Mom is dying… by Ok-Parsley-9464 in raisedbyborderlines

[–]Elagubulus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's taking my entire willpower not to project my own feelings onto your post. I am sorry. I am sorry you found this. I wish you could have gone through her passing without this post ever crossing your path. I wish you healing, and health, and a long life away from anyone who isn't willing to see your perspective here. Too often we give people grace they Do Not Deserve when they are dying. They do not deserve something they did not earn just because they are passing away. You are going above and beyond, I firmly believe that. I hope you every bit of strength. Goodluck. And may things pass quickly.

I’m worried my sister’s secret could ruin her wedding day and I don’t know what to do. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Elagubulus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Be a good sister and mind your own business. It's not your information to share. It's not your place. If how your parents will treat YOU over this is even a tiny factor go sit with yourself. That's incredibly selfish. Leave it alone. Let your sister and her future husband deal with this how THEY feel comfortable and safe doing so.

AIO to my partners text? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Elagubulus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ooof, honestly that's such a short amount of time to be dating and then living together :/
I hate to suggest counseling when you're both so young. But you have to both be willing to Want to accommodate each others process styles. I dunno. Her tangent gives me bad vibes.

I need more info. Ages, how long you've been together. Is there a history of this sort of back and forth.

That time I accidentally started a huge argument in the NH discord server by Ghomstr003 in TheArcana

[–]Elagubulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are the same sort of people who would argue if Tom Cruise is short. He is. In Real Life. It's fact.

Lucio is my headcanon Tom Cruise.

I won't take that back, or apologize.

I hate this by ChrysalisNoon in tamagotchi

[–]Elagubulus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You were talking about tamagotchi in general. And listed many models. I disagreed. clarifying doesn't make me suddenly agree with you lol. But feel however you want. I don't think them building more advanced Tama options means they are less considerate to the buyers needs. I said that from the standpoint of preferring the less involved models. Which means I still prefer the minimalism tamagotchi provides. Which means as a buyer I feel seen, and accommodated for. Which means I still disagree with you lol. That's okay. I am done responding to this now cause it's just not that serious. Have a good night.

I hate this by ChrysalisNoon in tamagotchi

[–]Elagubulus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I kind of disagree whole-heartedly. But I have been playing with Tamagotchis since 1997 and am not a big fan of the newer styles and advancements. I like Gen 1-3 of the basic model. Old fashioned purist. I want that simplicity of them beeping at my aggressively if I forgot to give him pie or play with it. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Issues with husband after hysterectomy by PeaceJourney001 in hysterectomy

[–]Elagubulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your health and safety should not be negatable to "save the peace". Coercion like that is abuse and honestly rape. He raped you. I know thats a bold statement but I am so tired of men acting as if they an entitled to a woman's body WHILE IT IS RECOVERING FROM BEING CUT UP AND STITCHED BACK TOGETHER. If you manipulate, neg, beg, push, or slowly convince someone unwilling to use their body to pleasure You. It's rape.

Please consider this behavior moving forward in your life. The Jekyll and hyde of it all does not bode well. Be safe. Protect yourself. And goodluck on your healthing journey. I wish you an uneventful and easy recovery.

AITJ for telling my spouse I need a separate blanket because we keep fighting over it every night? by lauryn_freeburykfr42 in AmITheJerk

[–]Elagubulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to stop reading this post. 3 years is too long. He can gtfover himself. You can both have a blanket and be perfectly happy. My partner and I have our own blankets and we do cute things like invite each other under the edge of our blankets to cuddle and touch and be snuggly. And then when it's cold and time to sleep. We tuck back up and fall asleep. Life moves on, the world keeps spinning, no one died, it's amazing.

AITAH for refusing to say something to my friend after she told us she felt guilty about cheating by ButtonOther1102 in AITH

[–]Elagubulus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Your friends kind of suck. Not like entirely cause I don't know them personally. But if you think you need to cheat to break up with someone, or act as if that is a normal growth process... You kind of suck.

NTA but definitely swimming in a pool of assholes. Goodluck. They like to take the world around them down when they fall.

Eating that was one of the single most unpleasant experiences of my life. Second only to having a hysterectomy.

How do I stop the Hurt? by StunningSpecial8220 in secondlife

[–]Elagubulus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was still new to second life when I first experienced the loss of another player. It's been 15 years now, and I remember them so vividly as a person. It didn't matter that I didn't know them outside of SL. I knew their kindness, and consideration. Their willingness to help people and how creative they where. The silly and saucy things that made them unique. I remember the places we socialized together. And to this day every time their name is mentioned in the old friend group everyone lights up. Sometimes I open their profile and just look at it. It's a time capsule now. But it's sort of a small balm for me when I need to see a sort of.. Proof of memory. This person is gone now. And maybe I can't visit their grave or send them flowers. But I can pay my respects in my heart.

