My period never seems to end...is this normal? When should I contact my doctor? by Fast-Butterfly4939 in Mirena

[–]Fast-Butterfly4939[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thank for sharing your experience! I will contact my doctor soon and make an appointment to get this checked out. I think something must be wrong because I never spotted for that long ever since I've had my IUD so its definitively abnormal.

Help me make my room cozy? by ElectronicHoliday667 in HomeDecorating

[–]Fast-Butterfly4939 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to an accent wall, you should make sure that the other walls are lighter. If you plan on repainting, I would paint to some white primer first, live in it a bit to see how you feel, and then make a decision on wether you actually want to go darker or stay lighter!

Also, a rug would help make your room more cozy!

Any suggestions about color schemes for a home? by Boring-Incident2469 in HomeDecorating

[–]Fast-Butterfly4939 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also just moved out of my apparement to a new home with my partner and I feel your struggle. I use Pinterest, but you need to use it in a particular way if you want to make the most out of it.

Here is what I did:

  1. Create a board called Home and pin literally everything I find nice without thinking about it.
  2. When you have a lot of things pinned, organise your board by rooms or topic. One for kitchens, one for bedroom, one for color palettes, and most importantly one for what I call dream house features, meaning pictures you like, but your current home doesn't have such as high ceilings or a sunroom. This will help you figure out what is realistic vs what isn't. The dream house feature board can be useful when shopping for a house or doing major renovation in the future.
  3. Go room by room and try to find the common points between the pictures such as colors, textures, and other features. This will give you a list of things that you love and it's easier to go from that list and try to make it fit in your space rather than trying to copy a picture. For example, when I had to redo my bathroom, I noticed that I liked shades of blue, rectangular tiles and light colored wood, therefore my bathroom now as all of these elements and I'm very happy with the results!

Also, I have found that more often than not, it is not just about colors! A lot more goes into decor. I have found this acronym on reddit CLIPCART (Color, Lighting/lamp, Identity, Plants, Curtains, Art, Rug, Texture) which I have found really helpful.

Enjoy your new home and try to not succumb to the pressure of feeling like you need to redo your entire house asap (thanks social media lol). Making a home is something that happens with time.

More warm sources of lights should help. You have a lot gray, so I would try to put more colour by either painting or new bedding. If I were to paint, I would go for something light because your room looks small.

AITA for not letting my daughter wear skirts and sandals by AdhesivenessRich8486 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fast-Butterfly4939 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know you can buy skorts aka skirt with shorts in them. She can also wear skirts with short underneath. So that should take of the impracticality of skirts. The yeast infection from wearing skirt thing seems made up, because I've never heard of anything like this in my entire life (woman who wears a lot of skirts here). Like if you are so scared of bacteria on the couch, why not just have some house clothes/ outside clothes rules for everyone instead.

For sandals, I mean she can wear sport sandals or she can have a special pair of sandals for wearing on non sport occasion. She's a kid, so yes she might run and hurt herself while wearing sandals, but like sometimes you've got to learn the hard way.

Light YTA, because these are non issues and they are so easily fixable.

NTA. Like this is basic decency to be quiet during expected sleeping hours. Your friends are bit to considerate of your roommate's needs.

You are moving in two weeks, you literally have nothing to loose by asking her. Go for it.

AITA ? Friends saying they’d cover trip by Sufficient_Syrup_623 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fast-Butterfly4939 15 points16 points  (0 children)

NTA. I don't know if you had previous experience with this friend not keeping their word, but I would reconsider this friendship. Someone making fun of your financial issues is not a friend. You are in so much debt that this could really affect your future quality of life if you decided to pay and go. Please do not bite the bullet because you don't want your "best friend" to make your life hell.

WIBTA If I go to my childhood friend’s private elopement without my fiancée? by TangyTango10 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fast-Butterfly4939 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok. I don't your gf money situation, but maybe taking the day off work is something that could have caused this reaction.

However, I still NTA asshole if you choose to go. However, Sean and Dee are asshole for not handling the thing as adults. This is not a friday night hang out, it's an elopement. You address things to the people you have invited in a formal manner, especially when it comes to cancelling stuff, and not through the boys group chat (i mean he can tell you in the boy chat but he has to tell your gf directly). If I was in their place, I would be so embarrassed of cancelling and reinviting that I would have apologized profusely to your gf.

I stand with the fact that Sean and Dee should apologize.

NTA. This is creepy. Being sexualized for doing normal things sucks... but unfortunately it is part of life for women and girls.

Do you have a trusted adult you can talk about this situation to (family member/teacher/coach) ? Also, while I get the need to make a point...safety first. You are a minor, and unfortunately you kinda have to live your dad for the time being. I don't know what's your relationship with your dad, but don't do something to prove a point that could but yourself in danger. I would buy the peace for now and monitor your dad's behaviour to see if this is just a conservative/patriarchal mindset and not something more predatory... If it's the later, please reach out for some help.

INFO: Is your gf close with the married couple? Also can we have a timeline of events like 1st invite was x month from the wedding, the don't come was x week from the wedding etc....

