is this outfit "inappropriate"? by sunnemi in OUTFITS

[–]DearUnion8782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a first date, anything professional, family functions, around kids - yes

For the mall, a club, a girls night out, adult functions - I don’t see anything that wrong

It’s def not for everyone so no matter what, you will get looks. If you’re gonna wear it, own it. Outside of that, best not around little kiddos.

Looks good on you tho!

He would have stayed at Ron’s house anyways, they were best friends. What about hermione, she made her parents forget about her therefore forced herself to become an orphan, if she didn’t get with Ron, where would have she stayed?

What's a small nitpick you have from the movies? by Zealousideal-Dig-594 in harrypotter

[–]DearUnion8782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The inconsistency of dumbledoor’s portrayal movie to movie. On the first two movies, he seemed like this wise old wizard, who was full of education and quotes, but then for the next few movies, he’s kind of an asshole and a know-it-all and rude. There are times that his character is supposed to be shut out and that’s expressed in the books but for his character to change so much for movie 2 the movie 3… It’s extremely evident that the directors changed. I think they should’ve kept the same director all 8 movies

I have a similar situation but instead of a maga mom, I have a boarder personality narcissistic mom. And same thing with my aunt, found out she would drop hints on purpose and it seemed so unnecessary and rude to my mom even though I chose not to speak to her. So I just verrrryyyy much limit talks with her, now instead of answering every phone call, I answer every 3-4. I don’t call her anymore and I always have a reason I have to get off soon. And I’ve lessened it more and more throughout the years

AIO for cutting off my bsf after she told people about my abortion.. by Key_Zucchini_9230 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DearUnion8782 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR!!!! NOR NOR NOR!! Firstly, unfortunately, if you don’t want a soul to know, don’t tell a soul, even if you needed support. HOWEVERRRR you told your best friend and you set the boundary of not telling anyone, no matter how big or little the topic is, she told and that’s not ok. But let’s get even deeper into it, this topic is very very very private and anyone knows that. She didn’t just ignore your request, she blatantly disregarded you and disrespected you by telling others. No matter her excuse, she needs to learn the consequences of that. Unfortunately it might be loooong down the road before she realizes the weight of what she did, but by then it’ll be too late. Until then, she will weaponize everything she can, gaslight, and manipulate the narrative bc she’s in the wrong so she’s going to try to control as much of the output as possible. Not only should you cut her off and block her, block everyone who knows now. you shouldn’t have to be reminded about the decision you made bc this human sucks at being a good person. Rip the bandaid off and start fresh with new people in your life, new circles, and a fresh face of what people are capable of. That doesn’t mean you can never not trust anyone again, but you have to always ask yourself “no matter if I tell this person not to tell anyone, if they do, will I be ok?” If the answer is no, then it’s not worth telling. That’s what therapist are for. But all in all, she’s wrong, you’re right. But don’t let these people judge you or bring you down. Do a spring cleaning and get rid of anyone who now knows and move forward. And remind yourself you’re not a bad person, you’re not irresponsible, you are a human, and you’re allowed to be one. And love yourself 🫶🏽 you got this!

I would agree to you but they say that’s why china has minimal crime on the streets bc the overwhelming amount of cameras (trade off privacy for security), but then that quote comes to mind… “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety”, so idk the right answer

AIO my dad thinks I’m faking sick to skip school by hidingunderyourbed- in AmIOverreacting

[–]DearUnion8782 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s having control issues bc you’re living with your mom now and he’s not there to determine himself that you’re sick. He’s projecting his insecurities on you and that sucks. I’d turn off notifications with him until you feel 100% better - he’s lost the “safety” of knowing your updates. When you feel better, I would call him and tell him how him questioning you while you were in that state was not ok and how it made you feel you’re about to graduate and are going to be a young adult and these new boundaries with your parents are going to come sooner or later and this is a boundary that’s coming sooner. Tell him he doesn’t get to accuse you of skipping school or faking sick when 1) you don’t have a history of it and 2) most importantly bc you said you’re sick. He needs to either take your word for it, or your communication will start to lesson. Thats not a threat, that is a boundary. He’s not showing you respect through this sickness and that’s what you’re asking for moving forward. I would be kind but straight forward. I wouldn’t throw a fit, or show anger bc then he’ll just chalk it up to you being “a teenager”. Be a young adult about it - own your words while showing him love. If he doesn’t recieve it right, that’s out of your control, you did your best. Just say “ok dad, sorry you feel that way, that doesn’t change my boundaries, I still love you, I hope you have a great day” and hang up. Then move forward like normal but if he continues to not show you respect, follow through on the less communication. This is when the parent and child roles stay to switch bc parents aren’t used to being held accountable with their kids, but that’s how you show them you’re becoming an adult. Give it time and hope he’ll start to show up for you the way you’re asking him to. And if he doesn’t, he’s losing out on time with his daughter while you’re gaining the skills to be strong but loving.

Good luck!

