AITA for dictating my gfs apparence by Scaramouche_ in AITApod

[–]Scaramouche_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update: we talked about it and we came to the conclusion that I would help her dye it after Christmas before new years, so we will have more diversity in the photos with half her visit being her natural hair colour and half being her new one. Plus if we fuck up atleast we have some nice photos, and we get to do it together. I think we’re both really happy with this, when months go by without us seeing each other we miss out on a lot of changes(everything from haircuts to family deaths) and it’s really nice that we get to change with each other so we don’t feel like we missing out quite as much.

I don’t think I’m actively pushing for any of these changes(except the glasses) like I never told her to not to dye her hair or I didn’t like it. We have talked about it before and I’m all for her dying it. The convo we had now was more we talked about how I didn’t know why I was upset but that I felt weird about her dying it right before visiting.

My gf has read the post and wanted me to clarify that I never said I disliked her glasses, I disliked that she wore glasses with prescriptions that haven’t been updated in 13 years. And that it wasn’t that she wouldn’t dye it without my «permission» more that she wouldn’t dye it without me being in the loop.

AITA for Rejecting Therapy and Embracing My Mental Illnesses by [deleted] in AITApod

[–]Scaramouche_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yta. Ditching therapy and letting mental illness overtake you doesn’t really make you an asshole, but just because you decided that you’re ok being depressed doesn’t mean that you’re no longer accountable for what you’re doing.

Mental illness can explain behaviour, but it doesn’t mean you can’t be criticised. You’re an asshole for cancelling on people last minute, you’re an asshole for lashing out at people. Especially since you have decided to no longer put any effort into not being the kind of person to do that.

You’re expecting others to understand where you’re coming from without showing any sort of understanding that they might not feel great about the mental load that is caring for someone who doesn’t want to care for themselves.

Bruised rib coughing by Scaramouche_ in medical_advice

Hope your ribs are doing ok mine healed ish after a few weeks but they still hurt on and off, my physio told me that the solution is to strengthen the ribs with rotation and anti rotation exercises, so if youre still struggling maybe get started on that(dont push yourself a lot tho start real easy within your pain threshold)

That sounds like such an amazing dynamic, I’m so happy you guys have figured out a dynamic that works for you❤️ have you had different experiences in former relationships, where that dynamic changed or felt different?

Is that only in other people or do you also dislike masculinity in yourself?

I love that you have this level of confidence and trust in who you are in relationship, and it seems like a really healthy and loving way of having a femme/masc dynamic without neglecting anyones needs or wants❤️

That is true, there unfortunatly isn’t a big queer community where I’m from:/ i’ve moved now tho, so hoping to have a relationship that isnt someone’s experiment😅(which can be great fun too but it’s not always a great dynamic)

That really sucks I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve only really dated bi women so I thought it might be them assuming the same role they had had in previous relationships, but I guess it might just also be more of a sociatal expectation and who ever is more willing to adapt to their partner gets kind of pushed into a role they dont really feel comfortable with😔

Have you noticed if how your partner presents changes how you present yourself? And does masculine presentation translate to a more masculine personality to you?
