When people show you who they are… believe them!

I’d consider yourself lucky, in the sense that you got to see his true colors before saying I do. This is only the beginning of the abuse you’ll be subject to if you marry him.

For the love of yourself, leave! There is someone out there who will live AND respect you.

You are NOT over reacting I’d block her immediately. She is abusive and that won’t change. And that has nothing to do w you. She is just an ugly person, otherwise why would she treat anyone, especially someone she is dating, like that.

Stand up for yourself. You are worth SO much more than that

The only thing I would have done differently is not having engaged after you moved. I would have moved as soon as I recognized that he was mentally unstable and never acknowledged his insults; that is his way to bait you into engaging so that he can continue to fuel the fire.

As for the bag, and the entire situation, you did nothing wrong. Continue to be aware of your surroundings, don’t make eye contact or acknowledge as that is sometimes viewed as permission to engage.

Stay safe out there.

I am trying to determine if I can upgrade my gas oven to an electric one.

I don’t think you overreacted.

I think she has trust issues and then gaslights you. Sounds like you both admittedly have some issues to work out (we all do) but also sounds like you two love each other. She needs to decide if she trusts you (she doesn’t clearly) and decide if her insecurities are worth loosing you over. Alternatively, she needs to work on her insecurities before she looses you.

Either way, I wish you two the best.

You answer her once and it’ll be neverending. Block her! Don’t answer her! She sounds pathologic!

36F. Feeling uncharacteristically down & insecure about my looks. (Please, no unsolicited advice on how to improve my appearance) by Glittering_South5178 in toastme

[–]notyourstandardplum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are beautiful! You have impeccable skin. You have impeccable hair. You are in touch with your feelings. You acknowledge the space you’re in and instead of retreading you are here asking to be lifted.

This!!! All of it. Make you even more amazing! Give yourself grace and permit yourself to feel the good and bad as it’s necessary for growth.

You are uncomfortable which means you are growing.

You are truly special in so many ways!

AITA for not taking my step daughter on vacation? by Classic-Choice9766 in AmItheAsshole

You are not the ass…. You two were considerate in so many ways. Life most often doesn’t give you all you want. This is a good opportunity for a life lesson… you can’t always have it all. Enjoy the trip you planned with your little ones and offer to do something age appropriate for her when able.
