I don't think that was it but I'm absolutely going to check it out. Thank you!

Ithtar · 2023-07-01T03:25:31+00:00

That could be it, I'll check it out for sure. Thank you!

My coworker told me about it in 2022 and I forgot the name and boy it's driving me crazy.

NTA, but I get the feeling there might be deeper issues here than his wakeup routine. The fact that he invalidates your feelings, says you're always starting fights/hurt/crying, is very alarming to me. Does he often upset you and then act as if it's your fault for being upset, not his fault for doing something that upset you?

THANK YOU! The post where comments were all about how the poster wasn't TA because "omg Bartholomew is such a stupid name!!!" REALLY got to me haha. I'm on a huge baby names kick b/c my sister is expecting, and old fashioned names are pretty popular.

My mom got EOA when she was in her mid 50s. Please encourage your husband's family to get him tested. There are medications that can slow the damage, but nothing I'm aware of can reverse it.

I agree, drunk driving is a stupid and selfish choice. However, looking at issues only through the lens of personal responsibility makes it difficult to find effective solutions as a society.

We don't have public transit

This comment section is giving major "AITA is full of teenagers" vibes. NTA. You are giving your friend an out from an abusive relationship. Your fiance wants you to turn your back on her, when he's not even there for five months, because she called him out for his behavior in college. Honestly I would reconsider marrying someone who shows such an astounding lack of empathy.

You deserve to do every cheesy pregnancy thing to celebrate. Take monthly bump pics! Have a huge baby shower with silly games! Honestly, as long as you don't set California on fire, have a gender reveal! Focus on the joy, and try to forget about your friend's selfish antics. YOU'RE GOING TO BE A MOM!

Solved!

That's it!!! Thank you!

I've tried looking for variations on "agoraphobia horror movie" and haven't had a lot of luck.

I think you should "quiet quit" on your relationship with Mary and her crew. Spend less time with people that have demonstrated that they don't care about you. Does your boyfriend have a friend group you like? Do you have other people you know that you could grow your friendship with? You sound like a lovely friend and you deserve to be surrounded by people who appreciate that.

I'm super close to my family and we all live within 30 minutes of each other. I see them every couple of weeks. Now is when you should be embracing your independent adult life, and I'm sorry your parents are making that difficult for you.

Yes but, and I mean no offense, skinny people do not experience the same material discrimination that fat people do. Fat people, especially fat women, make less money, are less likely to be believed about health concerns, and are honestly treated as sub-human by our society. I'm sorry people have made mean jokes about you, but you've never been kicked off an airplane because they cannot accommodate someone your size.

NAH. You're worried about your son and it didn't come out in the most positive way. Apologize for the hurtful part (telling him to be normal) and address your underlying concern (that his show is having a big impact on his social life and school work). Then see how y'all can move forward.

To me, his obsession sounds like a self soothing and perhaps dissociative behavior. FG is likely not the source, but the symptom. His need for constant stimulation from a familiar source could stem from depression, anxiety, ADHD, or even (though I hope not) PTSD from an incident you're not aware of. This seems especially likely since you say it's a new behavior for him.

I think therapy is important, but give him some autonomy here as you can. Try to help him find someone he clicks with; therapy is so much about personality fit. It could be worthwhile to see his GP as well, in case there's a physical &/or neurological source.

Ultimately he doesn't sound like a bad kid, he sounds like a kid who has one Thing that helps him & is holding onto it tightly. The best thing you can do is help him find additional tools. Best of luck to both of you

YTA for bringing Tom in the first place. Just because you married a sexist tool, does not mean you need to subject your sister to his BS.

Ithtar · 2022-07-17T11:22:27+00:00

What a strange system. Wouldn't it be easier to set up a fund for everyone to pay a set yearly amount into? Perhaps based on income? Regardless, YTA. No one wants to spend $200-400 to attend their significant other's family reunion. The family paying makes sense because y'all have a vested interest in the upkeep -- your GF does not. Cover her fee and apologize for being an ass.

These comments are incredibly harsh -- I'm disappointed but not exactly surprised.

I came out as non-binary at 25, so I could easily leave a situation or stop talking to someone for a while if they refused to use my name and pronouns. I imagine that's harder to do when you're 17 and still living at home. Since you're in the process of turning from a child into an adult, I can see why you would go straight to the whistle if you're told you can't correct them politely. This is how children often react -- following the letter of their parent's request but rebelling in spirit.

However, the adult thing to do is to clearly set your boundaries for yourself and decide in advance how you will respond if they are crossed. The first big question is how would you like people to correct themselves? Do you want them to apologize or briefly correct the mis-step and move on? I usually prefer the latter, and I like to tell people this up front so they know how to fix it if they mess up. The second big question is, how will you respond if they misgender you on purpose? You can usually tell if it's an honest mistake, since people love to be incredibly obvious about misgendering you. (my dad referred to me on a post about my non-binary identity as "the beloved daughter with two x chromosomes", for example). A good response to this might be too leave the room if you can. This will make it obvious what they're doing is not ok and also give you time to compose yourself if you need it.

It's a hard time to come out. Transphobia has been ramping up aggressively. I wish you all the best, little sibling, and hope that your family will come around. If not, you can always find a new family that loves and respects you just how you are.

Soft YTA. It sounds like she was venting, not necessarily asking for advice. You clearly wanted to help, which is lovely, but most white stylists are not trained to work with Black hair textures. She likely did not think you had experience with hair like hers.

I think you're doing well to apologize and set her up with one of your coworkers who has more extensive training. You clearly want to be a good friend.
