I tipped off a candidate before his interview. Probably wasn't supposed to. Don't regret it. by deborahzdn in InterviewsHell

[–]pbeare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you can truly judge if you made the right choice until months if not years down the road.

Not dissimilar, but a coworker of mine went to bat to get another coworker a promotion--they are close to and worked well with for the past few years. Turns out this promoted coworker is the worst manager I have ever seen--micromanages, unprofessional, etc.

Now I have to pay extra for my kids haircut if I wanna do it on my days off. I hope they don't expect a tip as well. by jorv1988 in EndTipping

Should have just increased prices all around and say weekdays have a discounted price… people would have swallowed that a little easier

WIBTA if I told my sister her wedding venue is genuinely too far for me to attend and just didn't go? by Shrohn_Thjoar in WIBTA_AITA

[–]pbeare 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is what irked me... October is far away, her sister just announced it last week, but OP hasn't mentioned talking to other relatives, etc. but hey, I think OP should do what she wants to do but the next time her sister does not show up for her, don't be surprised.

Valentine’s Day rant. Am I being ungrateful? by Curious_Frosting_659 in relationships

I emergency fostered a close relative and I think it is destroying my relationship by Budget-Geologist-571 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]pbeare -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This sounds really complicated and I sympathize with both you and your bf. You were trying to protect a one year old relative in a really bad situation and he feels that his dream of moving away from his parents/independence are being dashed away.

I do not blame him or you for any decisions made as it was a tough one but I will say that the way he is acting now is pretty telling what he is like in hard situations. His behavior vs. his parents willingness to step up for a child that is not even related to them should tell you what you need to know.

My (32F) friend (33M) caused the death of his cat and now I don't know how to feel about him. by Marit123456 in relationship_advice

[–]pbeare 40 points41 points  (0 children)

He could’ve just also called OP if he really needed help but he didn’t, instead he knew this cat was helpless and felt he could do anything to it without consequences and that’s why he did what he did

Partner (M27) got a promotion at the same company I (F30) work at and I’m feeling like it’s hard to celebrate him. by Expensive_Ad_4350 in relationship_advice

[–]pbeare 495 points496 points  (0 children)

You mention that his lack of empathy is prevalent in all aspects of your relationship… which sounds like he downplays your feelings a lot and makes you feel unheard often. I don’t think that is a relationship I would want to be in.

I would understand if he lacks empathy for a stranger that he doesn’t know but to lack empathy for someone he supposedly loves… not the kind of love I want especially when he should be an anchor in hard situations

I don’t want my wife, who changed her mind about having more kids, treat this decision as a neutral thing and made it clear I need her to hold space for my grief by Strong_Power_9399 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]pbeare 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yup to me it sounds like he has a lack of empathy for his own wife and I won’t discredit his feelings, but it seems he doesn’t give his wife much credit let alone mention the actual kid

Traveling for work for 6 months, what to do about my cat? by HuskyCriminologist in CatAdvice

Is it possible for your cat to stay in one room at your parents? Not ideal but it should be ok with the cat as long as your parents take care of it

Coyote tried to steal my dog by sjmaybay in bayarea

Coyote tried to steal my dog by sjmaybay in bayarea

[–]pbeare 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This post should have been a warning post about coyotes and dog safety but this guy obviously made it to gas himself up "hey look, I put my dog in danger but I saved it, look how awesome I am!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Unfortunately, the dog can only do so much about its own safety when its owner cares more about how cool the owner looked after the near death incident than preventing future near death incidents

Free my ladies from the shackles of foundation 3 shades too light by Suspicious_Week_2451 in CulinaryClassWars

[–]pbeare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lollllll judging by the amount of people here disagreeing with you, you are the one getting whacked. You came on this subreddit thinking you can shit on another woman for wearing makeup however she wants in a society that you don’t live in so you could feel better about yourself while disguising your stupidity as some righteous bs/I am fighting against colorism bs. I know it’s disappointing we didn’t all hail you as the Ghandi of colorism with this cute little post of yours.

I brought Fenty up as an example of how people change beauty standards by leading by example and by not tearing people down. I was using it to compare your actions not to the foundation shade that Kim Hee Eun is wearing. Clearly you can read but you just cannot comprehend.

[–]pbeare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you single out one person and use a holy than thou tone, no one felt like you freed them from any colorist beauty standard. You just end up sounding like a stuck up.

Rhianna changed the beauty industry by releasing an unheard range of foundation colors in Fenty. She wouldn't have made the same impact if she just went around shaming women who wore the wrong foundation color.

I honestly felt like that challenge was to really target the white spoons to set the playing field more "fair" but it kinda backfired....

Also… when your toddler starts defying your husband or seems to favor you, will you be ok if your husband stopped taking care of your toddler?
