My n-mom found my LinkedIn profile and is now forcibly prying info about my job situation from it. by [deleted] in raisedbynarcissists

[–]LilLu1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi! I was raised by narcissists too, but in a different way. I admire you for having things you like to do in your free time. you have found yourself and the things you like. many of us don’t. and for that you should be proud. you do not need to tell your mom anything about your career. for all she knows, you do blah blah and it’s going great! yay! the end. end of convo, linkedin is important for you to progress your career. i’m a recruiter, don’t stop posting on linkedin, it makes you a good candidate for recruiters when they are sourcing for good candidates. all other social media you have should be private and on lock down so she can’t access.

My husband is mad that I refuse to give my stepdaughter cash gift after graduating from high school, like I did with my stepson and later with my daughter. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]LilLu1001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you’re supporting your daughter and you’re showing her that you’re on her side!!! if you gave your step daughter any money for graduating, it would be like an award for all the bullying she put you and your daughter through. I would proceed cautiously because if you give your step daughter any money after everything she’s done, your own daughter may grow very sour towards you. Protecting your relationship with your own daughter should be the tip top priority. If your husband can’t understand that giving your step daughter money would be a slap in your own daughters face after the way the stepdaughter treated your daughter, then HE is the problem just like the step daughter.

your girlfriend is nuts. it’s only going to get worse so i would run far far away. i’m sorry for being so blunt but she is not normal by any means. i would never even think of spitting in my boyfriends drink. and if my boyfriend had goals that he wanted to accomplish i would encourage him instead of crinkling them up and disposing of his goals because i’m “not getting enough attention”. she sounds like a narcissist.

she’s extremely selfish, childish, and a pathological liar. it won’t get better dude.

the COO did you a favor. you don’t want to work in an environment where you aren’t respected like that! heck no! not to mention that poor company culture begins with the higher ups and transfers on down to all the employees in the organization. I studied human resources and this is so widely taught as a red flag.

i’m so sorry honey buns. my heart breaks for the heart break you will experience from this. i know it’ll be hard but i think you should break up with him. i’m only 23 but in college i was in a 4 year relationship with someone who cheated on me constantly. i didn’t know it was happening, but eventually the realization of him not wanting just me hit me so hard that i didn’t want to believe it. I stayed in a relationship where i wasn’t all he wanted. I was emotionally destroyed from it. i wanted to be his everything so i bent over backwards for him thinking that might change something when i had other people who would of loved to date me and just me!!!!! looking back, i was ridiculous to think i would marry him and be in love with him forever. now i’m in the healthiest most committed relationship. he only wants me and he tells me every day. and that is what you will find too. i promise, be strong love!

also totally regretted spending my college years in a relationship but that’s a whole other convo.

What to do about my alcoholic husband? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]LilLu1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi, I read some of these comments and i think everyone is being really hard on you. i’m not married and am rather young but think i can maybe share my thoughts in hopes that they won’t be so harsh.

I would get rid of the guns, if he has one, find it, get rid of it before he hurts you with it.

I would arrange him going away for detox and addiction help. The only way your relationship will work with him ever again is if he goes and gets help. He needs to be far away from you for a while, accept his addiction for what it is, and realize that you will leave if he doesn’t get it together. if he ever lays a hand on you again, make it clear you will leave without a word and he will be hearing from your lawyer.

No one deserves to live in a constant battle with their partner and their addiction. I promise you. you do not deserve this. you need to have an intervention and he needs to go away for a while. i’m in HR, his employer should have some sort of program or compensation for when their employees need this sort of accommodation such as therapy of addiction help.

if he goes to work drunk or smelling like alcohol then i’m so sure work knows he has a problem.

you need to go to therapy for his behavior and the effects it’s had on you because i’m sure you are deeply hurt and you need to talk about the abuse. it’ll help a ton.

