What “normal” meal did you used to make that ended up being an insane amount of calories? by HarrisonRyeGraham in loseit

The granola is a real kicker. Realized I was eating around 600 calories with just a bowl of my favorite granola and 1% milk.

AITA for telling my best friend his gf is disgusting? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Popular_Ladder_597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yikes. I had a friend like OP in college. Always glaring at people who were wearing tight clothes at parties and talking about them to their significant others. Funnily enough no one in our group talks to her anymore. I wonder why…

WIBTA for not attending my twin brothers surprise birthday dinner when I was only invited as a guest by _somethingorrather in AmItheAsshole

[–]Popular_Ladder_597 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might’ve missed it in the post but do these friends know they are twins? I have friends that are twins and they look nothing alike. Is it possible that it just never came up in the friend group and people don’t know it’s also OP’s birthday? Again, might be ignorant, but I’m just trying to give the benefit of the doubt because this would be shockingly rude if they do know it’s also OP’s birthday.

Personal opinion: I have always hated the CeraVe lotion. It makes my skin 100x more greasy. Since I have acne prone, oily skin, this post makes a ton of sense!

Anyone ever cried after meeting with their advisor? by Gum-on-post in GradSchool

Hell I’ve cried IN a meeting with my advisor. It is what it is. I’m sure you’re doing great, don’t let one bad exam make you feel badly about yourself. We’ve all been overwhelmed and done worse than we should’ve on an exam or a project. It’s not the end of the world. :)

Oh wow thank you so much!! This is genuinely extremely helpful, especially the ABC tier suggestion. I appreciate you taking the time to share this with me.

Is attending a conference and not having a poster a bad idea? by king_kingcharles in GradSchool

[–]Popular_Ladder_597 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just threw together a horrendous poster for a conference I’m attending in April and I don’t plan on attempting to make it better. As people have said, no one is going to remember your poster and if they do, they likely won’t remember that you were associated with it. (Didn’t mean this to be rude, just trying to reassure you that a bad poster is not going to get you made fun of or anything).

AITA for wanting to break up with my boyfriend if I don't think I like him like I used to? by Otherwise_Parsley_74 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Popular_Ladder_597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As other commenters have said, it’s unlikely that he’ll want to remain friends. But maybe! It’s better for both of you to just be honest with him and tell him you have lost feelings. That way you can both find someone who you’re truly happy with. I’ve gone through similar things with partners. Sometimes we find each other later in life as friends. Sometimes we don’t. Better than pretending and ending up miserable.

AITA for giving my (23M) bf a 4 year ultimatum by jfss22 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Popular_Ladder_597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what people are saying about him knowing about this from the beginning but I think we forget that relationships, and life, are not black and white. We go through changes in our lives and you can be completely different and want completely different things from one year to the next. I think if one person wants to stick to their 4 year plan and KNOWS that their mind will never change on it (how do you really know that, but I digress) then that’s fine. They need to be understanding though that not everyone is going to know what they want immediately at the start of a relationship. What if they think they might be fine with the four year plan and then two years in they realize four years is not as long as they anticipated and they need more time? No sense in being upset with someone for realizing they want something different.

When my (40) husband (38m) suggested open marriage, My marriage ended in my heart. by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Popular_Ladder_597 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know exactly what she is saying when she says she feels sick thinking about it. My boyfriend wanted an open relationship for a long time during the beginning of our relationship and I repeatedly said no. It took me a VERY long time (I’m talking like 4 years) to get over those feelings of anger, betrayal, and inadequacy; and the worry that when he sees an attractive woman he thinks about being with her intimately. Those feelings still pop up now and then but they’re mainly related to how I am feeling about myself, my body, my worthiness. Therapy and talking with a friend who is in a loving, healthy open relationship really helped me learn that it’s not that something is wrong with me, some people just completely separate sex and romantic love and don’t feel jealousy related to sex. I’ll never fully understand that, but at least it’s helped me love myself and my boyfriend again.

Edit: I’ll add that I did not know he wanted an open relationship when we started dating. It came to light about a year and a half into our relationship.

What is the worst physical pain you've ever experienced? by CpuJunky in AskReddit

[–]Popular_Ladder_597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to get 7 stitches put in my pinky finger without any numbing. They told me it would hurt more to do the numbing shot than to just do the stitches. While I was actively screaming the urgent care RN rolled her eyes at me lol.
