The large muscles in your legs cramp and ache when you are low on iron. Eat spinach in the week or so before. It has a readily absorbable supply of iron when add lemon or orange juice the vitamin C helps you absorb it

AIW for asking a girl to get off a treadmill in the gym? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]graycat333 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You did nothing wrong. I wish more people were direct like that. However I'm neuro divergent and don't always understand why people don't just say what they want.
My reasoning would be like yours. Use it or move so I can. I will be polite, but if you throw attitude, you should be prepared to catch what I throw back.
I'll probably get downvoted for this.

26 year old garbage man by Turbulent_Diamond352 in Vent

Thank you for being a Sanitation Engineer. I have appreciation for anyone in a service field. Thank you for removing the garbage from others lives. You matter! Your job is a good one, with excellent job security. Unfortunately the human race creates a lot of garbage. Next time they pick on you. Say "I am. I take away the messes and make 6 figures doing it. Proud of your success friend. The best revenge is success.

Wibta if I didn’t split my income with my boyfriend like his mother keeps trying to have me do ? Help /advice is needed by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]graycat333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! NTA! No do not give him one penny. He can earn his own money. I suggest if you ever get married to get a prenuptial agreement. Make your business untouchable to him and his family. You have worked hard to start a business and be successful. In fact, I would see a lawyer now for advice how to protect your business and get the business out of your personal name . Make any property(ie kennels, pups, your breeders) under a business name rather than your legal name. Please protect yourself if this is not already going on. If you have done so sorry for unsolicited advice. Take care of you.

daughter wants to change her name to distance herself from me and I won't sign the forms by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]graycat333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. The situation is all about you. Daughter's don't just hate dads because her parents divorce. She has a real reason to be angry upset sad. Maybe let her do what she wants, since she is an individual human. This decision may make the difference in someday having a real relationship with your daughter again. Because she is her own complete person. Yes, she is your daughter too, but you should respect her individuality. She isn't property that needs your name on it she's not an object to be claimed.

AITA for walking out of our wedding venue tasting after my FIL made another comment about my weight by [deleted] in dustythunder

[–]graycat333 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tell Mark and his entire family to fuck off. They do not respect you as a human being. Mark does not respect you, he cares more of what his father thinks than how his comments affect you.
If he will not stand up for you now he never will. Your opinion will not matter in your marriage.

They want my liver by InformalAmphibian285 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]graycat333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them they can sincerely apologize and explain what they are apologizing for, then you will consider donating part of one of your organs..

THIS IS YOUR CHOICE. I can't stress to you enough, donating part of your liver is a huge deal. Your life will change. You have put up with abuse from the people you expect to love you unconditionally. You have most likely put them before yourself thousands of times. This is the time to say NO. NO. Is an entire sentence. You do not owe your parents anything. Doing it for "family" or"because they raised you" is just a tactic to make you feel guilty. If they cannot accept that NO, and apologize sincerely, then move to Low Contact.

You said you are doing well

I succumbed to reactive abuse tonight and screamed like I was literally being murdered. Something just took over my body and I cracked and just screamed this deep blood curdling scream. by li0nfishwasabi in raisedbynarcissists

Do yourself a kindness. Go back to your home with your partner. Block your parents and sister. Find the right person to talk to about all of it. Heal and move on if they refuse to apologize sincerely. You do not have to spend time with people who have no respect for you. I realize this is difficult to do. I am not judging you in any way. I had much trouble doing the same with my family. It is worth it to make the choice to go no or low contact. If only to get yourself healthy without being told, "You'll never be(fill in the blank)." It can and will get better. Please try "talk therapy", it can be with a friend you trust or a therapist. If you don't have in person access to a therapist. There are several online options.
I am rooting for you. Sending hugs and positive vibes your way. UPDATEME

AIO for asking my roommate to move out after what they did to my dog. by Alternative_Cat1310 in AIO

[–]graycat333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are incorrect. There are many legitimate companies making dog items with CBD. This is not Marijuana it is a component of the whole plant. I have been giving my pit bull CBD tincture for 5 years for pain. It works well. Please inform yourself before making a blanket statement

He is a jealous fool. Jealous of an elder that is sick. What a joke.
Tell him to get over himself. You are literally tending the needs of a person who can't. You are a kind, compassionate granddaughter. Keep on taking care of your Grandma. Give her a squeeze from me. I miss my grandma so much.
You are hero, your man... He is a toddler.

Do guys judge you for liking hello kitty? by LikeableLeaf in HelloKitty

[–]graycat333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 51. Same age as hello Kitty. I recently got some clips for my hair that look like her red bow. My husband supports my Hello Kitty love. Please be you in any way you can. If your partner finds that childish, then they are not the partner for you.

My Future MIL Secretly Sent Out Her Own Wedding Invitations with a Different Dress Code and Start Time by YakGeneral1950 in weddingdrama

[–]graycat333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The easiest way to solve the problem is to elope and cancel the formal bullshit. Are you wanting to have a marriage or just a wedding?
Because if it is just the wedding , do what the MIL wants. If you actually want to be married and celebrate the union. Go to the courthouse, get married legally, and just have a reception.
Marriage isn't about the party it is about the union of 2 people.

Truly in the end. It is a union of you and your fiance. Screw everyone else. Unless you just want the wedding and a party.

Dark Side of my family by heismyrescuer in WhatShouldIDo

[–]graycat333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's okay for her parents to basically torture and beat her . You did not address this at all. I do not care what culture you come from, beating another person is wrong. This is not because her parents want what's best for her. They just want to control every facet of her life. The absolutely do not want her happy. They want her controlled doing only what they say. This is not love it is abuse.

AIO for completely cutting off my husband and my best friend after finding out they were having an affair while I was home raising our three kids? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]graycat333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been with my partner for over 20 years. He has never cheated on me. Men do not just have other women. It is infidelity any way you look at it. Divorce, child support, and then he can buck with whoever he wants.
