Relationship/Dating Think I'm losing feelings for my bf

• Upvotes

I've been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 2 and a half years now and I think that I'm starting to lose feelings. It makes me feel guilty and like I'm a bad person.

Everything he does has started to irritate me. Just the thought of having him over annoys and exhausts me. I don't really want to spend time with him anymore because it feels like there's just nothing left to do and it just either feels forced, like a chore or like a waste of time. I'd so much rather hang out with all my friends or just stay alone at home instead of spending time with him. I get annoyed when he texts me and I procrastinate texting him back.

I've just grown so distant to him and it makes me feel so bad. These feelings have been there for a few months now and I almost broke up with him a while ago. But we ended up not breaking up and talking it out because we still love eachother too much and the feelings are too strong to let go. He's fully aware of how I've been feeling tho.

The worst thing is that he doesn't feel the same way as me. He wants to hang out, he wants to call and text, he wants to actively spend time with me but I just CAN'T. As I already said it's just so exhausting and feels like a chore. Everytime we hang out we end up sitting on our phones because there's just nothing left to do for us. We've tried to come up with solutions, tried to go on dates, tried to do new things but it just doesn't help or our differences catch up with us and we can't agree on anything, even if it's the stupidest thing like playing a video game together.

I just feel like a bad girlfriend and the way i feel makes me feel so guilty and I really don't wanna hurt him but i genuinely feel like we've gotten to a point where simply loving eachother just isn't enough anymore.

Indian jokes are lame

• Upvotes

I'm all for 'edgy' and 'dark' humor and I can appreciate a tasteful racist joke, I think we all can. But what's been driving me crazy is all the "Do not redeem" and scammer jokes. Sure, they're a stereotype and a lot of scamming centers are known for being Indian. But I genuinely just think they're so lame and boring!

I'm not of indian descent so they don't affect me at all. But I can't be the only one over these jokes?

I'm sick of college

• Upvotes

Sorry for my bad grammar. So I am 18 years old and I have a boyfriend. I can't really call him my boyfriend yet but I do love him and he loves me. Okay so at college our interactions are limited since dating is apparently a sin in my country or whatsoever. At college we'd only talk during lunch breaks, that too sitting on different benches. Only a few times, like 4-5 times did he come to my bench and we sat together but other couples in my class did it all the time. And when we say together we've held hands like once or twice. That was all. We do talk a lot during that time. I'm a yapper and so is he. After college we sit and talk for like 5 minutes before the bus leaves. That is all. But the faculty at my college are talking ill about my relationship. One of our staff complained about us to the department saying that we are dating. Soon. It spread to the entire department, and they're now talking about us like we did something wrong. They're assuming things about us. They're assuming we held hands during a workshop while we were sitting on two different corners. They assumed that I wanted to run away when I just wanted to spend time with my friends (he was at home and I was at college and they assumed that I wanted to run away with him)

One time we took leave from college on the same day, that too I asked permission to my parents. And many other people took leave too. But they put the blame entirely on us two as if we were doing something wrong. Now I am afraid that they're going to target us about this. They might view me as a bad person. If anyone reads this, do reply I don't know what to do.

Long lasting insecurity.

3 Upvotes

Ever since 7th grade Ive been insanely insecure of my jaw. It’s so recessed, underdeveloped and weak. Same with my chin and I fucking hate it. Im about to graduate high school now so I’ll finally be able to make an orthodontist appointment and drive myself. In 2023, I was a freshman in high school and my parents wanted to see if braces would be covered by insurance and when they took photos and evaluated it they told me the point were off and I didn’t qualify. The man talking to my dad and I about it told us that as an alternative, he recommended jaw surgery. My dad said no before he even explained anything and I never found out more details about it. Im really hoping this is a sign that I medically qualify for surgery and will have insurance cover it. I just cant stress my hatred for my jaw enough. My eyes are beautiful, my brow bone is strong, my nose is prominent, all but my lip and jaw. I look odd and uneven. Im a girl and this is my dream. I genuinely believe this is the only reason nobody will pursue me romantically. People befriend me very easily but nothing more. I’m a bit afraid of what people will think when they see me with a new facial structure but for the most part I’m so excited nobody will ever understand. I get really sad when Im around everyone else and notice how perfect proportionate their jaw is to the upper half of their face. Even if their features are off, they look normal. I dont. And I absolutely hate it so I hope this all works out in my favor. If anyone has ever had similar experiences, thoughts or gotten surgery let me know your experience!

Mildly Annoyed Ordering a “Girl Drink” as a man

2 Upvotes

A daiquiri is literally a whiskey sour with lime and white rum and yet if I order one in the wrong place, they treat me like I think I’m the fucking Queen of England. I swear, unless a place has someone who’s a real mixologist, all a bar can do for you is pour highballs and beers these days and they’ll treat you like an asshole for ordering something they aren’t familiar with. THEN I have to pay 2026 prices and a tip for something I didn’t really want.

This is after trying to order a daiquiri, getting denied and instead getting the worst whiskey sour I’ve ever had.

Just A Rant I'm currently unsupervised and thinking, always a interesting combination.

3 Upvotes

I was Thinking and unsupervised, Always a interesting combination.

If you have made it this far I promise I'm trying to get to the point. I was talking to a guy in Alabama trying to help him feel out starting an on-site welding company. He was showing me a sway bar he was thinking about trying to fix had torn loose. If you don't know what is required to do that safely without the right equipment it's a lot. After i raddle off a laundry list on what might be required to fix it.

