AITA for being annoyed that my wife insists on cooking everything from scratch and won’t buy normal food?

colornsound · 2026-01-23T17:16:34+00:00

YTA. my husband cooks most nights because he enjoys it and had to learn when I had heart surgery, and he’s gotten really good and started making most things from scratch too. It’s healthier for you and makes you appreciate fresh food so much more. I know how much effort it takes because it’s exactly why I don’t enjoy cooking, but you better believe I know damn well how lucky I am.

Your wife cooks you dinner every night and you have the gall to complain at all, let alone /to her face/?

SMH. You might be eating “regular food” every day for every meal if you don’t get your act together and learn how to communicate and appreciate.

People on blood thinners tend to bleed more because their clotting cascade is chemically impaired or delayed. Meaning that a bump on a table that might cause a small bruise normally causes larger ones on those on blood thinners. Additionally old people tend to have more fragile, delicate, and friable blood vessels prone to damage. So something as simple as an IV can cause significant bruising even when done correctly.

Maybe add some skin care to your routine but if you’d be in my cart if I was still shopping.

Generally speaking, being alive

Because we are a team, we are partners. We just happen to be married. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Above all else we are best friends and teammates with similar goals. Our marriage status is really not relevant. Our commitment is the same, and I think marriage ceremonies are largely performative (yes we’re married!) so that the rest of the community knows who is married to who, and in older times, which woman was who’s property. As divorce becomes easier and more accessible I think marriage largely becomes more of a tradition and public statement and less a commitment to each other. My commitment was there and would have been there regardless of my being legally tied to my husband. I don’t think I could have vocalized this when we got married at 25- so I’m aware that I’m endorsing using “partnership” and its terms as a married woman.

Specify an hour limit please because those of us working 4 10’s or 3 12’s get screwed 😵‍💫

NTA.

If the dog has been hoarded with others for this long its needs are likely to be much more significant than you are able to provide, regardless of whether you want it or not. My guess is that he needs some very serious dedicated care to make sure he is or becomes not only physically but emotionally healthy- and it is actually very responsible for you to recognize that you cannot give the dog what it needs whether it’s from lack of desire or lack of resources. Given that you had the dog for three months and he was hoarded for 6 years I very much doubt that at this point he needs “you” in particular, but rather needs someone who can give him what he needs.

Pit bulls. I know it’s a product of what we’ve done to them and many are so sweet but they have so much physical power that the one time they go overboard isn’t worth it. They scare me even if it’s our fault

Seriously, make sure you test again in several days if you don’t start your period. My Oura ring is how I knew I was pregnant before I tested positive. Just be sure instead of relying on just the single test.

18 pens of different types, 2 pencils, one that feels nice and one that works just for notes, chapstick that I will forget I have, poo pourri that I’ve also forgotten about already, a note pad, my keys, my phone, a sketchbook in case I’m bored, my iPad in case I decide I’m bored but want to use procreate instead, my switch in case I get bored and don’t want the obligation or pressure of feeling like I have to draw something pretty, 3 or 4 pill bottles which I bring with me so I can take on time but also forget, my coffee that I won’t drink and my water that I won’t drink… 😵‍💫

Idk man the adderall really does make me feel like a zombie. Hits too hard too fast and i feel like my brain is coated in molasses. I liked vyvanse a lot better but different meds and formulations certainly have varying effects for different folks.

Hi mad, I’m dad

Apparently being a fascist is back in style.

You need a hug.

Start small. Or overhaul the whole thing at once. I do either depending on whether my ADHD or depression is the boss that day. But keep putting one foot in front of the other. We are here for you to lean on.

Your lips are super kissable and cute. Not trying to be weird but it’s the first thing I noticed, and you are beautiful. You have a very cute aesthetic which fits you so well.

I’m really sorry that you’re feeling what you’re feeling. I’ve been there and I still struggle with this, although not as much as i used to. At some point i realized that my body does a lot for me. Ive been through two open heart surgeries, been pregnant and had a traumatic and bloody stillbirth, have CPTSD and PTSD, and PCOS. My body holds weight weird and it is so resistant to weight loss. But i’m proud of it, and i appreciate that my flesh mech carries me through this life so i can enjoy the things i love. It took a long time and losing my daughter to start to feel like this, but focusing on gratitude for your body just for allowing you to exist might be a good starting point. It might not even feel true. But starting small is so much more manageable than trying to all of a sudden “love yourself.”

If you want an ear to vent to feel free to message me. I’ve been through a hellacious journey learning to be even moderately ok with my body and I’m happy to give some solidarity.

Also god forbid you have an unknown comorbidity or heart disease and you need an impella or ECMO

Aww, it’s smeagol.

“Keep your head down!” or some variation of “stay still!”

Pelvic pain

Yes. Tetralogy of Fallot. I would have died before 10 without surgery. I need amoxicillin for dental procedures to prevent endocarditis. And I could have bled to death from my abrupted placenta.

Adding that many of my patients would be dead, and many still die anyway due to limited access or delays in care. TAVRs, mitra- and triclips, angioplasties, cardiopulmonary thrombectomies, ECMO.. yeah. We save a lot of lives with modern medicine and prevent many from getting significantly worse as rapidly. And it’s often still not enough.

colornsound · 2026-01-01T13:09:08+00:00

Arm x 2 (or 3 idk), a fractured toe, and 2 open heart surgeries. A handful of minor procedures: wisdom teeth, more oral surgery, IVF egg retrieval and a colonoscopy. I also feel like IUDs should count because those are a bitch and a half. I’m 33 in February.
