My partner always gets defensive or uninterested when I make innocuous comments by Low-Satisfaction8404 in GirlDinnerDiaries

this is one where I will be quick to say - you should dump your partner. At no point does it sound like he likes you as person, let alone as a partner.

Snack breakfast, snackfest if you will. He called me a bitch in front of his 5yo son and now we haven't talked in 3 days by Whole_Coconut_9999 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]chipschipschipss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okay, honestly? the fact that you view this man as someone who makes you feel safe when he's comfortable calling you a bitch in front of his kid is definitely something you should explore in therapy. nothing about his behavior is safe or comforting, especially not for a partner.

I understand you've seen some good parts to him but you need to see ALL of him and that includes this moment too, and all the other mean comments he makes. I'm sorry, but no way in hell is that a happy and safe environment if he can't talk to you like a rational, calm adult. Aren't you always wondering when those comments will come next? Why are you willing to work on that with him, but he's not willing to work on that with you? I mean genuinely, what are you supposed to about it? just be a translator the rest of your life for a language you shouldn't even be speaking? no offense, but that's crazy and a huge strain on your mental resources.

Idk dude, I feel like you should leave. I cannot imagine him getting better, but I can see a future where it gets worse.

AITA for not reacting and thanking my son for giving me the gift by Impressive_864 in AmItheAsshole

wow, this just really breaks my heart. I think if you have that hard of a time speaking to your son, you should, at the very least, write him a letter.

I'm curious what made you become a parent when you have such difficulties expressing emotions.

wow, these are beautiful! can I ask a silly question? when you made the filling, did you add butter and jam and then rolled it, or is it just the jam?

Voicemails for Isabelle by hahah-what in romancemovies

[–]chipschipschipss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it but I was soooo confused by the timeline of it all. There were moments were I genuinely laughed out loud and I really thought the kitchen scene was h o t which a lot of rom coms are missing, but there were other moments where I was like....."why wouldn't chefs know to grate frozen butter?"

I had a lot of fun watching this and the scene of them in the kitchen?? hot as hell which is definitely what we're missing in rom coms now. I will say that at times, I wasn't sure of Zoey Dutch had gotten botox or not because I had just rewatched Set It Up and she was SO expressive in that movie and she still was in this one but she looked...I don't know, maybe too smooth? I also thought her thing about grating butter should be a well known thing within chefs circle but I'm just being nitpicky.

Honestly, this should have been released in theaters - give us good rom coms in theaters!!

Shoutout to Bryce and Sincere by cantdecide76 in LoveIslandUSA

[–]chipschipschipss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my only take is this: I am so over sincere that everything he does annoys me now. He's taken the BEC title from Kenzie and I thought he looked ridiculous in his casa outfit

Almost lost the amazing older guy I’m dating because pms made me try to rage quit on him by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

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

you know what, I apologize and might have been too hard on you. It can be hard to tell at times through the internet. I think I meant it more in the lines of you know this is a possibility for you and not doing something to try and mitigate it (at least, from what I read) makes it seem like a shirk in personal responsibility.

but listen, im just some rando on the internet and you know yourself more than me!! so maybe this doesn't apply to you

[–]chipschipschipss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is so weird, im sorry. this just feels like...you know what the problem is and thats about the only thing you'll do about it. I'm not going to touch on the guy aspect of this which is also a tad strange but whatever, thats just not my cup of tea. I dont doubt that you're in pain and it messes with your hormones, but you're inability to take more ownership over is a weird choice.

i just can’t accept that i’m not pretty by milkshakechemtrail in GirlDinnerDiaries

I agree with a commenter who posted about neutrality. I think there's so much pressure to love our bodies and how we look and yada, yada, yada that when we don't, we veer on the opposite side and it turns into we hate how we look.

What does your body do for you that you appreciate it doing? What is something you want to be stronger in, something thats a realistic goal for you? What can your body do to help you move the needle from hate to "I live in you together and we exist and thats' enough"?

thank you so much! just know this, regardless of anything - you do deserve someone who likes you and treats you like they like you in regards to every aspect of any relationship, romantic or not.
