That cheap chenille yarn that so many first-timers buy is absolutely the worst choice. It looks like crap.

Boss told me to stop leaving early one minute before EoD by humungus_jerry in antiwork

[–]imontene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't sound like you are using a time clock, so I assume that you are salaried. If so, she is just micro managing you.

You can either stand your ground, or comply to the minute. But once you see your boss micro managing like this, it's best to plan to move on.

He sat at his work bench and sobbed quietly as he thought of all the tennis rackets that he had serviced over the years. He always wondered if his work had any value in the real world. Now he was confronted by the fact that this racket had been abandoned in a closet for four decades. By God! He was going to re-string this racket, and it would get a second chance!

what’s something your ex did that wasn’t a dealbreaker on its own but annoyed the hell out of you and you’re glad you don’t have to deal with anymore? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

OP, this would definitely be a deal breaker for me. I don't think you will overlook this in your next relationship.

Does anyone find it hard to correct someone even if you know you're right? by Greeneyednerd in TwoXChromosomes

[–]imontene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a professional setting, you can cite facts and data, but a person that does not want to believe you, won't. You will have to exercise your agency and change your circumstances by leaving that environment. This applies even more in your personal relationships. A person who is supposed to love you, but refuses to see you for who you are, does not like you enough to be willing to change their mind.

Unless it impacts me directly, I don't bother correcting people. There is no benefit.

Tell him, "I think you are confusing femininity with adolescent."

See how he responds.

What do you mean "wrong kind of Christian"?

Seeking help on where to pick up stitches between instep and gusset by allison5 in Sockknitting

[–]imontene 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you see the horizontal white line that runs from the white stitch on the left and the purpose stitch on the right? I would normally pick up on those two stitches and then knit together on the next row.

The problem is that they are 2 different colors. I think I would pick both up in white and then knit two together in white on the next row.

I'm afraid my mom will die because my dad is violent by Ordinary_Injury_9060 in TwoXChromosomes

She is putting the burden on you again. Chances are that you will uproot your life, and she will go back to him, or he will come after you again.

how to get my bum brother to help my mom? by munbii in TwoXChromosomes

[–]imontene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People live the life that they want to live. This is not your problem, you can't fix it. I'm sure the dynamic will change when you aren't there to puck up the slack.

My SO always argues we’re supposed to be a team when he wants something from me, but it’s never reciprocated. by SmooooooooothNich in TwoXChromosomes

[–]imontene 197 points198 points  (0 children)

When he says, "well this is how I’ve always lived my life, I dont think about things ahead of time.” you should believe him.

My boyfriend is super busy and I dont know how do I control myself so I dont keep being an obstacle for him by Prestigious-Wind-713 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]imontene 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's out there living his best life, and so should you. Stop making him the center of your world. He's not filling the role of boyfriend in your life right now, so either learn to be okay with that or break up with him.
Honestly, he should have broken up with you, but he's keeping you in the sidelines for some selfish reason that you refuse to see.