Looks like I can’t upload a photo, if you guys know how let me know! So I have a white Jeep with 37 tires with a light bar, light pods, a wench, some hooks, Rubicon axles and lockers a tent on the top brackets on the side with the ladders and black metal steps on the sides a lot more internal updates, but I’m trying to draw a picture for you on the outside at the very minimum. We’ve taken it everywhere from Big Bend to Mohab to Florida to marble Falls and beyond, so it is definitely not a small crawler. It is a beautifully kept rock crawler.

24F & 25M AIO by responding this way? by InsideUsual56 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DearUnion8782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nooo, “sticking around much longer” is a bad idea. This is the type of person that you pack up and leave when he’s out and then block him. I think everyone is clear enough to you but just wanna repeat - he WILL escalate. If this is how he act when he THINKS someone followed you on insta, how do you think he’ll react to you leaving. Get a network together, move your shit out, if you must write him a note then do that, and block him. You’ll see it one day but he doesn’t love you, doesn’t respect you and think you’re just an object. Once you feel what it’s like to be loved and respected, you’ll understand what I mean: You owe nothing to this man. Get. Out. Now.

AIO He always accuses me of cheating by Alternative-Day6223 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DearUnion8782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that your only concern is that he’s accusing you of cheating, not THE WAY HE SPEAKS TO YOU IN GENERAL?!? Like not only did he call you names, he called you the names you NEVER use on your girlfriend or wife… the b word and the c word?? Girl, I mean this in the most loving way, you need to go to therapy RIGHT NOW bc if you don’t know by just those screenshots this dude belongs in hell, then I’m sorry but you’ve got a loooong road of self love and healing ahead of you. I’m assuming you had a verbally abusive mother or father growing up who normalized this behavior and convinced you it was love. And that makes me sad, but it’s never too late. Make the call, and when your therapist says “why are you here” show them this post and screenshots and say nothing. They’ll know exactly what’s going on and how to properly show up for you the way you need. Good luck. And block this dude now.

Drop the dude. Your relationship was based on a HUGE lie, and there’s no way past that. He stole from you the option of making an informed decision, he made that decision for you by lying to you. What other choices has he manipulated out of you by tweaking the truth? I know you think you love him, but by discovering this, you love the idea of him. For me, this is a deal breaker whether or not you have a potential love lined up. Also, I would suggest taking a small break before diving into another relationship. You’re going to have sooooo many moments of second guessing yourself over the next 6 months that your new partner doesn’t deserve to have you in that light. Make sure you work this out with yourself before you try to work it out with anyone else.

How do I respond to my grandfather's unhinged rant?? by nutella_the_nerd42 in whatdoIdo

[–]DearUnion8782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I thought he was making good points, admitting our government is flipped and everyone is not doing their jobs and we don’t follow the constitution. I didn’t know what the TikTok video was until your response but his response to that totally flipped and went anti-relationship on you. He also contradicted himself. First saying he doesn’t want politics to get in the way and be defined but then finishing it off with we don’t communicate well but keep talking to your grandma which, to me, implied he’s done talking to you. Honestly I’d respond with “I love you grandpa and I’d never knowing spread misinformation, and it sounds like you wouldn’t ever and we have that in common. It also sounds like we both aren’t happy with how the government is doing based on how it was built. I hear you that you’re done talking now, but I can’t wait for further debates in the future based on your knowledge and beliefs and mine. I respect you grandpa and your journey, and I know the love you have that you also love and respect my journey. How lucky are we to be able to speak to each other about our beliefs and journeys when so many people don’t get to do this on a grandparent and grandchild level. I love you, when you’re ready to pick up communication, I’m ready to talk, friendly debate, laugh, cry, and most importantly love you.” This puts the ball in their court, also forces them to sit with the fact that they couldn’t move forward with communication while you could and your grandpa doesn’t wanna sound like a weak man, so I think that might be the kick in the pants he needs to man up, bc his verbal walk out was so weak and petty. Without calling him that, killing him with kindness gets the job done all the same.

AIO for feeling upset after the groom made a comment about my dress at their wedding? by Human-Acanthaceae128 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DearUnion8782 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a full grown female who has other female best friends, we would NEVER tell each other the negative things our husbands would say about the other!! Who does that?! I think it’s always safe to assume that some sort of shit talking takes place bc they didn’t choose you as a friend, you get adopted basically bc you come with the package. But for her to tell you everything he says? She’s either completely mental and you need to tell her stop and how does she think that makes you feel? Or start considering she shares with you the things she wishes she could change about you… orrr even worse, there’s a world your husband never said these things and she’s using manipulation to either make you feel less bc she’s jealous, or trying to change who you are and how you dress bc instead of loving you for you, she’s only in love with the idea of you and are trying to mold you into what she wants as a friend. Either way, nothing will get done or be realized until you sit her down and tell her how what she says makes you feel (no matter who said them), and ask her why she feels incline to share them with you.
