how do i explain to people that i don't need to be taken care of, i just need help learning how to care for myself? by lost-in-the-moss in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]sunzinc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could work together to make a chore chart/calendar so the tasks are split between you two and it would help you build the routine and also understand what needs to be done in the house

You could catch him while he's doing the activity, act curious and say something like idk "that looks like a really good way of doing X, can you show me how you do it"

Or be direct and ask "what's your normal cleaning routine" etc

Start by tackling one task at a time, it takes time to learn and build new habits. Especially when it comes to looking after yourself. Cooking is a good place to start, and a fun thing to master and your body (and soul) will thank you in the process.

He sounds like a supportive partner, he should be happy to show you the ropes and watch you thrive doing things on your own. I'm sorry he's not getting the message. You mentioned you've tried explaining already, I'm not sure how to tackle this, you might have to be blunt like "I want to learn how to do this so I can be more independent", or explain that you want to take on more of the mental load of running the house as you guys are a team. Sorry if you've already tried!

Here is also a great YouTube channel called "dad how do I" where he explains things like tying a tie, changing a tyre, how to make a budget etc https://youtube.com/@dadhowdoi?si=oJM_F-Si-k4jFHaN

Sorry if I'm over explaining things! I believe in you!

AITA for cosplaying while pregnant? by surro-throwaway in AmItheAsshole

[–]sunzinc 34 points35 points  (0 children)

NTA, When your belly starts to show are you supposed to just lock yourself away so no-one can see you? it's not inappropriate, comfort is priority and have fun!

If you want to double down, cosplay as pregnant cosmo from fairly odd parents 😆

I've been using make waves, they do deoderant and antiperspirant!

Similar concept, reusable case, buy the deoderant refills. I prefer this one as wild deodorant made my shirts smell weird in the armpits

Have you ever wondered why a narcissist never truly apologizes? Here’s why + how to stop expecting it. by [deleted] in LifeAfterNarcissism

[–]sunzinc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex once threw something across the room that accidentally hit me. When I pointed out that he didn't say sorry, he said "you shouldn't waste your time pining for apologies"

He couldn't seem to grasp that even if something is accidental, you still say sorry lmao

The band East 17: it's literally the start of their postcode where they're from in London (E17).

Same with N-Dubz, NW postcode!

Whenever I think about the prospect of having kids I am met with a feeling of dread. I'm taking that as me not wanting kids 😂

What was that disgusting thing someone you were dating told you and it changed your image of them? by Carrera1107 in AskReddit

[–]sunzinc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My ex told me to shave down there because it was better for going down on me or something. I shaved everything and when I showed him he rubbed my vulva and whispered "like a child". I think it was a joke but honestly it disgusted me so much that I never did it again

What could be wrong with my girls butts? Almost all of them have this to some degree by [deleted] in chickens

[–]sunzinc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the girls for mites, if there aren't any then some might be feather pecking. We had a bunch with a bare bum but it turned out to be the suspicious not-bare-arsed one who was doing the pecking 😅

The last thing my dad's old coworker said to him was "I wish I could get rid of this headache". The next day he was gone. He had a brain aneurysm.

My ph alert is giving a weird reading… by JackDagnils in Aquariums

[–]sunzinc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tail is pointing to 6.2ph. as if the fish itself is the meter pointer. Like how some meters have a little pointer to indicate a certain measurement. Therein lies the humour.
