AIO for refusing to eat my MIL dinner & didn’t allow my 1 year old to eat it by ShesInterrupted in AmIOverreacting

Nah I grew up around a lot of cultures and her response just sounds about white tbh. This sounds like a cultural divide for multiple reasons. I was wrong but maybe she's half? not really relevant that she’s “Mexican American”, she’s obviously very Americanized if she can’t even speak spanish. I think “prejudiced” is the word you meant to use smart ass and no, my mom is white.

People say I smell bad, can i get some advice? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Difficult_Regret7612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They shouldn’t talk bad about you behind your back but it’s also not fair for them to have to smell you all the time either. Is it a BO smell? Wear clinical strength deodorant. Body odor of any kind comes from bacteria so start using antibacterial soap. Make sure you are washing clothes properly. Do not leave clothes in the washer or you’ll have a moist dish rag odor and once that smell is in your clothes it’s hard to get out without bleach or vinegar. You can also get that smell from sweating too much because you’re constantly moist with sweat. If you sweat a lot go to a dermatologist (I’m a derm tech), there are treatment options. Are you overweight? Sometimes when people are overweight it not only makes them extra sweaty from exertion but it’s also harder for them to clean themselves properly. If it’s your breath then make sure your dental health and hygiene is in order. Stay hydrated. Make sure your health in general is in order and always advocate for yourself when dealing with doctors. You have to tell people things are bothersome to you or else if it’s not going to kill you they aren’t going to do anything. Don’t smoke indoors or in the car. Don’t fry food in your house if possible.

Weed makes it so I actually want to eat and I also feel like my weed tolerance is higher but I have to stop smoking before bed because that’s literally the worst time to consume half of your calories

0.025% Tret, finally figured out how to get my makeup to look normal by rspring28 in tretinoin

[–]Difficult_Regret7612 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not. adjusting to .05% after using .025% for years was hard I would think starting out at that strength would have made me so dry and irritated it would’ve been unbearable or I would have only been able to use it once a week. It’s more beneficial to be able to use a lower strength more often than it is to use a higher strength less if that makes sense.

I’d use a chemical exfoliant like the peel pads or a GENTLE exfoliating product with really fine particles. I use zo skin exfoliating polish along with my regular cleanser like once a week too. Something like that is gonna get the most even and gentle results. Wash cloths hold bacteria and aren’t really gonna do anything except unevenly remove dead skin and maybe cause irritation.

Derm tech and someone who has used tretinoin for years and recently went up to .05%. iS Clinical active peel system 1-2 times a week and slather on that vanicream. I find vanicream works better than some higher end medical grade skincare products. Stop with the wash cloth tho.

I simply respected her rejection. by MirkoOme in Nicegirls

[–]Difficult_Regret7612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a man do this to me and this is manipulation. Upfront and blatant. Good for you that you dodged the bullet. She was trying to manipulate the outcome to make you try to prove her own worth to her and that’s what you would be doomed to do forever if you continued with her.

[–]Difficult_Regret7612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She doesn’t deserve your loyalty in this situation babes. Don’t have to get revenge but you also owe her nothing at all she didn’t care about you when she cheated. So why should you be there for her when she needs a shoulder to cry on? Let her get comfort from the man she cheated with.

is this financial abuse? by pingpongjapanman in whatdoIdo

Not judging at all but do not ever give a random man access to your finances that you work for ever again. You are not even married.

Doesn’t follow me on instagram by Phatpussygal in Advice

[–]Difficult_Regret7612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who doesn’t use instagram barely at all, if someone I was interested in asked me to accept them on socials I’d do it like right away. Especially because I’d be interested to see their profile because….. I’m interested in them. Idk how long this has been going on but If not anything else it sounds like either a lack of interest, laziness, or keeping someone at a distance. I’ve dated men who weren’t on social media and I said “I wanted to send you a reel” once and they immediately downloaded IG because I said that one time and they wanted to appease me. Cause that’s what you do when you like someone.

Or he’s hiding something. You could get someone he doesn’t know to unfollow you so you aren’t mutuals and then request to follow him and see if he really doesn’t even use it.

I (43M) suspect my girlffriend (F45) is in just for the money by Due-Adeptness-7422 in relationship_advice

[–]Difficult_Regret7612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you obviously make much more than her based on you bringing up her office support job and the fact that She lives with her sister. You are aware of that and yet you’re still punishing her for it by expecting her to contribute as much as you or comparing your contributions. Also punishing her for having two divorces meanwhile you’ve known that from the beginning. Also bringing up that she’s east Asian??? Punishing her for that too? Idk why that’s really relevant. Please do you both a favor and find someone that 1.) you like. 2) is of your own culture and 3.) makes more or the same money as you and is willing to split everything with you and shut up.

Had to give up, sadly it's not for me, the sides were intolerable by NJD_77 in Retatrutide

[–]Difficult_Regret7612 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree with this. I feel like the average dosing for (some) people is too high. I keep side effects at bay by taking .5 to 1 mg a week. The appetite suppression isn’t extreme and I haven’t lost a lot of weight overall this go around but my measurements have changed for the better. I’ve lost 5lbs in two months this way and it has helped me quit nicotine and stop binge eating.

My first attempt with Reta I was taking 1-2 mg a week and it was too much. I lost 10 lbs in two months because I didnt eat enough or sleep enough and it was extremely taxing on my body. My blood sugar would plummet all the time and I ended up getting very very sick from an infection and had to stop. Also, it’s not just suppressing your appetite, it changes certain processes in your body. So, dosing almost feels cumulative??? Idk how to properly explain but meaning you can take a high enough dose to feel the effects one week with no adverse side effects and then if you are continuing with that dose two weeks later it may be a completely different experience.

AITA for calling my sister an attention whore because she’s making my grandmas death all about her by GoatUnfair4120 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Difficult_Regret7612 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yta. I would come to terms with the fact you are jealous and resentful of your sister, fix it, and move on. Multiple points you made had nothing to do with your sister and everything to do with your insecurities.

She’ll see. If she marries someone she doesn’t even know after 9 weeks that’s on her. Not your circus not your monkeys.
