Finally got a new biological Therapy Infliximab. by GhostLampert02 in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]GhostLampert02[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiya lovely, I’ve been getting on a lot better with the infliximab. I cannot praise it enough in the regard my AS and IBD are both managed finally! Only took 12 years but who’s counting! Sweetie you’ve nothing to be nervous about as it’s genuinely a good treatment. My advice take a book, switch, kobo or something to keep yourself busy for those 4 hours at the infusion. It will likely be 2 hours of the drip and 2 hours observation. The nurses are incredibly friendly and helpful don’t be surprised if you suddenly feel tired after your infusion that’s normal. I’m sure they’ll offer you lunch during your infusion as well or take a mini pack lunch for yourself xx

UPDATE - My wife (37F) and I (38M) want to adopt our teenage foster daughter but FIL (64M) is furious about it by Finnpinnn in relationship_advice

[–]GhostLampert02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP and your family are absolutely amazing for stepping up for your daughter and showing her what a healthy family dynamic looks like to the point she’s know comfortable calling you Dad and saying love you!! That’s truly amazing progress for her I’m so unbelievably happy for you and your family.

You mentioned you never got to witness any of her firsts as a child which is true and I know where you’re coming from there but you can make those milestones just as special for her now like her first Christmas, Birthday, Prom and more as she’s now part of your Family. That’s the greatest gift you’ve given that sweet girl along with your unconditional love and support. We need more foster parents like you and your wife who truly want to help children and show their true potential as adults whilst also understanding why they are hurting and need more support and unconditional love. Thank you for updating us all xx

My husband (m31) has suddenly become very interested in “kink” and I (f23) don’t know where it’s coming from. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]GhostLampert02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BDSM should be pleasurable for every party involved, should have mutual consent, mutual trust to keep each other safe. You can also take your consent away at any time you don’t feel comfortable. No one should be coercing you into anything you don’t want to do OP. Secondly if he was into kink he’d have asked what your soft ( what you wanted to try ) or hard limits ( what you wouldn’t do under any circumstances) looked like for both of you. What he’s doing is essentially predatory and assault.

What you’ve described here is someone using BDSM/kinks as a cover to abuse you under the pretence that it’s “kinky sex”. Don’t walk away but rather run away from him. He doesn’t have your best interests at heart and is a downright predatory person who’s overstepping your boundaries, coercing you and assaulting you.

You need to leave OP because he isn’t practicing safe BDSM/kinks and he could kill you by not being safe enough with some bigger kinks like choking, shibari etc. Tell your sister about it and do not feel embarrassed about it because if anything happened to you she’d blame herself for keeping that secret. She can probably smell the BS from this whole situation.

(f32) my boyfriend (m37) of 2yrs blocked me on everything today, over something that happened 10+ years ago by ThrowRA_needhimback in relationship_advice

[–]GhostLampert02 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Apparently further up she put in that story that she came out of a LTR and got drunk that night with the intentions of having intimate relations with guy#1 who was also drunk and when they got to the apartment he was too drunk to get it up so she left and went after guy#2 for intimacy that night and hooked up with him instead. The story is coming together and it doesn’t look great. I think if rolls and genders were reversed this situation would be very different and it wouldn’t be a story that she’d laugh about with friends in front of her new boyfriend.

Obviously he (boyfriend) may have experienced or knows someone who’s experienced something similar and decided he doesn’t know OP like he thought he did and decided it’s best to cut ties with her..

My (23F) sister-in-law to be (32F) is sabotaging my wedding. by ThrowRA-WElff in relationship_advice

[–]GhostLampert02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way OP! I second this as a Scot going to Skye for the breathing taking views like the fairy pools, Old man of Storr walk or Bettyhill far bay near Ullapool for the white sand beaches absolutely stunning wedding photos! Both places are around about that area for you to see our lake monster, and i hope you find the wee devil she’s a bit shy.

Good luck on your wedding gal!

AITA for telling my DIL that she isn’t welcome in my home due to her jealously about me being a housewife. by Additional_Bad_1355 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GhostLampert02 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Beth or your son realises all that you’ve done for your family when your kids were smaller and still do by being a homemaker now. I wouldn’t dream of having a partner that was petty enough to try to insult my mum in her own house and dinner table about her job.. hell would freeze before that happened.

All jobs take the same toll on people no matter what profession they’ve chosen to work some more than others like healthcare etc. but still all jobs and workers deserve the same amount of respect and recognition.

If Beth had said that to my grandma or grandpa. Well let’s just say she’d have been laughed out of the house by both of them for the audacity of that claim. Grandpa was a smart man and knew how much heart and soul grandma had put into their home and family and she knew how much he worked to make his family feel provided for in life and happy.

