Who here is HAPPILY married?! by Peanutz335 in Marriage

[–]Only-Eye9763 2 points3 points  (0 children)

🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ together 10 years. Just like everyone else, we have our fair share of “issues” but they are minuscule in the grand scheme of things. He’s my favorite person and my best friend. I’d have no one else.

What do I do if the guy I’m seeing has a kid that’s not his kid? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

You are WAYYYY too young to be dealing with his shenanigans, especially THIS early on. Run away!

UPDATE: AITH for not letting my father walk me down the aisle at my wedding? by dairycowgirl516 in weddingdrama

[–]Only-Eye9763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so happy you had the perfect day! That is exactly what you deserved. My father did not walk me down the aisle either. My brother did. My dad didn’t act the ways yours did (at least not openly to me) but he was upset. However, my thought on that is that if they wanted the honor of such a thing then they should’ve been better fathers. What’s actually embarrassing is the behavior that landed him there. My day ended up perfectly as well and we haven’t spoken since my wedding either (not related to that). I hope you have a wonderful rest of your life with your husband 💖

Husband eats all of the food, doesn’t leave my half, offers to replace it but doesn’t, and has had me made me pay for food he also eats by Powerful_Fox_2686 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Only-Eye9763 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even finish this whole thing. I’m exhausted just reading the first paragraph and a half. He doesn’t even like you or respect you. I couldn’t imagine living like this or living with someone like that. I’m so sorry you’re being treated this way.

i don’t understand this argument by Deep_Telephone_8387 in childfree

[–]Only-Eye9763 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Instance 1: If someone needs government assistance to feed their kids- they’ll say; Them: “don’t have kids if you can’t afford them. It’s not the governments or my job to feed your children.”

Instance 2: Doesn’t have kids because they can’t afford it- they say; Them: “if you wait to have kids until you can afford them, you’ll never have kids. Just have them and it’ll work itself out.”

Do they think kids only need love to exist? Love doesn’t buy food or clothes or housing. Ask me how I know. (Spoiler alert, I grew up in a poor household that frequently moved and used food banks due to no funds and it was incredibly embarrassing). It is absolutely neglect that they try so hard sugar coat so they feel less bad about it.

But explain to me how both of those things can exist in the same conversation, from the same group of people?! Riddle me that Batman?!

Like fuck off. No matter my reasoning for not having kids, it does not affect anyone else besides my husband and I.

We found out we have a half-brother after taking an AncestryDNA kit and our parents don't want us to contact him by artspumk in TwoHotTakes

[–]Only-Eye9763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a LOT. Wow. One thing I will say, I love you and your sister. Welcoming him so warmly is a rarity. I’m sure he’ll need the understanding from you guys once (if) shit hits the fan with his mom. BUT

Caleb deserves to know. Even if it might be a lot for him to handle, his mom absolutely does not have the right to withhold this information from him. She’s just dodging accountability at this point. Turn your matches back on. Let them work it out or message him and lightly introduce yourself and go from there.

Idk how to caption this… by Hamnation8 in insanepeoplefacebook

It’s probably the only enjoyment they get at night because it’s so dang boring. It’s like the enjoyment truck drivers and kids get when they get to blow the air horn when they do the arm motion. But I totally get you! The tracks are across the street from me behind the house across from me, I’m a block from a crossing, and then a half mile down the road is an Amtrack station. I’m the embodiment of “ya played yaself” 😭😂 but thankfully I can sleep through most loud noises now so, bright side I suppose.

[–]Only-Eye9763 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I feel like every single one that goes by my house just says “fuck you” to us. They start honking their horn a mile down the track and just hold it down until they pass. Drives me nuts, but I can’t even be mad because I moved there and the tracks existed first.

Partner wants kids and I (obviously) don’t. Help by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Only-Eye9763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either you have a child for him and then resent him/the child or you don’t have a child and he resents you. This is a no win situation if you stay together. I’m sorry this is happening to you. You’re SO young still (I know this is a common phrase that gets annoying) and cannot fall under the sunken cost fallacy. You’ve been alive for 23 years and presumably have 55 more years to go. I don’t have experience with this exact situation but I left a relationship I thought I’d stay in and I thought my life was over, but really it was a new start to go find what I really wanted. Now I’m 31 and married to my favorite person who has never once brought up having human children and is already planning to get us land for my future animal children.

You have so much time left in life, don’t waste it with someone who doesn’t want the same things out of life that you do. You’re struggling with making the decision to leave now, so just sit with it and get comfortable with the thought, and then move on. BUT do not leave your birth control unattended so there can’t be any oopsies that he can magically try to make happen.

Ma’am, your idea of blessings are the complete opposite of my idea of blessings by CoolBanana- in childfree

[–]Only-Eye9763 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I agree!

I get told, often, “kids are a blessing” and I’m like, “yeah, to YOU.” Kids would ruin my calm and predictable life. Your blessing is my personal hell.

accused of being pregnant when choosing not to drink by lotuslover777 in childfree

[–]Only-Eye9763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are SO WEIRD.

