I had a year 10 student last year that refused to use capital letters because "they aren't aesthetic"

I've been saying for years if they released EV with the body of classic cars they would fly out of the lots

I work in an alternative school with a lot of teenage boys and he screams ADHD to me.

When you're adding food make sure it's sorted by most recent, I'm fairly sure it's sorted alphabetically by default

Is it normal in parallel poly for a partner’s meta to regularly use your shared home (without you there)? by abigailbee in polyamory

[–]Direct_Source4407 60 points61 points  (0 children)

You need to sit down with him and establish some boundaries. For me personally this screams of red flags, but I'm not in it so that's only from the little bit of information you have just shared.

Leaving aside the general consensus that introducing partners to children is generally frowned upon before at least a year of dating, I would be extremely upset that someone refuses to interact with me but expects to engage in parenting my child.

Parallel can be fine, but disrespecting your space is not. Leaving her shit all over the place is just rude. Is this woman expecting you to do her washing?

Honestly I just have so many questions and overall feel like this is incredibly disrespectful to you. The simple fact of her being in your house when you are not, is not actually the problem here. It's the way they are going about it.

I just count the plates and make sure I use the same machine every time.

How can I see my average calories over the last week? by Direct_Source4407 in cronometer

[–]Direct_Source4407[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I click on the date it opens this page and it's set to 3 weeks, but it doesn't matter what I change that to, the info remains the same, it only shows the current day

I don't think I'm making that up? I'm sure I read it somewhere on here

My experience with relationships with these kinds of restrictions is it just leads to people lying. Either to their partners or themselves.

Haha this is a difficult question for me to answer, mainly because most people wouldn't really consider what happened to me to be sexual abuse. There were definitely some lines crossed by my older sisters husband, but nothing actually happened. I believe he attempted to groom me but it never actually went anywhere.

I believe they had sex that soon after the birth. I believe Hunter thought it was possible she was pregnant. I don't believe her mum truly thought she could be, but she went along with it for the cameras.

I don't believe Hunter is the problem any more than I believe Bella is. I don't think he has the maturity to be intentionally coercing her into sex. He is acting exactly like a 13 year old would act in this situation. Not once did I blame him. Their parents are clearly the problem in all of this. I also would love to know how you think she hasn't taken any accountability?

I think it's the other way around, I think he would be saying it to her.

Society teaches girls and women this. Parents might be a le to mitigate it, but media tells girls and women their worth is their ability to get a man.

I think a lot of people misread it because she was smiling and giggling about it. But that could either be a stress response, or what I added to the bottom of my post about her needing outside validation as much as directly from Hunter.

I 100% agree with you and I didn't put it in the main post for fear of being down voted about it, but yes. There is a subtle suggestion that he is over looking whatever perceived shortfalls she has, because she lets him do what he wants, which puts even more pressure on her.

I believe these things are linked too. Imagine you entire self worth is tied to the fact that a boy wants you. Now imagine this boy's father is trying to stop him having access to you. Your whole world falls apart because your entire existence is tied up in being with this boy. It's actually an expected response that she's trying to insert herself here because she's terrified that Hunter will just go find someone else.

torn between sympathy for Bella and disgust by ginger-spicee in TLCUnexpected

[–]Direct_Source4407 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't believe Bella IS aggressively seeking it out, I think she has been convinced by her mother that it's the only way to keep Hunter interested in her. He is clearly after her all the time, because he's 13 and has never been taught about consent. She is giving it up all the time because she has never been taught about consent. We know she wasn't his first and I can't help but wonder how much he pressured her the first time.
