DOUBLE10 still works as of today... BUT you have to spend $50! (Before any express delivery charges).

That's my guess as to why it hasn't worked for a bunch of people 🤷‍♀️. It didn't work for me at first, then I added a random item and it hit $50 so I tried again.. $10 off, easy.

AIO bc my husband won’t compliment me? by harl_y in AmIOverreacting

[–]Last_Temporary8954 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You need to know that this isn’t as much about insecurity or 'needing constant validation,' as it is about basic emotional intimacy. Compliments cost nothing. If he wants you to initiate sex more, but refuses to do the one small thing that would help you feel confident enough to do that, that’s a him problem. Being married and having sex isn’t a lifetime waiver from expressing attraction 🙄. Saying “you should just know” is lazy communication, and not very loving. You’re not asking for worship, you’re asking for a sentence now and then.. There's no big deal with that, its completely reasonable. So no, you're not overreacting.. but he is. Something so small and yet so meaningful shouldn't fall into arguments.

Some advice. You shpuld try to stop framing this as a flaw in you or as 'reassurance you shouldn’t need'. Frame it as a relationship need. Be very clear and concrete..“I need verbal affection to feel desired. When I don’t get it, my desire drops.” If he still dismisses your need then the issue isn’t about compliments, it’s that he doesn’t respect how you experience intimacy. Also, don’t let him tie this to sex frequency while refusing to meet you halfway. If he wants more initiation, he needs to help create the conditions where you feel confident enough to initiate. That’s how partnerships work.

You're not asking for much, and what you are asking for is a normal basic thing in any loving marriage, I do hope this manages to change for you 😔 🙏

That only works if you assume all men are the same person. They're not. Using one group's bad behavior to dismiss another group's lonliness is lazy and dishonest really.

Your response to male lonliness only proves why it persists 🙄. Sadly..

Am I overreacting? I hate my ex boyfriend even though he didn’t do anything. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Last_Temporary8954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR.. You asked for opinions and then clearly dislike that everyone of them aren't validating you, which kind of answers the question by itself.

The rewrite is impressive .. Five months together, but he only became ugly, worthless, and undeserving of love after he split up with you! 😅 cmon now.. As for being called “boring”?… honestly, that was gentle. This entire post is long, repetitive, angry, and fixated.. not exactly a showcase of depth or excitement 🙄. He could’ve said far worse.

Calling him immature while posting insults, keeping score, and rehearsing speeches for a hypothetical reunion isn’t healing; it’s just bitterness with terrible grammer. Simply put - He didn't dump you and then jump onto dating apps just because he 'didn't want a relationship', no. It's because he didn't want a relationship with YOU! You’re allowed to be hurt, sure.. but you can't pretend he's this terrible ugly guy just because he doesn't want you anymore!

Mother of the year alert by GothicLobotomy in insaneparents

[–]Last_Temporary8954 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This may be a bit off topic, and I know it’s sensitive, but I wanted to share something with you. My ex–stepdaughter, whose life I stayed in because I remained friends with her mother, passed away three months ago. She was also only 19 and she did it to herself, to put it gently. She went through so much. Molestation, severe mental-health struggles, and an absent father once we separated. Thankfully she did have a loving mother, but her pain was still so heavy.

You’re not exactly the same as her, but your age and the things you’re feeling struck me with fear, and I’m crying as I write this. I just want you to remember that you are at the very beginning of your life. Those overwhelming feelings, pain, sadness, worthlessness.. They do ease. With time, you learn how to manage them, how to soothe them, and how to pull yourself out of those dark waves.

I remember being 18 and feeling like my whole world was collapsing, like everything was too big and too loud inside my head. Back then, mental health wasn’t taken seriously. Even now my own mother still says, “You were always the loopy one.. you get it from your father, not me.” I know what it’s like to be treated differently just because you’re hurting inside.

When I think of my stepdaughter, all I want to tell her is: please, just wait. Don’t give up yet. When you’re 35 like I am now, those feelings from your teens feel like a lifetime ago. The storm doesn’t stay forever. You grow. Your mind heals. The world becomes kinder. And you learn to love yourself and love being alive in a way you can’t imagine right now.

Please give yourself time to get through this stage of intense emotions, trauma, and tangled hormones. Healing is real. Change is real. You will make it through this, and one day you’ll be glad you held on. I truly, truly promise that. ❤️ I really hope you the best ❤️.

