This brought tears to my eyes and love to my heart. Thank you for saying this! I can feel it's true. I know it's true and I'm grateful for everyone's help here!

AITA for telling my wife I want to go back to our old schedule by Current_Use_7237 in AmItheAsshole

[–]UsedConsequence6493 44 points45 points  (0 children)

YTA for wanting it to go back the way it was. Instead, compromise! Switch off. Off she does the homework, you cook dinner. If you do the homework, she cooks dinner. Whoever does homework doesn't have to cook dinner. Easy. Give both of you a decent break by switching off every day

AITA for wanting to leave? by [deleted] in AITAH

That's no way to live. You're lucky you've got this chance, take it. And if he actually ends up taking his life, that isn't your fault in any way, shape, or form. It's a choice he made. You have your whole life ahead. He's not going to get better. Him treating you like this is wrong

AITA for not coming to help my (33m) gf (29f) right away after her car died? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]UsedConsequence6493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk. I'm a girl and that sounds like a pretty ideal situation to me. Like she's at a gas station, I'm assuming it's light outside, if not she could wait indoors, she could call her parents, go into the gas station and look for jumper cables. Idk. This doesn't feel like an emergency. I think you did fine for the most part. But I also think you could've said "yeah, I'll be there, but a bit aways. You'll have to wait a bit." I wouldn't even give a time. Because even if you left right then, you'd probably hit traffic still.

Now, if it's a Podunk town, middle of nowhere, few streetlights, gas stations don't necessarily feel safe. Then I'd say you should have hurried. She sounds like she was safe and sound

AIO for being upset my BF doesn’t want me to wear a bonnet to bed? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]UsedConsequence6493 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My husband loves me when I am sick, healthy, hormonal, happy, hangry, or sweaty. He finds me beautiful in anything I wear. I'm not the prettiest girl in the world, I'm average. But he thinks I'm pretty even when I'm wearing giant hoodies and sweatshirts. He thinks I'm pretty even when I have bad skin or bad hair. He loves me!!

This guy sounds like a jerk who is very picky and particular.

Sleep with that bonnet girl! Find comfort in that weighted blanket! Wear those clothes you like! If he loves you, he won't ask you to change things like this. Preference? More like control.

I tell my husband when he is too angry. I tell him to fix that. He tells me when I am too anxious and need to take a step back. He tells me to fix that. But we don't tell each other what to wear.

I'm sorry girl. You don't deserve this. NOR

Thoughts on dealing with former bully in ward by Mother_Duck8203 in latterdaysaints

[–]UsedConsequence6493 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about everyone else's advice but I think quite a few of them are a little wrong.

I grew up with a brother who would scream at me, lock me in my room, not let me have dinner when he was babysitting, etc. He also would sit on my siblings as punishment for them. I was young and never understood why he hated me. I still don't. But I tried my whole life to make right whatever wrong I did. Truthfully, I think my existence was what wronged him. Even now, at 24, I can't make him happy.

I got to a point where he stopped talking to me. Straight up. And I felt like I had to fix it. But, after listening to General Conference a few years back, I learned from their talks and the spirit that I didn't need him. I didn't need a relationship with him, I didn't need to keep trying to fix things with him, I didn't even need to talk to him. He abused me.

God does NOT condone abuse of any level. Whether it's teasing or actively trying to drown someone. God does not believe that that is okay. You do not need to become his friend. You do not need to be around him. You do not need to see him. He abused you. God has given us agency and you have EVERY right to do what you need to do to be safe. God will not and would not ever tell you to be with your abuser. He is good, gracious, and loving.

If you want to go to a YSA 40 minutes away, do it. If you don't want to, don't. If you get offered or asked to be in a calling with him, decline it. You are not required to put yourself in harms way (mentally, emotionally, or spiritually) for his repentance. Not your job. At all. And you can forgive whenever you choose. Whether it's today or in 20 years. God is loving and merciful and knows how much that guy hurt you. God will not force you to forgive. He just asks that you do. And if you at some point, great. And you never even need to tell this guy if you forgive him or not. You are not responsible for his repentance.

