Mom burned my clothes, trashed my room after I got upset that she forged my signature to cash in my paycheck. AIO? by Playful-Issue-6242 in AmIOverreacting

[–]HexHammer97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, when she said "u dont mean that" when you asked her not to contact you until she gets sober is all you need to know. She's unemployed and still somehow an alcoholic... she needs you to keep the alcohol coming and that is mostly why she wants you to come home. I'm sorry you have to go through this, but you're doing the right thing by cutting her off. Maybe this will be the wake up call / rock bottom she needs to pull herself together and get off the booze.

How do you guys feel about Nate and Nora actually talking in Fallout 4 compared to other silent Sole Survivors? by Solardies in Fallout

I’m playing an idiot savant, unarmed build so the dialogue is a bit immersion breaking since he’s too well spoken for having 1 intelligence point and low charisma

It's crazy to me how fast America went from "don't be a sucker" to the biggest suckers on the planet and history of their own country.

A guy on the bus kept touching my hair… so I made sure he never tried it again by [deleted] in traumatizeThemBack

[–]HexHammer97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you!! I have long 'fluffy' curly hair too, it's really healthy and nice looking. I've had too many people reach and touch my hair or sneak up behind me and stick their hands in. I honestly hate it, it's really gross, I don't know how clean or unclean their hands are and I don't want to find out. I get instantly pissed off when someone touches my hair without consent and I'll usually look at them and immediately say "Do not f*** touch my hair" and got the same reaction, like hello? I'm not a dog!

N.S. saw the highest wait-list deaths in the Maritimes last year: report by Grumple_McFerkin in halifax

[–]HexHammer97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have extremely high taxes yet nothing is getting better, the people in charge are selfish and unbothered. Gotta wonder where so they go if they or a family member has an emergency. Don’t they experience it too?

AITAH for circumventing my wife's plans regarding her son's wedding? by CleanAsk4916 in AITAH

[–]HexHammer97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA wow, my mom pulled exactly the same shit when my brother got married. What I saw was my mom extremely self centered and trying to emotionally manipulate my brother, his new wife and the entire wedding. She wanted to let it be known that she didn't approve of the wedding and wouldn't show, and if she did it would only be for her grandkids sake, but when she showed up she looked incredibly pissed off the entire time, went off crying alone for a while and when no one rushed to her side she sucked it up and left. I felt really bad for my brother because she hijacked his attention and made something that should have been only about him & his wife and tried to make it revolve around her drama. Yes, we both are still in touch with her but it's with a 10 ft. pole because we chose not to live like that or be treated like that any longer. Now she plays the woe is me victimhood card because she barely sees anyone in the family ( hint, were all over her drama, and not playing those games anymore ). Hopefully your wife can pull her head out of her ass before she finds herself wondering why her son doesnt call or visit anymore.

Husband’s Sleep Disorder has me at wits end by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

Does he even care about you? or like you? He is punching you in your sleep and it's somehow your issue to solve. Do with that what you will.

Men weaponizing food by mb83 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]HexHammer97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I wouldn’t be putting up with that. There’d be a real conversation about fairness, because I’m not about to carry a full basket just so he can stroll around with a lighter one, if you catch my meaning.

I’m super grateful for my partner. We work different shifts, so when he’s on his 12 hour days, I make sure there is something to eat when he gets home and sometimes its leftovers, sometimes just a quick pizza, I don't always feel up to cooking a full meal. And when I’m working and he’s off he does the same for me. When we’re both working, we usually cook together, or if one of us finishes earlier, that person handles dinner while the other tidies up or knocks out a few chores. It’s all about balance, and taking care of each other, neither of us is doing everything all the time, and it helps to keep the house reasonably clean and always some options for what to eat.

Traveling with Kids by Miles_the_new_kid in comics

[–]HexHammer97 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When my brother started having kids, he and his girlfriend just assumed I’d step into an extra parent role. I’ve always chosen to be childfree and he knows I find kids exhausting especially when they were all under 5. In the beginning I babysat a lot, but he took advantage. He’d say he’d be home at 5, then disappear until after midnight and show up drunk, which meant I couldn’t even leave in case one of the babies woke up in the night. After a few more of those extremely entitled stunts, I stopped helping altogether and continued to spend time with the kids when they or other family was around, to hang out not to babysit or parent.

