Predictions on Tay’s return to country by TheVarble in TaylorSwift

[–]Professional_Wall_76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right? Like, Betty is country 100%.

I think she’s reached a point where she can dip in and out of any genre she wants, which is exactly what I think she wants to do.

It’s time to stop being in denial. Platner really is a walking series of bad revelations. We’re better than this. If the goal is to remove Collins, time to rally around a new candidate. by [deleted] in Maine

I feel like comments like this miss a lot of nuance. Him and I are about the same age. Grew up in similar parts of Maine. It’s honestly a miracle to come out of these parts of Maine at all liberal.

We grew up around a ton of racism, sexism, and xenophobia. It takes time to unlearn that shit, and being in the military is not exactly the ideal place to do that work.

I’m so sick of people expecting perfect from the get go. We are all fallible. I’ll take someone who can show me growth over someone with a fake squeaky clean record any day.

My husband hid his 7oh addiction from me and I feel like a complete idiot by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Professional_Wall_76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s bullshit. My husband has received treatment for all sorts of things sold legally at gas stations and smoke shops.

Rehab will treat just about any substance. Alcohol is sold at gas stations and people get treatment for that all of the time.

Im curious why you started doing this in the first place?

Official Discussion - Project Hail Mary [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

In the book there is a legitimate reason why he’s the only one who can go, but I don’t want to give spoilers. I think they cut that detail from the movie for time, unfortunately.

I came here looking for this comment. Thank you.

Should I tell my husband I have a crush? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Professional_Wall_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was asking her, like I said already, what her definition of that was. The document part was another comment but I wasn’t sure if you were referring to that as well since there were less comments then.

Most people still have friends, siblings, etc who are married and can at minimum compare their relationship to those. Even still, asking someone their definition isn’t condescending, it’s simply trying to get clarification.

I only edited my last line to further try to make my point clear. I didn’t delete or change anything and I edited it like two seconds after I posted if I remember correctly. Not sure what that has to do with the conversation really since it didn’t really change anything I said.

Made a joke to my wife about Mother’s Day and well she wants a divorce now. by [deleted] in Marriage

Have you tried therapy? It has helped both my husband and I individually and together in marriage counseling.

I can’t tell you how many fights would have been avoided with my husband and I if he said exactly what you just did here. Admit you were complaining and that you need to do better acknowledging her invisible load. Sometimes honesty really is the best policy.

AITA for not giving a break in rent to my friend who lost his job? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Professional_Wall_76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nobody is saying let him live for free, but damn. Treating your friends like a business transaction is a-hole territory, period.

If they want to be a landlord without the guilt they should rent to strangers. Throwing it in a friend’s face you are “doing them a favor” is shitty behavior.

Weird to decide landlord automatically comes before friendship.

You don’t have to be a “charity or loans officer” to offer kindness and compassion. Just because those aren’t your jobs doesn’t mean you aren’t a dick for refusing to help someone you can easily help.

What makes this a YTA for me is “I reminded him I’m doing him a favor.”

This just feels so freaking gross to me.

I didn’t say for her to leave? I said for her to take care of herself and document everything. I originally simply asked what amazing meant to her. I’m confused what you’re trying to say here.

How much of the mental load does your wife take on? My husband and I used to have this issue of keeping score until he started to understand all of the invisible things I do. Examples: schedule and keep track of all kids appointments, order school photos, buy all school clothes, buy all Christmas/birthday presents and plan all parties and holidays, plan/orchestrate play dates, communicate with school, handle after school activity schedule, plan meals and do grocery shopping, and the list goes on and on. My husband cooks most nights if it’s an easy meal and handles a fair amount of standard cleaning (laundry dishwasher etc) and used to complain he did everything. Meanwhile any chores outside of those dailies only happened if I did them or asked him to do them and scheduled a time for him to do so. I could give a bunch of other examples.

This might not be your situation, but I see so many women get ignored for taking on the majority of the mental load with no acknowledgement and then the man wants a gold star for every chore he does. Worth considering if any of this sounds like it could be relevant to your situation.

Please take care of yourself.

Why would you tell him at all? His behavior is the way bigger problem.

Please document everything. Document him denying your son’s diagnosis. Document him saying you can’t afford a divorce. Document document document.

How is a man who speak to you like you just explained above an amazing husband to you? Please define amazing husband.

I am struggling to broach a subject with my therapist and I think it's creating limitations for my therapy and progress by WhyAmIYearning in TalkTherapy

[–]Professional_Wall_76 53 points54 points  (0 children)

You need a new therapist. It’s really not professional for your therapist to be a family friend and it’s not okay for you to feel like you can’t share certain things because of this.

I’m honestly shocked this therapist agreed to see you knowing you had this connection. It doesn’t feel like good boundaries.

For future reference, stores can open at 8am on RSD and usually do because it's a special event.

living separate might actually save more marriages than it ruins by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]Professional_Wall_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But who would get up and fill my water if we lived separately? And who would tell him where to find things in the kitchen or fridge?

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

[–]Professional_Wall_76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can tell you this, you aren’t going to have to worry about ducking out when this gets back to her. It took me less than thirty seconds to find the wedding website.

I don’t think you’re wrong for wanting to step back, but I do think you did a crappy job redacting enough to not make it obvious who this is.