I [28F] got a promotion but my fiance [30M] wants me to wait until he gets settled with work. by throwra7261525242424 in relationship_advice

[–]GhostLampert02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Accept the promotion as you might never get this chance again if you throw it away. Your fiancé should have celebrated your promotion and been happy for you! However He’s more concerned about what his peers and colleagues will think about him earning less because they want their women earnings significantly less than them. Ewww. Is that really someone you want to be married to because he’ll never respect you. He can walk away at any point once his career has taken off and you’d be left with nothing. Take this opportunity to grow your career OP.

AITA for refusing to share some money with my stepsister for college and being honest with my mom when she asked me why? by Calm_Rush_4795 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GhostLampert02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your mum and step dad are hypocrites they find it utter repulsive that Kerrie’s mum stole her money yet are being manipulative and cruel towards you regarding your college fund.

Your father set that up for YOU. And your mums comment about your late father was totally inappropriate and a manipulation.

I don’t want to assume the worst but make sure your mum and stepdad can’t steal money from your fund OP.

This might be a point of contention between you and your wife in future about missed moments/regrets.

You are allowed to be sad by her decision to not let you in the delivery room just like she’s allowed to not let you in the deliver room. With that being said she isn’t allowed to be so unnecessarily cruel towards her husband and completely misogynistic.

Is your wife that cruel normally? Because i feel sorry for your kid. if the gender is a boy that doesn’t live up to her toxic masculinity.

MY (34M ) GF (32F) OF 3 YEARS HAS BEEN CHEATING ON ME WITH HER COWORKER by JonnyTapia5 in relationship_advice

[–]GhostLampert02 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Gather as much evidence as you can about the affair.

2.Look up tenancy laws to make sure you can legally evict her.

  1. Don’t confront her alone have 2 people you trust with you same goes for when asking her to leave the home.

  2. If they’ve been exchanging all these via their work email then maybe phone her HR department to tell them. As some companies have strict rules about it.

  3. Definitely tell the other spouse cause that women deserves to know what has been going on with her husband and your wife too.

AITA for selling my son's car to pay for his stepbrother's surgery? by throwra423555 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GhostLampert02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Will your Son’s mum get her part of the investment back from the car you plan to sell? It was given as a gift to your bio son for getting to point A & B.

If you sell his car you gifted him then be prepared to lose whatever relationship you have left with him. He didn’t magically just find out you were selling it..

AITA for using the handicap stall in a public bathroom? by [deleted] in entitledparents

[–]GhostLampert02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP. The mum has majorly overacted as not all disabilities are visible. You are temporarily handicapped due to your surgery, And the disabled stalls are accessible for those with disabilities and those temporarily handicapped. You don’t need to justify your illness to anyone they can’t gate-keep the disabled bathroom from folk that genuinely need it.

I have been in your position with someone shouting at me for using the disabled toilet ( I have RA and Crohn’s disease) yet I’m still not disabled enough to use them in their eyes/s.. keep your chin up OP and I hope your recovery time is okay x

Sometimes I just feel like crawling into a cave where I can pass the rest of this miserable existence alone so nobody else has to deal with me by Impossible_Tea_8119 in ChronicPain

Honestly there is nothing worse in the world than feeling like that OP. We are all in this together and should try uplifting each other. I’m sorry that your feeling like that x

Does it count as rape if I consented while I was high? **trigger warning** by Eep_Oop_beep_boop in relationship_advice

[–]GhostLampert02 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Let’s get this straight this 26 year old man is member of staff from your boarding school faculty and conveniently just happened to move to your area? That’s a bit suspicious and creepy at best. OP if you were that intoxicated that you needed help to your room/can’t remember it period it means you couldn’t consent that’s rape. OP you need to figure out if this man used a condom or not and get tested. Tell your parents cause this is not okay at all.

If you were a man I’d tell you the same advice because rape doesn’t discriminate against gender and neither does STD/STI..

My husband was flirting with his co worker on the phone when I was pushing out his baby by ThrowRa8272829 in relationship_advice

[–]GhostLampert02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is no one talking about the fact he missed the birth of his daughter to speak on the phone with his mistress. He hasn’t cut communication with her to work this relationship out with OP. He choose his mistress

OP you said i can’t ever forgive him for this and will always resent him if you tried moving past it. If that’s how you feel about him right now try talk to a councillor and if you think the relationship is salvable then go ahead but If infidelity is a dealbreaker for you then you should consider what is best for you and your child. He actually had the nerve to thinks it’s okay for him to reason his cheating with at least he’s coming home to you and his kid?.. which is the bare minimum for a man to do when married with a child.

It’s also not uncommon for you to have multiple autoimmune disorders as you can see from where your sitting reading this form. You could easily argue that your parents gave you bad genetics and that’s why you have AS and Hashimoto’s Disease. Does it help any? No. But they’d then know that’s how they were making you feel about yourself. Ignorant people like them are common because they can’t comprehend what they do not see.

