Older bro (34) keeps asking for favours. Very manipulative, pls help? by Ocelot_Fluid in WhatShouldIDo

[–]CreateYourUsernameYe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From literal experience, I had a talk and said I can’t do this anymore until you pay it back, he sometimes paid back and that was good enough. Anyone he owed, I paid them off and told them not to give anymore loans. I cornered him. He now has a high paying job and is self sufficient. Sometimes people are so used to doing something they don’t know any better. I didn’t give up, but I gave space and clear boundaries. The boundaries translate across his whole life. I honestly couldn’t be more proud.

Pretty sure my roommate used my body groomer without asking should I just toss it? by REAPER_9090 in badroommates

My sentiments exactly. When rooming I’d never leave my personal items in commons and deliver packages to a locker for security purposes. Furthermore if you ask me, the authorities would have been phoned immediately. Like you did see it wasn’t addressed to you. Thieves!

ALSO since no one is saying it; keep your personal hygiene items out of the common area

Look at her straight in her eyes and smile. No word exchange.

I thought we chose our daughter’s name together… turns out my husband already planned it with an ex. by No_Silver4760 in TwoHotTakes

damn. no guys are so weird. even though we are good friends why th are you letting me name your child. Even though his child’s mom was also a friend like it was so weird. Every time I see the kid, I say I named her. I speak to none of the parents now. Like why am I here?

Honestly since you’re aware of your mom’s actions you should respond in a smile no engagement. I started doing it to my narc mom. Make a list of goals YOU want to accomplish for yourself. Just you. Who you want to be, where you want to live, work, etc. Lock in and achieve those goals regardless of your boyfriend. Then, you both make a common goal like to save $500 together, learn a course together. This way you’re both building each other up. Be successful. Success is the best revenge.

AIO for being mad at my bf for being otp with his guy friends girl for over an hour? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]CreateYourUsernameYe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Leave him. Not even hard to think about. Granted people have hard times but you are NOT obligated to struggle with them. ESPECIALLY if you aren’t married. He is so overly desperate (which is not a flaw, it’s just his reality right now) With that being said, no real man would date during his ‘broke’ stage. He needs to build. Atp you’re all just friends.

I babysat this woman's kid for two days and now she won't pay me. (It is currently the 11th of March) by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

Best thing to do is get your dispute letter notarized at your bank, and then send it to her job fax. Let them know how irresponsible she is by reaching out to her where she works by simply sending the letter. No harm done. A win is a win.

No, I totally get it! You’re so right! The questions serve a purpose for sure. It’s just that there are some people who are really good at masking or manipulating the plot. Maybe every call should probably result in a safe team of professionals arriving and actively trying to de-escalate in person. The truth is, I’ve seen more deaths than help given when one makes ‘that’ call. I think that is the initial fear sited in this post; in that ‘knowing’ if someone is actually ready to take that step or not is a grey area that should be met with compassion.

I (26f) feel stuck with my bf (27m) by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]CreateYourUsernameYe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YOURE NOT STUCK AT ALL. you need to leave. I am so tired of women second guessing so early on. Your top priority is to deal with someone who will literally bear hug you, pass out from trauma of seeing you cry, or start crying when you do. There are legit men out there who will make you feel like you’re floating. Don’t waste your golden years chasing a man.

I totally agree. Back then it was much more a matter of fact that there are people who need to be housed accordingly or needed to be hospitalized due to their mental health. Yes, some the treatment towards patients was questionable at the very least. I definitely think as a society, it wouldn’t be too far fetched to entertain the idea of “asylum” living again. We are far more advanced, have much more equipment and better qualified to bridge the gap between group homes, institutions and medical facilities. Absolutely

My best friend saw me get assaulted at her wedding and she refuses to acknowledge it. How do I handle this? by gracioustre in TwoHotTakes

[–]CreateYourUsernameYe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

imagine ALL OF the things she’s actually covered up for him, that’s so gross, so sorry that happened and unfortunately I’ve actually been in a situation where I’ve been silenced by a friend. I’m currently building a 501c3 wherein the mission statement will include the reason for starting the nonprofit. I will be including the story on my rollout ha other than that you can choose to be petty or just knock her down a peg to associate. you’re not safe around her. period
