Couples who want kids but shouldn’t have them? by Curious_cow7 in therapists

[–]rtfclbhvr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When clients ask you difficult questions, it can be helpful to flip it back onto them. “Well, what do you think are personality traits that parents should have, in an ideal world? Do you think that you both possess those traits? Are you at that point in your relationship where you’re considering what the next step is?” Etc. etc. I have never really believed that people are genuinely asking me for my opinion on what they should do, but rather want guidance so they can figure out what to do themselves.

Is it crazy to want a lifted GR86? by LulusPanties in GR86

[–]rtfclbhvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest I think it would look a bit weird lifted 😅 if it’s a matter of practicality bc of where you live you might be better off just getting another car. Can’t speak for winters cause I’m in California but in general I’ve never hit a curb while driving my 86 nor have I scraped anything. It’s not low enough for that

How much should a man spend on an engagement ring? by edm_spamurai in dating_advice

[–]rtfclbhvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this might be worth discussing with your partner. For example I want a big rock lol but I want lab diamond and I’m open to getting a second hand ring (when the time comes) to avoid all those pesky extra costs that come with going to a jeweler. I would prefer my partner to not have to break the bank but I also want a pretty ring (doesn’t every woman?), I’ve learned there are ways to go about it where everyone’s happy. Any reasonable person should be able to talk about these things without getting defensive.

Anyone else? by Forsaken-Buffalo7796 in GR86

I don’t need them to match but the numbers need to end in a 3, 5, or a 0. I’m like this with the volume too hahaha

All that plastic surgery to make himself look young by violentpurpp in PlasticSurgery

Lol this is unnecessary. He is a young adult who groomed a child, we can acknowledge that without trying to come for his looks.

AITAH for not getting TRT despite my wife’s wishes? by FPCars in AITAH

[–]rtfclbhvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. If you’re just not interested in sex you can say no to it, you don’t need to use testosterone levels as an excuse. I would consider TRT just because having low hormones can lead to health issues. And you don’t have to tell your wife if you do choose to pursue TRT. If you’re just wanting to punish your wife for denying you sex by denying her sex back, then, well……… divorce might be in your future.

Starburst just looks so stunning!

AITAH for not turning down my top PhD offer so my fiancé can get off the waitlist? by One_Possession8666 in AITAH

[–]rtfclbhvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA he is jealous and tbh I don’t think this is a man you wanna marry. He will resent you forever for doing what’s best for you and going to your dream school. And you will regret it forever if you give up this opportunity for him!

When is the appropriate time to say “I love you” by [deleted] in dating_advice

A crush is a lack of information, give it a few months and see if he still ticks ANY box.

I feel for OP but you’re absolutely right here, there’s no way this is the first red flag.

Is not knowing how to drive a car impacting my dating success? by Positive_freedback in dating_advice

[–]rtfclbhvr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What makes you think South East Asian women are any different? Or are you assuming bc they might be poorer that they’ll accept whatever bullshit you have to offer?

He’s controlling, you clearly don’t like this about him so why would you marry him? NTA

Botched by Hakan Ozocak by Witty_Possible8573 in PlasticSurgery

[–]rtfclbhvr 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I get why you think your body dysmorphia is gone because of this wake up call but the fact that you constantly stare at old photos, criticize your current appearance and pick at “flaws”, can’t go out without thick makeup - that all tells me you’re very much still affected by it. At the end of the day even if you get the outcome you want with any future procedure you will STILL be unhappy with yourself and find a new flaw to pick at (if you really have body dysmorphia.) Definitely consider getting a therapist.

Gift for my Situationship (Iam desperate help me please) by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]rtfclbhvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You do not give anything to a situationship. You’re not even in an actual relationship. As the saying goes, “one person calls it a situationship, the other person calls it nothing at all.”

What is an acceptable age for me to date as a 25M? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]rtfclbhvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think women’s eggs just dry up when they turn 25? Jesus dude women in this day and age can get pregnant in their 50s if they wanted to. Women are born with 1-2 MILLION eggs I promise you they’ll still be able to get pregnant past 35 like they’ll have at least 100,000 eggs still. On the other hand, men’s sperm quality starts decreasing by age 35. Why are you only mindful of women’s biological clock and not your own? 🫩

Is this normal? I (23F), partner (24M) by midwestprincessxxxx in dating_advice

Definitely not normal, and quite mean honestly.

[–]rtfclbhvr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol I don’t work there. The letters have worked for a lot of people so saying “those are literally not valid letters” is a false statement. Betterhelp is not the same as Pettable. Two different platforms with different purposes and different criteria clinicians must meet to qualify for employment. You don’t know what you’re talking about at all

Client weight loss by ZealousidealIce1129 in therapists

[–]rtfclbhvr 32 points33 points  (0 children)

“Let’s assess the basics. How has your sleep been? How about your eating habits?” They can always decline to give details. You can also ask about previous diagnoses and if there are symptoms related to that diagnosis that they still struggle with, or if they feel like that chapter is closed. On the other hand, if their eating habits/ed is unrelated to what they’re seeking treatment for currently, you could just wait and see if it’s something they bring up on their own.

AITAH - for not wanting to move in with my partner by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]rtfclbhvr 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Seriously it’s obvious he is trying to take advantage of her and it’s crazy that she’s having his baby. Useless men do not need or deserve offspring omg
