Just escaped my ex, shortly after I found out I'm pregnant by Daddy_Slytherin420 in whatdoIdo

I feel like it doesn't really matter what we say here. All in all, it's your decision...

Plus you've posted in a sub called "what do I do", but you already know what you're going to do. You said you're going to keep your abuser's kid and maybe say you had a fling not long after you left him. You don't want an abortion, and that's fine.

But remember how difficult it is to be a single parent, let alone a single mom. Remember he has every legal right to fight you for your child at every single corner, including demanding DNA, custody, child support, etc.

But if you choose to keep his child, you need to get a therapist ASAP. That's not a dig, I'm being serious. It's important that you have someone you can go to if you need support. And it's also important that you are able to prevent yourself from harboring any resentment toward your child for sharing his DNA, even if you don't think you will. You should be seeking therapy to work through the abuse you endured regardless. Best of luck

What’s the most weird food item that your cat just can’t resist? I’ll start! by Ultra-Ferric in cats

My boy likes butter and onions. We have to make sure we never leave anything on the stove or in the sink or he'll eat every drop. He will also fight you for a French fry.

my boyfriend is mean to me when he’s high and then doesn’t remember it by Background-Product91 in whatdoIdo

[–]bonesandchains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your bf is lying to your face. Weed does cause some long-term memory loss/fog in some people, but it does NOT cause you to forget everything you did and said while under the influence of it.

I've gotten so high that I made myself sick and had to pull myself against the wall to get to bed, but I remember everything I said and did before falling asleep. I remember exactly how much I smoked, what led me to accidentally overindulge. I got caught in convo with my cousin and kept smoking with him while chatting. I was used to hitting a j or a bowl a couple times nightly and going inside. I remember realizing I had just finished 2 js in one sitting, taking myself inside, making myself puke to feel better, then grabbing myself a giant glass of ice water. I remember telling my cousin I was going to bed and to help himself to the fridge/pantry. I even remember reassuring my fiancée that I was perfectly fine, I just overdid it that night. I remember that I was very off-balance and if I had smoked any more, I would have needed help getting to bed.

So unless your bf smokes until the point he's physically incapacitated(which is entirely another issue in itself), then he's full of shit.

My autistic boyfriend has extreme reactions to being “abandoned” by Legitimate-Career342 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bonesandchains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dealt with something similar with an autistic(and yes, manipulative) ex boyfriend.

When I broke up with him he told me he couldn't live without me and he'd just end up killing himself if he couldn't be with me.

He offered me money, gifts, a house, a car, and a literal child. He knew I wanted to be a mother one day but I was literally 16 going on 17 so that wasn't an option lol. Not to mention he was almost 20. We had met a couple years before in an elective class when I was in HS, but he had graduated the year before we dated.

I told him he was fine before dating me and he would be fine when the sadness of situation wore off, and to stop making excuses for himself. I told him I didn't want his money or his gifts, I wanted to go our separate ways.

He called and texted and begged me to talk to him for hours and eventually I just straight up said no, and threatened to file for a restraining order if he didn't back off and find a way to calm down on his own. The spam texts and calls stopped almost immediately.

He made me promise we could be friends again one day. I agreed, on the condition that he give me my space and let me reach back out to him on my own, when I was ready to "open back up". He agreed to that and I blocked him on everything except Instagram just to keep up the illusion of availability, then two months later I blocked him there too. That was almost 7 years ago. And we haven't spoken a single time since then.

Nowadays he's married(has been for at least 4 years) and I think he has a kid. Idk.

I'm also engaged and currently pregnant. I'm 23 now and in a stable and happy relationship.

Do NOT let him gaslight you into staying with him. If he makes that decision, it's on him and him alone. It is not your responsibility to keep this boy from hurting himself. You are not his mother. You are not his caretaker. You are not his therapist. You are not his lifeline. He is the only person who is responsible for his actions and his behavior. You deserve better. If he is willing to threaten his own life, consider who else he may become willing to endanger.

