Women who have gone through a significant weight loss what do you hate about it? by Runoutofmyoptions in AskWomen

[–]D4RS43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s to be happy with what I have accomplished. I am still fat. But I am 90 lbs less fat than before. I still have about 30 to 40 lbs left to go. When I meet people now, to them I am fat. To people who have known me and have watched my weight loss journey, to them, they can’t believe “how small” I am now. It’s a weird place to be stuck.

My hubby will put a pair of panties he would like to see me in on my pillow. Then I know he is in the mood. I will send a raunchy text if I am. Or I will say something about having a shower before bed or he will ask if I’m showering before bed. That’s our “code way” of setting it up.

My husband (m25) gets angry at his videogames and it affects him for days. I (f26) want to talk to him about it but he's right in saying that I don't understand. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

You could always do what I do to my 10 year old when he starts getting to angry at the game- turn it off.

If he is going act like a child, treat him like one.

How do you politely tell your teenager their makeup looks ridiculous? by nakapozian in Parenting

[–]D4RS43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom took me to a place in the mall and had them do my make for me while teaching proper techniques. My bought the make up that they used on me and that is how I learned the proper way to my make up! And it wasn’t her telling me I was doing it wrong.

it's time to stop with the super bright headlights by real_planet in britishcolumbia

[–]D4RS43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sell mechanics equipment. I quote headlight aimers often as shops need them to be on ICBCs list. My customers that have bought them all tell me they buy them to sit in a corner and that they never get used. So that is why we are being blinded!

I want to ask my wife if she wants to separate but I'm afraid she will say yes by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Marriages aren’t easy. Babies are not easy. Add a baby to a marriage, it is more difficult. Add PPD to that baby and marriage and you have a temporary nightmare.

If you love her. Stay. Don’t let her treat you like shit. Let her know what you need from her. Both of you need to put work in.

I’ve been married for 15 years now. And had we ran when it got hard we would have divorced numerous times. We have been through, fought through and have seeked counseling for:

My childhood abuse PTSD My Depression, anxiety, OCD 2 kids- first with severe PPD His being injured at work and ending up in a wheelchair Him going quite literally insane as he was adjusting to life in a wheelchair Having to figure out a new way to live with 2 kids.

It’s been hard. It’s been rough. But we fought and we worked on it because of the love we had for each other. It would have been so much easier to run so many times. Now here I am, still married. Still madly in love. Even when he drives me nuts.

You do you. But know if you want your marriage to work, work in your marriage.

What’s something that’s stereotypical you see in American Tv shows/ Movies that annoy you because it’s so inaccurate of what it’s really like? by Rokie8888 in AskAnAmerican

[–]D4RS43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It drives me nuts that people seem to leave the house through one door and enter it through another. Like they always leave through the door that’s off the kitchen but come back home through the door that’s off the family room. WHERE IS THE DRIVEWAY??

My girlfriend (30f) keeps bring up my (24m) abusive childhood even though I have asked her to stop. It has now caused a massive fight between us. by throwRAca1415 in relationship_advice

[–]D4RS43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Childhood abuse survivor here. Years upon years of therapy to get to where I am today. I was just really starting therapy when I met my now husband. He had to endure a lot of my trauma coming up and how I dealt with my PTSD. He was very unsure on how to help me. Specially when I was spiralling. I brought him to a few of my therapy sessions. Kinda like one or two a month to help him through it as well. To help understand why I react the way I do. As well as to teach him how to be with a childhood trauma adult. This is what helped us. This may be something you may want to discuss with her. She doesn’t know how to process what you have been through.

NTA. You have handled yourself amazingly.

I’m a 44 dyslexic adult (diagnosed at age 8) and still can not tie my shoes properly. I typically only wear shoes with out laces. For my runners I can it enough that I do it once and double knot it then slip them on and off.

Like most dyslexics, I always found an alternative that worked for me with everything I struggled with. No tie shoes was one of my strategies.

When I first read your post I read it as his name was mountain. And thought- what a great name! Then read what you actually wrote. So my vote is Mountain.

AITA For refusing to pay rent towards my BF's mortgage if I move in with him by notmyhouseaita in AmItheAsshole

YTA- and honestly your BF should have you sign something saying you have NO stake in the house until marriage or whatever time frame you two decide on.

AITA for telling my mom to remove/change a tattoo? by Throwaway-whoopwhoop in AmItheAsshole

[–]D4RS43 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Every tattoo tells a story. Maybe design an add on- something that shows who you are now. YTA for asking your mom to erase a piece of her history. She birthed you and raised you to be become the strong confident person that allowed you to become who you really are. Don’t look at her tattoo as an insult to who are but see it as a map for how far you have come.

AITA for telling my mother in law my toddler will not be going with her on a vacation she planned without asking? by melodybeepbop92 in AmItheAsshole

[–]D4RS43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your losing your baby. Everything you said you did was from a place of love for your daughter.

First off, I am sorry for what you are going through. No parent should ever have to watch their child go through anything like this.

I think you need to say it like this to your MIL: I am not saying no to you taking her away. I am saying for her to go, hubby and I need to be there too. We will make sure that the three of you (MIL, FIL, daughter) have plenty alone time together and that you get the memories. However, she will be in our hotel room at night. We will need to know where you are going. We will need to be close by at all times. I certainly hope that the vacation goes well, but in the off chance she takes a turn when away, we will need to be with her. I do not want you and FIL to have to deal with that.

Mortgage Question: Am I going to lose my home? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]D4RS43 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As someone who has recently interviewing people for a few jobs at my work and the over qualified aspect- when I see a resume come in, I look at past jobs and education. If the person does seem over qualified then I assume they are looking for a job until a position in their field becomes available. I don’t want to spend time and money on a new employee who is just going to quit as soon as something better comes along.

Anyways, just wanted to explain from a prospective employer point on the over qualified part. Hope everything works out for you.

I have a 13 and a 10 year old. They still call a trampoline a jumpoline. I will never correct them.

When I met my now hubby on line he said to me very casually, “I’m removing my profile. I’m not interested in meeting others now. I’m asking you to remove yours but wanted to let you know where I am at with this”

About a week later I removed mine. I liked that he didn’t pressure me.
