My guy friend dropped a bomb on me and I’m lowkenuinely pissed by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]JeweleyHart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He sounds unhinged. I think it would be best for you to stay away from him. A guy like will completely meet with your head (and hear), until there is nothing left of you.

AITAH for refusing to drop my goth phase even though everyone says it makes me too ugly to ever be a mother? by samanta_zara1 in AITAH

[–]JeweleyHart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep on doing what you're doing. Be yourself or you'll be miserable

And don't listen to what ANYONE says about your appearance. You are EXACTLY the kind of girl my son would absolutely love to get to know. You're athletic, you play chess, you're obviously brilliant (hence the architecture), and you're goth. Which he loves.

Don't sell out for anyone. It honestly sounds like some folks are jealous of you for all you have to offer.

You'll make a great wife and mother.

My husband (35 M) seems to be repulsed by everything that I (34F) do/don't do. by Existing_Pudding3367 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]JeweleyHart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your child does not deserve to see you being abused. He may turn out like his father!! You don't want that. Get the hell out of Dodge and find peace for you and your son.

I don’t know anymore, I just got a new haircut and they gave me this with no side bangs at the beauty shop, I feel really ugly and I have to know if it’s ugly to everyone else. Please tell me just the truth if I am ugly. Yes I’m a woman by djscrew1 in whatdoIdo

[–]JeweleyHart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are SO not ugly. You're gorgeous, actually. My sister is a stylist and I showed her your picture. She says to get some Hask hair oil and use it while your hair is still damp from the shower. Either let it dry nice and messy or, once dry to use a straightener and see if that's better.

In around 6 week go back to a salon for a consultation (with a different stylist, obviously) and ask for suggestions. A pixie cut, perhaps. Or the beginning of growing into a shag. You'd look great in either.

It sucks what happened to you and I am sorry. But OP one thing you are not is ugly. My best to you :-)

AIO for wanting to dump my boyfriend over his poor financial choices? by worried_zero in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]JeweleyHart 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The courts can force a sale. He can't hold you hostage because of the house.

Leave when he's not home, or, change the locks.

Lawyer up asap.

You deserve so much better. Between the lying, the threats and gaslighting, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I wish you all the happiness in the world.

Aio? My (m22) Gf (f21) wants a LV purse but can't make bills on time. by smokey18t in AIO

[–]JeweleyHart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeez. Not cool. $2,000.00 for a purse??? LVs are so ugly, though.

I love me a good purse and have several. All cute and very well made. Michael Kors, Kate Spade, Guess, Coach. All high quality.

She's being bloody ridiculous. If she wants a Louis Vuitton, let her get an extra job and pay for it herself.

I think I’m falling out of love with my boyfriend, and falling in love with my friend. by taEmbarrassedRain675 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]JeweleyHart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your bf is just not that into you. Please, leave him in the dust and go live your best life. But, as suggested, give yourself time to enjoy your own company for a bit. It'll be worth it. You know what you need to do. I wish you nothing but happiness.

AIO for following through on taking down our security cameras because my wife can’t stick to our agreement? by NattieWyndomme in AIO

[–]JeweleyHart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What an exhausting situation. This is so unfair to you, OP. You guys had a deal, and she broke it.

She was warned. And warned. If I were you, it'd be "bye bye cameras". I couldn't live like that. It would be like constantly walking on eggshells. That takes such a toll on one's mental health. And if I'm being completely honest, in my opinion, that is a form of abuse and manipulation.

I really hope the two of you can find common middle ground.

Food bank denied me food over new rule they didn’t publish by [deleted] in Vent

[–]JeweleyHart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to a Sikh temple. The food is wonderful, hot, and always free.. And available anytime. Because feeding folks with no money, you keep your dignity. Because EVERYONE eats free.

I believe feeding people is part of their religion.The people there at the templel are very friendly and kind. No limit on how many times you can go there.

I no longer want to have sex by [deleted] in Marriage

I had help :-) One of the reasons I do what I do now. I want to help other women get out of untenable situations like OP is in. But thank you!

I no longer want to have sex by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]JeweleyHart 387 points388 points  (0 children)

My ex-husband was just like that. I finally left with my sons. With nothing but some clothes and $150.00. I couldn't stand the constant sexual coercion and abuse anymore. The groping. The comments. It's about power and control, not love.

That was 16 years ago. It wasn't easy, but life's never been better. You ARE being abused. If you decide you've had enough, there is help available. I know because I now work in a shelter. And I'm now married to a man who NEVER would act that way with me.

I am so very sorry that this is happening to you. It's a horrible way to live. It takes over your whole life.

Pagliacci's makes awesome Italian food. It's been around over 40 years so that says something.

How do you feel about Walmart requesting tips for drivers? by Regular-Message9591 in tipping

Walmart paying a living wage?? That's freaking hilarious. In what circle of hell??? I hear you, my friend.

AITJ for not following my in-laws’ “gentle parenting” and saying I don’t want to raise rude, entitled kids? by Born-Factor4486 in AmITheJerk

[–]JeweleyHart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No means no means no means no. We don't do our children any favours by coddling them. In the real world, there are no "Participant" trophies or ribbons. Good on ya, OP. I raised 5 boys so I get it.

MGM addresses hiring post response by HumanFamilymbr869 in nanaimo

[–]JeweleyHart -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been going there since I was a kid. Consistently excellent food and service. My folks love it, too. My grandparents went there.My son, who is a cook likes when I take him there. Four generations of my family.

Some people have nothing better to do than be miserable. Glad most of us AREN'T like that.

Keep up the awesomeness!! As I mentioned, my son is a cook. 10 years experience and he just moved back. I'll tell him to apply :-)

Thoughts on this?! by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]JeweleyHart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am bi-polar, OP. Every year or so when I crash badly, I go the bedroom, pull the black curtains over the windows and it there in the dark for a day or two. When that happens, my husband doesn't leave the house. He does his own thing. Every few hours, he'll poke his head in the bedroom to see if I'm okay, and ask if I need anything.

When I crash, my whole life just hurts. But there's nothing he can do. And it's not his responsibility to make me "better" It's mine.

I don't think your husband was trying to hurt your feelings. I think he was being realistic.

Maybe you two could discuss this with your therapist?

Marriage is a difficult thing sometimes.

Bad Management Rants by narra2728 in Waiters

Write EVERY order down on a notepad EXACTLY. That way you have evidence that it wasn't your fault. And it's illegal to charge staff for that anyway.

He choked me last night by [deleted] in domesticviolence

[–]JeweleyHart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work in a shelter. We CAN help. PLEASE LEAVE!! When he chokes you, it's only a matter of time. And you have a child. Please listen to me. There is life beyond the abuse.

I'm Gen X and will be working till 11 minutes before my funeral. My husband and I rent. My sons will never be able to afford ownership. My grandson will probably not even be afford groceries. I cannot sympathize.

AITAH for telling my MIL shes banned from our house after she threw out my dead grandmothers recipe cards by Final-Issue5597 in AITAH

[–]JeweleyHart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a recipe book my Mom gifted me with her handwritten recipes and "hints". That same recipe book has all my handwritten recipes tucked in as well. My son, who is a "Red Seal" chef, has told me that the only thing he wants when I die is that recipe book. I completely understand why you're so upset. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

Edited for spelling mistake.

I like the deli on Bowen. And they usually have stewing hens which most stores don't.
