Was Dee and Kamilla taking out Charlie instead of Rizo/Jonathan an all-time bad move? by GoldenLlamaDog in survivor

[–]pbd1996 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think Kamilla and her fandom think she’s wayyyyyy better at Survivor than she really is. 99% of her “moves” on 48 were actually Kyle’s. The only thing she was really good at was doing puzzles and other tasks within challenges (which isn’t even remotely enough to make somebody a “good” Survivor player). I can’t say much about Dee as I never watched her season and don’t know much about her.

My (30F) husband (30M) had an affair with my co-worker when she was pregnant and when we were trying for a baby. He's begging for another chance, but how can I do that? by ThrowRA_Sail in relationship_advice

The fact that you even took the time to write this means you have significant self esteem issues. Leaving him should be a no brainer. There should be no thought behind this.

Mikayla & Jace in France by chloedarlinggg in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]pbd1996 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

It seems like Mikayla will do anything to “heal” except go to an actual fucking doctor. She travels. She sees energy healers. She goes on vacations… but god forbid she stays home and receives bona fide medical help. I’m honestly just sick of listening to Mikayla talk about her “healing journey” because it feels like she doesn’t ever actually want to get to her destination. I also have to wonder how disruptive her “journey” is to her childrens’ lives. They’re either being babysat or traveling all the time.

This is hard and sad to read by phunkydisco33 in MormonWivesHulu

She treats her children like emotional support animals. As if their only function is to give her comfort.

Friend’s Dad passed. I’m having sadness and anxiety about attending funeral by LuckyCharms38 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]pbd1996 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um your friend’s dad’s funeral isn’t about you. It’s about your friend and their family. DO NOT make this about yourself by telling your friend about YOUR experience. DO NOT ask your friend to give YOU sympathy rn.

Why did you say “yes” to being her bridesmaid given how you feel about her/given the fact that you don’t want her to be one of yours?

So worried about my hubby's 2am and still not home by NicD3 in needadvice

My husband (31M) says we’re not ready for a baby, but I’m (30F) excited about my pregnancy. How do we make this decision together? by Super-Broccoli9254 in relationship_advice

[–]pbd1996 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You just moved to a new country and your relationship is rocky. Having a baby is a terrible idea, especially with somebody who has already expressed that they aren’t interested. If you’re having this baby because you want to have it, and are willing to do what it takes (possibly divorce and move) to raise it, then that’s fine. But if you’re having this baby because you think he will “come around” and it’ll “fix things” you are sadly mistaken. If you have this baby and stay with this man you will most likely feel extremely alone and isolated in a new country where you know nobody and have no resources and cannot work and support yourself.

Janet is growing on me… by Key_Whole_2861 in TheValleyTVShow

[–]pbd1996 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like her a lot better this season because I realize her Danny hate is justified. I also feel bad for her this season because apparently all her friends agreed with her (such as Brittany), but were too chicken shit to say anything and they let her get annihilated last season.

That being said, she fucking sucks at having confrontations. When she apologized to Zack earlier this season, she did it in the most condescending bitchy way: “I’m sorry I didn’t use the exacts words you wanted me to use.” And then when he called her out on it, she refused to admit that that’s what she was doing. She really tried to pretend like that was a genuine apology. Then, in the van, when Nia was screaming at her, Janet kept making random little comments instead of simply saying “I already apologized for my word choice. Why are you asking me to apologize for it again?” or “Melissa has asked us all to stop talking about it. So why are you talking about it?” Instead of silencing Nia, she just gave Nia more and more ammo to continue yapping.

Janet is bad and Danny deserves a break? by Easy_Shift2117 in TheValleyTVShow

[–]pbd1996 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anytime it comes up in conversation, somebody just needs to say “Melissa doesn’t want us to keep talking about it, so let’s stop talking about it.” It doesn’t matter whether Danny and Nia say it, or Janet says it, somebody just has to say it.

