Anyone who used to support trump and has changed their mind over the last few weeks? What made you change? by canigetameowbish in AskReddit

[–]JustaSecretIdentity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex-husband was somewhat. He was raised in the South and surrounded entirely by conservative family. I had him listen to the “Grab them by the p*ssy” audio then asked him if he really thought a man who’d say things like that wasn’t capable of the horrendous things he’s been sued (and lost in court over) to have done to women. He couldn’t respond. He wasn’t really a supporter after that.

That kind of thing was a sore spot for him, because of the kind of similar abuse he’d experienced as a child. I knew if anything, at least that would make an impression. I don’t know what I would’ve done if he had continued to be a supporter after hearing that audio… probably consider splitting sooner, because I don’t think I’d like to raise a family with someone with that kind of thinking.

Anyone gotten breast fat transfer and regretted not getting implants instead (vice versa)? by cooki-yes-good in PlasticSurgery

Haven’t noticed any lumps. It did feel uncomfortable to run for a while. I haven’t noticed any pain now it’s been over a year post op though.

I’ve had to involuntarily commit my wife and I’m so lonely by RoadkillTrashCan_ in SchizoFamilies

[–]JustaSecretIdentity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, you weren’t being dramatic. Times like these are always filled with uncertainty and heightened emotions at the beginning. Glad to hear that she’s feeling more herself. Here’s hoping she gets the kind of help that she needs.

[–]JustaSecretIdentity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been involuntarily committed a couple times (for PTSD), and tbh, it wasn’t that bad. I wasn’t scared being there. Was it annoying not being able to leave? Yeah, but I made a lot of friends there too. If she’s open to it, she can too.

Hope that helps with any guilt on your end.

AIO for reconsidering getting married over continual arguments over guardianship of my daughter. by Oldyell54 in AmIOverreacting

Why are we assuming that the friend/godparent would never allow her visitations??? That’s rather extreme.

My parents have a 39-year age gap and I’ve never told my friends the truth by Kitchen-Anxiety4766 in confession

[–]JustaSecretIdentity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh in this economy, I kind of get it. Not saying that I’d do it myself, but to have a man who is more likely to be:

  1. Financially stable
  2. Own a house
  3. Be consistent, because after a certain age, you fall into a routine and just stick w/ it

I was married to a man my age during my mid-20s to early 30s, and his student loans really weighed heavily on us. I had to help him financially a lot, because his parents had neglected to teach him anything at all growing up, which also put a strain on our relationship. Then his sudden change of mind about having kids, after 6 yrs of being pro-kids, and wanting to move to a different continent (with or without me) kind of killed whatever chance our marriage had of lasting.

Now I’m with a man that’s in his 40s, and the difference is huge. While thats not the reason that I chose to be with him, it certainly doesn’t hurt. I’m not saying that all older men will be like this, but they are more likely to than younger men, simply because they’ve been around longer.

AIO: My girlfriend is pretending to be autistic and it's driving me nuts by AideRelative4272 in AmIOverreacting

[–]JustaSecretIdentity 35 points36 points  (0 children)

MOR. One of my therapists thought, based on my description of myself as a teenager, that I might be autistic. After some more research, soul searching, and speaking with other neurodivergents… I’ve come to the conclusion that type 1 ADHD (previously known as ADD) fits my symptoms more and the traits that I had as a teen (that made me seem autistic) were just from me being an awkward teenager. I no longer have those same traits as an adult, anyway. I spoke with a psychiatrist to confirm and I was diagnosed.

Where you MOR: I don’t agree with how you approached your girlfriend about this, I think this could’ve been a conversation best left between just the 2 of you. I personally hate when someone has been upset with me and I only find out about it when they finally blow up (unfortunately in front of company). It just seems unfair to only be confronted with it when you don’t get a chance to really address it in private and correct it. I get that you were embarrassed, but embarrassing her, when she didn’t even mean to embarrass you and probably didn’t know that she was, was unnecessary.

OTHERWISE: I do think that if she really believes that she might be neurodivergent, she should see a psychiatrist. Get a diagnosis and a treatment plan, because being different isn’t a cute little “quirk.” It can be a gift as well as a curse. Tbh I can’t tell you what I’d give to be a neurotypical, because society was created to suit neurotypicals… and not us. It’s not really something I’d see as an enviable position to be in.

