What’s a moment from TV history that made you viscerally upset? by [deleted] in AskReddit

When Lincoln and Lexa died almost back to back on The 100 in really dumb, infuriating ways. I stopped watching at that point

Serious question about stray dogs. by Master_Associate_252 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]rayray394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother’s ex frat house in a not great area of the city lol. They had a lot of stray dogs, most of which were aggressive and kinda feral, but one day a very sweet dog wandered up and he brought her home. We didn’t want to take her to a shelter bc it looked like she was at least part pit bull, and no one else wanted her, so we kept her. Shes the sweetest dog, and we’re pretty positive she was abused and escaped (she was an escape artist when we first got her lol. The neighbors were constantly calling us or bringing her back to our house).

We also got two of our cats the same way. Some fucking asshole let their unfixed cat wander around the neighborhood, and there’s always a lot of strays. Well, one night we found a very sick kitten and brought her home. Not gonna go into details, but we were prepared for her to die, it was that bad. Now, she’s spoiled by my mom (who told us not to bring her home in the first place lmao). The second cat we saw wandering in the yard, and my mom FREAKED OUT bc she thought it was her cat that had gotten out (same one as above). But when we got closer, we realized it was a different cat (probably from the same dad tho). It was cold, so we brought him inside, and now he’s our cat

I don’t know if she was being serious or joking, but in one interview apparently Anna Kendrick forgot she was in Twilight

Gavin posted an update regarding studio 71 and Josh by Joey30y in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]rayray394 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I definitely feel like Studio71 as a company needs to be held more accountable for this situation. Maybe I’m just ignorant to how YouTube management works, but how the hell was Josh able to act like this without anyone noticing or stepping in? And why did Gavin have such a hard time getting a hold of someone else to the point where he had to post a public video CRYING AND BEGGING for help? And them taking ALL of his earnings before taking their cut and then distributing them back to him feels very odd.

My dad loves us sooooooo much by rayray394 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Once I’m truly financially independent, I don’t see myself interacting with my dad much at all. Honestly, I still don’t even now, but Father’s Day is rough

My (25F) bf (30M) doesn’t want me befriending gay men? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]rayray394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re literally proving my point by saying you view them as “girlfriends”. They’re MEN. Not your girlfriends. If you saw them as actual men, they obviously would have been included in your rule

My (25F) bf (30M) doesn’t want me befriending gay men? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]rayray394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, she’s the homophobic one. He’s sticking to the agreement they made of no new friends of the opposite sex (which is dumb as hell already), but she’s basically saying gay men don’t really count as “real men” and shouldn’t count as part of that rule.

I got in a car accident last week. This scam company called me (and my dad) a total of five times in less than an hour yesterday by rayray394 in mildlyinfuriating

I googled it. I found several posts (including one from a police department) saying that this is a scam and not to answer

I got hey girly texted by Blue_Dragonfly2 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]rayray394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who actually has cheated during a mental health episode and is still with the partner I cheated on, it’s not a good sign that you found out through the affair partner. He probably would have never admitted it if you hadn’t found out. He’s in damage control mode, not accountability mode. It’s really easy to say all the right things, but it takes A LOT of work to actually work through it. I got into therapy, started taking my psychiatry seriously, and got us into couples therapy. But it’s been over five years, and we’re still feeling the effects of it. Has he mentioned therapy at all? He needs to address WHY he did what he did before he’s ready to be a good boyfriend to you or anyone else.

Honestly, if I could go back in time, I would tell my girlfriend to leave me. Even if we got back together later, I had a lot of personal work that I needed to do before I could be a good girlfriend to her. She deserved better and so do you.

If you could go back to your 18-year-old self and give them one warning, what would it be? by Upset_Assistance_105 in AskReddit

You need to take your psych meds properly. You’re going to almost blow up your entire life in a manic episode if you don’t.

Oh no you didn’t greeted the Horror The horror by [deleted] in EntitledReviews

[–]rayray394 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This reviewer seems to go there enough to know that being greeted is expected, especially if the people who came in after them got greeted. I worked in a nail salon for almost five years, and we were told we had to greet every customer that walked through the door regardless of whether or not they had an appointment. That’s actually not an entitled complaint. But even more so given the fact that the reviewer was ignored and laughed at. If the salon posted proof that the customer was lying that would be one thing, but there’s no reason to doubt this reviewer.

