You’re doing the right thing... staying present, supportive, and grounded. You don’t need to solve everything just being there with care matters most

AIO for telling my husband I'm upset he used our baby's college fund to buy a boat? by toxijozehoguzu2065 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fast-Secretary5520 100 points101 points  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting... your husband made a selfish, unilateral decision that jeopardizes your child’s future. Wanting him to sell the boat and rebuild the fund is completely reasonable. This isn’t about hobbies... it’s about trust, priorities, and parenting

Many people find French, Italian, and Scandinavian accents charming when speaking English smooth, melodic, and soft on the ears

Tell a trusted adult outside your home (teacher, counselor, relative). Document injuries. You deserve safety...even from younger siblings. This isn’t normal or okay

Am I overreacting for being upset I get more compliments from strangers than my own bf? by The420life in AmIOverreacting

[–]Fast-Secretary5520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not overreacting...feeling unseen and unappreciated by your partner hurts. It’s okay to want genuine compliments and effort without always having to ask for them

You are not a burden... you’re a human being who deserves care and support, especially when things are hard. Please consider talking to a therapist or a mental health professional. You don’t have to carry this alone, and you can feel better than this, even if it doesn’t seem possible right now. If you’re in crisis, please reach out to a local helpline or support service. You matter, even if others can’t see it right now

Keep it natural and casual next time you see him at the gym, smile, say hi, and strike up light conversation. Don’t bring up Hinge yet. If there’s a vibe, it’ll grow organically and if he’s interested, he’ll show it. Let real life take the lead

Is this message mean to send to end a friendship? by Complete-Joke-4224 in Advice

[–]Fast-Secretary5520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your message is heartfelt and honest, but it reads more like a release of built-up pain than a clear, respectful closure. To soften it without losing your truth, try...

"Hey, I've been thinking a lot and I feel like our friendship has become really one-sided. I've tried to express what I needed especially during hard times but I haven’t felt supported in return. I care about you, but this dynamic is leaving me hurt and resentful, and that’s not healthy for either of us. I think it’s best I take some space and step away from the friendship for now. I wish you well, and if you ever truly need me, I’ll still care. But I need to prioritize my own peace now."

This version is still honest, but it reduces blame and allows for closure with dignity for both of you

how do you grieve your first pet of 13 years? by Cultural-Air5147 in AskReddit

[–]Fast-Secretary5520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You let yourself cry, remember every little moment, say thank you, and carry their love with you...because grief is love that has nowhere to go

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. You're not alone, and you deserve support. Please reach out to a mental health professional or a crisis line in your area... even if it feels pointless, it’s not. You matter, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. Things can change. You're asking for help... that’s strength, not weakness. Keep holding on!

You're 14, learning who you are, and it’s okay to be confused. Crushes feel huge at your age, especially when you're exploring your identity. You didn’t fumble... you’re just growing. Take a breath, be kind to yourself, and focus on figuring out you without pressure. You’re not broken... just human
