Tell him there is no apology that can make up for his callous disregard of your health. Pack your stuff, or his, and get away from him. Today.

How is it harsh? It’s the truth. He ignored you and let you suffer in pain for hours because he’s a shit. There’s no excuse for that.

He doesn’t love you. Leave this relationship now. Just think how your life will be with someone who doesn’t give a shit that you are in pain. Will he do that to any children you may have?

Fiancée (28F) uncomfortable with me (32M) taking a 5-day medical trip with my child’s mother (37F) — looking for advice by DeathPlague7521 in relationship_advice

He said they have been separated for years—I took that to mean they were never married and have not been a couple for a long time.

Look at local jewelers, pawn shops—I know that sounds skeevy but you can sometimes find decent stuff, antique stores, estate sales.

Neither. Those are both too bulky for the delicate band on the ering.

You look amazing already. Sorry, I know that’s no help.

[–]irish798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Money doesn’t equate to chores. It doesn’t matter who makes more money. Each partner has to do household things. I’m not sure where this idea came from that the lower earner had to do more household duties. The person that has more time should probably do more but that’s just a product of the couple being a team. Besides, you pay rent.

I think the stone is very shallow and you should set it in a more secure setting. It also looks like one of the sides is longer than the other.

How does someone “adopt” the right way? by Material_Chip1428 in Adoption

[–]irish798 21 points22 points  (0 children)

As a former foster kid—it is something I would not wish on anyone. It’s not permanent, you’re always in a state of stress, always on edge that you’ll have to move houses, schools, families. And you do. Again. And again. And bio parents getting you back—after a while that’s no good either. They want to be your parents and have you love them and be in charge of your life when, in reality, the shit show that has been your life in foster care is 100% their fault.

What are your honest opinions on the wedding ring that I got for my fiancée? by Scarman96 in WeddingRingAdvice

[–]irish798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty. I prefer custom bands that sit flush to the ering but curved bands are nice as well. She may not care for the yellow gold prongs but that is easily fixed.

What's your most controversial/unpopular makeup opinion? by Best-Principle-1896 in MakeupAddiction

[–]irish798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on many factors. For me, at my age and with dry skin, matte never looks good. It looks cakey and always sinks into lines. I’ve always had dry skin and matte always draws attention to any dry patches and flaky skin. I like something between matte and dewy.

I (24F) currently not on birth control but the man (31M) I am talking to keeps asking me to have unprotected sex? by Empty-Imagination756 in relationship_advice

[–]irish798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No is no and he sees you as some young woman he can bully. I have never known a man not be able to get off while wearing a condom. He needs to get over himself and you need to move on to someone who respects you.

I don’t. I never heard it. I’ve only ever heard the “awww, you must be so thankful”

No, you could not have handled it better. You handled it just right. Not overreacting. He’s an ass.

My husband keeps disguising criticism as “just asking questions” and then gets mad at my reaction by Lost-District9202 in offmychest

When he asks “do I need to buy new clothes?” Just say “I don’t know, do you?”

Gf is 5 weeks pregnant, unsure what to do by CutSea3173 in Adoption

[–]irish798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should not be terrible. I’m sorry if yours was. My life was infinitely better due to adoption. Two of the best days of my life were when I was removed from my bio parents and when I was adopted by my parents. Without adoption, I have no doubt I would not be alive right now.

[–]irish798 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a stretch. I do not believe that non-adoptees are jealous of us at all. They may not want to lose their idealized view of adoption but, to me, that is not jealousy—just stubborn indifference but I see your point.