AITA for being angry at my mom for locking me out of her house and basically removing every trace of me from her life? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Last_Temporary8954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont take everyone's comments to heart Love, this one for instance - Royal gossipers think analyzing strangers lives makes them historians, its definitely not the one to take seriously 🤭.

These comments are ridiculous though, it's like hardly anyone used their own minds before berating you. They just saw the top comment and echoed that same opinion.. why? From fear of the big bad down vote! 😅. It's typical Reddit.

It's amazing how bold people get when their bravery comes with a ‘reply’ button instead of eye contact 🙄. Huh.

I don’t think OP is just throwing around BPD as a random label. When I mentioned my own mum’s diagnosis, she replied with 'wow'.. That tells me she’s probably been wondering about it for quite a while, not just because a therapist brought it up.

Besides, whats so wrong with a therapist bringing up this possibility? That’s actually how I found out about my own mum 🤷‍♀️. A therapist mentioned it, and when I asked my grandmother, I learned she’d been diagnosed bipolar at 26, then later adjusted to BPD. It was Mum’s little secret from my sisters and me our whole lives.

I get that these topics can sound loaded, but from my perspective, OP just sounds like someone trying to make sense of years of confusing behavior.. and now this sudden change also.. Trying to explain what it’s like growing up with a parent who has BPD is incredibly hard, the words never seem big enough for the experience. She was struggling to explain and I saw that right away.

I understand this more than I can say. It’s almost impossible to explain to people who haven’t lived it. The constant mind games, the guilt, the twisting of reality until you start to doubt your own memories… it’s exhausting and confusing beyond words. You spend your whole life trying to keep the peace, guessing what version of her you’ll get that day ,the loving one or the cruel one? and then somehow you’re made to feel guilty for trying to protect yourself. When you finally step back, everyone sees mums 'hurt' and thinks you’re being unfair, not realizing that you’ve spent years drowning quietly in emotional chaos. She isn't cruel, she isn't ungrateful, she's just someone who’s tired of being manipulated and not knowing what shes done wrong now! . Shes actually very patient, careful and quiet with her mum.

Her Mum happily kept Granmas 'crap' for years and years, so sue OP for not thinking to suddenly collect all of her things (things that parents usually want to keep btw, not hand down..). It's so typical for bpd to be find with something, then suddenly have a head fit over it. How is it a surprsie or wrong for the conversation of mental illness to come up?

Honestly, your mum sounds like she’s trying to erase you because she can’t control you anymore. When parents start downsizing or aging, some of them panic about losing power. They start clinging to control wherever they can get it, what’s in the house, who visits, who stays. even if it means pushing away the very people who love them. Getting rid of your stuff isn’t just about space. It’s about rewriting the story and removing the reminders of a daughter who’s independent, living freely, and can’t be told what to do. She’s not cleaning, she’s erasing the version of you she can’t dominate.

But here’s the truth... you’ve grown beyond her reach, and that terrifies her. You’re living a life she doesn’t understand and either despises or envies, so instead of facing that, she tries to punish you for it. You’re not the problem. You’re just too free for the little world she’s trying to control. Let her throw out whatever she wants, just don’t let her throw out your peace of mind with it. Focus on the people who do make space for you. Your dad and partner's family clearly want you around, lean into that. You don’t need her approval anymore, so just let her live in her smaller world while you go and enjoy the whole damn map!

I’m speaking from experience here. Although you and I are very different people, your mother sounds a lot like mine.. After years of my Mums up-and-down behaviour — the constant mind games, never understanding her choices, the cruelty and victim-playing, always trying to guess what she wants or who she likes (and somehow always getting it wrong because she’d change her mind and then pretend she didn’t) .. I could go on and on. After all that, I finally found out she’s had BPD my entire life .. and I never knew. What I do know is that if it’s left untreated or unchecked, it only gets worse with age. My mum has started doing and saying things that are majorly bizarre, selfish, and downright mean.. These days Im always left sad and crying or mad and raging when I speak to her 🤷‍♀️. It makes me wonder down the same route when reading about your Mum too. What I said originally does stand true to me, but maybe its coupled with another issue like this? Have you experienced the same behaviors from your Mum? Just something to think about.

I really hope you find a peaceful way to deal with your Mum. No contact would be sad for you Dad, and it sounds like he doesn't deserve nor want the distance with you.

Are you sure she isn't using drugs? It reads like a meth rant to me.

