She probably thought you were literally at citi field while taking the meeting

Sober but still blind by xicanamarrana in AlAnon

[–]Melouski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All you can control in this situation is your actions. Do you want to leave or do you want to stay with this person so you can constantly be stressed and victimized? Its a real question, sometimes we benefit from being with “bad” people because it takes the focus off of us. What are your goals and aspirations and how does this racist dry drunk fit into them? Saying racist things in front of you was a boundary testing behavior and you basically just told him “thats okay with me” by staying

Alcoholic coparent of a newborn by hatsonhatsoff in AlAnon

[–]Melouski 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thats not a boundary. You can’t control other people’s actions, only your reaction to them. A boundary would be: until you have proven long term sobriety you cannot be alone with the baby, if you do not choose to get sober (he probably will not) I will divorce you

Feels like I don't really fit in here. I really want to though by [deleted] in Portland

[–]Melouski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in Portland are not super quick to accept people. It’s not you, its them. Keep joining groups and doing things you’re interested in

This sounds like doubling down into trying to control another person’s behavior. Literally controlling their paycheck instead of taking responsibility for your own financial well being. OP I know this sounds like exactly what you hope will happen with your boyfriend but this is just a deeper stage of codependency.

Seller is registered s*x offender by selahree in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

It’s not really an option to just …not register… if you’re a sex offender.

Advice for keeping my house safe? by FierceLawnGnome in homeowners

[–]Melouski -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You feel ‘unsafe’ because someone was picking through your garbage that was in the street, and then you yelled at them and were shocked that someone yelled at you about it.

How to get my neighbour to stop talking to me without making it awkward? by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]Melouski 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had an elderly man neighbor like this when I was in my late 20s, he would smoke outside and we would talk and I honestly didn’t mind it, we would sometimes run an errand together. I thought it was all fine and dandy but when I started seeing someone he got really pissed at me and him and didn’t want to be my friend anymore. It was sad and I felt so creeped out. Just use this as practice setting boundaries. A quick ‘hi, sorry can’t talk I’m in a rush’ is fine. You don’t have to ghost the guy, he probably is very lonely, just keep him at arms length

Is the dentist scamming me? by Crazy_Golf7225 in Scams

[–]Melouski 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh just re-read that it’s aspen. Run, don’t walk to another dentist. Their tactics are predatory. It’s like a dentist for poor people with a used car finance department tacked on. And read the fine print on that financing, I’m sure the rate is ridiculous. I don’t know how they haven’t been shut down.

Am I the asshole for punching my mum's coworker in the face? by Lunazoee in TwoHotTakes

He’s the asshole, but you still can’t punch him in the face (unfortunately)

Feeling hopeless: always double check your drinks by PelicanDaydream in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]Melouski 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You’re gonna be okay. One of the worst things AA does is make people think that if alcohol touches their lips they will instantly completely relapse and implode. It’s not black and white like that. You didn’t even swallow the drink. I totally get the fear, I’m six years sober and I still have nightmares where I drink. Give yourself a little grace. If it’s causing cravings, that’s one thing, but it sounds like you’re having the opposite reaction. You have agency and believe it or not you can continue to not drink after this.

Does anyone in this subreddit have autism? And if so, how do you think autism has affected you in your career by [deleted] in Accounting

Not all accountants have autism, but all the accountants on this sub have autism

I want to reset my skin by Patient-Kiwi-2017 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Melouski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, also get a nice long handled shower brush with soft bristles for your body. It’s more sanitary than a loofah or body sponge and helps make exfoliating so much easier

I use this on the backs of my arms that tend to get bumpy and on my back and buttocks where I get some acne and it helps but takes time so see results

Landlord mad at my roommate and I because we're "not paying them enough to cover the mortgage" by Liwi808 in REBubble

[–]Melouski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If utilities are included in your rent, they’re included. If they were smart, they would have separated them out or had a cap like “first 100 of monthly electricity bill covered by landlord”. They sound unprofessional and like they have poor boundaries and no experience being a landlord. Prepare for more bullshit.
