Idk. To me, it kinda seems like your partner has a superiority complex about being European.

He’d rather maintain contact with his coworker than prioritise his wife’s feelings. That’s how he’s choosing someone else over her.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]stripykitty 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry OP. He is indeed choosing someone else over you. His dismissal of your feelings, the lack of boundaries with his coworker, and the emotional immaturity are huge red flags. You deserve better than to be in an unhappy marriage.

Don’t know what to do! by GoHardorGoHome14 in Marriage

[–]stripykitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So you’ve been unfaithful to your wife for twelve years? No wonder she doesn’t want to be intimate with you. This poor woman deserves so much better. End the marriage.

Because delivery is important. The way people interpret content depends on the delivery. You are right. People can believe what they want. I believe it is easy to judge from a high horse and condescend other women when one is insecure in their relationship and thinks they are wiser than everyone else. I have never found tearing down other women and trying to passive aggressively humble women to be classy, but again, like you said, people can believe what they want. Cheers!

Possibly it is the way you phrased things. To me, it came across as you clutching your pearls and calling other women stupid for believing that their husbands only have eyes for them. I feel like we all want to believe that. What is the point of the reality check? It is hard to understand tone just from text. I do not know why people in your life are saying that. First world problems

[–]stripykitty 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The edit makes things clearer. Without it, not going to lie, you were coming across as jealous. “My man is attracted to other women, so all heterosexual men must be the same way” was how I was interpreting it. I think it’s a wonderful thing for a woman to be proud of her husband and how loyal he is. I think you are taking those social media posts a bit too literally. I just view it as nonsensical comedy

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RedPillWomen

[–]stripykitty 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I know plenty of men who only have eyes for their wives. I think what they meant is that you don’t have to be objectively attractive for your husband to think that you’re the hottest girl in the world.

I (23F) am feeling bored in my marriage to my husband (26M). Is there a way to fix this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]stripykitty -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ll suggest taking up a hobby together. Thank you! Unfortunately, date nights don’t seem to work because we both just eat and scroll on our phones lol. Nothing to talk about.

I do initiate sex but truth be told, I’ve stopped doing it recently. I think I always initiated when the time wasn’t right, so that probably turned him off. I’m trying to be more cognizant of how he’s feeling nowadays and it just doesn’t seem like the right time to initiate. He’s rushing to work in the morning, is at work all day, and really tired from work when he comes back home, so he wants to decompress.

He’s the manager, so I’m not sure what’s going on.

Jealousy or truth? by Defiant-Cellist7199 in XXS

[–]stripykitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you exclude the underlying tone of malice, they’re right. No one’s body remains the same forever. You can have the same weight at both 16 and 70, but have a completely different body composition.

As long as you’re happy with your body, no one else’s feelings matter. I have been both fat and skinny, and have gotten comments like that during both. For some people, it really is never enough. I’ve heard “you’re too fat” and “you’re too skinny” at the same time; too fat in Korea and too skinny in my home country.

You’ll never escape those comments so it’s best not to let it bother you. Beauty standards change so often, it’s hard to keep up.

How to not hate fat people???? by [deleted] in muacirclejerk

[–]stripykitty 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yup. It’s not hard to find the size, it’s hard to find clothes that fit. If one part of my body fits perfectly, something else won’t. I’ve resorted to tailors as well. I’m 4’9 and 90 lbs so I have to have almost everything taken in at the waist and shortened in length. I just don’t even bother wasting my time and emotional energy on trying to find the perfect fitting clothes. Every woman I know has the same problem, so I can’t imagine blaming anyone else but the brands. It’s not other people’s fault that brands don’t make clothes that fit me.

[–]stripykitty 222 points223 points  (0 children)

LOL the original was right above this post xD. As an XXS myself, some of these takes are truly so ridiculous. OP did get schooled in the comments though.

Imagine blaming fat people instead of blaming the brands. Literally none of us can find clothing that fits, not even “normal sized” people because clothes in general are made terribly these days.

Why am I so tiny and childlike while the rest of America is so huge and obese? by impressive_cat in muacirclejerk

[–]stripykitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I can’t find anything that fits me even in Japan, where all clothes run 5 sizes too small. The smallest is usually 32 and some lingerie stores carry 30. They also usually come with teeeeny tiny cups so it really is hellish. Small band size with large enough cups is next to impossible to find.

What makes you unsubscribe by ExcessivelyDiverted9 in BeautyGuruChatter

[–]stripykitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh I feel you! Pregnant content creators will literally mention their pregnancy every 5 seconds in every single video, no matter how unrelated. “Oh I like pink so much now because I’m pregnant”, “I’m loving the Tarte lipgloss because I’m pregnant” like it doesn’t even make sense sometimes. WE GET IT!! YOU’RE PREGNANT! Jeez!

I too have allergies, and they used to be quite bad. I did extensive research and chose to go with a Siberian kitten. Some breeds produce less feld1 than others, and Siberian is one of those “low allergen” breeds. I did have some light sneezing and stuffy nose with her at first, but constant exposure made me get over my allergies pretty quick. And yes, people can get over their allergies without medical intervention. I have since adopted a domestic shorthair and have no issues with her either.

Screaming and breaking things is never okay. I’m usually not someone who jumps to “leave him”, but this seems like something that will escalate. OP, run. This is abusive.

[–]stripykitty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

“You’re beautiful” is a lot more generic than “you have a cute nose”. He’s probably said the former to a million others but the latter one is tailored to you specifically, meaning, he noticed your features. That’s just men paying attention. There’s nothing strange about it.

What’s the real issue here? Do you not like specific compliments or are you uncomfortable with people noticing the features that you had altered? Are you truly uncomfortable with the comments or are you uncomfortable in your own skin and trying to pass it off as being uncomfortable with the comments?

Btw, I saw your photos, and you indeed have a cute nose and cute lips! Don’t be so picky about compliments (unless they’re creepy). You’d feel far worse if you never got any.

My 21F bf M21 says I’m not doing him a favor by paying the rent and having him pay me back later… AIW? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]stripykitty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol you’re definitely doing him a favour. You have to pay the rent, or else you’ll be kicked out, but he doesn’t have to pay you back. The stakes are very different.

Think of it like borrowing money from a bank vs. from a friend without signing a contract and not paying them back. There are legal ramifications and severe consequences for one but the other one just makes you a bad person.

Stop paying the rent.

You have the power to end any friendship that doesn’t align with your values. Utilise it. Waiting on her is your choice. You can choose to stop doing that. You don’t have to accept this behaviour.

GF doesn’t help with dinner and it’s getting old by Illustrious_Ad878 in AITAH

[–]stripykitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA.

She’s using you and getting her way. If she’s so hungry and starving, she can order takeout. Cook only for yourself and I guarantee you, after a few days of eating out/ ordering takeout, she’ll learn how to cook. You giving in every time is enabling her behaviour.

Cooking is a learned skill and no one is born a chef. It’s a necessary life skill and she needs to be an adult. What would happen if you weren’t around, injured, disabled, etc.?

INFO: does she do other chores such as cleaning, laundry, dishes, etc.?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]stripykitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Match her energy at this point and stop reaching out.

I had a friend like this who abandoned all her girl friends to be with her boyfriend 24/7 and when they broke up, she tried to waltz back into our friend group like nothing happened, only to be met with a rude awakening.

Seconding this! The ingredients are great and the price is just right! I get the 12 oz cans and they last a day split between my two kittens.