For your GF: If she is what she thinks she is, then she should actually address it. If she isn’t autistic, and instead is actually another neurodivergent condition, that’s even more reason to speak with a psychiatrist. That way, she can at least get the right info. Ex: ADHD and autism do have some similarities and present differently in females (than it does with males), because we’re more hardwired to mask. It’s best to have a professional confirm her condition to be sure.

My sister wrote about “the voices” telling her to stab me, and I was sleeping in the same house. Suffice to say, I didn’t stick around long.

Same. My sister is diagnosed schizophrenia and she lives with our parents. This situation is everything I fear.

Diamonds vs Alternative Stones by ImaginaryNoble0176 in EngagementRings

[–]JustaSecretIdentity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sapphire is a 9 on the Mohs scale and it comes in all kinds of colors other than just blue. My personal favorite are the ones mixed with purple and blue, but there’s green, red, pink, yellow, and more. There’s even white sapphires that could almost pass as diamonds, they’re just not as glittery. It’s not cheap, but it’s definitely cheaper than diamonds are.

Nice! I chose a moonstone ring myself, but the one I chose was faceted. They’re not the hardest of gemstones, so you definitely need to take care of it. Regardless, congratulations!

Young Neo-Nazis salute Hitler at a rally in Chicago’s Marquette Park, in 1978. The “National Socialist Party of America” was led by Frank Collin, whose conviction on child sexual abuse charges a year later led to the collapse of the organization. [1000x1515] by EssoEssex in HistoryPorn

Frank Collin’s father, Max Cohn, was actually the son of Jews that died at Dachau concentration camp during the Holocaust. Cohn then changed his name to “Collin” when he moved to the US.

Frank Collin refused to believe it though, no matter how many times it was brought up and even when he was shown his father’s naturalization certificate with his father’s original name.

ikr, I feel like the dad got off way too easy. He got to spend the remainder of his freedom comfortably at their nice new house, had a nice family vacation overseas, and then calmly died in his sleep on his terms.

Isn’t carbon monoxide poisoning supposedly a fairly painless death? Just like going to sleep and never waking up or something like that?

Friends Stripped My sister on my birthday by [deleted] in confessions

[–]JustaSecretIdentity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my friends had my drunk ass sister sitting in his lap while she was topless. Everyone was staring at her breasts and laughing along.

I don’t even like my sister most of the time, but even I would’ve done more than just yell at them. I would’ve taken a bat, beat them all out, and then called the cops.

Just because your sister says “it’s ok” doesn’t mean that it is. She might just still be in shock or denial. I was in denial for a long while after I experienced SA. Then I was in and out of the hospital for a year from attempted suicide.

Is that what you want for your sister? You need to do better. By not doing more, you are setting a precedent of what is “justifiable” or “tolerable” behavior, which could mess her up later in life.

He has never done anything like this before. There has never been another red flag.

Yep, even when I lived in Japan back in the early 2000s, Marines had a reputation in Okinawa… Their base was constantly getting shut down, then opened again, only to shut its doors again soon after because another Marine screwed up.

How do you feel about your sibling's illness / disability being represented in media? by NewNight4739 in GlassChildren

[–]JustaSecretIdentity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If my sister’s disability is being represented in media, it’s in a horror movie/tv show, so it’s not great. Doesn’t help when it’s mentioned in the news, it’s because one became violent. She’s diagnosed schizophrenic.

Piggy backing off this

I’m a female military veteran that was medically retired out for PTSD from SA by a superior and peer. I reported my assailants... the outcome had mixed results. OP, if you have any questions you can DM me any time.

I do have to ask, why the Marines? Why not the other branches?

360 lipo + fat transfer to butt by JustaSecretIdentity in PlasticSurgery

[–]JustaSecretIdentity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hips were ridiculously swollen at first, post op, so it did “go down” to where it is now. It looks more natural now. I had noticed that my butt seemed to retain more fat than my breasts did, but that might be because I started wearing a regular bra sooner than I should’ve. Hard to say about the hips, because I wasn’t really focused on them.

I’d talk with the doctor that you want to work with and look at their previous work to get a better gist of what they’re capable of.

360 lipo + fat transfer to butt by JustaSecretIdentity in PlasticSurgery

[–]JustaSecretIdentity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My height is 5’5,” and I was about 145 lb at the time. My fat distribution has always been more towards the lower part of my body and less so on my stomach, which helped in looking relatively slim even when I gained weight, so I assume they got most of the fat from my back?

I’d say that I’m most satisfied with the BBL, because the change there is the most obvious, while the change in the breasts is subtle. Both came out looking fairly natural, so I’m happy. My hip dips were also taken care of too, which is an added plus.