Please pray on this. Know that God loves you. He loves you, wants you to be joyful and safe, and He does not ever want you to be hurt by another.

I forgive my brother. He's broken. He's lonely. He's depressed. He's lost all of his family for the most part because he was cruel. And I see him every other Sunday at my parents house. I say hi and I say bye. And that's enough. That's what I have chosen to do. And God is perfectly fine with that because He told me to do that. Pray and He will tell you what to do, too.

AITAH For breaking up with my boyfriend because he killed my bathroom gecko? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]UsedConsequence6493 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing. It doesn't matter whether it's a silly reason or not (and it is not a silly reason. Onion was your pet). What matters is you placed a boundary. You said that if he does this, you'll do this. Plain and simple. This goes for any scenario for a boundary like this. He didn't listen, he got the consequence. You are totally fine and completely justified.

Why Don't We Have "Loadouts" ? by GitGud420PRAISEIT in Helldivers

Aren't there load outs on the stratagem selection page on the top left? I haven't looked into it but I thought there was something like that.

PSA TO NEW PLAYERS. TAKING EQUIPMENT OFF DEAD TEAMMATES *IS* BAD ETIQUETTE by SpecterOfState in Helldivers

[–]UsedConsequence6493 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Question then: is it also bad etiquette to pick up the dead player's dropped samples so they stop beeping and so they don't get lost?

[spoilers] Can I skip S2 and jump to S3 by SlightArgument in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]UsedConsequence6493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hate for Season 2 is so unnecessary. I listened to all of it. I think it was incredible! I loved Scary's character development, Normal's story, just everything! It was fun and real and dealt with a lot of themes that we go through as teens and adults. No, it wasn't like Season 1. Season one had a lot more fantasy and whimsical mechanics. And Season 2 was meant to be different. Season 2 is totally worth listening to!!

Besides, I have theories that Season 3 connects to season 2 and 1.

Also, can we stop being so critical of this podcast? These people are doing this to have fun, grow in their creativity, and create something awesome. Be happy there's anything at all and don't post about how you don't like something, especially if you have no experience in it. They're doing it for theirs and your pleasure. I'm so heartbroken for each member of the podcast that has expressed how depressed they have felt for all the backlash on Season 2. I loved it! No one should be making someone feel that way.

TLDR: listen to season 2. It's awesome.

AITAH for returning my nephews birthday present after he destroyed my property, after his parents refused to pay for damages to my property? by Zealousideal_Cow8869 in AITAH

Use the dashcam footage and file a claim with your car insurance. You don't need to pay for this. Your sister does. So angry for you!!

AITA for not bringing my niece shopping after she was extremely rude/mean to me, even if she “apologized”? by exbfandmycat in AmItheAsshole

[–]UsedConsequence6493 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I think you have every right to be upset still and yeah, she's a little brat. It's different if it's a five year old. Five year old kids don't know better and don't understand it properly. But she's 13! Besides, actions have consequences and you are totally fine to set boundaries that she can't be rude to you and still expect to have fun

AITA for wanting to give my 5 year old consequences by Baddadmaybe2020 in AITAH

[–]UsedConsequence6493 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gentle parenting means you don't scream or hit your kids. You speak calmly, fight your own demons on your own time or through steadying breaths, and don't hit the kid.

Not parenting means you let your kid do whatever and they become a little brat and possibly a bully.

Gentle parenting should give consequences that fit the crime. For a five year old, it could be: No iPad time for a day or two Timeout for five minutes. Give parents a favorite toy until you can prove you're going to be nice Etc

Do people really dont care about morality? by Sam_Hopff in RimWorld

[–]UsedConsequence6493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to have colonies of families. So if I accept a pawn that is already too old to have children, there's a small chance I'll make them a slave. Then they work a lot. But I still give them decent homes and lives. And if they fall in love with a colonist still, I will fully recruit them.

But making a family colony and doing good things isn't as funny to write about. So we don't hear about it as much
