I guess it makes sense that you wouldn't know the difference if you literally never used them, cared about them, or gave them the slightest thought beyond "lady thing for girl eyeball". It's just so strange to me that somebody wouldn't know what they were it borders on hilarious. Like there are ads for these things all over the place? Well, I still don't really know what a jock strap is so

My [27/F] Mother [58/F] is going crazy with religion and I just want my funny, witty mom back

quote:

u/Coyena

My mother has always thought the world was ending. She almost has two sides: one very witty, funny, sarcastic, and great to be around side, and the other crazy, abusive, manipulative side.

To give a short background on her: She and 3 siblings grew up with an incredibly abusive father [deceased] (he would disconnect the battery in their car so they had to walk to church with their Sunday dresses on with my Grandma [deceased].)

My Grandpa always told her he hated her the most and would only leave her a dollar in his will, and he did. He sold the family diamonds for booze. He would take their allowance away for "being too loud" or some other crappy reason, and they would all have to suck up to him to get it back. She eventually told him to keep it, and she went and got a job babysitting for money. He hated her since because he couldn't control her.

My mother has been similarly verbally abusive to my sister [24F] and I [27F] growing up. Don't get me wrong, she's my mom and we both love her. She did guide us well as children but our teen years could be rough when she got into her "moods".

She was incredibly close to her mother, who passed away when I was 10 years old. She had a very hard time with it. She mourned for days. I think this was the true start of her going over the top with religion. She began to see "black shadows" while mourning and a Priest told her she had to stop because it was drawing these beings to her. She had a rosary turn to gold (at least in color- I've seen it.) that was given to her by her mother. Cool.

Since then, she has spiraled downward and away from reality. During our teen years, she occasionally called us "Satan" during arguments. (this did not affect me like it affected my sister: there are make-up stains on her carpet in the room she grew up in because she would curl up on the floor and cry and her mascara would melt and stain the carpet.) Mom would tell us we hated her and that she failed to raise us right. She would turn molehills to mountains. She would really tear us down verbally and emotionally.

Fast forward to the present: I live states away, and my sister does too. Whenever we go home to visit mom and dad, mom starts out great but eventually loses it and yells or goes off the deep end about something random. She has started reading "Catholic Mystic" blogs from people who claim that God talks to them. She believes these 100% and thinks that we will not have another "sitting president" and that the collapse of various governments is coming before 2017 because one of these mystics said so. I can't post their websites per policy, but you can google these "mystics" if you want: Mark Mallett And Charliej373

Every conversation I have with her, no matter how it starts, will eventually turn to how "I've told you to stay in a state of grace and this is what we deserve and God knows I raised you the best I could but you don't want to do your Confirmation and what did your father ever teach you about God? His family never had any guidance and just believes "everything will be alright"

Speaking of my father [69M]: he has been the absolute best dad anyone could wish for. He was always an anchor of logic in the storm my mother created. He is so laid back (I think I inherited that from him) and always provided a calmness and told my mother when she was being crazy. To which she responded by figuratively strapping a bomb to herself and blowing herself up by crying and becoming a victim. She also says "Your father never backed me up when I punished you as a child so it's his fault you turned out this way"

Dad is still our safety net. I spoke to him the other day when mom was on one of her kicks. He's told us, "I believe something may be wrong with her mentally" and "Her mother was the exact same way. She will never admit she's wrong and logic doesn't work on her when she's set her mind. The best thing is to just let it go." He has held us while we cry over something mom said or did. He has taken us from the environment completely and gone for a drive with us while mom cooled down. He really always has been the best. My parents are still married because my dad is a saint.

I think my mother has a martyr complex and she fails to see how un-christian it is to torture your family. She routinely says she loves "her Lord" more than any of us. If we argue, she thinks it goes right in line with the passage in the Bible about Jesus returning:

"Luke 12:51-53English Standard Version (ESV)

51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."

She spends the majority of her time in front of the computer obsessively reading these stupid blogs. When shes not on the computer or at work, she is in church. She attends mass and adoration probably 3-5 times a week.

My questions are: How do I best deal with this? I can't argue with her because she really digs her heels in and just escalates things (yelling, threatening, and then playing the victim) until you give in. I have a 3 month old baby that she adores and I just want her to be a normal grandma. Do you think she has a brain tumor or early stage Alzheimer's or Bipolar disorder? If so, how do I convince her to see a doctor? She trusts and will do what our family doctor suggests, but how do I convince her she needs to see him? She will usually listen to a Priest but most often she will find one in some online forum that agrees with her and will stick to that one. How can I make visits peaceful? How can I get her away from these online fortune tellers? I have mentioned before that it says in the Bible not to consult fortune tellers, but she just replied with "He's been investigated by the Church" so she thinks he's legit now.

