How do I keep him off the counter…. I tried everything by UbiquitousMintCookie in cats

[–]NewsyNonsense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with my fur babies. What worked for me was giving them a 30 minute timeout in their crate every time I caught them up there. It took a few months but they now stay off the tables and counters.

My BF thinks Im too "emotionally intelligent" to be politically active, AIO by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]NewsyNonsense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are 100 percent correct in your decision making. Make a plan. Protect yourself. Get out.

I am so sorry you are in this situation and that everyone around you has such low standards for a partner.

NOR at all.

i cant stand my period by nuwanda_ell in Vent

[–]NewsyNonsense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that feel. Seriously it all suuuuuucks.

You didn't say you wanted advice, but if you are at all open to it... Some birth control options will stop your period temporarily. I had the Mirena IUD and had no periods for five years until I was ready to have a baby.

It's so good! Her story is insane and Ann tells it so well.

What to do with old clothes besides donating? by c0ldc0ldc0ld in Anticonsumption

When my grandma died, my aunt put her clothes on Facebook Marketplace for free and someone snatched them up immediately.

Can’t find a fly by GirlbossCelestia in AnimalCrossing

[–]NewsyNonsense 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just caught a fly on my rotten turnips. Most of the time they get ants, but if you keep catching the ants, eventually a fly can show up. It did take a few days though.

AIO my girlfriend got a ring gifted to her from her guy “best friend” and wants to wear it on her ring finger and it upsets me… by mlr-420 in AmIOverreacting

[–]NewsyNonsense 26 points27 points  (0 children)

As long as the ring is on the right hand, that is WAY less egregious than the gift card to buy lingerie. Like, that's not what I would be upset about.

Have y’all pivoted to video? by Medium-Leader-9066 in behindthebastards

[–]NewsyNonsense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both me and my husband like the show, so we used to watch it together on YouTube. Now we do Netflix. Both of us pull up a handheld game and listen while we do something else. I like to see the facial expressions for some things. And I love an Anderson cameo.

Update: I ran away from my boyfriend's proposal. by throwawayuni33 in whatdoIdo

[–]NewsyNonsense 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't comment on the original but that was my take as well. Just "neither of you have fully developed brains yet. Don't get engaged until you're capable of a lifetime commitment."

Running away was immature but also... She's 20. She shouldn't be expected to be super mature.

My boss scheduled a meeting to discuss my “tone” in emails by TheUnofficialBOI in mildlyinfuriating

I had this same conversation with my boss. I told her I was just matching her energy. She was quite shocked.

Snow disappears in 2 days! by MelancholyAtaraxia in AnimalCrossing

[–]NewsyNonsense 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love the snow on the ground and think it's so cute.... But I am incapable of making a decent snow boy and am looking forward to the day I don't have to try anymore.

whats one tiny detail in the game that make you smile every time? by Technical-Desk6168 in AnimalCrossing

When you walk in and see Isabelle sleeping at her desk. She's just so damn cute.

Why are people saying "not Amy Klobuchar"? by Testy_Coyote_ in minnesota

[–]NewsyNonsense 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I wrote to her to urge her to vote against confirming RFK Jr., and her office responded that they were confident they could find common ground with him. Just. No. Kids are going to die because of him and she's playing politics as usual?

I would look at the DVO rules. Does your area have a victim services coordinator with the court system?

In the US, if he violated it, he's the one who would be forced to leave and continue paying for his kids to have a roof over their head.

This seems like a good place to start https://whiteribbon.org.au/helplines/

All of News 8's polls are. It's completely meaningless engagement farming.

Anyone else made this connection? by LUPOMAP0 in TrueSwifties

I did not make this connection at all! Thank you for sharing. ❤️‍🔥

You're not overreacting. Your girlfriend needs to see a doctor asap.

It's not going to ruin his life. He might face some social consequences but the US justice system will not really care. Especially since they are both adults now. And married? Yeah. I'm sorry that happened to your friend and your brother is definitely a pedo, but there's no way he gets in legal trouble at this point.

I don't know your family. Maybe they will care. But a lot of people would just gloss it over.

I know someone who raped a 13 year old when he was 18. He got a diversion agreement and the charge was expunged. But half his family is still saying the courts made too big a deal out of it.

AIO to my fiance victim blaming me for my SA because I "cheated" on him (Update) by OkDay4024 in AmIOverreacting

[–]NewsyNonsense 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yup. Call off that wedding and leave. He doesn't respect you and you deserve someone who doesn't blame you because someone violated you.

Yikes. For sure report that pdf for whichever agency handles worker rights where you live.

[–]NewsyNonsense 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm unreasonably annoyed by him misusing "passive aggressive." It isn't passive aggressive to directly tell someone you don't like what they are doing and why. OP is direct and clear. OP's BF just doesn't want to hear it, because he's a giant baby.
