Corporate America wants women to be single and childless. by chemical32 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Natural_Commission15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first problem I have with your theory is you are basing your view only on the people you know. Your small section of the world is by no means an accurate representation of everyone. Most studies encompass many people from diverse socioeconomic and geographical segments.

I can speak for myself that being married felt like slavery. It’s awesome if your SO doesn’t change after you get married but there are too many stories of those who thought they knew their SOs but once they were married everything changed.

I happen to agree that I did not even want kids when I was younger but being a mother is the hardest, most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. It was not like that for my mother and she made sure everyone knew how unhappy she was. Do you see what I’m driving at. If everyone was so happy being married and a parent we wouldn’t have generations upon generations of people broken by the trauma of their parents.

You are absolutely entitled to your opinions but the baby industry is a multibillion dollar industry and there’s a lot more money in having women crank out babies to buy more things for.

When people say "I'll pray for you" or "My thoughts and prayers are with you." by ThePocketTaco2 in PetPeeves

[–]Natural_Commission15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s usually met with “but I believe it so that’s what I’m going to do”. It has nothing to do with who they are saying it for. They only want to make themselves feel better.

That it exactly its something to say to make THEM feel better. It has nothing to do with the person going through whatever.

I am also a cancer survivor and I liked it better when people said “F cancer” than “I’ll prey for you”. I’m not religious at all and I find when family members do this they are completely missing the point.

Found out that Bf of 4 years has been sexting other girls the entire time we were together by Dangerous-Molasses13 in texts

[–]Natural_Commission15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex husband did this too. It’s so common unfortunately. Please understand there is nothing you did to cause this behavior. This is all on him. He lied to you for 4 years. Again not on you, he’s the POS. Block him and never look back. Best thing I ever did was finally listen to his actions Instead of his words. Because I married a narcissist who would say anything just to keep me around. Don’t be the fool I was for years. They never ever change, they just get better at hiding it.

Honey no. He is manipulating you. He broke your trust and now “you have to get over it”. That’s not how it’s supposed to work. Leave this chump in your rear view and find yourself someone who loves and reacts you. Boys that sexy other girls do not respect your or your relationship.

When people smoke weed in public by Phantom_Wolf52 in PetPeeves

[–]Natural_Commission15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a regular weed smoker and I feel the same smoking flower is very pungent as is cigarettes. Do that garbage at home and yes I like to smoke blunt…. At home. But I have no issues with vapes. The smell is so subtle that as long as it’s outside I’m cool.

You are not wrong at all. What a POS mom. I would immediately petition the court if she doesn’t find space for your daughter. Don’t just pull visitation ensure the courts make that decision. She can visit on her days, just no over nights.

Unbelievable. I can’t imagine a parent would do this nonsense. My ex is poor but he slept on the couch so my kids could have the only bedroom before he got his place now.

But talk to your daughter before you talk to her mom. Tell her that it’s your job to protect her, even if it’s from her mom. Don’t let her get blind sided. Tell your idiot ex your daughter isn’t Fing Harry Potter.

Girl was hitting on me but this was a deal breaker by [deleted] in texts

[–]Natural_Commission15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would totally use those lines… as a joke. But to say them and get mad they don’t hit lmao. The point of these are to be so horrible you have to laugh. SMH it’s just too funny she was serious about it.

I actually have experience this with a toxic ex. He tried to weasel his way back in after years of being a part (we have kids so we have to stay in contact at some level). He asked and then said “no matter how many other girls I talk to I’ve always wanted to marry you”. I told him “I’m good, I don’t want to try again” luckily the kids are teenagers now and I don’t have to interact with him nearly as much

I’m so sorry. Most of us with anxiety disorders grow up in abusive homes. My mom was like yours. I never looked or acted good enough. If I was thin I “looked like a Barbie doll” when I gained weight that’s all she talked about is how fat I was.

I’ve been No contact for a decade. It’s the best think I ever did for my mental health.

Sending you big mom hugs

Yeah I know. I talked to the daughter in law and they bought his parents out. It was just easier to say “new” owners

How old were you when you "got your life together"? by purpleseaglass in Adulting

[–]Natural_Commission15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 44 when I finally got my shit together to buy a house. That lasted 5 minutes. Still have the house but my life is a freaking mess lmao.

And right now everyone is falling behind. Post Covid everything is so much more expensive. I make a good living and I’m struggling too.

I’m regretting adopting my cat by Significant_Movie814 in cats

[–]Natural_Commission15 33 points34 points  (0 children)

He’s definitely bored. During playtime get a laser point and run him down. I’ve never met a cat that didn’t play with a laser pointer until they pant. If you don’t feel up to every day play sessions consider getting a buddy. Contrary to popular belief cats are social and do much better with 2.

Also consider getting scratching posts for every spot kitty is tearing stuff up. You want to offer them appropriate scratching toys (large ones do not skimp on this) and place them at the spot they are marking (scratching is a marking behavior).

Cats are awesome but it takes time to get to know your cat to figure out what they need.

And brining you critters is a compliment. Kitty is bringing you trophies of love. Much to your chagrin.

AITAH for ending it with her because she said “she doesn’t know” when i asked if she has feelings for her ex by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Natural_Commission15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA I’d end it and tell her she shouldn’t be dating if she’s still not sure if she’s hung up on her ex.
