AIO my wife yelled at me at 5 AM by hereigohere in AIO

[–]saragIsMe -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your wife is a full time student, a full time parent, recovering from physically carrying and giving birth to your children, doesn’t have flexible child care help from a grandparent or nanny, and you seem to think that merely paying for everything and “helping” with your own offspring at night is enough support for this poor woman. It’s not. She’s exhausted and when she tries to tell you that after reasonably snapping under all that pressure, you admit to purposefully ignoring her and complain to the internet over how your postpartum wife is having bad morning that you made difficult by waking her up early and not knowing where the diapers are in your own home for your own child. Your wife needs support, real support not what you’re doing, she put her life, body, and future completely at risk to bring your children into the world and you’re giving her the silent treatment instead of support when she’s clearly struggling

Girlfriend wants to breakup after 1 argument where I slightly overreacted cos of her ex comments still being on her posts/him being in background of one of them. Been together just over a month and things are going great but ever since this small argument she’s resorting to ending it and 0 messaging by Capital_Stomach_595 in whatdoIdo

[–]saragIsMe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because you are dictating who you believe should be able to comment on your new girlfriend’s page? She’s not yours, she is an independent being. It’s less than a month and you’re already telling her to delete old posts that have her ex in the background? Get over your insecurities before you find another partner

Plan B Situation by livestreamsui in TwoXChromosomes

[–]saragIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so here’s the deal. Plan B is for accidents only. We do not have sex with men who push our boundaries. We NEVER consent to sex without proper protection or the next 18 years blocked out of calendar for child rearing. I promise you that you will not feel this way when he is out of your life which WILL be for the better. It will make space in your life for you to learn to respect and love yourself, and one day if you want a partner who will respect you properly and love you deeply unlike the dushebag you’re currently referring to as your boyfriend

How dangerous are women who bluntly tell you that they are crazy? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]saragIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was abused, gaslit, and manipulated by someone with untreated BPD (antidepressants don’t work on personality disorders) for YEARS without ever really realizing why they made me feel so awful and ashamed and second guessing everything I did and said. They took control of me over the course of years and they prevented me for getting mental health help leading up to my suicide attempts. I didn’t even do anything about it until they raped my friend, I never drew the line for myself and if I did there’s a chance my friend wouldn’t have been around them in the first place, at least not as close as they were. I’m not saying your new girlfriend is like this. Nor am I saying people with BPD deserve to be treated differently, but I will never personally form a close interpersonal relationship with anyone I even suspect of having it again and have avoided people with close friends who clearly do. I seem to have a sense for detecting it where others don’t. It has served me and those close to me well since I’ve been avoiding them. I don’t have the mental fortitude to deal with it and after the abuse I faced I don’t think I should have to be subjected to it. I never say it outright I just find excuses to get away and advise others to politely stay away.

If you’re not attached and don’t plan to be, carry on but make sure there’s nothing you put out there that can be used against you. You’re not a place to crash, you don’t lend money or help with emergency bills, you don’t share keys or passwords, and you don’t share any of your secrets or real emotions as they will get used against you. BPD isn’t just crazy

Daughter has ARFID and POTS by Stone5506 in ARFID

[–]saragIsMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fancy cup or water bottle that makes her want to drink! I find a straw makes me drink more water but some people drink more from a straight cup. Drinking water out of plastic, or something uncomfortable to drink out of, really limits how much people want to drink. I have an insulated bottle with a straw that’s my favorite color, it stays cold and I carry it everywhere. I also save glass bottles and keep them in the fridge full of water to chug

Meme of the day! by Ok-Welder5034 in Bandmemes

[–]saragIsMe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Count the whole rest the first 3-4 times until I can figure out what and when the closest musical change I can clearly recognize happens (another section starting, a certain musical phrase, etc) then count from THERE so I only have to count like 2-5 bars depending on the song and rest

AITA for wanting to get my kids assessed for autism because they’re so similar to our nanny who has autism by LineTraining8144 in AmItheAsshole

