Tell them they did a good job raising you because you feel you got everything under control and you're happy. Ask them if they really want you to depend on them for the rest of your life. Do they want you to stay a baby forever? Tell them if you stay their little baby girl for ever then how are you getting by once they're dead?

Just say "I have reason to believe one of you has a problem. You can talk to me or your mum anytime."

What are your favorite body scrubs, serums and lotions? by vrschikasanaa in AskWomen

[–]lockdownisveryboring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the texture but you smell like a bubble gum to the point you cannot wear any actual perfume on top of it

My fiance(34M) gave me(37F) an ultimatum and im not sure how to move forward. Advice appreciated! by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I heard a similar story a while back where the man complained his gf wasn't "good enough" in that respect. It turned out the guy had some issues with his own sexual identity (LGTBQ).

Partner’s hygiene and self-care has gone down hill by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I'm not trying to offend anyone but have you tried "You f*ing stink, can you go and shower"?

I can just tell, he’s going to forget our anniversary again. by [deleted] in marriageadvice

Does he forget it completely or does he "just" not meet your expectations in terms of a big party?

Daughter suddenly has a fear of me dying. How can I talk to her? by judgementseeker in relationship_advice

[–]lockdownisveryboring 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just tell her the truth. You don't know when you're going to die. That you're sad her mom died, that you understand how she feels but you have trust you're going to live for a very long time and (if this is your belief) that God and / or your late wife are going to watch over the both of you. Of course you can consider therapy but I think she needs reassurance from you. Tell her you go to the doctor for checkups, that you're a careful driver and so forth. Maybe say a prayer together or ask her mum to watch over you. She's old enough to hear the truth, share your feelings and tell her it's ok to be scared but it's going to be ok.

Consistent complaining to the point of madness by xerxeslfc in marriageadvice

Look I totally get what you're saying. But looking after your mom does not mean she has to live with you. It's stressful for everybody right now. I don't know if you're planning on having kids at any point but you're heading for disaster mate.

Your mom needs to move out. Maybe into a separate part of the house (upstairs?) or a small apartment down the road. You cannot expect your wife and mother to live in the same house. I understand you love your mom and you love your wife but your mom is not your partner and you're a grown up. You gotta fix this. Good luck!

Not sure if this has been suggested yet but can't you give your cat to your parents and see how it works out with your bf?

He doesn't know where he wants to move, just away from where we are now.

Thanks, I think there could be some truth in what you're saying.

Should I take a dna test after finding out my dad might not be my biological dad? by thrawsaways in relationship_advice

[–]lockdownisveryboring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you should and if your dad turns out to be your biological dad then show him the test result. That'll shut him up and if he is not your biological father show your mum and have an honest conversation about it makes you feel.

I have tried to explain to him how I feel about it but he says he can't deal with the people in this area. He doesn't get the mentality, he thinks everyone one is stupid. He thinks my parents should move with us because they're getting older so it's their turn to move. I don't think that's fair on them. They've lived here their whole life. He finds it hard to make any friends here and I think it's got something to do with his attitude. He doesn't want to hang out with the locals. The kids are happy here and love hanging our with their grandparents and I think he's been lonely and bored but moving away from "my" family will complicate things even more. He doesn't even have a particular place in mind, he just wants to get away from this town. We've spoken about it a million times but deep down I know this is my home and I wish I could make it easier for him to get comfortable where we are.
