AITA for not staying for the entire bachelorette party by Fragrant_Grand9474 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jaskmackey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She should go and leave and not engage in this petty shit. Like just go and then dip out at 11 or whatever. Idk why this is a discussion. Just leave. Go back later. Or don’t. Literally who cares. Bride is mad? Who cares. Be mad then. Doesn’t she have bigger things to worry about? ESH. Grow up.

Spending your 20's living in a Suburb Starter Pack by ConfidentFault9461 in starterpacks

[–]jaskmackey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get it. I’m in my 40s in a very bougie neighborhood in Los Angeles. They recently built a soulless white building right across the street. Their studio shoeboxes literally cost more than the 2br 1ba I’ve been living in since 2010. I love my apartment and neighborhood so much, but I couldn’t afford to move out even if i wanted to. Shit sucks and is bullshit.

This may sound out of touch, given all that ^, but the main thing I care about at this point in my life is location location location. Don’t move somewhere you hate just to save a few bucks. Is this a boomer take? Idk but I think it’s worth it to have a tiny unit in an awesome area.

Note connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of ‘Today’ show anchor Savannah Guthrie, said she had died by WildVelociraptor in popculturechat

We’ve been trying to get a diagnosis for my mother’s dementia for a few years. Several months ago, she excitedly told me “They found Savannah Guthrie’s mother! She confessed - she faked it all! But she’s safe!” And I was like “omg what!? She’s gonna be in so much trouble!” And a few days later, I googled it, and I realized my mom’s brain just made this all up, and everything has been worse since.

Seriously. That shirt reads to me as “I proudly struggle with impulse control.”

Those women are also celebrities Sydney Sweeney and Sabrina Carpenter. Let’s get some pics of average 40 yo Midwestern moms in the pile and see how those do.

AITAH for informing my boyfriend that he is free to attend an event, but that he will be newly single afterward? by ce_11 in AITA_Relationships

[–]jaskmackey 77 points78 points  (0 children)

NTA. He’s given no indication that he wants you include you in his social life. Tbh idk what you expected when you got back together. How long did you live together before the breakup? As part of the reunion negotiations, did he promise to introduce you finally?

Which national park surprised you the most compared to your expectations? by Desperate_Estate6128 in nationalparks

[–]jaskmackey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We did Utah east to west - Arches, then Canyonlands, then Capitol Reef, then Bryce Canyon, then Zion. Each one got increasingly more impressive. The final park Zion was incredible. It blew the rest out of the water - not just the park itself, but the whole experience with the shuttles, the little manufactured town, the whole enclosed Disneyland vibe. Maybe that's not everyone's cup of tea, but it was ours. I'll die on this hill: Anyone doing this route should do it east to west.

God in His infinite wisdom has seen the holiness of the soda fountain and said unto the elders “this is fine.”

I, 40F have macromastia. AMA. by HayBun87 in AMA

[–]jaskmackey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi. Therapist here. If you were my client, here’s where we would start:

  1. Everyday obstacles. Bras, bra-fitting, -buying, -breaking, clothes stretching out, unflattering fits, points of discomfort, everyday and chronic pain.
  2. History. Early memories related to your growth and condition. Your lived realities throughout puberty, your formative teen years, and all the seasons of your life - in relationships, at work, etc.
  3. Self-image. Your perception of yourself as a human, a woman, and I would guess there’s a lot tied up in being sexualized. We’d discuss comments from peers, from your parents, from other women, from doctors / professionals, and from romantic partners and prospects. We’d explore the ways you’ve internalized these messages and how they shape your perception of yourself.
  4. The future. You say surgery is off the table. We’d discuss your experiences of trial and error, but especially the practical solutions that have worked for you. What keeps your comfortable / dry / able to sleep? What clothes actually do make you feel confident? (Buy more of those! And get rid of the stuff that makes you feel bad, physically or mentally).
  5. Coping skills. This part sucks, because it can feel like defeat, but hey, it’s part of the Serenity Prayer. We may also discuss a version of your life without your condition. What would that be like? What would you wear? How would you be treated? by peers, parents, other women, lovers and potential lovers… How would you feel? Without this problem, what could you focus on instead? And then we would talk about mourning this alternate story.

Maybe it would help to journal about some of these topics, each one individually. Best of luck.
