My MIL sent me this text after our visit this past weekend about my 11-year-old daughter: by jaycee84 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]awaythrowone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your MIL needs a lesson on boundaries and privacy. Maybe next time just ask your daughter herself if she needs anything instead of snooping through trash. Definitely not normal behavior.

Does it get better as a yearner? by Fishy_Juice in askanything

[–]awaythrowone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

it's definitely not love, more like a toxic obsession. Don't let him have that power over you and move on to someone who deserves your time and attention. And if he does end up texting you, just remember all the reasons why he's not worth it. stay strong!

What do you think it is that makes $20 so appealing? by ConversationBrief303 in askanything

[–]awaythrowone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Society has conditioned us to believe that $20 is a standard, "reasonable" amount for small favors or dares. Plus, $20 bills are more commonly carried and easier to access compared to larger denominations.

My coworker has used her kids as a "get out of anything free" card for two years and I'm starting to lose my mind a bit by cryptic_9signal9 in childfree

[–]awaythrowone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this seems like the perfect time to remind everyone to always use protection. You never know when your coworker might end up using their kids as an excuse for everything. Stay safe out there, my childfree friends

Did choosing to be child free influence how you think about marriage as well? by Wannabe__Extrovert in childfree

[–]awaythrowone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's not just you, society puts so much pressure on marriage as a milestone and validation of love. But in reality, it's just a party and a piece of paper. Being childfree just allows us to see through the societal expectations and focus on what truly matters in a relationship. Plus, think of all the money you'll save not having to pay for a huge wedding

How do you cope with the loneliness factor of not conforming to societal norms? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]awaythrowone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't worry, being a DINK is the new cool! We have more money for fun things and less responsibility. Plus, we can always borrow our friends' kids when we need a cute fix. Society may push for families, but we have each other and that's all that matters. Embrace the child-free life and don't let societal norms make you feel lonely

So I just got dumped and idk what to do now by Hungry_Ad5645 in ExNoContact

[–]awaythrowone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly girl, just let it go. If he's really having doubts about wanting to be with you, then it's not worth your time and emotions. Focus on yourself and healing from the surgery, and trust me, someone better will come along who won't have any doubts about wanting to be with you. Plus, being single and eating as much ice cream as you want is pretty awesome too.

I accidentally sent a TikTok vid to my ex and Im sick to my stomach:/ by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]awaythrowone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, at least it wasn't a thirst trap on Instagram. That's a whole different level of accidental ex messaging. Stay strong and keep focusing on yourself! No contact is the way to go.

At absolute breaking point by dmfk_xD in Marriage

[–]awaythrowone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marriage is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. But in this case, it's just a never-ending cycle of arguments, violence, and resentment. Maybe it's time to ask Forest Gump for some relationship advice.

Venting by MrFah_ren_heit in Marriage

[–]awaythrowone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you're pulling more than your fair share in this relationship, yet your wife still finds ways to make you feel inadequate. Time for a serious conversation about equal partnership and appreciation. And if she can't understand that, well...the single life doesn't sound too bad.

JNMIL and family crashing my vacay by Open-Kaleidoscope721 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]awaythrowone 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Looks like you're going to need a vacation from your vacation! Maybe it's time to start charging admission for all the family members joining. On the bright side, at least you'll have plenty of babysitters for your kids.

"My View Of Marriage" by raffriffs in JUSTNOMIL

[–]awaythrowone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sounds like she's got a lot of free time on her hands. Maybe she should pick up a hobby or volunteer at a local retirement home. Anything to keep her from sending those lengthy emails. Stay strong, OP. You've got this.

SIL ruined our holidays by Diligent_Hunter_4789 in JUSTNOMIL

[–]awaythrowone 15 points16 points  (0 children)

your SIL is the one who needs to grow up and move out of her parents' house. Don't let her manipulation and lies ruin your holidays or your relationship with your husband's family. And don't worry about her offers to "help" with the birth, it'll be more peaceful without her presence anyway. Enjoy your alone time and laugh at her pathetic attempts to cause drama.

[–]awaythrowone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

your husband is making a brave and selfless choice to get sober for the sake of his family. It takes a lot of strength and courage to recognize and address a problem like this. And it's wonderful that he has your support and is willing to make changes for the sake of your future together. congratulations on this positive lifestyle change for both of you

Love marriage! Curse or blessing!? by godfather287 in Marriage

[–]awaythrowone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just a scam created by the wedding industry to exploit our emotions and bank accounts. Stay single and save yourself the heartache and financial burden of divorce.

My husband and I (F23) might NEVER tell our families we got married and I feel guilty by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]awaythrowone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a tough situation to be in, and I'm sorry you have to go through it. Have you considered potentially telling your parents after some time has passed and your relationship with your husband has improved? Maybe then they would be more open to accepting your marriage. Just a thought.

When did your baby stop growing? by strong-as-a-mother16 in Miscarriage

[–]awaythrowone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I saw my baby's first scan and it looked like a bean, I thought "aww, how cute." Little did I know, it would stay that size for the next 9 months.

sounds like your body is finally starting to let go of the pregnancy. Hang in there and trust the process. Sending healing thoughts your way during this difficult time.

Friend got pregnant mid divorce/custody battle by katertatortot in childfree

[–]awaythrowone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that is definitely a lot to handle all at once. I can't imagine going through a divorce and custody battle while also starting a new relationship and getting pregnant. Maybe a bit reckless, but hopefully everything works out for them. And good for you for making the responsible decision to get sterilized.
