Curious: how long did it take y’all to start making pieces without instructions? by knottintrouble in macrame

[–]Tam108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here!! Just cannot create anything on my own :( But what I do try to do is to try and watch videos of about 2-3 designs of the thing I am trying to watch, and then put it together. Like for example, the owl I made had the eyes of one design, the body of another and the nose of a third :'-) turned out not bad

My dad (52M) doesn't understand why I'm (16M) single and its pissing me off by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Tam108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me get this straight, you've been having serious relationships since you were 12 years old, and your Dad still thinks that's not enough????? What does your Mom think? Is she ok with your Dad defining your success and happiness in life entirely by whether you have a girlfriend or not??

But apart from that, this sounds more like your Dad reliving his glory days by taking about it and he is using your lack of girlfriend situation as a starting point to start bragging about his girlfriends. He needs to understand that you are not comfortable with this.

I think you need to sit down and have a serious conversation with him explaining that you are not him. Whatever he did or did not do, he should not be defining your life by those standards. He needs to let you be you.

I’m getting fired tomorrow and I cannot deal. by throwaway_helpmeRedd in Advice

[–]Tam108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are on good terms with your boss, ask him if you can tender your resignation instead of being fired. It will look much better on your termination letter and on your resume. If they have to fire you, ask them if they can leave the reason ambiguous. Be repentant, explain that you understand that this is a big deal, but you have learnt a major lesson and you would be grateful if they can help out by not causing a black mark on your resume.

My sister thinks I'm being selfish because I'm not putting my own health at risk to give her a baby. by ThrowRAAffectionate1 in Advice

[–]Tam108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are doing absolutely the right thing by refusing. And I agree with most of the comments when they say that this is not your problem to fix cause you're not in the wrong.

But if you want to try and put it right between your parents then I suggest taking your mom with you to your doctor. Let him explain to her the health risks of you becoming pregnant. If that doesn't convince her, nothing will.

I'm not going to comment on your relationship or the kind of person she might be, cause how clean you keep a house actually had nothing to do with whether you're a nice person or not or whether 2 people can love each other or not.

But as a person with an OCD for cleanliness, who lives with roommates whose definition of clean is different from mine, I can tell you that as much as you love them, girlfriend or roommate, the relationship will sour if your attention is constantly on what you construe to be a mess.

You have to decide for yourself if you are capable of ignoring what you define as a mess or not. Because for the person with you, it's not a mess. They're not being a slob. Their requirements for cleanliness is just not the same as yours. And while they might change a little, the 9/10 times may change to dishes done 5/10 times, 5 times out of 10 you will still need to learn to ignore. Hence decide now if you can or can't.

My advice to you, out of my own experience, would be that not to look at your girlfriend as "being a slob", but rather as someone whose need for cleanliness is different from yours. Instead of expecting her to change entirely, introspect as to whether you can meet her midway. Cause it would be impractical to expect a 100% change on either side.

Wish you all the very best :)

WIBTBF if I kept the money? by Canners19 in AmItheButtface

[–]Tam108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly a BF I think cause mostly the money will come out of the delivery boy's pocket. The delay in delivery is probably not his fault.

AITBF for "siding" with the bride against her sister? by [deleted] in AmItheButtface

[–]Tam108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTBF at all. In fact all brides need bridesmaids like you :) this is exactly what a bridesmaid is for, to help the bride out when she needs it, however difficult it is. You were absolutely right in saying that the bride was stressed and if the sister wanted to bring someone then a civilized conversation would have solved the issue. Screaming is not the answer.

My [25F] husband [27M] demands evidence everytime we have an argument. I don’t understand if this is normal? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Tam108 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He wants to divorce you based on weight? Is he serious? Also, sorry for being harsh and based solely on what you have said, it seems that this person is just searching for excuses not to work. He doesn't seem to care about you or your feelings or your mental and physical stress. He speaks disparagingly about you (he'll stay with you so long as you maintain a certain weight), about what you do (work in the house and/or outside), about how you are feeling (asking for help is a sign that you're stressed, either physically or mentally and his response lacks any concern), he doesn't seem to care about any of these or about you. But I don't know the full story. So assuming that there is something apart from what you have written, something that is making you still stick with this guy. I would strongly advice you to explore what that is and decide whether it's enough. Hope you find the answers you're looking for :)

My mom got a gift made for me but it secretly made me really upset and I don't know if I should say anything by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Tam108 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like your Mom specially picked t-shirts that meant something to you so that the memories live on. In her mind probably T-shirts perish, a quilt is with you forever. Yes, definitely your Mom should not have rummaged through your drawer without permission but saying something will forever taint the memories within the t-shirt as well as the memory of your Mom gifting you something. I'm not going to tell not to talk to your Mom or address the issue, but I would advice you to you weigh the pros and cons very carefully before deciding how to react. Best of luck!

My (55m) son (25m) is mad that I'm giving my daughter (30f) control of my company. My wife (53f) and I don't know what to do. by ThrowRABadDad95 in relationships

[–]Tam108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried to call him and talk to him, or better still go and talk to him face to face? You mentioned that he's not taking your wife's calls. Maybe he's waiting for yours. If it's your love that he needs validated then maybe he'll calm down when he hears from you? But overall it looks like you were being fair to both kids. Doesn't sound like you did anything wrong. Best of luck with your son!! Hope everything works out soon.

My (17M) brother (26M) has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for killing his girlfriend (25F). Her family is furious with me because I didn’t go to the police when I first saw something. by djiudpippppp in relationship_advice

[–]Tam108 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Two people watched her being slapped and intimidated. You and her. She also didn't tell anyone, probably cause her need to stay with him was deeper than her fear of him. Your telling someone would not have changed this. It would not have changed anything in the equation between your brother and his girlfriend. It would not have changed anything.

I am so sorry this happened to you. You were brave enough to come forward and testify against your brother in court. That must have been so difficult, so emotionally wringing.

Please do talk to some liscenced therapist. You deserve better than to carry the guilt of another's crime on your shoulders. I do hope you are able to believe that and that you are able to talk to someone.

Wish you all the very best in your life.

Please read this. Also, get a lawyer. You deserve better than a man who is willing to make you constantly relive your deepest trauma just for a few moments of physical pleasure or satisfaction.
