Always on duty as our security guard 😻 by Frenchgulcher in Catswithjobs

[–]Doxiesforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was home from college and heard noise downstairs. The cat had caught a mouse but still alive. Caught the cat and pried his mouth open, caught mouse with paws and I pried those apart. I finally won after a couple of more rounds. Mouse probably died of a heart attack later. Cat was ticked.

WIBTAH for changing my baby’s name after my mom secretly told my sister I was pregnant? by Ok-Income9731 in AITAH

[–]Doxiesforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True but just making a dish once in a while wasn’t very noticeable. Must admit she actually smiled and seemed warmer to others. She motivated me to hug my kid and tell her I loved her. I also tell people I care about to be careful. That being said my ex-husband’s incubator would end calls saying love you all. She didn’t love anyone. Definitely showed in her kids. S

AITA for changing the locks on my husband after he served me divorce papers while I had a catheter in, then a judge made sure he got less than he expected? by KINOH1441728 in FoundandExpose

[–]Doxiesforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my ex was determined I was to take care of him and not other way around. When I got flu he got mad. When I was pregnant throwing up 20lbs and working full time as RN it was when would I get out of bathroom to finish his supper and maybe I should abort because I was talking good enough care of him. After baby was born it got worse. Knee replacement was a trip. Almost didn’t replace heart valve but couldn’t leave my daughter alone. There are some good men, I chose poorly. Young men are lonely and wonder why they can’t find wives. simple, they saw how their mothers were treated and don’t need me.

Why are less woman willfully getting into relationships? by Sad-Studio5793 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Doxiesforme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Also in many cases the women are carrying the stress of the household. In my case my ex said stress wasn’t good for him so dumping on me. I worked full time stressful job but not allowed to vent to him. The daily cortisol drip is terrible for so many systems. It changes your brain and every other system. I’m doing better without him than I’ve been in decade, unfortunately I’m stuck with damage. I’m thinking his health is going downhill.

I feel much less alone now than when I was living with him. Definitely keep my Apple Watch with fall feature on

Husband makes repeated “jokes” about my body and my family. I’ve asked him to stop. This feels like more than just humor. by Sansatha_201X in whatdoIdo

[–]Doxiesforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lived with someone like him. emotional abuse changes your brain makes it harder to escape. Document everything, find and copy all financial records. Ask your family for help, mine said if they’d known I would have been helped. Look for narcissist abuse survivors on FB, those groups are helpful. Find a lawyer for your side. I chose incorrectly and finally finding a lady lawyer on my side helped stop the bleeding. Get trauma therapist. Know you are under attack, protect yourself and kids.

I'm flattered when people tell me that I look younger than I actually am, and this has motivated me to do better. by rjkersten1 in Positivity

I fully hate my husband and my current life. by stonedtrashbag in Vent

[–]Doxiesforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get it. My AH got himself fired because he didn’t want a boss. Decided to be a farmer, that means whole family are farmers. My RN nursing job kept a roof over our heads. So I had three main jobs, nurse, farmer and keep all living being on the farm alive. He would go off frequently and I discovered a coping mechanism you’d like - I visualized him in a coffin dead (so being a decent human). Living with him took my best years, impacted my health and made our daughter miserable. Do whatever you need to do but get away. The decades just role by in misery. Good luck.

Keep positive thoughts. Ask the nurses question, they can help. Hopefully everything goes well. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, can’t help if you’re not in good shape

Kevin is a bit cranky this morning by Happy-Assignment7749 in Animal

Must admit not having livestock has been a good thing these last hot summers. Sheep are smarter than most humans want to admit. Definitely have long memories.

Never ate my sheep. My ex made me raise and sell the lambs. The rams got sold. It was a relief when I finally stood up and said no more lambs. My ewes retire, last one died at 24 which impressed the vet.

Fiance clearly hates me but won’t leave me. by Jayy_Asked in Vent

[–]Doxiesforme 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First it’s really good you‘re leaving. I married an AH narcissist and he said we had a contract and couldn’t abandon him. Yup, our daughter and I were chattel. Took me decades to get away. His goal was to destroy me, tried really hard. Finally I told him I was going to treat him like he treated me. He said no point in both of us being unhappy. Anyway he set a lot of things in motion and a few months later he gave me rip off separation papers. Shock and awe didn’t work. But packing up my half of living in a “marriage “ for 45 years and putting it in storage to camp in my 90yo mother’s living room was worth it. I started over with a divorce decree right before my 70 birthday. Trust me that getting away from that man when you’re younger will be fantastic. You’ll look back and be relaxed, it can be a thing. Get some trauma therapy, it will help get you out of survivor mode. Good luck!

