honestly i have never felt so attacked by yankee bullshit as when i posted about eating boiled peanuts on tumblr and my tumblr famous friend reblogged it (asking politely! and we had a nice conversation where i explained)
and then five million idiots came out of the woodwork all PEANUTS? AND YOU BOIL THEM? EEEEWWWW

"you can't just say 'dump the motherfucker' in so many relationship situations, harp!"
I WILL STOP SAYING IT WHEN MOTHERFUCKERS STOP NEEDING TO BE DUMPED
straight men get away with far too much complete bullshit!!!!!
don't enter into and be in a relationship where the end result is you not getting a partner and ally to rely on, but instead gaining a fuckin overgrown child whose shit you have to manage!!!!
but also holy fuck this lady thinks the problem is solved now that she "knows she needs to not assume SO is a mind reader and ask him for help"
listen not to be all hashtag misandry but
if your partner doesn't think "maybe she could use some help juggling a newborn child after a rough birth, as well as all household tasks like cooking and cleaning, and also also this new beagle puppy i just got her", THAT'S NOT A FAILURE ON YOUR PART FOR NOT INFORMING HIM
HE'S JUST AN ASSHOLE
mention of animal abuse, in which a wigglytuff explains why the mods of /r/justnoMIL are probably gunning for her
but the OP dismissed the idea of professional help with saying she doesn't need "happy pills" - thanks for dismissing needed psych meds and reducing psychiatric care down to a bad stereotype i guess? - so yeah, that initial sympathy is still there, but my continued sympathy for current behavior has well and truly evaporated
and for this i expect a mod in my inbox soon L M A O
mention of animal abuse, in which a wigglytuff explains why the mods of /r/justnoMIL are probably gunning for her
so yeah i'm kinda going in hard on this OP because i think being physically violent and abusing an animal is something you need to address professionally as soon as possible.
it doesn't mean one incident makes you a bad terrible person for life, but it's a big enough problem that you can't DIY it. to try and DIY it is irresponsible.
mention of animal abuse, in which a wigglytuff explains why the mods of /r/justnoMIL are probably gunning for her
however
r/justnoMIL brands itself as being a support sub
and i think this only works when there is the option to call others out on egregious shit.
otherwise, it just becomes a circle jerk of enabling bad behavior. part of 'not being a justno' is being ready and willing to entertain the idea of being wrong (instead of always being right on absolutely everything all the time).
mention of animal abuse, in which a wigglytuff explains why the mods of /r/justnoMIL are probably gunning for her
of course this same poster in this same bit went on about how it was so hard for her and she talked it over with one of the mods before baring her soul and it pains her so much
and i actually do have a lot of sympathy for the OP in question. it was a bit of a set-up by her dumbass husband and MIL who thought "oh sure a puppy isn't any extra work for a mother with a newborn", etc.
mention of animal abuse, in which a wigglytuff explains why the mods of /r/justnoMIL are probably gunning for her
but honestly
"thank you everyone for being so mature and giving me unwavering support and not saying i'm an animal abuser about my last post where i described hitting and throwing a puppy"
nah no thanks i'm not interested in letting that slide no matter how many cutesy little passive-aggressive remarks you make about it, OP
Pet death update
@Torie@todon.nl cats and pets are beloved companions, and always have been to humanity. don't be ashamed to love deeply and mourn deeply. i'll let this edwardian era gravestone fill in a bit more philosophical detail, but remember you are a huge comfort to your cat in her final moments. you are her world and you are with her at the very end. be kind to yourself in the coming hours and days. *hugs*
