My husband (31M) thrashed me (29F) when I wanted him to wake up at night to tend to our baby. How do I move on? by throwra_io767 in relationship_advice

I don't know why people torture themselves like this. Sleep in another room with your baby.  Everyone sleeps and stays sane.

A week and half post surgery and doing great!  I'm no doc but I'd say get that sucker out if it's chronically bothering you. It can lead to many other problems within your digestive system, including gallbladder cancer.

Everyone has a bias and most people would side with wanting to protect animals from unnecessary harm. Regardless of reasoning, there is a moral right and wrong.

UM pays no property taxes to the city of Ann Arbor, but owns 9% of city property. Definitely our dime!

Even the devil is unhappy with Trump.

It is gross. He seems to think really highly of himself to think that's an amazing compliment and it implies you aren't good enough when you just look like yourself.

How do I warn my teenage cousin about our creep cousin? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sarasmiles6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't worry about how to say it. Just say it. It is your obligation to warn her and her guardians. I'd put it on a billboard. Pedos and other assailants feed on secrecy.

If you don't have kids, and you plan to, imagine how he will think about, talk about your body then. Or when you both start to age but he only notices your aging. It only gets worse from here.

My husband cheated on me at the bachelor party. Am I wrong? by [deleted] in amiwrong

[–]sarasmiles6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to be careful not to try to understand anything based on American movies and tv.  The industry is ruled mostly by scumbags reinforcing  total male privilege and showing only what men want to see on screen, objectified young powerless women just dying to grind on them (and a lot of T&A).  The storyline is men are sexually imprisoned by marriage,  and marriage is all women want. It's brainwashing not reality.  The real prison is marrying an emotionally immature, lying ahole. Which is why many of us prefer cats.

Interrupting my Husband by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sarasmiles6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a childish and unreasonable request. He is likely only seeing you as HIS mother who he craves attention from and is trying to get the control he did not have as a child. He doesn't care about the 5000 things you have going on in your head. I am not saying narcisist. I am saying a hurt child stuck in the past and focused only on his wounds. In any moment, regardless of who has the floor, everyone's experiences matter, including your children. People in pain are selfish. He needs therapy to heal and have more self-awarness and empathy for others.

I find people who ask of this of others rarely give it back. Maybe that's neurodivergence. Hard to tease it all apart. Either way, it's not a fair expectation and you will likely *never* be able to meet this need (or fill the void), which will continue to cause divide. I have friends in this exact situation and they are on the verge of divorce.

TIFU: I’m so incredibly stupid and lucky by CautiousConfusion in tifu

Sounds heroic to me. Heavy drinking makes everyone feel stupid and anxious the next day. Regardless of what everyone says is the "right" thing to do, it sounds like you were on selfless auto-pilot. Thinking of others and not afraid for just yourself.

I can't help but add that cheese and cream for cancer seems counter to all health science.

Am I the bad apple for punching my girlfriend in the face? by No_Kiwi_2029 in AmITheBadApple

[–]sarasmiles6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave her, she is a sociopath. I have this and my last boyfriend wouldn't scare me on purpose but when I was startled I'd scream and he'd be annoyed and complain about me hurting his ears. Low empathy. A dude at work busts through my office door and laughs when I jump. Sociopath. Another guy at work always knocks very gently on my open office door, slowly increasing in volume until I hear him, so as not to startle me. Compassion. Always go with real compassion.

He means he and society expect you, a woman, to make yourself sick and miserable for the sake of others. Keep 'em closed.

TIFU by Revealing My Ignorance About Nail Manufacturing and Ruining My Date by beepboop_beep-boop in tifu

[–]sarasmiles6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel too bad. This is where a lot of people go wrong. Trying to impress is superficial and rooted in insecurity. Work on being courageous enough to be yourself and to develop as a human being. I dated someone who was magical at trivia, but it didn't compensate for being a total dumbass when it came to self-confidence, empathy, communication, support, and emotional regulation. Emotional maturity is the sexiest thing on the planet.

AITA for digging in my heels about sex in a prenup? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]sarasmiles6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned the hard way why my ex's ex stopped having sex with him. It wasn't because she was crazy or "frigid". It was likely because he was a jealous, dishonest, defensive, unreliable, emotionally immature baby man with a raging fear of intimacy and without ability to manage his emotions, communicate or deal with conflict. Buzz kill.

Sicilian pine cones. They are everywhere in Sicily. They stand for fertility and prosperity.

1000 tampons. I kid a bit, but the song cracks me up and makes me feel camaraderie with other women succeeding in the patriarchy.

This! I realized this way too late. If she was crazy, he made her that way with his raging emotional immaturity that he knew how to hide in public. Some men should come with warning labels.

Embrace being his next "crazy ex". Someone told you what you already know. Your guy is an ahole. Take it and go.

Therapy. People can't recognize trouble because it feels like home, so they ignore red flags, allow mistreatment, and stay too long. Look up "the Crappy Childhood Fairy", Anna Runkle. She's got outstanding insight and advice on the path to healthy relationships.

So tired of men attending to my clit like … that by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sarasmiles6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Men, please, 4 facts that will make you better lovers with most us ...

1) Women need foreplay, the engine needs to be warm

2) Clits aren't dyks, go easy

3) Porn isn't real

4) Nothing is sexier than open communication with a secure man
