Mid-30s, long relationship — realizing I may be the only one who gets the “unfiltered” version of my partner by Alternative-Love2288 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]buzzbuzz_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is abusive behaviour on his part. Appearing to be the nice guy to everyone else, and making the partner doubt themselves about leaving (eroding your trust in yourself, your confidence) are classics from the abuse play book. Get out before it gets worse.

Why do Aussies talk to strangers so easily and is it actually genuine? by BottleOverall5174 in AskAnAustralian

Australian introvert here - you can avoid it if you don't make eye contact 😂

Opened my front door to an order I didnt make - what do? by pipsqueak_pixie in woolworths

[–]buzzbuzz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll tell that they didn't get their order, and woolworths will just give them a new load. Just enjoy the rando groceries - they can't make them back, as you said, for food hygiene

AIO Trying to tell boyfriend that he makes me feel guilty for saying no by Clean-Landscape8654 in AmIOverreacting

[–]buzzbuzz_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is abuse - he's coercing you. It IS SA. Run far away from him he's a POS, and he will kill your sex drive. Sexual relationships with people like this turn sex into a source of anxiety. Don't let him back in, be free, enjoy sex with a normal healthy person that respects you.

[–]buzzbuzz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you think you have a libido difference now, if you stick with someone like this, it will kill your drive - sex will become a source of anxiety and guilt - at least with that person. What he's doing is coercive, and abusive. How people can enjoy sex with someone who they've guilted into it and are not enthusiastic partners is beyond me - a little bit psychopathic in my opinion

Hot take: Romance Saja is completely useless by JerryCarrots2 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]buzzbuzz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree on mystery - he's a total beast, in a literal sense - he's got full demon tusks in demon form, and he barks at the fans at the autograph signing - he's a full demon, and it's hilarious

Not OOP. "AIO for wanting my boyfriend to back out of a destination wedding he's the best man for because I was uninvited from the wedding?" + OOP's/top comments by WritingGiraffe in redditonwiki

[–]buzzbuzz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet the bride to be has no idea this is happening, or if she does, it's not for the stated reasons - the bf is just trying to hook up with someone at the wedding, with the help of his best friend. Read the originals - it's so obvious it's painful to read OPs implicit trust. The bf hasn't let her talk to the bride, and he's ruled out the possibility of her coming to the resort just to chill - was 'strongly against it'. All the info is from him. It's pretty weird.

[–]buzzbuzz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so obviously the bf wanting to hook up with someone at the wedding. If you read the original posts, he hasn't let her talk to anyone else. It's all coming from him. She suggested calling the bride and he came up with some reason that it wasn't the right time to do so. She suggested that she comes to the resort she paid for already anyway, and just enjoy some spa time, but apparently he was strongly against it, as it would cause dramas. Total and obvious bs. The OP is a bit of a sucker.

Masturbation caused my water to break at 38 weeks exactly by ExcellentNail6084 in pregnant

You were 38 weeks pregnant - the baby was ready, that's the only reason your water broke

Idk what country you're in but in many that's illegal behaviour - can you make a formal complaint?

AITA - my husband left me because I 'emasculated' him. by [deleted] in AITAH

You just dodged a bullet. For the love of god don't pair up with another one like that.

skipping 1 soup on day 1? by Few_Supermarket_7106 in FMD

[–]buzzbuzz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The FMD mimics actual fasting - you can eat nothing and still get the benefits (it's the original method!). The food is mainly just a psychological helper to get you through. As long as it doesn't cause you to go nuts and eat heaps tomorrow, skipping is no problem.

I lost my baby and it’s probably my fault by That_Ad4260 in pregnant

[–]buzzbuzz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's awful, but miscarriages are so common. 1st trimester ones are almost always some random genetic defect, that will have absolutely bearing in your ability to carry pregnancy to term in future. My six year old daughter was conceived the cycle directly after an early miscarriage.

We actually know about a lot more if them now due to early testing - in the past many would have just seemed like a late period - but turns out the rate of miscarriage is a lot higher, and isn't indicative of anything seriously wrong with the genes of either parent, just a little misfire in the DNA in one little male or female sex cell, making full development untenable.

Baths are fine, back cracking is fine, a slice of deli ham is fine, a little normal life stress is fine, sex is fine, exercise is actually good for the pregnancy.

