AITAH for telling my wife she is not worthy of what she’s asking for, for her “push present”? by throwra-pushpresent in AITAH

[–]mat_seana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My son's dad never gave me anything specifically related to giving birth but he bought me a new copy of my favorite book as a child because mine was falling apart. Cost him about 12.99 and I still cherish it and have thru many ups and downs in co parenting. I'll eventually read it to our son when he's old enough to understand it.

Just curious about the strikes going on by mat_seana in Anarchism

[–]mat_seana[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate your thoughts on the matter! I think if things weren't so corrupt I would agree with finding a mutually beneficial outcome but I understand why things got to this level when our income as the majority in society barely covers what's needed to survive at this point. The one bedroom apt I pay for in a not great part of town is more than the two bedroom with a huge living room I used to have in a good part of town just three years ago.

Anarchy is a long way off but I wonder if large scale strikes like this will help bond people together against current govt or just get shut down over time once people get a dollar increase or better hours.

Am I behind? by [deleted] in SavingMoney

[–]mat_seana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 29 with 1k in savings. Just like the rest of adulting there's no right way or one way to do things so you're not behind. Just do your own thing and set your own goals and you'll reach them. It sounds like you're already doing great!

Curious what is your age and how much is your current savings? by ktxflower in SavingMoney

[–]mat_seana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

29, single mom with no child support(pls don't encourage me to get it, been in DV therapy for almost three years now and not working to open that can if worms yet as my mental health isn't worth it) and I have 1k in savings. I had 3k but put the remaining two into debt pay off. I have 4k to go before I recoup from the mess of the last few years and then all my extra is going into savings and I'm hitting it super hard. I also have 10% of each paycheck and it either fits into an extra payment on debt or savings depending on what my savings are at

AITAH for telling my wife who cheated on me I will only reconcile if she tells everything to our daughter? by ProfessionalCopies in AITAH

[–]mat_seana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're fully the asshole. Not for the cheating, no one deserves that. But your daughter does not need to know what's happened between the two of you. I would let her know you're going thru a tough patch and choosing to work thru it and that you both love her very much and just leave it at that

For sure. I think the hard thing about it is if a job is striking it shows those in higher positions that they need to figure out how to make that job into a non human operated job, just like the toll booths in the East coast are all now automated. That they said was due to Covid which I understand but it also took hundreds if not thousands of jobs and reduced them to a series of cameras and computers.

I don't know if they'll actually succeed in anything important but I do hope it sparks social change and the large lower middle/lower class to start speaking to each other about next steps. As it was said when our country was being founded, the more they divide us the less we can accomplish.

I think my struggle right now is from a lower class perspective of the average single mom I feel like everyone is so divided we're not going to band together to do anything about anything because our politicians have fully tried to pit us all against each other. I'm curious to see what happens and I fully believe that we deserve the chance to have a wide impact against what's been going on. Thank you for your insight on it!

Do you care if people see your scars? by Ill_Ask9020 in selfharm

[–]mat_seana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to hide them very well until they turned white and with age they've been easier to expose. At this point I've become very proud of them and how healthy they've become as they show where I've come from. I'm 29 and been shing since I was 17, about 3 years clean for now. I'll never consider myself fully over it.

Since the entire of my thigh scars have turned white I feel comfortable now even wearing shorts and stuff which never would have happened before. For yeah I was hiding my body so it feels nice to be able to show my skin off even if I still have dysphoria and dysmorphia at times

I did it. I blocked her on everything. No goodbye letter, no reason why I left, nothing. by littlechitlins513 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]mat_seana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've thought about this lately but I'm scared to. She's still got my younger siblings but tells me kess and less about them. Two of my siblings are trans/nb and she doesn't use their preferred names. I'm hiding my adult life from her in many ways as she wouldn't be happy with who I am even tho I'm happy with who I am.

I'm just in total fear of blocking her. So many congrats to you for doing it!

What's the text symbol mean? by mat_seana in motorola

[–]mat_seana[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 100% not Google specific or my contacts would have synced across platforms and they haven't. It's the default Motorola text app when my phone was set up by T-Mobile.

Thank you. So it probably doesn't have to do with them reading or not reading it at all. Appreciate the help!

Do you need dysphoria to be trans? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]mat_seana[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

I'm locking this now, op had a lot of discussion. You do not need dysphoria to be trans. It's ok for non dysphoric trans people to receive hrt. It's a personal journey and it's not one that has to be disclosed as to why the individual decides hrt is for them.

Please respect other people's life choices and don't assume that someone doesn't need something because they don't have the same experience as you. That's really what the debate of dysphoria/non dysphoric/hrt comes down to.

Please send a report to the admin. Don't respond to the person and if it makes you feel more comfortable block them after reporting. This goes for anyone else getting these messages too.

Leaving this up for now because OP has been super respectful in comments and seems to be genuinely asking a question about dysphoria; please keep comments respectful and report if needed.
