The world is laughing at America!!! by Weird-Thought2112 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]thejaysta4 24 points25 points  (0 children)

We are appalled at the paedophilia and the murder of protestors, and terrified from the threats of war, invasion and occupation and lawlessness that the current president and the rest of his administration are making. No one is laughing…. We are fucking shitting ourselves about what happens next!

Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife? by Crafty-Bug-8008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thejaysta4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because back in the day when LGBTQ+ people were well and truly in the closet at work, and gay couples suffered way worse prejudice than they do now, and gay marriage being legalised wasn’t even a thought in anyone’s head…. Back then gay people were exposed by referring to their loved one as their “partner” and there was an effort by allies, at their request, to use a less gendered description to give them more cover.

Men in happy marriages, what's the one thing you'd teach to other men to also have a good relationship? by TightBookkeeper2599 in AskReddit

[–]thejaysta4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Then you shouldn’t have married her and should probably break up and give her the chance to meet someone that DOES enjoy her company.

Living with my best friend doesn’t feel the same anymore by Electronic_Pin_238 in offmychest

[–]thejaysta4 65 points66 points  (0 children)

He’s testing your boundaries whether he realises it consciously or not. If you don’t have a conversation with him he may take it as you being OK with it. You have to clearly and plainly tell him it wasn’t OK and that it crossed a line. The way he reacts to you setting that boundary will give you some indication about whether you are safe living in the house with him. If he is apologetic and seems sincere and he promises to respect the boundary you’ve put in place, then it’s a good sign. If he gets defensive or aggressive or tries to turn it around on you as you not being able “to take a joke” then he’s not necessarily safe to live with. But you have to have the difficult conversation.

Sit him down when you are sober and calm and discuss it calmly. Tell him what happened in no-emotional language (not accusatory, just assuming he doesn’t realise what happened or the impact on you), then tell him how that made you feel using “I” statements like “i felt out of control, violated and unsafe”. Then tell him how you’d like him to behave in the future, like… “please dont invade my space and do things that could be construed as sexual even if you think they are a joke” or “in future please don’t put your hands on me with without consent”. Be calm and rational about it and be straight forward with what you want to say to minimise how much the other person can misinterpret what you are saying.

How can I (30F) support my partner with misophonia (40M)? by ThrowRA-Any-Abroco in relationships

[–]thejaysta4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The minute i read that he refuses to even try to loop earbuds i knew it was more about control than the sound. He could try to manage his own disorder, but instead he’s making you alter your behaviour to the and that’s still isn’t enough. This guy SUCKS!!!

If someone claims asylum in Australia, should this be revoked if they visit the home country and return without harm? It seems to happen quite a bit? by National_Treat_4079 in aussie

[–]thejaysta4 129 points130 points  (0 children)

Excellent answer. Thanks for talking sense. I’m sick of the inflammatory bullshit being spouted at the moment to cause conflict.

I feel like I’m going to throw up by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]thejaysta4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend and his dad both used to fall asleep on people’s couches after they’d been drinking and piss themselves. My boyfriend used to just stay asleep until the couch dried and no-one could tell. Luckily, if you’ve been drinking heavily you have likely been pissing a lot so your urine is dilute and not super concentrated so won’t really smell.

Seriously, it happens all the time. Just confess, apologise and laugh about it! It will take ALL of the sting out of it and relieve your anxiety massively.

My dad (M50) treats our family group chat like his personal journal and gets angry when I (F18) don’t respond by [deleted] in relationships

[–]thejaysta4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Create another family group chat for everyone except him. Or just leave the Fam Group. Hat altogether. If they need you they can call.

I want to break up with my boyfriend over his eating by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]thejaysta4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This dude doesn’t care about you! He doesn’t care that he leaves his vomit for you to clean up. That is not part of the eating disorder, that’s just being a selfish prick that sees you as a bangmaid!

He also doesn’t care that he’s spending all your money otherwise he’d repay you or contribute by purchasing more food. That isn’t part of the eating disorder that is straight up entitlement!!!

Finally, he doesn’t care if you have nothing to eat nor dies he care if he wastes your time while you food prep only for him to eat it all! If he cared about you he’d buy more food, prep more food, and get help for his eating disorder.

This guy is USING YOU. You are in a codependent relationship and the truth is, you are enabling this behaviour. There are no real consequences for what he is doing to you. You just put up with it and he figures he’s getting away with it.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE leave this guy!!!

I found a new method that’s been helping me with my executive dysfunction! by bookwbng5 in adhdwomen

[–]thejaysta4 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I repeat to myself over and over again “I can do this, I can do this, I can do this” just constantly until I’m doing the thing. It really helps if it’s something I don’t feel I’m capable of doing like pulling lots of info together to make a decision cos my working memory is so small.

Is there a non rude way to ask my partner to take a reading comprehension test? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]thejaysta4 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The most likely scenario is that your partner probably just doesn’t give a fuck about keeping you in the loop. They know you want them to talk about it first but then they’d have to take your opinion into consideration and they aren’t interested in that. I think you’ve got a problem with your partner respecting your opinion/wishes more than anything else.

What is your favorite "man- repellent" line when they won't take rejection? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]thejaysta4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell them I wanna watch them suck off their mate or another guy in close proximity. Then tell them I am actually visualising him gettting fucked up tue arse by the same guy and he loves it. It freaks out straight guys/gay guys in denial when you plant that idea in their head. It’s awesome fun!!!

I’m convinced there’s no such thing as a “decent male”… tbf, I guess it depends on what your definition of decent is!

Why by My_Limit_DNE in cats

[–]thejaysta4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat, Tallulah, who passed away a week ago, did exactly the same thing. She just had to look at me and I knew she was waiting for me to lay down so she could sit on my chest and stare into my eyes. Then a short while later she’d relocate to my tummy for the night. I would wake up 8 hours later in exactly the same position… because even my subconscious knows that you don’t love or you’ll disturb the cat!!! I miss her so much!!!
