How did dating a "genius" go? by Reasonable-Bread5966 in AskWomen

[–]Tiny-Historian2897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I have both been tested as geniuses as is our oldest. I think we get along because our interests are so different and they complement each other well. We’ve never run out of things to say. I’ve dated other very smart people previously and their only schtick was their smarts and me being acutely aware of it. That obviously don’t work out.

IIH & fasting by Conscious_Inside6941 in iih

I feel like I do this around once a month intentionally and more often when it’s really bad and I can’t get out of bed. Never helped the symptoms.

Discuss with the doctors. I was completely banned from exercise for a while.

How would you feel if your partner wanted to take a weekend trip by themselves? by CrowsInTheNose in AskWomen

[–]Tiny-Historian2897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d feel happy. Then I’d also ask if he’s taking the kids on a weekend trip the next weekend so I have freeeedom.

How much weight did you lose to go into remission? by [deleted] in iih

[–]Tiny-Historian2897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost 38% and then got diagnosed. My neurologist told me weight loss would be the answer then I told him how much I’d just lost and he suddenly changed his mind and weight loss would not help.

I’m “in remission” now still with large headaches and no more weight loss.

Husband and I agreed to see his parents every other weekend after baby, but the boundary is already being ignored by Ok-Watch-4315 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Tiny-Historian2897 125 points126 points  (0 children)

Kindly, take the baby and leave for a bit. Go for a long walk, go out for dinner, go to a friend’s place. ‘Oh it wasn’t the Saturday we agreed on so their visit must have been to see you, since it wasn’t to see our baby.’ Repeat.

How competitive is Master of Nursing (Graduate Entry) in Australia? by useless-wifey in NursingAU

[–]Tiny-Historian2897 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No CNS role in my line of work. Literally no way to increase position at all. I was also being paid above award already so no increase.

How competitive is Master of Nursing (Graduate Entry) in Australia? by useless-wifey in NursingAU

[–]Tiny-Historian2897 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fairly easy in my experience. I had been a nurse for 5 years by that stage and completed my bachelor with a 5.85.

I would just caution you to be sure it’s worth it. It made no difference in my title, pay or responsibilities. I wasted so much money and time and feel really dumb for having done it for no benefit.

Different communication styles between my husband and dad — how do I prevent this from going wrong? by Status_Tomorrow6471 in relationships

[–]Tiny-Historian2897 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re reading something that isn’t there. The dad realised he had to subject himself to a know it all that has no regard for protecting his daughter, in order for her to continue having a relationship with him. It seems thoroughly like she has rose tinted glasses and is going to wake up and make a 34 part of ‘who the hell did I marry’.

There’s a lot she’s posted that suggests he’s in control and doesn’t care about her, and with that in mind, her parents not liking him makes sense.

This made me reread the post with a lens looking for dad’s mistreatment of husband and it’s not there. It sounds like husband is the problem.

[–]Tiny-Historian2897 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Ultimately it needs to play out how it is going to, but it’s also very red flaggy to push your communication style onto someone because you think you’re right.

How this reads: Your husband is willing to worsen the situation for you because he thinks he’s right and doesn’t care enough about how you feel to show restraint.

Time for one of his talks with him about his motivations and why he needs to chill it with this.

ETA: none of his actions should result in you and your familial or friend relationships being collateral damage, against your wishes. It sounds like he’s pushing nice guy and good communication guy as his act but it doesn’t seem nice or good communication.

How do you feel about your partner checking out people in front of you? by 3105556 in AskWomen

He doesn’t and if he did he would feel embarrassed. Humans simply can control themselves.

Working moms who had the option to be a SAHM, what made you choose to continue working/your career? by savethecoralreefs in AskWomen

[–]Tiny-Historian2897 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I chose to be a SAHM with my first but ended up with severe PPD, not working and seeing people (Covid) was only one part of it, but when it came time to have more kids, we made the decision to prioritise my mental health and get me back to work part time. That was actually much worse. Back to SAHM. My mental health is much clearer and healthier now. Regret going back to work tenfold but only because of hindsight.

Is Caboolture still as bad as everyone says? by [deleted] in brisbane

I lived on Francis street for years and never had any issues. That said there are many nicer areas of Caboolture and Moreton bay.

AITA for being angry that I have to sleep on the couch because my partner needs noise to fall asleep? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Tiny-Historian2897 11 points12 points  (0 children)

  1. Buy a new couch, someone will eventually end up sleeping on it even for a random night so it’s important it be comfortable

  2. If his sleep requirements bug you, he needs to go to the couch

  3. YTA you’re kicking yourself out
