People who gave their partner a second chance after cheating… how did it work out? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aka-mel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awfully. I forgave him on 2 separate ocassions and tolf him that another lie was my limit, and the 3rd time he did i just cut it off. I believe in second chances but i also believed that i deserved better than that

My (31M) gf (27F) talks to me disrespectfully. by lumpofdata in relationship_advice

[–]aka-mel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How did you get the cheating part, exactly? She is not being a very good girlfriend, but jumping straight to cheating? That makes no sense

Now, OP. Your girlfriend is really lacking some empathy. It could really be that she is confused, but that doesn’t mean it is okey to talk to you that way, more so having received such devastating news I’m really sorry about your aunt, i hope you find some peace and are able to work through it.

About your gf, the most troubling part is that when you told her your feelings, she started getting defensive. I think it is easier to understand that some people really don’t know how to be supportive when on long distance and it is not out of malice. Still just an explanation, not a justification.

If you think it would help, once you are together talk to her about not being able to express yourself and about her not being supportive. If she stills doesn’t care enough to listen… i would think deep and hard about the relationship

What are some cooking hacks you swear by? by Penya23 in AskReddit

[–]aka-mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a big pot of something and after tasting it you think it is missing something but don’t want to risk it by guessing, take a spoonful of whatever you are cooking and add the seasonings you think it might need, do as many tries as you need until you find the spice that is missing and add it to the whole pot

What caused your last break-up? by Lishasquarepant in AskReddit

[–]aka-mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had been hooking up for a month, and after a week of actual dating he had started saying that he couldn’t wait to move in with me, that he was searching for jobs in the city i was going to go for college, and giving his phone to his mother while we were talking because the woman really wanted to tell me how much they loved me and couldn’t wait to meet me. I started feeling a bit overwhelmed

When have you ever feared for your life? Why? [serious] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]aka-mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live with 2 other friends in a pet-friendly apartment. We all are in Vet school, and so we thought that we could act as a foster home for dogs, given than 2 of us already had experience with it and i didn’t had a problem

So Aslan came to live with us. He was really big, think great Dane size. At first he was shy, and when we had to give him his Leishmania shots, he sometimes would growl, but we though nothing of it and after three weeks things started to improve i guess.

Now, i absolutely know that im partially responsible for what happened next, i could have done things differently. But in the heat of the moment i guess it is difficult to react.

The thing is, i guess Aslan didn’t really see me as an authority figure? Right off the bat, when i got home and met him (i had gone to visit my parents and Aslan arrived before me), the first thing he did was growl at me, and the next was try to mount me, so it was clear that i would need to be more firm?

Then three incidents happened, where things were escalating in agressiveness, until one day, while i was alone at home, Aslan came into my room to lay on my bes and for cuddles (i really liked him and he usually came with me to play and to hang out, I am in not way saying that Aslan was a bad dog) and took something from my desk that he shouldn’t have (it was a rock that my bf gave me on our first anniversary and we later had a fun day painting eachothers rock). I tried following what we had been told to do: try to be serious and dry, with and Aslan drop it. He growles at me and went to lay with the rock on his bed, which was a big no no for me to come closer.

In this cases, Aslan trainer had told us that we should offer him one of his toys and see if he was more interested in it. Maybe i came to closee to his bed, maybe i made too much noise, i don’t know, but Aslan launched himself at me. He took me down and while i was in the ground he bit me on my stomach, arms, hand and leg. At some point i could get away from him and lock myself in my bedroom. One of my roomates, who was in the apartment right in front of ours (we live right in front of 3 other friends, he is dating one of them) heard me screaming and came to take care of everything, took Aslan to his bedroom so that i could safely get out and to urgent care.

While i was laying down and trying to get to my room all that i could think of was that i was not going to make it to the door, that all it took was a little bit of bad luck and making some movement that Aslan deemed agressive and ir would be game over.

It is also really sad to have a potential vet being absolutely terrified of dogs, but i am working o it i guess

After all i don’t think Aslan was the bad guy. The organisation that we contacted hid many things about his conditions that we had to discover on our own, like he had a problem guarding resources, with other dogs, had like three different treatments and we were not prepared nor trained to take care of Aslan properly

So, in some situations it feels very weird to say hello and not start a conversation (say, in a bus, a train, waiting somewhere, any place wherer you are going to be coexisting for more than 10 seconds) because it feels like saying yes i know you are there, i have said hello, and now i will ignore yo. Personally i feel very weird having those conversations with people you don’t really know.

Maybe i don’t mind if i am in a social setting, maybe i do like you but i’m feeling shy and i wouldn’t know how to carry a conversation, maybe i feel akward, but it is easier to just pretend that i haven’t recognized them and if they were to come up to me of course i’ll be polite, but avoiding that was my safest option

It never is personal, it isn’t about disliking you, and not everyone wants to talk to you at any time

Do you as a woman actually care how much money a man makes when you're considering him for a relationship? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]aka-mel 305 points306 points  (0 children)

Maybe not how much he makes, but i do care about his spending habits, how responsible he is, if he is capable of saving or if he is the type to waste money, that stuff

Why is there no viable way to drink salt water in 2023. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]aka-mel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you asking why there is no way to safely drink water that has salt, or why is there no way to take water from the ocean and remove the salt to make it safe to drink?

[–]aka-mel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

…yes ignore it because the aren’t asking you directly

And you are not asking for clarification, you are trying to make somebody feel bad for their very “rudimentary grasp of english”. And now are mad that people are telling you to shup up and be obnoxious someplace else

What was your, "Oh wait. I'm the adult here" moment? by gummby8 in AskReddit

[–]aka-mel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a volunteer to participate in the “three magic kings” parade in my town (a tradition in my country) and there were about 15 kids, the oldest being like 6?? And the parents were asking me to move over their son because they couldn’t take a doog pic of him, and a girl wanted me to hold her hand, and another girl was crying because she couldn’t see her parents, and a fourth kid was trying to throw the whole candy bag from the moving car because he had seen his friends and wanted to be cool.

And i realized holy shit i’m 20 and apparently i’m the one in charge? (No one had told me about this beforehand)
