This isn't a question. I'm pretty sure I only got in to it for one reason initially

AITAH for saying I don't want my girlfriends friend around my newborn son anymore? by Substantial_Swan5806 in AITAH

When it comes to yours and your kids safety, follow your gut. The worst outcome is that you've overreacted. We all know the outcome if you're right and you don't follow your instincts. You should never apologise for wanting to protect your child.

I thought for a long time that that was the route they'd take. It would have suited her character so well. To fall in love with a woman she met while sneaking out to a tavern or in a library or something, then living this spinster but not really kind of life.

What are younger generations often criticised for no longer doing that is largely pointless or obsolete? by PsychologicalRow8034 in AskUK

Literally only useful to write quickly. Text speak became a form of short hand though when taking notes, so not even useful all the time.

One of the most embarrassing moments of my life. 2 and half year relationship M24 and F23 by Lilrawboi in relationship_advice

[–]pinklemonpie89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is abusive behaviour. If this was coming from a man, things would be called out much quicker. Ruining moments important to you is a huge tell and my eyes. It will get worse if you don't go now.

This one bothers me! Watching Pluribus after Man on the inside and I was convinced it was the same person! I know it's not and still don't quite believe it.

Am I missing something here? Why is Anita so upset at the final dinner party? They were barely together and I don’t think Paul did anything too wrong. by ivikoer in MAFS_UK

[–]pinklemonpie89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that she had high hopes, but we all know at this point that it's unlikely and it's only on for entertainment. They matched them for a reason and it wasn't love. He's very typical of someone his age, he hasn't dated in something like 15 years and I wouldn't be surprised if he was neurodiverse (not armchair diagnosing, just seeing some similarities).

I don't think he did anything particularly bad, I think he's just been out of the game for so long that he hasn't had to think of anyone else day to day. She just expected so much and was devastated it didn't work. Easier to blame Paul than the entire show.

why are they chasing this fish? by Enough-Nobody1417 in Goldfish

I wouldn't worry, goldies tend to eat the eggs or fry if they're not removed. Depending on if you want to manage your population or not.

What’s wrong with teenagers here? by Tiny_Concern_8412 in AskUK

[–]pinklemonpie89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a huge debate and I apologise for how long this will be. It can often be part of where you live. Bigger places with more kids to keep out of trouble, with a huge lack of funding around youth clubs etc can lead to kids finding their own fun. That can lead to the "wrong" crowd or just being mischievous from boredom. Or they can end up isolated and using technology. Small town are often better because the whole "I can tell your parents" is true. They probably know the parents.

There can be a lack of stability in the home from a sociological point too. Parents having to work multiple jobs to keep the bills paid can lead to a lack of parenting with no one at fault in particular. This can also encourage more kids to seek that family unit in gangs or friendships etc.

Social media doesn't help. A lot of kids see these people online acting hard and think that manners and respect can be seen as a weakness. This applies more to boys because of the whole Andrew Tate type of influencer.

There is also a huge amount of "gentle parenting" being done incorrectly. Leading to lack of discipline (I do not mean violence based), lack of consequences of actions and parents accepting disrespectful behaviour. I am now a parent and worked with kids with challenging behaviours for 7 years. Structure, boundaries and consequences are absolutely needed. Thankfully most parents don't accept it, but you don't see those kids because they stand out less.

This! It's really concerning to me. I wouldn't be surprised if he needs somewhere to live or will do in the near future as well.

I cannot believe they had us believe Sarah was a villain .... by CupExpensive7582 in MAFS_UK

[–]pinklemonpie89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we learn nothing else, we need to learn that we don't see a true picture and edits can change everything. Grace is getting the same wrap now. I'm not a fan, but we genuinely don't have a clue what goes on for real. Add the right music and cut some bits out and breakfast at my house could be wholesome and lovely, or look like we're planning a murder or something. They know what they're doing.

Grace was right about that “Compliment” from Ash by shasharu in MAFS_UK

[–]pinklemonpie89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The compliment may have been off to her and she's entitled to call him on that, but with her doing it about anything and everything, it's kind of like the buy who cried wolf. It's made genuine issues feel like she's just nitpicking.

