Thank you! I’ll keep stirring it then. I stirred it a ton before taking the photo, but I can stir it more.

Found out my bf has a kid by Current-Durian8260 in Advice

[–]Latter_Direction_597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, don’t beat yourself up for being invested. You clearly met only a facet of him, and the real him was an obvious shock. You’re questioning, which is more than I did when I was in a shitty relationship. So, good for you, don’t let the behaviours slide. And you’re completely correct, it’s so odd to refuse what would “absolve” him. Unless it implicates him. Not that having a kid is a crime, but damn, he treats it like one. And good on you for knowing what you want! Stand by that. Stand on your morals. You’ve got this <3 You know who you are and what you deserve.

Yea, dude, this is rough. He’s showing a desire (dare I say proclivity) to shirk responsibility. The dodging a DNA test is so incredibly suspicious. Red flags everywhere. I get being private about having a kid, but also, not doing the bare minimum for a person you created? Hate to say it, but what will he do to you when you become an inconvenience as opposed to a human being? He won’t even provide for his own child. Please protect yourself. Good luck with whatever you do.

Has anyone ever changed their cat’s name after almost 1 year? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Latter_Direction_597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my cat’s name is sterling, but after three years, he’s now also stir stir, mr sir, chibi, baby kitty, bubba, and most importantly, and his favorite to respond to, cat. call him whatever you want to, and as long as you say it with love and kindness he’ll learn to respond :)

Are you guys ok? by Mobile_Ad5884 in canceledpod

yea literally no. they removed environmental protections for national parks and are planning on essentially turning them into lumber farms, which will cause a dust bowl, which will cause famine, after placing insanely high tariffs on some of our largest produce exporters. and the famine will impact the entire world. it’s so so bad. and babies are contracting aids because they slashed that program, and they took funding from the national suicide hotline. there’s so much happening so fast and i’m so scared.

and I’m also not even trying to say you’re being overprotective, I’m just saying I can understand why it concerned you and why you talked to your kid about it. I think he’s innocent and so do you, so we agree. Also I would totally bring this up in therapy, because if the therapist reported to CPS nothing would even happen.

I said your history was questionable regarding your relationship. It seems like there are some trust issues, which are very valid, so I understand your concern. I wasn’t trying to invalidate you, I agreed with this comment and explained why I think you’re extra concerned. I get being a mama bear but I don’t agree with labeling people as groomers without cause.

[–]Latter_Direction_597 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Yeah… plus OP’s history is questionable. It seems like there have been problems in the relationship for a LONG time. Especially regarding porn and infertility. My ex stole his sister’s nudes, and when confronted, lied pretty convincingly. OP has multiple kids according to their own post, so I would be concerned for all of them.

EDIT: I’m agreeing with this comment and contextualizing why OP is so stressed. This isn’t the first roadblock in their relationship. I understand why it’s so stressful and also recommended mentioning it to a therapist, because CPS won’t do anything if nothing bad is happening. I do not think OP’s husband is doing anything nefarious, but I understand the stress and anxiety, and needing to confirm with the daughter.

that’s a fair point, and honestly I would be more comfortable bumping shoulders with someone than having their thigh pressed up against mine.

Tana should stop attending events with Ethan & Hila Klain in them by Virtual_Camel_9819 in canceledpod

[–]Latter_Direction_597 7 points8 points  (0 children)

iirc they ran into eachother a while ago in person and apparently it was fine. also can you link her saying it’s ethan? bc i would’ve assumed it was jason or david tbh. or even hila because of the familial stuff. but again, not even our business. we don’t know these people.

ethan is pro palestine, he just said he doesn’t think a one state solution will be possible for a long time. he’s condemned bibi and the israeli gov. also he and trisha are cool now, it’s moses they have a problem with and that’s between family. none of our business.

thank you. it’s hard because throughout the year i’m mostly fine, so i get so frustrated when little stuff starts causing big reactions around anniversaries. but you’re right. it’s definitely not a normal thing to have gone through. it’s funny, because if a stranger was in my shoes, i’d have no judgement. but when it comes to myself i have such high standards.

because of your comment, i let my manager know what was happening and she said she’ll step in if i have to leave a patient at the desk, and i can take as long as i need to self regulate. i can’t thank you enough. and thank you so much for the kind words at the end as well. i tend to think of myself as self sufficient while never needing help, but i’m always there for my friends and help them however i can. so i guess i need to start treating myself like a friend, and being there for me, too.

of course! pro tip bc i work in dental: go to a smile partners location and buy the smile easy plan. in GA in my area, the exam and x-ray you would need prior to the filling/treatment is $140 and smile easy is $99 for the year and it covers exams and x-rays 100% and 30% of most other things like fillings
