Like I don't think a continued relationship is feasible. Get her mental help? sure. But she's going to be seeing that dead cat every time she looks at her sister.

Apparently she was too consumed with grief to do the very minimal care it takes to keep a cat alive yet still somehow managed to purchase and begin renovations on a second house. I'm not buying it.

Also my day is kind of ruined now thinking about that poor cat lonely and freezing to death THANKS LADY

I guarantee that house she moved into is an empty shell with no renovations at most, doesn't exist at worst.

As for the cat, she probably couldn't find it anymore and thought it ran away

And it wasn't just any cat, it was a cat she gave to her :(
But she really needs to not take it personally or get too emotional. Sister is mentally ill and awful and can't really be talked to or reasoned with, she's in full denial mode. So just bear down and fix the house, sell it, do what must legally be done regardless of the relationship drama that potentially comes out of it. "The house wasn't that much of a mess! You're just trying to take my half of the house money!" is a big potential drama, so good-brain sister needs to document the hell out of everything. Photos, official quotes from cleaners and contractors, there needs to be an airtight case.

The saddest part is the cat snuggling up in the sister's clothes because they smelled like her.

Btw if you're ever pet sitting, borrowing someone's pajamas wearing/leaving them near wherever you're sleeping is a great way for pets to get used to you since even washed you'll still smell like their owner.

Dumping people who friendzone me (self.confessions)

quote:

Soo, I got rejected the other day, and she says she wants to me friends. The only problem is that I don't want to be her friend, I wanted to date her.

Now I know what you may be thinking, 'Wow that's pretty dickish!' But hear me out.

The main thing I want to avoid is being friends with her, and then all of a sudden she gets a boyfriend. I don't want to be the guy on the sidelines watching the girl I like with another guy. It's not good for my mental health and self-esteem.

I haven't gone off at her, I respected her wishes that she wasn't looking for someone, and that was it.

Besides, I have enough female friends and I want to find a long-term partner. I don't want to keep doting on someone, hoping that they'll end up dating me. gently caress that. I want to move on and find the woman of my dreams.

I hope you all understand.

Earlier in the thread, three people asked me to extrapolate on why I had security escort my in-laws out of the hospital when my daughter was born.

I didn't answer cause thinking about it frustrated me at the time but I'm going to now by writing my own r/relationships post, free of charge! That way I can pretend it's actual content and I'm not making GBS threads up the thread.

My MiL[50sF] faked a suicide attempt and outed my mother's [53F] painful secret she kept for over thirty years


quote:

My mother-in-law has what I suspect to be BPD but she refuses to be honest with psychiatrists so they can't accurately diagnose her. Instead, she claims she enjoys manipulating them into believing that she's a victim of her mentally unstable daughter.

We decided to cut ties with her when she called us claiming she was going to commit suicide. We knew it was fake from the way she was talking but suspected she wanted us to think it's fake. She thinks she's a lot smarter than she is. Anyway, we realized she was trying to bait us into not calling the police for some reason. So we immediately called the police both to turn it around on her and ensure her safety if it was indeed real despite us hating her. Turns out, she invited family and friends over to witness her experiment. She assumed we would ignore it which would prove to the people in her house that we truly were the heartless demons she claims we are. That was enough to cut contact. She was taken to a mental hospital but when she got out, was even more convinced that she alone was a good person and told the rest of the family how she had manipulated the doctors.

A few months after that, she got her revenge. She dug into my family history and scoured it for anything she could use against us. She found something. She revealed, in a letter to us, a letter to my parents, on facebook, and on twitter, that my parents marriage wasn't my mom's first marriage. She got married when she was eighteen. She's hid it from all of us for all these years. She hid it from my late father, my step-dad, her children, everyone. It wouldn't be that big of a deal but, and I have no idea how my mother-in-law found any of this out she also revealed that my mother's first marriage was a violent one. That's all she had but my mom filled in the details because her secret was already out. Her first husband was a violent alcoholic who would beat, rape, and threaten to kill her on a regular basis. Two years of hell before she got out. My mother-in-law revealed this horrid secret to the world. A secret my mother had tried to bury so that nobody would ever know what happened to her.

That's why I called security on her in the hospital.

So, something awful forum users reddit, murder or no?

She revealed it anywhere between a year and six months prior to the hospital. I'm not sure exactly but I can figure out that based on where we were living during both situations. Then she showed up at the hospital because her, her best friend, and my father-in-law all staked out different hospitals waiting to see someone they recognized so they could find us.

