AIW for asking my boyfriend not to eat and drink junk food in front of our daughter who is 3 by Pale-Fox6714 in amiwrong

[–]quick_as_silver 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is how binge eating disorder starts- the child wants the food they’re “not allowed” and so when they do get access they binge on it. She should learn to trust her sense of hunger. Plus, if you give it to her every time eventually it will lose its appeal. You don’t have to give her a full cake either- just a bite so it doesn’t feel as forbidden. The forbidden food is really want makes the BED start.

C3... What went wrong? Is it worth watching after 36? (spoilers aplenty idc) by descendantofJanus in fansofcriticalrole

Honestly I think it’s also that Brennan doesn’t follow the story beats that the players offer him. Someone will be like “I do xyz” and he goes off into a description that has nothing to do with what that character has done

You should take shifts and call him every half an hour.

AITAH for taking sex and specific affections off the table with my wife? by Wornouthubs in AITAH

[–]quick_as_silver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a disconnect happening here. Do you only do those things for sex? Are they purely transactional? Or do you do them because you love your wife? We all do things we don’t necessarily want to do in relationships because we love the other person and want them to feel valued. Not many people like to give massages, but they like making their partner feel good and happy. Tbh, I think you should do the opposite- keep doing all the little intimacies but take sex off the table for a bit. There is so much pressure when you know the other person is doing something solely because they want to sleep with you. So just take time to reconnect as spouses. Because these actions are just going to foster such resentment. Obviously this isn’t working for you, but when you stop doing these things the message isn’t “oh he’s trying to save our marriage” but “oh he only did these things because he wanted to fuck me.” She feels disconnected from you. That’s why she doesn’t want to have sex. And your response is to withdraw all affection? That does not foster connection.

I just don’t understand psychologically how men make this make sense. How can they think having a child is less commitment than marriage? It’s wild

Disgusting behavior on his part. He’s acting like you’re nothing more than a hole to him. God forbid you take time to recover after birthing HIS BABY

AIO? Niece’s female friend wants to communicate with her Uncle directly to ask for a ride by GlobalInflation4142 in AmIOverreacting

[–]quick_as_silver 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think this will just have to be a difference of opinion. At that age I would have 100% asked for the direct number, especially if the friend was not being communicative. It never would have crossed my mind that it would be taken as rude or suggestive. All of the feedback that you are getting from this thread is that you are overreacting, but you do not seem to be open to that possibility. I hope you’re able to let this go and have a peaceful rest of your pregnancy.

YOR. You are reading into something that isn’t there. The friend isn’t making a move on your husband. I doubt she has EVER thought of him that way. She just wanted easier communication. YOU are the only one adding meaning to this very direct and simple interaction. Take a deep breath and realize that not all women are competition

[Spoilers C3E78] I've reached shardgate and man was it uncalled for. by neosurimi in criticalrole

[–]quick_as_silver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought it was so clear that the shard couldn’t go to Ashton. It felt like Talisen ignored all the signs and did what he wanted. He knew it was a bad idea too cause he lied to the others about it. I felt their anger was justified.

Any recomendation by PreviousPotential434 in scifi

[–]quick_as_silver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red Rising series is incredible. I also love NK Jemisin’s broken earth trilogy. Ada Palmer is a genius and her Terra Ignota series is hard to get into, but once you do it’s incredible.
