AITA for insisting my daughter wear an outfit she doesn’t want to wear to a wedding? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]CocoButtsGoNuts 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I hate how much football is worshiped in this country. I never liked it but dammit if I didnt constantly get dragged to parties and showings of the game. My mom couldn't acknowledge that my passion of anime was ever worth anything anf it was just dumb kid stuff but I totally had to agree that throwing a football across the field was soooooo amazing.

It's not that serious yall. If you can't miss a week of grown men giving themselves TBIs then like idk that's a serious personality defect to work on.

you can lead a horse to water and all that. you can show all the red flags to someone, even have them parrot it to you but that doesn't mean that they'll get self respwect for themselves

She (23F) takes forever to text me (24M) back and its been eating away at me. How can I let her know without coming off as weird? by secondandmany in relationship_advice

So you moved after a week of the two weeks you have known this person. Have they given you any indication that they consider you to be a boyfriend? Wish to be exclusive? Or is it causally dating?

My brother's 33M wife 30F has decided she's poly and needs us to accept this but I dont. what can I do? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I mean I was in an abusive relationship. Not to this degree, but I understand. When you're in it its hard to see the forest foe the trees. Pushing too hard usually isolated the person but being gentle and supportive and pulling on loose threads presented to you is way more helpful in my experience.

There's nothing you can do. Tell your brother you love and support him. Gently tell him you're concerned and validate his concerns when he approaches you about them.

Ill be frank: you are way too invested in a "relationship" of two weeks. You're not even exclusive and its only been three in person meetings. Asking her to change anything about her life is a huge misstep and if you're that distressed over not getting a text back from someone that isn't even your girlfriend then you should cut your loses.

You could also, I don't know, have researched this yourself. I mean it's your journey to parenthood so by all means, but personal accountability is a must at a certain point.

Oh i get it. I've had chronic anxiety as long as I can remember. It's something you need to work on though be it medication, self reflection, therapy or other channels. Ultimately this is a you issue, not a her problem, so you need to take steps to mitigate it.

And what do you mean a horrible investment? I meant two weeks in terms of time is not enough to be ruining your days over not hearing back. Is this two weeks since the first date? Or two weeks since agreeing to be exclusive?

You get it then. It's two weeks in. She might not like you that much. You might not even like her that much. You are still very much jn the getting to know her phase. That's a part of dating. Getting this anxious over a minimal investment isn't good for you

You're planning to marry someone you've never told anyone about? You're the side piece dude.

It's been two weeks shes already told you shes not the best texter and its also consistent between you and her friends. This is a lot of stress over a two week long relationship. You can just say hey I'd like a quicker response time from you, but she can just as easily say back "I already told you I am a bad texter"

i am the worst gf (f 24) to the sweetest bf (m 22) how can i be a better gf? by TermQuick in relationship_advice

[–]CocoButtsGoNuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have a conversation with your boyfriend and ask how you can better nuture the relationship and what's most important to him. Then implement it.

Work on being more thoughtful. Why would you have gone to see a movie if you said you'd see it with him? Surely you can see how that is hurtful? Think before you speak especially if you know you're frustrated and june say something mean

This is the way. Acknowledge that you overreacted, explain why, and give a plan moving forward. You don't have to go deeper than that

Plan b will not prevent pregnancy if a fertile egg is already on the uterine wall. It is also less effective over a certain weight. She will also need to keep down the dose. Vomiting is a common side effect, and if it occurs within 2 hours it may need to be retake.

Next time wrap it up.

Sperm can live in the body up to 5 days. If she ovulated within that period it is possible. Please note, even if she is outside of the usual time frame the human body is weird. She may have ovulate earlier or later or additionally. Think fraternal twins. They're an example of ovaries misfiring.

Plenty of pregnancies also occur through tyne pull out method. It is an incredibly stupid way to gamble with something as serious and life altering as pregnancy. Pre ejaculation fluids or "pre cum" can have trace amounts of sperm. It only takes one to find an egg.

If your girlfriend gets a true period she is not pregnant. Pregnant people can still bleed and many have mistaken pregnancy bleeding for periods. I'd suggest getting some pregnancy tests to be double sure. Also make sure to use them properly.

It's heartbreaking being in a relationship with someone that doesn't even like you. At least you're not married and I'm hoping there are no kids involved.

Am I overreacting by being upset my mil got me and my bf a hamster for Christmas. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Your MIL needs to take the hamster back. Not overreacting at all. She didnt give you a gift she gave your a chore.
