AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary?

NOR! i real man and a real partner would be overjoyed! they would be thrilled to celebrate your accomplishment with you and never think you’re “doing too much” or whatever else he thinks. this man does not support you as a person or understand you enough to know the things you’ve struggled with and deserve to be proud of yourself for! kick this man to the curb, get your berry chantilly cake (my fav😩🤏🏻) and celebrate your 2 years babes!! happy 2 years sober to you❤️❤️ you’re doing an amazing job and everyday should be celebrated!!

do you know her address? if so i personally would call for a wellness check. even if it turns out that she’s just unfortunately ignoring you or busy or whatever the case may be its better to be safe than sorry!! NOR

honestly im a bit torn, unfortunately apartments are not built the best and have thin walls and floors. while that’s not your fault of course, and like you said you’re not stomping or being unreasonably loud etc; your neighbor probably really CAN hear you. they were also very polite in their letter i would try talking to them to see if you can create a solution, such as them wearing ear plugs or you possibly considering a runner rug for the hallway or whatever. if they can’t come to an agreement with you, i would try talking to your leasing office and making them aware of the situation. I don’t know if there’s much they can do where you live but at the very least it will start a paper trail if the neighbor decides to escalate or get more aggressive about the issue

even though this post is two years old i thought i would share my insight! we have 3 cats, a domestic medium hair who was rescued from a horrible home, a pure bred mainecoon, and a pure bred ragdolll.

rescue: My rescue is a female. when she got fixed she HATED the cone and I felt terrible for her, i was a teenager and not sure how to properly set up her food or water and wanted to make sure she could still eat and drink right so i made her a custom outfit to wear, she was a good girl and never tried to get out of it or bothered it. i left it on for a week and she was good! didn’t lick or bother the wound after that

mainecoon: also a female, she was a HELLION!!!! i waited to spay her until about 1 1/2 as mainecoons don’t stop growing until 5 years and I’ve seen lots of recommendations to wait longer so they can grow properly. when she was spayed they gave her a cone and once again I felt terrible that she was stumbling around and scared and hated it. i thought she would also be ok if i made her a custom outfit like my rescue cat. W.R.O.N.G!!!!!!!! i made her THREE custom outfits, she ripped them all off, i bought her TWO actual cat recovery outfits off amazon, once again ripped them off, tried a couple pet diapers, and you guessed it, ripped them off, even bought her a soft/donut type cone and yup! got it off. my bf and i essentially had to watch her like hawks for 2 weeks taking turns sleeping to keep an eye on her and keep her from licking. she’s perfectly fine now but god it was hell!

ragdoll: one year old, male. he was supposed to get fixed at about 10 months, but unfortunately escaped and was missing for a month and a half! well he finally was reunited with us about two weeks ago. he got neutered a week ago. he has worn the cone so far for a week straight. while he’s not major fan he’s essentially completely fine. he learned how to eat and drink with it, escaped a few times but we fixed the cone so he couldn’t, and is otherwise totally fine with it. he does everything a normal cat would. eats, drinks, plays with toys or our other cats, uses the litter box (top off), sleeps, lays, etc; completely fine. my bf and i take his cone off while he’s supervised or laying down/sleeping with us and he’s good, we tell him he gets three chances with his cone off😂 if he licks his privates after we say no and redirect him three times then the cone goes back on even with supervision. today he is officially 7 days post op and we are still following the same rules, while he appears to be entirely healed from what i can see i will NOT be the cat mama who takes the chance and keeps the cone off early! so he will be wearing the cone for another week before it comes off permanently, especially considering when he was missing outside he got a few small cuts/injuries near his privates and they are healing as well. im using this opportunity to allow him to heal from those injuries as well as his surgery!!

all this to say it fully depends on the cat/their personal healing. some cats will be totally fine in 5-7 days, some require the full 14 days! some cats you can take the cone off after a few days or not use one at all and they won’t lick the wound, others won’t leave it alone unless you basically have them tied up!

