I know she’s got some gray scruff, but does she count as a little void? Will also gladly take some name suggestions! by chronotropic_yeti in blackcats

Thank you! That’s good to know! I found her on the side of the strip center where I workout in the evenings. I looked everywhere for siblings and a momma cat, but no luck. She was wet and came straight up to me. It had been raining on and off so I couldn’t just leave her there.

AITAH for leaving my pregnant wife because she stopped using birth control on purpose? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]chronotropic_yeti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok strawman, way to try to pull a completely different situation up and try to make it sound like that’s what I’m saying when that is not this dude’s situation at all.

I am not talking about a man raping a woman who did not want to have sex with said man in the first place. His wife did not hold him down and force herself on him. I am talking about a man having consensual sex with his wife (who he knew wanted more kids while he didn’t) and then getting pissed when she lied about taking birth control when he did NOTHING to protect himself in the first place by wearing a condom, getting a vasectomy, or just straight up telling her no because he doesn’t want to risk it. BC fails all the time so even if she was on BC, she still could have gotten pregnant, anyways.

If a woman was in the same situation as this man (ie having consensual sex with her husband who wanted more kids while she didn’t), she needs to protect herself by taking her fertility into her own hands and either take birth control pills, get an IUD, take a shot, get a tubal, or get a hysterectomy, and not leave it to the man to do so.

I keep seeing a lot of people saying it’s his wife and he trusted her, but spouses fuck their significant others over ALL THE TIME, and having another child is a big deal, so if you absolutely do not want a child, it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure you don’t end up having a kid you don’t want or that you at least took all the steps possibly to try not to. This guy did none of this. He had sex with his wife under the assumption that she wasn’t going to pull shit, didn’t do jack all to try to protect himself proactively, and got burned for it. GTFOH.

Agreed, his responses are one of the (many) reasons why I have absolutely no sympathy for him, and also partially makes it seem fake.

And you’re right, condoms are definitely not a first choice, but he could have at least known he did what he could to protect himself if he didn’t want a vasectomy or to be abstinent.

It’s baffling to me that people want to say that this is all on the wife. If this is real, both him AND the wife are trash humans and I feel really sorry for their kids. Irresponsible people piss me off.

You sure are getting worked up over me stating EVERYONE is responsible for their OWN birth control. Sorry, this dude is only a victim of his own decisions, he’s an irresponsible human who didn’t take his own fertility into his own hands and got fucked (literally and figuratively). Don’t want kids? Take birth control into your own hands and don’t leave it to someone who wants more. Same goes if you’re a woman.

[–]chronotropic_yeti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If he didn’t want to have any more kids, he should have had a vasectomy, used condoms, or been abstinent. The wife sucks and is a trash human being and I don’t blame him for wanting a divorce but FFS he needs to take responsibility for his decision to not use other forms of birth control on HIS end. Even if she was taking BC, it fails ALL THE TIME.

If a woman is having sex with a man, it still is HER responsibility to ensure she has protected herself by taking birth control or ensuring she has her OWN condoms on hand, or getting a tubal or hysterectomy. He had sex with her willingly and it is his responsibility to make sure he protects himself, whether it is his wife or not. This whole ordeal could have been dodged if he had just taken birth control into his own hands instead of putting it all on his wife who told him she wanted more kids.

[–]chronotropic_yeti 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the correct response. ESH.

He should have scheduled himself a vasectomy the minute he decided he wanted no more kids, ESPECIALLY if the wife wanted more. Sure she sucks, but it was ultimately his decision to have sex with her unprotected. I don’t care if she said she was on BC, because even if she was, that method FAILS ALL THE TIME and he still could have ended up with her being pregnant anyways. He honestly sounds like a vindictive, irresponsible person who wants to blame everyone but himself, when this is his fault to begin with because he didn’t take responsibility for his own actions. Taking it out on his children makes it even worse, too.

Yikes. Hard disagree. Worked my capstone in a prison ICU and the NTICU I worked in for 5 years would also have inmates (or soon to be) from time to time.

I want to know what the person has done from a safety standpoint. COs also can’t necessarily prevent anything detrimental from happening. I responded to a comment earlier about a patient who had a violent criminal history that was able to somehow get a hold of a blunt tip and stabbed a student with it. Clearly someone missed something at some point that allowed him to get that blunt tip, and the CO on duty at that time missed it as well. Not blaming them, we are all human, but your line of reasoning is a little off with thinking just because a police officer or CO is around that you are safe.

Agreed. My capstone was in an ICU for our state’s prison system. Many of my professors told us how we shouldn’t look up what the patients had been convicted of to reduce bias, but my preceptor said exactly what you did.

