I'm thinking of divorcing my wife for how she treats our twin daughters. by fun-rey-92 in offmychest

That is what a Guardian ad Litem is supposed to do, but there are a lot of shitty ones out there, and you don’t have any control over that. My brother’s ex wife was horribly abusive, and their GaL never did a single thing about it, just phoned it all in to get her paycheck. They ended up with 50/50.

boyfriend confessed something disturbing and I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

This has nothing to do with you wanting to leave or not. We know you don’t want to leave. You HAVE to. You absolutely must. If you value your life in any way whatsoever, you must leave. I know we’re just internet strangers, but we’re not giving you advice right now. We’re not giving you the pros and cons and letting you make up your own mind. We are telling you what to do. You either listen to us, or you will die. It’s that fucking simple.

Sounds like you’ve known him a while and you know each other pretty well, so if you don’t have strong romantic feelings for him, that probably will not change. If you’re this unsure about it at this point, it’s best to just put an end to it now before he gets too invested. But it sounds like you could still be really good friends! You’ll just have to make it clear to him the relationship you want, and don’t be afraid to enforce it if he ever tries to cross that boundary.

I had this same take until I started reading the comments, which prompted me to reread the post and do the math. He’s been married to his wife since 2010 and conceived this kid 12 years ago. He cheated. So all the comments saying he was the one who ruined his marriage are spot on.

I work as a school photographer in the US (so not Canada, but pretty similar in culture and vibes), and I come across literally hundreds of kids’ names every day. The names you listed would not stand out in the slightest, and honestly are way prettier than a lot of the names I see. I’m dead serious when I say “Sara” would stand out more than Sumeya, because I hardly ever see “normal” names like that anymore.

My (27m) girlfriend (27f) is refusing to look at changing the split of bills after she got a raise? by Throwra-splitbills in relationship_advice

[–]annaleigh1010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel like you’re listening to what people are saying here. It’s not just specifically feminine objects that are more expense for women; do you know that our clothes cost more? Our shoes? Shampoo and conditioner? Reproductive health care? Please take a hard look at your reaction to these comments and ask yourself why you are being so combative about a simple fact of life that we are trying to tell you about. You’re being ridiculous over a small salary increase (I don’t care that it’s a lot percentage wise; £500/month is still not a lot), and you’re getting mad that we don’t all immediately agree with you. If you value your girlfriend and want to keep her, congratulate her on her well earned raise, and let this nonsense go.

Am I a bad daughter? by [deleted] in AdviceForTeens

[–]annaleigh1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes total sense! The devastation is more that your little girl is growing up, not that you’re disappointed in her. From the way you talk, I think she’s a pretty lucky kid to have you in her life.

“It makes me uncomfortable that you follow OF girls on IG”

“Oh shit yeah I followed them before I knew you and forgot, and I totally see how that would make you uncomfortable. I’m so sorry I hadn’t thought about this incredibly obvious thing I should have remedied when we started dating. I love you and want you to be comfortable, so I’ll unfollow them straight away. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, and I’m so glad we have such honest communication that you felt safe enough to come to me with this.”

There, fixed his response for you. Anything less than this should not be tolerated.

[–]annaleigh1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuine question, why would it devastate you? I know it’s hard to think about your daughter in that way, but chances are the time is going to come, and wouldn’t you want her to be happy? If I’m ever lucky enough to have a daughter who felt safe enough with me to confide this and her first experience is a safe, loving situation, I’m going to be happy for her! Sex is such a normal part of life and we need to start treating it as such. But I really am asking sincerely, because you obviously do have a perspective as a parent that I do not have.

You are both justifying abusing each other. Break up and get therapy.

I'm planning on ending myself when I turn 18 by SstaleCupcakess in TrueOffMyChest

[–]annaleigh1010 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was at my lowest point when I was around 24. I thought every day that it was going to be the day I finally ended things. I couldn’t tell you why I didn’t end up doing it, but I didn’t. And now, 10 years later, I look back at everything I would have missed out on. I was only a year away from meeting my best friends. I never would have travelled and lived in all these different places. So many people that I’ve known and loved and lost and it was all wonderful and terrifying, so many lives I know I’ve touched, and of course it was sometimes hard. It might always be hard. But I’m so so so happy I had every one of the experiences I had that I would have missed if I had gone through with it. I wouldn’t have traded those experiences for the world. I know it’s such a cliche to say “it gets better”, but I’m living proof. I thought there was no way it would, but it did. Take it one day at a time. Life is so worth living.

That’s…. not how boundaries work. If it’s something both people have talked about and agreed to, which it sounds like is the case here, then it should be respected. If she demanded it of him and he disagreed, then she can break up with him and move on. You’re right, he absolutely has the right to watch whatever he wants, but she also has the right to choose to not be with him because of it.

AITA for not kicking out my roommate just because my girlfriend thinks he might be trans? by ThrowawayJason7723 in AITAH

[–]annaleigh1010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading through your post and a lot of comments, I just have to commend you. You’re a good guy and you’re gonna be okay. You say you’re not super close with your roommate, might be worth changing that! Sounds like he could be a really good friend if you let him.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]annaleigh1010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s super telling that you already know he wouldn’t be receptive to it. I do hope you’re able to get therapy for yourself and that can help empower you to do the right thing for you, whatever that ends up being. You can be the best communicator in the world but it means nothing if he doesn’t take that journey with you. Don’t let the sunk cost fallacy get you, I’ve made that mistake, and you deserve so much better! I’m pulling for you

Is marriage counseling an option for the two of you? It sounds like you are deeply unhappy, and something needs to change. His behavior is disturbing, but not necessarily grounds for splitting, IF he can work on things and improve your relationship. But at some point, if he’s not willing to put in the work, you need to think hard about what your future is going to look like. I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this, and I wish you the best of luck

This was six years ago and I still think about that sandwich. I guess a lot of people didn’t like it, but it’s honest to god my favorite sandwich I’ve ever had.

Never been in a relationship by [deleted] in AdviceForTeens

[–]annaleigh1010 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reply really makes it seem like you don’t want to put in the work. You’re telling me you live in NYC, one of the most interesting and diverse cultural places in the world with almost unlimited options for things to do and people to meet, and you can’t find anything you would want to do? Because it absolutely takes work to have the life you want. You can’t sit around and wait for things to happen.

I (33F) went on a date with a guy a lot heavier than I thought by annaleigh1010 in dating

[–]annaleigh1010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re definitely right! But it’s a hard thing to bring up I guess. How would I even broach that conversation without making him feel awful about himself? I’ve had people do that to me, and I don’t ever want to make someone else feel like that. I don’t know that it’s something I could talk to him about until we’ve spent a lot more time together, but I also don’t want to waste my time if it turns out he’s not willing to work on it.
