Holy fuckin' poo poo I can't believe I have to say this but why are you guys defending a dude who used physical violence to discipline an animal that weighs maybe ten pounds what the gently caress is wrong with you

The husband is an animal abuser and I guarantee it's a matter of time before he seriously injures or kills the cat, or decides to put his hands on his wife when she says something that pisses him off. Dude has serious anger control issues and he uses violence to solve his problems. It's a matter of time before he escalates it.

loving goons. Jesus.

The correct way to discipline a cat is to annoy and bewilder them until they stop doing whatever it is you didn't want them to do, hoping that you'll never do that again. It's the fun way, anyway.

I'm going to side with the husband on this, I've had to put a dog to sleep after an unexpected injury and it loving sucks, it's awful. I have a feeling that he spared her some details about the injury, dogs hit by cars carely end up with just one broken leg that is easy to set. Like when I talk to people about my decision to put my dog to sleep because of an injury I typically leave out the part where the vet told me as I was covered in dog poo poo that the incontinence was likely permanent, that absolutely factored into my decision to put him to sleep.

There are two possibilities here, her partner had to make an emergency decision and informing his wife immediately would have not improved the situation, only made it worse or she married a giant piece of poo poo that killed the dog because he hated it in which case she needs to dump him.

Squirt guns are the ultimate cat disciplinary tool. Fun for you, not so much for the cat, but very effective. They hate getting sprayed and are easily smart enough to figure out they're only getting squirted when they're on the kitchen counter.

I think it's possible he did what he had to do and just horribly handled the communication with her. She's still on her vacation and is missing a ton of detail but he's either the worst at communicating or he's hiding something. Like I get not wanting to share the details if they're gruesome and having to make a decision in the moment, but holy poo poo how do you not call your wife right after? How do you not call her when you find the dog and are waiting for the friend to come over? There's just so many options that would have been so easy to do if everything was on the up and up that it's super suspicious.

Women have the reputation but when men get dramatic we really get dramatic

My (26/F) roommate and good friend (26/M) of twelve years left me a note a few days ago saying he�s in love with me, and he hasn�t come back to the apartment since.

quote:

We�ve known each other since the ninth grade. I had a bit of a crush on him in high school but it only lasted a week. While I think he�s attractive, and while we�re clearly very compatible in terms of living together, I�m not attracted to him and I don�t feel romantically towards him.

That said, he�s still very important to me.

We�ve been living together for just under a year. He brings girls home all the time, and had a girlfriend for a couple of months earlier this year (plus a few in the past). For those reasons, and because I�ve never sensed romantic feelings or attraction from him, the note took me by surprise.

He left it for me on the kitchen counter before going off to work. I read it, texted him within a couple of hours to ask if we could talk about it, and haven�t heard from or seen him since.

In the note he said that he�s in love with me and that he�s aware I don�t feel the same, and for that reason he wants to let me know just so he can finally get over me, and not worry me if there�s distance from his end.

I understand needing space.

But the thing is, he hasn�t been home in three days. None of our friends have heard from him either. He was meant to go to one of their birthday dinners last night, and didn�t show. Everyone was asking me where he was, and I didn�t know what to say. Out of respect for him, I didn�t tell them about the note. But it�s still really out of character for him to not be in contact with anyone, and to just not show up to someone�s birthday dinner without telling them ahead of time that he wasn�t going to be there.

At this point I�m really worried.

I�ve texted him twice, both of them brief.

I don�t really know what to do. Should I wait this out or should I try to establish contact just so I know he�s okay?

tl;dr He hasn�t replied to either of the texts I�ve sent him. I�m worried. None of our friends have heard from him. I don�t know what to do. Should I wait this out or should I try to establish contact just so I know he�s okay?

Refusing to give details, vague story that doesn't make sense, didn't go to a vet and had "a friend" do it... There was no car accident, he gave away or killed the dog.

Not that the guy is much better, but I'll be completely honest. If some animal is messing with your quality of life you just don't care what happens to it. It's like when a mouse is in your house and wakes you up a few hours after you went to sleep or wrecks some stuff. You just want that fucker gone. That guy definitely seems at that point with the cat, and I'm sure the op didn't mention a bunch of other stuff about why he hates the cat because she likes to treat her garbage cat like a 9 year old child.