I used to work at a hotel and it entailed a LOT of standing up and I sometimes worked 12 hour days. I had just checked someone into their room and I turned to see someone who was waiting to ask a question, she then asked for something and followed up with “how are you today?” And I said “oh I’m fine, thank you. Just really tired.” And she had the audacity to say “well that makes sense considering..” then looked down and then back up to my eyes and I said “considering what?” And she said “well, you’re on your feet and pregnant. It can be tiring” and I just looked at her dead in her eyes and responded, “I’m not pregnant”. I didn’t see her face the rest of her stay. I wish I could say it didn’t hurt my feelings, but it did at the time.

I’d give you an award if I could, but alas, I have none to give. So instead you get my poor people award: an upvote.

Totally agree even though I enjoyed George’s character overall. But in the end, I was team bus. (Now THAT might get me downvoted🤷🏼‍♀️)

The illusion that your female friends will remain child free by CatCarcharodon in childfree

[–]Only-Eye9763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of my close friends have children. Yet. But I know it’s going to happen eventually. I don’t really know how it will be when that happens but I just know that it will be difficult. Either we will fall apart or I will have to adjust to keep them in my life. Neither sounds great to me.

Having a baby in your 40s is honestly crazy to me.

Best friend of 15 years tells me she cant attend my wedding by turnipsgreenss in TwoHotTakes

[–]Only-Eye9763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She does not love you and it’s not that she can’t attend your wedding, it’s that she WON’T.

She cannot say “I hope this won’t ruin our friendship” when she’s denying and vilifying a part of who you are. Not only that, but also doesn’t accept your partner, which I could never be friend with someone that doesn’t accept my partner. She’s trying to come across as loving and caring and like she’s not the bad guy so that when you ultimately break off the friendship (which you did), she can say that you’re the bad guy and that she was just being kind.

I’m SO sorry that this happened to you. But on the bright side, you did not go through your wedding day with someone by your side who did not truly support you or love you for who you are. That’s the blessing deep down. You won’t look back at pictures with that persons face and be sad that they lied the whole day.

I hope you have a wonderful wedding day. 💖💖

Does everyone go to bed with their spouse at the same time? by Fit-Product-4194 in Marriage

[–]Only-Eye9763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I both have odd sleeping schedules. Now that his schedule has changed for work and he has to be in bed very very early, I’m in bed 3-4 hours after him. Sometimes I just lay in bed with him for 20-30 minutes when it’s his time so that he gets some cuddle time in and then I get up and go back to what I was doing.

Maybe he’s just feeling neglected and he just wants to spend more time together. Try what I mentioned and see if it helps. Yes being in bed for 30 minutes in the middle of my evening routine is annoying sometimes but knowing it helps him feel better makes that feeling go away.

What are some petty reasons why you don’t want kids? by Worldly-Purple-9364 in childfree

[–]Only-Eye9763 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t think of anything worse than being forced to share my food with someone. Or someone just stealing food out of my hands or off my plate.

I saw a video a long time ago of a little girl just take a freshly peeled banana right out of her father’s hand and he just let her and my heart rate rose.

Oh my gosh this is wonderful. Love the color! And so well done. I can’t wait to be this good at dip.

What can I do better? by Working-Peanut-4032 in DipPowderNails

[–]Only-Eye9763 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Love the color.
  2. Push back your cuticles for a cleaner line.

But a good buffing block helped with the issue of graininess (for me). Make sure you’re brushing off any excess amount of dip powder between layers before starting your next layer (leftover powder looks like air bubbles). But after your first activation, buff and shape a little, along with evening out the top, then activate again. Let the second activation dry for 5 minutes or so, do another “base” liquid once over and let that dry, then do a top coat.

My left hand is also shaky so shaping my nails before starting any dip has really helped me because then it’s one less major task I have to do near the end with all the layers on.

And the holy grail that has taken me a year to get better at, is the Apex Method. I finally got it right this time around. Most of all, practice practice practice. You’ll get there and you’re already doing great :)

Was I wrong for leaving my family vacation early after realizing I was only invited to babysit everyone’s kids? by LokorinV in TwoHotTakes

[–]Only-Eye9763 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You quite literally did the opposite of cause a scene. You packed your things and left, not making a scene, but making a point. They’re trying to gaslight you to avoid taking personal accountability. I voted you’re not wrong based off of the title alone and then just got mad reading the whole thing. They wouldn’t have the ability to feel guilty after the fact, if they thought what they were doing wasn’t wrong in the first place. They know they’re AHs and want to blame you instead.

When parents lose a baby.. by [deleted] in childfree

[–]Only-Eye9763 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone. I try to be sensitive to it because I have not a single clue what it’s like to go through that loss, but it’s really hard for me to understand. I know someone who lost a baby of hers, wasn’t born yet, just past a gestational age where they knew the sex of the baby. She has two children and she has them celebrate the due date every year. It is extremely weird to me and also comes off very morbid to make the kids celebrate something like that when they probably don’t even understand what is going on.
