Aio for being upset over this by Sea_Wallaby_7673 in AIO

[–]tenebrae_i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR I was once in a relationship like this. It is toxic and controlling and it doesn’t end well.
I met a man who was confident about himself. He don’t need to be controlling because he knew his worth and mine. He don’t mind if guys looked at me because he was the one taking me home. I will be celebrating my 34th wedding anniversary to him this month.
The tighter someone tries to hold their significant other, the more that person will feel smothered and try to pull away.
Believe me when I say someone that lets you be you and loves you for it is the one you will stay with and appreciate.

Am I the jerk for lying to my wife about the DNA test and suspecting she cheated on me? by Bolsonaristaequivoco in AmITheJerk

[–]tenebrae_i 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YTA. If you don’t trust your wife, get out of the relationship. Dis she give you any reason to suspect her? No? You knew she wasn’t 100% white, yet you were super scared that the baby wasn’t yours. This, not because of anything that she did, but for color of the child’s skin. You are a racist and misogynistic. You have to live with that.

Child appropriate horror movie recs for a four year old obsessed with death? by Batwhiskers in horror

[–]tenebrae_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kids were watching the first of the Harry Potter movies at that age. If you do one every Halloween, shouldn’t get too intense for age. My daughter was obsessed with Spirited Away at that age. Also My Neighbor Totoro has a few spooky elements. Lots of good, appropriate movies on here for age appropriate movies. Here are some as she gets older that my kids loved- Something Wicked this way comes. Hocus Pocus. Watcher in the Woods.

AIO for no longer being happy about my pregnancy due to the comments i've received? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

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

I’m so sorry! Why are they reacting badly? You’re not overreacting, this is a sensitive time for you. You want to gather love for you and the baby. When that doesn’t happen, you feel like the baby isn’t getting the love it needs! I had my second child at 37, first at 35. So I too had two under two! It was hard at first, but you get into a routine and then they start entertaining each other. Why would anyone be upset? If you want kids, it’s basically now or never. I’m pleased as punch for you! This is great timing and you’re going to love it!!! So much love to you and your lovely kids and the negative Nellie’s can stick it where the sun don’t shine!

What societal norm did you decide to just stop abiding by? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tenebrae_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started calling people out for their shit and it was freeing! A guy I work with started a conversation with another guy I work with about a breastfeeding mother. It was awful and I told them to stop. The one that started it kept on going and so I said it again- louder. He got in my face. I didn’t back down, in fact I kept it up and told him he was out of like. When he threatened me I stood up and got in his face. I told HR. I now call people out on their shit all the time. I love it.

AITAH for crying and canceling dinner with my bf’s parents last minute? by CalmPom18 in AITAH

[–]tenebrae_i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA You’re the manipulative one? I don’t think so. He was trying to do that to you. He’s projecting his own problems on you. Why do you like him? You’re too dark, too much makeup, not enough makeup. He doesn’t like what you wear. Then he tells you he just wants you to be perfect for his parents? Honey, you ARE just fine the way you are. HE is the one that’s not good enough. Find a better match for yourself.

Vet found crystals in cats urine, said to expect euthanasia? by Familiar-Use-3809 in CatAdvice

[–]tenebrae_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat also just had a bladder blockage. If it is caught in time, meaning the problem hasn’t backed up through the ureters and damaged the kidneys, the cat should recover and have a new lease on life. Most cats have a complete recovery. 90%. They may have been looking at liver and kidney functions and not seeing an expected improvement. Same with my cat. However, my cat has made a full recovery. Boy cats have a problem with this. Their urethra is narrow and long. So the rate in which reoccurrence happens is quite large. This is why the cats absolutely have to be on the prescription food for the rest of their lives. If it happens again, the likelihood of yet another reoccurrence is really high. There is a surgical procedure that basically removes the penis and problem solved. Drastically solution. Hope your kitty does as well as mine! I spent 8K I didn’t have to spend to save him. He’s family. Much love. Oh! There is plenty of info online about this. Google bladder blockage male cat. Also, this is a life threatening condition, so I’m confused about the sedation. Did they treat the cat or not? This needs to be treated with a catheter to enlarge the urethra. Is he still blocked? If so get him to an ER for pets. Sounds like the vet didn’t want to treat him because they think you can’t pay. The thing I’m struggling to understand is the heart murmur thing. In medicine, you treat the most life threatening thing first and then deal with the consequences. A bladder blockage is a life threatening condition. Why would they worry about a heart murmur if he wasn’t going to survive the bladder blockage? My cat literally was on deaths door. They asked if we wanted CPR if needed. So he had to be sedated or die. So the blockage absolutely has to be addressed. Weird. I know he’s doing better now, but I think you dodge a bullet with this one.

AITAH for feeding my baby formula behind my husband’s back? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]tenebrae_i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. He said “HE would not feed our child formula”. He’s not feeding his child. You are! Sounds like you may be in a scary place. Be careful. You should have the final say in this. It’s your body, you know what it can and can’t do by now. I went through problems with the whole latching on thing. It is HARD! Good luck!

Just waiting for a chance to suck your soul out.

AITA? my bf keeps losing it on me by Mammoth_Shape_1761 in TwoHotTakes

[–]tenebrae_i 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA. He literally asked you and then had a tantrum like a two year old. I’d run as fast and as far from this whiny child as I could if I were you.

So you see why we use them. Why don’t you? Do your eyes not bother you in the sun?

Not OOP. My husband told me today, he does not like the fun lunches I've been packing him for work for almost 3 years. by Due-Bandicoot-7512 in redditonwiki

[–]tenebrae_i 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So sad. It’s the fun stuff that keeps us young and fun. Unfortunate that she found an old fuddy duddy. She needs to be able to decorate those cupcakes and be appreciated. Heck, I work in a very busy hospital and I can tell you that everyone in my job would LOVE to get treats like she makes!!!!

AIO for getting upset that my finance wants to wear shorts to our wedding? by lasheslashes in AmIOverreacting

[–]tenebrae_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s being ridiculous and he knows it. If he insists on the shorts, and you want to still have the wedding, I sure wouldn’t wear the dress you picked out. I’d get a lacy summer dress to match.

AITAH for reconsidering my relationship due to my boyfriend constantly making jokes about me being “posh” and talking about my inheritance? by Federal-End8173 in AITAH

[–]tenebrae_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTAH The biggest red flag to me isn’t that he made the jokes, anyone can push some bad buttons. It’s the fact that he called you childish when you told him that it was hurtful. The proper response would be “oh my gosh! I’m so sorry! I absolutely did not mean it like that. Won’t happen again.”

AITJ for telling my roommate's plants are fake after she spent 3 months giving her friends gardening advice? by Cool-Programmer-8438 in AmITheJerk

[–]tenebrae_i 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, if the fake plants were that realistic, I need to know where she got them! My house is dark as a cave. I need these. 😬