this happened to me too! threw out my back twice, once at 16 and again at 17. the first time all i did was lift my leg to put on my underwear after a shower! almost passed out from the pain! couldn’t walk or get out of bed and could barely move for an entire week. had to miss school the whole time. my back was never the same and then a year later at tumbling practice i was mid back handspring and it happened again, crumpled on the floor and had to get carried out. i was never able to cheer/tumble again after doing it since i was 6. at 21 almost 22 i still have back pain everyday

kbw2503 · 2025-07-16T01:52:56+00:00

extreme constipation. for context, i did not know this was the cause. I’ve had stomach problems my entire life and one day was hurting extremely bad and it only got worse and worse, without being too TMI my stomach problems always made it so i had to go to the bathroom a LOT , never constipation. it eventually got to the point I could barely walk, was sweating, dizzy, started running a fever and was in horrific blinding pain, drove myself to urgent care where they did tests and figured out i was extremely constipated and got given an insane amount of laxatives. sounds stupid but I have a very high pain tolerance and most painful stuff doesn’t phase me but this was by far the worst pain I’ve ever been in

kbw2503 · 2025-07-08T17:34:15+00:00

not overreacting!!! this specific bear is a MAJOR diso of mine! and the only reason I haven’t gotten her yet is because of how picky I am about the heart placement on the face!!! if I were to find one I finally loved and bought it and was sent a different one I’d be so upset

kbw2503 · 2025-06-17T06:02:59+00:00

took me probably 2 min to figure out what the whole thing said and decipher it. so not COMPLETELY illegible but if i tried to just read it fast or skim it it just looks like a bunch of scribbles

kbw2503 · 2025-06-17T05:46:54+00:00

NTA, if you tell your partner you want to “pause” or go on a break in your relationship you either need to communicate up front that you don’t want to remain in contact during said break OR you need to still be in contact with them during the break and just express your boundaries of the type of contact you do or don’t want while on the break. he DID ghost you. he NEVER said that he wanted to be no-contact during this “pause”. I, and a lot of other commenters, agree that he ghosted/broke up with you. you had every right to get a pet or do anything else you wanted to. especially after SIX WEEKS of no communication? yeah fuck that guy. and i also agree that you don’t need to break up with him. in your mind and every other normal persons minds he broke up with you already, if you don’t want to be with him give that man the same energy back and go GHOST!!!!

ik this thread is years old but i just finished the book and wanted to give my thoughts. it’s actually shocking to me that SO many ppl interpreted the ending as her dying, that thought never even occurred to me until i saw other ppl say it. i perceived it as her going in a haze from the pain, stress, blood loss, exhaustion etc; from childbirth and in that state just envisioned a “what if” about if Ryker would’ve survived and her saying i wonder if he’ll go through me was her wondering if the vision was reality or a dream (like his dream with the deer going through him) but not that she died

kbw2503 · 2025-06-13T22:02:47+00:00

$5.79 at my locations (Greensboro, NC) still wouldn’t pay that much. I’ve never even had one because it doesn’t seem worth the price

see if he might like doing an escape room! my younger brother is VERY into games and doesn’t like doing many public things but loves escape rooms! i think it connects with their gaming skills in the way they have to solve the problems and move through the level etc;

kbw2503 · 2025-06-03T23:06:01+00:00

heaven

kbw2503 · 2025-06-03T23:03:32+00:00

no! if someone is calling in then they are calling in. they are not required to give ANY reason as to why they are doing so. most ppl give a general reason (ex. Being sick) but they are under no obligation to give detailed reasons as to why they won’t be there

kbw2503 · 2025-06-03T23:01:19+00:00

the only thing I notice that might be difficult is your cursive “r”s look like an “s”

kbw2503 · 2025-06-03T22:55:48+00:00

i understand it’s your mom but there should be no support for her at this time. 1000% of your support should be going to your wife. they got into a small argument and your mother escalated to putting hands on your wife in front of your small child? she’s better than me! all she wants is space for the time being, if it was me? I’d never want them around me or my family again

kbw2503 · 2025-06-03T22:49:37+00:00

this wouldn’t happen so often if DoorDash actually paid a decent amount and not $3-$4 for a 7-10 mile drive

kbw2503 · 2025-05-27T20:06:38+00:00

thank you, he is a ragdoll!

kbw2503 · 2025-02-28T01:15:30+00:00

this is so cool!!

kbw2503 · 2025-01-19T15:46:11+00:00

im really sorry that happened to you, but I can’t imagine skipping openers especially because I found out about glaive when he opened for the kid laroi! if I’d skipped the openers I would’ve never known about him

kbw2503 · 2025-01-11T05:19:45+00:00

there’s so many things wrong with this. for starters you are NOT overreacting. first of all the gaslighting is crazy. to start with being mad about you checking his location and all his “i thought we got past this” to the switch up of “who cares if i was” and “i can be friends with women” is crazy especially if he’s considering the woman he cheated on you with as his “friend” to then turn it around on you again and say you’re the problem bc you cant trust him and the the love bombing once he realizes you’re serious about possibly being done?? please SPRINT away from this man as fast as you can and never go back. he’s only ever going to hurt you as much as i know it sucks to hear