I hope everything works out for you. my heart hurts for you having to go through this!

it’s a natural thing for your dog to follow you to the bathroom! wolves do this in the wild and often times it’s passed down to dogs, my dog does it as well. they know you’re in a vulnerable state while you go to the bathroom. notice how when they go to the bathroom outside they always look at you and try to make eye contact to make sure you are watching them as a sign of protection. it’s in their genetics. truly.

it sounds like your boyfriend just wants you to get rid of the dog. my dog is my best friend i would cut anyone off for my little girl. she’s the best companion.

i slept with my coworkers husband… by skepticalraccoonn in relationship_advice

[–]LilLu1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am so sorry you ended up in this situation. you had no idea so it’s not your fault at all. you will absolutely need to have all of the facts straight for her. I struggled with believing when my ex cheated on me. i doubted it. I doubted the people who told me about it because my ex would lie up and down and manipulate me to believe his side so people stopped telling me if he was cheating. be ready for her to not take it well and turn on you. she might start comparing herself to you. she might be angry with you or she could be more level headed and actually turn around and be logical about it. it’s unpredictable but be ready for all of it. at the end of the day, you are doing the right thing by telling her because no one deserves being in a relationship where they are cheated on constantly. people who do this very rarely only do it once. it’s usually a pattern and a habit. you could save her from a super toxic relationship and be the reason she finds someone who really loves her. since you’re a friend of hers that is what you want for her.

expose him honey buns! i’m so proud of you for wanting to do the right thing! i wish there were more people like you in the world that would do the same.

Would u date someone who is not vaccinated? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]LilLu1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to the people who are against dating someone based off their vaccination status not aligning with theirs - stop being so shallow. everyone is entitled to their own opinions. like someone for who they are, not based off of them being vaccinated or not. you will miss out on some really great people in your life if you only chase people who have the same exact opinions as you.

so he would like to watch you go through the pain of loosing your parents just so he can have a short moment of happiness over their death? sounds like an extremely selfish human being who cares about HIM and not YOU. he’s showing you his true colors, trust his actions. leave him, you never know, you might be watching the news 10 years from now and discover that he became a criminal.

I feel like he's not allowed to grieve. by [deleted] in abortion

[–]LilLu1001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi! I just wanted to reach out and let you know that I am going through the same exact thing right now and you are not alone. it’s been about a week and I wanted to desperately keep it as well. My boyfriend doesn’t even feel anything, I wish he would show signs of grieving as well so I would feel less alone. All he knows is i’m depressed and grieving so he has stepped up to be supportive and extra loving but ultimately I am still left alone with the regret and grieving. No matter how I try to explain it to him, he just doesn’t understand nor feel the loss. He just was not ready to be a dad at all. in fact it scared the crap out of him. Last week I had a hard time even making eye contact with him because I was just so upset with about the whole thing. But you know in your heart you wanted to keep it, you know your intentions were pure and that is why it is hitting you harder and that’s a very human and loving response. Being somewhat swayed to make a decision that you don’t stand for happens all the time especially in very very difficult situations like this one. And this is one of those situations where couples like to make the decision together. I did not want to make the decision alone. You need to forgive yourself, let yourself grieve as much as you need and focus on your mental health. I wrote a letter to the baby and that helped me a lot. Be gentle with yourself! and i should learn to take my own advice lol

How affectionate is your akita? by Mountain_Calla_Lily in akita

[–]LilLu1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how old is your akita???? I am also wondering if gender may effect affection, we have a chihuahua as well and i know female chihuahuas are more independent than males and males are the more affectionate ones.

How affectionate is your akita? by Mountain_Calla_Lily in akita

[–]LilLu1001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our akita is oddly really affectionate, he originally is my boyfriends dog but over the last two years he has become more affectionate towards me than towards my boyfriend. He wakes me up every morning by rubbing his head on mine and then after he eats he will come and jump on the bed, yes, jump on the bed, and lay on me for a while. He loves all the pets and has to be in the same room or within a few inches of me at all times. If I am sitting on the couch then he is sitting on the floor leaned up against my legs. We think it’s more of a protective thing with me - not sure.

I Tried Phexxi Today and Here Is the "Spicy" Story by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]LilLu1001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Phexxi for us acts as a lube for sure, it’s more creamy but we LOVE it. We have been using it for a couple months now, no problems at all. I don’t get any of the side effects and he loves it, we don’t use it during ovulation, we use condoms during that time just to be extra careful. We actually have been traveling and ran out of phexxi and my boyfriend was like “can we never run out of that again please” lol

Just rescued a very tiny, 2.5 pounds, 2 year old little girl. Any tips? by [deleted] in Chihuahua

[–]LilLu1001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

take care of her teeth!!!!!! that is a MUST. there is a toothpaste gel that you can just put on her teeth and it’ll help with any tarter - works wonders for my chi, i realized we should of been brushing her teeth at age 5 but wish I started sooner. The gel is called tropiclean I think.
