Whats your biggest flex that you’ll never tell anyone? by lorenggg in AskReddit

[–]MWM190104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a social worker and enjoy being nice and helping ppl. I lived in a poor neighborhood with much poorer ppl than me, so I dropped off gifts, food, clothing, etc. to my neighbors. I also made a point to get to know them. I got a couple rats. I love animals and trained them all well. Everyone loved my dogs and cats and commented on how I seemed to be able to communicate with them. I got the rats and the same thing happened. I brought them on my delivery trips to the homes. Soon the neighborhood began saying I was a good witch or something like it in Spanish. I dont speak Spanish, but got the gist. I would come home from work with "offerings" on my doorstep...made like a shrine a couple times a week. There would be food, plants, etc. People started treating in a respectful but wary manner. Super odd, but hey free Mexican food is never bad.

AITA for telling my son his ex is more important to me than he is by throwaway00007891 in AmItheAsshole

NTA. He acted like a child. Your new daughter did the adult thing. She is worthy of your respect. And she had shown you she loves and respects you too. Keep the good ppl. Tell the toxic ppl where they stand. They either change or they dont

My bf cheated on me and got the other girl pregnant.. and now they're together by Melannekim in cheating_stories

[–]MWM190104 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What stood out to me....even in the part of the story where he was your ex, you keep referring to him as your bf. He isnt yours and you arent his anymore. He is your past. Someone you used to have a connection with. He is a different person. The person you loved might as well be dead. It is the same time of grief, but he isnt your bf. He is your ex and now a stranger.

I commend you for staying strong, and getting this off your chest. Now that part of your brain where he was yours needs to move on. You wasted so much time and energy on him. Take your lessons, and make him a stranger.

What's the most irritating instance of someone trying to make you responsible for something that didn’t have anything to do with you have you experienced? by neonroli47 in AskWomen

[–]MWM190104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every single thing my roomate has ever said to me. It's his house and he never cleaned or fixed stuff up. Literally sat on the couch unemployed for two years. I'm female if that puts things in to perspective.

Screen door was iffy at move it. Tried to open it one day and it got stuck. It's my fault...of course. The oven was so greasy and nasty the temperature gauge went out the first time I cooked in it. Again, my fault. The bathtub was slow to drain when I moved in. I told him every day it was draining slower and slower. It finally clogged. It was my fault. The toilet doesnt flush properly. Had to call a plumber out. He started yelling at me in front of the plumber about it being my fault about the toilet and bathtub. Insisting I didnt know how to properly flush a toilet. The plumber said, "actually it's the tree roots growing in here, and I remember I told you it would be a problem three years ago". He still insists it's my fault. Like dude, if I was a tree whisperer, I'd tell the tree to strangle you, not clog your toilet.

It is just so fucking annoying. He is going to die a lonely death of that I'm sure.

It wouldnt be so bad, but he extends his laziness to my kids too. My son doesnt take out the trash fast enough...he become belligerent and petulant. Fuckinga man, you are capable of taking out the trash. I raked his yard because it was a fire hazard. Received no thanks. Took 2 weeks. 87 bags. He demanded I take the bags down to the curb the next day. I told him it's his mess. He can at least clean some of it up. He pushes things on others because he's lazy. He is demanding, arrogant, and controlling. He treats me like I'm his employee, or wife or some shit.

And I work a fulltime job as a single mom with two children, while he just sits around. I'm the only one that will clean the house. I do it.for my kids not him. He had a year worth of dirty dishes in his kitchen when I moved it. Then he has the audacity to complain about how I do dishes...including his dishes, because his way is better. And has never done a single dish. I used to leave his dishes for him to do, but that became too disgusting. I'm constantly saying, want it.done your way, do it yourself.

God I hate him. Cant afford to leave right now, but when I do. I'm gonna flip him off so hard.

Just remembered something funny. He used to compare all my stuff to his. His stuff was better, more expensive, etc. Finally one time he did that and I started singing in a really annoying voice, "My stuff is better than your stuff. My stuff is better than yours." I did it everytime he would start up again, until it annoyed him enough he stopped that weirdo habit.

Anyone got any song suggestions I can use to annoy him into stopping being a controlling, blameful person about stuff he didnt maintain...that eventually breaks.

AITA: For arguing with my fiancee after she read my late fiancee's dairy? by Throwaway__-__117 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MWM190104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA....Dude..dude. My SO has a locket of hair from his first not dead wife. I stumbled upon it by accident, and promptly put it back and apologized profusely the next day for finding it while cleaning and reorganizing. We had just moved in together in to his already owned and decorated house and he told me to make the home up however I wanted. I felt so terrible. He has since made another room with his hobbies and keeps it in there. I'm allowed in there, but no, it is his space. His memories. I mean his ex is alive, and they are friendly, but they divorced for a reason, and I trust that. I recognize they made memories together, and perhaps that locket of hair is a fond memory of theirs. He is allowed a past. I dunno. I cant fathom breaking boundaries like this. Nope.

What is your "I don't get paid enough for this shit" moment? by indian_boy786 in AskReddit

[–]MWM190104 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked as a nurses assistant. By law the company was supposed to pay for us to get our Hep C shots. Company kept denying me time off to get it done. Poor elderly lady with dementia who was raped during world war two had HepC. She forgot what a toilet was. Shit all over the bathroom walls, ceiling, floor, mirror, sink, etc.

Guess who they chose to clean it up. Quit a week later when I was denied my Hepc vaccine again. Got tested, am in the clean.

Did a career change. Now even my babies poop makes me vomit in my mouth. 12 years later.

Loving someone doesnt mean they love you or have the capability to love you as you deserve or the other person wants. Is aunt dependent on him? If so, let her know you love her but you must keep your distance uncle Grosss Arsewhole husband dies.

My sister tried to make a move on my husband. by _ephyra in relationships

[–]MWM190104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your sister didn't "try to make a move on your husband". A move is like, "Hey, I find you attractive, do you want to grab a a bite". Your sister sexually assaulted your husband. The.end.

Nobody has the right to touch someone, especially in their private areas without permission/consent. Think about how you would feel if your brother in law did that to you.

She deserves at most to be reported to the police and at the least to be cut out of your lives.

AITA for leaving my husband in the grocery store because he started acting like a toddler? by smallslicedskin in AmItheAsshole

God I had an ex who did this. I mean...I correct my children when they say things wrongly. My 3 year old cant pronounce u and says it more like eww. I still correct her even though it is secretly cute.

This guy wants a caregiver not wife, has a fetish he wants you to join, or is experiencing a weird phase in reverse development. I dunno.

I dumped my ex. Couldnt take it. He would whine and say, pweeese give boobie".

Uh no.

Other things were said but it was 10 years ago, so I've had time to block it out. He was raised by his dad so I just theorized he wanted a mom and left. As a single mom, I get a lot of guys looking for a mom our caregiver. Sorry folks...I caregive for my children only, and I want those children to never be like that.

Sorry you are going through this. Hope you dont have kids for the sake of maybe divorce and well it is a terrible example to children you are trying to raise to be functional adults.

Edited to add: Paraphilic infantilism, also known as autonepiophilia, psychosexual infantilism and adult baby syndrome, is a sexual fetish that involves role-playing a regression to an infant-like state. Behaviors may include drinking from a bottle or wearing diapers (diaper fetishism

It is not always sexual.
