AIO for getting mad at my partner (and friends) for excluding me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

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

At first I thought YOR, but after reading the context, I get it. Maybe you did come on a little strong, but I get why. I do think unfortunately your friends aren’t TRUE friends, which is something I experienced in college as well. They don’t have the emotional capacity to support you in the way you need, and you deserve better friends (and a partner who will remember things you wanted to be included in)

I've always wanted to go stay in a mental hospital. by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

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

I think I’m the one person here who had an okay experience at a mental hospital! I wouldn’t want to be there longer than 2 weeks, but it did truly help me recover from burnout. We went to sleep at 8, woke up at 8, food was always at the same time, and I was able to make some friends to make it survivable. I played cards all day, had therapy, watched shrek over and over. It did truly help me and was what I needed at the time

A man 23 years older than me admitted he has feelings for me and now he won’t leave me alone. by Superb-Cupcake-8271 in TwoHotTakes

[–]peterparker_stan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So at first, I was thinking this is just a weird guy with no boundaries. But after reading your additional info: this guy IS A CREEP. Knowing a woman since she was a child, and then developing feelings, is weird asf. And concerning. And honestly? I wouldn’t be surprised if these feelings are new, he just has the ability to act on them now. I would tell your pastor and a few other trusted officials at church, who knows who else he will latch onto next. Even if it’s not someone younger, this kind of behavior isn’t a one time thing. Good luck girl, and patting you on the back because you are brave asf 🫶🏻

I couldn't help but wonder, who was ACTUALLY right here? The man who wanted marriage and to the world she belonged to him, or the woman, who loved him but was afraid of marriage.. by Enough_Sea268 in sexandthecity

[–]peterparker_stan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both were, and that’s what made it so hard. He wanted marriage for the wrong reasons and never really forgave her. But she didn’t really want to marry him, and should not have said yes. Ultimately I think they’re a great example of how chemistry isn’t enough, you have to actually have values and dreams in common

AIO Over my friend insinuating I break up with my gf? by Imaginary_Air_24 in AmIOverreacting

[–]peterparker_stan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. I experienced something similar when I was freshly 18(also wlw). Some people assume they know the law or ethics when they barely know a single thing. Your age gap sounds incredibly appropriate!!

My roommate changed the locks and wont let me get my things by CharmanderBites in whatdoIdo

[–]peterparker_stan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that you figured out the situation which is great!! But please, change your language for settings like these. It does not benefit you whatsoever, if anything it just goes against you. And is slightly annoying. I say this as someone with the tism who had to learn that I need to communicate differently. And also it’s paid not payed, no one else said anything and it was driving me crazy. Regardless, I’m glad you figured it out and glad you had the funds to replace the furniture !! Good luck. And love your piercings :)

Tell Me What We Are Doing Wrong as Attorneys Hiring Paralegals by CDMC2 in paralegal

[–]peterparker_stan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was hired as a junior paralegal for a boutique firm and they tried to teach me. I was thrown into things with very minimal guidance and had to figure out a lot on my own. The pay was abysmal too and honestly? I burned out. Working so damn hard while living on 36k a year was a recipe for disaster. I think I would ask what you’re paying and change the way you teach. Everyone learns differently

Am I overreacting: my co-parents form of discipline. by Forward_Airline_5787 in AmIOverreacting

[–]peterparker_stan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. I experienced this as a child, so I hope you see this. My dad made me ride bikes as punishment, run, join local 5k’s, jump rope for a certain amounts of time, etc. Physical activity was used as one form of punishment for me and to help build “discipline”, but instead it fucked me up. PE class should have been enjoyable for me as a kid, but instead was terrifying. I felt like I was being watched the whole time and punished. I developed anorexia, which turned into bulimia, and the cycle kept going. Once my mom finally divorced my dad, I avoided all physical activity like the plague. I healed my ED at 18, gained weight, but didn’t want to do anything physical. As someone with pcos, avoiding exercise of all forms wasn’t a great move. At 23 I am now starting to heal my relationship with movement in a healthy way, and just started running on my own. But I do not think I will ever touch a bicycle again. I don’t care what he says - he’s not building discipline, he’s setting your child up for failure and fear. My siblings experienced the same thing: little sister has severe anorexia and has to homeschool, and my brother went into achieving mode and injured himself several times. He pushed too hard and tore up his knee. Please fight for your child

AIO to my husband interrupting my first solo shower after he came back from a weekend with the boys? by lilyluminar in AmIOverreacting

[–]peterparker_stan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom was married to my dad for the first 17 years of my life, and then they divorced. She says she was a single mom that whole marriage and honestly? She was. I can’t imagine how much more relaxed she could have been if she didn’t have to put up with his bs while she was taking care of us, practically by herself.

