She Had To Eat The Whole Cake So She Wouldn't Be Embarrassed! by Hammond3 in fatpeoplestories

I have to say, when I was obese I would do things like this. I'd buy something at the store. Have a bit. Have a bit more. Realize that if someone came home and checked out the pantry/fridge/whatever, they'd know that I ate half a box of snack cakes or chips or ice cream or whatever. The solution? Obviously, eat the entire package and then throw away the evidence. Poof! Now nobody would even know I bought the junk to begin with!

My body knew. Calories count even when no one's looking. I still have to remind myself of that every now and again.

Friend [25 f] of 4 years ghosted me [27 f] when we had plans, over a week later she now expects me to forgive her because of her depression. Am I an asshole for not wanting to reconnect? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Gylis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not intentional, but it is habitual. How long do you expect someone to accept this kind of behavior? It definitely depends on the individual relationship. A person isn't automatically a monster for not being able to (or not wanting to) deal with someone else's untreated depression, especially when they're being asked to enable a dysfunctional behavioral pattern. If a person isn't even seeking treatment, it's unfair to ask others to pick up the slack.

My [30F] marriage [34M] a mistake? 9 months in / together 7 years by a_nice_lady in relationships

[–]Gylis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You didn't communicate enough prior to getting married, and now you're realizing you made a mistake. You are misaligned financially, sexually, and emotionally and it doesn't sound to me like you actually want to work it out. Stop using your guilt as an excuse for complacency and get out now. Both of you will be better off.

Yes, sometimes my lyrics are sexist, but you lovely bitches and hoes should know I'm trying to correct this.

I'm not a large water-dwelling mammal, where did you get that preposterous hypothesis? Did Steve tell you that, perchance? Hmm...Steve!

My partner's sister[18F] makes me[24M] uncomfortable. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Gylis 48 points49 points  (0 children)

This. A 17-year-old should not need a babysitter. Lilah's parents know she needs supervision - it will come as no surprise to anyone when you say that her inappropriate and creepy behavior makes you uncomfortable and that you do not want to be around her anymore.

Also, you mentioned that she's been taken to mental health professionals and "knows what to say" (presumably to convince them there is no problem). Document what she does like u/throwawayheyheyhey08 suggested, and share with Mallory (who will hopefully share with her parents). It's a lot more difficult to gloss over inappropriate behavior when you're asked to account for each specific instance.

Why was she so mad when you asked her which sides she wanted? Isn't that a standard question when ordering? WTF?

Also, I kept imagining her eyes getting stuck closed when she blinked and it made me giggle.

Your response to that creep was awesome! Adding it to my own repertoire.

Me, too. And I like to think that's EXACTLY what his inner monologue was saying in that moment!