Oh, something I forgot to mention: she had breast cancer that was caught in time and healed, but she has blamed us for giving her cancer in one of her fits. She has also suggested that Mary gave her a cross to bear with the cancer in order to help someone she has prayed for. The bout with cancer drove her deeper into her religion.

tl;dr: My mother has slowly been going crazy my entire life and I think she's finally going too far. She thinks the world is going to end and consults online fortune tellers. She is verbally and emotionally abusive to my sister and I and I just want my old mom back.

Yes, that's what I was saying. They have subtle differences but they're the same category of thing, so I wouldn't expect people to be able to tell the difference. Like I don't expect everyone to discourse on pencil vs. gel eyeliner, just to know that eyeliner is a category of thing that exists.

If you attach it to yourself with the stickyside then it’s kind of a toxic shock fishbowl so obviously better than a tampon.

I have a sports bra that has a stretchy elastic band so it's clearly meant to be pulled on over your head but it also has a clasp in the back that is useless because you're just supposed to pull the bra on over your head. Who the gently caress thought of that one?

Yes, there is a device (maybe just a proof of concept, don't know if it was ever sold) you can insert into your vagina. It's full of angled barbs designed to keep it from being removable by the owner of the penis it's stuck to.

I think I would actually be too afraid of being murdered by an enraged rapist thwarted by the inverse cat dick stuck to his penis to use it.

I have no mouth and I must post
Me (28F) with my husband (30M) - he never puts effort into doing things unless I ask, and is king of "I bought this for you for me.

quote:

Together three years, married six months. I figured we'd still be in the honeymoon phase.

My husband is bad at gift giving. But before everyone piles on - this isn't about receiving gifts. This is me asking how I can get him to put in EFFORT to make me feel valued.

I mention the gift thing because it's the most recent issue that makes me feel undervalued.

Examples:

For my birthday, my husband got me a football jersey from his favorite team. I openly dislike football.

For Christmas, my husband got me a t-shirt from a videogame I don't even play, but he does. I play plenty of games, he just chose one that I literally cannot play. (Overwatch gives me a massive headache due to an eye issue and all the jumping around)

When he says he doesn't know what to give me or do for me, I give him lots of low budget ideas. Oh! I need a new travel mug! Here's a cute one for under ten dollars. Oh, I'd love a new pair of gloves! Mine have holes in them. It'd be so sweet if you picked out a pair, I love purple! Oh man, there's this movie I really really want to see, maybe you could take me some time for a date! I'll buy drinks after!

Lately I've been working extra hours at work, and my husband is always home before I am. I've asked him several times to "pick a few things up" around the house before I'm home, letting him know that I've been super stressed and it would be so nice to not have to take care of extras when I'm done. I always come home to him on the computer and nothing touched.

I've even texted him in the middle of the day to ask what he's up to and he'll say something like "Cleaning like you asked between bouts of Heroes of the Storm!" But it's clear nothing has been picked up. He has different days off than me so he's literally home for a minimum of 8 hours without me around, and never gets things done because it's his day off.

On the flip side, I always take my day off to tidy up, meal prep and just generally make things nice. When he's stressed I try to do something a little extra, like pick up a donut on my way home from work. He always tells me how great it makes him feel and how he appreciates it.

I sit and watch football without playing on my phone because I know it's important to him. I'm a book nerd, but I play videogames with him for HOURS because I know that's what he likes best.

So Valentine's Day is coming up. I have openly communicated to him that I don't care if he spends zero dollars on me. It's our first Valentine's day as a married couple, and I want to at least do something. I've told him DIRECTLY TO HIS FACE that all I want is for him to pick an activity. I will pay, drive, do whatever if he just makes a PLAN.

This has come up in advance because I'm working on a cute gift for him. He and I used to be high school sweethearts, and I kept all the notes we passed and am turning them into a little book. I'm also getting him an Overwatch wallet. He saw me being secretive about a project and I told him it was his V-Day gift.

He went on to say how good I am at giving gifts (I knocked Christmas out of the park) and how bad he is. I doubled down on saying I don't care about a store bought gift, it just makes me feel so good when he puts in effort. And then I repeated all the things he could do: Make any sort of plan! Take me to this exact movie that I want to see! We've been talking about a day trip to City, let's go! Pick a place to go to dinner and I'll pay for it! Take me on a walk in some area that YOU choose! Clean the apartment without me having to ask you!

