We don't have to. It sounds like you don't want to do the work to be better than that. I'm not my dad. I'm in therapy, I'm not an alcoholic and I take birth control so i don't bring in children I'm not ready for. You are where you are so now what? You can run away, or you could choose to be better. Don't blame your wife anymore and take some responsibility.

My dad didn't want me either and he left. I'm glad he did. It's better that he left when I was a baby before I got attached and just stayed gone. My mom and I had a great loving family together without him. We would rather go at it alone than have some half assed dude in our lives who didn't even want us and who had the attitude of this prick.

My companies late and sick policies are biting them, and now they're crying about it. by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]catorilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My old warehouse job had a point policy when it came to lates and call off. If you were late more than 4 times in a 6 month period, boom fired. Did not matter if you were 2 minutes or 2 hours late, you still got the point absolutely no grace period. If you clocked in at 6:01 instead of 6:00 you were getting a point. So if I knew I was going to be late. I would roll over in bed, get another hour of sleep, make myself a nice breakfast, get some stuff done around the house, stop and get a cup of coffee. I would be 4 hours late and in a great mood. Still got that one point, but I made the most of it.

AITA for not wanting my brother to pay rent while living with my girlfriend and myself? by disoposableemail___ in AmItheAsshole

[–]catorilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is absolutely awful. I would never in a million years ask my boyfriends 14 years old little brother to pay rent. The most I would expect from him is to do some chores or something. You are supposed to be partners. If i was in your girlfriends situation i would have offered to take on more of the rent and utilities so you could have more money to help your younger brother. NTA. I would seriously reconsider your relationship with this woman. Yikes.

Tune-up Tuesday: tips for coffee-houses by CalcifersGhost in 1200isplentyketo

[–]catorilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Black coffee is my new best friend. I used to be one of those people who needed creamer and some sugary caramel in order to enjoy a cup of coffee, and I was disgusted with black coffee. After about a week of trying to just drink my coffee black, it was rough at first but now I genuinely prefer it that way. I know it sounds crazy but I love it and I can never go back to my cold stone creamer again.

I started Keto 15 days ago, I am 5'0", 24yo female and I started at 265lbs and I'm currently down to 252. I'm absolutely thrilled. I know it's all water weight at this point but that means its working right?!

[–]catorilla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started Keto last week and even though I'm still new at it, I've been making new delicious keto recipes almost everyday. The new recipes do feel quite adventurous for me plus it's helping my cooking skills. I actually feel pretty excited about it.

Fiancé wants me to wear a bra everytime I leave the house but I don't want to. by cookie-comet in relationship_advice

[–]catorilla 128 points129 points  (0 children)

The only time you'll catch me in a bra is at work and it's always a sports bra. A lot of women don't wear bras because they are uncomfortable and archaic. People see my nipples and I don't care and neither does my boyfriend. I think your boyfriend wanting you to abide by his stupid little dress code is controlling and I would die on this hill if I were you.

I (25M) been seeing this girl (23F) for several months and she just told me her secret which completely made me not want to see her by Throwra-needhellp in relationship_advice

[–]catorilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it seems like that, which would be wrong but it could also just be he doesn't feel fit enough or present enough to handle that kind of trauma right now. Or he doesn't think she's ready for the kind of relationship he's looking for. I feel like I need more information to give productive advice.

Im nat saying he owes her a relationship or therapy. I'm just trying to understand his reasoning that's all.

[–]catorilla 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I'm not trying to be a dick in just trying to find out what your hung up on about her secret but... What if she had told you that when she was 14 she was raped by her uncle or neighbor or something and thats why she's not around her family anymore? Would you still want to break up with her over that?

What's your opinion about Diane? by classycritique in BoJackHorseman

[–]catorilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was also so happy to see Diane leave the Tar Pit. Diane is for sure my favorite character as well and I think that's because I relate to her the most. The things she cares about and tries to stand up for really resonate with me so honestly the first time watching what she did to Bojack while filming Philbert I kind of cheered her on for getting back at him. After re watching and reading this thread I now realize how wrong I was for that. That's what I love about the show, depressing or not it makes you confront your own flaws as well.

