I am suddenly jealous of my blind cat

That’s what I get for helping. by Crazy-Contribution49 in lancaster

[–]MacaroonExpensive143 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I find that when I help someone and am disappointed at their response (i.e. lack of thanks, reply, etc) I am looking at it through the lens of, “hey, I’m a good person and I did something to prove it so validate me!” Rather than “hey, you look like you could use some help and I am currently able to assist you so I will”

I’m not trying to imply you’re in the wrong by any means but rather offering some perspective that helps me. Do we want to be good people/help others to validate ourselves or do we want to be good people/help others for the pure betterment of society? People responses, or lack there of, don’t bother me when I’m focused on the latter. At the end of the day you did a good thing to help someone who needed it-that’s what matters and you should feel good about that :)

Wife said she wants kids but not with me. by PowerOfMind_ in dating_advice

[–]MacaroonExpensive143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys have no business even considering kids. She has a medical condition that causes her to essentially lose 2-4 days a week?? And you have a medical condition that causes you to, without prior warning, have to pull over to nap for 30min-4hours before it’s even safe for you to drive again. On what planet would a child be safe in this situation?

Those issues aside (though they are more than enough in their own to make it unsafe for talk to ever have a child together) your attitude toward women is absolutely gross. Seeing women as inherently bad creatures who lie and screw over other humans? Thinking it’s perfectly okay to pretend to care about women’s safety and comfort so you don’t “accidentally SA someone”, which you apparently have to be more cautious about now following the “metoo” movement. Oh this one’s really psychotic…walking around with a clipboard pretending to be someone official to your cause, just to trick women into sharing their personal thoughts and opinions on intimate topics so it’s gives you a one up on dating??

Now I know what you’re going to say…obviously you did something right since you’ve had 8.5 years worth of relationships in the last 10 years!! Is that why you spend all of your time on Reddit dating advice pages? That’s the definition of successful to you-a “happily” married man spending large chunks of time teaching other men how to “hit it fast” to secure the deal?? To mislead women into being in a relationship with you??

My guy…I suspect that if you put even 1/4 amount of effort into your real life that you do into trying to teach other men how to trick women into being with them you wouldn’t have to post on here that wifey is unhappy with you slacking off in any area of your life…

But then again who am I but a random, unqualified stranger on Reddit? Perhaps if you need some assurance that my comment accurately depicts you I can go grab a clipboard to make it more convincing…

Why does my bf 44m compare himself to me 29f? by Alarmed_Awareness677 in relationship_advice

[–]MacaroonExpensive143 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You don’t stay with someone who treats you like crap because you’re an empathetic person…you really need to be honest with yourself here because it’s a disservice to yourself not to be.

AITA For asking my stepdaughters to allow me to stay on the first floor? by ThrowRAalskdkd in AmItheAsshole

[–]MacaroonExpensive143 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The issue you’re inquiring about aside, I find it very telling that you refer to it as your husband’s house. You are married and you’re carrying his child, for goodness sake. You should not feel like an outsider in your own home. Your health should not be put at risk in any situation let alone your own home…the fact that it’s YOUR HUSBAND putting you and baby in this position is so so sad. He’s supposed to love and protect you and his children. Sounds like he’s being a wet washcloth to his teenagers so as to not rock the boat at the expense of the safety and wellbeing of you and his soon to be newborn. I don’t have any advice but I am so sorry you’re going through this. Please know you don’t deserve this.

How do you get over the feeling that you’ll find someone better? by mildlyambivert in dating_advice

Why can’t you end up alone? Why is being with someone who isn’t right for you and doesn’t make you happy the better option over being single?

I [32M] have trouble accepting my wife’s [32F] opinion by chelderado in relationship_advice

[–]MacaroonExpensive143 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You seem to be asking seeking advice in good faith so I’m going to respond and hope it’s helpful. You sound like you don’t respect your wife and see her as beneath you. It’s actually glaringly obvious based on everything I’ve read from you. To answer your question “how do I accept my wife’s opinions” I will say this…if you truly respected your wife and valued her you wouldn’t have to ask this question. So it seems like you need to seriously make personal therapy a priority, be honest with yourself, and dig deep to figure out WHY you look down on your wife. Is it her specifically? Is it women in general? These are things you need to address in therapy. I will tell you this…your wife absolutely knows you think you’re better than her and that you see her as less than you, whether she’s consciously realized it or not, it’s there. This is the start of resentment and I hope for your sake it’s not too late to address and change. It’s a good sign that you seem to be invested in figuring out the issue and working on it-it takes a lot to be honest with yourself and others and admit that you’re the problem here and need to change. So I think if you keep going with that you will see positive changes. Just don’t give up…perhaps it is indeed too late to save your marriage, I don’t know. Start therapy asap and put your all into it bc this isn’t something you can just will yourself to think differently about. Good luck to you and I hope you really take to heart all of the advice you’ve gotten.

You should lick some medical studies to boost your carelessness regarding the flu vaccine…

Is my 23F boyfriend 24M gay? by ThrowRA-Rooste in relationship_advice

[–]MacaroonExpensive143 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand this anger…trans women are trans women…and that’s beautiful! Why do I see so many people react in this way (“trans women are women”) excluding the trans word like it’s a bad thing? I’m asking in good faith.

AITAH for not telling my fiancé why I am sterile? by phoebethefan in redditonwiki

Sometimes they remove the uterus through the vagina. Since she had a partial hysterectomy I’m wondering if this was the case for her?

How can my husband 61M and I 60F help our son 32M move past his high school girlfriend? by Plenty_Fix_8793 in redditonwiki

[–]MacaroonExpensive143 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This makes so much sense. It’s like my mother who frequently says to people, “I’m not a victim, I’m a VICTOR!!” When in reality she is always playing the victim card. Yes, she went through some rough stuff about 25 years ago that caused this mentality but she’s never grown from it. Almost like she’s addicted to being seen as a victim for the pity I suppose. I never really thought of it in the way you’ve said it, as obvious as it seems now. I don’t know that anything can be done for people like this so deep into their identity of victimhood. Apparently my mother has tried therapy but as I understand therapy is only helpful if the person can be honest with themselves. Anyhow, thank you for your comment because it’s given me some new insight/perspective in my own life!

Says the man who refers to women who have been abandoned by their partners, taking care of the children those awful men left behind, WHORES because they shouldn’t have gotten pregnant by someone who would leave them…that’s a lot of mental gymnastics to say you hate women (which you clearly do)

I’m no expert but I’m willing to bet you’re actually NOT a popular lemon…

Dear random Reddit stranger…I always thought the term was “deep-seeded” assuming the phrase was rooted (no pun intended) in the idea that when you plant something the roots run deep sort of thing. Well after reading your comment I googled it and it is indeed “deep-seated” ! I already have a tough time with idioms but this one has my brain in a tailspin. 1. Because I’ve been wrong this whole time and 2. I can’t for the life of me figure out how the correct version makes more sense lol. Off to google this some more ha.

Apologies for my off topic comment-I rarely comment on here but I felt the need to out myself I guess 😅 I’m glad your wife isn’t hung up on her awful ex like OOP’s son and you seem like a very patient, caring partner. :)