My mom [40F] threatens to take away my [17F] depression medication whenever we fight. Is it abuse?Non-Romantic

quote:

Sorry if I don't give too many details, I'm exhausted and just want to get a grip on reality for a moment.

I've been having trouble going to class lately. It's my last year of high school and in my country I could do it at home, but my mom desperately wants me to be 'normal' and go to class and get a job like hers. (Which she hates, but she says 'life isnt supposed to make you happy, you have to give in')

This made me bitter against her since my psychiatrist has already said that I'm in no condition to attend school and a home option would be ideal. Despite all that, I keep being a straight A student no matter absences (which are excused, thanks to my psych) and have a long term boyfriend that I love, so I don't think I'd be sabotaging myself by just getting my grades without attending and going on with my life.

Anyway, today we fought about it and I said I hated her. She's constantly guilttripping with anyone in her life, can't keep a boyfriend, cries about no one liking her and has to be calmed down, and has a dead end job she was forced into by her own mom, and it feels like she wants me to be just as miserable. I pointed that out bluntly and she was livid, said she had no daughter, and threatened to throw away my medication. After a while of pleading from me she just left with my whole supply.

I know how my brain acts when I'm even a day without my antidepressants. I didn't want to go through that ever again, so I planned to be dead by the time she got home before realizing my boyfriend had just gone to sleep in his house and would be absolutely devastated if he wasn't here to stop me, since I was perfectly fine when he was still around and the fight hadn't started.

She got back, put my meds on the table and said she just wanted to show me I need her. I've been crying in my bed for hours, not suicidal anymore but I really feel like running away from home or at least never looking her in the face again. Am I being unreasonable? In the end it's literally just a bunch of pills vs the bond between mom and daughter, but shes always been like this and she knows im absolutely miserable without my meds and used it as a tool to humiliate and pacify me. Would a parent with a cancer patient child threaten to take away chemo because their kid didnt agree with them?

It's not the first time by the way. She did this two other times already, on the first she found me face down in our pool and on the other one I hid them and she ransacked the house to find them.

I lived with my dad for a while but he's been hit hard economically and can't support me, even though he's tried. I could live with my grandmom but involving her in this would mean permanently severing ties with mom. Bf has offered to take me in but I don't wanna depend on him and feel like a load, his life is already hard. Employment is not an option for the moment because I still have to study, and, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm too weak to do both at once. It's entirely my fault and I hate myself for it, but I want to focus on studies so I don't end up stuck for life.

tl;dr: Mom threatens to throw away and stop buying my medication whenever we fight and uses it as leverage. Is it abuse?

Milotic: Mar 4, 2009; 9CL apologist; Slippery Tilde

Boyfriend [25M] did something disgusting on his deceased brother's grave on his birthday. I'm a little in shock.

quote:

u/Antiferromagneticitt
I am 23F. His brother was 5 years older than him and died when he was 21 (9 years ago). We've been dating for 9 months. Yesterday was my boyfriend's 25th birthday.

He told me in the morning that he wants to go and pay his respects to his brother. I thought it'd be a difficult time for him, so I offered to come to offer support. He first declined but I insisted that I want to be there for him. He agreed.

When we got there it was already dark. He said something close to this: "25 years old, what do you say about that you piece of poo poo? I'm still standing and you're where you belong" then he looked around to make sure nobody is there, and then pissed on the grave and said "drink this, it's more than you deserve" and then said we should leave.

You can imagine my shock. I asked what that was about, he said that was him paying his respects to his brother, and that he'll be here next year too. I never knew about the history between them. I only knew that he had an older brother who had died. So I asked, and he said all I need to know is that he was a piece of poo poo. I didn't press.

I'm still in shock. Should I bring this up again? Or ask other people? This is something I can't just forget or pretend I didn't see. What do I do? I wasn't prepared for seeing that and I'm clueless right now. Please help.

tl;dr: Boyfriend, on his 25th birthday, pissed on his brother's grave and talked with joy about how he's alive and the brother is dead. I'm in shock.

Edit: I just texted him "Baby, I'm still a little in shock from what I saw last night. I don't want to pressure you at all. When you're ready, can you tell me what exactly happened between you and your brother? It can be as short or as long as you want. And I won't ask this again. I love you"

I feel like all those posts are saying the cat might be a dangerous animal to have around but aren't really advocating the dude chokeslam it. There's a p important distinction there, even a dog that bites people shouldn't be abused it just needs to be either sheltered or put down.
