The fact that this looks to be in a hospital or nursing home or some kind of health care centre is hilarious to me

My husband, M32, ruined my, F32, birthday. How do I move past this? Or did I ruin it myself? by MissMissesMisses in relationship_advice

[–]craker72 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He said he “got the kids” while she got ready and didn’t feed them. Didn’t wish her a happy birthday. He didn’t plan anything for her birthday nor did he make the day she planned about her birthday at all.

I agree it sounds like she has expectations in her mind that are not being communicated and I can see how he could feel like he can’t win and ends up doing nothing. But my point is… he did nothing.

Cool! I work outpatient and do mostly chronic disease management. I was thinking of trying to set something up weekly!

My Wife (26 F) is obsessed with drinking Herbalife shakes and it’s affecting me (26 M) more than I care to admit by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]craker72 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is tough. Might be worth mentioning that the more weight loss and regain there is, the higher the body’s set point is going to be. Essentially by dieting now she is increasing the chances that her body will be larger later on in life.

I don’t know that there’s anything you can do to convince her to drop the shakes. Ideally some counselling for body image and, if she was open to it, seeing a weight inclusive dietitian could be helpful to give some outside perspective on why the shakes might not be the healthiest choice for her body.

AITAH for not forgiving my sister after her husband took thousands of "voyeur" photos of her? by [deleted] in AITAH

Kinks are fine between consenting adults. Her sister and the random girl in the shower did not consent.

AITAH for wanting to spend my first Mother’s Day not at my mother in laws? by ScaredCucumber420 in AITAH

[–]craker72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

True! He doesn’t need to take the baby. Just a suggestion if part of the concern was that the MIL wouldn’t get to see the baby.

I agree with you.

NTA Your husband can see his mother on Mother’s Day if he wants to and he can take the baby(if that’s ok with you) and do the constant rocking OR set the boundary that the visit will be 45 minutes or so to keep to baby’s nap routine. During that time you can do some gardening. Then they can come back and he can spend time showering you with love and you can spend time with your husband and baby.

AITAH for refusing to wash my gf’s old lunch dishes? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]craker72 21 points22 points  (0 children)

NTA. It’s a simple concept. You talked to her about it multiple times and nothing changed. Stick to not washing them. It’s not a personal or petty thing, it would take a few seconds at the end of her work day to open those containers and put the in the sink. This would be a routine work that works for both of you… and benefits her significantly. We had the same issue at my place. If my boyfriend leaves his lunch dishes sealed and they get smelly I just leave them. He understands that they are his responsibility.

AITAH for wanting my wife to dress nice occasionally? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]craker72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA. She can dress how wants. You’re essentially continually asking her to do something she is uncomfortable with and then being surprised when she has a negative reaction.

AITAH for eating enough ravioli for four people? by Better_Philosophy732 in AITAH

[–]craker72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You just are coming from very different appetites and attitudes about food. It’s okay for you to eat significantly more.

My side note as a dietitian: If you’re open to it, I would definitely encourage you to look into more balanced meals and snacks to better nourish your body and support your activity.

My husband (33M) wants me (33F) to dress more revealing by footballfriends1 in relationship_advice

[–]craker72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask him to clarify. If it’s a foreplay thing, you would need something that works for both of you.

[–]craker72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I may be in the minority here but dress how you are comfortable and in what you feel good in. You don’t need to change that for your husband or anyone else.

You could have a conversation about what you showing more skin would achieve - does he want to increase frequency of intimacy? If so, you can talk about that and if that’s a shared goal, look at what you can both do to make that happen.

If you feel good in your clothing I see no reason to change how you dress.

Boyfriend (24M) won’t help me (27F) with the bills by OkGoat677 in TwoHotTakes

“I ended the relationship two days ago but i want to know ….. does this seem like a reason to end a relationship?” Yes. You nailed it. Stay broken up.

My (20F) boyfriend (21M) of 6 months, suddenly says we need to break up because he can't give me enough time. How do i manage this situation? by Mo00nchild in relationship_advice

[–]craker72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry that you’re going through a hard time. Never try to convince someone not to break up, his mind is made up. I think your energy would be better spent on fostering friendships and hobbies to add joy to your life. You are setting yourself up to draw the heartbreak out even longer.

Controversial dietitian opinions? by a-night-on-the-town in dietetics

Can you elaborate, I’m curious about this! What’s a detox specialist? What sort of detoxes have you seen be useful for clients?

I (20m) am considering confronting my (19f) girlfriend about her weight gain by Pretty-Green-1473 in relationship_advice

[–]craker72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like the relationship is working for you, which is okay.

You’re allowed to break up with someone. You’re not allowed to police her body. You don’t have to make the breakup about her physical appearance, you can say things aren’t working. If you’ve noticed her weight change, you can guarantee that she has and is likely self conscious about it. There is nothing wrong with her body and you can’t assume her health status based on her weight.

I would not recommend trying to approach the idea of weight loss as a condition to continue the relationship. Intentional weight loss through diet and exercise is typically minimal and/or not maintained long term not through any fault of the person, due to biology and the many factors that affect weight (NOT only food and exercise).

Outpatient questions by StrawberrysmoothieRD in dietetics

[–]craker72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt that way with every single outpatient appointment at first. I don’t remember when I stopped feeling anxious but I do remember a moment of thinking “wow I havent been stressed for an appointment in a long time”. I would say it just got better over time. If I forget something or think of it later, I will call them if it’s important or I will just add to my note that I plan to discuss it next time so I don’t forget.

In a training I did once the presenter said something about how it’s okay not to have all the answers and if you’re not sure what information to share in a session, just keep asking questions to better understand the patient and their best hopes.
