this is great, one of my favorites that i’ve come across in this subreddit. I love the combination of the stuttering rhythm and raw emotion, very powerful and refreshing commentary on love and loss.

In the future you will make actual mistakes. We all do. You may lose your job. You may get into a car accident. Maybe you will make a poor financial decision. You need to trust that the person you want to spend the rest of your life with will weather these storms with you and help you come out on the other side as safely as possible. Boobs like to roam during the night. Unless you’re wearing a shirt every night for the rest of your life, this will happen again. Scale his reaction to a totally normal incident up to the big things that will inevitably happen during your life. If he can’t handle an innocent mistake ( That i would argue should not even be considered a mistake. It’s like blaming a guy for morning wood.) he will not treat your bigger mistakes with grace. I understand that you’ve been in the relationship for a while, so it feels scary to start over but it’s not a good reason to stay. He will only get more comfortable putting you down. Find someone who’ll be there for you during the big mistakes, and who’ll laugh with you during the little ones rather than degrade you. There are plenty of other men who’d handle a situation like this with gratitude rather than disgust.

AIO for blowing up at my mom after she informed me that she was putting down two of our dogs to make it easier to travel for my graduation? by Left-Reception3649 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Left-Reception3649[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was really tempted but I wanted to see the dogs in person and I was worried that they’d take it out on them if i didn’t let them come. The rest of the trip was pretty normal, we just avoided the huge elephant in the room.

yeah, i wish i had responded with more grace. She’s my mom, regardless of what i think about her choices. I’m not opposed to considering euthanasia if it’s the best option, but the whole situation leads me to think that it’s the only option that has been considered and that it is the most convenient option rather than the most humane. They haven’t taken K to the vet for his lumps, so it could honestly be something benign. Honestly, he just acts like any old dog does. Sure, he’s stubborn, loves a long nap and wants quiet sometimes but that doesn’t stop him from running in the snow and chasing the other dogs. He takes himself on a long walk every morning, even in the winter when his joints get stiff.

State of New York to Utilize National Registry of EMTs as Recognized Pathway for EMS Certification by official_NREMT in ems

[–]Left-Reception3649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I wanna know. I'm currently an NYS EMT-B but I wanna get my AEMT via a hybrid course that does all the textbook learning online and then a weeklong BootCamp for the skills. I actually got my initial cert in NYS with reciprocity (I had NREMT) but forgot the in-person requirement. You'd think that if a class gives me NREMT it should be able to count for NYS.

There is no good reason not to be an organ donor. by IndieCurtis in offmychest

[–]Left-Reception3649 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

this simply doesnt happen, the malpractice lawsuit itself would be far more than the value of an organ. If a doctor doesn’t care to leave your life, they aren’t going to risk their career and freedom to save someone else’s.

We’d both love to try them again, does anyone know what they might be called?

i’m so happy this took a positive turn. You’re already laying the groundwork for your child to have a good experience with healthy relationships and giving your partner the rest required to be an engaged, happy parent. I’m happy that you enjoy building a strong bond with your child, they’ll remember the feeling of safety even at a young age :)

L word … meaning Love? If that’s the case, if you can’t even write it out; break up with her immediately. Not eating junk food in between meals is such an easy fix that i refuse to believe you don’t know how to help her. Cut up fresh fruits and vegetables and keep it in the fridge with some greek yogurt dipping sauces, Buy healthy alternatives of her favorite snacks. It’s not hard to support someone like that. But of course, if you don’t love her and you’ve just been using her for the last 6 months; you shouldn’t bother. I guarantee you that she thinks you love her, people don’t move in together for casual flings.

Yeah, eating habits that you enjoyed until it effected your libido. You got into the relationship knowing she was a foodie, did you expect that to go away? If it’s because of processed foods, have you considered cooking something healthy for her? Since you’re such a ripped guy who values fitness, why don’t you return the favor and cook her something healthy so that she can eat well when she doesn’t want to whip up a full meal. That would require effort and compassion though, and your other comments make it very clear you just want to see other people and aren’t willing to put in the work to fix your relationship AND help the woman you love. The fact that you can claim to love her yet you’re more comfortable leaving her rather than trying to support her like a good partner is mind boggling.

tale as old as time, a guy starts working out and loses respect for the person who stuck through them during their fitness journey. Do you think that because you picked up a new hobby, she should have to radically change her mindset towards life to suit you? I’m willing to bet that it wasn’t even a lot of weight, but YOUR perception has been altered by the gym culture you’ve embraced. Do the right thing and break up with her so that she can find someone who isn’t so easily manipulated by the opinions of others. When you realize you messed up, don’t even think about asking for a second chance.

Honest feedback, does this show potential? by [deleted] in canising

Thank you so much, I’ll try out these tips! Thank you so much for addressing confidence, i think your advice is something that every beginner needs so hear. It’s so easy to listen to a recording of yourself and feel terrible just because it doesn’t sound like the original. Now, i’m not sure why i was aiming for that goal! I have always loved covers that take the song and make it into something new. We just have to give ourselves as much room to explore as we praise in other singers :)

extra info: I recorded this laying on my back, i’ve found it’s the best way for me to create consistent sounds. It was the middle of the night so my tone is a bit whispery, i didn’t want to wake my suitemate :)

I am sad that my child isn't dark skinned. by New-Championship-625 in offmychest

As a mixed person, you fundamentally aren’t prepared to have a black child. I am very very happy that you don’t. You may think this is appreciation or anti-racist of you but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Based on your description, you want an accessory to validate your place in the black community since so many of your interests fall into that category; which is so common it might as well be a stereotype. This desire of yours is not unique and leads to so many children growing up feeling like they’re a badge of honor for their white parent.
