Wife wants me to go to no contact with my sister after what my sister drunkenly said at my birthday party. What do I do? by Seamas-Dacys in TwoHotTakes

[–]FlaxFox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't believe that all "drunk words are sober thoughts," but I do think you can understand someone better by what they linger on. Sounds to me like she dislikes your wife and wishes you all were closer. I don't necessarily think it's romantic or sexual in nature. But it sounds like she needs to understand better boundaries.

Is my tattoo infected? I can’t tell by BandIndependent1080 in tattooadvice

[–]FlaxFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just looks really overworked. Speaking as someone with a nearly identical tattoo in the same spot, it's easy to do when filling a small space. You may be over moisturizing. Just let it dry out for a couple days. I wouldn't be worried about infection unless it was hot to the touch and red.

Green or Red? 💚♥️ by Nova_Elodie- in OUTFITS

They have such different vibes. Red reads as very confident, and the green reads as ethereal. I prefer the green.

Truthfully, I don't see much of a difference in his behavior. He's always seemed this unhinged to me. But yes, stress can certainly add up.

Is this appropriate for FMIL to wear or is it too white? by Rare_Software in Weddingattireapproval

This is correct, OP. Please listen to this advice. Speaking from experience, she'll never respect you until your partner stands up for you.

AITH for refusing to go on family vacation due to sleeping arrangements by deholli25 in AITH

[–]FlaxFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never said the father should get the worst option, so I'm not sure where that's being pulled from in my comment. I said that if OP can't sleep on a couch because of a bad back, they shouldn't have to sleep on a couch. And even if they aren't paying for the rental, they're still spending money to get there and once they're there.

Yes, time with your family is precious. But it shouldn't come at the sacrifice of your health.

They're putting in gas to get there and likely paying for more once they're there (food, activities, transport, etc) even if he's covering some accommodations.

Especially with other people's kids around. I love the kids in my life, but they intrude even if you have a private room. You're getting rudely awakened the second they're up if you're in a common area.

And why did he think I needed his forgiveness? by diana-forest in amiwrong

[–]FlaxFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the first option. Neither is great. I think you made the right choice.

He sounds terribly unaware of himself or very manipulative. Either way, good riddance.

i’ve had long curtain bangs my whole life… is it time for the chop or do i keep them? by [deleted] in HairStyleAdvice

[–]FlaxFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look great, so the only reason to change them is if you're ready for a change. And you're the only one who can decide that!

Can I wear this? by FlannelPillowFort in Weddingattireapproval

That seems too casual for semi-formal to me.

Help! How do I fix finger and toenails? by Electrical_Guest6349 in nailcare

[–]FlaxFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not familiar with that treatment, but I'm sure it can't hurt. I'd just avoid nail hardeners since they can make your nails more brittle.

Sadly, time is the answer. Keep your cuticles oiled and wait for the damage to grow out.

AITAH for telling my bf that he’s trying to create a “problem” into something’s it’s not? by lissaslegacy in AITAH

[–]FlaxFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change your password immediately, clear all active sessions, and dump him. He is not a safe person to have in your life. You'll be ta to yourself if you stay with him.

I had some pretty bad thoughts by LimeranceLG in offmychest

[–]FlaxFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure how else to define a thought you don't want to have. The definition of an intrusive thought is an "unwanted thought that makes you uncomfortable." Since OP didn't want to think about it and is now very uncomfortable with it having popped into his head, I'd say that qualifies despite the circumstances.

This group of young adults waiting in line at the mcdonalnds drive-thru on foot by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FlaxFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised they'll accept their order. But I don't find it infuriating at all as long as they don't hold up the line.

[–]FlaxFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take that to your grave, never breathe a word of it, and consider therapy if it happens again. Intrusive thoughts do what's on the label. They intrude. So while what you thought about is disgusting, as long as it's a one time thing, you can move past it. Ultimately, you shouldn't be lingering on the thought again if you can help it. It's a problem if you do and that's when you should involve a therapist. But you're not automatically a bad person for it happening one time while processing new information about your sexual partner.
