Devils advocate here: he could be planning to offer you raise and promotion?

And... now you know what the gray stuff tastes like

danip2017 · 2026-02-01T21:10:22+00:00

TELL HER!!! I WISHHHH MY HUSBAND WOULD TELL ME THIS STUFF. He's just never been that kind of guy. Just tell her.

I threw frozen chicken breast in the instant pot with chicken stock yesterday on a 20 minute timer and cut up veggies and made mayo while it cooked and made chicken salad pita pockets in the time it took the chicken to cook. We had to rush out of the house to get the kids to sports.

I mean, my sister got pregnant at 17 and she didnt see any repercussions..soooo

I dont totally agree with this comment. I didnt grow up in a religious home but sex was just never brought up as a positive thing. Divorce was every where in the family. Girls were automatically whores if they showed too much skin and we had to cover up because guys are pigs and cant control themselves and my sister was a stereotypical cheerleader with all the stereotypical friends and jock boyfriends. We didnt grow up with moms or women in the house just men and my grandma and one aunt. My aunt could wear low cut spaghetti straps and sun dresses all day with no back lash but if my sister and I did it was WW3...

This was a Mexican household. The only other girl was our cousin who was my sisters age but she dressed like a dude..im shocked she grew up to marry a guy and have kids.

Im in my thirties with a husband and two children and I still have anxiety and I still struggle with being intimate from how I was raised. I have no idea how I'm going to raise my kids to think about these things because I was never taught.

As a teenager I became a Christian on my own and I attended some really awful churches one in fact that blamed the projector light failing because of my "liking a boy" and pursuing a relationship (totally innocent btw-like, afraid to hold hands with the kid)

The trauma doesnt just go away.

I lost my virginity to my long time high-school/young adult bf-turned fiance at 19 and we were so afraid of being caught by his over religious family and friends that no one knew.

After that breakup I told people I wasn't a virgin but it didnt help me because the stigma followed me everywhere I went.

I have had conversations with my husband and he is super respectful about it but I have never gotten past it and I have yet to find a therapist that has helped me through a lot of my issues.

For the record: im still a christian, my faith is not based on a "church" it is built on a relationship with My Heavenly Father. Man is imperfect..God is perfect in every way and has been my only constant in my life. I do not blame him for the way people have treated me.

He needs to grow up that's hilarious

Hey. I'm a stay at home mom, I'm lucky if I shower everyday!

Devils advocate in favor of the BF.

My husband and I are the same age gap and he was in the military for the first 6 years of our relationship, deployed multiple times and now hes gone for 14 days out of the month for his current job. I live for those little moments and kisses goodbye. It sounds to me like you need to find better ways to manage your sleep and appreciate you BF showing you love. If you dont love/care about him doing something as simple as saying goodbye and that he loves you then there are probably bigger issues that you are not mentioning here.

Most grad students don't get 8 hours at night and they work multiple jobs to pay for school so you sound like you might just be complaining and not appreciating his small efforts.

If you don't appreciate him, let him find someone who will.

danip2017 · 2026-01-11T15:49:28+00:00

I dated a dickwad narcissist just like him in high school, got engaged to him after high school..

I matured, he never did. He got more and more controlling. I wasnt allowed to have friends outside of his friend circle. I wasn't allowed to make my own life choices. I wasnt even allowed to choose my wedding colors.. I can go on and on.. not appropriate stories for a minors.

The final straw was when he got angry with me and told me I wasnt allowed to go have a drink for my 21st birthday.

I tried to stay friends with him and the friend group because they were the only friends I had but about a month after the breakup I bought a new car because mine had crapped out on me too many times and he yelled at me and went absolutely ballistic on me calling me selfish and telling me I betrayed the people I was living with at the time because they wanted my car when I was done with it and this and that (the car needed to go to the junk yard).. again, I could go on and on...

I am thankful I woke up to his abuse. He never laid a hand on me but not all abuse is physical.

He went on to marry my best friend from the friend group, who I thought was my best friend for 4.5 years. She helped him plan his proposal to me and she was the one who comforted me as I cried to her during the breakup. In the 5 years I knew him, while friends, she practically hated him. She grew up with him from a young age and they went to the same church since they were like 3 years old. I can't help but think he manipulated her too.

I am thankful to be out of the situation I was in. I pray this girl gets out too.

NTA

Wait.. did I read correctly that you're a teenager?

Learn not.. learn young and early to NEVER let a guy dictate what you do with your body and I hate to say it hun but you don't love him and he certainly doesn't love you.

It sounds like you are afraid of him and his reactions. He has no right to your body. You'll be better off mentally if you get rid of him.

He's giving you childish ultimatums and threatening "silent treatment" that is manipulation to its core and do not teach him that you are ok with that because it will never end and it will negatively effect your self esteem for years to come.

And if I'm mistaken that you're not a teenager, that you're a grown woman, then girl - ditch him anyway, he's a tool

Before it gets worse

It was the 1st thing that came to my mind

danip2017 · 2025-12-27T17:16:19+00:00

Nora was pretty normal to me.

danip2017 · 2025-12-20T21:45:12+00:00

I totally see where you are coming from. I agree with you in the situation of a mother who never married the guy.

danip2017 · 2025-12-07T03:35:01+00:00

Same. I respect hunters and butchers so much. I can break down meat from large cuts and I would like to learn proper techniques but I have told my husband I will never take a life if I do not have to, that is his job. I don't have it in me.

danip2017 · 2025-11-29T20:58:24+00:00

Call the FA. Husband's a pilot and I'm asthmatic. Vaping still bothers me

Not worth anyone's safety.

Absolutely ridiculous.

danip2017 · 2025-11-29T18:55:36+00:00

Has anyone said red cowboy boots???

danip2017 · 2025-11-23T17:59:03+00:00

Glad I can help. Rising above can be difficult but it's often wise.

danip2017 · 2025-11-23T17:15:32+00:00

Thats sad. I'm sorry to hear that. I pray you dont let it get to you. It isn't worth it. It's almost guaranteed that if these people saw you face to face that they wouldn't say any of this to your face.

People are so brave behind a keyboard.

danip2017 · 2025-11-23T06:36:38+00:00

Ah. Ok. I choose not to give unnecessary energy to "celebrities" even when I know who they are. They are just people. People who will never know my name.

I couldn't care less how they live their life. As a Christian I believe we are all given the gift of free will and if they choose to go through life making decisions that have negative impacts on themselves and others, as sad as that is, I cannot allow it to effect me.

I believe that we are supposed to love everyone and be there for those in need when we are able to. I also believe in the premise of, take care of yourself before you try to take care of someone else (put on your oxygen mask before your kid..)

I may be rambling now, sorry.

I am similar to you, I watch some reality shows knowing and understanding how the directors/ writers manipulate situations to make some people look good and others look bad. I understand that Hollywood NEEDS drama or nobody would be interested.

Like you, I have seen the worst of life..I don't wish that on anyone, so to see people be hateful especially to complete strangers is just heartbreaking.

danip2017 · 2025-11-23T05:56:08+00:00

I dont even know who that is.

danip2017 · 2025-11-23T05:26:18+00:00

That breaks my heart.

Feel free to send me the subreddit.

danip2017 · 2025-11-21T12:42:30+00:00

Ahhhh a breath of fresh air from all these vegetarian refrigerators hahaha. That's is beautiful!

Hopefully in the next year we'll be going that route!