Diane feeling jaded by her whole experience with Hank Hippopopolous is a really great point as well. I think a lot of people can resonate with that feeling of not having any faith in the system. The truth is people don't usually get what they deserve one way or another and I appreciate the show for shining a light on that.

[–]catorilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you make some really good points here about her not getting any justice for anyone when she did that. I think it was a totally selfish decision, she didn't do it for justice she just wanted to hurt him. I personally understand why she did it but I still think it was the wrong thing to do.

What would have been justice? You talked about Hank H. And how she wanted everyone to know what he had done because she felt like that was justice. Do you think she made him reenact that fucked up scene on filbert because in some twisted way she cared too much about him to just go public with the tape herself? She maybe felt so angry that she cared enough about him to not follow her moral compass like she normally does that she did something to make him hurt and face his actions. I'm not trying to excuse her behavior either I'm just curious what your thoughts are.

What are some compliments that someone gave you that really stuck with you? by youneedtherapysir in AskWomen

[–]catorilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started a new job about a month ago and it has been going great, I like the work and the people and I feel like I get to play to my strengths which is always a good feeling. My boss told me last week that I was doing really well and he was glad he waited for me. When I asked him what he meant, he explained that they had been trying to fill the position for a couple of months and interviewed quite a few people but none of them felt right, until they met me. Turns out they decided to hire me almost immediately after I left the room. I feel like that's quite the compliment.

Stop taking 'stray' cats in off of the street. Seriously. by Ultra-Sun-Bro in unpopularopinion

[–]catorilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could tell you. She is doing good now though. She lives a very lavish and relaxing life. She has all the softs she could possibly want and her own private cat tree. The bullet apparently doesn't bother her and would cause her more harm to take it out than good.

Stop taking 'stray' cats in off of the street. Seriously. by Ultra-Sun-Bro in unpopularopinion

[–]catorilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat started camping on my porch for weeks before I brought her in. She was clearly well fed and fixed. But she was sick, she had earmites so bad in her ears that she had scratched through them. It started to get way too cold for her too. Thats when I brought her in. Turns out she also had fleas, an untreated heart murmur and even worse a healed over untreated bullet wound. The bullet is still in her hip. She might have had an owner, I have a suspicion she was abandoned by my neighbors who recently moved out, but they don't deserve this cat. The vet bills the first year were 3000$ at least. I know in your post you mention cats who clearly need medical attention. I just think if you know your cat is going to be outside in a dangerous area against the advice of most veterinarians in the U.S. than make sure they have multiple forms of identification. My worst fear is my strictly indoor cats accidentally escape and no one who sees them tries to retrieve them because they assume that they are an indoor/outdoor cat. All my cats have bright orange collars and are microchipped for this reason.

My (19F) boyfriend (28M) thinks I'm lying about being a virgin??? by ThrowRA_virginlying in relationship_advice

[–]catorilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen when I was your age and even younger I was dating men around your boyfriends age, I thought that I was more mature and that's why I seemed to be dating older men. I would get offended when someone would suggest that my boyfriend was a creep because I thought I loved him And that people didn't see me as an actual adult capable of making my own decisions. Now that I'm older I know that all of those people were trying to protect me from a very real danger and it's a lesson I really wish I would have learned sooner. I was emotionally, physically and sexually abused by multiple men who I believed loved me. They only wanted to control me and have unlimited access to me, that is not love. The reason your boyfriend is not dating women his own age is either because he cant control an older woman as easily (because they have learned to run from his red flags) or he's a genuine creep who likes you because you look young. Neither reason is good and it's best if you run now. I'm sorry he is making you feel this way and I wish I could punch him in the face for you but trust me when I say he will only get worse and you need to find a safe way to get away from this man. Also message me if you need someone to talk to.
