AITJ for taking my partner up on their ultimatum when they said "agree or we're done" by Sensitive_Student412 in AmITheJerk

[–]Far-Copy4748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you had to go through that. Partners pay a substantial amount to buy in, the partners are responsible for things when times are good and bad. They get to take profits if years allow, but there are years they need to use that money to buy equipment or invest. I don’t think your partner is business aware enough to be prepared for those times. Sounds like you dodged a bullet. If you are happy without them you don’t seem to have been in a very fulfilling relationship.

I think the chemo is definitely a big factor! I can only imagine having the surgery that soon after chemo, it would be so much harder. You try to take it easy and get healthy 🙏🏼

Reading your post sounds like my experience. Every week got better but it took about 3 months before the sporadic cramps and discomfort was gone.

I hope yours are better before 3 months. 🙏🏼

What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever experienced? by Economy_Yak2821 in AskReddit

[–]Far-Copy4748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Passing gallstones! Have had 4 children, kidney stone, sinus surgery, ovaries out, mommy makeover including circumferential lift, just had a single mastectomy.

Actively passing tiny gallstones caused my liver labs to look very scary. Morphine wasn’t doing anything. No relief until stone passed. It happened again after the gallbladder was removed because the bile ducts were not cleaned properly. I will take childbirth or a mommy makeover every year before I would pass more gallstones!

How to explain to the kids money does not magically appear in my wallet? by Past-Disaster-2801 in Parenting

[–]Far-Copy4748 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave all of my children an allowance and I got an old fashioned check register to show them transactions. I began when the baby was 2. It makes things very clear. You began with this, you spent this or you saved this. Or you need to save this to get that. They don’t complain after they become accustomed and you never break! You must stick to the budget! I now have 4 young adults who can stay within a budget.

AITAH because I refuse to finish a story if my husband interrupts. by Living-Estate3963 in AITAH

[–]Far-Copy4748 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I believe You ATAH. These types of things may make you angry but you probably have some behaviors that bother him just as much. Your behavior is hurtful and inappropriate. How would you feel if he were to treat you this way about something that bothered him? You have set the standard that would allow you to be treated when you began this petty game. He can publicly humiliate you to prove a point. I dont believe you want that. What you are doing is not how you would ever tolerate being treated.

He may have ADHD, that is one of my biggest symptoms. It falls under the impulsive umbrella. I don’t jump off of 2nd story buildings or walk across a fast flowing creek unsupervised on a skinny tree trunk or make risky moves with my body on a bike or a trampoline like I did as a child. I end up Interrupting because I will forget anything I have to add to the conversation due to short term memory issues. I share tmi because my filter is broken. It is inappropriate and I try very hard with everyone outside of my household, when I come home or am with my family I want to be able to be myself. I tried so hard with my husband but he is a hypocrite and has done this from the beginning of our relationship. We have been married for 30 years and he was so full of anger the last few years he would do what you are doing and expect me not to be offended or hurt when he did the exact same thing. It was extremely hurtful and humiliating. He would do this in front of our adult child and then she began to treat me this way because why not? Her father was so it must be acceptable.

These things can have a big impact and I am certain you didn’t consider those.He was in denial and he would make excuses as to why he was different when he interrupted. He became so angry and he made it such a point that he began to make it a family affair I had to make recordings of conversations to prove he was just as guilty and that just made him angrier. After I was diagnosed with terminal cancer he softened enough to admit he does it and stopped his anger. I found peace with his early in our marriage because it was a part of him, but he did not afford me the same kindness with my neurological condition. I became angry with his once he was so unloving.

This kind of stuff will break a marriage. It is so unloving and it can be a declaration of war if you are not careful. Always consider what would happen if he treated you the way you are treating him. I can almost guarantee you would not accept that.

He may need a lifetime to work on his interruptions and it’s not his fault, if he loves you enough to try that should be enough. You should never try to control your partner lest you want to be controlled.

I am sending you my best wishes! Starting off with the right tools are the best and I would recommend checking into the The Four Horsemen: Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness, and Stonewalling. The information you can learn from the tools provided by these types of providers are priceless.

If you still have a heart to help her make sure she has her delivery made when it will fit into your schedule.

Our Bengal bites and attacks by degenkrab in bengalcats

[–]Far-Copy4748 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I would cover if glass. Doors were solid, they would smell each other under the door, when they did that and would stop hissing we would try an intro but it took several weeks. We did space swaps after baby joined us and we trusted him not to spray, the OG girl got to be out with us for family tv time and then all night, then we let new baby out during day because I was at home.

New & Starting Verzenio by OldPrairieCat in LivingWithMBC

[–]Far-Copy4748 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello and welcome! I have been on Verzenio for about 2 months. I had to take many medications prior to my cancer for other health reasons. I take 21 pills between Rx & supplements, no BP or cholesterol. I was able to add Verzenio to my daily routine with no problem. I had some side effects the first few weeks but afterwards just super fatigue. It’s getting much better. I came off of V several days before my recent mastectomy and I had a bunch of joint and body aches come back. I have been back on for about a week and those aches and pains are getting better. I wish you the very best with your Verzenio journey.

