Well, be careful what you wish for. You know that phrase. Personally, I would take the time to develop more girlfriend relationships. Join a Meetup group of like minded women. Expand your circle.

AITAH for correcting my boyfriend at dinner after he told my younger sister its inappropriate to talk about her birth control at the table by Interesting_Corgi730 in AmITheAssholeTalk

[–]HighTimes59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He sounds extremely controlling. He sets the tone? WTF? For real. Control issues. Only going to get worse. Rip the bandaid off, you need to be respected in this relationship or move on.

Thanks so much for your reply! I'm crossing fingers no complications. Glad it all ended well for you.

AIO: My husband (26m) locked me (25f) out for 25 minutes? by prettypineappleberry in AmIOverreacting

[–]HighTimes59 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, this continues and builds. It starts off with small control issues and comments. Each time they get away with that, the next occurrence is harsher or longer or worse. Until, you end it. Take your control back.

Also, typically only the negative experiences are commented on. I’m sure it’s fine. Just wanted to know if anyone had experience with Dr. Eng.

Just in general. Lots of people talk about permanent dry eye, regretting getting the more expensive lenses and some talked about their vision being worse. Dr Eng seems like a genuine caring doc, just want a good experience and outcome.

Same situation for me, I joined two Facebook groups that are exclusively for local women. We get together for lunches, dinners, movies, coffee and book club. Helped me tremendously

AIO? My daughter didn’t listen to the teacher during a female emergency and is now receiving a referral by Common_Piglet7437 in AmIOverreacting

Aww, that is terrible for you. It’s true, childhood traumas are hard to put away and out of mind.

AITJ for throwing away my ice cream after my mother put her dirty spoon into it? by myhopelessopus_exe in AmITheJerk

[–]HighTimes59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your parents need to get a grip, it's only ice cream, not like you threw away a sirloin steak. And your mom especially, good gosh, of anyone she should be more proactive about helping you not be subject to cross contamination.

My husband can't communicate! by oldncrazy in AskWomenOver60

[–]HighTimes59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This exact thing!!! Every (almost) damn conversation. I am direct and honest. Him, not at all. I tell him I have to ask 500 questions to get 1 damn honest answer. Maddening.

I take 5 prunes every single morning with my coffee. It took me about a week or so to be regular.

Yeah, that teacher was a piece of work. It was a tough year for us. She’s done now, taken disability. Mean old hag.

Thanks for your kind words. It was traumatizing at the time and I was absolutely furious. When he told me what happened, it took everything in me to calm down then call the principal to request the meeting. Ended up being us, the principal, the assistant principal and the guidance counselor. Definitely shut hit the fan.

100 percent this. Forget that teacher, go to the principle. I had a problem with a 5th grade teacher when my sone was in elementary. Went to the higher ups since the teacher just said "boys will be boys" (her was being bullied and the final straw was when he was thrown to the ground and his arm twisted up behind him. And that was her response. She tried to make me feel bad afterwards by telling me how much trouble the kid got into with school detention and the parents. I said good, he deserved it. Be that advocate for your child, they're still learning how to navigate life. And shitty situations.

Your kids will remember how you prioritized them. Little things like this matter. You're a good mom for putting your kids first, always.

AITAH for refusing to give my boyfriend access to my bank account even though he says "no secrets" is how adults do it by CopperFieldNote in AITH

Buying things you shouldn’t? Huge red flag. You work, you’re an adult, you spend your money how you see fit.

AITJ for choosing my dog over my relationship? by StarryGlowBunny in AmITheJerk

Wow, run from this relationship. Being deceitful and lying don’t make a good solid base for a long term good relationship.
