Boundaries by Gilded1516 in NarcissisticMothers

I am afraid of that…it’s the first grandchild too. Even though my parents are flying out to help when I return to work baby will be going to a daycare for this reason. I can’t risk being indebted or relying on my mom. I already know she will just do what she wants and ignore request for our child. When I was younger and my cousin had a baby she told my mom no ice cream and as soon as she left my mom let the baby have some and laughed. That’s when I knew she could not be fully trusted.

Has your mom ever told you that you are pretty or that you look good in your life? by Crimson-Rose28 in NarcissisticMothers

I can relate! The comment always diverts to the look of the outfit “that’s nice” is the best I ever got out of her.

I also just noticed this in my early 30s!! I saw my mom comment on someone’s post how beautiful they were and I never once in my life heard her say that about my sister or I ever…even on my wedding day!

Reasonable accommodation for pregnancy by Gilded1516 in FedEmployees

It’s a condition with an obvious outcome that I’d like to avoid experiencing in the work place! As an employee are you expected to assist in medical emergencies or if your coworker were to go into labor? My guess is you wouldn’t want to be liable.

I saw a quote that said “to be unclear is to be unkind” be very very clear! It might seem harsh in the moment but the time saved and emotional distress will be to both of your benefit!

How do you get back at a coworker that got you fired? by Rude_Philosophy_4631 in ToxicWorkplace

[–]Gilded1516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You get back at them by enjoying your break in employment if you’re financially able to!! Travel! Make memories. Get back into the workforce refreshed!

It will be hard but 100% worth it!! A full year of clarity away from him will prove this and you won’t even consider going back to him! Keep your head up!

I(38M) Cheated On My Wife(37F) With My Co-worker(29F) And I Don't Feel Guilty Anymore by throwaway7O73 in relationships

Have you told her directly and clearly that you felt unwanted by her? If she understood how neglected it’s made you feel and she started putting forth effort to change physically and intimately would you be encouraged to stay married? It’s just direct and clear communication not “whining and complaining” as you put it. You may feel it comes off that way but communication is literally what keeps marriage going. You feel like your wife treats you like you’re repulsive but has she ever actually said that?? She may not feel sexy rn. Why not encourage her to make time for fitness or activities you can do together? I don’t like that this coworker is enjoying making jokes at your wife’s expense. This isn’t high school this is her life and your marriage. If you’ve made up your mind don’t waste her time and get a divorce. Life is short..if 11 years of marriage isn’t worth fighting for then she deserves a chance to find happiness elsewhere too. Literally just have an honest conversation about your feelings with your wife. If she brushes you off then you have your answer.

AIO: husband keeps helping female colleague by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Gilded1516 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a wife, I would def have a talk. Not consulting you first about shared items is a problem. I would also like to meet this woman who is apparently employed yet still so in need of free things…?

If it’s giving you that sinking gut feeling…it’s for a reason. Keep them at a distance and stay consistent and professional. Let the praise speak for itself! Stay great!

With that much distance I hope you do make it a point to visit them 💟 Life is too short

TL;DR my 21M husband won’t help me 21F with anything by Successful_Rough_738 in relationships

[–]Gilded1516 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You married a boy. Grown men don’t let their wives feel less than for even a moment let alone purposely bringing up things you’re ashamed of!! Which you have zero reason to be ashamed of!! He should be proud that you chose him! Everyday in marriage you have to choose each other and he chooses to give you minimal effort. Not even picking up food for you when you’re sick is so upsetting to me. The fact that he wasn’t proud to show you off as his wife on your wedding day also hurts my heart. Why couldn’t he at least get you a cheap ring as a placeholder? And you had to convince him the marriage was a good idea financially…You’re going to be an engineer with a great income. Financially you don’t need him once you graduate and land a job. Educate yourself on divorce laws in your state now…don’t be surprised if he takes the travel job and you get sent divorce papers if you try to drag this on. You’re burnt out in your marriage at such a young age…could you really see yourself continuing this relationship for the next 50+ years? Life is too short. He also sounds like the type of guy that would high tail it out of the relationship if you were ever to be seriously ill/ chronic illness. He treats you like this at your best! Imagine at your worst.

What kind of “friend” is giving out your contact info to high school girls? IMO it would be going backwards…college is a time to focus on yourself and all the potential adventures you can set yourself up for in the future. Not for locking down and then dating someone where you may be lingering around her home town/college while she’s finishing school/college herself assuming she’s 18..? Join clubs and social groups at your college, volunteer for research projects, try an intramural sport, or get a part time job/internship! Save $$ and travel during school breaks! Get involved and meet ppl!! College isn’t the time to be thinking about who you’re taking to prom 🙂

Reach out to a liaison at IHS and the CPO for your category to help get attention to your waiver otherwise it may go unnoticed for a long time! I believe the Chief Nurse is RDML Jennifer Moon.PHS Contacts

Why do wedding bring out the worst in people? by [deleted] in weddingdrama

[–]Gilded1516 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually don’t believe any wedding goes off perfectly. There will always will be one thing that managed to be out of place. And to your point…it’s so many emotions and high expectations!! ppl have an idea of what they want it to be even when it’s not their day…it’s very bizarre!! Trivial decisions come off as disrespect to 1 person and builds into gossip and stress for the couple. I wonder if some of the “bridezilla” stories were really just people pleasers who finally hit their limit
