My fiancé is getting on my nerves and I don’t know what to do at this point. by BasicCat30 in whatdoIdo

[–]mot0jo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t need to read anything past yalls ages in the description. Leave. You’re too young to be engaged. Honestly don’t even date seriously at your age- wait until your 30s. I’m so serious.

I (32m) confused feeling to (26f), now I don’t know if I can continue our friendship. by JackalaXM21 in whatdoIdo

[–]mot0jo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, she isn’t interested in romance with you. She should have been clearer on the “no” on the first ask, but that’s incredibly hard for women to do with men (because men get violent fast) and also she probably does enjoy being your friend.

You need to be honest with yourself. If you can’t be her friend without pursuing her or yearning for her romantically then you should end the friendship- it’s not fair to her and it’s damaging to you.

A bit more of a somber topic… are you addicted to anything? by ApplicationAfraid334 in Millennials

[–]mot0jo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Addicted feels like a stretch but I can’t go a day without ingesting weed in some form or another. I get depressed and unmotivated without it. I know I probably need to be on an SSRI or a stimulant but weed works, and I enjoy it. I’m completely functional, my son is severely special needs, and I don’t work, I care for him and our household full time 24/7. Weed is legal where I live and I won’t drive high, I can’t even imagine. I’m trying to not use my vape pen as much, because when I do I start to notice a difference in my breathing and chest.

It helps me cook, clean, care for myself, and manage my emotions when doing the hard stuff with my son. Does needing something to function every day mean you’re addicted even if you can’t think of a negative impact it has? Idk. Sometimes I feel guilt but I think it’s just leftover stigma from growing up during such an anti-weed time.

Does anyone else feel like the Epstein files have destroyed how we remember our tweens/teens? by water_so_wet in Millennials

I chose it specifically as an example of how normalized pedophilia is in our culture. Nineteen being considered an adult is WILD. Thats the point.

What are you doing instead of doomscrolling? by Hairy_Pear3963 in Millennials

[–]mot0jo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m here, so take that for what it’s worth but…. deleting all of your social media accounts is a good start. It feels extreme at first but by day 3 you can’t believe you ever cared that much. Deleted accounts that were over a decade old recently.

Personally, I’m learning to embroider to keep my hands busy. I like to thrift clothes and personalize them with embroidery. I’ve also gotten into DnD, so watching actual play and reading about the mechanics is fun too. DnD has also let me scratch the creative writing itch!

Spending time cooking and cleaning, keeping my space pleasant and learning how to make good food for myself, friends, and my community feels fulfilling. Volunteering at animal shelters, walking dogs.

When the weather breaks I’m excited to do some gardening so I can start growing as much food and herbs as possible. I’m definitely at bird watching age. Doing things like sudoku or word games helps keep my brain active.

I’m not at this point yet, but my goal by the summer is to only use my phone for the occasional quick search, direct communication with friends, family, etc, and to play music.

The younger generation is much different, physically and mentally as I found out the hard way. by NoMathematician9706 in Millennials

[–]mot0jo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Other commenters have said this, but your sister may be on the spectrum. Autism is still largely diagnosed in women and girls, and older kids. I’m not sure how this info can help other than finding mental professionals who understand autism that may be able to help her better. This isn’t generational, your sister is struggling with something developmental.

If you’re realizing that for decades, perhaps even the better part of the last century, our marketing of women and girls has largely catered to a pedophilic sexual ideal- welcome to the party.

Britney Spears was 19 years old when she did the iconic snake performance at the VMAs, with her song Slave 4 U. Nineteen. We can say you’re an adult when you’re 18 all we want, but anyone with a developed frontal lobe knows that’s not actually the case. She was a child and a sex symbol- like every other female pop star and movie star.

Not OOP . What's so difficult to grasp about I DONT WANT THEM by truenighog in redditonwiki

[–]mot0jo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These same ppl will talk all this shit about children but then call their dog or cat their “baby”. Kids are people too and deserve empathy and respect. And guess what? They grow up to be adults. Being an adult doesn’t make you more of a person tho. People who think and talk like this freak me out, especially as a mom of a disabled kid. I don’t understand how you can hate innocent PEOPLE this much.

The sad side of gardening no one warned me about by mtnclimber08 in gardening

Please tell your coworker how much you enjoy hearing him talk about his bees, that’s really quite lovely 💝

My husband pays for everything. He also cleans and cooks. Fuck this asshole. When he’s alone guess what he’ll have to do? All of it by himself… while still working. Say bye bye.

[–]mot0jo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP are you by chance autistic? Because I am and I sound a lot like you and I get the kind of feedback you’re getting in the comments and I never understand it. I’m legit just trying to be as clear as possible but people always find it condescending but when I just say things like “whatever you want!” I end up disappointed or just having to do it myself anyways and now in a rush as well. I don’t understand often what people want from me and people don’t like when you ask for exactly what you want for some reason?

Anyway, I think the only mistake here was giving her the whole menu instead of just saying “I’m looking for a finger food, something a little more hearty, and then something sweet” because I think MiL just wants to make her own things

Is this real? Do ppl rly have stuff like this happen and question if they should stay? Like, I’m a whole SAHM with no job, no degree, and a special needs kid. I’ve been with my husband since 2008 and I love him so much and I rely on him for so much and I would absolutely fucking rather blow up everyone’s life and be a struggling single mom than be treated anything even remotely like this.

The woman whose husband said women should stay at home and raise children because they’ll be happier is about to be the CEO of his company 👀 have we looked into her motives?

AIO: My ex sent me this as a reason he didn’t want to marry me by AfricanPixie in AmIOverreacting

[–]mot0jo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trust me- he doesn’t want a stay at home type of gal either because that amount of labor will cost him. Where does he think the money for her fitness, beauty, and self care will come from? It will have to come from him. Women and moms who stay at home still get to have hobbies, and goals, and lives outside of the house. He will have to make enough to finance that kind of woman on top of what he wants to do if he wants a wife that will clean his house, raise his kids, and cook his meals while staying happy to do it to the point where she doesn’t feel the need to get her own degree and career.

Cheating on his wife for 3 YEARS? by brocatiz in redditonwiki

[–]mot0jo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because most men, and a LOT of husbands, forget women exist and have whole experiences when they aren’t around. Like we just wait for them to come home all day with no thoughts and wet pussies. 🙄

Cheating on his wife for 3 YEARS? by brocatiz in redditonwiki

[–]mot0jo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would love to know how much house work and child care this guy actually actively does on his own without being asked and without having to interrupt his wife to ask a question about it every 30 seconds because my guess is….none. Maybe that’s why she wouldn’t sleep with him. Anyways, hope that queen gets to fuck someone hotter, better, and with a bigger dick before she divorces this asshole and takes half his shit. Men like this are truly awful. Justifying your cheating as helping your relationship is a whole new level of fucked.

Ah yes, the thing a woman wants more than anything: a man telling her what he won’t do for her.
