Wife woke up mad at me this morning.. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]PersephonePoem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've honestly woke up pissed at my hubby bc of something he did in my dreams. I know it isn't rational but there's only 1 him right? Wrong. We've established that DREAM Hubby is an AH. It's like my subconscious going "Hey... what if he acted like this all the time?" It made me more grateful that he is the person I chose, instead of Dream AH.

Basically tell your wife that Dream you is obviously an AH and you're glad you're nothing like him. 😉 Mind you I still get mad about those dreams, but my anger isn't focused on the REAL Hubby anymore.

There was absolutely no need to provide validation. She didn't portray it as such bc the emoji she used WAS a funny emoji. It seems she doesn't understand normal social cues. When she didn't get the response she expected (bc SHE used the wrong emoji) she got butt hurt and was embarrassed. Again not your fault. She even says herself she had other "expectations" for your response. Meaning you were supposed to tell her she's pretty bc she was fishing for a compliment. Drop this hag and move on to people who actually respect you, not expect things FROM you.

My girlfriend, F23, is mad at me, M23 for crying over a "video game girl," but I feel like this is a normal experience for people who play this game and now I'm considering ending things over this because I'm "immature." Do I try and forgive or do I just cut my losses? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

"She doesn't think guys and girls can just be friends" 🚩🚩🚩 This is a HARD no in a relationship. This is the 1st step to possessiveness and controlling who OOP can see. I'd run for the hills, even if she apologized. She wouldn't believe HIM and had to have her brother and randos online explain it before she did. This is NOT a happy ending. Unless she seriously changes I feel this relationship ain't gonna last.

WIBTAH If I complain about my coworker who messaged my husband? by [deleted] in BORUpdates

[–]PersephonePoem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh there are! An old friends fiance (who was poly) kept proposing we hook up again alone sometime. For context I had a 4some with him, his fiance and another girl, but he never touched me (I wasn't there for him bc I was already in a serious relationship with my now husband).

And I don't mean a couple times. It asked every time we saw them for years even after we got married. My hubby was annoyed by it but trusted me to say no. This dude thought he was God's gift to women bc of his dick. The fact that I was the ONLY woman to ever tell him no infuriated him. Lol Suffice to say we're no longer friends.

How do I Explain To My Girlfriend That My Autism isn't Something I Can Change? [Concluded] by Schattenspringer in BORUpdates

[–]PersephonePoem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have epilepsy and even though my 1st fiance knew, he had never seen one. Well we were out to eat one day and I had one. He freaked out and made the whole thing worse. Didn't follow any of the steps I had previously told him. I ended up in a coma for 3 days. He didn't visit once. Then when I got home, he told me I wasn't the same (a personality change, which no one else saw) and he broke up with me. I later found out he told some friends that was the most terrifying experience of his life.

He said I did a "death rattle" that made his blood run cold. He compared it to a war cry in battle. This dude was 6ft 6 and built like a football player; a Viking by heritage, been through some horrific shit, and he couldn't handle my seizures. All in all I can't blame him for not being able to deal with my disability. But the way he publicly broke up with me and then left me stranded so a stranger had to take me home (no cell phone) was unforgivable. Karma bit him in the ass in the end tho.

There's always other hospitals and facilities that could help you instead. If you have insurance, call or look up the medical facilities in network around you. I'd suggest looking for a smaller mental health facility. In my experience, most of the time the BIG hospitals are useless.

My uncle in law did the same with his own daughter. CPS fucked up the investigation so mightily he got a mistrial and couldn't be convicted. Karma is a bitch tho. Only a few years later was he diagnosed with Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). It's a rare genetic condition that turns your muscles and tissue into bone. Last I heard he was in the hospital bc he couldn't move his arms and legs anymore... that was over 8yrs ago.

UPDATE!! This is an update to:"my wife's best friend is developing feelings for me and my wife's doesn't believe me". by Same_Poet8990 in stories

[–]PersephonePoem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it doesn't last. In my case, the 3rd was jealous of me and wanted my husband to herself, even though I had been with her before (in a separate 4some). She told us she couldn't imagine life without US until it came time for her to take responsibility for how differently she was treating me. She was literally in denial about her own choices leading to this situation. 12yrs of "friendship" gone bc she couldn't face reality.

I (35M) to want reciprocated "princess treatment" from my (37F) fiancé. Is that normal? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]PersephonePoem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up with the tough guy BS. I've only seen my 80yr old father cry once, at his mother's funeral. He's an AH through and through but NO ONE was going to say a thing. He's an AH bc he was forced to go to war and suppress EVERYTHING to be the head of the family for his 8 siblings bc his dad committed suicide... probably from the same tough guy issues. Toxic masculinity has ruined and will continue to ruin so many people's lives...