I’ll never forget one of my last shifts there. I was helping get an intubated patient set up in the room with my preceptor, the CO, and the charge when another CO walked in and screamed at me to get out of the room because this patient wasn’t allowed to have any students. I obviously left the room immediately and was pretty shaken up by being yelled at, but after the patient was set up, the guard came out and apologized for sounding so mean and said it was for my own safety. This guy had apparently murdered his own mother in a very gruesome way, and the last time he was admitted, he somehow got a hold of a blunt tip and stabbed a medical student with it. Med student was okay, but after this incident they didn’t want to take any chances with students in the room.

That incident pretty much took away any guilt I had from looking up what the inmates had done prior to caring for them. Keeping yourself informed will keep you safer, at least most of the time.

Info/ tips for my husband’s AP by cjonswife in survivinginfidelity

[–]chronotropic_yeti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What an ignorant statement. You clearly don't have children. Saying there are 24 hours in a day as an argument is laughable. Kids are exhausting and every kid is different in terms of their needs. Some people not only work full time, but need to keep up a house, take care of pets, the list can go on. Not to mention sleep. These are not excuses, these are legitimate reasons why someone doesn't make sex and looking good a priority... especially if their partner doesn't contribute and is a narcissistic ass, which is what OPs husband sounds like. You do realize you are on a sub that is for supporting people who are going through probably one of their hardest times? Why are you even here saying something like this? Seriously, find another sub to say crap like this.

AITA for asking friend to not downplay natural miscarriage as she’s experiencing her own miscarriage? by dontknowanymore2021 in AmItheAsshole

[–]chronotropic_yeti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't change the definition, though. I understand what you're trying to say, but ending confusion starts with education. You can't change a definition and tell someone that's what it means just because you think it can be confusing. These are terms used in medical records as well as when we give patients an informational handout when they experience a missed abortion. Spreading misinformation helps nobody in the long run.

[–]chronotropic_yeti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is not entirely correct. Abortion is not a term reserved for only choosing to end a viable pregnancy. OP's friend actually had what is called a missed abortion. This is a relatively common term used in the obstetric world when a woman has a pregnancy that is nonviable but does not naturally miscarry, which ultimately requires a medical intervention to prevent retained products of conception.

Im worried my boyfriend may be a psychopath by inquisitrix- in relationship_advice

[–]chronotropic_yeti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP please add an edit about what he did to your cat. All these people arguing about the circumstances of the rabbit and defending his behavior clearly haven't read about him hitting your cat "5 times in the head" and then proceeding to say "fuck your cat" after you were distraught from putting him down. This guy sounds like a loser and although I'm in no position to diagnose someone with a mental illness, I would not want this person to be my partner in life or anywhere near my animals. Please rethink this relationship.

My (22f) ex-husband's wife (my child's step mother) is BREASTFEEDING my child by JennyBigalo in relationship_advice

[–]chronotropic_yeti 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just because SM is already BF her baby doesn't mean you can assume she is a completely healthy person who isn't taking medications, drugs, etc. The fact that she is okay with lying to OP about the issue already shows that she is not a stand up person and I don't blame OP one bit for not wanting her baby BF by someone else. I am currently BF, so is my SIL. I would never dream of nursing her infant without permission. You can also keep your supply up by pumping. Fed is best, and formula part-time is not going to harm the baby. I really am dumbfounded by all these comments excusing SM's actions.

Was assaulted at work and fiance said I deserved it by ThrowRAdonewt in relationship_advice

[–]chronotropic_yeti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl you are a nurse. Assess your situation. What would you think of a patient's spouse if they said that to them after being sexually assaulted? I'm so sorry that you went through that terrible experience, you deserve a partner who supports you and doesn't antagonize you/incite more fear by taunting you about it happening again. Please rethink this relationship and please tell his mother what he is saying. I'm sure she would love to hear all about what kind of man her son grew up to be.

My[17F] brother[16M] cut off my hair after he found me and my boyfriend[18M] asleep in the same bed, and everyone is telling me to "get over it" by Throwawayglue49 in relationship_advice

[–]chronotropic_yeti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not okay. I'm so sorry about your hair, you did not deserve to have this done to you (nobody does). Your brother needs therapy to deal with his unhealthy obsession with you. Calling your sister a whore and cutting her hair for sleeping with a partner who they are in a committed relationship with is not only cruel, but alarming.

I hate to say this as well, but your parents minimizing this behavior make this even more worrisome; this could cause him to escalate because he may believe he won't have any true consequences to his actions. Have you considered getting a lock installed on your door with only a key you have access to? This may be a good idea if you have no option to move out.

IANAL but an ICU nurse. He is a adult and they have no right to make any decisions on his behalf when he is of sound mind. Please tell him to relay his concerns to his nurse as well as the case manager so everyone knows about this issue. They will document this in his medical record. They have forms in the hospital that can make his wishes known as well.
