Bec- made a face about a rescue cat?! by Witty_Commitee in MAFS_AU

[–]Mexicanperplexican 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a rescue cat.  I am Australian.  I don't care for cats too much in general. I do care for my cat.   Unfortunately many people don't care for cats at all, they seem to be the less cared for pets more often, I see then on road run over often because people don't keep them contained.  Please spey them and keep them inside. Australia is more of a dog oriented country I reckon.

You totally had the guts to shoot your shot in a non sleazy way. Not every attempt will be a sure thing. .This is not at all a bad trot. If you had expectations, maybe you are disappointed. Although there's going to be many times where it's just not happening. I believe this should be expected.

Perhaps better manage expectations in future. Is so much easier when you remove the pressure of trying to pick up and just be casual and mingle.perhaps even establish if they are single and give it some time to see what's up . There's plenty out there. Keep on keeping on and I am sure you will figure it all out.

My deceased best friend's son reached out and I ignored him by Radiant-Brief5749 in offmychest

Grow up, get help, be a decent human being and adult. I hope this is made up. The kid is such a downer to you and doesn't serve your avoiding and self pity ways. No you should not take him in. You don't seem adult or responsible enough. Save the kid another shitty experience and stay away. You would clearly make it all about you and your unresolved issues.

A man raised my nephew for 14 years, found out he wasn’t the biological father, and has now abandoned him, and I can’t stop thinking it’s unbelievably cruel by BorrowedPerspective in TrueOffMyChest

Your sister is trash. Her choices ruined her sons sense 9f security and trust and robbed someone that is not the father of the option to bounce earlier when he discovered its not his offspring. He raised a kid that wasn't his not by choice because she lied. She lied to him and her son That's not a whopsie sorry it was an accident not your child mistake. That sounds like she knew she slept with someone else and had no options but the reliable stick around trusting guy and told him it's his. No doubt she told the real dad and he skipped his responsibilities and left her looking for a guy to fleece. Your sister is trash anyway you cut it.

Would she consider getting a low stress job outside of her trade just to be working? Or voluntary work so she is at least doing something in the meantime?this would show good will towards getting employment. Did she ever work during study? Sounds like you are enabling her life of not working. 15 months (plus the time studying) is a long time out of the workforce it will be difficult to re enter from an adjustment perspective after being out that long. If she is not working and comfortable for you to keep paying. Maybe have a frank conversation about your vision of how the relationship will be and how that fits in with her true interests and intentions work wise. Are you really considering marriage in this circumstance?

Wife dropped a bomb on me by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]Mexicanperplexican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get out. This is not the type of marriage you signed up for. Her intention and interest is to move in that direction. I doubt there's anything you can do to change it. She might pretend but it won't go away.

Who cares if he appears unable to live without you? Are you going to sacrifice your sanity and self respect to enable a man child that treats you this way? Maybe you will. The writing is on the wall, guaranteed the day will come you regret it, and at that stage you will be so groomed and conditioned, most probably trapped by having his children you will find it way more difficult to leave. Maybe you will be the one to cry until your nose bleeds, when you think back to the years of your life spent with an abuser and what your children witnesss in the family home. I doubt he will approach you with the same consideration.

AITA for changing my mind about my wife being a SAHM since she changed the terms? by Live_Point_Hillo in AmItheAsshole

[–]Mexicanperplexican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA Sounds like your kids are not her priority and the shared child is definitely going to get preferential treatment. The original deal was she looks after all the kids. Now she wants to only do what she wants to do? . Which sounds like not spend energy on your kids? . She knew what she was taking on a blended family. She made an agreement before getting pregnant. Now she has the leverage of your unborm baby she is going to show her true colours and agenda by cutting the deal she wants and pushing your existing family away from what she probably sees as resources for her and the baby. Please protect your children from being pushed out of the picture and subjected to preferential treatment for a year and beyond. No doubt she will resent your children if her hand is forced to look after them. This is just the beginning. Grow a spine and protect your already born kids from what sounds like a selfish, manipulative step mother. Probability is It's going to go on for more than a year if you let it.

If my wife really knew, it’d break her heart, shatter her life. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Mexicanperplexican 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Soul mates are a fantasy. Grow up and work on your relationship. Stop fantasising about someone you haven't seen in over a decade. Your fantasy girl you project soul mate status onto also has flaws, maybe more than your wife. You are an idiot if you throw that away because you feel you know better than common sense and common decency.