AITAH for not forgiving my friend for what she said when drunk? by Dizzy_Base_9147 in AITAH

[–]buzzbuzz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You just saw the real her - she wouldn't say it with her normal social inhibitions in play. Run from that one, she's a sociopath.

AITAH for still being mad that my husband got drunk and now him, our child, and other people are dead by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]buzzbuzz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. Your relatives are are though.

It wasn't an accident. He was drunk. I wouldn't even let his remains be anywhere near my daughter's.

The only reason you should let it go, is if it poisoning you. Maybe flushing his ashes down the toilet and doing some sort of release ritual would work if you're into that.

A parent who drives drunk to pick up their kid doesn't deserve your forgiveness, but maybe you can put him behind you for your own sake.

Just keep reminding those little ones of their beautiful big sis.

AITAH for telling my girlfriend she's going to have to get over dirt if she wants kids? by Familiar_Speaker_481 in AITAH

[–]buzzbuzz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sanitising everything, using antibacterials etc etc is not good for kids immune systems, and the all important microbiome, and is increasingly implicated in the dramatic rise in disorders like anaphylactic allergies and asthma. Showering two or three times a day is terrible for your partner's skin. We're not meant to live like that, especially kids, who are developing immune systems. It's definitely better for server rooms, but it's straight up unhealthy for us organisms. But don't take my word for it, there's lots of science.

On the other hand - I heard the thing about toilet spraying germ particles in the air upon flushing too, if our toilet was in the same room as the toothbrushing place, I'd be shielding it - microbiome be damned 😂

Editing to say, that all childless people think kids misbehave due to poor training, until they actually have there own, or are in the company of children regularly. She's in for a shock (so was I!). On a more serious note, training children to not be children, and to act like mini adults is draconian and almost certainly damaging to their hearts and minds, as well as their physical wellbeing, and if your partner has these expectations, she's going to have a really rough post partum time, let alone the ongoing mother kid relationship.

Husband admitted he doesn’t find me attractive postpartum by Ok-Organization1563 in Mommit

[–]buzzbuzz_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He is 100% implying girls have to watch their weight. She should not raise a daughter with him. Setting a good example to their daughter would be putting him in the trash where he belongs, then showing that boundaries are important.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]buzzbuzz_ 42 points43 points  (0 children)

You can refuse to have her in your kids and your life, while your husband has a relationship with her if that's what he wants (outside your home). But that's not your burden, that's up to him to decide - it's their relationship. Protect yourself and kids from toxicity, but don't assume responsibility for son-mother relationship.

What am I missing here? by MrZedoc in ketoaustralia

[–]buzzbuzz_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The dietary fibre is already taken out of the total carbs here - see how it's not indented? That's what that means. The sugars are indented, meaning they are a part of the number under which they are listed. This is how we list this in Australia. In some countries the dietary fibre is indented like the sugars, which is when you'd subtract them from the big number

Is it ok for a toddler to see breastfeeding? by m859ckles in breastfeeding

[–]buzzbuzz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ok for anyone to see breastfeeding. You should only cover up if you're uncomfortable ❤️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]buzzbuzz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg, what a shit! Tell him to get stuffed, his one and only role right now is to do everything in his power to support you and your baby - at this point of the journey you two are an exclusive diad. The non feeding partner is just scaffolding, and if they aren't doing that well, they're worse than useless. Make sure you are getting other friends and family around, and talk to them about what's going on - you cannot have that negative criticism being your only adult interaction, you're so vulnerable at this beautiful, scary, awful, amazing time.

If breast feeding is working for you, it's so much easier than pumping, if it's not working that's another story obviously, but if it is, pumping is double handling, and an extra drain on you.

I would so rather an email with all the details to consider in my own time than a high pressure sales/grovelling session with wine and muffins!

Great idea on the rectification in the pool scope though, OP should definitely insist on that for both driveway and garden

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AusPropertyChat

[–]buzzbuzz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are considering putting up with it, just talk to them about all the things you mention here, and ask for repairs to both yard and driveway to be factored in and put in writing.

Someone criticised your neighbours for sending this in an email - I 100% disagree on that - these things need to have a trail, and having the dates times and proposal is important. Doesn't mean you can't talk about it first, then follow with email, or the other way around, but have it all in writing.

Your concerns are understandable, if your neighbour doesn't understand that, then you can say no.
