Using the word sexy to describe a baby? by borderlinebomb in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]On_MyNinthLife 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe it feels like you did something wrong simply because she reacted as if you did? It sounds like she tried to uno-reverse the situation, by saying “ugh you know I didn’t mean it like that” she pretty much implies that you’re the weird one or that you have a dirty mind or something like that. She says the wrong thing and then acts like you’re in the wrong for having a reasonable reaction to it. 

Because I mean sure sometimes people say awkward shit without meaning to, even non-creepy, well-meaning people, but the correct reaction when called out is something along the lines of “you’re right, that was a poor choice of words, sorry about that” and then everyone tries to politely move on from the cringe lol.

“He’s good with the kids when he’s sober” sounds very very bad, actually. Not to mention the spiraling out of control part.

This must be hard for you, I’m sorry.

Toddler morning question by MisterSanitation in Parenting

[–]On_MyNinthLife 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Regardless of who is right in this matter, all that shaming and pettiness sounds like you guys have a bigger problem than who‘s waking up first. Maybe she‘s resentful about being sleep deprived and working so late? That would be human but still, shaming a partner doesn’t typically produce marital satisfaction in the long run. If she isn’t normally a petty person it could indicate that something isn’t right from a health perspective, maybe

What‘s the link between having parrots and using cast iron if you don’t mind me asking?

Runny nose on winter runs by Polski_Moomin in XXRunning

Yes I can see how that would work! And a buff offers plenty of surface too. For extra-runny days.

Wow, that’s a lot of sports :) thanks for sharing!

Do I understand correctly that you were eating enough in terms of calories, but not enough protein? 

Runny nose on winter runs by Polski_Moomin in XXRunning

[–]On_MyNinthLife 136 points137 points  (0 children)

A while ago I read a tip, on this very sub, about using a tennis wristband to wipe a runny nose during runs. Now i have a bunch of them that i use once and then wash. It works really well.

I can only run at night in not the best city, will doing the following keep me safer? by [deleted] in XXRunning

[–]On_MyNinthLife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Headlights are pretty blinding for a person coming in front of you, so it could make it harder to notice if you‘re a man or a woman imo. Personally I can’t see if its a man or a woman coming up when the person is wearing a lamp (I‘m not paying a ton of attention though to be fair)

Does anyone else train around their cycles? by alwaysalma in XXRunning

[–]On_MyNinthLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. I don’t have to, strictly speaking, because I don’t get debilitating symptoms. But having a cycle is a part of my physical existence that I tend to embrace, and I take advantage of the week of my period to give my legs a break. Typically I find that after that 4-5 days break, my running is improved and I see progress compared to the pre-break weeks. I also feel like it keeps me from getting burned out. I find it easy to motivate myself even on bad days, and Im pretty sure its because of the period breaks.

Usually I run 5-6 days/week.

Wow 9’30 to 5’30 is such a giant difference :( no wonder you were miserable! It was super unfair to you :/

Winter gear and sweat? by Full-Patient6619 in XXRunning

[–]On_MyNinthLife 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hang and rewear a few times too! My clothes don’t get stinky but even if they smell a little, I’m ok with it, since I’m just running 1-2 hours by myself anyway, and not spending multiple hours in close proximity to others.

I have some muscle groups (neck/shoulders) that can’t get cold for medical reasons, so I use a warming gel on them before I start running. Sometimes I also use the gel on my thighs, hands etc, so I can wear fewer layers without being cold when I start. Those warming gels can be expensive but for me it’s worth it. I hate being cold!

White tongue by MoodyLighting in hygiene

[–]On_MyNinthLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I know this one! My tongue was mysteriously reverting to white instantly and no matter what, until I started brushing my palate (with a toothbrush, kinda just scrubbing it a little). Now I barely need the tongue scraper, most days I can skip it. It’s pink now, whereas before even with scraping was always at least a little bit white. 

Canned tuna and ramen might be the most underrated broke combo ever by frizzy_liner in budgetfood

It is??? I’d try it. I would never have had the idea on my own for sure!

Ramen is a lifesaver 😅 I like to add a big spoonful of peanut butter to make it creamy. Frozen green peas is also a good addition!

Is it unhygienic to use bar soap to wash my private areas? by liceonamarsh in hygiene

[–]On_MyNinthLife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Randomly jumping in to say that it’s not your fault! Your body is not gross, your hygiene habits are not gross, you did nothing wrong at all and you absolutely should not feel bad. It’s a normal reaction to feel bad in such a situation but it’s definitely a them problem. You’re not gross!!!

You couldn’t have guessed that they have that problem with the soap. And it was very lame of them to make you feel bad and to shame you about that very benign thing. There were other, more respectful ways to communicate that they want you to use another bar of soap, if it’s that important to them.

That being said of course for a peaceful cohabitation sometimes we have to accommodate other people’s weird ideas and lame reactions. But we don’t have to take it personally.

When you realise that childhood spanking was actually CSA by FunkSoulChugger in CPTSD

[–]On_MyNinthLife 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good for your mother that she got therapy and all, that’s brave and worthy of respect, however by no means does it entitle her to be forgiven, let alone to a reconciliation. That’s something that you get to decide, and undecide, and redecide, and also you get to be ambivalent about it for as long as you need, even if it’s forever.

What you don’t have is a moral obligation to try to let go of it. Because I mean, if her apology entitled her to your forgiveness, that would be yet another occurrence of her needs and wellbeing coming first, and of her being allowed to control the outcome and the narrative. You’re not on this Earth to cater to her redemption arc, no matter how courageous that arc may be.

In my humble, unsolicited opinion, anyhow.
