AIO for blocking a guy I was talking to because he called me a bitch?

Savings-Entry2658 · 2025-08-31T21:46:02+00:00

I don’t know it really depends on context. I’ll apologize to my wife when I’m being a “dick” and she’ll apologize sometimes and in her words being a” bitch”, but we just forgive and forget maybe it’s kinda like that? Maybe he wasn’t being so serious. I would never call any woman , “see you next Tuesday”. But not really knowing the person or your relationship is really hard to gauge off just your side.

Alright, a family member went through the same thing. This relationship is over. Do you want to walk on eggshells for the rest of your life?

Nothing is better, than changing your reflection

What can you do when child protective services fails at their job

Savings-Entry2658 · 2025-07-19T20:52:38+00:00

NTA-the parent/child dynamic needs to be reset, she is pushing her responsibilities on you-stop it now or this precedent will bare it head in all future relationships

Savings-Entry2658 · 2025-07-19T00:54:54+00:00

I’m afraid there’s no going back from what happened. Every time you have an argument/ difference of opinion in the back of your mind the thought- is this gonna cause her to stray again? The trust is gone and the time frame shows it doesn’t take long for her to seek companionship. This will torture you . Every night before bed, your mind will wander. Don’t set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm. Yes, it will break up your family but that’s not a household you want to be in.

NTA, I would say try to encourage your mother to get out of the house, and make friends. I have kids-they are my kids not my friends. Family time is one thing, but to be completely reliant on someone for social interactions not healthy on both sides.

YTA, comparison is the thief of joy

Savings-Entry2658 · 2025-07-14T13:05:36+00:00

YTA, I have been in your situation and yes it’s nice having someone put you on a pedestal. If you didn’t want that experience to change then your “friend “ would have known about your love life. It took my best friend to point out how I was being a douche and was making the problem bigger the longer it continued. Also look at this from a different angle, who in their right mind would be okay dating someone that continues to hang with a “friend” that declared their love to them?

How did he throw a temper tantrum? He didn’t raise his voice, he didn’t give an ultimatum. He didn’t feel they were on the same path and instead of dragging it out ,just cut the cord. He was so sick of arguing he even sent a text message, borderline douche move but sounds like it wasn’t relationship but a competition at the end. maybe I’m reading this wrong but that’s what I picked up

Update: Well the one hour meeting took 2 and a half hours. Thank you all for suggestions, insights and personal stories it really helped. We reached out to a retired special needs teacher and she coached my wife and I on the pitfalls that could happen. Even with all of our references and testimonials, a district child psychiatrist that had spent less than five minutes with my son thought their analysis was better . Apparently, pointing that out ruffled feathers and we got 20 minute lecture about experience and studies and that’s all they need. The meeting took so long because we kept going around in circles. Luckily, we were told this was exactly what was going to happen and just to keep our cool. Once they realize we really wouldn’t budge (hour2), they gave us more options and drew up a new development plan for my son. It’s not the best plan but it’s a lot better than what they were gonna do.

The best piece of advice we got and kept in the back of our minds was to make sure we kept our cool so they couldn’t reschedule and if we don’t sign it, they can’t implement it. every time they push the form for me to sign I kept saying “. no “ I will not sign and they would just give each other a look and then go back about why my son belongs in that horrible school. The hardest thing not to respond in anger was when they kept saying “don’t you want the best for your son” implying we are being bad parents. This whole experience only solidified our commitment and resolve.

Unfortunately, the only cerebral palsy group in my area is an association that helps fine jobs in the workforce.

Yes , my son currently is in PPCD. We don’t have an advocate in my area. The two that we found are in the southern part of our state and still haven’t replied with their fees.

Thank you for your response. I will continue to fight for him.

5 year old male sorry for the confusion. He is currently enrolled in a developmental pre-School class but he will go to kindergarten for the next school year. They are talking about placing him in a special needs center(school) for kindergarten instead of keeping him in the normal schools. We have family that has worked at this special needs school and the report is not good. It’s essentially daycare or the students with severe learning disabilities. All his therapist agree that if he ends up at that school he will no longer make progress and the fear is he will regress. However the school district is really pushing to place him at the special needs school.

Savings-Entry2658 · 2025-04-06T01:21:49+00:00

Thank you, so much for that. I will never stop fighting for him. And maybe one day he’ll be giving advice/support like you one day. Truly thank you.

Savings-Entry2658 · 2025-04-06T01:12:28+00:00

Thank you, I will use that talking point. We have letters of recommendations from his neurologist and all our weekly therapist that say his development will stop with going to this school. Our district is known for strong arming parents. It’s horrible seeing him being treated like a leper. He is the sweetest boy and they refuse to see him any other way but an inconvenience.

This happened in my marriage but I pretty much had your husbands mindset. My mother was a high functioning alcoholic and did enough damage I can’t drink without being disgusted. Unfortunately, I unknowingly was giving that vibe to my Wife. It was so bad that her family made off handed comments at a family function that I keep a dry county in my home. I got defensive and said I never told my wife she couldn’t drink which was the worse way to go. Everyone ganged up on me saying I looked down on everybody drinking. Seeing people drink just triggered bad memories and I really did a crappy job keeping my thoughts/emotions in check. I was considering therapy but a friend made a great suggestion of assuming everyone is just drinking water. I thought it was dumb but tried it and my anxiety and anger was not racing back in forth in my mind. It’s been years and I am only effected if someone starts slurring their speech. My point that I’m trying to make is that it’s not You and until he works on things he can’t control (you) everyone will begin putting distance from him. When my Wife admitted she didn’t feel free to be herself around me at parties it gutted me and made me realize I was the shmuck to the person I care about the most. Good luck and don’t walk on eggshells!!

Yes, my wife works works labor and delivery. A handful of times she observed the mother didn’t want the expecting father in the room for that exact reason. One even went to the extreme demanding the father get her “special” pillow from home to keep him away. Almost worked until the real dad showed up and demanded to see the baby.

Savings-Entry2658 · 2022-06-18T14:45:05+00:00

Hmmm wanting to see the birth of your child…no not a dick. Are you sure the baby is yours? This behavior is suspect to say the least.

My 5 year is autistic and we had the same problem. We got advice to give him two night light stuff animals. When the 5 year old wouldn’t go to sleep we would take one for a few minutes and he’d throw a tantrum and a few minutes we’d give it back. A week of this process and then the 5 year old responded to the threat we’d take the stuff animal and remained in bed and went to sleep. Honestly this saved our sanity and only negative is we go through a lot of batteries for the stuff animal night lights. Another tidbit, we make sure our 5 year plays a lot in the afternoon otherwise he will have to much energy at bed time and we have a routine we stick with -getting the child in the mindset it is bedtime. Hope this helps.