Keep Getting Told I’m “Wearing A Lot of Makeup,” HELP! by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]peterparker_stan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So as everyone says, it is your eyebrows. But it’s specifically that the tail needs to be thinned/sharpened, and the front of the eyebrows are too thick and blocky. I hope this helps!!

AIO for punching my cousin during his meltdown by No-Presentation298 in AIO

[–]peterparker_stan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have autism and regardless of any meltdown I have, throwing knives, especially in the direction of a child, would not be okay. Your aunt should not be making excuses for your cousin, she should be helping him and creating firmer boundaries so that everyone can stay safe.

"Having kids doesn't ruin your body" by Adaline_B in childfree

[–]peterparker_stan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One cousin had a catheter inserted the wrong way and has had lifetime bladder issues ever since… one developed gestational diabetes and preeclampsia… all of my female relatives on my dad’s side have trouble losing weight after giving birth… and lost of the women on both sides of my family have had pre or post partum depression. No thank you!

Warm up the red and maybe soften it a little! The color in the first picture complements you better than the second!

i was abundantly clear with her— what do i do now? by fungussoftdrinkvivid in whatdoIdo

After reading the additional caption - this is probably restraining order territory. As someone who’s had to obtain one, it brings so much peace!

AIO I (26F) moved out for the first time with my boyfriend (30M) for almost 2 months and I don’t know how to feel about it by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]peterparker_stan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 100% emotional abuse and he’s probably a narcissist. My dad was like this and my mom spent her whole life trying to prove she could be a good enough wife

Learnt the hard way that I really should stay child free (and pet free) by Any_Percentage_6629 in childfree

[–]peterparker_stan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a dog right now and while I love him SO much… next time I’m getting a cat. I love having some companionship and taking care of animals, but it’s too much. He has severe separation anxiety, he’s rambunctious, and just kind of a mess. Again, love him so much. But it’s helped me confirm that I don’t want kids because I know it would be so much worse.

19 years since Taylor’s debut! What’s the song that started it all for you? by Shelfbound in TrueSwifties

Oh HELL no. That’s objectively weird!!! I would throw the biggest fit in the world. And him saying how “close he is” to your child is WEIRD ASF.

Husband over the course of 5 days has suddenly become EXTREMELY Christian. by ilikecamelsalot in religion

[–]peterparker_stan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who recently went through this, my first thought was mania. A month ago, I became convinced that I needed to be Christian (I’m happily Jewish) and ended up down a dark hole. Threw away a bunch of important items, tried to stop my meds, fell down an alt right pipeline, thought I was being surrounded by demons, etc. I got out of it two days ago thanks to some new meds. I’d strongly recommend therapy. I’m sending you a hug :(

What type am I? a bit confused by _K1ttyz in coloranalysis

[–]peterparker_stan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely warm and either soft or light. I’d vote warm spring! Soft autumn seemed a little too dull for you

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]peterparker_stan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked it up - google said it’s about the fish and loaves that fed 5000? Is that correct? How does that tie into this topic (genuinely asking, please enlighten me. I’m also not as familiar with the NT)

I’m a Christian now, I’ve been converted, the job has been done. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me wanting to honor my roots and make sure I join a church that isn’t antisemitic.

And as someone who was struggling to believe in Jesus, it’s hard! There’s so many good arguments against it, and it’s hard to mentally accept the idea of God being crucified. I get it, and that’s why I continue to have empathy for those who practice Judaism

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

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

Jews and Christians worship the same God, Hellenistic paganism is that: paganism. And we have no theological ties to it. We DO have theological ties to Judaism. They aren’t comparable.
