I feel bad for the girl. When I was a teenager I had a superiority/inferiority complex about my intellect and got the ever-loving poo poo kicked out of me, rightfully so. It looks like this woman is going through something similar. No matter what form it takes the hammer is going to drop on her very hard and absolutely no one is going to have any sympathy.

I fell into that same trap too. When you're like 14-15 and a bunch of tests from the magic science men tell you you're in some top percentile of the population it's easy to start believing in your own superiority. And the only real cure for it is for everyone around you to drop your ego-inflated rear end like the dead weight it is. It absolutely sucks at the time because of course you're just oh so smart and all the normal apes around you will never understand but you come out a better person at the other end.

My husband (37) throws trash on me (33)
submitted an hour ago by TrashWoman444

We've been together 11 years, married 3.

He has thrown trash on me in the past and I've told him it bothers me and to stop.

This morning he kept doing it and I told him very calmly "please stop putting trash on me". He told me it's what I deserve.

He kept doing it and I said calmly "don't put trash on me. It's disrespectful." He laughed at me and kept doing it.

Then he threw trash and it went past me and he said "oops I missed I was trying to hit you."

I got up and left the room And picked up all the trash to throw it away. While I was in the kitchen I could hear him in the living room laughing to himself, saying "I don't care."

I don't know what to do.

Tldr: my husband puts trash on me.

I feel bad because this girl is in her early 20s, doesn't have a driver's license, and having trouble in University classes. When the bottom falls out she's going to get hurt a hell of a lot worse than a hormonal 16 year-old living at home with far fewer people willing to help her pick up the pieces. You kind-of expect that ego redefinition when someone is a teenager; when they're in their 20s no one gives a gently caress and she's going to have to work fast food for a few years just to break even. It's justifiable karma, I suppose, but in a way as tragic as someone falling into drugs or crime.

Well yeah he was insecure because he knows he's got poo poo-all to bring to the table except his "potential" so that's all he leans on. You need a combination of social and practical skills to get anywhere in life and he was smart enough to know that but not disciplined enough to do anything about it. I'm speaking from experience-- that's an ironically specialized layer of hell.

I will try to keep this as short as possible. Names changed for privacy.

Sister: Bertha Mother: Hilda

So this happened a couple weeks ago. I am currently living with my parents so that way I can save money while going to school and working full time. They actually suggested it to me and it seemed like a good idea at the time. My sister lives with her husband and is 18 weeks pregnant. Me, my mom, dad, and boyfriend, 22M Bob, moved the last little bit of furniture and boxes a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday. Once we were done Bob and I went to get food from a take out place in town. We had a fight that really is not important to that story and decided it was best to cool off so I went to my room when we came back and he went on a walk. Well my parents and sister decided they needed to know all the details so I ranted about what was going on and they claimed I did not love him since I fought with him and I am a loser living with my parents. So I got pissed and told them gently caress it I will move out then and went upstairs.

This is when things got stupid and ridiculous. My mom comes in the room and want to talk to me. I told her I need space that I am too mad to talk and to give me space. Well she decides she does not want to and just keeps screaming at me. I got really anxious and told her if she will not let me leave I will leave through the window. I just wanted out even though leaving through the window probably was not the smartest decision. She is still screaming at me saying I am going to kill myself, out of 2 story window with a shed not even a foot away from my window but whatever. I start to leave through the window because I got anxious and scared. Again not the smartest but hey cannot change that now. Well my sister Bertha decided that she wanted to pull me out of the window by my hair. I already have a bad back and that hurt like a mother fucker. So I pushed her onto my bed and tried to leave through my door because I finally had a clear path. That is when my mom grabbed me to stop me and my sister starts punching me in the head over and over again. So I try to get her off me and my mom grabs my neck to get me "off" of her. So then my mom has my neck and my sister starts to smother me with her hands. I still do not know why she decided to do that but I bit the poo poo out of her hands to get away and after I did that she kicked and hit me some more. I quickly grabbed my purse with my phone got my keys and ran.

So after all this they claim I started the attacking and was punching her. I took pictures of my bruises and how my hands were not even bruised from any punching. They finally admitted that Bertha started the attacking but claimed it was for "my own good". I told both my parents I want nothing to do with her. She is abusive she has always hit me. Well my mom does not like that. She says I need therapy and that I am a violent person. She has gone back and forth on whether she is going to kick me out. Told me I am a hateful person and tried to get Bob to break up with me. Told me Bob's parents hate me and cry at the thought of us getting married. Told me that my Grandfather hates me now.

Thankfully a lot of what she said about Bob's parents were a lie and Bob is on my side and protecting me. But I am worried I did actually gently caress up. Do I need therapy because I got angry enough to want to leave? Should I have let her hit me and not touched her since she is pregnant? What makes things worse in my opinion is they told me not to go to the doctor when I had signs of concussion saying I was either going to be put in a psych ward or to jail. Yet they took Bertha to the hospital to check the bite. Now my symptoms are worsening and I am going to the doctor to get it checked. My mom says it is due to stress and lack of sleep not due to being punched in the head repeatedly. I have headaches every day, my short-term memory is poo poo right now, and I get dizzy every now and then.

What should I do? I am really confused.

tl;dr: My sister hit me and my mom is making it seem like I will go to jail or psych ward if I get medical attention. What should I do?

My [25 M] wife [25 F] of 4 years gets angry whenever I fart. (This is a relatively light post.)
I don't think there's anything medically wrong with me, I just fart sometimes, usually when I'm not paying attention. My wife - who has yet to fart in front of me - gets upset whenever this happens. Today she asked me to leave the room when I have to fart because she thinks it's repulsive and doesn't want to hear it. She accused me of doing it on purpose. Sometimes I fart in my sleep and she wakes me up to scold me for it. She wants me to get out of bed and go to the bathroom to fart. How am I supposed to even know that's about to happen?? I'm sleeping!

I realize this sounds like I made it up, but I didn't. She's a southern girl, raised to be proper and polite and I'm a northeastern "redneck." I have a very gross family that jokes about farting, boogers, sex and all kinds of things that make her very uncomfortable. I don't want her to lighten up, I just want her to be less angry with me when I have a normal bodily function.

Is this normal? Am I overreacting? I just don't like when she's upset with me. I admittedly laugh when she freaks out about this and that makes it worse.

tl;dr: Wife is proper, I'm disgusting and "troll-like" according to her, she gets angry when I fart.
