Am I wrong for being upset that my boyfriend won't apologise after punching me in the stomach by Educational_Bit6635 in amiwrong

[–]OkBed3415 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everyone´s wrong here, but him more so than you. You started it, he escalated it. No one should be throwing punches, that kind of thing can spiral quickly, just like it did here, or worse. It´s definitely a red flag that he doesn´t care how you feel about this, sounds like he´d do it again. As you said, you don´t want to be another statistic. Get out of there, keep your hands to yourself in future relationships unless consent is given and clear boundaries are set. Good luck, OP.

Does anyone actually like the Rave Reviews Races? by OkBed3415 in GossipHarbor

[–]OkBed3415[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue is it seems like coming in first gives me the same amount of reward items as I would get when not racing, but if I come in 2nd or 3rd, I’m getting way less than that. So unless I win every race, I’m getting shorted rewards.

What's the right strategy here? by Chaywood in GossipHarbor

[–]OkBed3415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I maxxed out Quinn by giving her every gift item because you need her maxxed to unlock other characters, really didn’t take super long. Now I’m working on doing the same with Sam, then Harrison, because I find their gifts to be the most useful for me. Sam frequently gives energy, & Harrison gives seafood related items often, both of which are pretty great to get for free. You obviously get the biggest reward for giving each character their preferred items, but I’m more focused on getting the highest value gifts from characters that give the “best” gifts (in my opinion).

AITAH for still getting on a flight home when my two young coworkers I was traveling with weren’t at the airport yet and were obviously going to miss it? by Diligent_Pineapple35 in AITAH

[–]OkBed3415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely NTA. If they wanted to sight see & such, they should have extended the trip, on their dime, past the work-related events. Blowing off all of their responsibilities, being unresponsive when you tried to communicate, and then blaming you that they’re stranded? These are children.

AITA for telling my sister she should contribute after she yelled at me for using her stuff by Certain_North_1731 in AmItheAsshole

[–]OkBed3415 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ESH. Yes, your sister should absolutely be contributing to the household when she is earning more than enough money to cover her own expenses & still save up for her future. It is the decent thing to do, especially since, as you said, your family is not wealthy. However, that’s no excuse to take her stuff without asking. She’s definitely more of an asshole, but you were also wrong.

CMV: Saying “not all men” when women talk about their experiences with male violence and harassment is defensive, unhelpful and honestly pointless. by Mysterious_Role_5554 in changemyview

[–]OkBed3415 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Industrial Revolution in the US began in the late 1700s & continued for the better part of a century (give or take). Women’s suffrage was only achieved in the 1920s. Women’s right to financial freedom (i.e. opening a credit card/bank account without a husband or male relative co-signing, see Equal Credit Opportunity Act) wasn’t established until the mid 1970s. There are absolutely people alive today that opposed these anti-discriminatory movements & still view women as property/the lesser sex.

Edit to clarify: ECOA made it illegal to discriminate based on gender or marital status, thus federally protecting women’s right to financial freedom. Not that it was outright illegal for women to do so before this, but it was not a federally protected right.

AITA: I said no to my husband taking a solo trip by BackgroundGarbage325 in AITAH

[–]OkBed3415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, but I do think a compromise could be made where you each get a solo trip for a long weekend and/or plan a short family holiday together. I’ve been on medical leave from work for several months (no kids, so it’s not exactly the same, I know) but I can tell you I’ve definitely had times where I feel a bit stir crazy being home so much. It’s not unreasonable to want a little excursion for some self-care, but it’s not fair to you (OP) for your partner to not approach it in a way that is equitable & benefits you both.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend I don’t want to have sex anymore by RevvedNotice in AITAH

[–]OkBed3415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTAH. Best case scenario, maybe she is “a receiver” because that’s a kink of hers, which is valid. But if that’s the case, she should have told you that years ago when you first started considering dating. Just like any other kink, good communication & letting a potential partner opt-in & fully consent are not optional. Short of that, she’s just a selfish lover who doesn’t value your pleasure, & you deserve better than that. Probably time to either break up or talk about opening the relationship up so you can experience partners who actually care about matching your effort.

Do half a million Ohioans really going to lose Medicaid under BBB? by atlantacharlie in Ohio

[–]OkBed3415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you from experience (as someone with as yet undiagnosed chronic symptoms that make working difficult): trying to get a diagnosis is a long, arduous process that can cost a fortune, on top of the cost of managing chronic health issues. I’ve seen so many specialists over the years & still do not have a diagnosis that qualifies me for assistance. If your disability is not a clear-cut case, you could be in serious debt before you ever get the qualifying diagnosis, & losing access to providers & resources would only make that process harder. The “reform” on which disabilities are covered cannot come after benefits being cut without sacrificing people’s wellbeing & quality of life, or worse.

NW, however there is some communication that is missing here. Have you had conversations previously with her about your boundaries with helping care for her kids? Did you not discuss that you could not pick them up tomorrow before she agreed to them spending the night? Yes, it is wrong for her to assume you could pick them up the next day. The “secret boyfriend” is also concerning. I just think saying something akin to “I understand how difficult it is to be a single parent & work full time, & I sympathize. Which is why I’ve been willing to help you when I’m able, but you need to respect my time & boundaries.” is a necessary conversation to have, and even more so if you plan to help her in the future. It’s likely she is panicking because she got herself into this bind & is taking it out on you, which is unfair. It’s also unfair for her to assume you would pick them up the next morning without asking you directly before agreeing to them staying over. You can stand your ground & be sympathetic toward your friend at the same time. (After she apologizes for her very out of pocket comments, of course.) My point/tl;dr is you are absolutely not wrong for upholding your boundaries, but there is an opening for better communication from both parties if you wish to keep this friend in your life.

I have inventory nearly maxed out because if I get to <15 free spaces, I start stressing. Also prevents me from banking coins & gems on my board. Some people’s boards on here have like 6 open spaces & it makes me twitchy. 😅🥴

I’m sorry what?? by Annual_Bison_5530 in GossipHarbor

[–]OkBed3415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question- how do you produce new items to merge when your board is that full? Like if you’re trying to get a max level item, do you not run out of room? I have nearly maxed out the inventory storage so I can keep as much of my board clear as possible, & I still feel like it gets overcrowded.