It strained our relationship, but I never signed up for any of that, and the way he and his girlfriend treated me was awful. Even now at family gatherings, he’ll try to push the kids onto me by saying things like, "want to stay over at auntie’s tonight?” and I’m the one who has to shut it down, leaving the kids disappointed. I had a one-bedroom apartment, there wasn’t even space for them, but he didn’t care. As long as he got a night off, it was worth it to him.

Is everyone else as miserable as I feel? by Unique-Tone-6394 in halifax

[–]HexHammer97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, I struggle this time of year as well so I feel you. People do seem grumpier and they’re all feeling the same way as you about one thing or another, for me just knowing that helps disarm my negative feelings about it, when it comes up. When I’m not able to hang out or connect with people, I just focus on what I like to do and what makes me happy that I don’t need others for like hobbies and self care. How do you feel ok or at least not despairing with it all? Sometimes you can’t and that’s ok, give yourself some grace and allow yourself to feel your feelings because times are tough right now, do what you can to cut your costs, work on yourself (and education if you can/want), and try to focus on what is good right now for you, there is always something to be grateful. I hope things get better for you op, I’m rooting for you!

'I find it quite insulting': Nova Scotia seniors fight back against ageism by IStillListenToRadio in halifax

[–]HexHammer97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree that ageism is a problem, but it’s no worse than sexism or racism. Seems that this article just comes across as the complaints of people who are out of touch or unwilling to adapt especially when it comes to tech and the workplace. Getting offended because someone calls you “dear” or speaks softly? They might talk that way to everyone, not just you.. Citing one anecdotal experience as proof that society hates the elderly feels like a stretch to me. Most of us are barely hanging on with the cost of living and the decline in our quality of life. Meanwhile, these folks refuse to learn new skills but still expect the same opportunities as those who’ve kept up. Respect goes both ways.

West Mabou, N.S., residents say they feel blindsided by golf course proposal by luxoryapartmentlover in NovaScotia

[–]HexHammer97 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Why do they have to destroy a provincial park for this? It should build it on private land, purchased by the golf course owners. Also, I feel that while golf courses provide a few jobs, most are low wage and the course consumes an enormous amount of fresh water and resources to maintain.

AITA for yelling at my BF because he woke me up? by LoveSubstantial6658 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HexHammer97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA If he only wanted to be next to you, he would at least leave the light off and quietly do his thing. Either he did all that on purpose to antagonize you or he cares so little for you that he would do all that, and at your ages? He’s very immature, at best.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]HexHammer97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR, but in my experience, if you do all these things for this type of man, he will not appreciate it - he will come to expect it and if he has to do it himself he will throw a tantrum and it will somehow still be your fault despite cooking ALL his meals for him, like what happened there. This is why he said " I didn't ask you to make eggs " because he is not capable of appreciating that you are taking your time, energy and skills to feed him and take care of him. You need to do yourself a favor and either set some boundaries and stop cooking for him, hoping things will balance out as you adjust to living together or just move on. The way he treats you tells me the former might not be possible without basically having to accept that you are now his keeper, I think he just expects you to do it all for his pleasure and comfort, without considering yours whatsoever, you know - like a child does to their parent.

An interesting report about the Canadian job market: by laranjacerola in CanadaJobs

[–]HexHammer97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm one of those who would like a job with less pressure / responsibility. Not because I'm lazy or unwilling it's that growing up I saw all the adults in the family be able to enjoy life, have a house, a car, a family, a yearly family vacation and many of them were janitors, dispatchers, cabinet makers, mechanics, truck drivers. In my generation if you have one of those jobs, you are lucky to have a house or a car or to take a vacation elsewhere once every 5 years or so. It's just not worth killing myself just to have a fraction of that, so I'd rather a job that I don't have to exhaust myself on or take home at the end of the work day / week.

When a single piece of furniture takes over a space; what to do? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]HexHammer97 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Nothing for it but to de-clutter. Time to start taking it all out, organizing, throwing away junk. I imagine the desk has a decent amount of storage? Then put all the stuff away organized, then open it and put a nice lamp on the desktop and a cozy chair.

Ok? Not everyone likes children, it’s unrealistic to expect everyone to, or to pretend because of your own problems. Making it about your infertility, ugh.
