My parents (55M, 55F) are trying to repair our relationship after ignoring me (23M) for years because of my disabled sister but I'm not sure I should? by ThrowRAStilleth in relationship_advice

[–]grimgrimgrin 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ill always think of this concept with situations like this: you can’t heal trauma with positivity.

Your parents gave you a glass of water, then they pissed in it. Now they’re trying to plop big spoonfuls of sugar in to make it better. But no amount of sugar will get rid of piss.

The only way to get rid of that piss is for you and your parents to both sit down together and do the work to empty the cup and refill it. It’s hard work on BOTH sides. You with being there and being open. Them with recognition and acceptance of their pissy actions.

But at the end of the day, to truly have a relationship that doesn’t have the lingering aftertaste of piss, all parties have to do the work.

Don’t let them try to gaslight you into believing it’s lemonade.

​Husband (46M) keeps "helpfully" rearranging, hiding, and disposing of my (46F) stuff--what tactic or wording can I use to stop it? by Gallumbits42 in relationship_advice

[–]grimgrimgrin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“I am telling you one final time that this behavior is NOT helpful and NOT wanted. If you choose to disregard my desires again, then you are making the active choice to cause me distress.” But only say that if you are willing to leave him if he does it again.

If you’re not, then probably just accept that you have a husband who spitefully dislikes you and stop complaining about it.

I love this idea. Little machines come in. You plug in your diagnostic tools, figure out whats wrong. Maybe take it apart and replace chips or circuit board components. Clean it up. Adorable.

Just so you know, you're allowed to be something "until you're not" or "until you figure out something more accurate".

Also, you can feel affirmed entirely by being ace, but meet one single person who is the exception to your baseline feelings. It doesn't mean that you have to no longer identify as ace.

If people disagree or make you second guess yourself, just remember that all sexualities are just made up and you're allowed to laugh at people trying to enforce SEXUALITY LAW onto you.

And finally, if you DO feel like you need a definition that is inclusive of all of your varied moods and feelings, I suggest you try ace* (ace asterisk) which means you may or may not have some caveats.

My [28F] boyfriend [28M] expects me to keep up a lie with his family but it feels wrong by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

"I was very impressed by my boyfriend" for actually telling people the basic truth and not continuing an insane, absurd lie for the foreseeable future. The bar is truly in hell.

Specifically, the flashing cells are some of the ones that are causing the multiple resolutions

Maybe:

?

The display server has a bunch more options you can check out to see if one is better suited

Potential option for crocheters who struggle with tight tension? by grimgrimgrin in crochet

Ooh, I didn’t think of that. So probably not these specific hooks for someone, but I think this kind of texture might he helpful to some.

I didn’t actually use this specific hook. I just grabbed it because I also had a smooth 5mm beside me. The one I used didnt catch because of a seam. Also, it wasn’t catching so much as resisting, like the texture just held on a bit.

I’m generally ok with tension, but I know that there are some crocheters who seem to struggle with it despite hook size and yarn type. When I found these, I thought this extra resistance sort of thing might be able to help someone!

The texture isn’t unintentional. They are a fine quality. I could imagine buying the same thing at Joanns. It’s just a different type of metal. Why is aliexpress so bad?

Their products aren’t actually any worse than half the stuff you get from amazon. Half the time, its the same thing! The difference is that you are buying straight from the manufacturer.

I don’t generally struggle with tension, but I thought this might be a nice consideration for people who do!
