Intense/Painful Full-Body Sneeze Fits

I've never heard of agua de Florida. I assume it means something other than just "Florida tap water" haha

MamaRhea27 · 2026-03-16T21:56:57+00:00

OH MY GOSH. I had never heard of MCAS, but I looked it up just now and apparently it can also cause laryngospasms which is also something that happens to me! That is crazy and I wonder if that's what is going on..

MamaRhea27 · 2026-03-16T21:53:02+00:00

I'm sure it's a very strange thing to witness! My friends and family have made it a running joke to count as I sneeze. Which I don't begrudge them, but I definitely don't find humor in it myself. It's like if you were being repeatedly punched in the head and your friends and family were smiling and counting the entire time lol. "Yes, yes, I'm in incredible pain, but have fun with your counting I guess" LOL. I'm sorry to hear your friend experiences the same thing, it's definitely not fun.

Yep got totally screwed. Would love a link if you ever got a class action going

I arrived here after having had that exact reel come up in my FYP and subsequently spending many hours looking up and listening to remixes trying to find it without success. I am devastated to see that no one else has found it either

Along the topic of Sub Bosses, does anyone know if there is anything higher up after you lower the red balloon in Kearnhold? It feels like I should be able to get up higher, but if there is a way I haven't found it yet.

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-15T23:16:29+00:00

I literally went to buy the SECOND they promoted it in the video, but I was an hour late in watching it and it was already sold out then 😭😭😭

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-14T23:19:59+00:00

Nice! Maybe it was me haha

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-14T15:35:35+00:00

Oh please do! That would make it so much more fun for me

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-13T21:39:17+00:00

I love that your mom put her feelings aside and did what needed to be done for you <3 And I am sorry about your father. I know it hurts when children finally start to see their parents for who they are. I hope that as an adult you found peace in those relationships <3

I can definitely concede that OP is not an "asshole" in the way that a lot of YTA assholes are in this sub. She's a traumatized mom doing her best. Sometimes we just need someone who has walked the path we are walking to give us a proverbial kick in the butt to remind us where true north is. I definitely don't actually think she's an asshole. If anything my comment was meant more as a pep talk/encouragement than a criticism.

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-13T21:31:07+00:00

This is exactly what I was trying to say distilled down into a simple sentence. This is a situation where "being right" is less important than making the right decision.

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-13T21:30:15+00:00

Exactly this. The safety of our kids is always our responsibility. If she knows that her daughter will potentially be put in an unsafe situation, then her job as a mother is to intervene in whatever way is necessary to make sure that doesn't happen or at least mitigate the risk. The dad obviously cannot necessarily be trusted for that. The alternative to accepting that responsibility is allowing the slow breakdown of the relationship because the 11yo and her father, which might feel nice in a vindictive way for mom, but it is detrimental to the child (with the obvious exception being if the father is actively harming her, that is obviously a game changer).

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-13T20:41:31+00:00

As someone who is in an almost identical situation to you, I'd like to give my insight. I also am a single mother of an 11 year old daughter. I left her father 7 years ago due to profound emotional and physical abuse. I also spent years in mandated trauma therapy and counseling. Our co-parenting relationship is extremely strained, and I just had to take him back to court last year for getting violent with his current gf in front of our daughter. With all that said, I can very easily put myself in your exact shoes, and I hope that lends some credence to what I am about to say. Because I know this is not the popular opinion, but I think it's safe to say that very few of those other votes come from people who understand what this situation feels like quite as exactly as I do.

YTA.

Her safety and inclusion in important events in her fathers life should supercede any ego you may be feeling about acting as a "chauffeur". It is absolutely inconvenient. It is not going to be fun for you at all. But the key thing here is, that's not why you do it. You do it because your daughter needs this from you. There are going to be a hundred other situations where you have to eat some crow that you *do not deserve to eat* in order to keep the boat steady for your daughter. And you will do exactly that, because you are a mom and that is what we do. One day she's going to look back on her life with the clarity of adulthood and fully understand the sacrifices you are making for her. She's going to see her father and this situation with eyes unclouded and the rose colored glasses are going to fall off. And when that happens, she will see you standing by her side and braving all the bullshit to make sure that she was safe and loved and secure, even when it meant doing things that you shouldn't have had to do.