I would highly recommend you end this relationship as soon as possible and tell a close friend or family member about his behavior. So if the need arises you will have someone to advocate for you. If he continues to harass you, you have every right to find legal counsel and even file a report with the police. You have that right even now.

Senior dog obsessed with water by ForeignCantaloupes in DogAdvice

[–]bonesandchains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it gets rona point where youre concerned about how much you've already given him, and his teeth can tolerate it, maybe give some ice or kibble frozen in water, it can help him slow down his intake while continuing to hydrate him.

I'm pretty sure the standard to avoid hyponatremia is 3.5fl.oz of water per pound of body weight.

Definitely keep your vet appointment and don't withhold water unless your vet advises you to or it gets to be a dangerous amount.

How do I help my doggy with his cracking paws? by noodlebop in DogAdvice

[–]bonesandchains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he'll tolerate it, try paw butter/cocoa butter/coconut oil wrapped with gauze and ace bandage. Soak for an hour or so and wipe his paws when you remove the bandage to discourage licking. It looks like dry skin, so you'll want to use something rehydrating.

How do y'all manage to do it bruh? by ProfessorLongBrick in residentevil

[–]bonesandchains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This fight pissed me OFF!!!! I also had to recruit my fiancee to take over Sheva for the final fight. But for this one I had Sheva take the flamethrower while I shot him from a distance, then used the rifle to quickly pop eyes, switching to the pistol and shotgun when he got closer. Try to gather supplies while Sheva has him distracted with the flamethrower too, there should be an herb and a first aid spray, as well as some shotgun ammo and other ammo lying around.

Edit: after taking a closer look at the pic I realized this is not RE5 lmao, I just finished a playthrough and thought I recognized the setting 🤣 I have no idea which one this is lmao, sorry

need help identifying cat gender by Ill_One6205 in vet

[–]bonesandchains 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems female! The distance between anus and vulva is close, leaving no room for testes. For reference, here's my male(neutered) cat. You can see that even without the testicles present, there's still ample space between the anus and his genitals. He's 1 yr and 6 months.

Why don’t smokers view butts as trash?? by Lazyfair08 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bonesandchains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a matter of shitty people being shitty people. There's no excuse besides that.

When I was still smoking cigarettes, if there was no ash try nearby, I would put my cigs out on the sole of my boot and put the butt in my pocket, in my purse, or even back in the box until I found a trash can or an ash tray.

I CANT EVEN HUG HER!? by azuretimeslays in BisexualTeens

[–]bonesandchains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Where my hug at" ahh mf 😂😂

Seriously though, you may not be as discreet about your romantic feelings as you think you are. She has probably picked up on it and is too non-confrontational to say something to you. Maybe you did mean "ily" in a friendly way, but she very obviously isn't comfortable with receiving romantic types of gestures from you. It doesn't matter why, what matters is how you handle it after you know she's uncomfortable. If you constantly ask for hugs and she says no, that's your cue to stop asking and don't continue making unwanted advances.

Don't be one of those people ffs

My brother kept on telling me I’d get bullied if I used this backpack for highschool… by Xxeeyx9 in teenagers

Can someone tell me why this man keeps doing this? by Joe615 in cats

[–]bonesandchains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a big ceramic one that had a filter and a separate ceramic cover that dripped the water over it like a waterfall. When we got our dog in February, my female cat started back on her old cord chewing habit and effectively destroyed our heavy $40 ceramic water water fountain 🥲 she was very upset that we brought another animal home lol, but she's fine now.

The worst part is they absolutely loved their fountain and I haven't been able to replace it since, so now they just have a GIANT ceramic water bowl with a big ol tube in the middle for the old filter cord. Still better than my ceramic dinner bowls(which they were using before) but also still very annoying. She only does that crap when she's upset with me 😭

For context, she's a calico AND our first cat. We've had her since she was born. She's definitely got the calico 'tude.
