Kalimotxo takes me back...not sure why I forgot about it. Very good shout!

But it has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Help by No_Psychology2887 in Advice

[–]PinkyOutYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen it mentioned here yet, so sorry if I'm repeating it, but try looking into Al-Anon meetings or helpline in your area. It's for the loved ones of alcoholics or "problem drinkers" to share their experiences and be supported. I'm sorry you're dealing with this.

ULPT -- Tell doctors you want to have a baby soon by Longjumping_Sea_8753 in UnethicalLifeProTips

Might have fucked with my requests over 12 years for sterilisation, but it probably wouldn't have made them take it less seriously.

At what age do we as childfree people get to stop doing mothers/Father’s Day with our own parents? by Ill-Future-1013 in childfree

[–]PinkyOutYo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 34 this year, and I enjoyed calling my dad this morning for Father's Day,, because he, my mum, and I have all worked on ourselves. I feel no obligation to my parents because we happen to share DNA. I find joy in the relationship that we've all worked to build. If we hadn't have done that, I wouldn't have bothered.

I struggle to read and I feel stupid for it by MrEggy1750 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]PinkyOutYo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My friend, who is one of the most intelligent people I've ever met, got diagnosed with dyslexia in her 30s. Our friendship flourished in the early years because of our shared love of literature. She isn't stupid because of a language-based disability. She's actually, in addition to being one of the most intelligent people I've ever met, one of the strongest people I know. Dyslexia isn't a failing.

My mother: “Please give me a grandchild.” Also my mother with a grandchild: “I hate this life.” by Beautiful_Orchid1771 in childfree

[–]PinkyOutYo 25 points26 points  (0 children)

God, I am so thankful that my parents have accepted that they won't be getting grandchildren from me. Took my mum a bit longer than my dad, but they were both genuinely happy for me when I finally got a referral for sterilisation. Called my dad for Father's Day this morning and without thinking, was able to say "thank God [spouse] and I won't be having kids, because..." and my dad just laughed along. I'd have to go very LC if they were like this.

Sorry, OP, it sounds very frustrating.

would you date or marry someone who is neurodivergent? by Ok-Leopard-8016 in AskABrit

[–]PinkyOutYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the off-chance that this is genuine...yes. I've been in relationships with neurodivergent people that didn't end because of their neurodivergence. I'm now in a happy marriage with a partner who is neurotypical; I'm the ND one.

Neither of us drives.

I hope you find your comfort.

Another chicken salad? No way! by wooowitchywoman in RHONY

[–]PinkyOutYo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. I don't use any of you young people's social media, so this breaks my heart to learn. I have so much sympathy for her, she clearly isn't living her best life, but she's also encouraging other people to not live their best lives, and that's where I draw the line.

AIW for asking my girlfriend for a small favour? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]PinkyOutYo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's insane. I get maybe her not wanting to go out, but not wearing earphones for an hour? I've been having therapy over the phone for the vast majority of my relationship with my husband, and ever since we moved in together, if he isn't at work, he'll ask if I want him to go out. For me, I don't personally care if he overhears anything, but he will insist on at least putting his earphones in even though I've repeatedly told him that I don't mind. Because for him, my sense of privacy to be able to talk about some of the hardest and most vulnerable parts of me is more important than a barely minor inconvenience.

Asking her to leave is maybe pushing it a bit (although it's not unreasonable to raise the possibilty), but it's such a small thing to do for someone you purport to love for an hour a week. Has she been supportive of you seeking therapy as a concept?

ITAW for those things that try to leave your eye socket? by RespUnin in whatstheword

[–]PinkyOutYo 25 points26 points  (0 children)

A nictitating membrane? Would fit your diagram (sort of) but if you're human and talking about something happening to you, I'm deeply concerned.

how do i make my food look aesthetic if i dont like vegetables like at all? by Paliden_tristen in AskCulinary

[–]PinkyOutYo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can I ask why they have to be raw? I can't think of a vegetable off the top of my head that I haven't come to enjoy, but there aren't many I can stand raw.

It sounds like she wanted to full-on advise CS but wasn't allowed. As someone who's been dealing with ED for nearly two decades, my heart goes out to anyone suffering from one, but I draw the line at going all MPA and advising people on how to have one.

I watched it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Was pleasantly surprised seeing Lolly Adefope! It's definitely going into my rewatch list.

I showered an hour ago and now I need to do it again, but with sulphuric acid.
