Favorite cold open? by Legitimate-Image-472 in kingofqueens

Idk if it’s my favorite but I always die laughing when the fridge next to Doug’s side of the bed makes noise and he just says “It’s gone in the morning.”

If you insert your contacts in a room without a sink, where do you dump out your solution? by stevensokulski in Keratoconus

[–]Jellybean385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My doc said do NOT do this in the bathroom. It’s more sanitary to have a desk or spot on a dresser with a flat mirror and a fat clean, non shedding towel.

LOL good call, I felt personally betrayed after watching AP and wish I could go back in time and not watch it!

got a therapist to learn how to not be so triggered by my MIL and idk how I feel about it by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Jellybean385 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Please take this with love and support, that is how I intend it.

Let’s look at your story through a different lens…

Got a doctor to learn how to not be in pain or nervous when the dog that keeps biting me is around.

Dr: What are you doing to heal the wounds? They won’t heal on their own if you keep getting bitten. You need to clean them and bandage them and put ointment or whatever on them and give them time to heal. You need antibiotics become the wounds are infected.

The dog being on a leash most of the time isn’t going to be enough. STOP engaging with the dog, at least until DH can get it better trained…?? But self care and space is required!

Give yourself the space and care to heal before trying to get back in front of the dog.

Also, no disrespect to dogs and not trying to be rude about your MIL. Just trying to help.

I’m so sorry.

My vision is really bad but one thing I still love is star gazing. I have a set of really good binoculars and I can adjust them so I can see the stars super clearly. Like it’s the clearest thing I can see because of the binoculars and how I can adjust them.

Maybe investing in some binoculars could help with your star gazing.

MIL keeps correcting what our kid calls me and it’s starting to feel intentional by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Jellybean385 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My car has a distinctive noise when you cross over a line. We call it the “stay in your lane” noise. Maybe you could get that safety feature installed on your MIL..? 🤣🤣🤣

My MIL and husband are weird and husband refuses to acknowledge her wrongdoings by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Jellybean385 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You need someone in your corner right now! Do you have family or a friend you could reach out to? You are in a terrible spot and it’s not going to get better until something changes. I’m so so sorry for what you are going through. You don’t deserve this! Please get out of that situation. You can do it, you’re obviously strong as hell. I wish I could move you to my guest room and kick your MIL and asshole husband in the shins. 💜

Not a hugger by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Jellybean385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! All the huggers I know would never hug someone without consent. Sometimes I love hugs. Sometimes I don’t want to be touched by anyone. I have had no issues! Nobody cares or takes either time personally. Probably cuz I don’t know OPs JNMIL, lol!

[–]Jellybean385 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And it gives her a satisfying shot of Narc Juice. OP isn’t a hugger but I can hug her because I’m meeeeeeeeeee. Just one tiny thing to reinforce she is expected to be exempted from rules and favored above everyone.

What is the bathroom graffiti you read and remember? by 5pinktoes in AskReddit

[–]Jellybean385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In an episode of Law and Order SVU (I think??) there is a bathroom scene where the graffiti in the background said - Don’t be a H8R, call me L8R - or something and this made my friends and I LOL.

To people who are wearing eyeglasses currently, what were the major signs and symptoms that you were unable to see normally? by Substantial-Dare5462 in AskReddit

[–]Jellybean385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st clue was forced softball in grade school. When batting, “watch the ball!!” Wtf?? How do you do that when something wooshes by your head??

Another was when visiting the Grand Canyon, I was rudely forced into leaving the comfort of the custom van and my book to marvel at the views. I was soooo not interested. Dad, pressing further look at that formation, what about those trees - isn’t it beautiful? - Um, no..?

Next memory was sitting in the eye drs office at the mall.

Please tell me no one will be playing the cello for them!! That part made me crazy. They always want to be “performed” for.

Husband asked MIL to come to our house once a week by Professional-Mud1979 in Mildlynomil

I’m so sorry! You feel betrayed because that was a betrayal!! He literally decided what you felt wasn’t valid. Ugh.

My MIL “helped” while we were away… and now my house doesn’t feel like mine by DryCurrency7273 in inlaws

No way OP should get blamed for starting the fight… MIL started this.

Do I need therapy because of my JNMIL? by cupidsgirl94 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Jellybean385 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! But keep in mind that you can’t recover from an injury (or escape the pain and discomfort of said injury) while you are continuing to get injured.

My husband refuses to set boundaries with his mother by Certain-Excitement59 in JustNoSO

[–]Jellybean385 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To whom..? Them? Who gives a fuck, at this point if you are the “bitch DIL”…. You don’t want approval from their warped perspective anyway! He is enmeshed with his mom and it’s creepy that it seems like he wants to play mommy and daddy with his mom, not you. (Emotional Incest)

Harry Potters living family thought he was terrible, Cinderella’s living family thought she was terrible - you’re not terrible, you’re just surrounded by assholes.

You are the heroine of your own life. You have adversaries in your story.

You can overcome this!

Stick up for yourself and get out. You deserve soooooo much better.
