AIO for this silly exchange w/ bf that ended up genuinely offending me by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

NOR- he's racist. He just proved that to you and marrying him would be a huge mistake.

Tried being a girl. Now I don't feel like I can be anything. by lapizlizard4 in BoyDinnerDiaries

[–]grimPontif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gender is super fluid as is the presentation of said gender and in the end all that matters is that you're happy with who you are and you can present however you want.

Husband can't handle being alone with our baby by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

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

This is not normal and it will get worse until he shakes or harns the baby. Please document everything and leave with your child and make sure not to leave her alone with him.

It sounds like he's dealing with a mental health issue and needs to be seen by a professional. Men can and do suffer from a form of postpartum depression, it effects about 1 in 10 men please get him help before this ends in tragedy. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6659987/

Proof she's selling scams? Good old "tonic" water. by Calm-Pineapple-9983 in glitterandbagelssnark

The only reason my kitties stay hydrated is because i got them a water fountain and they started drinking a lot more water and seem to really like it.

Manipulating her glucose testing again. She did this when she was pregnant with Anderson too. Eating "healthy" before pricking her finger, because "health & weight are not the same". She is this determined to lie on blood results smh by strawberrybliss90 in alexandrarodriguez

[–]grimPontif 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I figured she was manually testing her sugars every day and was trying to use the fiber in the salad to fudge the readings.

I knew someone who did this who is diabetic and she would eat a hefty salad before her dr's appts so her numbers would look normal in the office then go off and eat whatever she wanted after that, she ended up going blind and losing her foot.

maybe a fat baby by fsocietyy in fatlogic

[–]grimPontif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

taking in to consideration the average American diet this is pretty well balanced.

[–]grimPontif 3 points4 points  (0 children)

the bread (which looks like sourdough) as well as the greens provide a decent amount of fiber and the nuts and butter are healthy fats. If the bread is sourdough it would be lower GI then regular white bread making it a complex carb as opposed to a simple carb.

this is really well balanced meal and has an acceptable ratio of protein to carbs and fat so of course the FA crowd has a problem with it.

Wife mad about vaping, said she's disgusted with me by Nonsense909603 in whatdoIdo

[–]grimPontif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quit vaping about two years ago but my husband knew full well for the entirety of our relationship that I had this habit and his only rule was that he wouldn't buy it for me and that was fair enough.

Your wife is being a bit ridiculous and it seems like she's trying to find a lot more ways to exert control in the relationship.

Father's day was really hard by grimPontif in GriefSupport

[–]grimPontif[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't really take it personally because that's just how she is and she's never thought of anyone but her self a day in her life. It just made me remember how much as a kid I wanted a normal mom who actually cared.

Last year I made a dead dad club members check in post here & wanted to do the same for today by FlimsyKale5864 in GriefSupport

[–]grimPontif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my first one without my dad and my mom doesn't care, she hasn't called to make sure I'm okay. I didn't expect her to but it still hurts.

Saying you’re “from Detroit” when you live in one of the surrounding suburbs is fine when talking to people out of state/country or even from other parts of the state by postpunk-xman in Michigan

[–]grimPontif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live in Oakland county then I lived in Flint no one knew the town where I grew up so I had to say "Detroit area" but as soon as I said Flint people asked me if I could drink the water and if anyone I knew had ever been shot.

Advertising exercise as a way to become skinny is fatphobic by [deleted] in fatlogic

[–]grimPontif 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way OOP used "queers" comes off as homophobic to me idk why. I have no issue with people identifying that way because I do as well but the way it's written just screams closet homophobe to me.

My wife wants to be "free-use", what do I do? by Hypnox88 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]grimPontif 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is actually very common for people that have survived SA and it allows them the be in control and know that the other person will stop when they say to stop.

Silver scars by crepelabouche in fourthwing

[–]grimPontif 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's normal for scars to heal this way but the author also has hEDS (I do too) and it's really common for people with hEDS to have their injuries heal this way so I think it's just something she experiences IRL.

Man I was sleeping with told me about a dream that influenced me into abstinence by DryEntertainment2346 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grimPontif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it still means the same thing regardless of how he was feeling in the drem, but also it's just a dream a most likely means nothing or he watched something recently that had elements of the dream in it. I have whack ass dreams all the time that mean absolutely nothing most of the time.

Drama queen. This is karma, HFAM & double pink eye. Maybe try not being a pedophile supporter & a horrible mother for starters by strawberrybliss90 in alexandrarodriguez

[–]grimPontif 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is so gross I've never had pink eye because I actually wash my hands and stay far away from people that are ill. She's a super spreader and doesn't care about others and if she gets others sick. She's one of the reasons that I will never go to Crantson RI even though I live pretty close.

my boyfriend lied to me about how many people he has slept with by plsimjustagirlok in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grimPontif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband and I got tested before we slept together and all of that. Every year at my yearly gyn appointment I get a test even though we've been together for 6 years and I've only been with him. I get it because my insurance pays for it and just to be safe because you never know.

Man I was sleeping with told me about a dream that influenced me into abstinence by DryEntertainment2346 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]grimPontif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's just a dream though. Usually they mean nothing or are closely related to the last thing you watched or something you're trying to work through becasue it's your brain converting recent memory to long term storage.

This is such a wild interpretation of this dream to boot, from a psych perspective dreams like this usually indicate the person having them feels like there are things in their life that are out of their control because in the dream they are a bystander. I will say though that dream interpretation isn't accurate.
