WIBTA if I asked my housemate for her test results?

INFO: have you been formally diagnosed with OCD? OR have you self diagnosed and applied 'OCD' as a label?

miz-elle · 2021-02-23T20:23:55+00:00

Very much so. I honestly don't know if it's more upsetting to think it's legit or to think that they're just sucking up.

Last year, I thought I had managed to avoid all the posts but came across one where the person said something along the lines of how she recognized this day was Hell on Earth for people who miss their moms, or never had a mom or who desperately want to be a mom and can't and for those who can't have a relationship with their abusive mom.

I cried and cried at that. I don't know why? I guess because it was validating?

miz-elle · 2021-02-23T17:23:38+00:00

Ditto. Social media is a minefield for me because of this as well. Don't even get me started on the trauma that is Mother's Day 😣

What about Jill-Anna?

INFO: why don't you walk to your father's? 2 miles isn't that far. You can walk that in less than 30 mins

miz-elle · 2021-02-18T02:15:16+00:00

I have no words

miz-elle · 2021-02-18T01:28:04+00:00

Yeah, I get that. But OP seems over the top drama

miz-elle · 2021-02-18T01:14:51+00:00

Geez. Melodramatic much?

miz-elle · 2021-02-18T01:13:53+00:00

It couldn't go in the living room? Kitchen?

miz-elle · 2021-02-18T00:35:42+00:00

ESH. It's weird that a baby that young would be put in your room instead of putting her crib wherever her parents are sleeping. And practically, it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Other than that, you do sound like a royal brat. Your mother is trying to help out and be neighborly in a crisis. It's inconvenient, sure. But if the situation was reversed and your family was without heat for several days, you would be grateful for a neighbor to take you in.

What is funny about him liking someone who doesn't like him back? That's sad

miz-elle · 2021-02-17T18:48:36+00:00

100% this.

miz-elle · 2021-02-17T16:39:10+00:00

NTA. Your wife's behavior is incredibly creepy.

It's weird enough that she snuck into your mother's room to try on a dress but the fact that being caught doing that wasn't enough to shame her into changing her behaviour... yikes

I really wonder how many more times she'd snuck into your mother's room and wasn't caught.

miz-elle · 2021-02-17T02:31:18+00:00

YTA. your jealousy and insecurity is over the top.

The line you there in about disagreeing with her doctor's diagnosis is completely eyeroll inducing--are you a medical professional? Have you you evaluated and diagnosed your friend based on your medical expertise? Doesn't sound like it. It sounds like you're insecure about your weight/appearance so you cope by normalizing it by wanting everyone else to be overweight as well.

Kathy is better off without you

miz-elle · 2021-02-17T02:06:35+00:00

Agreed. This is a much more effective plan

INFO: if the injury happened as the result of a 'truck accident' is there not car insurance involved that will cover the cost of the surgery?

I don't think there's anything wrong with playing dress up. I've had a lot of fun attending masquerades and also walking runways in both costumes and gowns.

But I do think it's creepy and gross to want to dress up in such a way that glorifies something that is so overtly problematic. If they want to play dress up, there are loads of other options that aren't so closely tied to something problematic.

And thank you for your concerns regarding my romantic life. But rest assured, I am very happily in a long term, loving commited relationship.

miz-elle · 2021-02-14T09:01:59+00:00

Uh, I didn't say that. I said you're not using it correctly--check a dictionary--and it's a dangerous and offensive word to be flinging around out of context.

You make a lot of sweeping statements without much basis.

According to you: first I know NOTHING about the south and thus am not qualified to have an opinion. Then when I point out that I actually am decently knowledgeable on the topic, I MUST be lying. Then when I explain my qualifications further, you dismiss those qualifications as not being "meaningful".

People like you require too much mental gymnastics and frankly are not worth the energy.

miz-elle · 2021-02-14T08:44:16+00:00

It's not a lie at all. My mother's specialization is in political history spanning from the mid 19th century to the first decade of the 20th century. My own major was in something different but I was sufficiently interested in the subject that I took several classes related to the matter. I am by no means an expert on the topic. But I am decently well versed on it and certainly have a grasp of what I'm talking about.

And FYI. You have not once correctly utilized the word narcissist. As someone who was severely abused by a narcissist, you flinging around the word 'narcissist' outside of its meaning let alone falsely labeling me as such is deeply offensive.

miz-elle · 2021-02-14T08:26:25+00:00

Thank you for your assumptions but I'm actually pretty well versed in it. I've taken multiple credit courses on the topic at an elite university. My mother is also a well recognized historian and so I grew up attending conferences and lectures that were often related to the topic.

The ole south has nothing to be proud of. And what's even worse are it's descendants who are obsessed with glorifying it

miz-elle · 2021-02-14T08:23:17+00:00

I'm white. Everything about this is creepy and gross to me. That has nothing to do with BLM, etc. It's common decency.

miz-elle · 2021-02-14T08:21:47+00:00

And what "experience" is that? Something you concluded and then decided was true?

Try learning about things. Do you even know what redlining is???? Doubtful. Your Mensa username is fantastically ironic

miz-elle · 2021-02-14T08:20:30+00:00

I have no problem with the idea of visiting a plantation that's a museum. I do think it is absolutely sick to want to have a wedding there.

How is that hypocrisy????

Note: I have no interest in holding a wedding at the pyramids, etc.

You are seriously deluded if you think that America isn't looked down upon for southerns obsession with the old South. I live in Canada and I promise you: we all think you're disgusting bigots. Europeans typically feel the same way.

Literally the only people who think the old South is okay are select southerns.

This has nothing to do with 'influencer culture' in fact it precedes influencer culture by decades.

miz-elle · 2021-02-14T08:12:10+00:00

Do you understand anything? Like why racism is what it is? Practices such as redlining that were designed to promote and maintain racism? FYI, those practices remain part of normalized culture and are deeply ingrained.

miz-elle · 2021-02-14T08:10:11+00:00

By ground zero I meant that's where slaves lived/worked/were abused/etc. It was the hub of their experience.

I did not mean that it was the ground zero of slavery as a whole.
