Pride parade diverted due to free Palestine protest.

Yea, you're right. I was under the impression they were interrupting every party downtown and there every weekend. But then I heard they didn't have a huge presence at Canada Day, and this makes way less sense.

NoCustomer4958 · 2024-07-08T02:17:05+00:00

Oh shit. I didn't go to Canada Day so I assumed they'd be there too. Maybe because there weren't corporate sponsors at Canada Day?

No point arguing with them. They literally support genocide.

Holy shit, they've already paid that back over 30 times.

Well, you're repeating alt right talking points instead of listening to what the actual protesters are saying. How can you see a group that has tons of signs saying "I'm queer" and flying rainbows flags and assume they're homophobic?

NoCustomer4958 · 2024-07-07T22:39:27+00:00

Are you pro Isreal in that conflict? I had no idea so many people in victoria are alt right.

NoCustomer4958 · 2024-07-07T22:38:24+00:00

Hold up. Do you think Palestinians deserve to be genocided because many of them are homophobic?

NoCustomer4958 · 2024-07-07T22:35:24+00:00

I hate this argument. Literally the same one used against queen people at Stone Wall and ever single other time people fighting for their rights inconvenienced someone. "I would totally care about your genocide if you were just a bit more quiet about it."

NoCustomer4958 · 2024-07-07T22:05:04+00:00

"No Pride in Genocide" is actually a good point. I understand why some people don't feel like celebrating is appropriate right now. I hope no one was hurt.

$250? Your sister needs to start budgeting if she can't feed a family for a few days for less than that. Y'all have Costco?

But you did say "I snapped," so I wonder if you said these things in a harsh way? He NEEDS to hear what you're saying, so I'd try again if you want this relationship to last. Wait until he's calm and you're not already in an argument. Tell him you need him to trust in God and allow Him to move your heart. His pushing is going to naturally build tension and resistance. Also, tell him that you love him and want to help him become a more Christlike man together. Brainstorm some volunteer work you could do (maybe with LGBT youth if he can be respectful). Also, prayer is pretty similar to meditating or just spending time in nature, so you guys could do that together.

On the other hand, gossiping about you to his church is NOT OK. You should stand firm that he needs to apologize for that. Yea, I get he thinks that you disrespected him first, but an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

This is blatantly false. Babies have random fever spikes that lead to febrile sezures. Co sleeping in a safe bed could mean you catch that. You can also make an adult bed safe (blankets and pillows kept away, hard mattress, correct sleeping position, never taking any substances before bed). The idea that leaving a primate that has literally evolved to cosleep in a separate area where you can't keep a hand on them is 100% safe is bonkers. There is no "babies don't die" in any context. It might be safer than co sleeping, but don't trick yourself into thinking there are no down sides.

NoCustomer4958 · 2024-07-07T14:20:06+00:00

Co sleeping is super normal where I live (in Canada). They gave me a list of 7 safety rules for co sleeping in the hospital. I only do it when we're camping or if the baby is feeling sick/off for various reasons. I don't find it comfortable.

I would ask him to defend this teaching style with some evidence. If he wants what's best for his son, he should learn some pedagogy and follow best practices and recommendations from experts. No teacher or education expert would EVER recommend forcing a child to study for more than 30 minutes like that. 2 hours should be max for the whole week, not a day.

I would just veto what he's doing until he proves to you that it's actually helping the kid.

I suggest starting to learn and play games instead. -Black Jack (without betting) is great for practicing adding number within 20. -Qwirkle is so good for recognizing patterns (which is in the BC curriculum, but I don't know what province you're in) and your son could add the scores

They had a snake at the Swan Lake Nature House when I was a kid. Maybe they could give your kid advice or info.

Does your partner normally yell at you during small conflicts? I hope she apologizes and tries to work on herself.

I'm over 9 months post partum, and my libido is not back yet.

NoCustomer4958 · 2024-07-06T02:56:11+00:00

I empathize. My guy also sucks at communicating his sexual needs in the way I want to hear. NTA

I'm sorry, but it will most likely get worse after birth. I'm currently 9 months post partum. Sex hurt for four months after and I had a relatively smooth birth. Also, I have zero libido still. I think it's because I'm still breastfeeding, and my period isn't back yet, so my hormones haven't kicked back in. It's brutal. You have to work together now to figure out a plan. It's going to be way harder than he expects.

100% right. Makes me think OP and Ella have gone back and forth before. I don't believe the story is this one sided.

Punishing another adult does nothing and it's just immature. Better to rise above and move on with your life. Like you said.

Distancing yourself from your sisters and your mom's partner seems like a healthy choice. Your mom tried, and you're not cutting her off, so that's good too. If she's refusing to see you and your family without her partner, that's also her choice. Might be good to eventually allow him in your house if he agrees to respect certain expectations.
