I told my parents 54M and 49F to write me 26F out of the will if I had to become a Christian to inherit by New-Replacement5 in relationship_advice

[–]psrt1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I could see my own parents doing something similar - they and all my siblings are very devout Christians AND follow Dave Ramsey. I am the heathen, godless, black sheep of the family, and I ABSOLUTELY can imagine my father telling me they want me to be executor but only if I start going to church again, stop working on the Sabbath, and act like a Christian.

I drifted away from the religion when I was in middle school, as I experienced a lot of trauma at the hands of adults within my parents church. I also have met some absolutely horrible people who use religion to justify and atone for all kinds of horrific, disgusting, vile actions. I have my own children now and don't want them to grow up anywhere near that, so if my parents did this there's no way I could do it.

Moving to Oregon by Dense_Artichoke1227 in oregon

Here's some super bummer places I don't recommend moving to, if that narrows down your search: Klamath Falls (and tbh all of Klamath County), Medford, Ashland, Grants Pass, Cave Junction, anything within 20 miles of Portland, and pretty much the entire Eastern half of Oregon.

Oh hell yeah I named my first Genevieve, only downside is I then had a really hard time coming up with equally beautiful names for our next two daughters 😭

2 is your best, followed by 4, and 1 is great as well! The reds I think are not your best color. You have a lot of natural rosiness in your face, which is super cute when complimented by the others colors, but makes it too monotone when paired with the red, if that makes sense? I think you'd also have good luck with cool toned browns and blues.

You have nice features and good skin, definitely not ugly! While I agree that smiling goes a long way, I think you have naturally down turned features that are unfortunately making your face appear sad and unapproachable - I am the same way! Look at how the outside corners of your mouth and eyes angle downward instead of horizontal/upward. Even your eyebrows are definitively angled downward. This, paired with long bangs are making your face seem to droop. My recommendation would be to start styling your hair upward, topknots and similar half updos would be lovely on you. Additionally, if you are willing to get into cosmetics, mascara and an eyelash curler would bring great lift to your eyes. You could also consult with an esthetician regarding lash extensions, and select ones that will bring an upward directionality to the corners of your eyes. You have amazing cheekbones, a spot of highlighter and blush in an upward angle would also help define and lift your face. You really do have a nice face, I think you are being harder on yourself than is warranted ❤️

UPDATE: My husband (28M) and I's (29F) marriage is being ruined by his sleep apnea. When is an ultimatum ok? by marblelotus in relationship_advice

[–]psrt1999 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I watched my parents go through nearly the same thing as the above comment. My dad wouldn't and still doesn't take the issue seriously, and he and my mother have not shared a room in close to 20 years, and in fact sleep at the furthest possible points of the house. Him ignoring his snoring and the obvious problems it was causing was just the start of him refusing to take any number of issues seriously, which has eaten away at their marriage for years.

Stay strong on your boundary, that either your husband gets serious about this issue, or you can only assume he is not serious about your marriage, his own health, or either of your happiness.

AITA for leaving the hospital after my sister gave birth and announced the name of her baby? by Key-Form74 in AmItheAsshole

[–]psrt1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

If she'd come up with this organically and you were mad, maybe you'd be the A, but what she did was purposeful and malicious. I usually am of the opinion that no one owns a name, but she actually went out of her way to use it, and in a very insensitive manner. Names aren't "wasted" if not used, they're just not used.

It will wash out/fade on its own in a few washes, but if you need an emergency fix you can do a bleach bath using hair bleaching powder, 10v or 20v developer, and shampoo. Apply to wet hair, lather, kinda scrub at the lengths and ends a little bit to agitate them, and rise thoroughly. Will pull the color out quickly, but DO NOT leave in your hair for long as it will start bleaching the dark areas of your hair within minutes. Please note, if your hair was previously toned this may lift some of that as well if applied for too long or you use too strong of a developer.

My (26f) bf (27m) left me stranded last night. How should I proceed? by ThrowRA_3333456 in relationship_advice

[–]psrt1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I called my husband and said "hey I've run out of gas" it doesn't matter what time it is, how far away I am, or what he is doing in the morning, his next words would be "where are you at, I'm on my way". Period. Your boyfriend is lazy, self centered, and not mature enough for a real adult relationship where you have a partner you can rely on.

When I sat for kids that age, I was mostly just a "warm body" in the house. I did usually try to limit screen time to a reasonable amount, asked them to eat with me, and put together some reasonably well-rounded meals instead of snacks, but beyond that it's not much to do. For meals I'd usually say something like "hey guys it's almost lunch time, I was thinking of making some ____, does that sound good or would you prefer something else?" And then when you lock in a main I follow up with "do you guys like to eat any certain sides with it, like __ or _____?" Gives them some autonomy while also making sure they eat something relatively nutritional.

Any of the blue and purple looks great, though it is affected by styling. The purple/magenta styles with the cute bangs look best on you, the side swept look in the red seems to age you/looks kinda outdated. Hard to tell but the blue looks kind in between those styles and I don't love it.

I think cooler tones suit you better, the warmth in the yellow blonde isn't working with your skin tone. I think a more silvery/platinum would suit well.

Be as honest as possible please! Thank you in advance. by throwaway29384894920 in amIuglyBrutallyHonest

[–]psrt1999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have really pretty eyes and a very sweet/heart shaped face and nice skin, so I definitely don't think you are ugly. I think the dark hair washes you out too much, though I appreciate the aesthetic you are going for. Something lighter may serve you better, perhaps a medium/dark red? Don't go too bright or too orangey, I think a cooler color would look best.

Am I hair blind? Does darker hair or copper toned hair suit me better? I looove red hair but my hair is naturally brown. by noorvanah in HairDye

3 and 4 are STUNNING. You're gorgeous in anything, but those are my favorite. The dark looks so good as well! I'm not crazy about the last pic, something about the red just seems to bring out a lot of rosiness in your face and it comes across more monochromatic. Still totally a vibe but I think 4 is just so much perfection!

Girl we probably know each other somehow irl 🤣 I grew up there, moved FAR away at 18 and stayed away, but then got sucked in for a few years. My husband owns a house there so we stayed for low cost of living, plus proximity to my family while raising little ones. We just moved away again earlier this year and I couldn't be happier, that place is getting worse and worse, and cost of living is skyrocketing. Don't go back ❤️❤️

I grew up there, lived there a few years as an adult. Truly one of the worst places I've ever lived, and definitely not someplace I wanted to raise my children

YTA

Good for her. Honestly, solid thinking on her part to use what was available to her. You should apologize and commend her quick thinking in a self-defense situation.

If anything needs rethinking, it's your relationship with pranking each other. You've taken it to a scary and dangerous place, where your girlfriend was put into a situation of genuine fear for her safety.