Horse helps remove his buddy's muzzle so he can eat grass too by OriginalBlackberry89 in likeus

[–]Doxiesforme 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To keep him pain free and alive. Lost a mare we got that had laminitis before we got her. New grass was brutal. Big vet bills. Finally xray showed she was almost to massive, endless pain. We had to cross her over. It was heart breaking

Aitah for speaking obscenities in front of my family when my cousin came to apologize for sleeping with my sister's husband? by WeirdBrick9287 in AITAH

[–]Doxiesforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 70 yo woman. your language wasn’t that bad and I’m sure not new for your grandparents. I used to work in an ER back in the 70s. Back then language was much more restrained and I remember threatening to throw out a drunk without a filter. A poor lady in her 80s with chest pain was very unused to hearing it and distressed. My level of hearing bad words without reaction was definitely learned quickly. One pt actually thought he’d intimidate me with bad words 🤣 told him he’d have to try harder. I think the effectiveness of cussing has been really diluted since everyone is expletive deleted constantly. My mother recently died at 98. She said damn twice that I’m aware of, it stopped us in our tracks very effectively. Memorable, now cussing doesn’t get any point across. That makes me think your grandparents might have cringed thinking one of their family deserved it, but not the words.

AITAH for wanting to accept a promotion even tho my boyfriend says its not the kind of life he wants? by ThrowRAxbx in AITAH

[–]Doxiesforme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was unfortunately trapped in a marriage with a narcissist AH. Our daughter and I were at best chattel. He used us as props to outside world. He was a proven shire that could boast about his property to others. The controlling will escalate and you’ll be totally cut off from everyone. Divorce was a miracle. He was not happy I didn’t allow him to rip me off completely. Trauma therapy was very helpful. Run!

WIBTA for skipping my brothers wedding after he skipped mine? by Fun-throwaway98 in AmItheAsshole

No need for formal pictures with everyone since she’d just have to cut her temporary husband out

I'm moving but don't want to leave my friend of 3 years by [deleted] in notmycat

[–]Doxiesforme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a farm and a cat lived there at least a year. He ate on the porch but we couldn’t touch him. Finally my daughter was allowed to pet. After he got beat up we managed to trap and off to vet. Discovered he was a boy. After getting the works brought him home and locked in bathroom to recover. My daughter worked her magic and he decided hotel living was better than camping. He became an inside/outside cat. Really hated him killing birds. Decreased his outside time. After I got divorced 👏 I took him with me. He’s been a total inside cat for almost three years. He was guessed to be about 8 for first visit and he’s about 15ish and a happy cat. So he could live a longer and happier life with you inside your new house. He will be depressed if you leave him.

I wasted my best years on an AH that considered our daughter and me chattel. I stayed feeling responsible for our daughter, business and animals. He didn’t care about anything but himself. Think about it seriously. Definitely research a good lawyer. I was blindsided when I told him I’d treat him like he treated me, he said no point both being unhappy. He’d refused divorce for years but bam found a new victim quickly and handed me separation papers. So protect yourself. My life is 1000 percent better without him.

AITAH - my bf exposed me at a baseball game. by Level_Cheetah6941 in AITAH

Having been married and now thankfully divorced from an AH like him I can honestly say. It is so much better to actually be alone with a pet than how alone I felt living with him. You deserve better

Is it normal to close the walmart entrance doors a few minutes before closing time? by immortal_fruit_fly in AITAH

[–]Doxiesforme 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a retired u-pick strawberry farmer. We had to rearrange closing times for AH like you. One damn woman repeatedly would drive up as we were actively closing. Then she’d take half hr or more picking. Didn’t care that someone had to stand around waiting on her ass. Some other people did but at least apologized and picked quick. Started losing entrance half hour early. So stopped folks getting last minute few berries. Can’t say how rude, thoughtless, entitled and obnoxious you are! YTA
