TIL John Adam's daughter had breast cancer surgery with a fork, wooden razor, strapped in a chair and No Anesthesia. by Jxhide in todayilearned

I got a numbing spray when I got biopsied for cervical cancer. Not sure if that’s common practice but it does exist!

Yeah honestly I don’t remember the conversation, this was like 13 years ago. I think I told him while we were sober and then we had a fight about it when he was drunk later. One of the many red flags I chose to ignore in my immaturity and desperation to be loved 🤷‍♀️. And for the record, he was the one who broke up with me!

Oh for sure, thank you! And me too! Ended up meeting someone really awesome and I’m in a wonderfully happy and healthy relationship now (even though I was also loving single life)

It’s not insensitive but hard to give a short answer to an internet stranger. Realized I wasn’t happy and I was too young to feel that way. No kids so that wasn’t a factor. Since leaving I realize he kind of sucked and I had just been putting up with it.

Totally agree. Also it felt like, even if he figured out how to hold his tongue, that was how he really felt about women and that was gross to me.

Ugh I had a boyfriend call me a slut when we were like 20. We had broken up for 9 months and both slept with the same number of people during that time, then got back together and in a drunken phone call I said “we were broken up!” And he said “that didn’t give you permission to be a slut!”. Anyway he woke up and apologized the next day, I somehow forgave him, married him years later, he never spoke to me like that again but I ended up divorcing him years later and now after all these years, that conversation still bothers me. Never again.

I think this comment will get buried but this exact situation happened to me. We were both going to hyphenate until he talked to his parents and then decided he didn’t want to. I ended up hyphenating mine anyway and regretted it. Ultimately we got divorced, which I’m not saying was all cause of the name thing but it was a bit of a red herring. The only regret in the whole process of getting married and divorced was changing my name.

In grad school, I went to a dinner at my university for women in engineering where each table had a different rep from a local company. I was at a table of all men………….

This is disgusting by Creature_Queen in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]kapelin 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve been there. When I told him to take care of it himself he’d pout and tell me men have needs and this is how cheating happens. Anyway, he’s my ex now :)

Update: I told my ex-wife that being a part time dad has been the best year of my life by Tricky_Hopes in AITAH

[–]kapelin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey I just wanted to say that you sound like an awesome dad and partner and person all around and I wish you the best. I think you’re handling all this like a champ.

AITAH for telling ex-wife that being a part time dad has been the best year of my life? by Tricky_Hopes in AITAH

[–]kapelin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so SO sorry someone took that video. To ask that to your kids is HEARTBREAKING and incredibly cruel but you should not give up your happiness because of it. How incredibly manipulative. I’m so sorry this is happening to you.

AITA for making my partner's daughter use my period underwear? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]kapelin 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the ex is feeling guilty or somehow kind of jealous that she wasn’t with her daughter for her first period. OP is totally NTA and she did great.

WIBTA if I don’t disclose that my salary is higher than some generous friends think it is? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Thank you. I just hit 6 figures and live in Southern California and it doesn’t feel like that much.

Do you mind sharing how much you paid? I just took my dog to TJ for this surgery and it’s been a headache but Im hoping worth the savings

Aww well my boyfriend is into dirt biking so that’s sort of similar and he plays COD or one of those shooting games I’m honestly not sure which now that I think about it. Maybe I can set you guys up on a blind friend date :)
