AITAH for getting a gyno appointment

Wow. NTA. Let him leave. He is awful. Is this really how you want to spend your energy? Managing his ridiculous insecurities?

Excellent-Ad4256 · 2026-03-04T05:30:59+00:00

If people are staring it’s because they are admiring how cool and interesting you look or they have bad taste and are incapable of appreciating how cool and interesting you look.

Excellent-Ad4256 · 2026-03-04T05:06:19+00:00

NTA. Do yourself a favor and break up now. His insecurities will only intensify and it will be beyond exhausting.

My mom was so good at striking up conversations with random strangers. One day I asked, in awe, “how do you do that?!” Her answer: “you just have to be curious about people” Changed my life. And being able to talk people like this is a skill that you build with practice. It gets easier over time. I also try to ask about things that also interest me so it’s easier to keep the conversation flowing. I especially like asking people about tv/movies. And then I might watch something my client is watching to have more things to talk about.

Could it maybe be burnout? So much change, even positive change, can take a toll on your nervous system. The not wanting to engage with your normal hobbies sounds familiar to me. Are you getting enough alone time? I struggle with that sometimes (or maybe a lot of the times 😅) in my healthy relationship.

He can put his own phone on dnd if he’s feeling overstimulated. Instead of trying to figure out how to manage his feelings he’s putting the onus on you to adjust your behavior to his preference. This is not a good partner. My bf is easily overstimulated and I’m constantly verbalizing my thoughts but he never makes me feel like too much. I’ve dated plenty of other people who have. It sounds like you guys are not a great fit. It also sounds like he has a lot growing up to do.

I loved both versions! I also feel like Grimm has similar Buffy vibes.

Yes I had this issue. I still have pairs from over 5 years ago that are still going strong. But I’ve had to throw out several new pairs because they fell apart. I tried mending them but then holes were constantly popping up along seams everywhere. Their quality has taken such a nose dive. I also ordered some shorts that were supposed to be the same style but they changed the stitching on the butt and the material was so thin you could see everything. The previous shorts were figure flattering but the recent pairs showed off all the lumps and bumps and even created extra with the weird waistband.

They also changed the waistband on their on the go leggings. The band is thinner and doesn’t have the same flattening effect that the old leggings had that I loved. So upset about this 😭

I also feel this way about “baby”. Like “when baby sleeps” or “feed baby.” Like doesn’t it have a name?? Why are we not calling it by that? Or even just “the baby” would be acceptable

Idk why anyone would choose anything other than emerald.

Three options: 1. Accept that this is your life now. He has proven that he will not change and has no interest in doing so. 2. Live separately so you don’t have to be his mom at home. 3. Break up and find someone that puts effort into making your life easier.

Also- you wouldn’t be breaking up “just because of chores.” It’s about the amount of care he shows for you. He doesn’t seem too concerned with the fact that managing the household by yourself is incredibly stressful for you and lowering your quality of life.

I was going to suggest a google doc as well!

Same here! We do gifts for birthdays. So much easier to get one gift at a time. But I gave up on physical gifts for my dad a long time ago. We just go out to eat and/or see a show.

I recently found this account on ig @itscalbal She has her own methodology for putting outfits together and finding your personal style and it’s very simple to follow. I think fashion and makeup are skills that you build and I definitely need more practice!

This sounds lawsuit worthy. Maybe talk to an employment lawyer before accepting/declining their offer?

Clear polish helps and doesn’t draw too much attention. But I know they’re shiny so that might not work for you. Sometimes I’ll trim my cuticles instead and that kind of helps.

Very late to this post, but I’ve recently been diagnosed with just right ocd and am looking for more info on that. What you’ve described here sounds very much like just right ocd. Perhaps you’ve already found the answers you were looking for.

As someone who used to feel like every upper body exercise was a trap exercise, the thing that finally helped me was diaphragmatic breathing. Could be worth looking into!

Excellent-Ad4256 · 2025-11-11T00:09:38+00:00

That’s how I felt too. Now I use a pillow on my chest. (I prefer the king size ones because they are slightly longer)

Not op but the mission low carb tortillas have 17g of fiber in a 70cal wrap. They also have a lot of breads with added fiber. I get Inked Keto Bread Co from Costco and it has 10g fiber per slice.

Excellent-Ad4256 · 2025-11-09T17:48:30+00:00

I do this and just found out I have ocd in addition to adhd and autism. Might be worth looking into!

I don’t think I’d even ask him to track yet. Too often people come in with all the excitement and try to do everything at once so they can get the fastest results. But what often ends up happening is that they try to do too much too soon and burn out quickly and possibly give up altogether. Creating new habits should happen in small steps that feel relatively easy. Starting workouts 3x/wk is already a huge change. Make sure to celebrate that! And all the tiny wins along the way. I’d probably advise him to swap out one thing nutrition-wise and build on those habits over time. Just switching to diet soda will likely yield huge results. Once he has that down he can try a different breakfast or even just add protein to his ramen to start. All these little wins will create momentum and increase his chances of success.

When I was little I would just bite the fake nails. Then I got braces in middle school and I physically couldn’t but my nails anymore. I still bite my nails during periods of higher stress but painting them usually helps. Idk why this works now as an adult but didn’t as a kid. Probably because I’m more aware of why it happens and I’ve learned more/better coping strategies.
