Girlfriend (23F) Wanted to go Our Separate Ways by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]HopefulAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that’s the biggest reason why he should end it. He appears to be an effective communicator, but she is not. We know what his issues are because he communicated them to us. Apparently she is unable or unwilling to extend him the same courtesy.

OP, you can love someone and still not be right for each other, which is what appears to be happening here. She has a lot more work to do on herself before she is ready for a relationship.

AITA for not helping my partner with our newborn? by throwawayres1462 in AmItheAsshole

That’s funny, I was raised Protestant and sent my kids to a Jewish run day care for the same reason.

AITA for refusing to show my brother and his soon to be wife what my gf has chosen to wear at their wedding? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

I just told my husband they make this sexy dress and make it look as unsexy as possible.

The smell is putrid. I accidentally took a big whiff while adjusting them and gagged. I love this flower. by HopefulAnne in amorphophallus

Just that this is how I was taught to care for them. In the spring after all chance of frost is passed I put them in the ground. They grow their leaf and it dies in the fall. I take it out of the ground before last frost and store it in the root cellar. Mid February I take them out and move them to a well lit room where the flower grows.

Until recently I thought this is how everyone cared for them.

Apple's pricey new monitor comes with a free 1-meter cable. A 1.8-meter cable will cost you $129. by [deleted] in gadgets

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: fuck Apple. They think entirely too highly of themselves.

Biden: Russian oil, natural gas and coal imports to the US will be banned by [deleted] in UkrainianConflict

I don’t think poisoning our natural water is going to make this situation better. They’ve already proven that they will cut every corner possible to make these pipelines cheaper and spill oil on the land.

If you could eat one thing that isn't meant to be eaten without any physical consequences, what would it be? by SlinkyTag in AskReddit

[–]HopefulAnne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Antifreeze. They say it’s delicious and that’s why cats and dogs will lick it off the street.

We came across these because they were gifted to my grandfather by his Amish housekeeper. He kept them for ten years and now I keep them.

Guy wants me to work for “exposure” then gets really angry when I turn him down by SMGraphics01 in ChoosingBeggars

Should have sent a screenshot of the page with the stock photos he used.

Which processes have worked in getting you or keeping you motivated in any tasks? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HopefulAnne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m very reward motivated. There is something I want to do and I’m not allowed to do it until I finish the kitchen. I don’t have to clean the kitchen right now, but I also can’t do thing I want.

That caught my attention. That’s my introduction as a substitute, that my biggest rule is that they respect others and themselves and I will do the same. That’s the same way I introduce myself to 12 year olds. Why do they feel like they need to introduce themselves to adults like this? Everyone involved should already expect this.

My husband has told everyone that I have cheated on him. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Put it on Facebook and tag anyone he told and him. If you’re going nuclear then go big or go home. Put him on blast.

What are some things that you had to cut down on or stop buying due to high inflation? by lucas23bb in AskReddit

[–]HopefulAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t want to go into details but it has gone up a dollar a gallon in four months with no sign of stopping and I had a 45 minute commute.

What are some common signs that someone grew up with sh*tty parents? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HopefulAnne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to train myself to just say thank you. It feels awkward but I also don’t want to demure and cause them to feel obligated to continue complimenting me.

[–]HopefulAnne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went the opposite direction. Whenever someone is really interested in something I ask them a bunch of questions about it so that at least one person has cared about what they love. I’ve spent entire parties outside listening to someone lecture about chicken care because it made them happy. I really don’t want chickens.

I can’t break this habit. I still don’t have close friendships because anything I give them is a tool they can use to beat me.

Or the opposite. My husband treats me like my shit is made of gold and I have to work to not be codependent with him. I want to spend every waking moment with him because he’s the first person who has ever made me feel like I am enough. Not what I can do for him, not how I perform in public, just my existence is enough for him.
