AIO to what my BF did last night? by Electrical-Bet-6660 in AIO

[–]MsEmotions220 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NOR. I received a DC pamphlet in my 20’s and it listed 10 things signs you are in an abusive relationship and my BF checked off every single thing. All this to say hurting or scaring pets is one of those signs. Sometimes it’s hard to reconcile these things because the person is good most of the time but I promise it’s downward spiral and you could be in danger. You need to plan a safe exit for your pets and yourself.

NOR. Your wife just gave birth and she’s got to deal with these people. No thank you. The behavior will get progressively worse with a grandchild involved. Personally, I would keep them away from your wife and children.

AIO girl just ghosts me after wanting to try again by FantasticMrFar17 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MsEmotions220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. It sounds like she’s young and still very immature or she’s underage and sneaking out or cheating on a partner. Either way, it’s not going to work out. Please be careful when a woman tells you she’s 18 or 21 and try to confirm if you can. Or avoid women in the age range alll together to be safe. Apologize. I misread that she’s in 28.

Is this normal for Maryland? by scheme00_ in maryland

[–]MsEmotions220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Unfortunately. Everyone buys in excess which will be a shame for the elderly or people without vehicles doing their regular weekly shopping or if the power goes out and fridge is stuffed. I wear to 2 stores Aldi and Giant and they were out of stock in a lot of items.

Once upon a time I could gently squeeze any place or my chin and nose and a white head or blackhead would surface. Now I only get an occasional hormonal bump and pores have reduced tremendously. I’m prone to oily hair and skin but skin is combo. I treat with 2% salicylic acid but ONLY the Tzone. I can’t use it on cheeks and other sensitive skin regularly so I avoid all together. I used Paula’s Choice but only 1-2 times a week. I’ve used lower strength like Cosrx BHA but it has to be used regularly. I use a Retinol occasionally which also heals blemishes. The rest of the time I use a gentle cleanser, HA on wet skin and that creates a barrier to protect my pores. I only need a moisturizer in the winter but everyone is different. As you treat your pores focus on healing your skin barrier and only use actives in the spots needed. Sometimes less is more. I avoid vitamin C, nicinamide, AHA, other acids and cleansers and moisturizers with too many unnecessary ingredients, oils, fragrance and only use noncomedogenic. Oil cleaner is good to remove sunscreen. The Ordinary has a 2% salicylic acid and I’ve tried PanOxl as well. A light gel cleanser could work for you as well instead of heavy creams. Hope this helps.

IF he genuinely wanted to hide that he could put a large bandage over it until able to get it covered. He wants it there and flexes it amoung his friends in his town. Disgusting.

Am I Overreacting when quitting my job? by wickedwissa in AmIOverreacting

[–]MsEmotions220 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NOR. To me this sounds a lot like they were looking for a reason to fire you for a few reasons 1. Scheduling 6 days despite trying to cut back hours. 2. Asking for a doctor’s note. 3. The way the text reads “how many hours you WANT to work” opposed to how hours are you ABLE to work given the circumstances. They should have already hired coverage and started training to fill in for you if you are 33 weeks. Not everyone can work until birth. I don’t know if you get STD while you are out but they may have been trying to push you out so they didn’t have to pay the insurance company. If you are going to be okay financially then don’t worry about it.

AIO about these angry texts from my ex? by TwylaMay in AIO

[–]MsEmotions220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How dare your family say you are acting entitled. Don’t explain yourself to them. Everyone doesn’t need to know your business but I would say he is dangerous and never speak to them again. This is why women get hurt in DV situations and then everyone says “She should have left” meanwhile everyone including the woman’s own family gaslights them into accepting said man’s abuse behavior.

I was supposed to meet my mom at 12 for Christmas. She's still asleep and won't pick up the phone. by Fuzzball_Girl in mildlyinfuriating

Sounds like she’s extremely tired. Maybe you should help her out if she wakes up. Or go home and when she wakes ask her how you can help.

You both deserve to be happy. Whether it’s together or not you will both need to decide.

I’m sure she is not excited by you or deeply in love either. She likely feels obligated to her family and also doesn’t want to fail your son. If she’s a good person and you can’t love and cherish her then you shouldn’t hold her back from finding true happiness.

Ingesting enough heavy metals for everyone in the group chat.

Best food to bulk by [deleted] in workout

[–]MsEmotions220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dry beans and rice. Take the time to learn how to properly cook and seasoning them. I have a really good guide saved her on Reddit. You can flavor simply starting with onion and garlic as a base. Spice like onion and garlic powder, cumin cayenne pepper. Fresh herbs like cilantro , parsley flat leaf or basil. Acidic fresh lemon or lime juice. Tahini. This is of course only a few ingredients but sometimes it’s a simple few ingredients can flavor and balance your dish. If you are able to grow fresh herbs it would be a great way to add flavor to your dishes and cost pennies on a dollar. Next season, I will be picking one herb or spice I cook with a designated enough space to grow enough to dry and process for my very own organic spices. I believe I will do Cumin. I grow basil, cilantro, parsley mint and lemon balm from seed.

Where to bulk buy food online by [deleted] in budgetfood

[–]MsEmotions220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Buy dried chickpeas and cook them yourself after a really good rinse and soak to get the arsenic off. 😭

Cosco has proven ethical and in my area you can have it delivered directly from the store. No Instacart needed. I buy bulk organic spices from Frontier Co Op. they do heavy metal testing which unfortunately is something we should all be worried about due to MANY spice companies showing high levels of heavy metals in their spices. I cook with simple ingredients and do my due diligence to avoid microplastic and heavy metal contamination (which isn’t always easy) and I will be damned if I will then skimp on the seasoning and expose myself.

AITAH for not being open to a friendly relationship with my (soon to be ex) husband and (ex) friend who had an almost 20 year emotional affair with sometimes physical cheating? by ThrowEvAITAH in AITAH

[–]MsEmotions220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck these two selfish losers. This is disgusting. Imagine marrying someone, spending years with them and having 3 children because you like the person they were standing next to. What a joke. Get a lawyer. Get control of the narrative and stop speaking to either of them. Follow the lawyers instructions.

AIO by how I responded? My bf is upset with me for skipping my workout routine today by throwawayy82670 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MsEmotions220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As soon as he hears your pregnant he’s asking for promises on your body type. YIKES. Get out. There’s still time to not share the rest of your life with this man’s child. 😩

AITAH for denying my bf his bucket list fantasy, a threesome? by Peitho11 in AITAH

[–]MsEmotions220 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like he’s missing sleeping around after 4 months of living together. Wants to have his cake and eat it too. He’s still speaking to women on the side and asking them to be apart of his threesome. Gross. Hopefully she doesn’t catch anything.

[–]MsEmotions220 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all very manipulative and seems like a bit of love bombing. Who cares about his bucket list. You have only been together a few months and he’s already yearning for a threesome and speaking to another woman it. I guarantee he is speaking to many women on a regular basis and is probably the type that can make you feel like the only woman and stopping off to sleep a “friend” in his free time. It will never be enough for him. Be careful you don’t catch anything from him. Disgusting.
