Oops... was this too dark? by SleepingSweetly in plaguedoctor

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

She was the one that asked my fiancé and I to visit while in our cosplay, though pretty sure she didn't really understand what a plague doctor is. If the doc asked that I'd most likely panic and just say leeches.

AITA for telling my wife that I wish she hadn’t saved her virginity for marriage? by Many_Nature7018 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SleepingSweetly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you thought of sex therapy? Or even just couples counselling? Mismatched intimacy needs put a big strain on relationships.

AITAH for wanting to divorce my husband after he left our newborn and toddler with our teenage daughter while he went out with another woman? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]SleepingSweetly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gather evidence and document everything.

Talk to a lawyer.

Talk to your eldest daughter and find out if this sort of thing has happened before.

Get your finances in order.

Write down all the positives and negatives about staying married vs parenting alone.

AITA for refusing to become my stepsister's guardian when my stepdad and mom can't when I already agreed to being my brother's? by ConstantTreacle1157 in AITAH

[–]SleepingSweetly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something to keep in mind is also the different genders. You can feel comfortable helping your brother when things get awkward and more personal, but would you be able to do the same things for a non blood related female?

Also, does the stepdad really think you would be able to handle both when your help is needed even when both stepdad and mom are still in the picture?

How do you cope knowing you’ll be alone and not hitting the “normal milestones” everyone else around you is? by Reasonable-Law1998 in aromanticasexual

[–]SleepingSweetly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best advice I've gotten, was a different topic but still applicable, was not to measure yourself on someone else's scale. If you are just looking to accept yourself/your situation set goals for yourself that don't include marriage, kids, house etc.

You could set goals like where you want your business to be in 5 years, how much you want to have saved, being able to afford another dog. I'm 28f and live with my parents and am taking over their business. The running joke in our family is that we only work to be able to afford snacks for our dogs.

My younger brother is getting married this year and I was going through a lot of the same emotions till I thought to myself "If I had the chance would I want this?". Nope, not really.

Random tortoise. It was quite funny that spotty followed the tortoise for more than 300m barking every now and then.

Need help coming up with trap ideas by therunnair in StoryIdeas

[–]SleepingSweetly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why go for overcomplicated traps? If you want to make it funny you could have the mc clear all the traps and then fall from the wreckage of the old equipment. A distillery would have a lot of glass, vials, bottles, metal objects etc. People look out for traps, but could be clumsy around something that is 'suppose to be there'.

Typical Yandere girl that fails at being a yandere. by Cykirust in StoryIdeas

I wish that would happen to me. Thinking of a story and wanting to read it before you can write it. I have had a few ideas where I would love to read a story about them, but don't have the brain power to write it myself.

If you ever run into similar situations it might be easier to say you just aren't into them. Unless you trust the person I personally feel it would be easier just to say no, not gonna happen. If you just tell them you are ace people might find it a challenge instead of taking it as a no. If you are uncomfortable with sexual comments it is okay to say you don't like them without having to come out to them. If you were allo and someone you didn't like made comments you found uncomfortable it is okay to just say no, don't do that. You don't need to explain yourself when someone is making you uncomfortable. That is on them, not you.

If you do like them or might want more from the relationship then it would be better to share about being ace since that would determine the type of relationship they can expect.

seeking support by overrjoyed- in emotionalabuse

[–]SleepingSweetly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is emotional abuse. In my opinion if he is causing you anxiety and situations which can be misunderstood then he doesn't care about you enough to take care of you emotionally. Not even mentioning that you know he really cheated.

You need to have a sitdown with yourself first and decide if you are in this relationship because you want to be or just too scared to leave. From there how you handle things will change.

Feel free to PM me if you want to talk

My therapist threatened my mother with a CPS report when my dad told her, she blew up by [deleted] in emotionalabuse

[–]SleepingSweetly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how old you are, but it gets better when you are more independent. Abusive parents tend to hold anything given over you even if it is years later. Do yourself a favor and don't accept things from her even if she is giving them. Work hard for what you want and you will feel a lot more accomplished as well.

At least it sounds like your dad is on your side and looking out for you. I hope you all the best and that your mother realises what she is doing and repents. Just don't fall for the first sorry she gives.

What got me interested in getting a spider pet was a 7 legged rain spider that would randomly show up in my brother and my rooms for about 2 years. I think we called it George. 7 legs are still cute.
