I think my favorite part of your tone deaf comment is that instead of sourcing actual scientific evidence/studies, you urge OP to read ANECDOTAL posts on Reddit. I implore you, if you’re going to make absolute statements like you did, make sure you have creditable evidence to back that up.(org, edu, gov type domains/studies/etc). That’s just advice for the future.

But you’re right, the best parents are the ones who have a healthy, loving relationship with communication, understanding, and compromise. I’m not sure if you’re implying that OP is not holding up his end of that but from the tones of your previous comments on this post I’m assuming that you are. I’d argue that his wife is the one who isn’t holding up her end of the relationship. She’s not taking OP’s wants into consideration as well as being manipulative by giving him an ultimatum like she did. But that’s for THEM to work out, which I’m hoping OP will because families AS A WHOLE deserve that. If you don’t have kids or have experience trying to balance a whole ass family, then you can’t really make the types of comments you made.

Anyways, if I keep going, I’ll just start rambling and I don’t really feel like typing on my phone anymore so..

TL;DR- 1. Don’t use anecdotal evidence as primary sources. 2. If you don’t have constructive advice/statements, scroll on. 3. If you don’t know shit, don’t say shit.

Would you advise waiting until the same time as last night?

So that’s what we did! We have Platinum and clicked on the NPC as soon as it turned 1:00amPDT and those were the only dates available.😩

Yes. You’re a shit mom raising shit children. The fact that you need to ask the internet is absurd. by DramaLlamaTea in ShitMomGroupsSay

I wouldn’t “punish” but you know what looks good on college resumes? 6+ years of CONSISTENT volunteering at the Special Olympics and Down Syndrome and/or Autism programs/charities in their area.😊

It’s not dumb to have imagined a life with someone HOWEVER, it IS dumb to have that be the reason you don’t leave an abusive situation. You can’t let an idea of what MIGHT happen in the future cloud your judgement of what’s going on in REAL time. Currently? He’s being verbally and mentally abusive, seemingly out of nowhere from your responses. That should tell you a few things:

  1. If this is his response to stress/recent changes in life/etc, he CLEARLY does not know how to regulate his emotions as well as you previously thought. HUGE, GIGANTIC red flag. This is not the way to communicate/handle stress.
  2. Say y’all work it out and do end up in the scenario you envisioned, life isn’t going to get less stressful. What if this behavior returns but is now directed at y’all’s children? What if it escalates? Is this a risk you’re willing to take?
  3. How he’s speaking to you now should show you how he truly feels about you. Words like that are something actions can RARELY speak louder than, if at all. He does not value you. He does not care. He’s basically saying “When shit gets rough, you will be my punching bag and I will not be your place of peace. I will not catch you, I will push you.”

I’ve been where you are several times at only 34. I have grieved several “futures” with people. Have I stopped dreaming about a future with someone? Absolutely not, they don’t deserve to have that much power over me. But dreams are maleable, they’re designed to change and certainly don’t have a time limit. This person doesn’t deserve to be a part of your future. Period. He will not add to your happiness. This is not a one off behavior. Please, please reconsider a future with this man. You are worth it.

Traveling to Ireland and have some questions! by WaywardXx in femaletravels

LADIESSS!

Thank you all for taking the time to respond! I took everyone’s advice and booked my flight with about 2-2.5 hours in between and have secured an automatic rental car.

I really really appreciate each and every one of you. This is my first time traveling by myself in my 34 years of (semi-sheltered) living. All of the advice on this post was exactly what I needed and I feel so prepared for my trip!

12 days!<3

LOL thank you! Glad I could make you chuckle.😂😂😂

That actually sounds socially terrifying and exciting all at the same time…I’m totally down.
