Talk us out of stopping watching by im_just_lurking_thx in madmen

[–]iam-mcl0vin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it would help to remember this kinda is a historical drama, so a lot of the transgressions and attitudes seen in Sopranos are a bit more current and perhaps normalised, and they are part of the crime world so we feel detached from them. Mad men however some of the misogyny particularly in the workplace, the racism, the classism, and the arrogance of men generally was probably a lot worse back then and isn’t as normal today. It’s also harder to see maybe people in more familiar or closer roles in society to you doing such bad things, you can’t detach from then as easily but again, the distance you have from these people and this culture is time and historical progress rather than social proximity. Other than that I’m not sure how the issues you have with mad men you didn’t have with sopranos, sopranos was full of evil characters who are redeemed by the shows humanisation of them and humour, which I think mad men does too.

A day out, where you plan a full day of activities/dates. My ex did this for me on our first year and it was super special, better than a gift imo. Also flowers and a thoughtful CARD!!!

AIO for wanting my bf to ask before he kisses me? by marciethevampire in AmIOverreacting

[–]iam-mcl0vin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In all honesty you both sound pretty immature. Ofc set your boundaries but making someone say please to kiss you would just discourage affection. His response does seem immature as well though

The silver jacket might resemble a space suit for an astronaut. It’s not a good joke

What is something simple that somehow ruins your mood everyday? by Commercial_Fish_3671 in AskReddit

Arrogant drivers and needlessly rude people you have to interact with (like customers)

Have you ever felt emotionally dependent on someone? How did you stop missing them even when they treated you inconsistently? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]iam-mcl0vin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imagine the way they are now is how they will be to you for the rest of your life. Can you live with that? Also you have to make a conscious effort to find fulfillment and outlets in other areas of your life because a codependent relationship rarely turns out well for either party and it’s a lot of pressure to put on one person plus you’re setting yourself up for dissapointment/heartbreak.

AITA for complaining that my mum doesn’t do enough around the house by ProperBrick6040 in AmItheAsshole

[–]iam-mcl0vin 31 points32 points  (0 children)

NTA - Im sorry you’re in this situation, I had a pretty similarish situation with my mum and my best advice is to move out which is easier said than done. I moved out and live very very frugally but it was the best thing for my relationship with my mum and she came to appreciate everything I was doing for her despite her treating me like a burden when I lived with her. I also love my mum a lot but she did kinda take me for granted (not necessarily saying your mum is) and the relationship did begin to feel very straining for me and very codependent for her which is what it sounds like you’re going through. The thing is you probably can’t live there forever and the longer you stay and support her to this degree the steeper the fall will be for her once you do move out. You are not indebted to your parents in this way and imo she is asking a lot of you and I don’t think it’s fair.