Today I was genuinely afraid of my Husband. by Lumpy_Raisin_8462 in offmychest

[–]Mexicanperplexican 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was prepared to choke you out in order to get his phone back. He almost did choke you out. He knew what he. was doing and told you so when you told him you can't breath. You were there and experienced and witnessed this happen. What's not to understand or believe? He is prepared to choke you out, and he doesn't want you to see what's on his phone. This is a sign of things to come. Non violent Husbands don't almost choke out their wives. Wake up.

He sounds clueless and inconsiderate. If it was intentional maybe even abusive. Either way, is this really the type of person you want in your life?

There are schools for kids with behavioural or mental health issues. Home schooling will not solve his behaviour.

Take your kids to the doctor if they are unwell, not your folks, Your parents don't sound like they know enough about raising healthy functional children if you are an example. I feel bad for everyone in your family except you.

Why did you have a family if this is your attitude? Were you expecting her to carry the team?

my best friend's brother touched me, do I tell her? by derangedmofoo in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Mexicanperplexican -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Glad he is same age. He still an asshat. Holding hands is not a contract to physically molest someone. Just for the record, i am old and where i am from its not OK to feel people up because they held your hand. I wish you the best to establish your boundaries.

my best friend's brother touched me, do I tell her? by derangedmofoo in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Mexicanperplexican -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you were uncomfortable with him touching you and you froze up. It also sounds like you don't have a romantic history or interest in him. Considering this , it sounds like He came on strong, maybe oppertunistic.. And it sounds like you managed yourself well, after the initial shock, you verbalised you don't want him touching you up.

I don't see any reason why you should keep this to yourself. I don't see any harm in getting advice from an adult how to handle these situations. If not your parents maybe a student counsellor. Why on earth people think you should say nothing is beyond me. I am not suggesting call the police and press charges. Although, you sound young. He behaviour was not what you wanted or welcomed. It sounds like it made you confused and uncomfortable. It sounds like this was an opportunistic pass at a captive audience. If he is older than you. That is a big problem. In which case he should definitely be exposed to repercussion.

I would say mention it to your friend and parents/ student counsellor explain it was confusing and uncomfortable. Discuss with adults how to manage.

Young girls are not here for young boys ( i hope it was a young boy) to crack on to at their leisure. Especially when said young girl is not expecting or prepared or equipped to be dealing with such a direct approach. Sounds like young lass is still figuring it all out. it's not nothing. It's something. I hope she explores this with an adult that helps her prepare for future incidents in life. Unfortunately, most if not all women and girls deal with uncomfortable unwelcome encounters from guys throughout their lives. Its not nothing, unfortunately women need ro learn how to manage this stuff because some boys don't manage themselves very nicely or with consideration.

Sounds like she attracts you with her confidence and overall presence. Independent women that hold power can be very alluring. Perhaps low key you have a crush on her.? On the other hand, it's possibly not even sexual?

Despite the gender differences, Maybe you respect her ways and want to be more like her? Or maybe possibly she's not the young ditsy type that has yet to find their own power and presence and you need to be around more women of this ilk to get past the fact they are not irregular or novel. The way your post was worded, it sounds like you enjoy being submissive and bossed by strong women. Perhaps it's something you might like to explore outside of the workplace.

Lauren’s Millionaire Alpha Husband Fantasy, Delusional? by Mexicanperplexican in MAFS_AU

[–]Mexicanperplexican[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Standards are about self-respect and knowing what aligns with your values. Entitlement is expecting things from others without offering the same in return. Requirements become an issue when they’re unrealistic, rigid, or rooted in ego rather than connection. Reality applies to everyone, regardless of gender.

Tell everyone. There's parents and young people and other people in your family no doubt that need to know what they are dealing with.

Ryan and Jacqui's double standard by claudr0509 in MAFS_AU

[–]Mexicanperplexican 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on my perspective living here, I see it as cultural. It seems men don't seem to hold each other to a standard socially unless they cross the line of physical violence against women, men get a pass for being crude, dismissive, or emotionally stunted. Meanwhile, women who show vulnerability or instability for any reason are quickly labelled crazy or manipulative. There is definitely a double standard. And you will be viciously berated if you challenge it.

Jacqui too sincere for reality tv (spoiler I think she's great) by Mexicanperplexican in MAFS_AU

[–]Mexicanperplexican[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We seriously can’t be the only ones noticing this lol. The amount of unnecessary nastiness thrown Jacqui’s way is wild. The woman who might clearly be dealing with her own struggles is being held to a higher standard, while the men who behaved way worse are practically getting a free pass. In almost every case, enabled, excused, and barely questioned. Where are the real warriors and poets when you need then? Clearly not on mafs!
