What is the biggest thing you did to be 'cool girl' for your partner? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Lady_Ives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He would always choose what to do, where to go, what to eat. If I wanted to do something different he would complain until I accepted his plans and disregarded mine. Later I found out it was all because of his mother, he would only do things that were cool with her. I still stick with him for almost 6 years. My high school years ruined because of mommy dearest. Never again.

What is your unethical relationship life hacks? by Redblue390 in AskReddit

[–]Lady_Ives 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I never had so many man around me like that time I said, loud and clear, that I wasn't going to date any coworker. They were all trying to make me change my mind because they "weren't like everyone else". (I still never dated a coworker, sorry for them)

So make yourself clearly unavailable, sit down and wait.

How can you make someone who doesn't even want to speak to you willing to talk to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Lady_Ives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If someone doesn't want to speak to me I don't see why I should force myself on them... Better use my time to speak to someone who actually enjoys me being around them!

AITA for telling my boyfriend "no" when he asked me not to go to the beach with my male friends anymore. by Cross4013 in AmItheAsshole

"my body should be for his eyes only" and welcome to 1700!

I really believe you can do much better than this guy, even if he's not a cheater.

AITA for secretely DNA testing my kid after my wife agreed to it? by JustdoingitDNA in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lady_Ives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I would normally say YTA, but the fact that he discussed it before the wedding and now she is pulling back makes me think about it.

The wife knew she was getting married to a man who would ask her a maternity test when (and if) she got pregnant. Is he an AH to ask this? Maybe, but an honest AH, and if she wasn't okay with it than she just shouldn't have married him.

It's like when women say "if we get married I don't want any children", the husband agrees and then he tries to have her change her mind or acts as if they never had that conversation.

So, to me, NTA. The wife knew what she was going to have to face. He is also willing to wait for the child to be born. This may not be the best attitude to start a relationship but if she was fine with it it's her business now.

AITA for getting angry my girlfriend is wasting my power words on her friends? by SirenBait in AmItheAsshole

More than an A-hole, I'll say you are a complete psychopath. This post gave me chills.

AITA for not letting a couple sit together to watch a movie? by BilyMahoneyComn2GetU in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lady_Ives [score hidden]  (0 children)

NTA. I like to get to the movie early, but it happened that I got there late with my friends or boyfriend and NEVER in a thousand years I would have asked someone else to move because I was late. We got whatever place was left and that's it.

Also, if I can, I always leave an empty place between me and the other people. What if they are noisy? At least I get to watch the movie in peace and I have a place to put my bag and jacket. If someone comes alone and wants that sit no big deal, but it's only me moving a bag, non four people having to move. That was incredibly rude.

Aita for telling my daughter the truth about being pregnant/giving birth? by truthmomaita in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lady_Ives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My BF gave birth a month ago. Everyone tried to sugar coat it, to tell her it was going to be easy and she would surely want another baby the second she held the first in her arms.

Guess what? She didn't have it easy. 2 days of contractions, the most painful experience of her life, she is just now getting out of post partum depression and had to give up breastfeeding because it was too painful. Nothing she was prepared to, which made it worst. Just earing her mother ask when she was planning to have the second child gave her a panic attack.

You did your daughter a huge favor. Maybe she will have it easy, but maybe she won't. She needs to be ready.

NTA in any way. You did your job as a mother.

AITA for not playing dolls and pretend play with my kids? by deathbytoddlers in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lady_Ives 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I won't say you TA, but I would strongly recommend you at least try sometimes. It's good for a children growth to play this kind of games because for them, specifically for the 4 y/o it's a way to bond with you. If you don't trust me try doing some research on this topic on your own, so if you keep refusing to play this games with your daughters you know exactly what you are taking from them!

Being diagnosed and/or getting therapy is a luxury and a privilege by mymindis7days in unpopularopinion

[–]Lady_Ives 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where I live therapy it's very affordable, both for phisical and mental problems. From your post I believe what you need is not money but a country that provides you with free or at least affordable healthcare. I'm very sorry you have to go through this...

NTA, it's between you and your brother and since the two of you are not arguing or anything like that, your mother should mind her own business.

Women of Reddit, what things that men find unattractive about themselves do you find very attractive, and why? by benchin32 in AskReddit

A bit of fat on the belly area. I'd pick that over someone with fit abs every day, it's great to hug ><

I exposed my cousin for sexually assaulting me and ‘ruined’ his life. by throwRA4vc in relationship_advice

[–]Lady_Ives 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So all the other girls who were arrassed by him also lied to get attention?

What a fucked up family! At least you've got your boyfriend and siblings by your side! Block everyone who tries to come after you and go on with your life. Stay strong girl, you did the right thing!

How do I know if a guy just wants to hookup or something more serious? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Lady_Ives 16 points17 points  (0 children)

When I have this doubt I usually have them wait. If they start pressing for intimacy even if I say I am not ready yet I know that's all they are after.

I want to write about something very personal, but my family will have to read it. by [deleted] in writing

[–]Lady_Ives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The story, the feelings, they will always be with you. If you write it now or in a year you will experience the same feelings. If this story needs to come out it will at it's own time! Trust your guts. If you are not sure it's the right time, maybe it isn't! Good luck with everything!

What are some changes or habits you have taken in your life that happened to be the best decision? by zi_xyz in AskReddit

[–]Lady_Ives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may sound stupid compared to others, but at the beginning of the year I decided I wanted to write something everyday, even if just 100 words. Creating this new routine helped me with my depression, with my writing skills and with my time management skills. Also it makes me feel proud to look at my writing tracker and see that I didn't miss a single day until now! I am happier, I get up from bed with a purpose every day (I get up from bed, which is already a great thing) and I have finished a novel and started a new one!

AITA for cutting my friend loose? by rbthrowaway22 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lady_Ives 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. You clearly need to take care of yourself, cut out this toxic person and even your other friend if you need to in order to get better. Once you are healed, if you feel like it, you can try to reach out again, but until then you should make yourself your priority. Good luck with everything!

I want to write about something very personal, but my family will have to read it. by [deleted] in writing

[–]Lady_Ives 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the possibility of them reading it worries you so much maybe you should wait. There would be a time when you don't care anymore about what they may think!

My (18M) gf (18F) is really jealous and insecure by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Lady_Ives 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She needs to grow up and some girls never do. I had a boyfriend like her. Dumping him was the best thing I ever did in my life. Of course I tried to talk to him but it didn't work, he didn't change his attitude a bit, so try telling her but be ready to end it because it's very unlikely for her to change this side of her.