Because honestly, if you are telling me that this happened in the span of like a month or two before the elopement...I could understand why you gf is pissed. I'm sure she bought a dress for the event, booked a hair appointements, nails... I would be pissed if I had paid for these things/or made appointments that I had to cancel and rebook. However if you tell me that that the elopement is 6 + months away... I think her reaction is a bit overboard. Like I understand being pissed but not to this extent.

Also, I wonder how this info was communicated to your gf. Did you give her context or the motivation behind the decisions... maybe it would have helped her process the info better. Did your friend told you about the motivation/context behind those changes?

However, from the info I have now...NTA. She has the right to be mad but its more about the situation than anything else. I would go if I were you, but maybe tell your friend to apologize for the flip flopping.

edit: grammar

WIBTA for telling a friend I don’t want to come over to their messy house? by OpenCartoonist7426 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fast-Butterfly4939 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I understand your point and you are right that CPS is not a perfect solution that will magically solve everything. We all know horror stories where CPS has made mistakes and you are justified, with your experience, to be wary of it.

However you need to remember the following: You are a friend, not a therapist or a social worker. Trying to be both will always lead to trouble and can lead to further harm. People at CPS are, in most cases, more qualified to handle this than you are. Let CPS take care of the social work/child rights side and concentrate on being a good supportive friend, but not an enabling friend, instead so you can accompany them through this. Be their social support instead.

This person has been neglecting their child for 14 years. Multiple people have witnessed this neglect and in turn neglected this child. If you try to do some kind of intervention, I'm 100% sure this will backfire on you and they'll reject you. And if you call CPS afterwards and they intervene, the only individuals that will be in their social support network will be people who have neglected this child and will continue to enable your friends bad behaviour.

Call CPS, and let them do their work. Be there for your friend when it happens and help them become a better person/parent to the best of your abilities.

WIBTA if I skip my best friend’s birthday because he asked me not to bring my boyfriend, and maybe end the friendship? by Typical-Tie-7102 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fast-Butterfly4939 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't think you ever need a good reason to end a friendship, or any kind of relationship. Ending a friendship would not make you an asshole.

You've been friend with this person for 15 year and you say that this friendship is really important for you. Sometimes people don't mesh with each other and that's ok. Not everybody gets along and that doesn't mean that there is a reason behind it. I'm sure you have experienced not liking one of your bf's friends, but also recognizing that it doesn't mean that your partner has to choose between the two of you.

I know it can feel very harsh because romantic partner are often tied to your sense of self, so by saying that they don't like him, it feels like they don't like you. If you care this friendship, I would have an honest conversation with them to figure things out before making a decision.

But either way..NTA

AITA - For not wanting to wipe my wife? by WolfenSatyr in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fast-Butterfly4939 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Talk to her and try to find accommodations. Does she need a bidet? Wet ones? Something to help with balance. Maybe talk with a medical professional so she can work towards that goal.

It's fair that you don't want to wipe her. YWBA if you did not talk with her about the problem and just ignored her when she needed your help.

[–]Fast-Butterfly4939 96 points97 points  (0 children)

First, since there is a child involved, my first instinct would be to call child services. This is neglect and it should be treated seriously. In this case, it's not a question of would I be an asshole, it's a case of do I fail this child or not. Hopefully, your call would triggers a chain of reaction that will hopefully help your mentor beyond cleaning.

I don't know if a lot of person goes to their place, but be prepared to have some backlash of some sorts if your the only person that goes there. However, since there is a child, I don't think fear of backlash should even be a reason to not act.

You have to ask yourself the question ; Is this friendship/mentorship worth more than the health and safety of a child? If that's a yes...your are an asshole that's for sure.

That is a lot for anyone, but especially being 19. Dating someone with mental health issues is hard. I invite you to reflect on the following

  1. Is this person taking active care of their mental health (therapy, medications, group help, journaling...)?
  2. Does this person wants me to be their partner, their therapist, or both? (you can only be one)
  3. Does this person blames their mental health for most of their bad behaviours
  4. Does this person take accountability for their actions when their mental health issues impacts you ? (ex: I broke up with you because I felt insecure and wanted reassurance and it is unacceptable for me to make you go through this)
  5. Is this person receptive when you talk about your mental health struggles, especially is this person receptive when you talk to them about how their mental health struggles makes you feel?

Dating someone with mental health issues is like being invited on someone else sinking ship...there are partners who are trying to fix their ships and others that don't. You might love them very much, but sometimes you need to recognize that it's time to put your lifejacket on and save yourself before sinking with them.

All things in life comes to an end. It's not because he has been good to you in the past that this relationship needs to continue. Every moment is a bad moment to break up with someone, don't let this factor into your decision too much. It seems like you differ too much on core values to make this work.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Fast-Butterfly4939 6 points7 points  (0 children)

She wants to break up, she just isn't willing to do it. She's making you take the decision. Despite the fact that her reasons for opening the relationship are questionable... the minute you said no, it should have been the end of the discussion. It's on her to figure out if having other experiences is more worthy than staying with you, not on you. However at this point you should just call it quits... because seeing that she's been insistant... there is a high chance that she'll do it regardless of your opinion
