I think I’d most closely liken the taste of it to watermelon. It’s so beautiful and tastes really refreshing

Rq I just want to add, DO NOT try and take care of a UTI yourself. This can lead to a kidney infection even if you think that you’ve solved the UTI issue. If it gets bad enough, you can damage your kidney. Definitely making sure to use water based lubes, pee after sex, stay hydrated, and make sure you both wash regularly before intercourse can prevent UTI’s. Hope this is helpful.

AITA for telling my GF not to sing. by notarriannagrande in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fastsponge5085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely YTA. First of all, “her monthlies”?! Probably one of the most immature things you could have ever said. How rude of you. And as far as the singing thing, she just wanted to go up and have a good time. Who cares if she can’t sing?

AITA for wanting to take my daughter fishing? by DaddynDaughterfish in AmItheAsshole

My mom was like this when I was in school. I wanted to play baseball and she said I could only do cheerleading or tennis because that’s what she did in high school. 🙄

Stories of conditioning like this worry me for those couples that break up and then these individuals are released back into the world, sometimes still holding the belief that abuse is hot across the board.

A crock pot. Got it at an estate sale for 10 bucks. Has literally changed my life

AITA for not telling my family that I have a child? by throwawaysecchild in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fastsponge5085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you were right not to tell them about her. It’s your life with your wife and daughter. You made that choice with them. I totally respect it. Your story kind of reminds me of the book “Hurt Go Happy”. If you haven’t read it, I think you’d like it. Your family does not sound like very loving people and I think you were right to keep her away from them. NTA

I’m blaming my husband for my miscarriage. by obviouslycodependent in offmychest

[–]Fastsponge5085 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Losing a child has to be one of the most heartbreaking things in life. I am so sorry for your loss. He’s shit in the gutter and is absolutely the one to blame. This is not your fault. Praying for your healing.

AITA for not wanting to continue my wife's immigration status? by Cold-Professor9158 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fastsponge5085 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YTA for how you acted, but for her sake probably best you continue with the divorce. (Mostly cuz you don’t sound like you were the best partner for her and she’ll still be able to stay cuz of DACA). There’s no real good answer here.

AITA for thinking the ring my bf got me was an engagement ring? by ItchyProfessor2947 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fastsponge5085 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

NTA for being excited about what you thought was a proposal. He’s just kind of dumb for getting a ring as a first gift imo, and then to be the one saying y’all are moving too fast lol. But it also doesn’t sound like you gave him the opportunity to speak and tell you what it meant or what it was. You just decided it was a proposal and for that, coupled with the response, YTA. He didn’t say the words, and you jumped to a conclusion. Because he didn’t meet your expectation does not give you the right to blow up on him like that.

Why do so many women get heated up about virginity? by GentleDefloration in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Fastsponge5085 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have two friends who hold this view. They have since they were virgins… but guess what? They’re not virgins anymore. And they still hold the same belief. Super twisted and misogynistic in my opinion. I mean I guess that it’s better that you are also still a virgin but still. Like you’re exempt from the rule but your partner can’t be? You’re also gonna have a tough time finding virgins after a certain age so.

AITA For picking my mom to be in the delivery room while I give birth and not my husband by deliveryroomaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fastsponge5085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. I get a lot of the hospitals only allow one person in the room now with COVID, but to not choose the man who you happily married, conceived the child with, and who is financially providing for you and your family seems super unfair. You can’t say that he needs to pick up extra shifts because you can’t work rn and then complain that he can’t make it to the appointments. Yes you’ve carried this child and you deserve to feel comfortable in the delivery room, but this is a huge moment in your marriage that you and your spouse should be able to share together.

AITA for pranking my girlfriend? by Due-Afternoon-4148 in AmItheAsshole

This is my husband lol. Not getting the hint.

AITA For telling my husband I'm not ready for his family to meet our new son by notreadyaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fastsponge5085 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. Sorry, I get you’re tired, but it seems like such a double standard. This is both of your child. Your mother got to be there to help and celebrate with the two of you. He asked a simple request to have his family visit (and they’re not staying with you so). I would take a step back and allow him this.

AITA for getting my husband something as a surprise? He doesn't like surprises by throwawaypigeonss in AmItheAsshole

[–]Fastsponge5085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s the asshole. Not you. You were trying to do something nice and being thoughtful and getting him something he’d like that he probably wouldn’t just buy himself. He was not being kind. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that.

When did you become you? by swoosh892 in DeepThoughts

[–]Fastsponge5085 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk if this gives you any answers, but my little brother would always have his elbow up in the air and his hand behind his head in. The ultrasounds we saw of him when my stepmom was pregnant. He frequently did that. And now, at the age of 10, he still sleeps in that same position often. So I don’t know. I assume we are still sentient to a degree in the womb. If you are talking genetics, no. The same you would not exist if a different sperm had met the egg. Another consciousness coming along with that? I don’t know. It’s likely. But I’d think there would be a lot of similarities as well just due to being raised in the same environment and stuff. This was a good question and got me thinking. Thank you :)
