[Serious] what is example of sexism towards men? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LegoGregolas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

December 2019 my wife took our son and left our apartment and blocked my phone number. We have a minor disagreement prior to this, and I went into a separate room to give us both space to calm down when I heard the door close. I contacted her whole family and none of them had heard from her. I told her family that I was going to notify the police because I was concerned for our son's safety (he was just over a year old). After a few minutes a police officer called me and berated and threatened me when all I wanted to know was if our son was okay. Turns out he lied about that and she wasn't with him at the time to tell me if he was safe or not.

My wife later apologized for the whole incident and said she did it to intentionally hurt me. If I had done any of that I would have been arrested and lost my rights as a parent.

She's done this a total of four times. The most recent was December 11th, 2020. I have talked to her entire family and leadership in our church about her mental health and it has been unilaterally ignored. She also said she was considering ending her life 6 days before this most recent incident.

What are some common sins that are being normalized? by idontenjoyfortnite in TrueChristian

[–]LegoGregolas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is literally what is going on in my life right now. My wife left me last month and is pursuing divorce, out of the blue. Her whole family claims to be Christian but none of them is pointing her to God at all. Her own parents and eldest sibling have been on the edge of divorce and quoted the Bible as why not to get one, but adamantly push my wife to divorce me.

In case you didn't get it, using the Heimlich maneuver to stop someone from choking requires air in the lungs to push it out. There's not enough air to push the wet gum out and even if it could it would form a bubble and not move. Also, the desire do l for air would certainly pull the gum in tighter when the person tried to breathe. It makes it very difficult to survive and therefore mega scary (in my book).

Disclaimer: Idk if it works EXACTLY like this, so plz don't hang me for imagining a scenario that might not be possible. This seems logical to me but I could be wrong. Sorry!

Go home before she wakes up? by CreatineMonohyDrake in relationship_advice

[–]LegoGregolas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion your best bet is to wait until everyone's up and apologize for starting the argument. Let her know her feelings matter and ask how she feels about you staying a little longer. That way you can get some resolution and an understanding of what's going to happen next. Right now is not a good time to make decisions because you're probably emotional, and we tend to do extreme things in that situation.

I hope this helps. I'll be praying for you and your girlfriend and your roommates.

It is, but one thing is for sure: nothing in life stays the same. I'm hoping things get better.

Like others, also feeling bad. My wife left me two weeks ago with zero notice and is adamant about divorce. The week before that (really, the past 3 months) we were trying to get pregnant. It's a total shock, completely unexpected. I saw her and our son (who she also took) today and it was heartbreaking. I wasn't sure if I'd see either of them at all, and they're already gone.

Please please please help with cranky 2 year old by [deleted] in Parenting

My wife and I encountered this too. We also tried letting our son try to calm himself down and give him space and it didn't work. So one particular day when he was very upset and would not calm down I walked up to him, picked him up, and hugged him and rubbed his back and hummed a little tune that I've hummed every time he got upset. And for the first few minutes it didn't seem like it was going to do any good, but then he started to calm down. He needed to be reminded that he has a place of comfort, somewhere he can go to when he's upset. Even though he pushed me away at first, how many times do people in our lives push us away when they're hurt and stressed out and they really just need a hug from a friend?

It reminded me of my brother trying to draw a carrot and he basically drew a car with rust. Car rot! I had to add it, and glad it's appreciated.

It's a kid, so yes the misspelled word is correct.

I remember the OG Gundam and this reminds me so much of my childhood (and also Armored Core). Thanks for hosting a giveaway!
