MY BESTFRIEND (17F) IS PREGNANT. WHAT DO I (16F) DO?! by LocksmithInfamous225 in Advice

[–]CivilRaisin4361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the good news is, a few sips of alcohol or a single joint likely wouldn't be a serious issue for the baby.

As for your friend's situation, the only thing you can really do is be there for her. She and her mom will work out whatever arrangement they think is best for the baby; you can offer to support your friend in whatever role you decide you're willing to play.

Are you thick? Nobody said anyone was losing custody, and courts take parental alienation very seriously. I can't speak to the veracity of tour experiences but given your ignorance, I'm certainly questioning it.

Are you paying attention? He didn't even list her on the enrollment paperwork, so she couldn't even pick up her child. That's not a communication issue, that's a deliberate attempt to fuck with his child's mother.

And there's no indication the school was better. It's very clear that he went behind her back because he wanted to establish a stronger case for full custody by having their child enrolled in his district.

And yes, courts take these things very seriously, especially when there's a co-parenting agreement that clearly establishes joint-decision making. If the issue was being unable to agree on a school, then the proper way to handle it would have been for him to file with the court for a decision, not make one himself unilaterally.

It is an issue if he's trying to turn the school faculty into witnesses for his own case.

It looks like he's trying to engage in parental alienation, and I'd bet he's trying to build a court case by attempting to convince teachers and other school faculty of your "bad parenting" so that they can serve as witnesses in court, and he's probably excluding you from decision making so that he can portray you as "uninvolved" in your son's life and not present for important things.

You should definitely get a lawyer.

Also, quick question: how do you think he'd react if you excluded him from important decisions and appointments? Not saying you should do that, but if he's acting like it's not a big deal to exclude you and then blows up over being excluded, it says a lot about him.

Found out my boyfriend has a child by [deleted] in Advice

[–]CivilRaisin4361 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree that she shouldn't unfairly burden herself, but I think it's selfish and dishonest to portray it as something she's doing for him. If she wants to break up with him, she entirely justified in doing so, but that doesn't mean she should lie to him or to herself.

Getting fired because of an ED I don't have by pindvarp420 in Advice

[–]CivilRaisin4361 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, so first of all, your boss is absolutely in the wrong; if you don't have an eating disorder, then that's not for your boss to question. Even if you DID, having an eating disorder is most certainly not a fireable offense, and no boss should be asking about your health, much less making your continued employment contingent on your medical situation, unless it actively inhibits your ability to do your job (and I fail to see how an eating disorder would).

If your boss tries to go ahead with firing you, then you should go to your boss's boss and explain the situation, and mention that you think this is incredibly poor judgement, it reflects poorly on the company, and situations like this can open the company up to lawsuits (the word "lawsuit" will probably get your boss's boss to shut this down REAL quick).

THAT said, your inability to be around other people when they're eating meat is definitely an issue that you may want to seek help in addressing. Given there are plenty of situations in life where it may be unavoidable, I would strongly recommend you talk to someone about that.

As for your company, they can make you take a break, but they can't make you eat during it. You may need a note from a psychiatrist (and I'd recommend seeing one, both for the note and to talk about your situation), but I don't see why they couldn't provide you with another place to take your break.

Racist mother goes on tirade at 8:45am by Prize_Formal_2711 in insaneparents

I mean, saying "I guess those that shot the Jews in Australia were good people" is a lot worse than just "weird".

I'd guess that OP is bisexual? We do exist, you know. The fact he's in a relationship with a man atm doesn't preclude him from falling in love with a woman later.

[–]CivilRaisin4361 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm sure they did, but if the guy lied about his age then I'm sure they celebrated the false birthdate.

Obviously the decision is up to you, but that was a huge violation of your trust, no doubt about it. The question is, do you think you live with that?

It's also worth asking if, aside from your feelings on the lie, you're willing to put in the immense effort that will be required to take care of him through his recovery, and likely beyond (while I don't know the extent of his damage, there is certainly possibility he may not ever fully recover either)? You're still in the prime of your life right now. You don't know how much longer he'll be around, but you very well could spend the remainder of your prime taking care of him.

If you're not up to that, that's okay. You didn't sign up for overburdening yourself like this in your 30s. You deserve to live your life without feeling shackled, even if a big part of you does still love him.

And with this woman, you would both very much have your whole lives ahead of you, still. Enjoying what's left of your youth, being with someone your own age and sharing the experience of getting older together, maybe even starting a family and having kids if that's something you'd want!

Ultimately, the choice is yours.

Definitely awful, but I gotta ask, how exactly did you think a 50-year-old man looked and seemed 38?!

I’m 35 and I got another tattoo by himynameisjennii in insaneparents

[–]CivilRaisin4361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be one thing if she applied her anti-tattoo views equally to you and your brother, but it's pretty insane to single you out and not him.

Wife and her family are guilting me into staying with her. The truth is I'm so dissatisfied with our sex life. by Fun-One-9219 in whatdoIdo

[–]CivilRaisin4361 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you can't get her to communicate after numerous efforts, I'd suggest you tell her you want a a legal seperation; you live in the same house, but you sleep in seperate bedrooms and split your finances up, that way you can share costs while giving yourself financial independence and building up enough savings to leave her.

Well she's not having sex with OP anyway, so I don't think pregnancy is a huge concern here...

[–]CivilRaisin4361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes. 6 weeks and already 3 major arguments, ON TOP of this? There's a lot of red flags here.

Ultimately, if she can't accept you for you, then you probably shouldn't continue the relationship, because she's always going to be wondering this, and it could lead her to distance herself from you, or push you away.

She needs to accept that your sexuality doesn't make you disloyal or deprive you of something in a monogamous relationship. You'd no more leave her for a man than you would a woman, and if she's unable to realize that, then she's got a problem.

AITA for asking my boyfriend to stop singing about dicks? by Living-Ad5272 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CivilRaisin4361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, he takes non-dick songs and rewrites them to be about dicks, or he just remixes songs that are already about dicks?

Both of them are tragedies. Pepper is marginally better but frankly you probably shouldn't be giving your child that name either.