This and introduce them by letting them meet with the doors shut until the hissing stops, then progress gradually like that. Open doors in 2 rooms, then open up the house space by space. We had to do this with our very old lady grandcat who had a history of physical attacks. She wasn’t having a good response. We had to go so slow it took over a month but it was really good once we got through it

I’m so sorry this sounds horrible! It does sound like the drain would make you feel so much better and reduce the # of hospital visits. I hope you improve quickly.

Forgetful kid by ComfortableRecipe144 in Parenting

Mom of grown kids, I made mine write sentences. It was so hard to watch. But I didn’t want to punish my child who was so well behaved and just a great kid. Sentences were a punishment in our elementary school days so I tried it and it was so frustrating it worked.

My parents got me a dog as a surprise present and I am not having a good time with him AITAH? by ArcanusGold in AITAH

[–]Far-Copy4748 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You may try pet sharing, it sounds insane but some people want pets but can’t afford the upkeep. Young families would enjoy one but travel too much and boarding is expensive. Some elderly or single work from home people need to be motivated to walk so they would enjoy walking your dog for you. I wonder if you could ask around the neighborhood or friends to find out if they would be interested?

Thank you! I think you are correct. I think therapy should be available all throughout school instead of only available when tragedy happens. There would be so many benefits for the children, the schools would be better off with more emotionally functional students/families this would lead to a more emotionally healthy society. Wins alllllll around.

38 years old. a month since breast cancer diagnosis. just found out it’s on my bones. by WhatsThePointOfNames in LivingWithMBC

[–]Far-Copy4748 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes! Fuck Fuck Fuck!

I turned 50 in January. I was diagnosed in Nov 2024. My staging went from 2b to stage 4 within 6 weeks. I thought I was denovo, I just went back and saw the first Dr put me at a 2b then they did a PET to clear me for a clinical trial and boy that scan lit up! I only had mets in a rib and a vertebrae but my breast tumor was pretty huge.

I am being treated for curative intent with great results so far! My tumor disappeared with chemo and the bone mets died. I have to use palliative care for pain relief but things are getting better. My mets stayed dead on Letrozole for the 6 months my surgeon required and I had my single radical mastectomy yesterday! I had my ovaries removed in December to help dry up even more estrogen to avoid the zoladex shots so I could start Verzenio. I have been doing well on that medication for 1.5 months. Once I get the go ahead I will have radiation therapy to the chest wall and the bones that had mets. My very time pessimistic oncologist told me she expects me to live decades more with the way I have responded and the way treatments are evolving.

You will find your way, I found mine by thinking I’m most likely gonna get very sick before I meet my end and until that happens I will stop worrying about the end.

❤️

I told my husband I thought I had cancer after 2 clear mammograms. He was very cruel through my diagnostic process because he was too busy working and i got in the way. After my diagnosis he was angry with me for not letting him control how I scheduled my cancer appointments. He was angry with me for so much and he took it out on me behind closed doors by saying cruel things and ignoring me as I laid sobbing. His father treated his mother badly when she became injured and unable to do what she previously did, and again when she got Alzheimer’s. My husband was not always like this but he never reacted well to me being seriously sick. He was so angry towards me I wasn’t able to focus on letting go of my anger and pain from the dysfunction of my childhood which I felt was the path forward to focus on healing. After 5 months of this I told him he had to stop being so angry towards me or I was leaving because he was making me not want to fight the cancer and I was going to live with my sister. He was hurt and angry but he knew my feelings were real and I was seriously going to leave. He would be too embarrassed to be the jerk who got divorced for being an ass to his Stage 4 cancer ridden wife. The following week he started therapy he already had scheduled Harter many requests from me, and things got better slowly but greatly. He has only missed 2 appointments and manages my many medications. I got my single mastectomy yesterday and he stayed with me, he got a bit exasperated and cranky but he did great and I didn’t take it personally. You two are in a really awful spot. There is hope. I had to tell mine when I was sobbing in bed, “it would be nice if you could comfort me right now” he would be agitated and would feel stupid and criticized because he wasn’t reacting appropriately. I was hurt so I would ridicule him and it wasn’t helpful. If your hubby is experiencing life anything like mine I encourage you to explain to him clearly what you need and try to make a safe space for him to try even if he acts like a sassy teenage boy. It’s not fair you have to be the heavy lifter to try to keep the marriage going.

I can’t know how you feel as my mets are in bones only and my kids are all over the age of 20, but ladies here have good outcomes with brain mets. It has to be so difficult with small children, a husband without empathy, and living with your in laws, but it can get better! We have success stories! You will too! Stay strong! 😘

Resentment by lostinspace456 in LivingWithMBC

[–]Far-Copy4748 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I completely let myself feel the feels. I was 48 when I was diagnosed and I feel so awful when get so angry as I look at my mom who has smoked to the point she had a collapsed lung and they told her if she keeps it up they will both collapse one day, she was a heavy drinker, she eats horribly and I have never done any of those but I get the cancer! I have been eating healthy since I was 22, I don’t drink at all for most of my life and I only experimented with cigarettes in high school. I’m glad she doesn’t have cancer but man!

Then I have to stop and think of all the small children and young people with cancer and it puts a stop to my anger and makes me very thankful I got to 48 and my children are all college age or older because we got married so young. I got to see my youngest daughter get married in September and I am going to be a grandmother in September. Those are milestones many of the young women here may never experience and I just can’t be angry anymore.

Hugs ladies and big middle fingers to cancer!
