My [15M] brother [21M] scared his daughter [4F] who lives with us with the a super scary mask. She keeps running to my room in the middle of the night when she's scared

Hi Reddit, I'm sorry if this is minor and don't know if this is the right place. It's 6:50 am In Australia right now and I have not been able to sleep since 4 am.

My niece is in the custody of my mother because my brother and his wife should have never be allowed to breed. They thought it was a good idea to have meth while their daughter was around. Various other problems and my niece lives with my mom, sisters and I. We are all in high school or secondary college as it's formally called here.

My mom is a nurse and she usually works nights. My brother back when he used to visit his daughter, he has ran away to Perth with his wife. Have not heard from them in months. I am the only man in the house and this is the issue I currently face. My brother scared his daughter by hiding in her room with the most terrifying mask I have ever seen. It was an old man that looked like he was scalping himself, ripping off the top layer of skin on his face. He got it off some hollywood effect mask sight so it was super realistic.

It's just me she does this too, She comes into my room, climbs under my blankets and shakes me saying "Uncle Roman" again and again. At least 3 times every night. Shes scared the monster is in her room every night despite me checking numerous times.

I sometimes can't get back to sleep and I don't know what to do

tl;dr: Niece keeps waking me up in the middle of the night to check for monsters

I cheated on my girlfriend with porn. In the beginning of the relationship when things got serious, we both agreed that porn would be infidelity and I promised not to ever look at it. I felt embarrassed that I had, and lied to her that I ever had looked at porn. When I did, and I had quite frequently, I was the worst thing I had ever done. She has had issues with trust with men in the past, and has had a lot of poo poo happen to her in her life. Her mother is an awful manipulative person, and her brother have been just as much, and physically. And it has left a lot of emotional scars for her.
I had no problem with this going into the relationship and accepted things for what they were. It never bothered me. Her family fought me tooth and nail, but we prevailed and moved into together. Of course, 2 years into the relationship, she discovered the porn in my history. This caused an explosive reaction. For good reason she was very upset that I had betrayed her trust. After a few months talking about it and working through it, we decided to stay with the relationship. Ever since then though, she has had an emotional episode every other week.
This didn't bother me at first. I told her it was okay she felt like this, and that it would take time for us to rebuild the trust in me. We'd talk about it, kiss and everything was good. But it just got worst.
She started to accuse me of never loving her, and now always brings up how everyone in her life has betrayed her and she cant trust anyone. I have always been there for her in everything else, any time she needed me. But for the past 2 years its been a emotional rampage every other week of how she has been wronged.
This didn't bother me, until recently when she was being very mean. Insulting me and calling me names, I explained to her that she cant talk to me that way, and if she is mad and needs reassurance to tell me so without calling me names or passively taking low blows from past mistakes.
This has made me feel so emotionally spent. Its now happening every other day and I cant find the energy to spend reassuring her anymore, now I get mad and irritated at the same things being brought up. I feel horrible because I understand her background and abuse, and when its good its REALLY good! But now its a matter of when not if she explodes on me.
I don't know how to get the energy to be here for her any more emotionally, I feel myself shutting down and ready to throw in the towel. What can I do to get my energy back and stop feeling so frustrated?
TL;DR: Great relationship I nearly wrecked with porn. Two years later, the horse has been beaten into nuclear fusion and I cant find the energy to work it out with her anymore.

Thank you all for your criticism. I really needed to have a perspective. I understand that I argued a lot of your points and it may have seemed that I wasn't listening or willing to. I can assure all of you that answered me that I was simply making sure that with out a doubt, 100% that I wasn't in the wrong. That I wasn't the crazy one. And again, thank you for answering my questions honestly
I know a lot of you consider porn, as not cheating. I understand this and I know that some consider it as exaggerated that it is. Still, at the beginning an agreement is an agreement. I promised I would not, and I broke a promise, and that is my bad. But I also understand now thanks to you guys, that her reaction is beyond reasonable and it has. to. stop.
Last night I told her that we had to talk, and as chocked up as I was, I told her that I can not go on like this, that all this betrayal and accusations have to stop. I was honest and told her that I was thinking of breaking up, and if there wasn't a change, and if she couldn't forgive me, at least control her emotions, that this relationship was never going to work.
She freaked out, and got stuck on the word "break up" but I assured her that I didn't want to, I was just on the edge of it and about to give up, and I really feel liked it clicked in her. We had a very honest conversation and she forgave me, and promised she would never bring it up, and would control her feelings better.
I know a lot of you said, break up, it would be better. But I have always been a 110%, and I know now without a doubt, if it continues to happens, it is time to move on. I have heeded your warnings. If, this continues to happen, I will begin making other living arrangements, and moving on with my life.
Again thank you so much.
TLDR; had an honest conversation that I was done and ready to break up if there wasn't a change and now. She said she forgave me and wont bring it up anymore. However if she does, we understand the relationship is over.

