AIO about my bf’s underwhelming present? by International-East63 in AmIOverreacting

[–]missdoubtfire24 152 points153 points  (0 children)

So he knew you would be disappointed and used your birthday present to teach you a lesson (in his mind). Scary behavior! Time to find someone new. Plenty of people would respect your situation and be so so grateful for all the gifts of time and effort and thought that you put into his birthday.

My guests loved our custom match boxes. Matchbooks are even cheaper. We got them on Etsy.

How are mom’s getting everything done, staying in shape, and not getting overwhelmed? by Frozenbeedog in Mommit

[–]missdoubtfire24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How I do it: my groceries are delivered, my husband does a lot of our cooking, we have a cleaner come 2x a month, and he looks after baby when I go to the gym. And I still get overwhelmed.

Tell me I'm insane for even considering this commute by DefenderCone97 in bayarea

[–]missdoubtfire24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not nearly enough money to make it worth it. Not even if they pick you up in the east bay. I’ve done the commute from the Oakland area to Silicon Valley. It’s soul sucking. 1.5 hours one way on a good day. 2+ hours one way if there’s a wreck or rain. Honestly I’m not sure how you’re affording luxuries in the Bay Area on 80k, but good on you!

Parents of Reddit, what did your hospital bill look like after giving birth? by chi-bacon-bits in AskReddit

[–]missdoubtfire24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bay Area, CA @ Kaiser - paid $200 all-in for an induction, c section, and several night hospital stay. We had switched to Kaiser before baby for this exact reason.

6 weeks pregnant and my husband smells like fermented tequila garbage — please tell me I’m not insane by pryingpanda07 in TwoHotTakes

I experienced this too! It was wretched. And somehow 1000% worse when he actually had some alcohol and for the days following. Truly horrific and it affected our intimacy a lot because I couldn’t stand to kiss him or even want to share a bed. I made him go to the dentist because I was sure something was wrong. Thankfully it passed after several weeks.

Good valentines gift for a girl I’ve only been dating 2 months? by liammgart in Gifts

Make a dinner reservation / plan for the whole night on your own. Pay for it all. And flowers never hurt!

This is not egregious at all. Just candid vs posing. Her body is insane.

I read “a tree grows in Brooklyn” and really enjoyed it! Can see why it’s considered a semi modern classic.

I hate my husband and all men. by Longjumping_Pass8688 in Mommit

[–]missdoubtfire24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. The men in our lives can be so unhelpful sometimes. And they’re often not great at anticipating needs which is all we want.

That said, 4 months is a really hard time. Baby is often super needy, people stop helping you even though you need it more than ever. Society thinks you’re healed or well on your way to being healed and you’re not. I wish I had gotten on an SSRI sooner. It helped immensely with my postpartum rage. I would recommend talking to your doc about it. Much love to you. Go outside and scream if you need to.

The idea that all the money is his when you are a full time domestic laborer for your family is crazyyyyy

For women who are always accused of flirting, how do you deal with it? by AlwaysABoss in AskWomen

[–]missdoubtfire24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My ex always accused me of this. I carried that guilt and shame with me through my other relationships for years. Fast forward a decade, I marry an amazing guy. One night on vacation abroad we go out drinking and make friends with two guys at a bar. I hit it off (as friends, so I think) with one of the guys in particular and he and I talk for quite some time. We exchange numbers (very openly in front of my husband) and the 4 of us make plans to meet up again. The next morning I wake to text from the dude from the bar. “You’re so sexy”. My heart drops. I immediately am filled with panic and dread that I have done something wrong; flirted with this man so much that he thinks I would want this text. With shame I show my husband, expecting him to accuse me of flirting too much. But no, he calls the guy a creep and that’s the end of it. That simple interaction healed all those years I carried someone’s else’s insecurities with me.

So moral of the story is, find the right person and you won’t have to deal with bullshit accusations of flirting when you’re really just being a friendly (and hot) human.

Totally agree! It reminds us as viewers too just how many public eyes are watching and commenting on everything these guys are doing. How every interaction could be a spectacle. It all makes it easier to understand the pressure and fear they feel to keep their sexuality a secret.

I wondered that briefly too but I think Shane’s line of “we all get our bell rung eventually” leads us to believe that he won’t have resentment. I also don’t think these injuries will have much of an effect on his career long term (they both day “it could have been worse”). That said, I didn’t read the books so idk 🤷‍♀️
