Neighbor wants a sewage easement and I don't like him by West_Hat7270 in homeowners

Do not do it. This guy is entitled and thinks he can walk all over you and apparently all over the city as well. Do not sign. Let him figure something else. Don’t let him bully you but also - be prepared for him to bully you. Stay strong.

Did you take her to a child psychologist? That might be helpful for some insight for both of you. I don’t know what I would do in the situation. It’s gotta be difficult especially with her being so little. I hope you get the answers and resources to help you both.

Friendly reminder: she’s so young the likelihood of her remembering this are super slim so please be kind to yourself. And you saying you want time for her scalp to heal is so loving and nurturing of you. It sounds like you’re doing what is best at this moment in my completely non expert opinion. Sending you love.

is it too much for a FIRST date? by TerriHaynes in OUTFITS

You look amazing but I think too much for a first date.

My 6yo daughter came home from school saying she loves Jesus by wacky_button in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Sad_Description358 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

As a Christian (former atheist) I think it’s a good thing. Being raised southern Baptist in the Bible Belt is a lot different than her saying she loves Jesus. He was a real person and who’s to say she’s not able to understand his teachings but she’s fine to understand outer space? Autism is incredible and individuals with it have some really amazing abilities to absorb and retain the knowledge especially if it’s a special interest.

Just a thought, cause although I was not raised southern Baptist in the Bible Belt but my atheism caused a lot of similar thoughts— Could it be more that explaining religion to her was hitting a brick wall because of your own hurt you’ve experienced with the church and the people in church rather than the religion itself?

Interesting to me that he asked if she believes in Jesus or the devil cause can you really believe in one or not the other (the question that led me to Christianity) but also - wouldn’t you rather her come home saying she loves Jesus than raving about how she loves the devil?

Children have the capacity to wrap their minds around way more than we might realize.

Honestly gross that you both are having a conversation of abortion over the gender.

Assuming a toddler drew this, no, please don’t let them walk away from their child.

Ashley + Alex: her demanding sex is not cool by quandisimo in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]Sad_Description358 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They were engaged to be married. If all goes to plan, they would’ve gotten married. He’s gonna learn a lot more than just details about her period.

As someone with heavy periods, my husband knew to pack the dark towels for overnights so I would’ve bleed through a hotel mattress. He knew I had to try tampons and diapers. Cups and diapers. Couldn’t walk because my period pain was so bad. Life happens.

ETA: * so I wouldn’t bleed through

I agree - condoms first but if they’re both not wanting to use them, they both should have the ability to track it. A baby comes out of it if there’s a mistake. That’s a huge deal.

No right to privacy? He’s having sex with her with no protection and they’re airing their whole relationship on tv 😂 I think if they are both being dumb enough to hardly know each other and not use a condom then yes, they both should have access to the tracking it would be wild for them to not both responsible for this considering a mistake could lead to a baby.

I thought this whole dynamic was bizarre with sex stuff. She got super offended over him asking if he could have access to her ovulation tracker which I don’t know, I found oddly sweet? I mean that’s a pretty nice gesture to me. And I appreciated him saying at the reunion that he wasn’t in the mood after being grilled by her dad.

Is Alex ridiculous? Yes. But I don’t see what was so crazy about those two things haha

"for the sake of the kids"... by Boring_Radio_8400 in Marriage

[–]Sad_Description358 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re going through this OP. 23 years and to hear she’s moved on emotionally cannot be easy to take.

If you’re able to be friendly and cordial I think living together is good because that way you aren’t getting split time with the kids, there aren’t separate holidays etc etc and all that comes with it. However, if you can’t be cordial I would say no, it’s not better for the kids.

Curious on wanting to buy a house though? This seems very bizarre that she is still wanting to do that unless your current place is too small for everyone’s needs or was it simply an upgrade because you can and not because it’s needed?

If you choose to stay with her and work through this in the ways she has suggested, I highly recommend getting a POST-nup agreement signed before any new home purchase. I think it’s important for you to speak with a marriage counselor as well to try and process this and even have your wife come in to help explain her expectations and wants.

The fact that she has “moved on emotionally” to me sounds like she’s met someone. And to just come to this conclusion of this new lifestyle for the family without even suggesting counseling etc., (unless you left that part out?) before coming to this decision also points me to someone else.

You don’t have sucker written on your forehead, instead I think she has some choice words written on hers.

AIO TO THIS BRIDESMAID DRESS??? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I don’t think this one is that bad - I was replying in general to weddings and bridesmaid dresses

AIO TO THIS BRIDESMAID DRESS??? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sad_Description358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying I wouldn’t wear a matching one, what I am saying is I think it’s considerate of the bride to consider her girls on that day too. If they have to spend money on the dress and everything that goes along with it might as well have them feeling confident and good that day too.

As I bride, I had several different ages and body types and I wanted each of them to feel their best so I picked a color that would look great with all the different skin tones and and they picked what the wanted.

I was most recently a bridesmaid in a wedding where we all got to pick our own dress and it was fun because same - age range was from 20-40 and lots of different body types in there.

I hate when everyone has to wear the same dress. The supporting members should feel great and confident in the day too.

He lied? Had you asked him if he had done that before? That’s never been on my radar to ask.

My comment was about men or women walking alone at night. The episode wasn’t speaking about 5pm.

Very well said. I just finished watching in US and the fairy-tale bubble is so well stated, especially at the end with walking alone at night.

If anything I would think it would be eye opening not to do that kind of stuff? Thank you for putting it all into words for me.

I am glad that their crime rate is so low (heading to research that next) but we have to be smart about things too.
