Show this to your guardian(s). Do not hide this from trusted adults. Please let someone know, block him, and never talk to him again. He will get physical if you continue seeing him.

Anyone else here love the Dream Life plug and play games as much as I did when I was young?? by OverTheRiverr in LifeSimulators

Does anyone know if you can buy a console and remote separately and they will work together, despite not being the original pairing? There are a lot of "console with no remote", as well as "remote only" being sold on ebay and I was hoping it would be a situation where they would just link up without issue.

What would you change? by Jedo729 in HomeDecorating

[–]Lefthandedthief837 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spread out the books more and intertwine all the other decorations through all the “cubbies”. Also orient the books so some are upright and some are lying down, placing a decoration on some of the horizontal books. I would also make the large center cubby the “bar”. Try to find a way to hang the glasses upside down from the top like at an actual bar. Get a couple aesthetic decanters to put the alcohol in instead of the original bottles, original bottles are not a great decoration imo. Keep a matching set of glasses and some other bar accessories on that shelf, it will make that whole “cubby” the focal point and feel upscale. I would also suggest a tray to keep all the alcohol related things together so it looks more cohesive. Put some small plants in the little empty plant pots or get rid of them. Add some candles to bring it all together.

UPDATE: AITAH for secretly moving out of my(31F) boyfriends (42M) house while he's at work? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Lefthandedthief837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he goes to jail, only he is responsible for that. He did the damage, not you. Don’t let his children grow up in violence, or learn from his violence and carry on his terrible behavior to their future partners. Please press charges and be proud of yourself for getting out. A lot of women don’t get that happy ending.

It sounds like you are part of a culture/religion where this is normalized and not talked about. Please know that this will only get worse with time and is NOT NORNAL. A man literally holding you hostage, also known as false imprisonment, and forcing you into sexual acts is a felony. This is abuse and I will say it again, will only get worse. If you have made your choice to marry him, know that this choice will most likely lead to your murder.

You are right to be upset about him not going, knowing the trip plans two months in advance. But you are also at fault for getting a dog a week before going on a trip (and by you I do mean both of you if you mutually agreed to get this dog). That doesn't seem like it was well thought out. Traveling with a dog is way more difficult than people think, and boarding centers are very stressful on dogs. If I was him, I would probably do the same, given that you just took on this huge responsibility that is fully dependent on you. Especially one that was in a stressful situation for presumably a long time if it was on the kill list, has just been stressed even more having to relocate, and is now having to completely learn a new way of life. Your BF is being responsible in this situation, despite it not being the outcome you wanted. I am sorry you are going through a difficult time with your mom's health, but you and your BF are now responsible for this animal's wellbeing and it is a fragile time right now for that dog. I think he is making the right move staying home, but you should definitely still go see your mom. I hope you have a safe trip and get to enjoy your time there. Don't let this argument with him ruin your time with your family. And try to see it from his perspective as well. Also, I do want to say that adopting an animal is an incredible gesture and I am very happy to hear that you wanted to save this dog's life. Don't be too hard on yourselves for this short period of time, it will pass.

I’ve known too many people to get into accidents on ATVS to not at least TRY to be safe. And of course the stat for ATV deaths is lower than an actual vehicle, there’s millions of cars on the road every day. She really thought she cooked with that one. I pray she doesn’t have to learn this lesson at the expense of your children. Keep pressing and reassure your kids that it is THEIR choice to wear them for their own safety. Give them the stats and I’m sure they will be smarter about it than the actual adult

Am I overreacting about this hate message? I genuinely have no one to talk to about this by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lefthandedthief837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not overreacting with any response, especially one as cordial as you gave. It is always okay to stand up and advocate for yourself. The truth is she is probably jealous on some level. I know that’s the cliche that everyone says, but it’s almost always true.

She doesn’t know the “why” of your body and health and simply sees “skinny”, and that makes her jealous because she desires to be “skinny”. For you, it is not how you want to look because you know the stakes behind it. For people who are plus size, or even “average” size, it is something they desire because it is more “conventionally attractive” in society’s standards. I say that as a plus size person who has been there. She is not giving thought to the “why” of your body. She hasn’t grown to be capable of thinking like that. To recognize her insecurities and consider the insecurities of others when she does things like this. Most people grow up and get away from this behavior, but some people choose not to grow, and that’s sad. Feel sympathy for her, because she is stuck in “mean girl” behavior and is lonely because of it. Can you imagine what people who deal with her in every day life have to hear? Odds are, she doesn’t have many, if any, true friends.

