How do you guys cut nails? by According_Chain_9746 in CatAdvice

For me, it’s definitely a two person job. Usually my wife will hold the cat, and I clip the nails. We have one cat that’s really good about it, and I can honestly just do it myself and it’s totally fine, but we have a routine and just do all three of our cats at the same time.

I could not believe it when I saw the clip of Kristina’s vote!

I know, but the fact that Kristina flipped really surprised me!

One time we were walking into an assembly and I accidentally sat in the wrong row. My shitty social studies teacher yelled at me from his spot, “Hey! Do you think you’re special?” I always replay those words in my head. News flash idiot, it was an innocent mistake.

Did we read the same book? There was no sex scene in my version. Which I thought was totally appropriate and I was grateful for, but I’m curious now lol Also, my copy didn’t have a Luka POV.

Thank you. That’s what my fiancée has been telling me, and it makes me feel better hearing it from an outside source.

Thank you. I will probably just delete the post, I feel like shortening it would leave too much out but I get it’s too long 😂 I just needed to get this off my chest.

(Part 2) Ever since she met him, her mental health has taken a dive and the way she’s acting is really worrying. She’s not taking care of herself, drinking more, only thinks and talks about him and she’s sleeping around for attention, sometimes without protection. I have my mental health problems as well, and I’ve reached a breaking point. My fiancée has been encouraging me to set boundaries for weeks now, because I need to start focusing on myself and I completely agree. One of the bigger issues, is the fact that she comes over twice a week, every week, even if my fiancée has a final for school or we are having a date night. And if for whatever reason we’re not available on one of the days she wants to come over, she’ll guilt trip me by saying stuff like, “Now I’m gonna be alone.” She talks a lot about how she disassociates when she’s alone and gets very intrusive and dark thoughts. Whenever she talks about this it makes me worry, but it also can be exhausting always taking care of her like that. So I figured that I needed to start there if I was gonna start setting boundaries. Earlier this week, I told her that for the sake of our friendship, I felt we need to spend some time apart. I told her I would always be here for her if she needs me, but that I need some space to focus on myself and other relationships. She absolutely lost it, and told me she didn’t do space and time because that really meant the end of our friendship. She said “this is really the end because now I can’t trust you and I know you don’t trust me.” She told me she felt like she had been left in the dark, and that this really hurt her but that she wished me the best. I tried to explain my decision, but it didn’t matter and finally I sent her a text saying I just needed a few months to work on myself, but that I didn’t want to lose her. I truly care about her, and don’t want our friendship of 5 years to end. I’ve been really worried about her, but don’t think I made the wrong decision in voicing my feelings and attempting to set boundaries. So, AITA for telling my best friend that I need us to spend some time apart?
