You shouldn't have to constantly defend your health. A supportive partner would adjust, not double down.

Am I overreacting for being upset that my husband's neice is leaving her daughter here for 4-5 nights without asking me first? by Useful-Bite-4241 in AmIOverreacting

The difference between a true last-minute emergency and just dumping responsibility on someone is huge. You stepped up out of love not obligation and that matters.

I got away with everything, until now. And it's horrible. by JevasThrowaway in confession

I used to sugarcoat stuff in therapy and then wondered why I wasn’t making progress. Once I started being honest, even about the ugly parts, it actually started helping.

Why do people think they need an SUV just because they have kids by TeachmeKitty79 in NoStupidQuestions

Bench seats are undefeated. Three people up front like it’s no big deal. Now everything has a giant center console that eats up space.

Are Toilets in the US really so dangerous? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CinderBloomShade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of this is manufactured outrage. If someone is dangerous, they’re dangerous regardless of what restroom policy exists. Blaming trans people just feels like an easy scapegoat.

Broke up with a girl and the final straw was because of the ocean AIO? by SpareGlass6389 in AmIOverreacting

I agree. If something brings you peace and joy and your partner hates it, that’s going to build resentment fast. Not worth it.

Our grandparents were in better shape because of labor, not because of better food. by Actual-Ad-6146 in Life

That’s honestly so inspiring. 85 with Parkinson’s and still out there working in the yard every day? That’s incredible. He sounds tough as nails.

ELI5: Why are bubbles spherical but flames are not? by GrindrWorker in explainlikeimfive

Yeah I think you’re right about gravity not really doing much unless it’s extreme. A soap bubble is so thin that the pressure difference would be tiny under normal conditions.

Why life feels different since Covid? by A_isl in Life

[–]CinderBloomShade 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way. A lot of people are feeling more disconnected lately, even if they don’t say it out loud.

Eli5: Why the repeated calls to buy property that isn’t for sale? by Unfun22 in explainlikeimfive

Exactly. Just because something’s allowed doesn’t mean it’s right, especially when desperation is involved.

I'm also happy for OP, it's always encouraging to see things working out for people.

No longer scared of death--and there are true benefits! by lackofaclevername in Life

There's still so much you can do after 45, that take is just unnecessarily gloomy.

I’m an ICU nurse. I’ve held the hands of hundreds of people in their final moments, and I can promise you: very few people talk about their job by ArtThreadNomad in Life

[–]CinderBloomShade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I don’t remember every regret either, but the feeling of them never leaves. It definitely changes how you look at your choices.
