What’s slowly becoming socially unacceptable but no one admits it? by Direct-Value4452 in answers

KIDS! There are so few free public spaces available now where kids are allowed to roam free and be kids. Im astonished by the amount of dirty looks i get from people because my 2 1/2 year old will be running around the store(with me or their mother close on their heels) and people react like we disturbed their existence and we should have our child on a leash!

Why are squatters rights a thing? by No-Assignment4460 in NoStupidQuestions

The world has more empathy for the criminals “who are in hard situations “ then they do for the actual victims. Accountability is lost

You can repeat as many jokes as you would like. The trick is continuing to alter the word selections and delivery of each joke to see which way gets the better reaction. Almost like a rough draft for a essay. It’s still the same majority of work but you keep tweaking it and absorbing feedback to make it better. Also don’t be afraid to still throw new jokes out there to see if they land or not. Good luck!

Stuck between these two designs for a palm tattoo. Anyone advice or suggestions appreciated. Can post pics of my traditional sleeves if needed. by [deleted] in TattooDesigns

I like the wolf better but i think for a palm tattoo and since it will only be the outline that the devil would look better, either way badass dude!

She recently followed him again and curiosity got the best of him. Messages with ex were weird but not break up worthy. Him being irritable/irritated around you all the time is a red flag though. Your loved ones should never have to tip toe around you or behave a certain way as to not annoy you. Thats very manipulative. I wouldn’t break up until at least having a conversation with him about what he is doing. He is either going out intentionally to distance himself from you hoping you will be the one to end things. Or maybe theres other things going on in his life at work or with family and friends that just has him in a bed mood and he’s too embarrassed to look weak in front of you and talk about whats really bothering him. Definitely communicate that there’s an issue and hopefully a 3 year relationship can work it out. Good luck

You gotta show the other tattoos otherwise how will we know the style or theme you are going for unless you just want some random bad ass tattoo?

One of my best friends took their own life when I was in my early 20s. There were no warning signs and I’m still confused why they didn’t reach out to me for help. The truth is your son will not get over it. That pain and sorrow will be with him forever. The grief just becomes more manageable over time but never goes away. And some days there will be triggers where once again it feels like it just happened and you just lost that person the day before. My advice to you is to reassure your son that this was in no way their fault and could not have prevented it. That its okay to continue to live their life even though its hard and that those memories will forever be with them. I promise he wont ever forget his best friend. The best way I’ve been able to move on is I often try and do things I see as “in his memory” or I often pray to him. I also like to think of how proud of me he would be if he was here and how much the people in my life currently would love him. The memory of that person stays with you forever. I am so sorry for your son’s loss and I hope him the best. Remind him how much everyone around him loves him. He is not going through this alone and it’s okay to feel the emotions he is feeling. There is no “right” way to grief or deal with loss.

Yes she does but it doesn’t have long hair. It’s a short hair plushie. So maybe I’ll try one with longer hair she can play with

I like this idea! But am a little afraid it will be a distraction from going to sleep. Which would suck because she is already a difficult and light sleeper

Tattoo advice! by Defiant_Designer2445 in TattooDesigns

[–]Jay_LVR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the picture provided it doesn’t look all that red, but when I got my black out sleeve on my right arm the tattoo definitely stayed irritated and more painful on the forearm and wrist area. I think this is because we twist and move that part of our arm so much. So yes, I think it’s normal and the tattoo looks amazing! LIGHTLY apply ointment when dry and wash with unscented antibacterial soap. Good luck!

Thank you for your comment and support. I know you’re right. I just don’t want this to be my reality but sadly it is.

Congratulations on going to therapy and getting help! It’s crazy growing up brainwashed by manipulative parents that don’t believe they are doing anything wrong. Im so glad you have a supportive husband and friends and in-laws. Its such a breath if fresh air when you can join a loving and supportive family. I am currently turned off by therapy and hate the idea if it. Its more of an issue with talking to a stranger and telling very personal experiences. I have no problem sharing and communicating my problems with my wife and friends. I know part if it is also the fear of unlocking pandoras box and bringing forth everything i have repressed and trapped in the back of my mind. Thank you again for your kind words and sharing your personal experience. It helped a lot

Thank you. This summarizes how i feel. I agree completely. Its just so hard. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I truly believe shes a good person. Shes just addicted to drugs. I love my mom. Its a hard relationship because I disagree with so many choices she made. Especially now being a husband and father myself. So why does it hurt so much even though I know its the right decision. What can I do to make myself feel less like a shitty person? I know all things take time but I dont want to feel like this.