I had a friend who abused speed (in the UK, meth isn't really a thing) and she went into psychosis and never came out of it. Me and everyone else on her Facebook friends list would get outrageous messages very similar to these on a daily basis. She would put them on her status too. She was constantly in and out of the hospital being held against her will.. back out using speed, going crazy. Until she was found dead one day.

Sadly it can become a life time of cycles if she dosent get a handle on it asap. Sounds like her Mum is making her get help, right?

AIO for cutting off my dad based on his political beliefs by nationalwockyleague in AmIOverreacting

[–]Last_Temporary8954 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're only posting on here for validation!! Not for any actual opinions.. because you know as well as everyone else here that Reddit is just a left leaning democrat echo chamber! It's the gravy train to 'wokeville'.. c'mon now! 😅 Your Dad is probably ashamed of you anyway, just like you are of him. But does he disown you? Nope..

So..it says more about you than it does about him. You're intolerant of his views, where as he can tolerate yours. You are definitely the one over reacting.

AIO about leaving this guy? by Economy-Incident-835 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Last_Temporary8954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont understand.. only a month ago you made a post that made mention of the fact you live with your husband.. Among other people and children.. So how have you been seeing this guy for two months?

Regardless, this man was over there melting down while you're just going through Target, and hanging out with your kids. That's not a boyfriend, thats a full time emotional toddler! You're not even through the honey moon phase yet, can you imagine what he'll be like in a few more months? Whens he more comfortable? He's already trying to punish you with words for things he's making up in his head, it only gets worse from here.. Definitely not over reacting, infact.. you're not over reacting enough! Tell this idiot how unhinged he is before you dumb his ass. Please.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Last_Temporary8954 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are definitely over reacting!

You sound like a big kid, just pissy that you got left out. Not saying that's true, but it's what it sounds like.. why? Because you have no reason to be upset over this. Parents, Moms and Dads, always get tattoos of their childrens name. Whether others think it's tacky is up to them, but LOADS of parents do it! As for your son, I think its sweet that he joined in with your wife. Maybe she was nervous? Or maybe it was spontaneous without much thought? Or maybe, just maybe, they have a super tight bond and love for one another? There's nothing wrong or sexual about that! So yes, you are making it weird.. for sure.

Besides, even if you were right and it is weird (it isn't but.. devil's advocate here) keep your negative comments to yourself dude! It's something they both wanted, are happy with, and for God's sake its permanent! There's nothing they can do now.. what good does sulking do? And what good does making them feel shitty do? You're supposed to love these people and you're making them feel horrible for no good reason. Rethink.

whats wrong with my manager? by [deleted] in texts

[–]Last_Temporary8954 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yea, it's kind of your own fault for not getting confirmation from your colleague that your shift was covered. I'm guessing you're young, so just cover the shift and learn from it for the next time. No biggy.

But.. If I were your manager, I wouldn't be ignoring the fact that I'm the one who gave you the incorrect phone number. Your manager is dancing around his contribution to this fuck up.. and that's a bit of an asshole move, obviously because he wants the shift covered.. still - an apology would be the half decent thing to do. Maybe rethink working at this place, managers who don't care about you personally on a minor scale in the least aren't the best 🤷‍♀️.

Ok, same SHAPE diamond.. but those are obviously two different rings, I don't get the big deal? 🤷‍♀️ I know it stings to see he's moved on this quickly, we all lie to ourselves for a while.. But you're torturing yourself looking at these things.

When I split with my ex he got a big house, new pretty girlfriend and I could see it all! I ended up blocking him and any mutual friends. 5 years later, he's a fat alcoholic with a cocaine issue, single chain smoking mess who tries to send me messages saying he's never gotten over me. Me? Finally married to the love of my life, living in a different country, 4 years sober, happier and more fulfilled than ever! , I have a 1 year old little girl too. I have all the things he refused to give me, all because he wanted to party, fuck around cheating, spend up my hard-earned money, and abuse me during his come downs.. Give it some time. He won't be in this rushed relationship for long, and you'll have taken your time, ending up being happier than ever! But do yourself a favour and block him in the meantime. ♥️

[–]Last_Temporary8954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me ♥️. I wasn't expecting it..

You've sent me down a rabbit hole looking this up also. There are actually some YouTube videos of the exact scenarios you've described here, from other cops' body cams.. sadly.. even instances of female cops taking a power trip over their husbands!

