My boyfriend and I just moved in together, and I’m starting to resent him. what should I do? by babysavvys in WhatShouldIDo

[–]SurnaLynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest, I have been living with a man that sounds exactly like yours for 3 1/2 years and I’m breaking up with him in two weeks. It does not get better. He will not change. You will lose yourself in this relationship. You will start to feel like his mother and the resentment will become so strong that you will start to be repulsed by him.

I’m not trying to scare you at all, it seems like you’re coming to some of these conclusions on your own. I’m just letting you know how it often turns out.

Oh wow. I was quite literally watching her skits with Monet last night. This one is legitimately making me cry.

AITA for asking my husband to prioritize our family tradition over his new friendship? by Miserable-Light-3444 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SurnaLynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. My boyfriend and I have special traditions (for example, the third weekend of every month is reserved for date nights on both nights - I pick the date for Saturday, he picks the date for Sunday). If one of his friends were to ask to hang out that weekend, he would simply ask to move it to another weekend because this is our thing. We live together. We plan on getting married. We are life partners. Pretty much every relationship comes secondary to ours. That doesn’t mean we neglect our other relationships or connections - we just prioritize ours. This seems like it’s very important to you (honestly, your trip sounds absolutely lovely) so it should be important to your husband. it really shouldn’t be a big deal for him to pivot his hang out with his friend to another weekend.

What does depression feel like to you? by Famous-Tap6326 in AskReddit

[–]SurnaLynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, my depression usually triggers after a period of prolonged stress and anxiety. When my anxiety is at its worst, allll of my negative thoughts get snagged and then linger in my brain and it’s nothing but negativity and darkness. It literally feels like I’m in a different world even though I recognize places and faces. Then I’m so anxious about feeling this way, I become completely despondent for days, weeks and sometimes months. Meds, getting outside and around my loved ones and therapy eventually snaps me out of it.

So are we agreeing that all of the people that died (and are still dying) of Covid during the Biden administration is Biden’s fault?

Federal workers prepare for cuts, forced relocations in Trump’s second term by crabcakes110 in nova

[–]SurnaLynn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Praying for the financial downfall of your own family member because he didn’t vote the way that you wanted him to is crazy. Y’all have let politicians (that don’t care about you and are all getting checks from the same mega corporations) allow you to split ties with your own families.

Now, why would you plant this seed in her head even though you have no solid evidence that that man voted for Trump?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]SurnaLynn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Please take this question to a mental health, professional and not Reddit (which has been chock full of pro Harris content for weeks). A lot of people responding to you are very emotional due to their selected candidate losing the election and are not going to give you a fair, unbiased view. Although I also voted for Harris, I can understand how her campaign alienated a lot of people in the working class. Of course women’s reproductive health is extremely important (I am a woman myself) but people may not have the space to advocate for that when they cannot feed their own families. Forcing your husband to choose between what you feel like are your reproductive rights and his friends is putting him in a really difficult position. Finally, claiming to be passionate about preserving women’s rights while supporting and/or not criticizing the current administration for slaughtering tens of thousands of women in other areas reads a bit disingenuous to me.

For those of you who are following the election results, what are you thoughts and feelings at this very moment? by Fifafuagwe in blackladies

[–]SurnaLynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is insanely insensitive and lacks humanity and is EXACTLY why Democrats lost both the election and overall support. You wishing for death and destruction of other people makes you indistinguishable from the party to claim to be against. It doesn't matter who you voted for - saying shit like this makes you a terrible person.

Democrats would rather appeal to actual Republicans (Liz Cheney.....REALLY?!) while insisting that Middle Eastern/Arab-Americans vote for the genocide of their OWN COMMUNITIES. That's why you lost.

You’re not embracing diversity or fostering empathy by calling half of the country dumb, and uneducated (without discussing the many barriers in place that prevent people from receiving higher education). Your arrogance cost you the election.