He tells me those are all good ideas, "But it's hard." I ask what is hard, and he says "buying gifts and picking stuff to do."

I don't know what else I can do, since I'm literally spelling it all out for him. I just want him to pick something and do it without me needing to take the wheel for the whole thing. Any advice on getting him to understand that I need to feel some sort of effort from him in this? I don't know how I can be more direct. I've LITERALLY said, "It would mean the absolute world to me if you just put some effort towards these things without me needing to ask you."

Also I'm not knocking playing videogames for 8 hours on your day off. Just, can't you do laundry or dishes in between? And he DOES get a lot of time to play during the week, at least 2-3 hours a night. No exaggeration.

EDIT: Since I caught some flack, let me highlight that I watch football every weekend with my husband, and play videogames with him each and every night. It's not that I'm refusing to enjoy the things he does.

EDIT 2: We did the whole "love languages" test in pre-marital counselling and found out we're both touchy people. We used to cuddle and watch shows, or just sit and talk. But now that he wants to game 90% of the time, I can't cuddle up to him while he's in a computer chair. Or hold hands while he's busy with the mouse and keyboard. Also the sex has dropped off, because if I say "come snuggle with me in the bedroom" he says it's really unsexy and that he wants foreplay, not me to flat out ask for sex. But I can't make out with him and cuddle when he's in a computer chair. I've tried sitting in his lap before and he'll usually say, "Babe I'm in the middle of Hearthstone."

EDIT 3: I do have my own hobbies and am out of the house at least three days a week either seeing friends or babysitting my nieces, etc. So when I'm home it hurts more to be like, "Oh, I was gone all day yesterday and you were on the computer. I'm home all day today and you're still on the computer."

TL;DR: I put in a lot of effort to make husband happy, especially for holidays and stressful times. I ask husband to do the same and instead he plays videogames or watches football for 10 hours a day. How do I get through?

My [25M] GF [23F] and her friends keep referencing and insulting my height and it's annoying me.

quote:

For context I'm a 5'4" tall guy while she's 5'2".

I've been single till now, tried dating in college but didn't have any success there from a combination of low self-esteem and engineering work. After college I started working and I first met my GF at a friend's party a few months back and we seemed to hit it off well. Everything was going good between us two but she'd always make some comment about me not being able to reach the shelves or how small my clothes were. I'm aware of how tall I am and just banter back whenever this happened. What has me a little annoyed is that whenever we are together in public with her close friends they don't hesitate bringing my height into about any conversation. Usually it's tiny things like "didn't know small guys could eat cinnabon buns" with giggles but every once in a while (especially when she and her friends are plastered drunk) I'll encounter bigoted nastiness about short people, Asians, unattractiveness, and how she's lowering her standards too much for someone like me. The last time this happened I straight up told her we were leaving the group for the night but she refused saying that I was just being too serious and that everyone's just having fun and it's just girl talk amongst her friends. I ended up leaving because she just agreed with them several times just to get the night flowing and wouldn't shut the topic down. After she came back she was ticked off that I didn't want to be there and when I mentioned that I was uncomfortable from the insults she said "well they do have a point about you, can't be tall like their BFs anyways" which led to our first fight.

I've been the target of pointed remarks like these many times which adds some difficulty as to how much of a dealbreaker this type of situation is. I'm not going to go all /r/short or whatever on the people who tell me these things, but it's been happening many times with her friends to where I'm starting to doubt compatibility, not withstanding that she doesn't really stand up against them but joins in if these comments come up. She either thinks it's nothing important, something I should ignore because "well they're just curious," or doesn't believe that I should be annoyed over those remarks because deal with it. There doesn't really seem to be anything wrong elsewhere in the relationship but she refuses to entertain the idea that it's annoying and causing friction between me and her friends. It's going into problem territory because it really does feel like her friend's don't want me around or that she doesn't want me around her friends, both significant problems. Don't really know what to do.

TL;DR GF friends keep making fun of height and they won't shut up about it even if I mention the casual insults are getting old.

short is the worst thing a guy can be

Are people really explaining how tampons work? Don't you have loving Google? Did you not learn in high school either? This is basic poo poo that everyone should know.

I obviously know how tampons and pads work, I just didn't understand what difference could they possibly have that would warrant a mother saying "pads yes, tampons no".

Eyeliner is a pencil applied around the eye near the eyelashes and eye shadow would typically be applied over a larger area with a brush between the eye and eyebrow.

Women have to know everything about men to take care of them, men don’t bother learning anything to help out in the other direction.

lol if in tyool 2018 you are still using a pencil eyeliner instead of gel eyeliner and a small angled brush
