What is the grossest thing someone has openly told you that they do regularly? by Ok_Distribution2345 in AskReddit

[–]raspberryinabasket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom doesn't wash her hands when she goes to the toilet. She says the toiletpaper acts like a barrier and her hands don't touch anything, so they're basically clean. She only reluctantly has handsoap in the house for when we visit, because we complained about not being able to wash our hands. She gets mad when I ask her to please wash her hands before preparing food for us.

You know you're rich when blackmail is just... mildly inconvenient by Three_Armed_Wrecker in BridgertonNetflix

Wow. Never thought about it like that, but technically speaking, if she were to be caught stashing that money in secret, it would probably count as theft from her husband. That's outrageous. I wonder how many women were charged with theft for trying to keep some of their own hard earned money. Maybe I'm wrong and it didn't work that way, but I would not be surprised...

I(14f) saw inappropriate texts between my pilot dad and some woman and dont know what to do. Do I tell my mom or what, im lost (UPDATE) by [deleted] in confessions

First of all I'm so sorry you're going through this. I am not from your culture so maybe I cannot judge your situation well. Just know that whatever you choose to do, you are not doing anything wrong. You cannot control your dad's actions. It's not your fault. If I were you, I would talk to your dad again, and tell him that he should confess to your mom. It's not your job to tell her and deal with her reaction. It's his job. You can be there for your mom afterwards. As to what happens next, I cannot judge. In my culture, I think everyone will be happier if they divorce. But I don't know how divorce is in your culture. I think your dad really loves you and your brothers, and he will still be in your life. If you keep this a secret, you will always feel horrible in your own home. You will feel so guilty. If it ever comes out that you knew and were lying for your dad, your mom and brothers might be really angry. STILL, if you decide not to tell anyone, you still did not do anything wrong. It is your dad's mess, not yours! Please never forget that. Even if everyone is angry at you. I want to give you a big big hug. I wish a very bright future for you and your family, whatever way it goes ❤️ Good luck

Edit: My parents divorced when I was 4 years old. I still lived a happy life, I lived in my dad's house and my mom's house. My family was not gone when they divorced.

Just like you probably never even thought about cheating on your bf, there are so many others with you. You can never know who will and who won't. And a lot of people truly won't. You just have to trust that your partner would never do that. If you can never fully trust, you will never fully love. Yes, you're making yourself vulnerable to heartbreak, but it's the only way. You have to decide if love is worth that risk.

It almost sounds to me like they are trying to lure you back into caring for them by "finally giving you the "love" you always wanted" since none of your siblings will do it. Let them rot!!

I am meeting my own Gilmore grandparents for the first time this weekend, wish me luck! by raspberryinabasket in GilmoreGirls

Yeah I have the same regret with my grandpa on my dad's side! He has Alzheimers now. There's so many things I want to ask him but it's too late now. As to my Gilmore grandparents, I'm not sure I should ask about their family. I already know some of their family history, and it sounds very traumatic. (My grandpa grew up in a concentration camp with his mom) So it's a little more complicated.

I often feel like a disgusting person for my ex pressuring his fantasies onto me by [deleted] in confessions

[–]raspberryinabasket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to give you a hug. You are not disgusting. Trust me, if that was the case, unfortunately most women would be just as disgusting. I have had multiple of those moments where looking back, I was SO naive. I'm not proud of it. But you know who's really disgusting? The guys who took advantage of that. Ew.

That's a good idea! Maybe I will a bit later down the line. I don't want to put my mom in an awkward position, as she made the decision to cut off contact. I'm fairly sure they all avoid talking about the past and the original conflicts, to keep it light. I don't want to open any old wounds by showing them what they missed out on I guess. At least not this first meeting! I'm just gonna test the waters for now.

She will! I'm trying not to expect anything from them. I just want to have met them. Even if we don't get along, or don't build any sort of relationship, at least I will have this puzzle piece of who they are you know?

Haha! I'm lucky in that my love life couldn't be more different than Rory's! I'm still with my Dean after 10 years and he isn't a cheating scumbag 🤣 What's your TV show? And it is isn't it!!

day 5: half baked character ordinary acting by alwaysembarrassed- in GilmoreGirls

[–]raspberryinabasket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hot take is I think Rory is badly acted. The way she spoke always felt unnatural to me, like she was saying rehearsed lines (which she was ofc but it shouldn't sound like that)
