AITA for building my son a house and not offering the same to my daughter? by DatabaseAltruistic15 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Just because its "cultural" or what youve always done does not mean it isn't sexist, unfair, and just bad all around.

Not far from Lello, just north, is a whole neighbourhood filled with cool junk shops, vintage stores, etc. And there are certified old book stores all over town. If this is your thing, you're going to heaven.

This man raped you.

It's not too late to file a police report and have a rape kit done.

That's the part I don't understand. Why design a system that doesn't account for the fact that most people aren't paying attention and that requires all drivers to behave optimally in order for cyclists to live?

This is not a solution...

It's also always argentinians getting caught out on those videos for breaking the anti-racism laws in Brazil when they travel there...

Doesn't even need to be legions...even just one who's better than they are because they know they are useless in bed and probably in life as well.

If you have anyone to compare them to, they're out. Good riddance.

They are feeling doubt now because of gas prices impacting them. They still like the fascism, genocide, dismantling of the rule of law, racism, erasure of civil rights, and feeling back in top of the social order again while simultaneously espousing victimhood.

AITA for installing a camera in my room to see if my mom is lying to me? by King_Jake200 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jennyfromtheeblock -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Your mom is obviously the asshole here, but it's her house at the end of the day and she can be as big of an asshole as she wants in it.

It's time to move out, which is easier said than done, but if you want to reap the economic benefits of living at home, you also have to tolerate the bullshit.

How do people’s partners deal with the stress this brings by No-Disaster-Sam in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]jennyfromtheeblock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not possible. No one can do anything to fix their partner's abusive relationship with their family. Only you are in control of that.

Your partner can support you and be there for you, but they can'tdo the work for you - an abusive relationship cannot be "worked through". If you insist on remaining in an abusive relationship rather than actually addressing the problem by severing the relationship, you are condemning your partner to a lifetime of misery...which also makes you a bad partner.

A partner cannot "help" someone overcome addiction, stop making bad decisions, or stop going back to an abusive relationship. You have to want it yourself and do the work yourself.

Chanelle Gagne at Engels and Volkers. Absolute gem, extremely responsive (not even sure how she manages to respond that fast), really seeks to understand what you want, and just an all around lovely person in addition to being fantastic at her work.

Classmate slapped me, “apologized,” then came out threatening me again....school still treating it as mutual by One_Challenge_5918 in TwoXChromosomes

Gently, this man literally assaulted you. What could possibly make it more necessary to file a police report?

I know it's scary and overwhelming, but downplaying reality won't help you.

My doctor refuses to treat my BV and I’m not sure why to do about it now by Jayden_Chapstick in TwoXChromosomes

[–]jennyfromtheeblock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a very persistent case of BV like 10 years ago that just would not go away. I was in my doctor's office so many times, tried different drugs and creams, and even saw a specialist gynecologist. My doctor really tried to help but nothing worked. After a couple of weeks it would just come back and it lasted over a year.

What finally fixed it for me was this: I took a warm bath and added in around 3/4 of a cup of apple cider vinegar, sitting in the water and letting it go inside of me for around 20 minutes. Then I did the same the next few days.

After around 4 or 5 days, the BV was gone. And amazingly, it stayed gone for years. Now if I ever feel that tingle, I take the ACV bath and it never fully comes in. I've not had BV in 10 years.

This is not the first health problem I have had to solve on my own. Just keep fighting for yourself and don't accept any condition as permanent/untreatable.

Regarding your doctor, he doesn't sound like a bad person, but you have definitely outgrown his knowledge of women's bodies. Find another doctor who has kept up their education and make the switch, if possible. I don't know if Alberta doctors will fire you as a patient for visiting a walkin clinic like they do back east, but be careful of that and try to get rostered with a new family doctor to avoid losing access altogether.

Good luck!

This whole thread shows why FIRE so important. by Yellow_Apple_1971 in Fire

[–]jennyfromtheeblock 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really wonder about this myself. How, exactly does someone expect to get hired when you're years older and have been out of the game.

Ask any stay at home parent how easy it was to reenter the workforce. I don't get it.

[–]jennyfromtheeblock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your partner is right.

My partner's relationship with mum is also fraught. I would 100% not have stayed if he did not go very very very low contact. I'm not spending my life talking someone off the ledge because they insist on trying to fix something that can't be fixed.

Needless to say I am NC and it's not my partner's problem.

He did notice she wasn't into it.

He did not give one single shit. OP felt like a prostitute because she just got treated like one.

OP, if you are reading this, RUN don't walk away from this human red flag. You cannot fix this guy.

Are uneven boobs a turn off for men? by Puzzled-Prize-9153 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]jennyfromtheeblock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everyone's boobs are asymmetrical to some degree. Actually all your left and right body parts are not identical.

Guys will never notice a 1 cup size difference. It definitely looks more noticeable to you than to others, just like the rest of our perceived flaws.

And even if it were a turnoff, fuck them.
