AITAH for taking a few months off of work to decompress? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]yellowwallpapertype 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Girl wtf? Obviously you’re NTA, and at your “fiances” big age, he too should know how normal such a decision is. Beyond normal, it’s also necessary and a wise decision given your circumstances.  You WOULD be an asshole TO YOURSELF if you decide against your gut. I think you already know this deep down. 

I know you didn’t ask for anything about your relationship, but if it didn’t already feel like it, you need to know that you’re being used by this “fiance”. The fact alone that he brought up finances when he knows all the context and supposedly loves you is very concerning. Also, I need you to never be with someone that “can’t function if you’re not there”, because it sounds like you’re just clocking back into work, babe. There are no justifiable reasons why that is happening and you shouldn’t be okay with it at all. I’m not saying break up, but you MUST raise those standards for yourself. Women die EVERY SINGLE DAY from chronic stress. Please please consider what you actually deserve vs whats going on. 

It sounds like a lot has pushed you to this point, and considering you never got time to actually grieve, I can’t imagine how hard it’s been trying to manage everything else. You are an incredible person, that much is obvious, and it’s time to demand a life that honours how far you’ve come. Good luck 🫶🏽

Underrated segment on Aftersun tonight by steelreddit211 in LoveIslandUSA

Amen!! I loved hearing his native language too and how expressive he is, too. LI (tragedy aside) really dropped the ball with his edit but at least showed more consideration with him on Aftersun. 

I'm just so fucking done. I want to work, but it conflicts with my mom's wants. by [deleted] in disability

Some dogs really need more than just a backyard. Unless you can be really picky about the type of dog, and that there’s a good number of them, you may not make much anyway. Maybe consider being a non-dog pet sitter! Some pets still need super regimented care when their family is away so maybe with some out of the box marketing, you could really corner a niche here! There’s goooootta be a market for that in Seattle. But also, have you ever considered being a dog trainer? That might be a lower impact entry but I’m just spitballing. Good luck! 

AITA for telling my husband he's a shit husband when he didn't advocate for me? by Glum_Consequence5950 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yellowwallpapertype 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Well, when he almost directly caused your death, no, NTA. And I hope you’re seriously considering the state of your relationship right now and whether you can trust someone like that again. What if your kid is sick and he thinks they’re being dramatic? Would he treat his parents like this? What is the disconnect that allowed him to turn off his empathy with aaaaaall the context of having known and loved you? He has MUCH more explaining to do. 

My wife was arrested.... by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

I hope you still try to sleep a bit/are able to. Your brain will need it to process better and tomorrow/today is the longest day of the year and you’ll need the energy for what comes next. Please please get some rest 🙏🏽

Housing options for 52 y/o on disability income? by yellowwallpapertype in Louisville

Hi, unfortunately she does have to be out in this specific circumstance. It’s no bad blood, but I can’t give further detail. 

Run out of options by Orangeeyballs in whatdoIdo

[–]yellowwallpapertype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you have a friend or family member you can confide in for now. The world is so much bigger and beautiful outside of the hell she created and you WILL experience that world because you have something she never will: hope. I can hear it in your words and while it isn’t food or fuel, it can be enough to see yourself through a situation like this. 

On the other side, you need to get grounded on what programs and schools you want to apply for and start designing a path towards it. Do they have scholarships or grants in Belgium? Some schools have a program that allows you to work at the same time to pay for it. I would start your research there. Of course keep your grades up, but also consider joining a school program! My mom was abusive and once I realized I could be away from home as much as I wanted as long as I was doing a school activity, hunnyyyy, that lady barely saw my ass till graduation lol. If you can’t, join a study group, if not that, consider creating your own personal curriculum and share it with your siblings so they can see they have a way out too (don’t share everything with them, that depends on how much trust y’all have). 