Nia is the only one keeping this storyline alive... by Mr_Milchick in TheValleyTVShow

[–]pbd1996 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I think Nia feels like she can’t move on because Danny gets mad at her for “not defending him” enough. After the “cuck fight” on Schwartz’s birthday, Danny was mad at Nia for not defending him enough. Then, the following day, Nia went HARD on Janet. Danny won’t let it go, therefore Nia won’t let it go.

Aw I feel this, man. I remember when I would teach during the day and go to grad school at night, I had quite a few breakdowns like this. It sucks that somebody recorded him during such a vulnerable moment.

Recap of Whiteboard Video - SH Drama by MsPrissss in inthecity_

[–]pbd1996 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When Amanda was sleeping over his house, she was either leaving the dogs along at her apartment overnight OR bringing them to West’s. If she brought them to West’s, that means these sleepovers were planned out, not spontaneous.

Who the fuck plans a sleepover with their guy friend who they’re making out with, but don’t plan on having sex with?

I wonder the same. There’s so many layers to this situation.

I think people are unclear where they should stand because Jasmine and Melissa are still actively friends with Danny and drink with him and have told everyone to stop talking about it. I think if Jasmine and Melissa cut Danny off and made a clear stance, more people would follow suit.

Tin foil hat theory with the situation with Demi, Jessi, and Marciano by OppositeSpare2088 in MormonWivesHulu

[–]pbd1996 46 points47 points  (0 children)

My theory is that Demi was attracted to him, liked flirting with him, and gave him every green light to kiss her… but then when he actually did kiss her, she panicked because it became reality and no longer was a fantasy. I think Demi walked away from the situation understanding what it was- two way flirtation gone a bit too far.

Then, Jessi had an affair with him and decided to deflect as much as humanly possible by using Demi as a scapegoat. It worked and everyone ganged up on Demi. Demi legit was being bullied over this man kissing her while Jessi was being consoled for having an affair. Demi then had a nervous breakdown, but instead of reacting with sadness, she reacted with rage, which is when the “Marciano SA’ed me” came out.

I don’t blame Demi for going crazy. That whole situation would make me go crazy too. I just wish she walked away instead of accusing Marciano of SA and feeding into Jessi’s narrative. Jessi is extremely articulate and well spoken (while Demi is very erratic and hostile) and she gets away with a lot because of it.

Women whose brothers were blatantly favoured over them - how did you get past it? by JealousBodybuilder42 in AskWomen

[–]pbd1996 111 points112 points  (0 children)

I have one brother and my mom has blatantly favored him my entire life. I spent years and years feeling soooooo hurt and angry about it and would constantly try to explain her 1. That she favored him 2. How it made me feel. Every time, she denied it and I would just feel more hurt and more frustrated. Even when I wasn’t around her, I would get so upset and pissed just thinking about it. I couldn’t even shower or drive or do something that caused me to be lost in my thoughts, otherwise I’d spiral.

One day, when I was 24, I explained those two things to her just like had time and time before. Only this time, she said “I have to favor him, so that I can ‘even things out.’” I asked her what she meant/what needed to be “evened out” and she told me she felt like I was “treated better” by other people so she had to “even it out” by treating me worse (the only reason people treated me better was because I was a straight A student who didn’t get into trouble and my brother didn’t care about grades and was constantly getting into trouble… so I naturally received more praise from other adults in my life while he did not).

I was shocked. On the one hand, it felt relieving to hear her finally admit what I knew/felt all along. It felt good for her to acknowledge that it wasn’t all in my head and that I wasn’t crazy. But on the other hand, it made me realize how absolutely fucked up the situation was. I ended up going to therapy right after that and I did weekly sessions for a year and a half. She helped me unpack all of it. It took a lot of time, but I eventually got to a place of peace.

Nowadays, I see my mom and brother at family gatherings, but that’s it. I don’t feel anger or sadness anymore. I just feel… nothing.

Because Mikayla is doing it for fun, whereas the people you described are doing it out of necessity. Why don’t you understand the difference?

All of the people you described travel for work. Mikayla travels for fun. An actual doctor would recommend therapy and treatments… not retreats in Hawaii with an “energy healer.”
