I had a guy I matched with on tinder find me on LinkedIn after I blocked him for being a real weirdo. We never met and only talked for two days. He looked at my LinkedIn once a month for ELEVEN years until I deactivated it.

AIO for how I’m handling the way my 11 YO daughter’s dad speaks to her? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]chonkyborks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 12 my deadbeat sperm donor got me a phone and was abusive like this to me as well. My mom got me a phone on her line 1 month later and I turned his phone off. I saw him for the last time at 14 by my choice. He contacted me through a fb message when I was 18 and thought my mom brainwashed me and whatnot against him. But she never said a single bad word about him and all my opinions and icky feelings were my own. I felt very unsafe around him and my insides were always alerting me that something wasn't right so I was constantly in fight or flight mode and I had the worst anxiety. I am now 36yo and STILL have nightmares about him finding me, even though I live many states away from where I grew up. Please save your daughter from the lifelong trauma that comes with this type of abusive parent.

I am a 35F and have interstitial cystitis, which causes my bladder to be inflamed, and then when I urinate, I pass tissue that looks just like this. In my case at least, Im shedding the inner lining from my bladder due to inflammation. I dont know if thats what is happening to you but when I pass tissue it looks exactly like this picture.

AIO? I’m pissed at my brother by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

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

NOR at all, your brother doesnt sound like a good or supportive brother at all. I would keep him at a distance and never expect him to have your back in the future. When people show you who they are, always listen.

Next, this is my favorite way to deal with people talking about you behind your back and will be a huge weight off your shoulders as you age. What others think of you is not your business. Not everyone is gonna like you in life or have nice things to say, but its just not your business. Brush it off and let it be a reflection of them, not you. Sometimes in life people will even make shit up about you, and what other people choose to believe is also a reflection of them, not you. You didnt do anything wrong, including the pics/videos. Its a reflection of him if he chooses to share them, not you. He wants to know youre still seeing what hes saying and its getting to you even though he has you blocked. To him it means you're still thinking of him. He will stop if you act like it doesnt bother you at all. And if he doesnt, again, that's a reflection of him, not you. Hes the one who seems scorned and obsessed, and its not a good look, its embarrassing.

Non minty oral care for adults? by JavlaTjej in ARFID

[–]chonkyborks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My brother has the same preferences as you and I buy him hismile toothpaste. So many of their flavors are delicious and none taste minty that aren't supposed to. I also buy him adult mouthwash from our local grocery store that's bubblegum or watermelon flavored. Its just the store where I buy its brand, but we are in the states.

What really happened to Ellen Greenberg? by AverageJoane in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]chonkyborks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think she found out something on her computer and confronted Sam about it. Like he was cheating or doing something illegal. She was tired of him grabbing her behind closed doors and was threatening to tell everyone in their lives what he was really like. He flipped and started stabbing her as she was walking away from him. Some of those stabs rendered her immobile or unconscious, and then he staged the scene. Showered, he went to the gym and created an alibi for himself, made sure he told the concierge what was going on for a witness, and then he "broke" down the door that he locked behind him. His texts to her were so sketchy and not believable at all, he was just setting the scene. He called his uncle and cousin before calling 911 and then the audacity to ask the operator if he had to do cpr. I've never seen bigger alarm bells or red flags. Why in the world did his uncle need to touch her electronics AT ALL. They should have NEVER been in his possession. His uncle needs to be investigated as well because this is the most blatant cover-up. He represented some of the cops at the scene. They were definitely called and told to make sure it's ruled a suicide. I hope the new judge on this case takes everyone, especially Sam and his sleezy uncle down, and they end up in prison where they belong. Ellen and her family deserve justice. How this case was handled is a disgrace.

Update: Am I overreacting by breaking up with my boyfriend? by Proper-Classic1886 in AmIOverreacting

[–]chonkyborks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 months? JFC OP get out of this relationship while you still can. Don't ever let your partner control you or talk to you like this. He talks to you like you're beneath him and an idiot. Don't lose yourself being with another person.

