Twenty five years old and just flat out has absolutely no idea how interpersonal relationships work, smdh.

I guess when he starts dating someone else she can dump him for cheating on her.

I don't claim to know anything about the struggles of having ADHD, and it's entirely fair if he is somewhere in the process of getting a diagnosis or treatment, I just bristle, personally, at the notion that you're doing everything you can, when there's a big, obvious action to take to address your issues. If he managed to get into treatment, it would better not only this relationships, but every relationship he has. Even if it doesn't pan out, making the first effort and keeping his girlfriend in the loop will let her manage her expectations, rather than be with a guy who consistently promises and fails to do things of which he is not capable.

If you think you have a disability which negatively impacts you and those around you, trying to address it head on is a much better solution than whatever workarounds you can muster, and probably less of an effort or emotional drain than the constant failures.

That's how I felt about it...it's one thing to get mad because your sibling doesn't wanna get you alcohol, it's another for both the parents & brother to keep putting pressure on, then get all pissy when they don't get their way. Especially the parents "just deal with it" attitude & response to her after the brother called, that's some lazy-rear end garbage to put on your kid when you don't wanna do something out of fear of making your kids hate you.

AITA for wanting to get a numbered tattoo on my arm as remembrance for a Holocaust Victim?

quote:

I haven’t done anything yet, but I brought it up to my husband and he thinks I’m being insensitive. I was just wanting to do it as an act of remembrance and a conversation starter about the Holocaust and the dangers of bigotry/hatred.... but I can definitely see how this could be misconstrued as a terrible thing... but not the way I mean it....

Coping strategies and compensations are a way to directly address an issue. So is being honest with those close to you, and being clear about your boundaries and limitations. These are things a mental health professional will tell you and help you develop.

Depression and anxiety are bitches because they directly affect your drive to take care of yourself. This guy is actively trying to do better, but his effort is misdirected and he only ends up beating himself up. It doesn't read to me as though he lacks the ability to seek help and be open about his problems, and I'm not sure what gross misreading I'm making here.

Tattooing is in no way considered taboo in most religious Jewish circles and there haven't been cases where people were denied burial in a Jewish cemetery over it.

If anything, a loving concentration camp number tattooed on you is going to be more of a conversation stopper.

"Hello!"
"Oh, hi. That's, uh... a number you have on your arm?"
"It's the number that was tattooed on someone who was killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust. Have you heard about the Holocaust? They like killed all these Jews for like no reason!"
"Terrible. I... I need to go now."

I (28/f) just walked in on my husband (31f) having an inappropriate “experience” with our Goldendoodle

quote:

Edit: husband is a 31/m typo sorry

About an hour ago I leave our bedroom where my husband is sleeping on the bed with my dog to go take a shower. I start the shower, go put on a pot of coffee and turn on the radio, and forget that my robe is in the bedroom from the night before.

I swing open our bedroom door and my husband is on all fours letting the dog lick his rear end. He looks over at me with the most distressed and panicked look in his eyes I’ve ever seen as I run out of the room, completely disgusted.

I am now sitting in a Walmart parking lot trying to figure out what the hell I do next. I have really mixed emotions about all this. I’m afraid to google for advice because the subject matter is so repulsive and I don’t know if anyone here has experienced anything similar.

What you need to get is a full back portrait of the holocaust victim you want to honor and their forearm just happens to be displayed with the numbers. This may be harder to use as a conversation starter but you just gotta invest in backless dresses.

I think if you know a Holocaust victim well enough (relative or something) to get a tattoo like this to remember them, you probably know them well enough that is the answer was "yes" you wouldn't need to be asking. Also, hopefully you'd know them well enough to have other ways of remembering them because that's creepy.

When asked in the comments if it was for a relative or something she said she was "thinking of someone she had met a few years ago" and also tried to justify it by saying that some grandchildren of Holocaust survivors have done similar in honor of them.
