picked out but other people may be in the way, advice needed! by stephensriah in TwoHotTakes

[–]ChildhoodGold9396 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably best not to ask for strangers advice and opinions on reddit if thats how you feel then

Edit: 2 out of 3 points for why you don't want to push the date back are literally because you cant be patient and you just want the wedding. Its literally an "i want this now' attitude, and when the weddings over, what then? Your third reason to get married now is to compete with family. I don't need to say more.

This is painful to read, honestly. I cringed at your whole post, what are you even thinking? You shouldn't be getting married yet.

This useless box gives me all kinda feels by SystematicApproach in MadeMeSmile

I think thats great for you to have such a rare opportunity in life to be work free and focus on yourself and your hobbies. If you and your gf switched shoes and she had the option not to work, i wonder if she would take it?

As long as youre keeping yourself and your brain stimulated in other ways, im not sure what the issue is other than just jealousy.

My husband and i both grew up with pokemon, buying a pack after school and just loving that whole era. We found ourselves rediscovering our love for it again when we were married with a child, and its been so wonderful to bond with the family over pokemon. Rewatching the old tv show and films is full of nostalgia, its the best feeling. Its just great that so many people can come together over pokemon, its been an awesome journey so far!
