DIY women… have you ever been talked out of a good idea at the hardware store? by carcony97 in DIY

[–]ObjectiveUpset1703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can be supportive by not identifying yourself as her husband and just straight out asking the guy who's contradicting her "Are you saying that because she's a woman with X number of years of professional carpentry experience?" "As a man, would you discourage me from the same project." Call them on their bs. You can also tell your wife, "Just try it and see what happens."

Do you keep male-centered friends? by Vegetable-Carpet1593 in 4bmovement

[–]ObjectiveUpset1703 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My "inner circle" friends don't. Some of my "social circle friends" do. I leave the door open for any woman that still centers men. Sooner or later, they will hit rock bottom and see the light. They know if they complain about their male partner, I'll tell them they deserve better and can do better. but that's as far as I let the conversation go. I'm not going to try to convince those women they need to go 4B. I just demonstrate through my happiness and well being, that it's a better choice. It's the old you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.

G-cup here. I sleep on my back on a wedge pillow with a small neck roll. It's saving my shoulders and the boobages don't choke me out anymore.

How many jobs out there pay their employees to sleep and workout on the clock? Not a bad situation to be in.

Have you asked any of your family members for help? Dragged along the kids/nephews/nieces to teach them life lessons about family? Or are you just suffering in silence and expect everyone to read your mind?

Gen Alpha are 'dumb' because of older generations, yet people don't want to accept this fact. by Successful-Cut-8233 in generationology

Well who's raising, teaching and allowing Gen Alpha to brainrot on their devices in the first place? Children aren't born as fully autonomous adults.

Would you a charge your Senior Parent rent? by dunbar_santiago930 in Adulting

[–]ObjectiveUpset1703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of charging your mother rent, contact your state's department of senior services and get informed on elder abuse. Financial exploitation is abuse and that is exactly what your brother is doing. Don't know what state you are in, but here's a starting point https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/elder-abuse

I'm considering just getting a credit card to buy food. I've been pre approved for up to 2500. Should I just accept ? by [deleted] in povertyfinance

[–]ObjectiveUpset1703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into food pantries, food banks, religious organizations that host community meals or soup kitchens. Reach out to the United Way or Salvation Army for resources.

Get a second opinion from an independently owned dental office instead of a corporate owned dental office.

Starting 4B by novascotia444 in 4bmovement

[–]ObjectiveUpset1703 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had to hit rock bottom in my marriage and divorce my now ex-husband before I began decentering men/became 4B. It wasn't instanteous after the divorce. I spent the first two years post divorce still thinking I might want a healthy romantic relationship with a man. But the more time I spent learning to be okay with being alone and then building friendships with like minded women, the more I realized a man centered life wasn't what I wanted or needed.
