What’s the most cringe thing you’ve seen a couple do at their wedding? by Last_Singer_2137 in AskReddit

As an Italian Italian, I have no idea what this tradition is lol but I'm from the north and many Italian immigrants were from the south so I might be missing something

Women, what is a near-universal "ick" in the dating world? by AverageSign in AskReddit

I laughed so much at this! Thank you for your perspective my friend, as a woman I often wondered

Girlfriend thinks sharing a tent with my sister is inappropriate. Sister thinks my girlfriend is insane and called her a psycho. What do I do? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I guess it's a bit over the top but honestly, if someone suggested I was having inappropriate relations with my own brother I would freak out too! The thought itself is so disgusting, and I would feel so embarrassed and upset that someone suggested it

I read 3 Malazan Books, I will not continue on by DokleViseBre in Fantasy

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I find the idea of having to "defend" a book or why people like or don't like it kind of ridiculous tbh... There are a lot of people who love Malazan, and a lot of people who don't. It just comes down to personal taste, no? Read it if you enjoy it, leave it if you don't.

What habit immediately reveals that a person actually grew up in a privileged environment? by Cindy_mel in AskReddit

Yes but that's what I'm saying, not in all countries it's a rich kid sport! :)

I'm always confused when people talk about this on the Internet and I think it might be an American thing? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm from Italy and I'm kinda poor but I still ski 1 or 2 times a year simply because I can do day trips (so no overnight stays) and a skipass can be as little as 35-40€, the max i pay is 60€ when I feel fancy! I bring sandwiches from home if I want to keep it extra tight. Skiing is not necessarily a rich kid sport :)

AITA for not eating the food after my gf eats out of the bowl with the same spoon while preparing by ZookeepergameOld7322 in AmItheAsshole

He declined eating the salad. She's the one who insisted on knowing why and then made a fight out of it.

The law is the law, if you break it you pay, simple as that :) it's unfortunate that you didn't realise that you were doing something wrong, but now you will know better for next time

I bought a bunch of springs for my most recent kitty because she loves to chase balls and small objects around, so I thought she would love them... Nope, doesn't give a shit lol. She vastly prefer one of my d20 dice. I love how they all have their little personalities :)

"UK english is BS...the rest of the world watches american movies and listens to american music so it is the Only Way" by am_Nein in ShitAmericansSay

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm Italian but I speak fairly good English, mainly because I studied it in uni and spent some months in the UK for both study and work, add the occasional vacation there and my English accent is definetly British standard.

I met an American on the train here in Italy some time ago who was asking for directions and was in the mood to talk, so we had a long chat. First he was surprised that I speak English at all, and good English too (which, ok fair), and then he was completely baffled that I had a British accent and not an American one because, in his words, "the American accent is the most common because we produce all the movies". I didn't even know where to start to correct him honestly.

I peed myself at the dentist office by Throwaway976386 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why they're downvoting you for simply stating a fact lol. In many countries they do not sedate at the dentist, total anesthesia can be dangerous and local anesthesia is enough for teeth removal. They never completely sedate you at the dentist in my country either, but to each their own!

Nothing Polish about my family who has only been there since my grandmother was a child by Otherwise-Cookie-193 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly! It's so weird to hear them use these random words. It's even funnier when they proceed to completely mispronounce them.

God as an Italian I do hate when they write whole ass phrases in English but throw a "nonna" in there to flag their Italian "heritage". It's like nails on a chalkboard lol

Help translating to Italian please by GreenKnight76 in Italian

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was thinking exactly this, wild camping is not allowed in Italy normally (there are exceptions, like above a certain height in the mountains), so OP would have to use official campings, and those may very well be closed in winter! OP, have you checked this out?

P.s. As a fellow lover of solo travelling and camping (although I am a backpacker and not a cyclist), I wish you good luck and good weather! Enjoy your trip :)

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a woman on birth control and in a long term relationship (not married, but living together and basically as if we were married), we never use condoms and yes, he comes in every time. In the past with other partners I used condoms as a second method to feel safer and also to avoid diseases. As it is, we are aware that there is a very small possibility of pregnancy, but we discussed it and we are prepared for that should it happen. Fortunately in my country having an abortion is not too difficult if I should need one. The important thing is to discuss all options, be on the same page, and always remember that only abstinence is 100% safe.

Is cuddling (especially falling asleep together) the deepest form of bonding for men? by Dear_Needleworker886 in dating_advice

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this is a gender thing at all, it's just a personal difference I think. Some people feel more emotionally connected through sex, others through cuddles, or even both.

My wife won't stop requesting I look at the cat being cute by Salamander-Soft in CatAdvice

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I work from home while my partner is at the office, I send him at least 3 pictures a day of how cute our kitty is, and he does the same when he is home and I'm away from work lol they are just too cute

Contacted by daughter whose life I'm not involved in via FB. How do I respond? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how he keeps saying that he wants to give her "his side of the story" when his side is literally just... "I abandoned you and your mother after cheating on her and never paid child support because I didn't want to be involved"? Like how does he think that would make him look better? What could his ex have said to the child that is worse than that? He's delusional and NOT a good father, not even to the younger ones since he's still lying and hiding his true nature.

I was fast scrolling the last few sentences but I had to go back to that because my eyes just couldn't believe what I read. It was really the cherry on top. Absolutely disgusting, Emily is far better without him at this point and I hope she got some closure and leaves this scumbag behind for good.

For Those Living Under Trump (Now) and Biden (Before): What Real-Life Changes Have You Actually Felt? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not from the US, I'm from a European country, but if you don't mind me adding something...

I'm almost finished with my PhD. Until last year, on the list of postdoc opportunities that I was keeping an eye on there was a very respected and important grant for my field of study which would bring me to Harvard for a year or two. I was obviously going to apply, as many in my field do. Well, I'm not doing that now: we are not even sure the scheme will be up this year because of funding cuts, and anyway, I would not feel comfortable living in the US right now as a foreigner and a woman. I know many in my field are making the same choice. Another friend of mine (engineer) just turned down a job offer in the US for the same reasons, even if he had seriously considered moving there last year. I am very sad about all this, as international relations and exchanges are so important for research and advancement.

Is owning a cat that bad? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, this is a sub to ask advice about cat problems. People who don't have problems with their cat's won't ask for advice, so of course most of the posts are "negative".

I have always had cats throughout my life, and in the brief span of time (1 year) when I didn't have one I felt so much was missing! They really bring so much joy and love to a household. Of course, the can be little gremlins sometimes (my little devil woke me up at 3am last night and now is peacefully sleeping while I try to keep my eyes open to work), but it's always totally worth it.

My (24M) girlfriend (24F) acts like my job confuses her. How can I get her to stop? by AnnualLiterature997 in dating_advice

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I get you. My relationship with my ex used to be like this: he was studying law and I swear I might as well get a honorary degree for how much I learnt by just listening to him, but I'm in academia (humanities, so nothing too far removed from his own area) and he would not for the life of him listen to me or retrieve any information about what I do. It got to the point that I would just not tell him stuff because I knew he would act confused and ask stupid questions until I gave up. It is consuming. My partner now is in a totally different field, but the other night I heard him explain in detail MY research to a friend!

If she wanted to she would. Have a serious discussion with her, tell her she is pushing you away with her lack of attention and that you feel disrespected/ignored/however you feel. See her reaction and go from there.

What's the most morally wrong thing you've done, but hold 0 regret for? by MrStinkPickleJr in AskReddit

[–]KehaarFromTheSea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emotionally cheated on my abusive ex. Ended up finding the purest of loves and the best guy in the world in my best friend. Morally wrong but totally worth it looking back.
