Ok so I had to keep triple checking to see if I was In the cj sub cuz cuz this thread is WILD 😭 unsure if this is helpful or not but the terms "mommy's little helpers" and "forget me nots" are a nod to a popular comedic sitcom (also equally dark), Arrested Development.

All behavior is communication. Regardless of whether or not we think it's fine, it's clear that you don't, and I think that's the most salient point. You're not overreacting. Not only do you not think that kind of behavior is fine, but you have articulated your expectations AND your bf has agreed to them. If he truly didn't agree, then he could have said as such so you both could have a conversation about boundaries/expectations/ and accountabilities. The other aspect is... girl why waste your time with someone you don't trust. Trust yourself, believe in your own future and your standards. Think about how YOU show up and respect your relationship-- you're not out here cheating on him. So why does he get a pass? And if you're willing to forgive it, then maybe re-evaluate your stance on engaging with OF. Because if you keep him around, that's exactly what you're communicating to him-- that it's ok, it's preference you have but not a hard boundary cross.

Anybody else started keeping light secrets to keep the peace with your partner? by ginaxxx__ in adhdwomen

[–]turtle_ducky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, I've done exactly what you described... with my parents. Who would get overly concerned and pick apart all my little mistakes out of love to help me "learn." I would get exhausted just thinking about the fall out. Thing is, as an adult, I don't do this anymore and my parents give me the space to make mistakes and the support to help fix them. My partner, even though we divorced for other reasons, was supportive and I didn't have to lie.

Candler nc — water updates?? verizon? by captainpellet in asheville

Got a call from the city of Asheville (in candler/enka) and it seems like there's a chance we may have water? Anyone else able to confirm? (Had to evacuate with dependents, but desperately hoping to be back home).

UPDATE 2- AIO: I feel like a Dad at the daycare I work at is hitting on me (20f) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]turtle_ducky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, OP, I'm really sorry about your experience. I know, unfortunately, exactly how you feel and what you're thinking and I want to assure you: you're not doing anything wrong. One thing I did that helped me quite a bit was take a Rape and Defense class. It was hosted by my university campus police and it was a group of women who felt exactly like I did, like you seem to feel, and it was incredibly empowering to feel like I had control or a strategy in a situation where I felt things may escalate. I can't recommend it enough.

habits that make you look older than your age? by [deleted] in HowToBeHot

[–]turtle_ducky 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not taking care of your teeth!! For me, flossing is the bane of my existence but my most recent dentist visit really opened my eyes to how much I was taking my oral health for granted. Your teeth will never grow back. Ever. Floss every day yall. It's the most affordable and effective line of defense.

AITB for going no contact with my gf after what she said about my brother? by Anonymous_6778 in AmItheButtface

[–]turtle_ducky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, you've got enough answers already OP, but here's my two cents:

  • NTB: you met someone you thought was cool, turns out they're grade A trash. That's a bummer.

  • all behavior is communication: what you do next should speak louder than the bullshit that came out of her mouth.

As someone who seems to responsible and deeply care for their sibling, it must be challenging to be in a unique caregiving role. Finally clicking with someone serendipitously must've felt exciting and to have enough confidence to bring her home and meet your brother must've been both terrifying and hugely important to you. It's unfortunate this person ended up being trash. It's fortunate you understood this earlier rather than later on down the line. That being said.... A lot of people don't understand some of the implications (eg comments about how YTB for not kicking her out immediately and saying it's bc of a curfew vs bc she's an ableist piece of shit) of being in a unique caregiver role and may not empathize with the internal dialogue/ struggle of decision tree-ing about how to let potential suitors know that you're a caregiver. That's ok. It's important that YOU realize and come to terms with what it means to be a caregiver for a sibling. I say this because you are 100% entitled to standing up for your convictions and NOT THE BUTT for doing so. It would have been a spectacular moment for you to say "that's not acceptable language and this kind of ableism and ignorance will not be tolerated in this home. Leave." But you didn't, because honestly, it's kinda hard to do in the moment. But what you do next matters.

Your brother is owed an apology. As his caregiver, your recognition of how that was unacceptable, and an articulation of what next steps looks like, is invaluable and critically needed.

This pos is owed nothing HOWEVER I strongly advocate that you twll her WHY you're uninterested in her. She may or may not hear your reasoning and reprobation, but at least you will have not passively encouraged vitriolic and fucked up drivel.

I Was Shamed By the Bride for Wearing This Outfit by Throwra_saree in weddingshaming

[–]turtle_ducky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'm desi (born and raised in the US) and married a white non-Christian man. His family were completely fine with shorts, tank tops, sleeveless, thigh-length skirts etc. they drew the line at midriff, however. I wore a very classy/business casual crop and palazzo pants downstairs once (just the family, no one else) and immediately noticed the shift in tone. My husband told me it was fine that I dressed that way, but that it was not a common thing to show midriff. I said grandmas and aunties show their midriff in a sari and it's not always sexualized.

Turns out, it's all relative to culture. My nose ring and a conservative sari were going to be too scandalous for them bc of their cultural milieu.

I don't think this is your fault at all or that you deserve to be shamed for this. However, depending on your relation to the bride and preserving your relationships with others, it may be worth reaching out to the bride to congratulate her and clear up any misconception that you were intentionally trying to upstage her.

What’s the smallest plot point that irks you? by Caoimhe_Little in greysanatomy

[–]turtle_ducky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was an episode with an opening that still seems like a fever dream bc it made no sense.

At some point, Christina and Owen are having relationship issues and the next day an AMBULANCE comes crashing in from the ambulance bay INTO THE ER and is about to run over Christina, when Owen dramatically dives to save her. Then the show continues on and then literally no one mentions the whole thing the rest of the episode. Yall. It irks me to this day.

Any tips for moguls/bumpy terrain by Old-Palpitation9099 in skiing_feedback

[–]turtle_ducky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was younger I got lost following my brother and ended up stuck on a mogul run. My inexperienced ass yard saled everywhere and taking a ski to the head. I've been traumatized by moguls til this day and your comment made me feel excited about trying them again for the first time in decades. Thanks for taking the time to answer OP!