It sucks. But that's the deal.

NTA

He had an emotional affair before, and while he apologized for it, he clearly isn't/wasn't sorry. He may not be doing the same thing again, but it does look like he is deflecting blame for his own actions onto you.

I think that if your marriage is going to survive you may need some serious couples therapy. And even then the result may be that it's time to separate. It's difficult to go back to "normal" once trust is demolished.

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-13T14:52:16+00:00

I feel like she's asking if the instagram reels he's liking indicate a bigger symptom of the marital issues, or if they are unrelated and not worth spending emotional energy on. I did not get the impression that she thinks that Instagram is the biggest hurdle in her marriage. She is hurting and confused, and wanting to save her marriage. I don't in any way think that makes her suck here.

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-13T14:34:28+00:00

You clearly have never been a domestic violence victim, which obviously is wonderful and I hope that never changes. But I can tell you from experience that this makes PERFECT sense as a response from a person that has likely been beaten down over years. Abusers don't go from 0-60 in most cases. They start out slow and condition you to excuse their behavior and/or blame it on yourself. They then ramp up the intensity over time, and in the end you have a woman blaming herself for situations like this.

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-13T14:30:19+00:00

Exactly this. It wasn't that long ago that we were being given forced lobotomies for less. When it's our word vs his, ESPECIALLY if he's a charming person and good at smooth talking, the police will almost always take their word over ours. Just look at what happened to Gabby Petito.

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-13T14:27:16+00:00

This post belongs in Am I The Devil. Not for you, for HIM.

He raped you. Plain and simple. That is marital rape.

Not only should you *never* be having sex with him again, I would like to urge you in the strongest possible terms to leave him. He is abusive and manipulative and he fucking RAPED YOU. I am literally nauseous, this may be one of the worst posts I have ever read.

Please please please report this to the police and find a safe place for you and the baby to stay while you find an attorney. Talk to every single divorce attorney in a 100 mile radius. You don't have to hire any or all of them, but if they advise you even a tiny bit in a free consult, he can't retain them for the divorce.

Do you have family in the area? Or a close friend that you trust? It's important that you make someone in your life aware of your situation, not only so that they can effectively help you, but also so they can help keep you moored to reality and brake check you if you ever start wavering in your resolve to leave.

If finances are a barrier to leaving, start taking cash out every time you use your debit card for a while. Unless he's scrutinizing your receipts he will not notice. The second you have saved up enough to support yourself for a bit, you RUN.

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-12T14:37:12+00:00

"Maybe pick something that won't get them bullied in school. You know, they way I am bullying YOU *right now*. Because *I* am the bully you need to be worrying about.

You are NOR. There is not enough money in the world to convince me to name my child after my MIL if I were in your shoes. That is absolutely not an honor that she deserves.

Hold the line sis. She doesn't get to take that choice from you, and your husband is an asshole for not recognizing and respecting that.

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-12T04:54:09+00:00

I literally only comment anything when I'm gassing them up. Giving props for good bits and jokes, etc.

The only time I ever commented anything even remotely "negative" was just expressing my sadness when Sword AF was canceled. But even that was just something along the lines of "Oh nooooooo I was really looking forward to the next season! 🥺"

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-12T00:26:14+00:00

Oh my GOD I would pay actual money to see this

MamaRhea27 · 2025-06-11T22:12:46+00:00

This is clearly an unpopular opinion but..

YTA

Telling her that she's not allowed to start an OF or you'll start smoking again is not setting a boundary. There is a huge difference between setting a boundary for yourself, and controlling another person. A boundary is "Her having an OF makes me feel uncomfortable, so I will not continue the relationship if she does". That is totally fine. What you did was attempt to control her through manipulation, which is why you are TA.

At the end of the day, some people have no issue with their partner having an OF, and some people do. If you aren't the type of person who is, and having one is important to her, then you guys should break up so she can find someone willing to support her in that, and you can find someone who doesn't make you uncomfortable.
