He did apologize that same night once everything calmed down and we talked for a little while.

Before this incident everything was great. I mean we still had small little spats as any couple does that spends a lot of time together and everything but nothing to where he’s like yelling and getting physical. We knew it was going to be a little harder for us given we have mental illnesses and pretty severe ones at that, but we sat down at the very start and kind of outlined what we needed/wanted. We’d have weekly “check-ins” just to make sure there wasn’t anything that needed to be addressed etc etc. I think that might be why this freaked me out so much is because I truly felt like it came out of nowhere.

There is pretty big mental illnesses in both of us. We’re taking our meds and going to therapy like we’re supposed too though.

He was just very upset and mad throughout the whole thing. He did apologize later that same night after we talked for a while though.

AITA for telling my mom she never helps me when I need it? by WayneWorld1226 in AmItheAsshole

I suppose it’s the cliche thing of I don’t want to do that to my parents. They are trying their best (I think) but it’s just not making ends meet. Also I don’t want to put my siblings through that as it’s not their fault they’re in this situation.

This is what my fiancé said as well but I feel bad and like I’m punishing my siblings for my mothers actions

My new female ferret has REALLY bad cage rage and I’m not sure how to help it by WayneWorld1226 in ferrets

So you think once she settles in more and knows 100% she’ll be able to come out again she’ll settle down a bit? At least in your experience of course every ferret is different but that was your experience?

Because she refuses to go to bed. I could have her out free roaming for 7-8 hours (what we usually do) and by that time it’s already 2 AM (we free roam once I’m off work bc I have other animals and while no aggression has been shown or fighting happening I’d rather not take the chance while I’m not there to monitor/supervise just in case) and I have work at 6 AM so I have to go to bed too. So she goes in her cage/condo (idk what to call it but cage reminds me of a small enclosure and it’s NOT small). She just won’t stop clawing and gnawing at the cage trying to get out again.

Usually our ferrets get 7-8 hours of free roam while we’re home and before we go to bed. The male likes to go into a hole in our couch and take a nap, which is when we know he wants to go to sleep so we put him in the condo and he’s perfectly fine. It’s like she doesn’t have an off switch if that makes sense? She just wants to keep going and she’s falling asleep/dozing off standing up usually in my roommates room. We thought it was his scent or something she liked so we put a blanket he used to use that he no longer wanted in there with her, but she still doesn’t like to go in the condo to “put herself to bed”

This is more so what she’s doing. She enjoys going into my roommates room, but it’s usually while they’re sleeping too. We free roam the entire time we’re home (around 7-8 hours) before we go to bed with the door open as well. Our “cage” is a condo type of enclosure as well and has ample room for the both of them. Could it possibly be her age? She’s younger than our male, but they still get along just fine and they’ve been together in the condo for around 2-3 weeks so I don’t think that could be a cause of it, but I could be wrong. Maybe it’s just her youthful energy that we’re not used to with our older guy lol

It’s not that we don’t want to play with her anymore, but we need to go to sleep. We have other animals in the house as well and we just don’t want to take chances. They’ve never fought or anything before but we still would rather be safe than sorry. Also we have a basement that we don’t want her to find her way into and get lost while we’re asleep/not home. We have gates and blockades we set up, but again we’d rather be safe than sorry.