I (27f) went through a miscarriage and was homeless for a time, my fiance disappeared and most of my family turned me away, now that I'm doing okay everyone has suddenly reappeared and is apologetic, what do I do?
u/throwawaybrokengal1y
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. 5 years ago I got pregnant, as the final semester in college was coming to a close. It was for the guy I'd been with since I was 17, he'd proposed the previous Christmas. I told him and a couple weeks later he was gone. He came from a rich family and they sent him off to some family elsewhere. The family members of his that I did know deleted and blocked me online and I had no way to contact him again, not even his friends at college knew, some of whom were my friends.

Word got out that I was pregnant and those same 'friends' all were saying it couldn't have been his and that's why he left. So I did the last thing I wanted to do, turn to my family, I loved them but they're extremely religious and getting pregnant without being married is something they view as being sacrilegious. I was called all sorts of horrible poo poo, my own brother told me I shouldn't have acted like such a whore. I got no help there. So there I was, 22 years old, pregnant, with a lovely job, I finished uni but continued working and without my fiance or family's help, my meager salary wasn't enough, I was homeless for awhile, slept in alleys and shelters, barely being able to feed myself.

I ended up having a miscarriage. I tried to kill myself after that. Somehow, I managed to pull myself together with the help of a friend who'd been away, she gave me a place to sleep and helped me get back on my feet. I've been working a good job for the past 3 years, I make a good sized paycheck and my university debt is almost paid off. I have some money saved up in my account and will be purchasing a place all for myself soon.

However, I'm pretty much a shell of who I used to be, it's the same eat work swim sleep repeat life for me. I haven't dated in a long time, haven't been intimate in a little over 2 years. I'm terribly lonely and yet this life is okay for me. I don't trust people anymore, I don't bother to go out and make friends, I have a couple people I'm good with and that's okay, I guess.

Recently though, my ex fiance reappeared, through a message online telling me he was so sorry for leaving me and he panicked and would like to get to meet up some time. He says he knows what he did was the worst thing he could have possibly done but he'd like a 2nd chance to make it up to me.

My parents and siblings have also reached out over the past few months, all expressing sorrow, regret and wanting to be in my life again and saying they want me in theirs.

I'm just really confused about what to do?

Personally I use any chance my pants come off to do my best axl rose impression

quote:

Me [23 F] with my coworkers/acquaintances [usually F] pick on me, but I don't know how to be assertive

I'm petite, 5'2", 85 pounds, shy, quiet, look like I'm 12, and look like an easy target for bullies. I work two jobs, one is gig-based, and the other is coffee/retail.

Evidently, it's because they think that I will not fight back, but I really just don't want to start fights. I don't feel any need to be mean to others, or too greedy (at gigs, we sometimes get free stuff), etc. One coworker (at the retain job) said that I am like a tea kettle

So, I've been told that the reason why some women pick on me is because I am cute and that they are mad/jealous. I get along with guys just fine, while out on gigs, or even at my other job, I guess you can say that guys sometimes pay attention to me-- though I don't notice because I'm too busy working and I first think that they are just being friendly.

I keep to myself nearly all the time, I do my work, don't talk too much.. I don't really get it.. guys are like, who on earth would dislike you!, some vendors/clients compliment me for my work, my bosses are pleased with me.. I wear a hat with cat ears on it because it is cold, and it is my only beanie-type hat... I have a pair of doc martens and a pair of ST cowboy boots, I don't think that I dress like a new-hire (they usually wear bramha/similar looking shoes or tennis shoes.. you can spot the different ranks fairly easily if you pay attention)

When the bossing around first starts, I usually don't mind it-- I'm working. Sometimes I don't listen to them which makes it worse. Sometimes I was already about to do what they just told me to do.. sometimes they think I don't know what I am doing, but I do, they don't. But then they continue and say stupid things (ex. takes one to know one, I didn't see you bring that to this site, it is mine) Maybe I just need to get better at undenyable phrases (ex. I bought that tape/the boss gave it to me to keep, give it back that is MY tape) -- but even these are ignored by them.

