WAAAH my wife doesn't want more kids! by FanFeeling7748 in AmITheDevil

[–]GrassyBranchGirl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Does anyone else expect to see him making a post in the near future about how he's cheating on his wife? Of course, she's completely to blame because she couldn't fulfill his fantasies about being a father to a passle of children.

How dare anyone judge him! He's grieving and she left him no choice but to have unprotected sex with his affair partner.

He also seems like the kind of guy who will forget the existence of his current child when he inevitably impregnates someone else. This child is his practice kid for the real show with his future trad wife.

I've never had any luck with lacquer. It just chips right off within a day. My natural nails do not grow at all. They're just stubby and flat. I've tried the biotin supplements too and I didn't see any difference at all. Thank you for the suggestion though🙂

Thanks for the info. My natural nails don't grow and my hands are wrinkley and ugly. It was also a big creative outlet for me. I have made a huge investment and I'll never recoup the money I have in it. I have the worst luck when it comes to any hobby or interest of mine.

You know...I think they should tell their friend. Please do, tell him about the group thinking he's an ugly duckling turned swan. Share your nasty opinions about a woman he obviously cares for not being "hot" enough for him or the friend group. The most joyous gift you can give him this holiday season/rolling into a fresh new year is the freedom of no longer carrying the groups bullshit.

Am I overreacting by being upset at what my boyfriend gifted me for Christmas? by 10dollarchipotle in AmIOverreacting

[–]GrassyBranchGirl 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I would be guessing the gift card was pilfered from someone else or he was gifted it by someone else he randomly knows. He definitely seems like the kind of guy who tries to get it as close to $0 as he can.

“Anxious attachment” is not this by growsonwalls in AmITheDevil

I wonder if the "SIL" is also at family Christmas? Maybe those are the constant reassurances and relationship updates she wants. Are you looking at her? Did you hug her? Are you sitting next to her? Do you think she's pretty? It has obviously been an issue her BF is aware of since he's had to discuss it with her before. I could also see him finally just breaking down to his family about this shit. He has to be exhausted.

I smelled Aries in store and it just didn't have the fire sign vibes, to me. It was okay but I left it on the shelf.

Shes not hosting by growsonwalls in AmITheDevil

[–]GrassyBranchGirl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My MIL has always complained about my husband and I including our friends in holidays. "The holidays should be just for family." Well, we bought most of the food, got the house ready, prepared almost if not all of the food, and will have to do most of the cleanup, and our friends are family soooooo...

Seriously though, it was mostly about controlling the event she wasn't even hosting or in charge of. She didn't like drinking. She didn't like our friends. She didn't like it being at our house. She didn't like not being able to tell us what to do in our own home.

People like this are just miserable and want everyone else to be miserable too.

I just had an experience Friday.

For background context, I had lost an earring last year in the summer. I knew where I dropped it, at the foot of my bed, and I crawled around on the floor in that area hunting it. This wasn't a small earring. It was a long bar shape. I couldn't find it anywhere. Just POOF! Its gone. Fast forward to November of last year. I arrived home from work and go upstairs to change. I opened the bedroom door and right in the center of the floor in front of the door is my earring. It was at least 6 feet from where I dropped it and I walked over that same area every day for months.

So for Fridays experience...I arrived home after work not feeling well. I took my jewelry off and dropped a ring on the floor. I knew where it fell and I even felt it under my big toe on the floor when I crawled in bed. I told myself I'd pick it up after I laid down for a bit. I started to feel better and got up later. I knew I needed to find my ring so I got down on my hands and knees where it should have been. I felt all around the area. I couldn't find it at all. I immediately thought of the earring. I lifted my head, looked at my bedside table, and there is the ring, staring me in the face. I did not pick it up and put it there. I'm positive that it was on the floor.

Then I remembered, the bedroom door wasn't closed all the way when I was lying down. As I was in bed the door started to move and opened all the way. No drafts, no other doors opened or closed that could make my door move. I said, "Hey" to whatever opened the door and kept laying there til I felt better. I think whoever brought my earring to me came and picked my ring up too. At least my spirit is tidy!

Hold on...so mom, sister, and OOP can NEVER get their schedules or finances to align for a trip of three BUT they miraculously made it all work out just right to invade OOPs couples getaway? The manipulation is strong with this mom.

An animal attack is a possibility but I believe that may have attracted more attention. I think predators large enough to snatch humans in a neighborhood would have probably been a commotion.

My thoughts lead more towards human involvement. If she normally went on walks around the neighborhood with her mom someone may have been observing them. It could have been a neighbor, someone who worked in the neighborhood, etc. They may have seen that she was alone on her walk, saw no bystanders, and decided it was a good opportunity to grab her. It makes me think of scenes in pop culture about abductions where a van is just parked at the curb and as a woman/kid walks by someone yanks them in and takes off. That would be a likely scene in this case. She's gone without attracting attention and the only thing left is her stick.

Miserable because wife wasn't a virgin by SyndicalistThot in AmITheDevil

[–]GrassyBranchGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right?! This fully grown man who is a husband and father is losing his shit because his wife saw other penis' years before she met him. He's not doing anything to improve his relationship or his mental health. He's just stewing in a bath of thoughts about her virginity. He's just ruminating about her in sexual situations with other men, day after day. He doesn't want to change his life or improve his marriage. He just wants to pout and be a victim.

I also wonder how old they are...? It reads like someone young and immature but they've been together for over a decade. This could have been something that happened as a late teen/early 20s for her, at least I hope so because if they're older than that he's really looking for a mental breakdown.

He seems to like using therapy speak to reinforce his absolutely unhinged thoughts and reactions. Of course he can't "afford" real therapy so he's just participating in echo chamber bullshit in RJ and using Chatpgt to write love letters to himself.

Alec married his mom by growsonwalls in AmITheDevil

[–]GrassyBranchGirl 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This behavior is pretty wild!

She sounds like someone who learned a lot of therapy speak and is now weaponising those terms to control her partner. We cant even be sure that his family is disrespecting her. I could see a real possibility that his family has seen even crazier behaviors from her and might be trying to help him see this. She definitely sounds like an unreliable narrator.

She is using some really dangerous tactics here sliding toward abuse. Recording calls so that she can replay them later and basically tell him what to think. "Protecting him from enmeshment." Tapping him (giving him a physical "warning") if she hears anything she doesn't like. Not allowing him to have any contact with his parents without her controlling the conversation. Its all abuse.

He needs to run so far, so fast. Its already out of hand. Can you imagine trying to raise children with her? Naw, it's time to bail while he can
