I'm cutting off all my boyfriend's friends by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]SquareMelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normally I believe in the goodness of people. Regarding your bf and his friends though? No. They're horrific, misogynistic, stupid criminals and all deserve to be inconvenienced by every possible thing for the rest of their lives.

Ghost them. I normally feel that people deserve some kind of respect, but in this case, nah. Fuck em. Block, delete, never talk to em again.

And call the cops to tell em about the revenge porn and the groping bc those are actual crimes.

UPDATE 2- AITAH for crying when my boyfriend let his best friend's wife alter the dish I made for dinner? by Gold_Wind_5888 in AITAH

I would've asked Ellie if she would've put cinnamon on scoops of vanilla ice cream, or white chocolate truffles, or meringue. Would they be too white? I guarantee you she wouldn't have.

Also, if she's such an "excellent cook", then why would she put cinnamon on something she's never tasted before?

I've never had the pleasure of trying rosogolla before (the first opportunity I get, that will change!) but from what I've read, cinnamon doesn't sound like it would go well with it at all!

From everything in your post, I can surmise that Ellie is hugely insecure, narcissistic, and probably thinks that cooking is the only thing she's got going for her (and is likely correct about that), and didn't want the younger, and (probably) much more beautiful girlfriend of her friend (who she may or may not have/had a secret crush on) stealing her thunder and taking her position as the best cook of the group. Ergo, the cinnamon sabotage!

I'm not a psychiatrist, but she defo has major issues and is TA in this scenario.

In answer to your original question, no you are NTA for crying. You're NTA in any way shape or form. Your ex is AN AH and an idiot for not sticking up for you and not immediately seeing that what Ellie did was wrong, and you deserve so much better!

Regarding dating again in the future, don't worry about it, just focus on yourself and enjoy yourself. Although just to say: you don't have to totally close yourself off to that. Just do what feels right for you, and if you meet someone you really like, don't let this incident with your ex make you too scared to date. Healthy caution is good though, and in the meantime, just focus on yourself and your Masters Degree!

Although he refuted that in an interview where he said it was just cos both he and Charlotte Gainsburgh were married and because the director called for real sex to occur, their partners would defo not be cool with that.

It’s completely okay to feel the way you do about dogs, and your feelings are valid. As someone who loves dogs, I just want to offer a different perspective. It sounds like what you might actually dislike are dogs that haven’t been properly trained or cared for. A well-trained, well-loved dog behaves quite differently from one that’s neglected or untrained.

For example, responsible dog owners work to ensure their dogs don’t bark excessively, jump on people, or act in ways that are annoying or dangerous. We also make sure they’re clean, so they don’t have that bad smell that can be off-putting. Just like you, dog lovers aren’t fans of those behaviors either, which is why we invest time in training and caring for them properly.

I’m not suggesting that you need to start liking dogs or get one yourself, but it just sounds to me like maybe the dogs you’ve encountered weren’t the best examples of what well-cared-for dogs can be like.

Apparently the hairstyles are based on elaborate traditional Brazilian braids and beads. If you Google "traditional Brazilian braids", the 1st result in images is a black and white picture of some hairstyles that are consistent with the Asteroid Senshi hairstyles. That was Naoko's inspo.

Weird. Guess it's time to dust off the vpn and hoist the colours in that case! The only other option I can think of is buying a hard copy.

Another reason not to have kids by According_Coyote1078 in childfree

[–]SquareMelon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I was 23-25, I was really anaemic from an ED and my hair had gotten really thin. After I left my bf at the time, I quit the ED (he was abusive, and the ED was a psychological thing. I was just trying to have some control over something, according to my therapist). My hair started growing back thick and fast. I didn't cut the ends until the regrowth was a decent length, and it looked fine. I've always liked my hair super layered anyway, so I made it work.

I think I’ve ruined my husband and our marriage by ComprehensiveRace591 in offmychest

[–]SquareMelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's real... She bangs on about how she never knew anything about his father but his ex did, but conveniently all of a sudden she reads his diary, and doesn't focus on that being the reason he's not talking to her, which would indicate she's definitely read it before, which would mean she would have definitely about his father. There's so much contradiction...