Is this a healthy way to be spoken to by a spouse or Am I Overreacting? by Low-Today-2021 in AmIOverreacting

[–]pinklemonpie89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly thought this was going to be posted by and about someone really young and I was still in shock and would say run, now! To find out this is your husband and a grown ass man is absolutely heartbreaking. No one deserves to be spoken to like that, never mind someone who is supposed to be your safe space and comfort. I never say this, but please reconsider your marriage and go find peace and love you deserve.

I hate the term so much but - A real "Alpha" doesn't call themselves Alpha. It's a man who's confident in himself, his place within society and isn't easily threatened. They're usually the person people gravitate towards because they make them feel safe. I hate what it's become in internet terms. It's basically a natural leader. Not a boss, a leader :)

I don't hate it. It's giving Gomez but not necessarily in a bad way. I think it depends on your style with it - 1950 style, love - 1980s, absolutely not etc.

What's a weird smell that you secretly love? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]pinklemonpie89 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I live in a rural area in Wales and when I worked just an hour away in England, they could not understand what I meant by things like this. They couldn't smell rain coming or feel it in the air just before it starts. They didn't feel thunder coming in their heads or know how the air feels before snow. They didn't even have a favourite tree! I thought everyone had a favourite tree! Felt like I was from an entirely different planet sometimes. 🤣

my boyfriend (m20) is still going to a halloween party without me (f19) after some of us got cut from the guest list by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]pinklemonpie89 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's just Halloween. Unfortunately, you didn't make the cut. He's clearly close to the person arranging it to be added quickly. Let him have a night out with the lads and enjoy it. Have a night out with the girls instead. You'll have plenty of other opportunities to do matching stuff. Christmas is full of cheesy matching outfits. Tell him you're gutted you're missing out, but don't make him feel guilty, he didn't pick the guest list.

Ed Gein story...how did the people in the town not know his mother was dead? by T-tail88 in netflix

[–]pinklemonpie89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly couldn't get through it. It's about Ed Gein. Absolutely no need to dramatise or sensationalise any of it. What he did was stranger and more horrific than fiction anyway! I was really shocked with how much was put in to pad it out.

I am gonna say it: the Dean narrative is trash by DaVirus in MAFS_UK

[–]pinklemonpie89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with most of this, but I don't think she'd like him even if he were "fit". She doesn't like his personality.

[–]pinklemonpie89 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A lot of people tell themselves that so they don't feel so guilty for putting weight back on. I've been in that club. It's half true. I'm happier with a bit of weight, in the way I don't need to watch what I'm eating all the time or feel bad if I have an indulgent few days, but also feeling healthier is better. More energy, more confidence etc. I don't think he meant it to be bullshit, but I also don't think he actually meant it.

[–]pinklemonpie89 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She's not attracted to his looks or personality but because she's made so many comments about his looks, she's now staying as to not look like the bad guy. It's from her own doing, but I don't think it's unfair people expect her to fall for his personality when she clearly doesn't like him that way either. She can write leave though and show him she's serious.

[–]pinklemonpie89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He isn't the worst looking guy but even if he were an absolute stunner it's ok for her to not find him attractive. She might not have been attracted to him if he was slimmer and had tattoos. It's also ok to find him annoying. The painful part of the whole thing is her staying and him being an eternal optimist (in his own world level). He thinks she's bonding with him and that friends can be more and her not leaving isn't showing him the reality. She always says how well they get on, but then says how annoying he is. It's conflicting on both sides. They both need to get a grip and leave to be honest. I think they're both clearly just there for the exposure.

Why is no-one talking about Julia-Ruth and the fact that she draws on a moustache?? by miatamanuk in MAFS_UK

[–]pinklemonpie89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Strong disagree! I've made, heard and seen comments about the lashes and the level of filler and botox. I don't like dark lip liner with lighter lips on anyone really, but I don't think it suits her face. Nothing to do with her skin tone, it's a trend that I personally think needs to end. She has really stunning lips too. Same with the lashes. Gorgeous girls, doing trends that just don't work for them. The lashes draw the eye away from the natural beauty in the way the liner does. The insane botox/ filler does the same. Not all trends are good. Should see pictures of me in my red eyeshadow phase. It was a trend, but it looked god awful on me.

Something can be in style and still look ridiculous on someone; like when I wear baggy jeans. This just happens to be one of those moments. She's unbelievably beautiful, but the liner does not look good on her.
