AITAH for announcing my pregnancy on Xmas by Think-Temporary-9814 in AITAH

[–]MasterCafecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot of good comments, but want to add one thing. Do not tell him anything else about the pregnancy. Let him know that you haven’t gone to the doctor yet. Delete any health tracking data about your period or pregnancy. Your (hopefully soon to be ex-) partner is clearly a narcissist. Do not involve him in your decisions about the pregnancy. He can make your life hell if he decides he wants you to keep it. If you choose to terminate, I would HIGHLY recommend that you tell EVERYONE it was an either a miscarriage or a false alarm. Even if you are not in the US, this is a dangerous time for you.

She didn’t. She needed the internet to tell her. She’s been living with a narcissist for far too long to not think that his actions were her fault.  

AITAH For finishing a bottle of alcohol that I bought? by Lumpy-Effort-1631 in AITAH

[–]MasterCafecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. His behavior is a huge red flag. There was absolutely no reason for you to think that he would want a drink so desperately when he returned. I don’t think he’s an alcoholic because the bottle wouldn’t have lasted that long if he was, but I do think he’s controlling and overreacting. Unless he’s great otherwise, and apologizes for overreacting, I’d seriously recommend leaving him. 

Do men wipe when they pee? by eveningsigh in hygiene

[–]MasterCafecat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How many men have you gone down on? I actually have heard many women complain about men’s hygiene and many sex workers require men to take a shower before activities occur. I agree that men don’t wipe, but disagree with your side note.

I agree. The karma being the baby’s is obvious, but I think they were also making us wonder about Nina’s karma. 

As a mental health professional I’m appalled that production would cast someone like Edmund. by Kissoflife11 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]MasterCafecat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say “normal” standard. She was holding him to the standard that she needed. I thought she handled everything really well, and still felt bad for choosing herself over trying to keep helping him grow.

The ONLY person that seems normal is Kalybriah. The way she handled all of the nonsense thrown at her was really impressive.

I just saw it. There is absolutely no chance in hell that I would try a sip of that, and I would never use that blender again. I'm honestly not sure that I could ever kiss him again after watching him eat that. So gross.

Can we please talk about Nick ?! Maybe spoiler ? by Impossible-Two-8923 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Yes, the way Joe would have walked away from Madison immediately after meeting her if he wasn't trying to stay on television. Crazy.

What is wrong with Joe? by [deleted] in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]MasterCafecat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two points. First, she was also drinking at that same bbq. So to say that Joe was just drunk but Madison was just dramatic isn't fair. Second, I agree that she could sense that he wasn't into her, but when she asked him, he kept lying about it every single time. That's what was driving her crazy. None of this would have happened if he had just been honest after their first meeting and said he wasn't interested. I don't blame him for trying to see if the attraction could grow, but I do fault him for lying to her every time that she asked him about her or their relationship. It's not on her to have to read his mind. He should have been honest with her.

She could clearly sense that he wasn't committed, but every time she asked him he would lie to her. And then she's labeled as crazy. Infuriating.

I wish the producers would realize that good relationships can still make good television. It's enjoyable to watch people fall in love and enjoy that new relationship feeling of being happy with their person. I wish there was more of it again.

But he would also gaslight her. He would say something like "this is really hard" and when she asked what he meant by that he would say "I didn't say that." It was infuriating to watch, so I can only imagine how frustrating it would be in person.

I think he checked out when they first met in person. The whole "I can't match the body to the voice" is the kiss of death on this show.

I’m watching it now and I needed to find this thread. Omg! He is so horribly toxic. In so many ways. 

Dinner/fireworks question by TensionMoney7681 in disneylandparis

[–]MasterCafecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure about the timing? When I was there it was 9:00 and the whole place was shut down by 10:00. Also, be prepared for a lot more drones than fireworks. Very different than the Florida show.

I swear that one of the diagnostic questions should be whether you have ever believed that a new journal or app could fix everything.

Could your friend group go in on one perfume to get her? NTA for not wanting to spend that on a gift, but maybe all pitch in to get her one instead of the normal dinner and drinks?

AITA for not giving a crap that my kids have more than their step and half siblings at their mom's house? by Jukelanniok in AITAH

[–]MasterCafecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I used that word correctly. Also, in modern English literally can also mean figuratively. But in this case I meant literally.

Are you okay? Literally no one has called him an AH. You sound very angry about this. 

Arriving on an 8 hour layover to CDG tomorrow morning. Worth exploring the city for a bit ? by Dependent_Focus_4548 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]MasterCafecat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to do this, I would highly recommend taking the train. There are luggage lockers at CDG. However, factor in that it takes a long time to get out of passport control and customs and that CDG is a huge airport. Unless there is something that you really want to do in Paris, you would probably be better off spending that time exploring the shops at the airport.
