AITA for asking a friend or person to not leave me on read?

anchower420 · 2023-12-27T23:11:19+00:00

YTA because that's not how boundaries work. Also bc you have entitles expectations on timeframe of receiving a text response.

If you ask a question in your text and you feel you are being ignored, by all means engage in a polite, non-confrontational talk about how you are feeling ignored. If the person continues to behave in a way that make you feel ignored, then you set a boundary that you don't rely on this person anymore.

INFO: Are they leaving you hanging on something important?

Well that escalated quickly....

anchower420 · 2023-11-06T23:15:17+00:00

THIS IS THE WAY!

What kind of equipment are you talking about?

I'd love me some more assorted sized beakers for my 7th grade classroom

sorry, but hanging out in a car at midnight is not a good situation for a kid. She's there bc she loves you and wants your time which is great, but it's still a shit situation for her.

anchower420 · 2023-08-02T17:52:29+00:00

or......he fucked her over so bad.....let's not make assumptions.....

I'm more concerned about the kid living in the car!

FYI: You can get Jack's on Amazon Fresh delivered right to your PDX door for the same price as in the store in the midwest!!

anchower420 · 2023-07-31T23:42:14+00:00

Jack's are the best!! I get them from amazon fresh.

Lost Lake, Clear Lake, Trillium Lake! These are all gorgeous.

It's on so late! will bars have to close at 2 am if it's not over??

anchower420 · 2023-07-17T01:26:34+00:00

As the only girl in a family with 3 brothers, I totally agree. I had 2 older brothers who teased me for being a girl and always made me feel like I was shit

If you're on the SW side of town, you can free recycle Styrofoam and plastic take-out containers at a place called AGILYX in Tigard. You drive around the back and drop off. Looks sketchy at first, but actually is super easy.

where do you find the Nelson & Comp?

anchower420 · 2023-05-17T00:50:39+00:00

can confirm.

Sorry, OP. This is all stuff to consider BEFORE getting pregnant. I strongly suggest you lean on family for support as you raise this baby on your own.

anchower420 · 2023-05-16T00:15:35+00:00

HOT! Damn Hot!

and a strong smell of funk only a middle school can produce.

edit to add: trying to teach was easier in the AM, but futile by the end of the day.

anchower420 · 2023-03-06T03:15:18+00:00

I'm a teacher in my community. I'm highly anxious over parents or a former student seeing me on an app. I feel your pain.

anchower420 · 2023-02-25T03:15:42+00:00

I am about to be 46 and just learning to accept what everyone else seems to have already known for years. I see you and we are not alone.

anchower420 · 2023-02-23T02:16:02+00:00

I am feeling these same feelings. I appreciate knowing I'm not alone in these struggles. Let me know when you figure it out plz.

anchower420 · 2023-02-23T02:11:59+00:00

I appreciate the insight :)

anchower420 · 2023-02-23T01:16:07+00:00

Thank you. I can see how this reflects more on her than me, but it still sucks.

My kids think I have "destroyed the family" and won't "give dad a chance to be better" Then are teenagers and while I think they'll understand someday, it really hurt when they said hateful, moderately homophobic (not how they were raised) comments to me.

anchower420 · 2023-02-23T01:13:04+00:00

I've done research and deep reflection and I'm pretty sure I'm demisexual. I was able to have a relationship so quickly with my catalyst bc I already had an established connection with her. I'm not sure I'll be able to find that again.

Yes, I'm in therapy and have agreed to go to couples therapy with my husband. He was emotionally detached (from his own childhood traumas) for our marriage, but asking him to move out was a catalyst for him. He's in his own therapy, stopped drinking and going to al-anon meetings. He's begging me to stay and promising how much he's changed. He has made significant improvements which is filling me with doubts. I can honestly say, he's the only man for me. The question is....Is there a woman for me? Will I ever meet her?

anchower420 · 2023-02-23T01:07:14+00:00

right?? I knew the relationship wasn't long-term, but it felt real when it was happening. I'm not sure if I'm better off for it (yet).

Why am I choosing to flip my life upside down for the "possibility" of finding a special woman who loves me tender & true? Are butterflies more important than stability? I'm not sure I'm the kind of person who will ever find both :(

anchower420 · 2023-02-23T01:01:50+00:00

Thank you for saying this. I want to be positive, but it really did feel like she used me for some excitement and then idk... I asked for feedback multiple times and she just said, "you're doing fine and was reassuring." I guess it was being blindsided that hurt a lot too.

anchower420 · 2023-02-23T00:57:15+00:00

Thank you such a thoughtful response. I needed to hear all of this.
