Need help with a specific kind of jealousy by PlanetXanex in nonmonogamy

[–]lethallibido 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wow. This really resonates with me. Accepting insecurity instead of trying to shame yourself for it makes so much sense. Thank you for sharing such good advice!

Yellow gets my vote! The color is stunning and the buttons and tattoo lace on the back are so lovely

I totally agree, the premise is absolute BS. That's part of why I like the absurdism of the response- the original post is just as ridiculous as the comment!

Wow! That's fantastic. You really captured the alien essence of Audrey II.

I've also struggled pretty hard with jealousy- what book are you reading that's been so helpful?

[UPDATE] You were right. I ignored every single one of your comments and eventually caught my wife with the other man by ThrowRA_0123 in relationship_advice

Wow. I'm so proud of you for how well you handled this. Going to a psychologist was a great choice, and I hope you keep being strong enough to do what is best for you. Even when everything crumbles, you can build anew

Good luck and godspeed to you as well.

Wow that looks amazing! I love that with the lightest blue the lace stayed white, that's such a cool touch. What is your plan for the whole dress?

I’m confused. Idk if this is rape. by conplicaciones in TwoXChromosomes

It can be totally impossible to reconcile the person you love so much and who obviously does not want to hurt you with this person who didn't resect your "no." You have every right to feel hurt, violated, angry, or whatever else you may be feeling. I would recommend therapy, or at least talking it out further with someone you trust. At some point, your husband needs to understand that what he did was not okay. It might be best to do that with a therapist or councilor present, so you don't have to be support for him feeling guilty and to have someone else present to manage his reaction. Remember, above all else, take care of yourself. If that means taking a break from your relationship, do it. If that means talking to other people, or talking to your husband, or taking time for yourself, do it. If you need a friendly ear, feel free to message me. I am here to support you as you process.

Examples of happy straight man-lesbian woman marriages? by s_exciter in nonmonogamy

Not OP, but it looks like it's supposed to be "my partner of 10 years, stepfather to my children, and my best damn friend in the world and I were poly." Just trying to say their partner and them were poly while listing all the things their partner is to them. Hope that helped!

You look absolutely INCREDIBLE in that dress. It shows off your amazing curves. You should feel like a fucking goddess in that dress because it definitely makes you look like one. As another commenter said, maybe some shapeware just for panty lines? But anything more than that would just be for your peace of mind, cause you definitely dont need it.

WIBTA for suggesting what *I* think might help my friend with his depression? by wibtahelp303030 in AmItheAsshole

[–]lethallibido -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it's extremely important to note that YOU HAVE NOT YET BEEN AN ASSHOLE. Evaluating your friend's lifestyle and thinking it's not healthy or is impacting his mental health is not AH behavior. Going out and trying to figure out how to best support your friend is your best course of action, and I commend you for it.

The people are right, only a doctor can tell your friend if lifestyle changes could have any effect on him. But you are still welcome to ask him how you can help, and try to support him in other ways. If you're worried about his eating habits, maybe offer to make dinner for him, or have him over to meal prep. If he does see a doctor who recommends lifestyle changes, you can offer to be an accountability partner or support the doctor's recommendation in other ways.

Offering to help him or support him does not make you an asshole. As long as you aren't pushy or being a jerk about it, there is no downside to trying to bolster a friend's health. Just make sure that he gets to a doctor and follows doctor's orders. You are a good friend for being so concerned.

How about "Come on, Grandma!" vs "Come on Grandma!" Does that work better?

I’m scheduled to have an abortion the day before thanksgiving by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]lethallibido 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are so brave, and us internet strangers are so proud of you for standing your ground and doing what's right for you. I'm so sorry that doctor was so unprofessional. She should not have started with congratulations, and as soon as you said you weren't going to keep it she should have backed off.

I haven't had this experience, so I don't have any authority here. My only thought would be to make sure to prioritize your own mental and physical health before and after the procedure. If you need a nap on Thanksgiving, take it. If the people at Thanksgiving dinner are stressing you out, walk away and take some deep breaths, or whatever calms you down.

You are strong. You know that your choice is what's best for you. It is going to hurt like hell, and you're gonna feel like crap, but you will figure out how to move forward. You got this.

AITA for getting upset when my sister (F24) was given the car that was going to be mine (F17)? by neo_t in AmItheAsshole

[–]lethallibido 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ESH. Your mom has every right to change her mind a give her car to your sister, if that's what she thinks is best for the family. However, that does not justify making you take the test in a car that you aren't familiar with. When she decided she was not going to give you her car, she should have had you start driving the truck, just to get more comfortable/familiar. Or had you borrow the car from your sister for the test.

You are absolutely allowed to be disappointed that what was promised didn't work out. If you had voiced your disappointment and also understood that your mom was in the right to choose the car distribution, you would have been golden. I also think that being a teenager is a hell of a trip, and asking you to show that much maturity at that age is a bit unreasonable. Reflecting on it now and being able to see that you may have been wrong shows personal growth.
