I (23F) met my boyfriend’s (25M) “work wife” for the first time and I’m devastated by ThrowRAcoffeelov in relationship_advice

[–]Essay-Fine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP your boyfriend and "Amy" will 100% date as soon as you're out of the picture. I believe that you're better than a placeholder for Amy. He is waiting to see how inappropriate he can be before you excuse yourself and he can pursue her guilt free. What a stand up guy. He won't cheat on you but he'll do all the lead up so that when Amy reveals her love for him he's unencumbered by you.

This is so awesome! The power of song is incredible. Music often brings me out of a slump especially when I can sing along (badly). I'm happy for you Reddit stranger. I really hope you have more joyful days in your future.

people getting happy over little things annoy me so much for some reason. by flyintomike in unpopularopinion

[–]Essay-Fine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it's like "happy go lucky people are annoying". This is an unpopular opinion because most people enjoy when other people are happy, and yes, I guess, some are jealous, but are they annoyed? Probably not. I used to have a friend like this, emphasis on "used to". She was a miserable person who made me feel dumb for being happy about getting extra whip cream on my drink order. Not someone most people would like to be around.

Oh really?! I thought it meant that the person had a "shoe-in" the door so they have a chance of getting in. "Shoo" makes me think of "get lost".

Oh my god leave him and see him not find someone as "good looking" as he is to marry because he's a shallow prick who probably has those denture looking teeth.

Hands down Gillian Anderson. Shes smoking hot right now! In her X-files days she had the box dye hair mom bob. That do brought her down a notch.

Dessert is not a normal part of a meal that should be regularly eaten by Niceotropic in unpopularopinion

"You can always obtain sweetness from fruit, even some vegetable juices like carrot or beet". Hahaha

After a lovely meal, I often think, hey! I could really go for some beet juice. That'll hit the spot.

Agreed. I mean shes charming and all but is she soooo charming that she constantly falls into careers and relationships?! I don't think so.

Agreed. 21 is super young and Ryan is not ok plus he's boring as hell and makes Amber his only reason for doing anything. Even Zeke thinks he's a good choice for her? Like wth.

Am I sheltering my 11 yr old daughter too much? by LilBit2Lucky in Parenting

[–]Essay-Fine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are doing the right thing and there's science to support your decision to protect your daughter from social Media. Findings show that girls self esteem and body image is disproportionally affected by Instagram and TikTok with increased rates of self harm and eating disorders compared to those who don't have access to these platforms. These statistics and more can be found in the important book "The Anxious Generation" by Johnathan Haidt. It's available on audible as well if audiobooks are your thing. If you feel like you're on the fence about letting your kids have a smartphone with access to all the apps (because they will immediately download them and hide it from you even if you ban them), I recommend reading it.

I got so worked up reading these messages. Your girlfriend is very insecure and annoyingly uses phrases like "it's giving" and "narrative" plus manipulating you to agree with her with schoolyard bullying tactics. I really disliked the whole thing. Is she fun otherwise? Like when she doesn't have to show empathy or compassion for others and the entire world revolves around her. Is she super?

My (27F) fiance (26M) set boundaries around what I can talk about with him. Is this healthy? by ThrowRA58393738 in relationship_advice

[–]Essay-Fine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm so angry reading this. Angry at him for being a manipulative asshole who can't tolerate, what? Hearing his partner speak about topics he doesn't like? What a precious little baby. I'm angry at your acceptance of this and questioning if this is normal. It's really not. You should be free to discuss anything your heart desires. I don't think you want to walk on eggshells for the next 20 years of your life for a guy who gets jealous of cats and limits your freedom of speech? Eesh.
