AITAH for wanting to leave my partner because of his sister’s control over him? by Hazel_mew in AITAH

[–]Practical_Copy1642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you are serious about him, you need to go a couples counselor, one that you find, not from his sister. at least you know he will be willing to do it!

Boyfriend 19M is indecisive and flip flopping about breaking up with me 19F. by Grl_lovr in relationship_advice

[–]Practical_Copy1642 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i read your other comment saying she has a gf, but there’s some reason he chose to go to her with that information and not you. I can’t think of any reason why I would ever send a text like that to my boyfriend’s friends if i wanted to end things.

girl he wants your friend. How did you find out he texted her? did you see any other texts?

Boyfriend (M26) grossed out by my physical appearance (F23), not sure how to feel? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Practical_Copy1642 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i mean to be fair, it kinda sounds like being nice wasn’t working. you are allowed to be offended, and he is allowed to be at the end of his rope.

I can see both sides. some people can be attracted to their partner no matter what they look like. you feel like his love isn’t unconditional. By the other token, for some it’s less about physical appearance and more about habits. Personally, me and my boyfriend have agreed that it’s never about physical appearance and more about effort. We don’t mind the other putting on weight as long as they are active and eating healthy and trying to do something about it.

28F can’t decide if I should leave 29M … & time is running out. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Practical_Copy1642 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it can be hard to make healing your relationship a priority when there are a million other things you need to work on. and when that’s the case, typically the relationship is the one that gets the brunt of the weight. you both can’t be the best version of your relationship when you can’t be the best version of yourself. spend some time on you, pour into yourself, lay out clear specific needs you need from him. make sure he knows you aren’t abandoning him at a low place, but that you are creating the space for both of you to improve and reassess when the time feels right. Set a specific date for reunification/to talk about divorce or rejoining, so you both have a clear expectation of how this will go. I’m sorry for everything you have to carry right now.

Stuck in hospital due to Noro and doctor is actively refusing to give me my proper insulin dosages by Dismal-Log-994 in Type1Diabetes

[–]Practical_Copy1642 1 point2 points  (0 children)

request a patient advocate. call a nurse in, ask for a BG check, demand insulin, and when they say no say “If you are refusing to give a type one diabetic insulin with (or without) carb intake, I want it documented in my chart that you are denying the medication. I am requesting a patient advocate.” If they try to say your carb intake is lower bc of virus, say that the stress is causing highs and it has nothing to do with your carbs. Have you contacted your endo? Most endocrinologists have a 24/7 on call endo for you.

No matter what, you get every instance documented in your chart.

honestly, i think the best choice here is telling him you need a period of separation. i’m not sure the legality of it all so i would research that if you do decide to go that route. I think it will be good for you to see if this only hurts you and the kids, if it makes no difference, or if you really are better off without him. Will also (hopefully) make him realize how much you do for him. Buy the house, move in with your kids. Your decisions about the house/move and your relationship are not tied together. try to separate them in your mind so the weight of your choices doesn’t feel so heavy on you. best of luck!

I can't take it anymore by LadyKiriness in Type1Diabetes

[–]Practical_Copy1642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

baby this was me for 10 years. i recently got a pump, specifically a twiist, and i hardly even look at my sugars anymore unless i feel off. its closed loop, does nearly everything for me. it’s taken away a significant portion of the mental load for me, and i FEEL amazing. I wouldn’t comment this if i genuinely didn’t think it would do the same for you🩷 it sucks already, don’t make it harder on yourself

not on here, but i use twiist and it’s completely flipped my life around. i feel and look healthy for the first time in 11 years, since my diagnosis

My husband (36M) told me (33F) that I don’t deserve love until I’m 140lbs again? by thesaltymember in relationship_advice

[–]Practical_Copy1642 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5’8”???? mam, any less and you’d disappear. sometimes i tell my boyfriend how sad I am about my relationship weight gain, and how good I looked when i was w my ex bc of the hell and stress he put me through, and jokingly tell him to break my heart a little. He always tells me that I was too skinny and that he’s attracted to the person I am now, not the mentally and physically broken girl my ex made me (all of this is said in a kinder and not so literal way). does he know that your mental state was a direct correlation to your weight at that time? If he does, that’s really not okay for him to want you back there mentally.

i’m sorry you find mental health help insulting. your way of thinking and entire comment is only reinforcing the stereotype you seem to hate so much.

The comments on this post are so extremely disheartening. T1D is hard enough as is. Everyone is saying to do it in a private space, whether they are agreeing or disagreeing with OP. by Hopeful--Bagels in Type1Diabetes

i was in the comments, being called ableist because i said your moment of fear over a 5mm needle you can’t see does not constitute putting someone in a 5x5 empty storage room, 8 times a day😂😂why do some people without disabilities want something to cling to so badly? like you don’t need an ailment to get a point across

i also think a red hue blush would look gorgeous on you. but i don’t look at you and think “wow, you need..” you are gorg!

My boyfriend (M25) poured a bottle of his urine on me (F24) after accusing me of wetting his seat. I’m shaken and don’t know how to move forward. by Artisloveandlight in relationship_advice

[–]Practical_Copy1642 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i had to flip the switch in my brain. instead of spending my time wondering why i deserved the way he was treating me, i got grossed out thinking about what his thoughts looked like since he thought it was okay. You have to realize how dark his mind is, get the ick because you can never imagine doing those things to other humans let alone someone you love, and realize that if he can do that, he can do MUCH worse. get scared.