Just trying to clarify. It's surprisingly hard to write it out sensibly when some details are clear, some are fuzzy, and I don't want to ramble on and start listing out characters like the awful r/relationship posts. Chapter One: The Suicide...

My mom [63F] is mad at me [21F] for losing "too much" weight.Non-Romantic

quote:

Hi all,

About 1.5 years ago, my weight topped off at 170 pounds. I am a 5'0 female, and that's just not healthy.

I have since lost 41 pounds and am at a happy and healthy 129 pounds. My resting heartrate and blood pressure are perfect, I'm not sore anymore, etc. All good stuff.

The issue is that my mother will not stop pushing me to gain it all back. She frequently says things like "You look sick." "I can see your collarbone too much." "You look terrible because you're too skinny."

This is the first time in my life that I love how I look. I'm tired of her knocking me down for being healthy. I eat a healthy amount every day, and my doctor has no complaints.

How do I tell my mom to back off with this?

Tl;dr: I lost a lot of weight and my mom bullies me about it. How do I handle this?

Comments reveal, of course, the mom used to be thin but is obese now.

Fatties getting enraged when friends and family successfully become healthier flies in the face of a lot of their delusions and rationalizations and makes them jealous and angry. I've seen it happen with fat friends who basically get ostracized from their other fat friends because of it. It's really pathetic and reminds me of how the incel "community" will treat someone who finally gets a date.

Nope, but I did bring it up in a different GBS thread that had something to do with crazy relatives like a year ago. I didn't mention the marriage though because the tone of the thread was fairly lighthearted with people talking about their hoarder grandma or something and I didn't want to suddenly be like "lol yeah so about domestic abuse"

They can be friends, but seriously, if you start out wanting a sexual relationship with someone it's probably in your own best interests to not stay for a friendship if they say no. Especially if there isn't a prior friendship.

According to the app, you don't have pm's, so I gotta poo poo up the thread with serious stuff.

Good on you for making her face actual consequences for her actions. And your SO is awesome for not feeding into her mother's drama.

Unfortunately, my crazy stepmom's kids all believe her lies about me and themselves, somehow. Except for the youngest who has somehow remembers the past abuse of all the girls in the household clearly. Unfortunately, unlike your wife, she has not severed with my father or stepmother so I can't keep in contact with her. I miss little Kate. Sure, she's an adult now, but she's still my little sister, who was hilariously impossible to wake for school, in my head.

I'm super impressed with your wife for being able to not only identify the awfulness of her mom, when she has been raised in that quagmire, but to cut her mom out so that you and the kids don't have to deal with that crap.

Gf[23] is going to a one on one dinner with her ex of 3 years and is planning it out.

quote:

So basically the gist is that my Gf of 8 months is pretty much taking her ex out to dinner. She said it's so they can catch up and see how's he doing and hopefully if he's ready then they can be friends. To be honest I'm not sure how to feel about this... Also keep in mind that her ex also through her a big suprised bday before he chose to go move on with his life. However now out of no where my gf wants to take him one on one to a dinner and everything. Also she's the one that dumped him

TL;DR my gf is taking her ex of 3 years to a dinner and is planning everything. And she hopes that they can be friends. How should I feel about this?

:thunk:

Found the buried lede in a post by the same user one month earlier:
Gf[22] been dating about 7 months now. Told me round September that I'm a rebound and has started to see and talk to her ex again they dated for 3 years

quote:

So the jist is around September my current gf went to see her ex who she dated for 3 years and basically said she regrets breaking up with him and not only that but said that I am a rebound. So at first I told her to atleast try and make it work since she kinda owes me that... So she has been trying and I have introduced her to my family however. I also posted photos of me and her on Instagram. However it seems that even after all this I still haven't met her family nor has she even posted a photo of me or anything on snapchat. And not only that but a few weeks ago she has started to talk to her ex and they've been hanging out once a week going out to eat and drive around. And like I'm not sure what to do I usually text her once in a while and see what she's up to. And she has met my family. So I'm not sure what I should do... What does this all mean?

TL;DR: current gf told me I'm a rebound and after seeing her ex around September she still hasn't posted photos of us at all. However now she started to hangout with her ex weekly and talk to him for 4 to 6 hrs. She also told me I'm a rebound but I told her to at least make it work... So I'm not sure what I should do. Any advice?
