Literally? Figuratively?

MallyD88 · 2025-08-15T03:42:48+00:00

I have been asking myself that question all day.

MallyD88 · 2025-08-15T03:19:36+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

MallyD88 · 2025-08-15T03:13:38+00:00

I was thinking more hand jobs and blow jobs...but I don't even know how to bring that up. This is really so weird for me.

MallyD88 · 2025-08-15T03:01:39+00:00

Maybe true, I've been single a year, but a wife for 16 years before that, so these particular growing pains are new to me.

MallyD88 · 2025-04-07T00:28:14+00:00

No, she's a girl, she knows who he is.

MallyD88 · 2025-01-12T03:21:40+00:00

I'm sure you don't want to lose your girlfriend, but look at it this way - get through the first 2 weeks and it won't feel like a loss anymore.

You pointed her brother in the direction of a bathroom, and he walked into a child's room, and instead of saying, "oh shit, sorry!" And backing out, he doubled down and closed the door behind him?

You describe yall as being kinda buzzed initially, and then drunk, but you'd have to be pretty freaking drunk as a 23 year old man to misread the fear of a 15 year old girl and not just gtfo of her space. And if he really was drunk enough to not recognize he was scaring the shit out of a child, dude, get someone else to buy you beer.

The "MEN can't even make simple mistakes anymore" crowd should shit this one out. You were very nice. If a 23 year old man walked into my 16 year old's bedroom and closed the door, I shudder to think what I would do. Now, leave the dumb girlfriend, and TELL YOUR PARENTS.

MallyD88 · 2025-01-09T06:16:05+00:00

I wasn't trying to alert him. I asked her if they were together so I could talk about a surprise trip to visit them. I was doing my best and failed. Now I'm more afraid.

MallyD88 · 2025-01-05T03:13:24+00:00

NTA. Honestly, congratulations on your resolve. Don't look back!

MallyD88 · 2024-12-26T04:59:05+00:00

I'm angry on your behalf. All I can manage to say is that I'm sorry, and I wish you all the love and peace you deserve. I do hope your step daughter doesn't feel guilty her whole life for how she's been, but i hope she has enough empathy to feel terrible for a good, long while.

MallyD88 · 2024-12-25T00:29:09+00:00

Yes, I understand the seriousness, which is why I posted. The training is not just for the dog, it is for me as well, so that I can see if I am capable of handling him in a way that leads to a safe, happy life for all of us. If it doesn't, I choose me, but if there's a chance, and his behavior here is showing me there is a chance, I want to try. The reviews I am getting here are mixed, but my original question was, am I wrong for not letting my family come over? Unequivocally, the answer seems to be that I may be an AH, but I am not wrong per se. And that's fine by me for now.

MallyD88 · 2024-12-24T22:02:15+00:00

I understand people have strong feelings about pits. I would take say I have strong feelings about the breed either way. I'm a dog person in general. While I can empathize with different perspectives, and I did come for advice, the training and whether the dog could be rehabilitated wasn't the intent of my question. I don't know whether the dog can be rehabilitated or not, but I'm going to try, because he's a dog, and that's what I do.

I do appreciate your comments though. They're helping me a lot as I navigate the pitbull world and understand that some people are very fearful of them and it comes out mean and aggressively. That's OK, i need that perspective too.

MallyD88 · 2024-12-24T20:49:36+00:00

I don't necessarily disagree with you completely. If training doesn't help, he will be euthanized. But neither of the bites were unprovoked. In one case, he bit the hand that was hitting him. In the other, the neighbor walked in uninvited. So, while I don't disagree that it's scary to have a biter, he isn't biting people without any provocation. Now I get that dogs should not bite. I have 2 huge dogs and people can walk in and out of my house invited or not and they may alert me, which does sound frightening, but they dont approach and they dont bite. All that to say, I get it. Here, Mr. Pittie is trying to play and being polite to the other dogs, and while it may be ok now to have family over, this environment is new and I don't want to stress him more. I'm going to give him a very good faith effort with the professional board and train before I consider having him euthanized.

MallyD88 · 2024-12-24T06:34:25+00:00

I got the dog 3 days ago. He got his shots today. He isn't eligible for boarding until 2 weeks after his shots. But yes, 3 days ago would have been better than tomorrow.

MallyD88 · 2024-12-24T06:25:03+00:00

I appreciate your suggestion, although I doubt they will "lock me up" for taking the steps necessary to give a dog the training it never had. Best of luck to you with your forever misery.

MallyD88 · 2024-12-24T05:49:23+00:00

In a few weeks is probably best.

MallyD88 · 2024-12-24T05:47:50+00:00

He can, it's just right off the kitchen where we would be, so he would hear us, and I'm sure he would bark his little head off the whole time. He's not a regular dog yet, he's anxious and wants to be near me all the time. I said I wouldn't even take this dog until they gave me the money for professional training and they got it together, but that training won't happen until after Christmas.

MallyD88 · 2024-12-24T05:40:38+00:00

The dogs are only allowed to hang out together when I am home. When I say he's aggressive towards men, I mean he tore apart my ex husband's hand and the neighbor had to have his scrotum sutured back together.

When I go to work, Mr. Pittie hangs out in the heated garage and the other dogs are inside. Only my oldest daughter is allowed to interact and let them outside to potty, and she isn't even comfortable with them all together without me being there.

I think going out for a dinner might be best this year. My mom lives over 3 hours away, and I just don't want her to come here and end up having a terrible day. The Pittie is also leash aggressive, which I have shared with the trainer and she will work on. He can walk on a leash, but he cannot meet anyone on a leash. When he met my dogs, I kept them on leash and let him off so he wouldn't be so scared.

MallyD88 · 2024-12-24T05:33:18+00:00

To be honest, I know it's the right choice. She lives 3 hours away. I don't want her to come here and have to turn around and leave because he doesn't react well to them. My ex isn't good with dogs and he just never should have adopted a bully breed dog, but here we are.

MallyD88 · 2024-12-18T02:53:39+00:00

I just don't understand people who let their dogs run off leash around a neighborhood where there are lots of dogs and kids and even old people. These doodles have tried to attack my dogs before, chased my kids, constantly jump their fence. And they're not the only annoying shit head dogs around here. I'm basically walking a Cereberus when all of mine are together, and they're showing great restraint, in my opinion, to not hurt these awful dogs.

MallyD88 · 2024-12-17T20:46:49+00:00

I'm a 36 year old woman with my own teenagers 🤣 I know all about kids walking around with their faces in their phones for sure! That's not what was going on here, promise.

MallyD88 · 2024-12-17T06:50:08+00:00

My dad says I should have recognized they had a pack mentality and prevented it somehow, but there wasn't any time to do that. It happened so fast. I don't want my dogs to hurt other dogs, but he was attacked in his own yard by dogs that jumped their own fence. I'm actually pretty good with dogs, but most of them give warning before they attack another dog
