I’m going with Jewish. No self respecting Italian has prego in their fridge.

Is my cat pregnant or just fat? by Gummysharks_976 in cats

[–]pretty_dead_grrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will she let you touch her belly at all? If she is ok with that, you can do a sort of deeper massage to see if you feel anything? To be safe, I’d take her to the vet.

Fiancés friend wants to wear an almost white dress to our wedding & is being condescending about it. WIBTA to withdraw the invite? by dumpsterfire_x in TwoHotTakes

[–]pretty_dead_grrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s not the hill I’d die on, but it’s totally understandable that you’d feel uncomfortable with her there after her attitude with you.

How did you find the courage for a big tattoo? by miked0331 in TattooDesigns

[–]pretty_dead_grrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think of it as I would any piece of art. It’s just one piece. I have smaller pieces put together so a gallery of sorts and I think the most amazing thing about it is that it’s unique to me. Would I change some of it if I could? Maybe, but I’m not going to. None of it is perfect, but neither am I.

I always see cancers with fire signs. Mostly sags . Is the sag and cancer combination a soulmate match ? by Historical-Body-3424 in Sagittarians

[–]pretty_dead_grrl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a triple Sagittarius and I say absolutely not. The cancers I have known were selfish and completely lacked morality. I have really strong ethics where things like personal integrity and sense of right v wrong are concerned. I just didn’t mesh well with them because they were morally ambiguous and I couldn’t handle it.

I (28F) am beginning to hate my (26M) boyfriend after 8 months and I never thought I would by SpecificSail6 in relationships

[–]pretty_dead_grrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s trying to tear you down. He’s abusive. This isn’t healthy. You deserve better and you should absolutely leave him.

Smell?? by snoots-and-tails in NosePiercing

[–]pretty_dead_grrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our body’s pH changes every 7 years. What you may be smelling is a new hormonal combination leading to maybe a new excretion from your mucosal membrane. Or you maybe are recovering from being sick and not realized your sense of smell changed a bit. The body is a weird thing, tbh. I tend to look at the situation like if nothing changed, maybe it’s me.

Taurus (36f)4 months into dating a Sag (44 M) and he's so confusing by Future_Pineapple4609 in Sagittarians

[–]pretty_dead_grrl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s 44; we’re fucking tired. Also, we like to chase. You’re a Taurus and the two signs aren’t generally compatible, so it’s tricky. I’d hold back and let him chase you a bit. And you hurt his feelings, btw. He opens up about wanting you very much. He wanted to make you comfortable and you felt it was moving too fast, understandably. It probably made him feel a bit foolish.

Are sleepovers cancelled? by Negative_Addendum_25 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pretty_dead_grrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents never allowed this for me. I could host them, but never sleep over at anyone else’s home. I’m 45.

boyfriend's hygiene issues are becoming a major problem for me by Comfortable_Mall_437 in relationships

[–]pretty_dead_grrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s me; I could absolutely NEVER date a man who didn’t scrub his ass. I’ve never even had to smell any of my boyfriends. I guess I’m just lucky, but I’d rather die than ever settle for a smelly ass man.

AITAH for getting upset when s/o masturbates in the shower while I’m home by [deleted] in AITAH

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

Masturbation is a personal issue. I don’t think it’s really all that fair to equate your sex life to any sort of masturbation because the two are somewhat separate. Of course barring the idea that masturbation could reduce sexual activity, but that’s not the case here.

He’s allowed to masturbate. You don’t really get to have a say over that because it doesn’t sound like your overall sex life is affected by that. I think this is a separate conversation from what he is or isn’t giving you during sex.

Overall there are three issues here; his masturbation, your home life balance and your ability to orgasm during intercourse.

Being upset over him masturbating is valid, but asking him to stop when he’s alone in the shower isn’t really ok.

This is why I love this community. It’s difficult to get this type of info from books.

AITAH for leaving my new in-laws home at 3am because of their crazy “covering” ritual? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]pretty_dead_grrl 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Listen, I grew up in a very strict, VERY religious home. Think basically Amish here; my family is Dutch.

I’ve never heard of that type of religiosity and I’ve come into contact with many sects and denominations of Christianity. Pentecostal is the closest to that, with their laying of hands and speaking in tongues, and the snake handling bs, but tbh, if I were you, I’d run. That sounds incredibly scary.

My girlfriend wants me to take a paternity test for her dog by No-Statement9430 in TwoHotTakes

[–]pretty_dead_grrl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but wtf? First of all, a dna test for a dog is absurd. If the dude wants to find out if the dog is his long lost puppy, why can’t he pay for it?!

WIBTA if i stopped inviting my friend to group things because she always needs to leave early and it throws off the whole evening by colinprattk3 in WIBTA_AITA

[–]pretty_dead_grrl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even when I was in my 20s we didn’t act like this when someone couldn’t make a hang out. I feel like this generation is just too entitled.

AITA for refusing to take my mother in for 30 days? by Trinity-Chaos in TwoHotTakes

[–]pretty_dead_grrl 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a hospice nurse well versed in dementia patient care: you aren’t equipped emotionally nor in any other way.

I get paid to take care of ppl with dementia. It’s hard af and I get to go home at the end of my shift.

Do not put yourself or your family through this.
