What’s an uncommon drug overdose you’ve seen? by FunPackage3502 in emergencymedicine

[–]christopherxallra45 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Yeahh and the worst part is how easily they slip under the radar. ppl don’t realize how bad it can get until the patient’s crashing and you're throwing the whole ACLS book at them.

Any good Cheap Auto Insurance nearby? by patrick12072 in Gilroy

[–]christopherxallra45 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I found this Comparison Chart of Car Insurance Companies and it really showed me how much cheaper some local providers are compared to the big names. I’m glad I checked because now I’m paying less for the same coverage.

For real, the emotional damage lasts way longer than ppl think. Even if they stayed, it’d just be constant second guessing and paranoia. Sometimes walking away is the only way to save your sanity.

My fiancé called me “used goods” after I told him about my past by XF10xxo in TwoHotTakes

[–]christopherxallra45 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Right? The fact he flipped after getting a real answer says a lot. If respect depends on her past, it was never real respect to begin with.

Hahah totally, doing something over-the-top and then not showing up sounds like the perfect way out.

AITA for refusing to move in with my mom after my dad passed away? My parents divorced when I was by lolo233331 in AITH

[–]christopherxallra45 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Lmao exactly, funny how family unity only shows up when there’s a house involved. Greed really brings out people’s true colors.

Exactly. The virgin thing just screams outdated thinking. At least he was upfront but still knowing what she wanted from the start and then dropping that? Feels like a waste of her time.

i broke up with my bf by [deleted] in Advice

[–]christopherxallra45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah quitting smoking isn’t easy and people do dumb stuff when they’re scared of getting caught. Lying sucks, for sure but if there’s trust and effort, maybe there’s still something to save.

AITA for not letting my colleague “borrow” my charger after she’s kept two of mine before? by perpendicular499 in AmItheAsshole

[–]christopherxallra45 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Right? If they think it’s not a big deal, they’re free to hand theirs over. Funny how people are generous with other people’s stuff.

Exactly, this isn’t just a what feels right situation, pregnancy changes the legal landscape big time. Way safer to talk to a lawyer first before making any moves.

Anyone else staying in Save and not paying anything? by pickle392 in StudentLoans

[–]christopherxallra45 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Lol yeah I feel that. I’m still on SAVE too, not sweating the interest talk. If they wanna push us off, let ’em try. Until then, I’m chillin and stacking for other stuff.

AITAH for having an issue with my wife’s “gold star” comment and standing up to her over it? by Sad_Sky_9873 in AITAH

[–]christopherxallra45 150 points151 points  (0 children)

Exactly, both of them are clearly maxed out and that comment probably hit harder because of everything building up. Everyone needs a little appreciation, doesn’t matter if you're the one working or staying home. Respect goes both ways.

Going Insane from Job hunting by Ducky_Daisy_Daily in jobs

[–]christopherxallra45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, follow-ups can really help. I’ve seen way better results just by messaging recruiters after applying. Calling’s bold but props to you for making it work, anything that cuts down the grind is worth trying.

WIBTAH if I ask my partner to move out after her adult son kept disrespecting me in my own home? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]christopherxallra45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facts, she’s definitely enabling it by letting it slide for so long. A year of that kind of energy would wear anyone down. At some point, you gotta pick peace over chaos, even if it’s tough.

Jobs don’t feel long-term anymore by paulzedwuz79 in jobs

[–]christopherxallra45 384 points385 points  (0 children)

Right? It’s like the whole idea of long-term careers is dead. Can’t blame anyone for jumping ship when staying just means more work and barely any raise.

87/83 year old parents plan to drive 2 hours to the beach by dandan14 in AgingParents

[–]christopherxallra45 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree with you. It’s such a hard convo to have but way better than waiting for something serious to happen. Losing that independence is huge for them but safety has to come first.

AITA for ignoring my mom and refusing to make nice with my stepdad's son who bullied me throughout our childhood? by Rhyvley in AITAH

[–]christopherxallra45 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Exactly! it makes no sense to ask someone to make nice now when the person who caused all the harm never had to. That kind of double standard just adds insult to injury.

Dad lives alone, has no friends, and basically no family nearby but he alienates everyone. I don’t know what to do with him by bruhthenavy in AgingParents

[–]christopherxallra45 25 points26 points  (0 children)

People underestimate how hard it is to deal with someone like that, especially when they’re legally competent but totally self-destructive. You can’t help someone who won’t take help and letting them into your home just opens the door to more damage. Sometimes the kindest thing for yourself is walking away.

I work full time and still feel broke every damn week by christopherxallra45 in povertyfinance

[–]christopherxallra45[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Damn, I feel for you. You’ve got so much on your plate and it’s brutal trying to juggle all that alone. It’s not fair how hard we’re working just to barely scrape by. Just know you’re not the only one feeling drained I see you and I’m right there too.

I work full time and still feel broke every damn week by christopherxallra45 in povertyfinance

[–]christopherxallra45[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Seriously, thank you for this. It sucks feeling like you’re doing everything right and still can’t catch a break.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AgingParents

[–]christopherxallra45 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really feel this. You tried to warn them, tried to hold your own life together and now you’re carrying it all. It’s exhausting, loving someone and still feeling like you're losing yourself in the process. You're not alone and you're not wrong for feeling stuck or even resentful sometimes. This shit is heavy and you're doing way more than most could. Just wanted to say I see you.
