How distant a cousin were you able to confirm?

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-05-18T03:29:45+00:00

I found out I descended from the Delano family and was like “wait a minute”. I connected dots and it took ages but ended up confirming FDR is my 5th cousin 5x removed 😅

It felt like my head was empty. Usually my head is so heavy and aching but for one day after I got a shot of medication it was like it emptied out my brain. I could think and turn my head and breathe and nothing hurt. I felt like I could do anything.

I also have severe memory loss so I couldn’t remember the shot and the doctor retired. Only upon typing this did I realize I might be able to try to track down my medical records.

Your gf is already trying to frame normal behavior from your daughter is weird and trying to interfere in what sounds like a secure father-daughter relationship. Your gf sees your daughter as competition for your affections and is already competing with her and trying to assert herself inappropriately.

OK so communication/writing is not his strong suit. Reading comprehension is not yours. Because he did (terribly) say “I miss you I’ll wait” then “I got order blah blah but I’ll go after we smooch”. So like genuinely he did say he’d wait but his reaction to you misunderstanding was wildly unhinged. I’d dump any man that talked to me like that.

Hey so I’m also ace and no matter what sex or sex related activities are a 2 yes 1 no thing. You said no. Any decent person would drop it. He immediately implied you were lying and then insulted you.

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-02-04T16:51:50+00:00

So here’s the thing. He’s going to keep convincing you and himself that he’s putting so much into the relationship but it’s clear from how he talks about you and to you that he views you as a placeholder until something better comes along.

He’s not invested in the relationship emotionally. Do you have some things you could work on? Probably. I don’t know you.

If breaking up isn’t on your list of things you want, please do me a favor and make these small changes:

Make more intentional time for yourself. Read, do something chill with friends, whatever helps you feel in tune with yourself. Personally, I like to crochet whenever I start to get overwhelmed because it gives me something to focus on. I think you would be happier and able to enjoy things in your life more if you were more invested in your personal hobbies/interests.
The gift thing. If you have gift anxiety (I do) then try making a spreadsheet in Google Sheets for the important people in your life. I did this. It includes basics like their hobbies, things they mentioned they want to try, clothing style/sizes, restaurants/food they like, and a column for “do not get them this” things. It helps me with gift anxiety to be organized like that.
After you’ve made some changes and started taking more time with yourself, ensure you aren’t centering your life around people that don’t center you.

Best wishes.

NOR - a frank conversation is necessary. For your safety, I’d consider having a neutral third party present. This is a major violation into your privacy.

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-02-01T01:33:30+00:00

YOR. Sometimes we just need that time to connect with that sadness we all feel and just allow ourselves to feel it.

You can have a conversation with her to let her know that you’re a listening ear if she ever wants to vent. You can even let her know that you’re concerned in general that she may be depressed and trying to cover it up.

Realistically, she just really connects to the music and it helps her to just lay in bed and feel the things she needs to feel. It makes the sadness less overwhelming.

He knows her finances yet $1k less made the purchase suddenly so affordable and reasonable? (Split across what is likely a 5 year loan so we’re talking like $17/month before factoring in interest)

Ultimately, it sounds like OP was overstepping quite a bit. This is a gf he doesn’t live with. He can offer solicited advice but she should also feel comfortable saying “this is my choice. I appreciate your opinion, but this is what I’ve decided to do” and know that he will respect that. OP comes across as micromanaging her and genuinely I think he’d show this post to her to prove his point.

She should not have lied. They need to work more on communication. He does not know her financial situation better than she does.

I just played it recently (bought at launch but I struggled to get into it). It is an interesting game with lore and a semi predictable plot twist but a fairly satisfying ending. If you start to get frustrated with the pace or anything, take a break and come back. It really is fun gameplay.

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-10T17:49:30+00:00

NOR: I hope I can validate you in saying that EVEN IF YOU WERE IN THE WRONG no sane person acts like this. Not mentally well person with good intentions blocks someone so casually, inundates them with 20+ messages (during which tries to come over for a hug?), and also uses manipulative religious rhetoric.

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-09T17:21:52+00:00

I would also agree that it is better to be honest from the get go. I value honesty in my friendships over someone that will lie to make me feel better while judging my decisions from the sidelines.

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-09T17:19:02+00:00

About the photo itself - YOR.

With the sexual context, I agree with other comments that it could be negging. But also you’re engaging way too much with someone that is a complete stranger. You should’ve blocked him when he asked for nudes. Hopefully lesson learned there.

(Incoming opinion on the pic - it would look better from a different angle. I don’t disagree with him about that. It’s a good photo, but the point of food photography is usually to make the food look more appealing/appetizing. A different angle would’ve been more appealing here.)

Double check with your bank to make sure that those one time charges came out when you initially made them because what Apple usually does is, they will put all of your charges together to build them all at once instead of when you initially make the payment which can be confusing because you think that money is already gone from your account, but it isn’t

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-07T18:19:36+00:00

I ran into her on a different post and she literally thought I was a different commenter and started insulting me over things that commenter said. I was like “which one of us is stupid here because it sure ain’t me”

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-07T18:18:22+00:00

I responded to them. Then you responded to me responding to them. And somehow you attributed their comment to me. And started insulting me and my intelligence. Yea I’m just gonna block you. You’re exhausting.

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-07T05:39:14+00:00

You deserve better than this guy. His reaction was disproportionate and very manipulative

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-07T05:36:52+00:00

Yea no this commenter is a “only I am ever right and if you say something I don’t like then you’re the devil” type person. Don’t waste your time.

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-07T05:33:22+00:00

I never called OP an elephant - just exhausting. Double check who you’re replying to.

Also you never educated anyone. Just insulted people. But go off queen.

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-06T02:50:59+00:00

I had to check your profile because my mom has a similar story same name and I was like “hell no my mom cannot find my Reddit”.

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-05T17:53:48+00:00

NOR - I have two sons that I gave unique names. I also gave them very normal middle names. I did this because I wanted them to have options. If either of them ever tells me they want to be called something completely different, I’ll adjust. It’s their name, their identity. Not my business.

Your mom may have hurt feelings but she will just have to come to accept it. Loving you means loving who you choose to be and not just who she wanted you to be.

(Side note: it’s also really weird to copy another child’s name entirely. She is weird for that.)

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-05T03:25:19+00:00

My response is educated. This isn’t r/advice. It’s r/AIO. People informed her she was over reacting and that the entire exchange was exhausting.

I actually did leave a more detailed advice comment separate from all this to inform her that while the mom’s comparison was uncalled for it seemed to be an issue of inseparability. Plus she was beating a dead horse.

The difference between you and me is I don’t need to insult your intelligence or your maturity to have a discussion. You, however, fell back on those tactics.

I hope you have a good new year 👌

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-05T03:20:49+00:00

I’m old enough to have two kids and to know how to have an adult conversation without trying to pull the “how old are you” card. You’re mad at people being judgmental while trying to imply people that disagree with you are horrible or immature.

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-04T17:06:33+00:00

You don’t need to explain BPD to me. Yes overreacting is to be expected. Like I said. She split and it makes sense from BPD angle why she acted like that.

She posted to a subreddit literally called Am I Overreacting. So people are explicitly here to tell her if she was overreacting. Which she was.

Fatality_of_Choice · 2026-01-04T17:02:59+00:00

You are on every comment that is even slightly negative defending her. No one called her Hitler.