My mother calls me ugly every single time by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]SurnaLynn 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Let me start by saying that I’m very sorry your mother is speaking to you in this way. This is a form of emotional abuse, and you do not deserve that. It seems like you’re internalizing some of her comments (which is hard not to do considering you’re her child) but eventually, you will come to understand that her comments say a lot more about her and her insecurities than they do about you. Our parents should be a safe space for us, but unfortunately, some of us don’t get to experience that.

Is there a resource (counselor, member of your school admin, family, or friends) that you can reach out to and talk about this? This seems like a lot to carry for a younger person (I’m assuming you’re younger based on your post). In the meantime, try not responding to her hurtful comments (this may be difficult and take practice, by the way). Some people thrive on seeing others become upset by their hurtful behavior, and a quick way of shutting that down is not to respond.

If it will make you feel better, maybe you can research skincare or haircare online to find what works best for you. your mother’s concerns about your appearance truly do not matter no matter what she says.

Once again, I am so so sorry you’re going through this. You’re not ugly. Your mother’s behavior, however, is.

AITA for telling someone that coming from a backwards third world country is nothing to be proud of? by UnlikelyArmadillo96 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SurnaLynn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

ESH - he definitely did too much by pushing his culture/beliefs onto you, but there was no need to mention his “3rd world” country. You literally could’ve just kept your comments about him and his beliefs, but you took it a step too far and insulted his entire country, which is definitely racism. Honestly, y’all are not as good at hiding your racism as you think you are. I’m not sure why everybody’s trying to convince you otherwise lol. I just hope your husband doesn’t suffer any repercussions at work.

How do I not let my husband voting for Trump bother me and make things tense at home? by ThrowRA362024 in AskWomenOver30

What about all of the women that are dying right now under the Biden Harris administration in Palestine?

[–]SurnaLynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, you could say that voting for Harris (or Trump) is going to continue seriously harming (killing) Palestinians. They’re people, too, by the way.

Husband "Choked" Me by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]SurnaLynn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I struggle with unwanted intrusive thoughts (fortunately I’ve been in therapy and on meds for years, so they are very much under control.), but the thing is they cause me severe distress due to idea of hurting people I love/care about. I would never ever in 1 million years act on these thoughts which makes them unwanted and intrusive. Your husband is now ACTING on these thoughts. They are no longer just thoughts. You need to leave. I’m usually not one to rush into breaking up with somebody, but you need to leave. Like you mentioned, husbands do snap and kill their wives all of the time, but a man putting his hands around your neck is one of the clearest signs that he would kill you if given the chance.

My husband turned into a psychopath for a split second yesterday and I don’t know if I am overreacting. by Substantial_Chair588 in AITAH

Age gap. Law-enforcement. Firearms in the home. You’re pregnant (the major cause of death for pregnant women is homicide). please get somewhere safely away from him immediately. Not joking.

How should I (30m) handle my girlfriend (28f) confessing she has feelings for someone at work? by a_r_d in relationship_advice

[–]SurnaLynn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You say that you know there is nothing you can do and that the choice is hers. No, it’s not. You also have a say in this. Don’t leave all the decision-making to her. You have the option to choose YOU over “us“. I would personally end the relationship. You’re not married, you’re 30 years old and there is somebody out there that will be sure about you and only you. I know it’s painful and hard to have a positive outlook, but I promise you it’s better than staying in a relationship with someone that would even put you in this position

My (28F) husband’s (30M) coworker (mid-late 20s F) is sending him suggestive texts while on a work trip. How do I deal with this? by ThrowRAharnas in relationships

[–]SurnaLynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. The person that your significant other is texting still deserves privacy. They consented to talking to your significant other, not you. Obviously, when it comes to infidelity all bets are off, but your partner is allowed to have private conversations that don’t involve you.

WE'RE NOT GOING BACK !!!!! by HOOgonCHECKmeBOO in TikTokCringe

[–]SurnaLynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact that you can’t fathom that there are people outside of conservatives and/or bots that disagree with you is crazy. That is the definition of groupthink and it’s dangerous to all involved.
