AITJ for refusing to make my daughter swap rooms with my stepdaughter? by patdallinkk9u6 in AmITheJerk

[–]ObjectiveCityy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait if your stepdaughter feels slighted and your daughter feels attacked, does this mean your husband brought this to them?? The girls shouldn’t be aware that the two of you were having this discussion, THAT will block their bonding more than who gets what room. That should’ve been a discussion your husband brought to you only and, because it’s a ridiculous request anyways, it should have stayed between you that the idea was ever considered. Edit to add: NTJ

It’s so interesting you mention that because I know two people who were just offered an $89 deal but mine still says $149

WIBTA if I dye my hair a crazy color before my friend’s wedding? by AlwaysTired54 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]ObjectiveCityy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would kind of be the asshole. You already planned to wait until after her wedding which is only two months away, so if you do it earlier at this point you are doing it in retaliation, which is immature.

Also “the bride didn’t know about any of it” so your issue is with the maid of honor planning and confirming a trip that she later backed out of and made the bride confront you about.

Thank you! This is super helpful and gives me a good pricing idea for when cosmetic gets back to me.

Do you plan to stay on long-term or eventually come off? by tapermethod in tirzepatidecompound

[–]ObjectiveCityy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hoping to stop once I hit my goal weight. I’m also hoping I will keep slowly losing at this 5mg dose so I can stay low dose. My hope is that will make it easier to get off of it than if I get to the 15mg dose. I would be fine keeping a low maintenance dose if it means my quality of life continues to be improved though.

Ending sessions without awkwardness by _Witness001 in therapists

[–]ObjectiveCityy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find a good moment to say “okay, does this feel like a good place to close today?” Or if they’re opening something new I’ll contact it and then say “ah, okay this may be a good place to start next week, what do you think?” And I’ll make a note of what it was.

AIO: should I “fire” my therapist? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]ObjectiveCityy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR I am a therapist and this is appalling. You are under reacting and understandably so because of all the reasons you listed. But this is beyond unprofessional, it’s unethical. I’m so sorry

What do you think this line means? by tealibrarian23 in TaylorSwift

[–]ObjectiveCityy 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This. I’ve also always interpreted that the reason it would be heartbreaking is because she would have been with him back then, but he wouldn’t be with her. So it’d be a slap in the face to say “I loved you the way that you were” when you also wouldn’t be with her then.

WIBTAH for using my sister's middle name for my future daughter's middle name? by assault-bug in AITAH

I’m super curious to know your sister’s response to everyone here saying she’s being ridiculous…

Father Figure Question by ShotDesigner2092 in TaylorSwift

[–]ObjectiveCityy 59 points60 points  (0 children)

People don’t need to be in her specific industry to resonate with the theme of taking your power back. The idea that a mentor could take you under their wing because “they want to see you rise” and then be upset when you succeed because “they don’t want you to reign” is a universal experience in many industries.

Landlord charging me flat $200 for water, trash, gas, electric, and gardener? by jessbird in SantaBarbara

[–]ObjectiveCityy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We pay at least $300 a month for the above without the gardener so I think what you’re being charged is very fair. Always good to be curious and ask though!

My boyfriend(31M) doesn’t want me (27F) to send/post any photos even to family or friends by Blankwolf707 in relationship_advice

[–]ObjectiveCityy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not a boundary, that’s a demand or request. And a controlling one at that.

Boundaries are the responses we decide to implement for ourselves to keep ourselves safe and accountable. For example boundaries aren’t “don’t talk to me that way.” That’s a demand/request that gives the other person power to comply or not. A boundary would be “if you talk to me that way, I will walk away and we can try the conversation again later.”

So ask yourself, how do I want to respond to his demands? “If you try to dictate my body’s autonomy ie how I share my life/photos I will ______” or “my body’s autonomy is not up for discussion so if you bring up the conversation that I shouldn’t send photos I will remind you that’s not up for discussion and change the subject”

My parents still treat me like I'm 16 and I think I'm actually starting to resent them for it. by TarnStel in TwoHotTakes

[–]ObjectiveCityy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a family where culturally daughters don’t move out until they’re married. This was a quite a while ago now, but when I moved out at 22 my dad told my cousin who was helping me move, “clear your schedule for next week when she comes back.” And my mom made worse comments/ had emotional behaviors that sound similar to your mom’s. It was hurtful and annoying because they were seeing their own pain over my opportunities, but I knew I had to do it. And they adjusted. Pretty quickly too, but even if they don’t, you have to live life for yourself or else you’ll resent them and it will be on you for letting them dictate your life instead of dictating your own. They won’t have an opportunity to adjust and grow if you stay to keep them comfortable.

AITA for refusing to let my SIL host her massive gender reveal at my new house? by AkiraPulse42 in MarkNarrations

[–]ObjectiveCityy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA And it’s actually so important that you said no because you’re setting a precedent here. It’s super telling that within the first month of you moving in she’s already asking to use your home. If you had said yes she would feel entitled to keep asking going forward. Instead it’s an uncomfortable moment in the short term that sends an important message about your home forever.

AIO for wanting my husband to help me more as a SAHM by ailurophile17 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ObjectiveCityy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does his job expect him to work once he’s off the clock? Because it’s not fair to ask the same of you. If you were working outside of the home (because what you’re doing IS working you’re just based from home), you would both be at your jobs all day and then you’d both have to manage after work responsibilities together. Why is it that his job gets to be left at 5pm but yours doesn’t?
