Barudak posted:I mean, they showed up to the date and the first words were "oh, you're shorter than I thought, nah" its difficult not to take that the way its said with no other data. Yeah there are shitloads of women who have straight up height requirements, most of them end up getting old enough to realize that that's a stupid thing to do and give it up but it very much does exist.

Learning to show no reaction did nothing because they already knew I would have funny reactions when pushed too hard, so all that did was prolong the bullying. They never got bored of it, despite what everybody assured me would happen. All this did was ingrain with me that I was not allowed to have any negative emotional reaction in front of anybody ever.

I am short and it definitely sucks when you’re dating. Tons of women don’t see dudes who are shorter than them as relevant dates at all and that’s just how it is. Fortunately I managed to find a short woman to marry who did’t give a poo poo. Also I have a big hog, which looks even bigger on my manlet frame so there are definitely advantages

Dude had way more confidence and success with women than I would have thought possible for such a skinny little runt.

The trick is that this is 'advice' you can give that requires no thought or action on their part and its failure can only be attributed to 'you didn't do it right'.

Some backstory: my wife and I moved for my new job. Cyan was the cousin of a hs friend so I was thrilled to know someone. We quickly became best friends, closer than brothers.

AITA for not disclosing I had plastic surgery to my boyfriend?quote:I (26F) have been dating Max (25M) for 4 months. When I was 22, I had a nose job as I broke my nose twice as a kid and it left it with a large bump. Then, at 23, I had a breast augmentation that bumped me up two cup sizes. These were life long insecurities that I was bullied over, and it was really relieving to get them done. Man wait till this dude learns about makeup!

AITA for suggesting to my son that he should be neutral with his therapist?quote:I’m a father of a 21 year old son who originally came home for winter break from uni. A couple of days ago when he was in his room and we were in the adjacent master bedroom organizing our finances, we heard him talking quite audibly and forcefully, telling his therapist about “all the bad things we’ve done” has done over the years that led him to getting therapy, and once we heard that my wife said it was confidential and we can’t listen, so we tuned out.

AITA for asking my roommate to avoid cooking a certain meals when my pregnant girlfriend visits?quote:My girlfriend and I are expecting. We don't live together but we're waiting til the baby's born to figure out our living arrangements. Of course there's no mention of OP going to stay with his pregnant gf, or what smells are causing her to be sick..... EDIT: Surprising nobody at all! OP posted:Info. I can't go to her place because she's currently living with her parents and I can't go over there because I'm not on good terms with them.

Yeah, I feel like there's a decent chance the horrible smells are some form of spicy ethnic food, or that it's something ridiculously commonplace. Of course there is also the option that the roommate absolutely has to eat durian five days a week.

Apparently it's "sell other people's stuff to pay the stepkids' medical bills" week. AITA for refusing to give my father and his wife money that my father saved for me before he met her? quote:My father married his wife when I was 12, four years after my mom died from cancer. My father's wife had a 3 year old daughter who a year into their marriage was diagnosed with a form of cancer that is tricky to treat. She underwent chemo and radiation but the treatment did not work. They were told about this alternative treatment that was not offered in any local hospital and it would require staying someplace else for at least three months with her. The treatment itself was also expensive. My father was never wealthy, neither was his wife and her daughter's father and his family were not in her life. There was only one thing that was easily sold and would make enough money to get started on the journey and that was my mom's engagement ring. It left to me, in her will, and was mine. Before my mom it was her mother and grandmother's ring. My great-grandparents helped someone out and it was a gift that was then passed down because of its value. It was extra sentimental because my grandma was in a nursing home with dementia at the time and I had no other living maternal family left. My father decided that could be sold to pay for the treatment. I said no, I begged him not to, he and his wife told me her daughter's life was more important and that it would be selfish to keep a ring and let her die. I told my father I would never forgive him if he sold the ring and that he was stealing from me, because it was mine. He went ahead and sold it anyway and I stayed true to my word. I never forgave them.

IIRC they whined how she shouldn't speak Italian to their Italian family while his grandpa laughed at the loser for never making an effort to learn his family's language in the first place.

And hopefully you were able to work around that, but it wouldn't have been reasonable to bring her into someone else's home 4 days a week and tell them they can't cook.

therobit posted:Another candidate for father of the year- What a loving nightmare. I’m assuming this is in the US. Anybody in a single-payer system heard of anything like this happening where you’re from? Sounds like the family makes too much to receive regular Medicaid, or any of the programs for medically fragile children that has a higher income threshold, for the kid. Or maybe nobody at the doctors office has recommended they apply for one of those programs because the US health system is so ducking confusing. I think in some states, parents have had to basically sign their kids into foster care so that the state will pay for the necessary medical care while the kids remains in the home with their parents. But that’s also a terrifying prospect because the kid is now no longer legally their kid and our foster system can act pretty maliciously through incompetence. Edit: well gently caress. Most states charge families child support when they put their kids into foster care, according to the Google research I’m doing. Since I know there have been kids in the system while remaining with their families due to unaffordable medical care, I’m guessing it is cheaper than the necessary medical care? Still sounds like more penalizing poor people for being poor. (This is without getting into overwhelming race-based income disparities that everyone on this forum are well aware of). I know, the OP is asking if he’s an rear end in a top hat for wanting to sell his other sons car. But I feel like he shouldn’t even have to try to find money for his other kid’s necessary medical care. Edit2: so it looks like there can be voluntary placement for medical care, but the child resides in a medical care home for the duration of medical care and the state is probably still gonna bill the parents for being too poor to cover medical costs. So they should still check into state Medicaid programs that cover “medically fragile” children since those can be used in combination with the insurance the kid may already be using through parent’s job. cake bunny posted:Yeah, there is expressly no social safety net system in the US for most people wrt medical expenses and that's how I read it when you wrote social services, since that's a US governmental agency name. I too have both personal experience with both my family and myself navigating these situations over, well, my whole life, and I also went into areas of professional work where I helped others navigate our lovely, messed up country to try to keep them from dropping dead, becoming homeless, or any of the other fun propositions, including what is essentially re-legalized debtor's prison! Outside of charities or crowdfunding, there is a hodgepodge of frequently obfuscated privately run "help programs" that may or may not exist in any particular area or hospital. Not all hospitals will assist with or negotiate regarding bills unless the patient meets very narrow financial requirements. There is a reason that the lady who badgered that hospital into reducing her boyfriend's bill was being hailed as a hero, and it's not because she just chatted up the hospital's social worker. Your reply is better than mine. Just wanted to add that a lot of charities are slow as hell I’m getting to the administration duties to decide to help people and state governments often believe that there are nonprofit or public programs offering assistance because they funded them several decades ago, but those programs no longer do some of what they were originally tasked with doing. In my case, various rental assistance programs. I figure rental assistance stuff is simple compared to the complexity of our bloated US health system. So, thank you, Cake Bunny, for working directly with people to find ways for them to be able to afford the health care they should be entitled to. Also healthcare.gov requires some scrutiny since all of the plans are being permitted to jack up their premium price while covering less. And deductible should never have been a thing allowed in insurance. Bored fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Dec 10, 2022 |