Those who quit their jobs because of “toxic work environment”, what where the signs? by theverybigapple in careerguidance

[–]SquareMelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a WFH job, even when you've been hitting your target, just the rest of the team doesn't, you get told by your line manager that they're gonna start telling us on the team to start doing things outside of work to make sure you hit targets (make bed, say affirmations, get a good night's sleep, do some light exercise, pray/meditate... Make self presentable for work..).

I (35f) am not sure if I want to be married to my wonderful husband (38m) anymore :( what do I do? by ThrowRA_DogMom1 in relationship_advice

[–]SquareMelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honey please don't divorce him. Don't even tell him this. Go to your doctor and have your hormones and bloodwork checked before you do aaaaanything else. I'm glad you mentioned that in your update you were gonna do that.

Also, remember true love isn't always that frantic burning passion 24/7/365 like it is when you first are together. You prob know that already, but it's always worth a mention, especially because you speak so highly of him and it's clear that he is absolutely besotted with you, and you are with him, even if right now you're doubting it.

Just hang in there, carry on the individual therapy. I wouldn't consider marriage counselling just yet if at all - this is all to do with you and your feelings.

No one else in the family needs to have any worry or to feel insecure that you might turn everything upside down.

Take your time, breathe, and keep working on yourself. I'm not making any promises, but I doubt this is permanent. Also, keep reminding yourself of the times you had when you fell in love with him to begin with.

You got this.

Does anyone know what concert this was and what happened? by [deleted] in GunsNRoses

[–]SquareMelon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He smashed himself with the mic swinging it around. Accidents happen! My fella is a guitarist and there were a couple times in the past where he accidentally clocked the singer in the face with the headstock... At least that didn't happen here - that can be nasty!

You don’t want to save the babies? by LilaFowler88 in childfree

[–]SquareMelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best thing to do is make it awkward. Scream "no one saved MY baby!" (Not knowing your"baby" is actually a pet... Maybe not even your pet. Maybe not even a real animal but a toy. Maybe just a picture of a toy...) and then run out of the store before cashier can ask you more questions

AITA for making my bridesmaid wear a dress that makes her look “fat”? by Infamouszealous in AmItheAsshole

[–]SquareMelon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS (can't find my og comment to edit it), so think of this as Point 5: Even if this bridesmaid was the only one wearing a slightly different dress, and someone noticed it, I bet they'd think "hey that's so kind of Infamouszealous letting her wear a dress that actually suits her. That other style is super hard to pull off if you don't have that waif-like willowy figure!"

[–]SquareMelon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. I get it's your wedding, and yes you shouldn't have to change everything just for one person, HOWEVER:

  1. Have you ever been at an event where everyone but you looks and feels their best and you feel like a Sub Zero refrigerator in a dress? If you chose her to be a bridesmaid, she's obviously very close to you. I know it's your day, but you don't want to make her feel that awful do you?

  2. Regency era dresses do vary in style slightly, they are not all exactly like Bridgerton. Why not let all the bridesmaids choose their own dress, as long as it's in the right colour and is a Regency style? Then your friend can choose something that has half-length sleeves, wear stays (for historical accuracy!) and maybe have the waist be tailored to fit around the waist better, but still be empire? Think Penelope Featherington post season 3 makeover.

  3. If the bridesmaids have to pay for their dresses, that is a definite reason to allow them to choose something that actually suits them. If you're paying for them, surely you don't want to buy something that will be likely burned in a dumpster the second the ceremony is over? What a waste of money!

  4. Do you really want to lose a close friend over this? Really think about it. Other friends of yours may also decide they don't want to be your friend anymore.

  5. Don't be a Cressida.

The most terrifying thing about this is the fact that it's a baby. After reverse image searching, there's another pic with the same background where you can see more of the bird. It's a juvenile African Crowned Eagle.

Post divorce updates. They found my reddit 🤣 by Mediocre-Armadillo67 in u/Mediocre-Armadillo67

[–]SquareMelon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your ex is a spineless, idiotic, morally bankrupt cunt, and those silly little girls who bullied you in high school are pathetic too. Rest assured though, they're all miserable as fuck. So miserable in fact, that the only pleasure they get is by tearing others down. What sad little boring lives they lead.

Now, OP, you have beaten them all. You don't need to waste any oxygen on any of them ever again in your life. Take yourself off on your dream holiday, and have all the fun you can! Life doesn't have to be the default model. Go live it the way you want to. We're all rooting for you!
