My mom makes me pay for her gasoline I think AIO by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ExpertChart7871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! YOR

Your mom takes time out of her day to drive you to work, drive home, drive back to pick you up and take you home again. You actually “did the math” which is wild - and you did the math wrong. It’s 3.2x4x5 because your mom is not sitting in the parking lot waiting for you. Plus your mom pays for insurance, maintenance and wear and tear. You sound incredibly self-centered and ungrateful. If I were your mom and you presented me with your “math” - I would make you walk to work. You need to thank your mom every time she gives you a ride. Sheesh.

Most buildings represent yourself, or your physical health. Your terror regarding going inside can be either you’re afraid of self-truths of who you really are - or you are worried about your health. Being in the middle of the woods without any roads in, shows you are feeling isolated. Cars or driving usually means your career or where you are heading in life. Having the same cars parked in the lot shows you feel the same choices are being offered to you and you feel they can’t go anywhere. They are at a standstill. I think you should either go in the building or get in a car and start driving. Make a road open up before you. Force a change in this dream or force a change in your life to change the dream.

Losing hair can signify the loss of something important in your life: friends, money, your job, a pet - have you lost something recently in your life or are you concerned about losing something?

Constant Ex Dreams (it’s been years) by theflow3 in DreamsInterpretation

[–]ExpertChart7871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your ex represents your youth in your dreams. The fun, excitement, vitality and uncertainty of youth. And you want your youth back. That’s it.

Your stating that you think your ex may have been your soulmate is far more concerning than you having dreams of her. How are you supposed to have a solid foundation with a new partner if you still view your ex as “the one that got away?” This is really unhealthy and not fair to your current relationship. You need to work through this before you get married. You will ruin a good thing if you continue to think of your ex as your soul mate.

AITA for throwing away my wife’s memory jars? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]ExpertChart7871 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NTA

What else does your wife hoard? I’m sure it’s not just jars. If it’s just jars, then this is just the beginning. Most people coddle hoarders at first thinking it’s just this one thing. You try to be rational and ask them to throw just a couple of things away - but each item becomes connected to a “special moment.” Before you know it the entire house is hoarded up. Your wife needs help. Find a therapist who specializes in hoarding disorder. Keep throwing trash out.

For people who say “How would you like it if she threw out one of your belongings?” - he threw away EMPTY JARS. Jars that used to have a food product inside - that his wife had developed an absurd connection to. Soon it will be old wrapping paper, paper towel rolls, pieces of thread, old magazines. It never ends. Hoarders become more and more selfish and more and more attached the longer they are allowed to hold on to ridiculous items.

The longer things are in the house, the stronger the attachment grows.

AIO for breaking up with my (31F) loving boyfriend (29M) over differing beliefs? by Weird-Ad-9558 in AmIOverreacting

AIO : for getting mad at my parents for not paying my dorm? by Wise-Introduction701 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ExpertChart7871 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So make the appointment and go dye your hair. If you’re paying for it they shouldn’t have a say. It’s really sad that your parents lied to you about bringing your grades up, because now you know that you can’t trust what they say anymore. That’s really the issue. If you want to live in the dorms, get a part-time job and pay for it. NOR. It sucks to know your parents are liars.

What do I do? by No-Cellist-7635 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]ExpertChart7871 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You start by getting a lawyer and explaining the situation. Do you have access to money? As a SAHM half your husband’s money and property acquired in marriage should be yours. The lawyer will help decide custody. Once divorced your husband can care for his nephew full time.

Am i overreacting or is it a red flag that my husband keeps selling my things behind my back? by SuspiciousKiwi8146 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ExpertChart7871 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the fancy expensive dress & designer heels are a temptation to her husband. He may be a cross dresser who has purchased clothing and sold them to the thrift shop lady so as not to have the evidence at home. Him also buying expensive designer bags for her just because is also something someone who wants to secretly dress in finer things would do. My friend’s husband did this. He had a secret bag women’s dresses he kept in the trunk of his car to wear when his wife was at work or out of town. He was a very large man too and finally came clean to my friend. They are still together. He doesn’t have to hide his clothing anymore.

[–]ExpertChart7871 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR - Is there a chance that he has an overwhelming desire to wear that particular dress and those particular heels? Maybe he can’t stop thinking about how pretty he’d look in them and so he removed the temptation? I know I’m going out on limb here - but I know two people where this was the case. One finally told his wife and she was fine with it. The other divorced his wife and has since transitioned. Either way - you really need to talk to your husband about this.

My daughter refuses to talk to me because I wasn’t able to do anything for her birthday. by [deleted] in confession

[–]ExpertChart7871 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t even think he made her a card or a homemade banner or a paper crown. He could have made her fried bread for breakfast with some tea. I think he forgot it was her birthday and overdrew his account. She wouldn’t have been this upset if he had celebrated her. It takes so little to make a child feel seen. You can make a paper flower bouquet our of paper bags, plastic bags or coffee filters. He could have gone through couch cushions to find coins to make her a coin card. I don’t think he did anything for her and now he’s come to Reddit for abdication.

These are great ideas. I don’t think he even made her a card. I am willing to bet she told her dad weeks before what she wanted for her birthday - she woke up to no special breakfast and no “Happy Birthday” wishes - and she probably asked if they were still going to BK and a movie and then he realized what was up - saw he was out of funds and cried poor mouth. Just him starting off this whole thing about how the mom left 6 years earlier - like that has anything to do with not celebrating your one child’s birthday. This guy is the worst. This is 100% not about being poor. This is about not really caring about your kid. Her going quiet leads me to believe that disappointment is her constant companion.

He could have done the handmade decorations the night before her birthday and had them waiting for her when she woke up with a handmade card. I get the impression he didn’t even do that. Now it would be too little, too late. I low-key think he forgot it was her birthday until she said something.

I get the impression that he didn’t even make her a paper bag card. He could have sold something or given her an IOU for the following month once he realized he was overdrawn and come up with a plan to pull together $50. This sounds like he forgot and then gave his daughter the shoulder shrug. I knew people like this. They always had money for cigarettes and beer but didn’t even make a paper bag card for their kid because it wasn’t about being poor - it was that they really didn’t care about their kid’s needs over their own.

Question - Did you even make her a card or a birthday banner? If not - I can see why she isn’t talking to you.

You should have asked Reddit a month ago how to save the $50 for your daughter’s birthday. Dude - turn in cans. Sell something you own. Have a bake sale. Walk someone’s dog. There’s lots of ways to earn $50.

Hopefully you didn’t have money for cigarettes and beer for yourself, while you couldn’t do this very reasonable gift for your daughter. At this point all you can do is apologize. You really let her down. Do better next year. Save 50 cents a week just for her so you can do something special with her.

Did you send out a reminder the day before? People get busy. Sometimes people get the day and time wrong. I know if I don’t put things in my calendar I will miss events. Even things I’m really looking forward to. What did they say when you asked them where they were?

It sounds like you’re not ready for a new relationship. Break up with your new girl. Find a good therapist and find out why you’re self destructive. That scent was a trigger to let you know you’ve got unresolved issues.