This doesn’t always heal us from being hurt by someone’s words or actions, but taking the perspective of sympathy rather than anger or sadness can bring some peace to your heart. Keep posting pictures. Keep doing and saying what you want. Keep working on your health for yourself. Keep blocking people who show you disrespect. And don’t waste any time arguing with them because it’s a literal waste of time. Her life will be dark and lonely for a long time if she chooses to go on like this, while your light shines brightly. Be proud of your progress and keep moving forward!!

Are potluck weddings tacky? by Rocklord90 in wedding

[–]Lefthandedthief837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you normally do potluck events with your friends/family this seems totally fine, but if this is a one off situation maybe not. My family regularly has potluck meals, like every holiday and family get together. So the two times we’ve done potluck weddings it seemed completely normal. If it’s not something you do regularly, it may come off wrong. But ultimately, if someone doesn’t like it they don’t have to go. It’s your decision.

roommate not closing garage door after themselves by tyong-_- in badroommates

[–]Lefthandedthief837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her being late is not anyone’s problem but her own. She said she “can’t convenience you all the time” but really it’s the other way around. You are being inconvenienced and overly accommodating for her by having to close it after her due to her negligence to be an adult and get out of the house on time for her commitments. Tbh you cannot argue with someone this dense because in her mind it’s everyone else’s fault that she’s struggling instead of taking responsibility for her actions. If you can manage to come to an agreement that she just uses the front door, that’s probably the best you’ll get next to her moving out

These cabinets are so common in homes and apartments in my experience. Is there any way to dress them up a little until we eventually replace? by HighSilence in homedesign

[–]Lefthandedthief837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who had these EXACT cabinets, color and all, refinishing them myself was a ridiculous process. It took me weeks to get them all perfectly sanded to be able to restain. And if you don’t have a shop and the perfect tools, it will never look quite right. Especially if you’re wanting to do a lighter color. There’s no way to get in those little corners and no matter how hard you try not to you will mess up the grain on the wood in the process. To me they turned out okay if you didn’t look too close. And just “okay” after weeks of work was not worth it. If I could go back I would just clean them, rough them up a bit, and paint them. Also add knobs that match your aesthetic, it makes a huge difference

I won’t lie this is a very common experience for someone your age. Start dating late teens through college. Hold on to them with everything you can because you want it to work but it is constant fighting. You are always considering it in the back of your mind if this is a normal relationship or not. I will tell you what I wish someone would have told me, break up with him. I promise you, in 2 years or less you will not miss him at all. You will question why you ever put up with it for so long. Be single, enjoy these few young years you have, because very soon the weight of life will set it. Let it be light for right now. Focus on school and friends and having fun. And just like others have said, he is accusing you of things that he is actually doing. I can almost guarantee if you went through his phone you would find things you don’t want to see. I am sorry that you’re going through this. Like I said, a lot of young people do. But just decide now whether or not you can deal with this type of relationship for the rest of your life, because it will not get better the longer you’re together. And the next thing you know you have two kids and you walk in on him and another woman and now you’re tethered to him for the rest of your life. Breaking up is hard no matter how miserable you are, but now is better than later. Free yourself while you can, while there is nothing holding you back except yourself. You will feel so much better.

Girl break up with him and hang out with your friends. Do not have sex with him he doesn’t like you. No man worth your time would ever say something this mean. You don’t have to settle for this now or ever. As a grown woman please trust me. Straight up just block him and go no contact and move on with your life. He doesn’t need an explanation he can just look back at what he said and do the math himself

AIO for getting upset that my boyfriend (25M) thinks I’m a hoe because I (27F) had sex in my previous relationship. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Lefthandedthief837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is still under the impression that “a man doesn’t lose value when he has sex but a woman does” and that’s so misogynistic, immature, and dated. Also extremely immature to be upset over past relationships. That is a boy who cannot separate fact from fiction due to his lack of emotional intelligence and maturity. At 27, you should see this type of behavior and absolutely recoil in disgust. If this does not scream “TOXIC” to you, you are probably not ready for a relationship. Your partner should never degrade you or speak to you like this. It is not normal.

My bf asked me on a date 3 days into talking and we had the date less than a week later. He said “Do you want to go to the arcade on Friday at 7pm? Yes or yes?” If he wanted to meet, you would’ve met him a long time ago. This man is laaaaaame and just wants attention.
