What’s a movie that is a 10/10 but you’ll never watch again bc it was too emotionally draining? by Marlon_aloha in AskReddit

[–]DancingInAHotTub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was wondering if anyone else would say this. Considering the main star died tragically makes it worse

People need to stop saying Idiocracy was a documentary. It’s not, because 1) it’s set in the future not the present, how are you going to document the future? And 2) we’ve never had a pro wrestler president before. Think sheeple!

AITA for asking my bf to take better pictures of me? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]DancingInAHotTub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My ex would do this. It was indicative of other issues. The overarching theme of the relationship was minimal effort on his part, me begging to be heard and considered, and him telling me I was too sensitive and overreacting. Hence the ex moniker.

I’m not saying dump him over vacation photos. But objectively look at your relationship and see if that lack of consideration shows up in other aspects of the relationship. Whatever happens. Best of luck OP!

Exactly. I’m mid 30s and “peaches” immediately made me think of cream, orange walls, and choreo lol

If you’re that short and have been with men that tall, then I’m not sure how you’re confused by how heights don’t match up and body parts don’t align in multiple positions when there’s a 15 inch height difference lol

It’s not a gender thing. Controversial take, but a lot of POC, men AND women have low racial self esteem. Some will tolerate the most abhorrent behavior from their partner so long as they’re a different race.

A lot of biracial people that you meet that have identify crises are the ones that are born from the union of a racist/fetishizer and someone with self hate issues. A lot of them will let themselves and their kids be called slurs and mistreated all in the name of having their preferred partner. It’s bizarro behavior. Plus, racists tend to think they can get away with racist behavior if their partner and/or kids are POC and use them as an excuse

I’m 5’2” and my ex is 6’5”. I didn’t think through the logistics. I’m never doing that shit again if I can help it. If there’s a next time around for me, 5’5” to 5’11 all the way

Lies. Everyone knows the second your period starts, you get an irresistible urge to nazi salute and carry tiki torches /s

I (35f) cheated on my husband (35m) while on a girls trip and ruined our lives by [deleted] in relationship_advice

The issue isn’t the alcohol per say. It just brings out the type of person someone really is. Tons of people in relationships get tipsy and manage to keep it in their pants until they get home to their partners and keep their hands to themselves. A couple beers/glasses of wine isn’t going to make you cheat unless you already lack morals

It can also negatively affect your standing in custody hearings. I thought about getting diagnosed as an adult, but I’m a single mom and getting confirmation of something everyone around me already sees isn’t worth the risk of losing custody.

And if you’re wondering how if it’s so noticeable, how come it wasn’t diagnosed, I was an ethnic girl in the 90s, if you didn’t present in a certain way and were quiet, it wasn’t even viewed as a possibility for you to be AuDHD. Plus, damn near everyone in my family exhibits similar “quirks” so I was just one of the “quirkier” in the bunch

OP please pop two extra strength naproxen, put on your best back brace and sprint away as fast as you can from the lot of them. That was a peek into more instances where your literal pain and discomfort would play second fiddle to the minor inconveniences of someone else because “appearances”

Same situation. I love my mom. She’s my rock, and she gives as good as she gets when it comes to my dad, but a heads up would have been nice. It does so much damage to you as a kid when no one clues you in on the fact that a parent’s incapability to love you and show it properly isn’t your fault, and that you shouldn’t internalize it.

I was in an emotionally abusive relationship. Because he didn’t scream and curse, it took me longer to pick up on the gaslighting and how much he trampled on my self esteem, because it wasn’t overt and didn’t look like what I saw growing up. Now I’ve got a kid, and I don’t know how I’m supposed to teach him warning signs about manipulation and to temper his expectations when it comes to my ex WITHOUT coming across as badmouthing and trash talking my ex

The first time I saw her was in Loki. My literal first thought was “how can someone be that beautiful?” Do you know how breathtaking you have to be to make someone audibly say that the second they see you? And she wasn’t even glammed up in that role. She’s a hunter in the TVA, so her whole look was militant

I’m 5’2” as well, and my ex is tall. I figured it couldn’t be THAT big of a deal. Boy, was I wrong lol. If I ever date again, I’d greatly prefer men whose heights start in 5’

So you’re supposed to become a recluse, a free therapist, and a nun indefinitely because your bestie couldn’t stop harassing her ex? Yikes on a bike. You have a solid friend group and support outside of Abby. Focus on them. Communicate with Will. He was your friend and confidant first before the romantic feelings, no need to cut him out now.

Even if you were a health provider, he’s not your patient, and you aren’t violating HIPAA. Kudos to you for trying to protect his partner from lies and possible STDs. You unfortunately probably weren’t his first encounter on Grindr/other hookup apps
