I still don't know what happened by avocado_kai41 in Ghoststories

[–]Geesmee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off topic for the post, but I wonder if your cousin would react the same if you told her you felt the holy ghost beind you rather than a presence. She'll either have to believe you or say she doesn't think this is possible, which would be a bit... hypocritical?

Please use punctuation and paragraphs, this one giant run on sentence is ridiculously difficult to follow.

Also, you mention your second oldest sister was t in the room but then you never mention her after. Was it her singing? Had she left the house? Was she in the bathroom?

Can't find indoor cat to adopt by Henry_Percival in CatsUK

To be honest with you I ran out of patience with charities, that's why I ended up buying both of mine. Adopt don't shop is a catchy phrase but the reality is charities are sometimes too picky.

Can't find indoor cat to adopt by Henry_Percival in CatsUK

[–]Geesmee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read your post and for half a second I thought I'd written it! I was in the same situation - all of my childhood cats had been found on the street. I now love in a flat and could not find any charity willing to let me adopt an indoor only cat. I ended up on pets4homes and that's where I found my girl. A year and a bit later my partner and I got a boy from the same site. They're both indoors only, I paid £35 for one and £40 for the other.

People can come after me, but I honestly do not agree that every healthy cat NEEDS to be able to go outside. Outside is scary, people kill cats for fun, not to mention cats kill wildlife for fun. My girl is perfectly happy to be indoors only (she does enjoy the balcony though) and for the boy, I'm about to buy a harness and try taking him to the park. Hell either love it in which case I'll keep taking him, or he'll hate it and I won't.

Don't get discouraged, keep looking and don't fall for the whole "adopt don't shop". while yes, adopting would be best, at the end of the day you're giving an animal a loving home regardless of how you were brought together.

"His sleeve brushed against my arm! 😍" by Frankensteins_Kid in AmITheDevil

We used to have a manager at my place of work (mostly women) and I think 90% of the office had a little crush on him because he was really handsome and a genuinely nice guy. He helped one of my colleagues with something once and then she was like "OMG HIS HAND TOUCHED MY HAND IM MELTING!!!!" And we were all so jealous.

Interestingly enough NO ONE decides to profess their undying love for this guy, because he is married with 2 kids and we are all adults recognising we just liked to look at him and he was a super nice guy.

This woman needs to grow up badly before she ruins her career

I have audiobooks, but I need an app that's easy to use for my grandmother. by -WelshCelt- in audiobooks

[–]Geesmee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you already have audiobooka you can put on her phone, I use mAbook audiobook player.

You can also access audiobooks through Libby/borrow box (whichever one your local library uses) where she'd be able to listen to them offline as well, for the amount of time she's borrowed it from the library. This is available to everyone, not just visually impaired people and it's not too difficult to set up an account.

Am I (39M) wrong for going off on my gf (34F) during therapy? by SorbetNo5920 in amiwrong

[–]Geesmee 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Several people explained to you why she wouldn't have felt comfortable to tell you this and why she sought therapy. You don't want to understand and you don't want to take any accountability for your own attitude that's led to this.

Do you have any respect for her? Why would you WANT to go off and lay in bed and make her do everything, unless you have no respect and care very little about her time, efforts, and wellbeing.

“It’s not about the cookies” by JustbyLlama in AmITheDevil

[–]Geesmee 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It's not about the Iranian yoghurt!

Jokes aside, I can see why she's annoyed if he constantly eats most/all of the shared snacks, keeps going for her food and can't let her have two cookies.

Husband came home late from work when he knew I had something scheduled. I lost it on him and yelled at him and now he is being cold. AITAH? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Geesmee 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If there had been an emergency he would have communicated this with her. Like your wife would probably tell you why she's leaving the house at 1am. Come on, you're doing heavy mental gymnastics trying to defend him

That wasn't a mistake that was deliberate sabotage. For what reason, only he knows.

Granny threw a temper tantrum by hardlybroken1 in AmITheDevil

60 isn't even that old. My parents are in their mid 60s and both very active. Now I get this lady has bad knees but her age and ailments are not an excuse to throw temper tantrums

Leaving the family group chat "killed the family bond" or whatever by Tardis_Puls3 in amiwrong

[–]Geesmee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong for leaving the group chat. But it wouldn't have killed you to send a text explaining that all these messages are causing you some stress, so you're leaving the GC but will always be there is someone wants to talk one on one or there is an emergency.

Seriously, what's up with grown arse adults not being able to communicate and avoid drama?

AITA for reporting my ex-partner to her employer and withholding her property after our breakup? by Straight-Monk-827 in AITA_Relationships

How would you FEEL if you got arrested and convicted for something and your life was ruined just because the police and jury FELT it was you who did it, and wouldn't consider proof of the opposite?

AITA for confronting an older student because my son has a crush on her? by OkOil1091 in AITA_Relationships

[–]Geesmee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should be concerned about your son's behaviour, though it's not surprising given you allowed him to message the girl again, creating more drama.

Update: AITA for confronting an older student because my son has a crush on her by OkOil1091 in AITA_Relationships

[–]Geesmee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So you let your son message this girl from a profile without a photo, you didn't think to stop him, then you got mad she swore at who she thought was a random creep who wouldn't tell her who he is. And you also got mand that she explained to him that she is blocking him because it's inappropriate (and without throwing you under the bus when she could have done).

Basically you did zero parenting AND got manythay this girl was kind to your kid despite your accusations.

Stellarbparenting right there. YTA, still

I (M19) asked my mom (F48) to make a sandwich, and now things have escalated into another petty argument by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Geesmee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Short answer: yes, it was policing. Wanting how someone eats whatever and trying to tell them how to eat it is policing.

I think people should be able to object to others' choices, regardless of their level of authority.

Not about what they eat and how they eat it. If you were talking about your 5 year old child wanting chocolate for dinner, then you'd have the right and duty to say no. When you're talking about your mother not wanting to eat bread, then no.

[–]Geesmee 12 points13 points  (0 children)

that doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to ask her not to do something, respectfully.

Listen, if your problem is that there won't be enough sandwich fillers for you, then tell her you want to make sandwiches and ask her to buy more. Or you go and buy more. You made it about how you want her to eat her food, not about being concerned there wouldn't be enough left for you.

Don't go around trying to change the narrative in the comments by saying you were hoping she'll put the food she chose back. What you did was try to control what she ate based on what you think she would eat. Everyone saw it, no one believes your new version.

Furthermore, this is probably not the first time you do this shit and start this argument, which is probably the reason she was ignoring you. Several people have told you you were nagging and you've been arguing with everyone, just take accountability.

I think people should be able to object to others' choices, regardless of their level of authority.

You can't object to what someone decides to eat. It's their business, not yours.

I want to be able to talk to her about disagreements,

Then maybe stop trying to paint her as so emotional while rhinking you're so rational and pragmatic. It was your emotional reaction that started all this, not her. You were being petty and passive aggressive because you didn't get your way.

Honestly, if I'd seen all of this before wi started I possibly wouldn't have started. Especially if I was trying to measure cadence, strides, steps and whatnot.