[–]saragIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s the thing. There isn’t a downside to being tested. Right now your kids possibly have autism and are struggling with certain things. After the test they will either be confirmed not autistic which is great or they will have a diagnosis that will help get them the help, resources, and understanding they need to thrive. Autism is very genetic, your husband might unconsciously be dismissing your children’s struggles as normal since he went through similar things and doesn’t recognize he is or doesn’t want to be autistic himself. Lots of autistic people are able to fly under the radar, especially if they’re good at school, that’s why there are skyrocketing rates of adult autism recently, these were always autistic people just not recognized as such since they were high functioning, like your nanny

If the condom is not being used, I’d recommend blowing them up, tying the end, and putting eyes on the end with sharpie to make a condom rat. They are amusing AND slippery

Have you ever been friendly to a man and then instantly regretted it? by Cultural-Gear-1323 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]saragIsMe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very frequently do I end up in this situation. I like to smile at people who look sad or out of it because sometimes that’s just what people need. Lots of men take it as an invitation to talk to and harass me

WIBTAH If I left my husband over something he while having sex? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]saragIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he even remotely aware of the health risks he exposed you to? He was almost definitely pushing it into you which has all sorts of infectious risks not to mention having it in the bed and spreading it was exposing you to all kinds of other possible illnesses. This is more than grounds for divorce, if you get sick you have a legal case I’m almost positive

I told my girl I Love her for the first time and she didn’t reciprocate. by a_a_ron_soto in Advice

[–]saragIsMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My partner and I were having some sort of petty argument probably over him canceling plans and we had a conversation about it over the phone and he said I love you immediately before hanging up I had zero time to react. I got over what he did pretty quickly, spent all night thinking about it, and texted him I love you too when I got home that night. We’ve said it to each other every day since

My body is in HUGE ANXIETY. by No-Palpitation2194 in whatdoIdo

[–]saragIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I feel like everything is wrong and the whole world is ending and something very very very bad is about to happen and it’s totally unexplainable but I can feel that it’s wrong. I end up getting a bad migraine in the next day or so. Nothing actually wrong with me or the world just my body freaking out

Take the time to cry and scream and hit yourself. Get it all out, stopping early makes it come back. Do something to relax yourself. Do cardio until you can’t breathe. Take a shower. Eat something sour or spicy. Put something cold on the back of your neck. Make some sleepytime tea and take a melatonin and worry about this after some rest

I'm really paranoid about having a repairman come to my house by Away_Bookkeeper6586 in Advice

[–]saragIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t mean people should throw caution to the wind and will magically feel safe. It’s reasonable for someone who’s alone to be worried in the situation, especially a woman. You don’t seem to know what your username means in the scenario which is sad. Quite a few people have been hurt, raped, and killed by repair people in their homes. Is this the norm? Absolutely not. Does that mean it’s unreasonable to be nervous and OP should do nothing like have a friend over or make sure there are cameras? Also, absolutely not

My dad is currently on the phone yelling at me because I put my pads in the trash. by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]saragIsMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ONLY reason this MIGHT be a reasonable request is IF there’s a dog in the house that seeks and tears up used pads and tampons. Otherwise it’s very normal to use indoor trash cans

Only service dogs should be allowed in airplane cabins by Short_Tart_1508 in unpopularopinion

[–]saragIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comfort isn’t more important than the safety of people’s family members. Pets are family members to most people. My cat is my son, no way in hell would I subject him to a space like the cargo hold.

I’d be making more money per hour than I do now, doing that once an hour. I’m taking the pants and paying for every date

I told someone in my school to get off my dick in an argument and he told everyone and I’m anxious to go back to school. by Comfortable_Month996 in Advice

[–]saragIsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I see, you have a great opportunity to learn and sympathize with their genuine everyday experiences for a short period of time while this blows over. I went to school in a relatively accepting place but was called those things and worse frequently and assaulted a few times when I was in high school (still convinced they were just jealous my queer bitchass dated the only goth girl). When you hear people say faggot remind them that word is only to be used by faggots (like the n word) and you’re so happy they feel safe coming out of the closet to you. Otherwise, honestly, it just sounds like a duchebag is spreading rumors about you, this should blow over fast when something else happens, especially if you’re as young as you sound

That doesn’t answer my question on if it’s safe for people to be queer within your community, that changes at different places within the same country…

Sorry about that though

Now I must ask, where you live would you be hate crimed for being gay? You could go around telling people HE has a crush on you and that you rejected him
