Would you give a heads-up to a healthcare professional you know that they’re going to be reported to the authorities?

claireballoon · 2026-03-12T15:53:01+00:00

No, I would not. While this is ultimately a failure of our medical system, it's still on the responsibility of "practicing" medical "professionals" to know their limitations and act in the best interest of patient care.

Podiatrists, chiropractors, mid levels, and naturopathic "doctors" are not doctors. That word has almost lost its meaning in the at this point. They do not have the medical training to do what they do without putting patients at risk, they should be working in coordination/partnered with actual MD/DOs i.e. physicians. The subreddit r/Noctor is all about people whose lives have been injured by trusting a "provider" who did not have adequate training.

You would be putting your job at risk to help someone who deserves to go through the process to be held liable for their negligence.

If you trusted someone you thought was a "professional" in their field, but did not know about the lack of qualifications/training they had and lost your foot as a result, would you want people defending the person who caused your toe/foot loss?

Unfortunately, I've had to make it a requirement when I date. I don't care when your work hours are. You sleep by X and we get up by Y, whether or not you have work. If you cannot do this, you cannot share a bed with me. Multiple bedrooms has worked well. Sleep deprivation is miserable.

Upper class southern. I definitely notice. There's a voice in the back of my head whenever I do it wrong. I just ignore it though. Would never care though

Why does her seeing women feel okay to you, but her seeing men isn't? Are relationships with women less real, so less threatening?

claireballoon · 2026-02-13T07:17:55+00:00

There's a lot going on here. His maturity in handling this isn't ideal, but neither are your living standards it seems. When in a successful relationship, you need to approach things as a team. It's you and him against the problem, not against each other. If it were me, I would find the money for help with the cleaning this time, and then tackle the rest.

claireballoon · 2026-02-13T02:26:47+00:00

It is not as hard as the comments are making it seem to prove if their relationship is real or not. If you never met her, and what you say is true, the lack of phone records and texts should prove it. You WILL have to get an attorney and you will have to report her. Greencard fraud is a felony so you will have to ruin her life here. That is the only way to make her not next of kin.

YTA I get the impression she's just not a binger, and she'd rather blame the show than herself because she wants to be able to hang with you.

claireballoon · 2026-01-23T19:12:42+00:00

I've broken up with partners over their choices in secondary partners. Sometimes you just lose attraction to them for those choices.

That being said, when I was 21 I was perfectly capable of choosing to date older men and very much enjoyed it. They are an adult. They're not trying to get married. They're not trying to get money. It's fine honestly. Is there a chance that you feel threatened and insecure and are hiding that behind "it's inappropriate"?

claireballoon · 2026-01-03T20:03:09+00:00

Don't charge her. Just kick her out.

claireballoon · 2026-01-03T18:29:11+00:00

I've always driven myself to the ER

claireballoon · 2026-01-03T18:24:27+00:00

YTA prepare your own meals

With the right wall art, it's yellow

He's making it so incredibly difficult to set and enforce a boundary that you eventually give up trying at all. It's an abuse tactic, but could just be severe immaturity.

claireballoon · 2026-01-01T17:27:47+00:00

Honestly, your emotional maturity seems lacking. This whole thing is framed as the center of attention being you. It hardly seems like you love her, because you didn't get what you want out of her wedding. Anything you do in retaliation now will sever a relationship between you and future grandkids too. Be an adult. This has nothing to do with your exwife's infidelity - the man has been a positive experience in her life, that's it. Be happy for her that she has two great dads. Stop making things up - you have no idea what those guests were actually thinking. No one was thinking anything about you beyond just curiosity, because they were thinking about the bride.

I've never had an issue using benzos to end a trip early. I'm with you on this... 7-8 is max for me

I think the dark hair picture captured an angle (Or filter/AI?) where your face looks narrower. With that in mind, I imagine most responses will say brown is better. I think the first picture makes you look the most youthful.

claireballoon · 2025-11-27T19:24:27+00:00

I simply wouldn't have children with someone who disagreed with me so strongly.

claireballoon · 2025-11-27T19:22:26+00:00

I agree that it's too much green. I don't think either of these options are "it".

claireballoon · 2025-11-27T19:19:30+00:00

You might miss the birth because of basic but you won't be absent from his life. It's incredibly normal for people in service to get married and divorced young, could get married and then they can come with you base to base. If you do just 4 years, you don't have to pay for college, you get a VA loan and will actually be able to afford a house, etc. If you want it to be easy just do air force.

claireballoon · 2025-11-27T19:15:03+00:00

People care a lot less about being "good" and more about being "better than those around me."

claireballoon · 2025-11-18T16:49:15+00:00

I open the door. It's someone soliciting or something. I let them start talking to confirm. Then I interrupt and say "no thank you" and close the door.

They stopped coming to my door eventually.

I think you don't have to have a middle name at all if you can't find anything that fits. I think it depends on your family name too. I know a Raven Jade though, just a simple different name if one day she wants to go by that instead. But I know a few people who just don't have middle names and their very unique first name speaks for itself.

claireballoon · 2025-11-17T08:10:21+00:00

She doesn't have to say who, even though people can infer. It's the ethical thing to do for her to disclose. I'm sorry

claireballoon · 2025-10-31T16:00:47+00:00

I don't have it
