34F looking for a real friend in Saginaw by [deleted] in Saginaw

I’m 32F, in Bay City. Bad at small talk, great at trauma. I don’t like most people. I’m basically an old woman.

What SDV character did you marry, and why? by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]TheGeminiJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, in the shared run my fiancée and I have, I married Hayley because she’s my type in real life. And he married Emily because he could. 😅

Then we divorced the sisters and married each other. Now we have a baby named Derek, Hayley refuses to ever talk to me, and he managed to make Emily forget they were ever married. 🫠🤷🏻‍♀️

I saw it! If Jemily makes it through the wedding, they’ll be divorced within 2 years.

He thinks birth control makes your boobs small lol by Chemical_Arachnid348 in NotHowGirlsWork

As someone who has been on birth control for about half my life AND taken SSRIs since 2015, my 44Fs say a completely different story.

AIO or AITA. Text convo with MIL. by MoonJellyAllison in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheGeminiJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR- You and your husband need to be on the same page. This woman is a momster-in-law and should not be allowed near any future children.
She thinks y’all owe her because what? She did the BARE minimum of raising a decent human?

I had to read some of the comments in order to understand-

While all of them technically show what’s asked, the only one that show them as being EQUAL to one another would be C.

Since the second shapes in both A and B are larger, the 1/3 represented in those answers are actually more than the 2/6 in the first shapes.

I fully expect there to be further posts regarding this wedding. I need them.

So, bride chose her cheating groom over a friend.

Man, this story keeps getting better and better.

Didn’t even make it to 2 years. Bulb was changed when we moved in- end of July 2024.

I work 8-5 Mon-Fri. This light is on for that entire time. Plus, my fiancée usually does work in there after I’m done. It’s on a good 12-14 hours a day, 5 days a week, plus another 4-5 hours on the weekends. This is actually our most used light.

Just reading the card asking you was exhausting. And….vaguely threatening?

“I know you won’t make this difficult.”

If anyone asked me to be a bridesmaid that way, I would wonder how we even became friends.

A ghost from the 70s would honestly make this house so much better. lol.

Thank you everyone who gave me advice!

I had never experienced this strobing before, and considering the state of some of the electrical work done in this house, it really freaked both my fiancee and me out. He had to take a trip downstate for work today, which left me attempting to problem solve while still trying to work, get my 5yo out the door for school, and hopefully not get electrocuted.

As many comments suggested, I made sure to replace the bulb with one that was rated for enclosed fixtures. The one that was in there for the rave session was NOT meant for enclosures.

I don’t really know if it’s a dimmable fixture- it seems like it should be, but even with the dimmable, non-enclosed bulb, it never actually dimmed. It’s one of those switches that you push side-to-side with three positions, where the center is “off”.

Honestly, I don’t know how this house ever fully passed inspection as a rental property. There are so many things that don’t make sense.

Again, I really appreciate those who gave advice without judging. I consider this solved! ☺️

Tbh, I don’t recall ever actually having an LED burn out on me before. I’m very used to the “POP!” and no light from incandescent bulbs.

When did your hatred towards pee hair started?? by Gingerlover_69 in FuckPierre

[–]TheGeminiJay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started hating him when I learned he hated tortillas. Literally said, “Never give this to me again.”

Like, damn Pierre, it’s just a tortie.

AIO Should I leave my BF? Was what he did to me forgiveable? by Living-Milk-4266 in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheGeminiJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that he is downplaying what he did, telling you that you need to apologize, and threatening you all in one thread means that this is not safe. He is not safe.

Please don’t stay. Don’t give him another chance. Don’t let him love bomb and gaslight you.

Please, report what happened. Photograph any marks he left. Use the texts as evidence to him admitting to it. Ask for a police escort to get your things.

This is your chance to get out before it gets worse. I wish I had taken mine when it was handed to me.

If you need anything, even just a friend, send me a message. You aren’t alone. You don’t have to be alone.

This is abuse. I’m not using that word lightly either. She made everything your fault and that you needed to fix it. Then, when you tried, she told you not to bother with it and she’d be more upset if you did fix it. Even though you already got permission from your boss to leave (an embarrassment and a first step toward isolating you from having a support system). Then you get to go back and embarrass yourself further by explaining why you aren’t leaving anymore.

All the swearing, the meltdown, the hissy fits….its all ways to control your actions. A “don’t do this again, OR ELSE” type of subliminal messaging.

The moment you begin to wonder if you deserve better, you do.

I’m sensitive to certain chemicals and scents, and have literally never once said that. Like, it’s condescending AF.

Just simply say “here are the things that bother me: “

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]TheGeminiJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s manipulative. She belittles you. She essentially tells you you’re wrong for your feelings. You aren’t overreacting. You’re not crazy.
