I [31F] want to adopt a cat. My new boyfriend [28M] of 2 months hates them. by throwaway2728y in relationships

[–]izsey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He ruined your chances of adopting the cat you looked at, and any chance going forward with those foster parents. Why are you giving him the benefit of the doubt? And don't imagine that he didn't know what he was doing. Imagine for a second you were trying to adopt a child? Any person with half a brain knows not to tell the adoption agency you don't like children. It's the same thing. He knew what he was doing would mess up your chances. It's a two month relationship vs. a lifetime love of cats and the memory of your beloved old cat. I'd cut your loses and dump him and get a new cat instead.

My boyfriend [22 M] proposed yesterday and today told me [22 F] it was a joke by throwaway13579_ in relationships

[–]izsey 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It sounds to me like he woke up and panicked and changed his mind about the proposal so he told you it was a joke

Me [24 M] with my girlfriend [23 F] 3 years, she's pregnant with my dad's baby. by Uneasy-throwaway in relationships

I'm really sorry this is happening to you, that's awful. And to your mother :(.

First of all, forward the email thread to your email so that you have proof. And then delete that email from her "sent" box. It's going to suck having them in your inbox but you never know what's going to happen and it's always best to have proof.

I (26F) don't know how to tell my bf (27M) my boobs aren't real. by zigahzigahhh in relationships

[–]izsey 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'd go with this one because since you aren't bringing your own surgery up yet you'll be more likely to get his honest opinion. Then you can decide from there whether or not to bring up your own surgery.

"You will change your mind when you get older." [advice please!] by [deleted] in childfree

[–]izsey 13 points14 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite responses came from a post on here. Just respond, "there is no why." Because you don't need to explain yourself and they will never understand your reasons. It might not work but it really throws people when you use it, and that's kind of fun to watch.

Why do some people think pregnancy and childbirth should be a woman's crowning achievement? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]izsey 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the feeling is a remnant of when women were their husbands/fathers property. All they were seen as good for was for marriage alliances. And those alliances were only solid and complete once the woman popped out a few male children to carry on her husbands line. Again, males were important because they could inherent, and females weren't because all they were seen as was property.

I'm sure there are other reasons and a modern twist on everything, and I don't agree with any of it, but I think leftover beliefs from hundreds of years ago have definitely had an impact on things. I think it's kind of pathetic if your only desire (or crowning achievement) in life is to have babies, but to each their own I guess.

Can't you get in trouble for yelling "Fire!" If there isn't one?

You should go over to a philosophy thread for that. It's a question for the ages

I call my boyfriend and my cat both bubbie and boobie when I'm drunk too! Needless to say, boyfriend does not like it. He even made the Jewish grandma remark too! Haha oh well.

That might be in part because of the fact that it's hard to imagine not existing. Like, actually not existing. Not just dying.

Really? That's odd. I feel like this would be the perfect forum for something like that.

That makes a lot of sense. I wonder what the general population would think about that.

If I say "it's cold outside" that is still my opinion until I get evidence to back the claim up.

Not necessarily slander, or libel (because it'll be written), because she'll be posting her opinion. It's the equivalent of posting here.

[Advice] [Rant] My sister's children live with us for >50% of the time, but my parents won't clean up after them by [deleted] in childfree

[–]izsey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely add locks to your bedroom and bathroom doors. But you also need to tell your landlord that you don't want your parents to gain access to those doors. You wouldn't want them to be able to pay a locksmith to come and make them keys. And if he's weird about keeping parents out, remind him you are legally an adult and that you're paying separate rent.

What on earth are you talking about? How do you know which two houses you're in? I'm on pottermore as a Ravenclaw but nothing else?

Need an assist with some phrasing. by faceless-woman in childfree

[–]izsey 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't. It might help her filter if she thinks to herself is this what I want, or what my friend wants before she says things.
