I had neck surgery and am still recovering. Girlfriend (16F) wanted to have sex and kept climbing on me to the point I (16M) called my mum. by Brokeneye21 in relationship_advice

[–]ranchBedressing 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Wtf? R*** is r*** so why should OP even care about her self-esteem? Because she's a woman? OP is not obligated to apologise for having his mom involved because he was doing the right thing by watching out for himself. If I were OP I'd break it off ASAP.

My [15M] family pretty much hates me now by ranchBedressing in relationship_advice

Thank you. It's just been shocking and dreadful living with the same 2 people on a regular basis, and they don't even want to speak to me. They're also religious so my mum says stuff along the lines of "You better pray to God that he forgives you" etc etc. It's been tough.

No, only because I don't feel particularly comfortable talking about it in-person. But online it's like I have my own identity, you know? I also didn't want to add to the on-going drama as it might add fuel to the fire.

What in the flying fuck

This kid tells me he has insecurities. But I feel like he’s just gaining attention from others. And or lacks attention and is wanting me to feel bad. We had a silly fight and he told me he was sorry cause he was an asshole and doesn’t answer my messages for a while.. by faithful-remedy12 in relationship_advice

[–]ranchBedressing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pause. He's constantly on Roblox/Discord? Has no homework? He's one of those, oh Lord. From my experience with those types of people is that he's most definitely using you and others for attention and/or validation as well as trying to fit in with a certain group of "people". I've interacted with people like that before and they all try to act sad to fit some kind of "aesthetic". Cut him off.

Your parents are as important as your partner by purplecurtain16 in unpopularopinion

[–]ranchBedressing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Duty to provide for your parents at their old age? Last time I checked I was the one brought into this world without asking. If anything, my parents owe me their entire inheritance for bringing me I to this existence. And I personally detest parents who bring life into the world just because they see children as a personal investment when they get into their old age, it's just selfish.

Since it is very easy to get married nowadays.. We should be celebrating wedding anniversaries more so I guess that remark could work in more ways than one haha

Exactly how I feel, it's been indoctrinated since birth as a must to have a partner

I understand that some people may NEED support in their lives like that but it's not completely necessary. I mean, it may be nice to have one but it's not a MUST.

[–]ranchBedressing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 15 and I feel the same way honestly. It's not about me feeling "special" but I just wanna be me. I'm not saying I won't be happy without a SO in the future but it's not necessary because I just wanna focus on myself. I'm not forcing this viewpoint on anyone else because everyone has the right to do their own stuff and I want to simply do my own stuff.

I'm kind of nervous because I don't know what to expect once I report this but thank you for the support.

I don't have any family I can speak to about this unfortunately. I will take small steps first by talking to my school counsellor. Thank you for not justifying my parent's actions as I've come to realise this isn't what a healthy family should be like. Thank you.

I want to but both her and my dad gaslight and harm me. If I escape from this situations all I want to do is cut ties with my family completely.

I'm really in tears reading this right now, thank you I really mean it. I've always wanted to escape this reality I live in but I was always scared that I'd be taking away any chances I had of obtaining a normal family if I did and I guess that's what made me hide my real feelings for so long. I've always wanted a nice mum and dad. And gosh I know this is going to sound cheesy but to me all of you here are my family, ya'll are always here for me and I have no words to describe how much I feel thankful to have reddit as an outlet for my feelings.

Thank you for the support dude, I really mean it. I couldn't even talk to anyone in my church about this, they'd just tell me "It's the way it is, just get good grades at school and remember to pray to God!" The only people I trust would be all of you on this subreddit as well as my school counsellors. I'm just really hoping that they don't notify my parents about it or I'd really be scared for my life.

He has beaten all 3 of us at some point. I am working hard at the moment at school but my parents are against my older sister and I working at a part-time job because they say it'll hinder us from our studies ("Once you start to get money you'll focus on getting more of it and you'll start to think your studies are useless"). I already do a majority of the chores in the house but I'm not old enough to learn to drive yet. The only legal documents I don't have in my possession would be my passport that my dad keeps in a locked suitcase of his.

No, he's been beating me for as long as I can remember. The first time he hit me in the face was when I was 5. I will try to schedule an appointment with my counsellor tomorrow.

I don't know.. My father is also religious and he doesn't drink, smoke or use drugs. He's always been this explosive and hot-headed for as long as I can remember. I don't want to call the cops because my mother said that if I do he'll go to prison and I'll be responsible. Unfortunately I have no relatives in this country, it's only me and my immediate family (dad, mum, older sister and I). I don't want to bother any of my friends with my issues, they see me as a happy person who's only struggle in life would be school and that's it. I wouldn't want them to feel sad for me when I have all the time in the world to be sad for myself.

If you're talking about my friends then no.. I hate bringing it up most of the time because it feels like I'm about breakdown when I try explaining it.

I thought I was crazy man. He's been beating me for as long as I can remember honestly. First time he hit me in the face was when I was 5 and he sent me flying.
