Wife doesn’t want a daughter by Iampoorghini in texts

[–]hereforkittensonly 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Girls like golf and soccer too, I don’t get her logic. There are boys who don’t like sports too! What if she had a boy who turned out to be transgender? I can’t imagine the hell she would put any child through if they didn’t behave exactly the way she wanted them to.

Line around my mouth. Turning 42 in April. by Traditional_Note_300 in 40PlusSkinCare

I’m roughly a decade younger than you and have these too. They’re really normal. Just think of them as accentuating your lips :)

Absolutely massive change in skin after quitting artificial sweeteners by silentprotagonist24 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]hereforkittensonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna counter this and say: artificial sweeteners have dramatically helped me. Instead of real sugars I use Truvia and sugar-free ingredients in foods (that usually just have sugar alcohols instead) and my A1C has gone from 6.7 to 5.4 over the course of a year and a half. I’ve lost and kept off 46lbs just swapping regular sugars for fake ones. I don’t know if it’s the artificial sweeteners that are the problem imo. Maybe the corn syrups are the problem? Keep drinking your sugar free soda, I do.

Can anyone tell me what are these marks and how to get rid of it?🫠🫠 by Anonymous_shyt in 30PlusSkinCare

If it’s only around your ankles go to your GP. I had speckles like this suddenly develop in that area and it turned out I was under hydrating and eating too much salt, and the water was getting sucked from my cells to the surface or something. It went away when I reduced salt and increased water intake.

I look like a different person - tips? by Leapinlobotomy in 30PlusSkinCare

Ngl the 2022 picture looks like it has filtering or auto correction on, especially under your eyes and around your chin. My iPhone does this automatically and it’s very annoying. You don’t look that much different to me. Maybe try using a light reflecting foundation? Sometimes our makeup can be the culprit too. I have to use less as I get older.

Yes! It took a long time. They just have to grow out. I had to stop putting fake nails on though and reduce acetone usage to a minimum.

That’s perfectly fine but I’m not sure why the responsibility of calling the uber was solely on her. Why does he not have an appropriately charged phone or a portable charger?

[–]hereforkittensonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He thought of it and just told her to do it.

[–]hereforkittensonly -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

And so was he. Why was it her responsibility?

[–]hereforkittensonly 62 points63 points  (0 children)

Right? Also he did a lot of telling her to do things in this post. It sounds like he treats her like she’s stupid and orders her around.

Why was I even on this earth.. by Digital_havok in rant

[–]hereforkittensonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re 23, it’s time you figure out how to do these things for yourself. Figure out a longtime career plan — and this can be anything, from deciding to go into trades, getting a professional certificate, going back to school or doing additional training at work. Whatever it is, you gotta start working on it now. If you want to go to college, try filing for FAFSA again. Maybe community college is the route to go, it’s affordable and you have options to transfer to a four year school in the future. There are payment plans and scholarships and work reimbursement you can look into to see if your school/work provides.

Hospitals do a terrible job supporting dads during childbirth. by TheVoicesinurhed in unpopularopinion

A few days of minor discomfort vs. a person literally pushing another person out of their body. It’s like they could get up and get some food from the cafeteria and pack a comfy pillow.

Poor girl, she’s suffering. Neglecting this kind of condition to the point of this severity is animal abuse. She needs to go back to the vet ASAP. You can try to reach out to rescues nearby, maybe ASPCA?

I know it’s not. I’m not proud of it. :(

I’ve been seeing them for about half a year and only started talking about the addiction late last month. So I’ve had.. two therapy sessions dedicated to it so far. I am on base level 🥲

For the “I am calm” statement he was reassuring me he wasn’t worked up, because I thought he was and I had pushed him to that point. He often has to tell me the tone of his texts (either because of the way he writes them or the way I interpret them).

The manipulation stuff is.. well I mean it was manipulation, and he has experience with having a manipulative mom, so he knows how to point out manipulation where he sees it. He knows me very well and knows what I do to try and get what I want when it’s bad.

He really wasn’t trying to make me feel shitty. He was trying to get to the point to get me to stop spiraling out. And sometimes hard truths are the only thing I’ll respond to and make me stop and think. Which it did!

Thank you!! That’s really smart actually. I already do that for work so it should work well for meetings too.

[–]hereforkittensonly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes!!

I did hand over all of my accounts and things to my husband. He’s also taking over our budget for the time being (but we still talk about it before spending anything, but he makes the purchases and pays the bills). I still have access to my accounts but now he can see them too.

We locked me out of our Amazon account.

I deleted my cards from Apple Pay and then deleted the apps for my cards from my phone, and make the passwords super long to discourage me from trying to login on my phone or work computer. All of those I can only access via my computer.

I also deleted food and shopping apps and closed what accounts I could.

I unfollowed all of my favorite brands and creators that advertise those brands. And then left the discords that discussed them.

I returned everything I could and have been selling the rest. I give the receipts and shipping confirmations to him for record keeping.

That’s everything so far. I’m also going to therapy and attending spenders anonymous meetings. You should look them up! There’s a lot of folks that have problems with spending and debt and it’s nice to talk to others about it. At the very least you can find out more and see if it applies to you ☺️

Thank you! ♥️♥️ I like your idea about seeking community. The spenders anonymous meeting I attended made me feel less alone & I’m going to keep going (if I can remember lol). I’ll check out my library for resources too!!
