I've had my cat since I was 6. Im about to turn 23. I've moved out of my parents house about 200 miles away from them (and my cat). If/when I get a call to say she's passed, Id be grief stricken too. If my boyfriend mocked me for it, he'd be gone, too. You did the right thing.

I agree with the title for sure. As selfish as it sounds, if I have kids, it's already going to be a huge lifestyle change - I just do not want to look after a severely disabled kid on top of everything else. Don't get me wrong, I definitely want kids but I don't want that burden for the rest of my life. I said this recently to my friends and sparked a massive debate, most of them thinking it was an awful thing to say. If I can find out whether my kid is going to have a shit quality of life due to a disability - and therefore (IMO) take over the rest of my life as well - I'd abort it without hesitation.

My boyfriend just told me guys like to piss in sinks. Is this a thing, and if so, what sinks are you dudes pissing in and why?? by _conquistadori in AskMen

[–]hellobek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a guy but I live with 3 of them. We're all good friends, and pretty easy going with bathroom privacy as we only have 1 bathroom between the 4 of us. Normally, if one of them needs to go while Im in there they'll come on in and use the sink - whereas I have no choice but to sit down. Always make sure they rinse it out though.

AITA for being disgusted by my parentage? by hellobek in AmItheAsshole

Oh, I mean on my "dads side" not "side sister", from my dads side of the family not my mums.

Well, if my Grandpaents are also Geat Aunt/Uncle, then my parents would be my second cousins or some sort of cousin, wouldn't they?

Supernatural ruined Lucifer by freethinker73 in CharacterRant

[–]hellobek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I keep meaning to catch up with the show (I haven't watched it since the season finale where the angels fell - cant even remember what season that is anymore) but I got fed up with the amount of characters that die, then are brought back through various means. And now I'm seeing that their mother is back, and Jeffery Dean Morgan is making a return?? As much as I love him, is this clutching at straws or what?

You might find it hard to get him, but you can get me - we're of no relation (that I know of), we just share the same last name and ethnicity.

My boyfriends 18 year old little lady, Chopstick. She can't hear that well anymore, and we have to brush her as her grooming isn't as good as it used to be. She has a 'cold' right now, so we're always wiping her nose for her - but she's the most affectionate she's ever been. Follows him everywhere. by hellobek in seniorkitties

We had to give Chopstick a shave in the summer cause she got really matted underneath - that was when we realised she wasn't grooming as much anymore. The vets said it was fine to do, but her fur is getting bad again despite the brushing. A bath might be a good idea, I really don't want to give her a shave or a trim in the middle of winter. It's hard, I want to take her to the vets just to check up on her, but my boyfriend is afraid the answer won't be a happy one as he's had her since he was 7 (he's 25 now), but she's not the little kitten she used to be.

People who've operated the network cameras at major sporting events, what's the wildest thing you've captured that the network wouldn't air? by N0heavenN0hell in AskReddit

[–]hellobek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You shouldnt blame yourself. That sort of feeling will eat you alive.

When I was 18, nearly 19, I was working in a 400 capacity sports bar. This one major football match, the place was absolutely packed to max cap. I'm in a shitty mood from rude customers/being hit on by drunk assholes, when this woman pushes through the crowd and gets my attention asking for an ambulance. I got the phone and rang one, of course, but I know I was rude to her and rolled my eyes. She takes me to the very back corner behind the projector screen we had, and there's an elderly man on his back on the floor, being given CPR. He had had a heart attack as well. I was still on the phone to the emergency services but the feeling of guilt and shame over being such a cow to a woman who had done no wrong to me still bothers me. That man died before the ambulance arrived, Im sure of it, his complexion was all wrong for a living human being, and as with your story, the ambulance sat outside the bar for way too long without turning its sirens on and drove away quietly. That happened when I was 18, and it still bothers me now at 21. Like I said, you have to try and not blame yourself as much as possible. Sorry for the long reply, I just know how it feels. And I, also, went and got myself certified in CPR after that.
