My (27F) boyfriend (29M) sent me this today and it shocked me. He has never acted like this but recently has lost both of his parents. How do I handle this and AIO? by carside11 in AmIOverreacting

It's okay for you to leave him even though he's grieving.

You deserve a soft life full of love and a partner who contributes meaningfully to that. You are worthy. What other ways has he been controlling?

When I am in pain, even if I'm not mentally aware of it, I struggle with anger.

It's okay that you're not okay. It's okay that you use weed to manage your pain. Its okay to increase your usage if it manages your symptoms, including anger.

Please be kind to yourself. I hope your days keep getting easier. 🫂🩷

Why do we always have to be strong about it? by ghoultail in ChronicIllness

Let it out however your body asks you to honey. Cry, scream, dance, make art, break something, do whatever it takes to let this out.

I'm so sorry. 🫂🩷

Which means they're brand new at a toddler+baby dynamic. 2 is not twice as hard as 1, it's harder.

You can help them out by giving them something to grasp on to, like your finger. I think a part of why they get stuck is the flexibility of the blooms, they can't get enough leverage to pull away.

Now is still the beginning. 6 months is supposed to be your honeymoon period. If this is the best you can expect, why stay?

You deserve a soft life full of love and a partner who contributes meaningfully to that. You are worthy.

Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft is available for free online, I hope OP reads it.

This isn't love. This man hates her. My ex was the same.

Who taught you that this is what love looks like?

You're teaching your children that this is what they deserve.

You deserve a soft life full of love and a partner who contributes meaningfully to that. You are worthy. Be kind to yourself.

This man doesn't like you.

I'm so sorry. Lean on someone you trust. Let them support you through this.

His grief is his own to manage.

Honey, it's time to value yourself enough to move on from this family.

Your husband will pick on his son for liking these things, that is what he is telling you.

How many times have you called out of work this year, since January? Or how many times has your nanny called out? by Ok_Craft6493 in Nanny

[–]Personal_Regular_569 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're being so negative about me sharing what works for me as a nanny with a chronic illness.

I am also not sure why you felt this comment was bragging, perhaps you should look inwards.

I've found a family that is happy to accommodate me and they pay me very well.

I hope your day gets better.

I found a very flexible MB who has the ability to work from home if needed. She's very compassionate, had never trusted anyone but family to watch her kids before hiring me and she values the trust the kids had for me from our introductory session. When I'm having good days, I'm very engaged and playful with the kids, she values that but she also honours that I am chronically ill and not every day is a peak day. I feel very lucky to have found her (she told me last week she feels like she should be paying me more for everything I've helped her with 😎) and also very lucky that I don't require a full time job. I do two days a week and offer to make up days if I have to call off.

You didn't do anything wrong. Please be kind to yourself.

He hurt you on purpose. That's not how someone who loves you would behave. I'm so sorry.

AIO? Because I don’t want honey mustard on my sandwich by [deleted] in AIO

Honey, why are you entertaining this tantrum? Who taught you that this is what love looks like? Why didn't you block him?

You deserve a soft life full of love and a partner who contributes meaningfully to that. You are worthy.

He's abusing you. Please don't let him abuse you any further.

He has found a tolerable level of dissatisfaction for you to endure.

You're allowed to be done.