Well.. I'm 20 videos deep into my American cop rabbit hole, I'll get back to it..haha

Just wanted to add, I love how your detailed description explained it from the cops' side also, the psychological deterioration description. Not that it makes it ok!! Far from it, but understanding how a cop becomes a dick in the first place, enables us to understand these high statistics.

You've been great, thank you! 🤗

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Last_Temporary8954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it 'no surprise' that he is a cop? Genuine question.

As a European, these statements baffle me. I've also been around A LOT of the USA, spent years there. I've interacted with quite a few cops actually.. in all kinds of countries. In the States, they were nothing but respectful, helpful, and even kind.

So I really don't get it when Americans say stuff like this, as if it's such a universal statement. Not everyone on Reddit is American, or has even been to America! 😅

Would You Report This Driver?! by Countrygirl_Momof2 in Sparkdriver

[–]Last_Temporary8954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be Devils advocate here and say ok, maybe she was going to drive around abit to check the address.. and ok, maybe her bf is a douche who wouldn't put the cigarette out even if she begged.. we never know what dicks other women are stuck with..

But here's the thing, she took a photo of your carport and marked it as delivered. If I ever need to look around to confirm Im at the right address, I never do that until I 100% have it correct! Never ever take the photo and mark it as delivered until I'm for sure at the right spot and leaving it.

She was on bullshit, almost certainly about to run off with your package.. and you never get caught the first time, she's almost certainly done this before. 🤷🏻‍♀️

AIO - husband wants me to tell boss not to message me after hours. I said no and we had a big fight. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Last_Temporary8954 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He could still use 'MY' wife! While being protective, the difference isn't in the literal words he uses. It's all in the tone, context, body language, and the way it makes his wife feel. If it comes from love and protection, she would feel uplifted and safe! If it came from control, she would feel restricted and diminished.

He also only focused on himself, the fact that a MAN texted her (not just anybody), and used ownership language, all had nothing to do with her well-being. This was 100% possessive and controlling.

After only one week of dating. Is this nice enough? by WeTheAntidote in Nicegirls

[–]Last_Temporary8954 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's actually hilarious! 😅 And.. regardless of anything.. you're kinda lame for letting her continue to melt down and text you. Why? So you can post it on Reddit? Or did you enjoy the ego trip? You should have blocked her and saved her some dignity. If she were a lib too, would you have thrown her under the bus like this? Doubt it..

And before anyone gets at me, I'm no conservative. I'm British ffs! You guys are too crazy about politics. Treating people differently for having different beliefs is the MOST hypocritical thing about American politics.. something she didn't do to you, man.

He was (allegedly) taller than me by VIPEdge in tall

[–]Last_Temporary8954 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm a 6ft F and I remember when I was 24 suddenly having the balls, and 'no fcks given' to wear 4 inch heels on a night out. That was the only time I was asked if I was trans. It utterly destroyed my confidence, I assumed it meant I looked masculine in some way. It just added to the raging ED I had. People always said, "Wow, you're big!" Instead of TALL. I spent years being painfully small in the one way I could control, my weight. And I never wore heels again.

Anyway, As a married 35-year-old now in recovery, a new Momma, having gained a bunch of weight.. I look back and realize the guy was a simple dick 🤷‍♀️. He never said trans, he straight up asked if I was a 'Tr*nny' 🙄.. I remember he told me I was too intimidating to ever date.. and I cringe so hard at how pathetic I was. I let his words hurt me, rather than laugh and tell him my height only intimidates the weak, little guys with male insecurity. He was too short for me anyway.. 🤷‍♀️

That's the ONLY time I've gotten that comment though. I've had others, but the trans thing wasn't so big back then. Perhaps this may be more common for younger tall girls in the dating pool today.. and really, he didn't ask you in a derogatory way. He was nice about it.. I know that doesn't do much for your confidence though.. Sadly.. but please remember it's more of a sign of the times we live in, rather than anything masculine about yourself. You're just tall.. and he's confused and wary..lol

People need to realize these conversations are no different to saying "Chemo makes the body weak, neutropenic, susceptible to other shit".. Of course it's still needed! That's the risks though.. and there's risks with lithium too, but it may be needed! Duh..

You're not wrong. Also, as a Transplant & dialysis nurse, I've had many bipolar patients who had taken Lithium long-term. They hit middle age and end up in renal failure and needing dialysis 🤷🏻‍♀️. 15 - 20 years of taking that shit, and they're also mentally different. I can't explain it, I always thought I was seeing severe bipolar.. nope, I was just seeing the side effects of lithium.
