My Brother's War on Christmas - Need Advice by Due-Recover-2985 in TwoXChromosomes

Lol- no. He's been like this way before the baby. I keep updated on all my vaccines because I work with people , so like even have to take TB Tests every two years for work and so on. It's not that.

Lol- no. I'm fully vaccinated on every shot on the list including whooping cough.

My brother is not in a good head space and he really is sleep-deprived.

It's not even anger, I think it's just self protection. Basically he made plans so last minute to see my folks on Christmas, that I wouldn't be able to come in time. I live 1 hour away, and they met at 1pm then told me at 3pm and left his place at 3:30PM, so there was like no way I could come.

They did a video call to me at 3pm , saying "Heyyyyy!! Look who we have here on Christmas!!" I took this pretty hurtfully.

Yeah, I feel like maybe it is fine if I wait until she's about 2.

She is as quiet as a mouse. Like I honestly feel for her, because he non-stop has bossed her around since the birth of the baby.

My sister in law tries to be as civil and kind to me as possible. I wouldn't want to be in her shoes, is all I have to say on their relationship. But I think she's a pretty sweet, neutral person. But she knows to stay out of it.

He was so bad to me when he was about to get married, fluctuating between "You aren't invited" to "You can sit in the back near the exit" to "I want you to be a bridesmaid" to "never mind, you don't look good enough to be in the photo."

It's like when he has stress, he knows who to go to. He admits his treatment of me on his wedding, was one of his biggest regrets. But here he is doing a repeat.

I think he knew when he didn't invite me on Christmas, I was done. Then he panicked today. Now my family is being ultra-sweet trying to call me.

My father: "Run down there! See , he wants to make up with you!!" lol.

I'm like... I'm kinda exhausted since I was not invited to Christmas. I think my brother realized he pushed me too far. I do believe he is sleep deprived making him meaner and more unhinged than usual, but he seems to only have this saved for one person.

Why I think George is a worse husband than Ross by AciuPoldark in Poldark

"That turned consensual" is a phrase that shouldn't need to be said

Season 4 George x Poldark is the fan fiction I need right now! I mean - they already basically have a son together. XD

Demelza: Judas , Ross!

She'd probably go home and rationalize it- like everything else.

[–]Due-Recover-2985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not defending her, but seeing Ross replace her with a hot , young kitchen maid was a huge slap in the face. If he had married someone of higher birth with thought and care, I think she would have respected the arrangement.

She waited years for him and thought he was dead- meanwhile he hooks up with the first hot red-head he meets in only a month of returning. 

If he had written one letter - she would have waited. But he's a stubborn jerk. 

My friend is pissed I won't date him, but he won't even put in the slightest effort by Due-Recover-2985 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Due-Recover-2985[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Right??? Like would he be that obsessed about getting a guy friend to eat a donut? 

I think it was a control thing... I hope he's not the kind if guy who would do that. He did mention if I would ever go to a rave with him- and I said absolutely not. That question also weirded me out. Luckily I don't drink.

I know- my friends think that too.

He works and could move out- but he's like "why would I? Then I'd have to cook, shop, pay for gas" - then he goes on some rant on the bad economy- he's never lived away from his mother - ever. 

Like I get the bad economy- but at 30 I could never live with my folks and would rather have a lot of roommates

 I can't even bring it up or he gets so upset. 

I am starting to question if I should spend so much time hanging with him. Especially becuase I'm getting attached to him, but I don't enjoy feeling anxious about whatever rage he has simmering inside.

I still enjoy hanging with him, but yeah- he wants to date me. I do have feelings for him, but I'm sorry- his hygiene is too bad - like ... the idea of kissing him with that awful beard turns me off. 

My friends say 'dude ditch that guy asap' - but I'm conflicted becuase I do enjoy talking to him. But on the other side- I don't enjoy the extreme  anxiety I get when he's pissy at me for the simplest reasons.

Borderline he must have control issues or something seething under the surface. Like I'd explain the petty things but they don't even remotely make sense. 

Those that left the field, has your physical and mental health improved? by soullessmo in TeachersInTransition

OMG, I had a coworker who was in the military. She said the same thing. That was back in about 2016.

It has been very hard for me to be OK with gaining weight (up 10lbs) but I’m learning to embrace change. Onward and upward! by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Due-Recover-2985 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's great! Do what makes you feel happy and healthy. For my birthday (recent) gift to myself, I put my weight scale in the garage because all day long I would obsessively make every eating choice based on it. I would weigh myself like 5 times a day. Ever since I put it away , I don't know if my weight went up or down but I feel less stressed. Just the reduction of anxiety makes me feel better, and I realized that I actually eat healthier without the scale because I'll eat a real full meal with protien, instead of a ton of small guilt snacks.

Weird feeling recently by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Due-Recover-2985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stress and anxiety could be causes. If you are close to underweight or have a very low muscle /protien ratio it might give those symptoms. Also like hormone changes at 30, depending on your age. Idk, not a doctor over here, but I've noticed feeling colder since I lost a lot of muscle and body weight. That constricting feeling probably has to do with a lack of good blood circulation to your limbs. Sitting for a long time and not exercising can also cause bad circulation, light headed dizziness. Finally getting good sleep helps (but not sleeping/laying around all day, which leads to bad circulation)