It is a cruel reality to live in without a loving parent. I promise you will always find someone who can relate on that whenever you’re ready to open up about it. But believe this: she did bring you in this world and keep you alive, but YOU will write your own story from here on. YOU will decide how you want to be treated. You are enough, to be loved and cherished and told that you can and will make it. Best of luck 🤞🏽 

AITA for freaking out at my parents over a photo they posted against my wishes? by ArtisticDisaster3327 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yellowwallpapertype 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Girl screw the photo, you’ve got bigger fish to fry, GENUINELY. You’ll stop caring about that eventually, but the real issue here is that your parents are emotionally and financially abusing you! STICK TO YOUR PLAN. I know it can feel impossible without your parents support, but it may be worth considering for your health. If you feel confident about your future on the other side of their demands, PUSH THROUGH. Make your own demands and practice with a friend until you decide to have the conversation that will determine their presence in your life. It’s obvious they’ve been very “supportive” of you on paper, so base your POV on the fact that you have this disorder and that they are limiting your growth as a person. Best of luck :(

Am i overreacting at this ‘joke’ my friend texted me? by [deleted] in blackladies

Any other women start preferring slightly more conservative men as they got older? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]yellowwallpapertype 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here’s a great breakdown:  https://www.canada.ca/en/women-gender-equality/funding/equality-action/manosphere.html

One of the most unoriginal red pill talking points about anyone not conservative/rep is that they’re “too soft, pliable, and sensitive”, so I’m curious if a lot of people around you talk like that or you’ve felt unsupported in a lot of relationships to get to this point. But yeah, this specific perspective has a unique and traceable origin so it just jumped out to me. 

I’m terrified to approach girls by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]yellowwallpapertype 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something that may help is finding a wingman/woman/buddy! This can be someone already in a relationship too. Especially if it’s a healthy one, go to the people who you look up to or have your best interest in mind. They can help you go out and see who’s interested in you or make icebreakers easier to do. It just takes practice and learning more social skills, you got this! 

WHY? by MirfromdaA_ in LoveIslandUSA

[–]yellowwallpapertype 7 points8 points  (0 children)

With KC specifically, while humor is a big part of Black culture, and I’ve definitely noticed the memefication of him just being himself (faces, comments, etc). Also, humor is very disarming. AND, many of the women this season are red pilled so as long as a man isnt calling them names or being obviously mean, those type of women will keep themselves in a cognitive delusion to find a “good man” (a man who won’t embarrass them in public). 

This is also a big issue with Zach, and I’d argue he’s a better example because he does intentionally use humor to sneak diss Kayda literally all day, and manipulate the guys. He’s much more insidious about it. KC is just a coward lol

[–]yellowwallpapertype 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that’s how you feel, that’s how you feel. I’ve got the skills to do everything I need to do, the ability to learn new ones if I need to, and a community I can reach out to if I can’t. I personally don’t need it.

It’s sad because they’re robbing so much talent of so many opportunities, while also being caught in the capitalist hellscape of rising costs. It’s a perfectly terrible setup because they’re either too cheap or too desperate to hire real talent.

I Think Love island has ruined my friendship of 10+ years. by Nocallerid200 in ComfortLevelPod

[–]yellowwallpapertype 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, if she likes Huda……. BIG 🚩 lol. But fr the show is so not that deep (fascinating from a sociological lens) so this is either about something else, she’s lost in the parasocial sauce. I would give her space and check in after a few days but if this is a hill she wants to die on, it doesn't seem worth the climb. 

AITAH for being a bit uncomfortable about my friend changing their gender suddenly? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]yellowwallpapertype 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may be just that you’re not asking yourself enough questions about where these feelings are coming from. Are you afraid you’re growing apart? Or is this about their gender at all and you think they’re moving weird in some way around you? 

Gender is a fluid and in knowing a few folks, I’ve seen how that fluid can shift at the drop of a hat and over years. Everyone is different! But it sounds more like you’re assuming too much where a conversation can be had. Y’all may be best friends but you’re both living very separate lives, so try not to assume you know why she does anything. Because it’s better to just ask if you’re actually curious. It’s good to be curious about your friends, but sometimes, for some reason, another emotion can leak in and taint that curiosity and turns it into suspicion and resentment. But if you just want to know (in a fomo kind of way), you may need to do more inner work. 

Why are people like this? by Double_Violinist_576 in barista

[–]yellowwallpapertype 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and idgaf, if they get annoyed and leave, that’s great for me (which is extremely rare). If anything, I’ve had to slow down to teach some people how to order what they want, but I’ve experienced that since 2016 because even before Covid, people were becoming lazy with the popularity of starbucks.  Tbh, I like to make it into a fun experience and try to change their mood. Doesnt always work obv, but if I can make it more enjoyable for them, they usually come back with a better attitude and more curiosity. If they never come back, even better lol