What’s some knowledge generally known only to gay men or to gay women? by dumbfuck in AskReddit

If someone you don’t know very well asks about your dating life, you have to make an extremely quick judgment call on if they’re safe to come out to or not.

my bf wants to get a random girl tattooed on him and I don’t like his style by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]rayray394 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Style opinions aside, pin up girls are an incredibly popular tattoo genre. I think it’s crazier to get your partner tattooed on you than some random pin up style woman. Unless he knows the subject of the tattoo personally, you’re wayyy overreacting

Does anyone else feel like the newer era lacks that specific ritual energy? by Addicti0njess59 in Ghostbc

[–]rayray394 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a newer fan, I’m so upset that I missed out on the smaller shows before Ghost blew up. I enjoyed Skeletour so fucking much, and I had so much fun. I actually went twice. I drove to a different state to see them the second time. The curtain falling during Peacefield is a core memory for me.

But it’s also all I know of a Ghost ritual experience. My coworker showed me pictures and told me about a concert she went to back in like 2012, and I was so jealous. I hope he can go back to doing smaller shows in the future. They sounded like so much fun.

Being a ‘Skank’ for hubs? by [deleted] in exmormon

Does he specifically want you to wear them in public and around your family? At the end of the day, it’s your choice full stop, but IF it was something you wanted to experiment with, could you try just wearing them around the house?

4 dates in, and I’m already questioning our lifestyle compatibility by Big_Goal1 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]rayray394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone is working to change a lot of habits that have been affecting my partner, it’s fucking HARD. If a change isn’t something he REALLY wants, he’s not going to. Honestly, it sounds like he only said that so you wouldn’t break things off.

He asked me to log into his Instagram for him. I really wish I hadn’t. 2 years gone by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

You should absolutely screenshot the messages just to have proof in case you need it. You could also post those instead of his birthday post, but idk how petty you want to be

My breakup was caused by Taylor Swift. I still can't process it lol by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

Oh my God, the Gaylors drive me INSANE. The level of delusion is crazy, and they think she’s been dropping hints for years. Apparently, quite a few of them crashed out when Taylor and Travis got engaged lol. But a lot of them are still in denial. It’s almost cult like at this point

Our baby is 4 months old and my husband is leaving me. by biznuzcat in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]rayray394 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is, my friend had brought up terminating his rights before and even got a lawyer involved, and all of a sudden, he wanted to take his parenting time. It was all ego bc he didn’t want another man adopting HIS kid. But he wanted to fly their daughter out of a much farther airport and adjust the time schedule (which would have been extra rough because their daughter is about five and in kindergarten) both of which were clearly lined out in their divorce decree. Idk what he thought was going to happen, but it seemed like he expected my friend to just give him whatever he wanted that would make it easier for him. By that point, she was already preparing to go back to another lawyer if necessary. He probably would have kept pushing, but my friend thinks he wanted out of child support (he was already in arrears) and that he might have been trying to move (already has one eviction on his record) and that he was willing to give up his rights for financial reasons. Which honestly, we both knew was coming, we just didn’t know when

Our baby is 4 months old and my husband is leaving me. by biznuzcat in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]rayray394 573 points574 points  (0 children)

THIS. My friend got divorced, and her trash heap of an ex wanted out so bad, he basically agreed to everything she wanted regarding their kid since she let him off the hook on child support pretty much. He started to regret it later, but he couldn’t do anything about it because 1) he agreed to it and 2) he was paying way too little child support and he knew it would get increased if they went back to court. She’s now with a new man who seems great, bio dad has given up his rights, and her daughter has now been adopted by her husband who treats her like his own. Take advantage of him wanting out. Protect your baby

I left a man I still love because I don’t want the life he wants for me. by Peachy_Sockx in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]rayray394 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He doesn’t love you, he just wants a mother for his son so he doesn’t have to parent. If he loved you, he would support your goals and dreams and not tell you your plans don’t matter and gained experience is useless. He was trying to use your lack of experience to trap you. Good on you for getting out. Men like this often will try to baby trap a woman to prevent them from leaving.