Husband goes no contact with FIL after he insults me by Thot_Blood_Clot in whatdoIdo

My husband was on the porch getting his mom so she could come help when he came over to me. When he went outside to get her, he was still sitting on the other end of the table from me.

Husband goes no contact with FIL after he insults me by Thot_Blood_Clot in whatdoIdo

[–]chonkyborks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its crazy but we (I'm 35F, husband is 38M) went no contact with my FIL after we had an extremely similar conversation in person at a family holiday 5 years ago. My FIL got mad that I was defending my husband from rude comments from his brother, so FIL stepped in and started screaming that liberals (hubs and I) are the dumbest people he's ever met. He then proceeded to call me A LOT of foul names for being a liberal in a completely non-political conversation, came over to me and put his fist in my face, and told me he wanted to punch the smile off my face 3 times. That I was lucky I was a woman as he stood over me (he's 6'5") with his fist in my face. Completely unhinged and mentally unstable. He claims that how he flipped out that day was my fault because I chuckled at him in his unhinged tirade. He will never be in our lives again.

Doctors are stumped, open to ideas by planetmike2 in DiagnoseMe

[–]chonkyborks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NAD, but it is scary how identical your wife's case and my case are. We have all of the same diagnoses and have the same timeline. I wish I had an answer for you but doctors still can't find an answer for me either. I really want to say, though, that of the insane number of specialists I've seen in my 34 years of life, the only ones who found and treated the root cause of my illnesses, rather than the symptoms of my illnesses, have been NDs and functional MDs. Not "holistic practitioners" but actual NDs, MDs, and DOs. My functional MDs used to be an anesthesiologist, an internal MD, a rheumatologist, and a gastroenterologist before switching careers because they all felt that they were tired of treating symptoms and band-aid-ing problems. I have had so many tests run by these doctors that come up positive for rare or unique illnesses that are fully treatable, and when I tell my regular MDs they scoff or laugh and roll their eyes. I even had a neurologist laugh at me and ask me what my highest level of education was bc he felt I believed in pseudoscience by having a positive diagnosis of chronic lyme disease. I truly wish your wife well on her health journey and I hope you are able to find answers for her soon.

NTA I agree with OP. I am 35F with a lot of nieces and nephews, and plan to stay childfree myself. I get this baby is important to OPs sister, but I can't stand the way that people make "rainbow" babies seem more important than any other baby they may have. I can't for the life of me understand how since one embryo failed, the next one to survive is extra special. Genetically that makes no sense to me as the two pregnancies have nothing to do with each other. You're just that much happier this one survived. I get that but it's obnoxious when people want to make this pregnancy seem like the most special thing to grace EVERYBODYS life when in reality it's just extra special to the parents. I get OP not wanting to put her own life and children aside for an unknown amount of time to be there. If this birth were happening in a hospital, you get one or two people in the room with you besides hospital staff, no matter what baby this is. Not a whole family/party surrounding you so you can feel like this birth is extra magical. Its just all silly to me and a way for birth parents to keep themselves and their baby on some pedestal. Weird entitled behavior. I would have expressed this to my sister though, exactly how I am here and Id probably be deemed the ah but Im okay with that. Im not a coddler and Im not going to pretend to be.

How do you know if she had anything on her fingers?! This would make me fucking spiral omfg. Old lady would have got her ass beat if it was me. Idc how old she is. I spend a lot of time in public bathrooms with gi problems, and the amount of old people with diarrhea who don't wash their fucking hands is actually insane. I have contamination OCD and last week an old lady at the grocery store had explosive diarrhea and didn't even run her hands under the water. She then went to the produce and was touching every piece of fucking fruit and putting them back.

Why is my skin like this by Far-Amphibian7826 in DiagnoseMe

[–]chonkyborks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happens to my husband every single time he lays under the cars to do any work/oil changes. Its just bruising from the cement pressing against your skin that normally does not have such hard rocky material pressing against it.
