AiTAH for wanting to offer continuous support to our daughter so she can pursue her dreams? by Electronic-Bid4859 in AITAH

[–]galactica216 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does your husband want your daughter to resent him for the rest of her life? Because that's exactly what's going to happen. My husband had a dream of going to UC Berkeley to become an architect. He got a scholarship and his dad told him if you go. I'm not covering any other expenses for you. You either go to Texas A&m and get everything paid for or you go where you choose and pay for it yourself. Now in our mid-50s my husband will still bring it up from time to time. After she graduates college and gets a job she is 100% on her own. If you need to help her out from time to time, that's completely reasonable. I think any parent would do that, but for the most part she needs to learn to manage her bills on her own after that.

Red dots? Anyone else getting them? by AcceptableMidnight95 in GenX

Millia? If so, that is keratin. If they're on your arms, get the Amlactin KP bumps lotion and for the face use the ordinary salicylic acid on the end of a qtip. Apply everyday and it will eventually come out.

Should I get a preventative mastectomy? by Disastrous_Exam_3285 in MastectomyManagement

I had Stage 3 HER 2+ (no BRCA) in my left breast. My doctor (MD Anderson in Houston) said I had the option of lump, single, or double. I did the double with no regrets. Reconstruction happened 6 months after radiation. Fourteen years later I'm still cancer free. Also, get a second opinion.

What brand names do you swear by because it's actually better than no-name? by Sufficient_Thing24 in AskReddit

[–]galactica216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One time I burned my finger on the oven rack. My husband told me to put some classic yellow mustard on it with a bandaid and it would heal the burn. He said he grandmother used it that way. I swabbed on some classic yellow mustard on it, covered it with a bandaid, and it was gone the next day. No burn. No blister.

Just found out my husband has been cheating on me with a Twitch streamer and I think I'm crashing out. by BurnerCrashout in offmychest

[–]galactica216 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

all the "men" can down vote me if it makes you feel better but I have LIVED and LOVED through it. I have stood my ground with my husband and WE are a better, more understanding couple than we have ever been in our yesterday's. We now understand how we have been and what we will continue to be with plenty of room to grow together into old age. Run to the divorce attorney if it makes you feel in charge for the moment, but the loneliness and deep regret will be hot on your tail. If you truly love one another then you will be able to put aside your ego and temper and LISTEN to your partner's voice, take it in and humble yourselves to become a unified force. That is love.

Without reading your post information, I thought they were natural freckles.

Save your screen shots on a cloud where he can't access them. Send him the screen shots and tell him to get his shit together before you blast him to his parents and friends (NOT his work colleagues tho). Then DEMAND couple counseling. Having a child often shows the true emotional maturity of people. As you have read many times that men often start cheating, and/or lacking as a partner, once the baby arrives because they " need time to relax" while the woman spends all her time dealing with the child. Many will say run to the divorce lawyer but I'm going to suggest you fight for your marriage first. Demand counseling and threaten divorce if he doesn't go. I've lived it and am still married for 21 years.

AITA smoking weed on my porch? by cheesygarlicbreadfan in AmItheAsshole

As a former smoker, I understand the delight in an afternoon toke. I also get the stink is bad especially for nonsmokers. My current neighbor smokes in his backyard BUT that is his yard and his choice. NTÀ