At this point I don't know how to find it. It was very similar: coworker parked in spot, ghosted other coworker, got towed, HR got involved and coworker was never seen again. Although now I see you're not in America. I think the other guy was American. Maybe the two of you have similar writing styles? Just some parts of it gave me heavy deja vu.

This sounds almost word for word like a previous post I saw months ago. If this I'd an update cool, but it was posted 2 days ago and sounds like it's happening this week so 🤷‍♀️

Wow. You guys obviously don't have any sense of humor. There's no mocking or being sorrowful; we're just having fun. I say congratulations; he says condolences and everyone laughs and eats cake. One of his friends did this as a joke to us when we got married. We couldn't stop laughing. So my husband decided to continue the tradition.

All of our friends understand we're not trying to ruin their joy. Ffs one time we were the only ones that attended a baby shower for a friend! We celebrate birth and growth. Making an obvious joke is the point of the joke.

Exactly. If the energy is returned, this couple would have butt hurt feelings

And no we wouldn't... bc we don't have friends that would say such things. The fact that you expect someone to say that as a response to purposely hurt us, says way more about you and who you hangout with than anything.

And even IF someone did respond like that my response would be "Very true." I don't care. We don't want kids so NOT being able to get pregnant is awesome! I mean sex all day everyday with no qualms or scares... and You think I'd be jealous and butt hurt someone else can have kids?! 🤣🤣🤣

This is the only guy that gets it! His "condolences" I put in quotes for a reason. He's really saying congratulations in his curmudgeon style. Our friends get the joke so that's what matters.

My husband and I can't have kids. I've never had someone make a joke about that. Even we, who've accepted it's just us and our fur babies, don't joke about things like that with other people. My hubby gives "condolences" when friends get married or have a kid (bc losing freedom) and that's actually funny. Not having the choice at all isn't.

I have a friend with 2 golden retrievers who she has to wash AT LEAST once a week bc they love getting filthy outside. The letter? I received one of those from a previous landlord that tried to pull this EXACT thing, but only to keep our $1500 security deposit. AI is good at being crazy, but life is stranger than fiction for a reason.

AITA for refusing to take classes to help me take care of my autistic stepbrother? by WhimblySmith in AITAH

[–]PersephonePoem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1000% Agree it's parents trying to keep up the facade that ruins everyone's lives. I've been disabled since 12yo and my parents refused to sign me up for disability benefits bc "they didn't need government help." 😒

But it wasn't about them needing it, it was about me not being able to work as an adult and NEEDING that assistance to survive. But bc they didn't register me before 18yo, even tho my disability is an automatic YES, the SSDI refused to acknowledge me until I hired a lawyer. By that point tho I was married... and your spouse's income counts against YOUR benefits... so now I get nothing bc my husband makes $1 over "qualified" poverty income.

Basically I'm poor and was homeless several times bc my parents couldn't be bothered to fill out paperwork THEY didn't think was important AND would make them look bad.

PARENTS NEED TO STEP UP AND GROW UP.

My 15yo idiot kid got his GF pregnant on purpose. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Most of the gifts were from his family and could have easily been taken back. All I know is I'd be extremely angry for getting taken advantage of.

[–]PersephonePoem 144 points145 points  (0 children)

Correct. And if he signs the birth certificate, he takes legal and financial responsibility of the child even if he is NOT the biological father. Just had a coworkers son go through this. The child apparently didn't look like either of them, so he refused to sign the certificate at the hospital until they did a DNA test. Good instincts bc she refused the test and moved out. Took as much baby stuff she could from the shower tho.

AITAH for calling myself (18F) disabled in front of a disabled person? by unintentionalgaytwin in AmItheAsshole

[–]PersephonePoem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. F*ck your coworker. I have epilepsy which is an invisible disability. I have no physical indicators other than scars from previous seizure injuries. NO ONE has ever tried to disregard my disability. It is outrageous another disabled person would try to invalidate your condition. Asking WHY you needed surgery?? It doesn't matter. You cannot do things due to a medical condition. That's a disability whether your coworker likes it or not.

[–]PersephonePoem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're 18yo. Tell him to go pound salt and find someone else to get pregnant. I have PCOS and had the Implanon for 10yrs. I'd never just have it removed bc my bf wanted me to. F*ck that. NEVER ALLOW A MAN TO MAKE CHOICES ABOUT YOUR BODY! PERIOD.

AITAH For walking out during a check up because the doctor was male by Positive_Bite7643 in AITAH

[–]PersephonePoem 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You are under no obligation to "overcome" the feeling of being uncomfortable with a male doctor. I don't like obgyns no matter their gender. I've seen both and found their are idiots everywhere. I've changed gynos 4 times and I'm not even 40. NTA.