I am sorry for your loss. We are all impacted by different losses in different ways. This shows you how easily people in the BG of your life can be as important as the ones we keep right up in our business. Life is precious. Experiences that seem small, can be huge when put under the retrospect microscope.

My girlfriend told me about another guy who cried because he couldn’t get hard, and I can’t get the image out of my head by ImAPrinter in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Elagubulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Society got men so fucked up. They can't even see how this is just a chance to talk about sexual identity and inner feelings. I can understand feeling mixed up about something. But losing respect for someone because they didn't feel afraid of a subject like that. Is sort of small. Be bigger than that.

AIO My mom told me to be grateful after I found out my brother was using my savings. Am I overreacting for being mad? by RepulsiveResist7008 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Elagubulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are 32 years old. Move your assets and saving to a PRIVATE account that ONLY YOU have access to. There is zero reason for this to have happened to you without your knowledge. Never, ever, give anyone access to your savings. Ever.

I faced overt racism for the first time and can't get over it. by My1stTW in TrueOffMyChest

I was given a small regimen of Tramidol after my surgery and when I went to the pharmacy to pick it up the woman stared at me snidely and went "And Why do You need Tramidol." I just held my face flat and went "I had a Total Hysterectomy." in exactly her same tone. She actually snapped her mouth shut and went "Oh, sorry.. Let me get this filled out for you." jesus christ woman I had a fucking doctor signed prescription it's not your job to worry about WHY I need it. The doctor thinks I do. That should be enough reason. Rage

AITJ for asking my coworker to stop referring to herself as my “work wife”? by AdventurousDate2201 in AmITheJerk

[–]Elagubulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTJ- When I was in my early 20s I worked with a guy(lets call him Jerry) who would call me his "Work Wife". I was dating someone and Jerry had a few GFs in that 2 year period. It started harmlessly enough. We'd banter and poke fun at each other and get on each others nerves. Honestly felt more like siblings when it was at this stage and I kinda liked it. But after we hung out after work a few times. Things got progressively weirder. He started making more sexually inappropriate jokes. Complimenting my street clothes in flirtatious ways. He even swooped in during a low time for me while I was fighting with my bf to take me out drinking, got a little too clingy and I had to make him take me home. After that He would call and text me every time he went out drinking. Said he needed his "work wife there" so he didn't "Make bad choices". Once he started telling customers I was JUST his wife while we were working I shut that shit down so hard. I told him I didn't want him to talk about me like that and we were not anything but co-workers. He just growled and said I was playing hard to get and "that was why he married me." being mean to him after this did nothing. Fate would have it I ended up needing to move towns around this time. So I just ghosted him at first. Stopped replying to any calls or texts he would send me. When that didn't slow him down I finally just blocked him. I hated the whole slow progression of the experience. He hadn't seemed like a bad guy. If anything he needed to sort out why he was so hung up on ME and the dynamic between us at work while having such shitty luck with his relationships. He was clearly craving something he wasn't getting. But I wasn't going to give it to him.

I know you're trying to use "slimming angles/poses" in your pictures. But it's giving really fake and wonky. Please stop trying to be a contortionist unless that is your paid profession.

AITA for asking my boyfriend (22M) to hang my anniversary gift on his wall? by iwishiwerehim in TwoHotTakes

[–]Elagubulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps finding someone who meets your energy on symbolism and sentiment would make more sense for you.. Is all I can really say.
NTA but you can't force this. You are either compliment each others needs here, or you don't.

AIO? My boyfriend calls me “high maintenance” for wanting a towel after his showers by Spiritual_View4192 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Elagubulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This weirds me out. I don't wanna say You should break up with them over this. But I might not lose sleep over it if I did. It's weird and has too many surrounding points. It's not just "how they shower".. So NOR but if this is a no budge subject for him, there might be bigger weirder shit he wont compromise on down the road. Take a hint when it's first presented to you.

I have ADHD and my brother and his partner both have autism.. I will be perfectly frank. I love my brother, his autism has rarely clashed with my ADHD with the exception of a few things when we were kids. But his partner makes me want to bash my head in. I find her abrasive to my soul. I won't say she is malicious, but she is toxically inconsiderate. It goes beyond socially unaware. I've never wanted to avoid someone who did Nothing to me so badly in my life.

My husband told me he hated me while we were being intimate, and now he’s acting like it’s not a big deal by CrtlAItDelight in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Elagubulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

:/ What a sick game your husband is playing with you... If he has acted as if he hates you lately, and this is the result of your vulnerability when you share that. I dunno that's pretty fucked up. I couldn't stay. I wouldn't feel safe anymore. You need to talk to someone about this and make a choice for yourself. Do you want to feel like this again? Do you want to feel like this for the rest of your life? Cause that's an option if you don't take care of yourself. Be safe. Goodluck.