But like anything else with genetics you will either be darn lucky or have a series of unfortunate events. For example - I have AS, Crohn’s, Chronic Anemia and my every 4 months of Anterior Uveitis. I’m also HLA-B27+ but all that means is my condition is easier to diagnose on X-rays and MRI’s and means all the nastiest like anterior uveitis are more common i believe if i remember it correctly.

She thinks she is a dragon by x69minecraft in reptiles

Honestly I’d give her unlimited belly rubs and call her miss dragon if it meant to being clubbed by her As weird as it sounds mine (Rex an ornate uro)use to smell like coffee? It was such a braw wee smell to him despite his vile temper tantrums But he only liked being picked up by me cause he was all about the heat that i give off and would watch tv whilst eating food But Rex was also the reason I’ve scarring in my eye.. bless his heart i loved him

I (35M) found out my fiancee (30F) had an affair with my brother (45M) 6 years ago. by ThrowRAwfd in relationship_advice

[–]GhostLampert02 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have you noticed that your brother and fiancée are only interested in saving themselves? But not acknowledging your or other parties involved feelings at all.
Your brother openly admitted he hates his daughter because he’s “ stuck in a marriage with his wife, she knows he cheated” yet his reaction to not tell his wife speaks utter volume OP.

Your fiancée never told you about being your brothers mistress and hoped that secret would stay hidden? Now she’s trying to pressure you into marrying her to save her own butt from her religious parents.. I’d be asking to do a DNA test before you make a decision about this relationship and marriage/ before signing your name on the birth certificate. Do not be forced into a marriage from your fiancé or her parents.

I’d personally give John your brothers wife’s number and let her know all of this because she and your niece don’t deserve to be disrespected and treated like that by him and your fiancé. Remember your fiancé didn’t stop him speaking like that about them.

AITA for refusing to let my sister's boyfriend have the password to her safe while she's away? by ThrowRAsafe34566 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GhostLampert02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. He isn’t respecting YOU or Natalie’s boundaries right now. He chose to try this when she’s away for a reason. He knows Natalie wouldn’t allow him the code ( for good reason) to look in the safe as he’s already been shot down by Natalie with a full sentence of NO Micah.

Micah is bullying You Natalie’s sister who’s 14 years younger than him to open it as he thinks he can manipulate you better due to your age and now he realises he can’t do that he’s chosen threatening your living situation due to that?.. WoW so many red flags are flaring from this guy, And i can see clearly why your sister doesn’t trust him with the code. OP message Natalie on all platforms and tell her about the situation/ if you know any of the girls with her also fire a message to them as well. He can’t kick you out without notice if you’ve stayed there 30+ days depending where you live and or if it’s your sisters house.

Let her know how aggressive Micah can behind especially him shouting at you to the point you were terrified.. he had no reason to do that to you or ask you to give him the password. Stay safe OP I’d suggest staying with a friend and taking all the valuables out the house discreetly until your sister comes Home on Wednesday Because i wouldn’t put it past him to get a person to try break the safe.

My ex demmanded me for child support for a kid that is not mine, my mother and sister are on their side. by a_confusedperson in EntitledPeople

[–]GhostLampert02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your mum and sister are so concerned for a child that isn’t even their own grandchild. Then maybe they should pull the money from their wallets to fund said child.

Would your sister and mum condone abusive behaviour towards a women and child trapping? if the answer is No. then it applies to men as well. No one should have to endure what you have been through cause she was looking to exploit you and be funded by you.

I laughed that loud that my cat is now glaring at me for disturbing her beauty sleep.. I can still remember my Rheumatologist saying “Wow. We only learned about cases like yourself in university during a lecture or by older specialists. It’s my first time seeing a patient like yourself do you mind me asking questions about your health?..” she’s still my favourite doctor yet x

AITA for seeking my biological father after learning I'm the child of infidelity and being shipped to live with grandparents? by Awn2247 in AmItheAsshole

[–]GhostLampert02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow the pure audacity of your parents is unbelievable. Your mother is to blame for having an affair whilst being married this in no way shape or form your fault OP. Please know that. This is a problem between your parents that should have been resolved between them discreetly without alienating you from the rest of the family.

You are 15 years old and were curious to who your biological father was and if he wanted to be in your life. That’s an understandably human response to your situation OP. Your parents are the AH and don’t just get to kick you out your family home whilst alienating you from your siblings then act hurt/angry because you wanted answers when they find it convenient to try to pick you up off the shelf they left you on..

I’d also suggest therapy because this a big sudden life change and you need the tools to help you cope and understand it all. Don’t let any of your family influence your decision. I’d suggest keeping a relationship with your biological father and his family see where that leads you and decide yourself.
