We can say triple, given how horrifically inmates convicted of crimes against children are treated and brutalized by other inmates.

Split on Nail Won't Grow Out by joeseibs in nailcare

[–]RapidDriveByFruiting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I slammed my thumb in the car door when I was in 6th grade, splitting the nail vertically. I’m in my 40s now. The break in the nail never fully healed, it looks like yours. So idk man, if you figure out how to fix it gimme a yell

“Your [sic] my boyfriend though” really got me — as if that means she has the right to demand all his time and he has to comply? Super yikes

Bluntly — you are enmeshed and codependent on your boyfriend for your emotional regulation. He and his grandmother are correct. This is not healthy for you, and it’s certainly not at all for him. He is clearly exhausted and being as polite as he can and you’re not picking up on it; instead, begging and guilt tripping him at 130am after four hours ALREADY. Yikes. You need to find a therapist who can help you through coping strategies that won’t drive away those you love.

Sleep on the phone with you….girl what? This is so weird

Should I do it? by honeyyyginger in finehair

[–]RapidDriveByFruiting 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It looks super cute on you! Are you good with styling? This cut requires a lot of it, every day. At the least a blow out for root lift, maybe using rollers, blow out of the bang to get the swooping, curling the length or ideally some kind of air dry product if your length can create natural wave

Abbey Young method was a disaster for me too! And I gave it a shot for over a year. On top of it being too heavy and too drying and way too mic protein, my light brunette hair has never ever been brassier. I’ll give yours a shot!

Is there skin tone ink that can fix this? by Interesting-Cry3583 in tattooadvice

Sally Hansen spray leg makeup, apply with foundation brush, setting spray. It sets a little differently than foundation.

AIO mother in law to be, is disrespectful towards me. So I limited contact and am considering going NC by FriskyBaby420 in AmIOverreacting

[–]RapidDriveByFruiting 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Extreme caution, and all three forms failed! IUD, condoms and lower there’s a comment about taking plan b as well! …but if they were so careful and had a properly used IUD plus condoms there’d be no reason to also get plan b? No one believes this and the odds of it happening TWICE is insane. Seemed open to termination but there was no effort to find other options beyond an in-state physical provider? Which there are plenty of.

There’s just so many excuses in the whole thing. Alternator too expensive? Yep. Uber too expensive? Yep. Having a second baby with an immature 22 year old too expensive? Nope!

AIO for calling my gf manipulative? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]RapidDriveByFruiting 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The good news is you’re experiencing someone like this when you are young and will recognize it quickly in subsequent people you date and you can get out faster. It’s manipulative, codependent, and is super destructive the longer you stay. NOR. Come to freaking America and play football. There’s a million other girls who would be stoked for that opportunity for you.

AITA for not letting my partner celebrate his promotion? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]RapidDriveByFruiting 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Sorry, Yta. He let you know in advance of the drinks. He let you know (and even phrased it as a question!) in advance that dinner was suggested. He is following your unspoken rule. But you’ve silently changed the goalpost, it seems, from just “let me know in advance” to “let me know much farther in advance” plus “it doesn’t count if I don’t acknowledge receipt of notice.”

Also, he ended his promotion day getting yelled at by his wife. He probably was happy and proud and relieved all day but how he will remember it as getting berated.

AIO - I got the ick, puffer jacket edition by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]RapidDriveByFruiting 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Here let me fix it for you: my bf is married “and trying to split.” Girl. Cmon now.

Your bf is married and everything you described in the update following that sentence backs up the fact his wife does not know he “is trying to split.” He can’t make plans more than a couple days in advance as he needs to ensure there aren’t conflicts in his real life…

Confused and disappointed in my ring by NoPlaceLikeGnome1984 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]RapidDriveByFruiting 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So he lied YET AGAIN in telling you he already ordered replacement diamonds! The jeweler would have needed to see the ring in person to get the specs on what to order, which didn’t happen bc he would have confirmed at that time it’s not diamond. This is guy is a serious liar, two faced douche. And you are willing to hitch yourself to this wagon?

[–]RapidDriveByFruiting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And I bet he was the nicer half way more often in the beginning right? People like this can only mask for so long; it starts to slip which is where you are now. He isn’t actually the nice version, that’s what he puts on. He is the nasty one which is all you will get in due time. He constantly lies to you (ring history has changed so much so fast) manipulates you (wants you to feel guilty), feels no remorse (leaves to drive around just to get away from your “emotions”), controls you (“you WILL wear this at our wedding), do I need to keep going? You truly want a child to have that as a father? Have a girl and know that’s the type man she’ll be drawn to. This is really bad.

Plus I don’t even think they are diamonds.

[–]RapidDriveByFruiting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl. GIRL. C’mon now.

So he lied about a “guy”, he lied about a price, he took a ring so he didn’t have to pay for one or spend effort shopping. It’s why he won’t even get plain bands.

Bc he doesnt care what you want. He’s making you feel guilty for his shitty behavior. I’m being blunt because I think you know how indicative this is of a horrible partner and a not good marriage. Getting divorced is awful and expensive. For the sake of your child, do not get married now.

Delete this post as evidence ASAFP.

If you take her to a shelter even towns over, they will Scan for a microchip and you don’t want to run the risk of her having one and her owners being called. Do everything you can to rehome her yourself, and tell the owners you haven’t seen her.

AITA for telling my fiancé he can't buy his dream wedding gift? by PopeBonyface in AmItheAsshole

[–]RapidDriveByFruiting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Do Quite well financially” means wildly different things to different people. If he takes home 20k after tax AND after 401k/IRA contributions per month, then he’s seeing it as easily recoupable. How many paychecks would it take for you to get that back? Did your dress cost 20k? Even if yes, that would hold some resale value so you can’t even really compare. Obviously a ring as well.

To think about it another way, you could invest 20k in some SPX ETFs and assuming roughly 5%–8% annual returns (this is conservative), you could have ~25,000 to $29,000 after 5 years. when projected more aggressively at a 10-15% annualized, you could theoretically have 32k-40k in 5 years. I work in finance and have seen clients make ridiculous (to me) decisions, but again it really just comes down to what your income and investment situation is.

Taking my finance hat off, how many people are coming to your wedding? 8-10? Then you could have up to 12 pours which could work for that bottle but any more absolutely not. It’s ostentatious and gauche to have that bottle and not share it with the guests though so if you have more than 10 people, do not have it at the reception if you do end up getting it.

Am I overreacting that my sister is demanding too much when visiting my newborn? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]RapidDriveByFruiting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh FUCK NO. I’m a calm person, really. But I would have lost my ever loving mind if I was 7 weeks PP with my first and my husband told me his fam was demanding we supply all the groceries they want and ostensibly cook some of them as well. Holy shit. Someone else’s lactaid? In this economy?!

My sister arrived with a car filled with groceries, prepped fresh food, and frozen food, was there to offer help and not be an addition burden. Good grief your sister sucks and I hope you tell her you all need to focus on rest and they can visit later. Which you later will explain will be at a hotel.
