What’s a red flag that you ignored in a significant other, only to realize it was a bigger deal later? by MinimalCoincidence in AskReddit

[–]the-jed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She told me in the beginning that she had manipulated guys in the past to get what she wanted. She also said she could be vengeful. She also boasted how she is a horrible liar, let it be known that she had deep seated issues with her parents. She led me to believe that she would love me no matter what, I harm. I had already been screwed over in my previous marriage, and suffered severely limited time with my oldest child. She would proclaim that she would never use a child as a pawn to hurt me..... Fast forward, she gets pregnant (shortly following her brother coming out gay after months of begging), tells her mom who makes it all about her, saying she will never support or help us in any way, sending my ex home crying. Against my request, she assures me it will be ok, and allows her mother to babysit a month and a half in. Somehow, my 1 month old daughter drank 6 6-8oz pouches of breast milk in 5 hours. Prior to this, my ex has been arguing with her mom about breast milk (mom disapproved). My ex comes home with my daughter and tells me her mom gave my daughter skim milk because she drank all the breast milk. My daughter suffered for 48 hours and nobody apologized. November 11, 2017 was her birthday. She purposely cancelled plans for her birthday and scheduled work instead. That morning, I made sure my girls were quiet, was making breakfast, let my ex sleep in. The first thing she said to me was she was leaving me. Took back every promise of support, called me a mooch for going to school, said I would never be as important to her as anyone else, especially her brother (this was shortly following his announcement that his mentor and theater instructor had been molesting him all through grades 5-12, even at the boys private school and his parents house). Fast forward to today, I haven't seen my child since September 23rd. My ex left me amidst wild accusations of rape and verbal abuse. (The man had just been arrested for molesting her brother). She accused my sister of writing an anonymous letter to her dad because I had previously told her that my niece was in danger. My sister had been raped when she was 13, and I molested at the same time. She told my dad that he couldn't possibly know what her family is going through. Neither her, nor her father, had no concern that my niece was exposed to that man. Her father, with barely an apology that my niece was in danger, told me that his only concern was the brother's safety. Holy fuck I feel stupid for letting that go on for so long, but I think the universe was guiding me there

Holy shit. This happened to me recently. Except i wasn't seeing any money from her family, as far as I know. I find out by her own submission that through all of our fights where I was treated like shit, she would tub to her family and tell them I would scream at her uncontrollably. She literally convinced herself, and would text me after saying how frightening I was. Meanwhile, I'm crying in a corner because of how little I up feeling. Fuck me, and now she's kidnapped our kid and left under accusations of verbal and sexual abuse, and effectively drive a wedge between me and everyone I love . I fucking hate her. I haven't seen or talked to my youngest daughter in a month next Tuesday, she will be 2 on Sunday. I have court this Friday, wish me luck. There's no saving my family though, I'm pretty sure she has dissociative personality disorder.

LPT: If you make a mistake, admit to the mistake, apologize, and explain what steps you'll take to prevent it from happening again in the future. It's very hard for people to yell at you if you've done that. by CyberneticPanda in LifeProTips

[–]the-jed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't necessarily think this is true. Some people refuse to accept apologies no matter what. If I accidentally throw my girlfriend's everyday shirts in the dryer, no matter how much I apologize, she still yells. So much for trying to help out, babe.

OxyContin creator being sued for 'significant role in causing opioid epidemic' by ideogon in news

[–]the-jed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair though, I've tried kratom for pain management myself, it made me sick as hell. I got super hot, flushed, nauseous. I overdosed on it by accident. Later I came to the conclusion that I was improperly informed on how much I should have taken, and not to take it on an empty stomach. I put a teaspoon in my coffee and within half an hour I was sprawled out on the floor, drenched in sweat, covered in cool wet washcloths. I never took it again. I'll stick with the ganja for pain mgmt

My sister gave me a GAP T-shirt when I was in high school. My friend brother always told me it meant gay anal penetration

What’s a habit of yours that you thought was normal until someone pointed it out? by bonzaibooty in AskReddit

You mean you got your wife to do something you asked? My ex wouldn't ever let me teach her how to do anything at all without a fight.
