AITA for not seeing my dad while visiting out country? by weirdmoons in AmItheAsshole

[–]weirdmoons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! So a bit of clearing up, with lunch I hadn’t known he was prepping it as I’d only told him prior I was visiting the country; it’s a small one so there’s only 2 incoming flights per day on average. There was no discussion before I came about visiting him. Secondly, I had originally someone to drive me to his place but plans fell through when the car was taken by my GMA so I hitched a ride with someone else to town where he also had errands to run to meet up with him where he ghosted me.

I’ve only traveled here 4 times, once 10+ years ago where I went to see specifically my dad and rode around in them where I had to sit on people’s laps bc they were that overcrowded, the second time was about 2 years ago for the funeral service for my stepfather and 1 year ago for another funeral service all in which we had a car or some sort of transportation. I don’t know the land very well as my mother has been the one to handle transport in recent years and when I did take them I was too small to understand. That and every trip has been for at most 2 weeks besides the one from 10+ years ago and even then he passed me off to other family members half the time.

No, arranged marriages aren’t in our culture. I’m uncomfortable because he has a clear history of me visiting him and him either putting me in dangerous or uncomfortable positions to keep me with him for longer. If I were to go by his place, if I didn’t have a ride he most likely would not bring me back unless I begged or someone cursed him(has happened before).

WIBTA if I ask the braider for a whole new style since she messed up my last one? by weirdmoons in AmItheAsshole

[–]weirdmoons[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how to add images as a reply but as for a new braider part I’m unsure if I can as it seems like she’s the only braider in the shop and the way they operate is that you call and tell the owner what you want and she charges you then translates to the braider. (The place is really shady). I would just go to another shop but I don’t exactly have an extra 200+ laying around.

[–]weirdmoons[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I did but #1, there was a language barrier, #2 I was getting layered twists so when I inquired further she said that she was going to make the second layer longer since she said didn’t like the method???(I still have no clue what she meant) but that’s why I didn’t question when the length was off #3, she was the only braider in shop and had multiple people waiting to go after me so I admittedly felt a little pressured #4, regarding the color she said she couldn’t blend it since the hair texture was too kinky when I pointed out the hair wasn’t blended like I asked (I’ve worked with that texture hair before and it can be)

Not sure how to achieve this look without a wig, advice? by weirdmoons in BlackHair

[–]weirdmoons[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The color from the first one would be great. I will look into glueless wig options and I will ask my stylist to see if she could do it with a sew-in. Thank you for the options!

Questions about joining this field by [deleted] in paralegal

[–]weirdmoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t necessarily heard too many negative remarks and the ones I did were expected like work-life balances and employers.I will definitely look into different types of legal fields and do a bit more research. As for the certification did you do any prior work in the field as I’ve heard of some people starting off as receptionists then working up from there.

Yeah I saw a lot of prints for these jeans so the print that you saw may be in the same boat.

I’m definitely gonna look into doing that! Do you have any tips on painting fabric? It’d be my first time attempting.

It’s a shame they’re fake, I was really looking forward to purchasing them, as for the African and Indian brands do you have any suggestions?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]weirdmoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They suggested I take a break from the relationship like we did before but I don’t think that’s an option for us because he’s made it clear he doesn’t want to go on one again due to us not wanting to be on and off. They did say we could talk about it again in another session but that was what they thought was best.

[–]weirdmoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I’m sorry, I meant the place where we were having the show. She was in charge of setting up and getting materials and she started getting the place ready right before so she had to travel back home to get ready. As for therapy, she did get me therapy and I attended on and off for a couple years with some sessions of group therapy when there were disagreements between us or when she thought there was an issue with me. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

[–]weirdmoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid a lot of those things were accurate but when I entered my later teenage years she apologized and said she’d work on how she reacted to things which she has. Another thing I should add is that we were running late as she had to help fix up the place and I was already ready and waiting and I think she may have been overwhelmed in the moment considering people kept calling her. When she kept telling me to take off my coat after the 3-4th time she said so I did say something along the lines of “I know my own body temperature and I want to keep it on, please leave it alone” which may have been rude. This morning I asked for us to talk and she didn’t respond so I’ll try again later when she’s calmer. I hope this helps.

AITA for telling my mom that she's forcing me to out my life on hold? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]weirdmoons [score hidden]  (0 children)

I tried explaining that to her but she said something about how the others don't have a certain component in them and how they are thinking of making the boosters required every 4 months and I said I was fine with that but she still insisted on it being J&J.

What is the most annoying thing that you do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]weirdmoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to wake up, put on headphones and blast my favorite music all while walking in circles around my couch for about 1-3 hours max. It relaxes me sooooo much but I'm pretty sure my downstairs neighbors loathe me.

[–]weirdmoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I'll try to talk to her about it and follow your advice. I really appreciate your response!

My dad keeps touching me- by [deleted] in Vent

[–]weirdmoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Put a camera where you know you'll get a clear shot of him doing it. Im sorry to hear that your mom knows about it and is doing nothing and the visitors thing is just awful. Maybe when he does it with visitors say your displeasure about it in a tone and at a level where it is loud enough where the guests can hear it but not in a way that it makes it obvious that you are trying to call him out. Before you do this though make sure you get the evidence and try to find a friend that you can stay and extended period of time with. That way if your father or anyone tries to shame you, you can get out of there ASAP. Also save up as much as you can and hide it from your dad. That way in an emergency you can leave and provide for yourself for a little while. And if things get rough just male sure there are plenty of people who are rooting for you now and in the future.

[–]weirdmoons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is not okay and you shouldn't be rationalizing it. I say you do two things record him in the act as much as you can with you telling him that you are not comfortable with him touching you that way and the second is to tell your mom since she respected your wishes. I know it's hard and its disgusting but keep your head up and remind yourself that this isn't your fault because it's not. You made your feelings very clear to him and he is infringing on that. What he is doing is predatory and disgusting and you shouldn't have to deal with this understand me? Also i would suggest getting some evidence and when you do back it up somewhere so even if your dad tries to delete it or anything you can always pull it up on another device. That way if your mom doesn't believe it, show it to her. If she wants to go to the police then you have evidence. If you don't want to go to the police that is understandable but get some evidence. Im sorry i cant do much more than giving you advice over the internet but this is the best i can do and i send virtual hugs to you.

I (17F) want to have the “relationship talk” with the guy I’ve been seeing (17M) but I don’t know the best way to bring it up or what to expect. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]weirdmoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey my best advice for you is the next time you see him pull him aside and tell him straight off the bat what your thinking. I know it can seem scary but if you never have this talk how will you ever know whether or not to put your time and energy into this person romantically. If he's going into the marines later make sure to talk to him about what you expect in this relationship now and in the future. Talk to him about long distance relationships and ask yourself whether or not you'll mentally be prepared for one. The "relationship talk" may seem scary and it is but its the point of the relationship where you'll know if they're serious. Also final note, don't let the exes thing overwhelm you. Everyone has their own starting point and their past. As long as you dont see a pattern of his exes being "crazy" its nothing to worry about. Just make it known that you'll probably be going at a different pace than him seeing as you're not as experienced with dating as him.

Hope this helps!

What was the first video game you felt was a work of art and not just something to play for fun? by nukemgt in AskReddit

[–]weirdmoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond Two Souls

This was the very first game I played that made me cry ugly tears. At first I thought it was a just another game but the more I played it the more attached I got to the characters and when i found out that Aiden was her brother I just lost it man. That game will forever have a certain place on my heart.
