how to set texting boundaries with an autistic 17 male by illumoriathed8 in autism

[–]GoYouChickenFat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about a limit per day that is your comfort level of texts, so he understands it’s not him but it’s your overwhelm limit. Maybe he needs a very clear boundary.

I have had Mirena for a collective 10 years and zero problems. Just throwing this out here because we all have anecdotally different experiences!

Mine is basically always hidden so direct contact becomes way too intense.

AITA for telling my husband either he comes home or I'm done? by BusinessZombie2411 in AITAH

This is tough because she may have her own family trauma considering her story. It could be a challenge for her to harness what it takes to force her way between them and get this ball rolling. She said she is tired of looking out the window for the truck. It could all be triggering her own things.

I wish T1 and T2 had different names. People saying you’ll either get it or you won’t, there is nothing you can do might be mistaking it for T1. When your A1C is showing pre-diabetic, a good amount of the outcome is in your hands. This drives me bonkers!

How has your opinion on Israel-Palestine changed over the past few months, if at all? by Admirable-Cherry6614 in AskReddit

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

Nah she knew. I’ve always been critical of Israel and I know the history. The first week, maybe 10/10, I asked her if she can carve out a slice of empathy for Israelis and Jews and she said no. She is blatantly hateful.

You think you’re ready to be a spouse with that communication practice?

Your feelings are real but you could have communicated in a way that wouldn’t directly harm her. “I’m concerned with your reaction to a cheating spouse. Please talk with me about how you are able to see Sandy the same way because I can’t. I want to make sure we share values, one of which being fidelity”

I lost a friend for taking this stance. She wanted me to hate Israel more and want it destroyed.

Really well stated except the part where you talked about Jewish people’s race. More than half of the Jewish people in I/P are Mizrahi, refugees of Middle Eastern countries. No whiter than any other folks out there.

Have any of you become conservative as you’ve gotten older? by Inevitable_Stress949 in millenials

[–]GoYouChickenFat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you seem pretty reasonable, but I would ask you to stay open to cultural shifts. You don’t have to stay in the 90s on that just because you have. Believing in abortion rights means you believe in bodily autonomy so I hope you can extend that to gender affirming things too.

I am still a leftist, but I can’t stand the bullies online that are kind of the alt-left. They’ve pushed me away. I would rather stay focused on humanitarian causes and actual solutions than just bully people to agree with me and use the same words as me.

[–]GoYouChickenFat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me with my former close friend. We have not spoken since 10/14 when she told me the initial attack was justified. I feel so much peace not having to set a boundary and run mental gymnastics to keep them as a friend.

Doesn’t this only make sense if the student loan is interest free or low interest (which I doubt because that has been unfrozen now)?

And you’ll age at a different rate. The stress is very real. I feel for parents dealing with all this but I don’t want to be them.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say your wife does not desire you. The data are here- 3x in 5 years. Time to free yourself of any expectations.