Examples:

Today, my coworker was being rude to me, bossing me around, and snatched my roll of gaff off my arm/wrist and stole it from saying that it was hers the entire time which was completely false, but I wasn't going to get into a fight over some tape (although expensive tape..). Nothing I said went to her head. She would just say, what if I need to use tape, I have it, got in my face about having it and would flat out ignore me/boss me around unnecessarily.

Another co-worker was passive-agressive and wanted to do everything herself, didn't say anything, our group was supposed to stick together but didn't-- they left me and I got lost and ended up walking for 40 minutes trying to find the provided lunch site-- which was out of food when I got there and only half an hour left of lunch, which included walking back to where I came from. This one smoked while working every second she could get--to the extent of being able to smoke that much--also not allowed.

Another coworker at a different job (coffee/retail) would get into fights with me about all sorts of things: insisted I did things wrong, accused me of not following standards, would always redo what I did, etc. She bad mouths me to everyone, including customers. I take one step into the store, she immediately sees me, the door is barely closed and I can hear her talking poo poo. I've caught her insulting me, and I told her that I didn't appreciate it and to stop. But she won't. She is the type of person who posts things like, gosh why can't these people say things to my face why do you need to go make fb posts etc. (or something similar.. I'm not good at expressing it) I think that it has been a year and a half-- since she started working there. My boss is making me second guess myself, and I feel like I am imagining things and it's making me uncertain of myself. Recently, this co-worker started screaming at me, making demands that I talk to her in the corner, would follow me to scream at me, got a customer to scream at me, and "keep an eye on me" on later dates. I submitted incident reports, but I am not sure that the boss even submitted them.

In college, my roommate A was out to get me.. she hated me because of my supposed cuteness. She bad mouthed me to a high school friend, B, who decided that she was better than me (to which she admitted), and stole away my then boyfriend. My roommates/that group knew more about the drama than me. I became an outcast in college.. When talking with A, one of her defenses was, "takes one to know one" and other illogical things..

tl;dr: Coworkers boss me around and/or rude to be mean, being stern does not work because they seem illogical? and they don't listen to anything I say... how do I get this to stop?

I forgot to text him back that week and we haven't talked since and yesterday he called me with a little attitude he said "I've been trying to call you all day we could've been chilling together all day ," then he asked
"what are you doing right now" and I said "I had to work" and he said "what happened to me coming over your house a weeks ago " and I said " I forgot when I got off of work I was tired" and he said
"you're always working, you mean to tell me you've been working weeks straight that you couldn't have seen me" and then I said " I texted you and you didn't text back"
and he said "Kara you did not text me and I called you 100 f*cking times" and then he hung up on me

So I've been with Ryan for five years. We've had our ups and downs but I really do love him and was counting on marrying him.
We've always been very non traditional. We had talked a lot about marriage and since we were both through school with decent jobs I figured we were both on same page and ready to move it to the next step. I figured I would propose to him.
So on Superbowl Sunday we pretty much had every single one of our good friends over (total of 13 people). I had talked with each one of them and told them what I was planning on doing and to a person all were very excited to be a part of it.
I waited for a very slow part of the game, no good commercial, no half time...i.e. basically I was trying to be considerate to him (he's a huge Pats fan) so right before the end of the first half I asked him to stand up with me in front of the TV and the group.

He did, I made a little speech about having all our friends over and this is the perfect time to say to you and all our friends that I want to marry you.
I got on one knee and asked him "Ryan, will you marry me?" And I opened a ring box and tried to grab his hand.

Instead he took his hand, mimicked a "blow job" motion up to his mouth and then said "sure babe, but right now I gotta poo poo."

I was DEVASTATED (still am) I thought I did everything right. This was in front of all of our friends. I was serious. It was on a night he was enjoying.
I immediately got up and ran to our room and started crying. All my girl friends ran with me. Well to my amazing luck, he apparently still thought I was joking and then the game got "good" and he decided to watch the rest of the game instead of coming to check on me or even find out what was going on.
Four days later, he still doesn't seem to think he did anything wrong. I've tried to talk to him about it and his only excuse has basically been "Seriously? I thought you were joking. Take it easy. I'll marry you. Whatever."
Obviously, I've seen a side of him where making his joke is more important than me. Watching the game was more important than me. And his stupid excuse is more important than apologizing to me.
Is there any recovery from this?

tl;dr: I proposed to my boyfriend in front of all of our friends. He chose to embarrass me and make a joke out it. He still has not really apologized and I'm doubting my future now. Thank you for reading.