It occurred to me that I don't have a clue why the south isn't into solar or wind energy. But more importantly farmers and ranchers were adverse to alternative energy. I mean that salt of the earth folks that apparently just realized the Sun is real. But I really was thinking about the problems everyone is facing with fuel and feed costs. I started wondering if the reason they object to Solar and Wind sites on their land. It's not designed to be functional for farming, it's Big city ideas that don't make any sense in the country. The way it's presented.

I think it was China that figured it out, they installed thousands of acres of desert and mountains with Solar panels. They were mounted maybe 10-15' off the ground and they discovered that life started blooming in the desert where nothing has grown in hundreds of years. The shade and tilt created an environment suitable enough to restart life. Enough life to support sheep and other small farm life. In the middle of nowhere while they are making energy enough to support city's.

There might be a test later.

There's also a similar theory called ago-voltaics using solar panels for shading agro culture. Beans, tomatoes, peppers leeks and a long list of other foods. By using the path of the shade they could protect the plants, make energy and reduce water consumption in a baren area. The plants topping under the panels would draw some of the heat away making them more efficient.

Which brings me back to Alabama and the guy I was talking with was trying to figure out how to fix what's broken and make some money in his area. I was trying to think with all the different ways I've seen to make electricity. All the homemade windtubines, solar porches and water conservation ideas I've seen in 40 something years. I'm a bit of a fabricator and have an ability to see the way something works. Then manage to put something together with a couple of sticks, a bit of string and a rubber band.

So, as I said, thinking why can't the ideas mesh into something that would actually help farms work better. I've long had the belief that if every single building could support it's own needs at least in part. That would take tons of stress off the grid lowering the residual energy price. So I've been playing with the designs, buildings and needs and I think I have parts of a solution. I've seen in some parts of cattle country rest stops in the middle of fields a quarter mile from anything.

So the idea starts with a pole barn of almost any size. If you extend the roof like a porch using Solar panels on the East, South and West sides about 10-15' . It would allow the inner shaded areas another couple degrees cooler. Then if you installed a wind turbine sized to the building or a couple motionless turbines . Could you then also catch the footprint of the building to catch rain in gutters. Saving cleaning and oxygenating it for the animals. With underground maybe or on the north side. From that underground would be a fantastic place for a battery bank to collect the energy.

In theroy a design similar could collect energy and water year round and have a charge station at every building. Provide a rest stop for animals to get out of the summer sun and weather protection reducing water loss helping get and keep weight up for cattle. It could be a small workshop or charging area assuming we can figure out how to build electric harvesters. H I'mow to keep it charged is solved.

I think if we could be open source plans like that, you could get everyone that doesn't understand. It's technically a new industry with lots of potential for cross training with older skills. It would take a degree of stress off the ranchers and cattle. By keeping them covered safe and watered. But most importantly be a blueprint for real sustainable housing that's self sufficient.

But I think part of what brought me to all of this is, I understand the space saving design of rooftop solar. But frankly it's an imbecilic design flaw to put Heat sensitive equipment on a surface that depending on the type can become 60% hotter than the air temperature. That's really bugged me for a while, I don't think you would need half the surface area of panels if they were just more efficient.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

Full Meltdown I hate my Gen X parents who taught me put everyone first and myself last, they basically raised me as a doormat

5 Upvotes

All my time I was forced by duckass gen x parents to be nice, to people please, to put others first over my discomfort and the results is every fucking one takes advantage of me be it coworkers, friends, relatives.

I was the kid who never got into trouble, the one who they never had to worry about and that shit is exhausting because nobody checks on a strong person.

All this good girl conditioning fed to me in order to make them good ideal parents. I fucking hate my stupid parents for making me a slave to other people.

Nobody taught me how to stand up for myself and protect myself! One of the many incidents- when I got SA I was worried about “ruining my abuser’s life” and thats what they instilled in me.

I don’t wanna be their “badge of honour” that they can flex infront of society at the cost of my mental and physical health.

I wanna be a ”BAD” girl, fuck the good girl!

Video Games 🎮 Bf got banned from a streamer's discord server because someone accused him of cheating on CoD

0 Upvotes

Before anything, I don't know much about CoD despite playing the mobile version when I was a kid, but I do know that my bf plays really good and would never condone cheating/using third party tools. Recently he's been playing a lot of mw3 and would often stream his games to me while I draw or eat, and when he's not playing he would show me this content creator (I wont name names) who plays the game often. Bf has been a fan of this guy for a while and was also in his discord server. Now, because my bf plays really well, he often gets cheating accusations so it's not new to him, but yesterday he was playing with some people from that discord server. Long story short, he came to me saying he got banned from the server because people thought he used something called "unlock"?? But when he tried to show proof, the mods denied it and banned him anyway.. We ended up telling a friend about it and when they joined the discord server asking what's going on, they got bombarded with his fans quite literally bullying them. When I was reading through it, it felt like highschool level bullying which is kinda sad. Anyway, we tried talking to a mod and even showed multiple proof of my bf's innocence yet they claimed they have screenshots of him using a gun that was cheated but won't show us the screenshots.. I'm just a bit mad and confused. Why would they do that?

like, the product says it comes in size S to 3xl or whatever but it's not letting me pick a size. I've already ordered multiple from this store and they were all S when I need a XL, so I'm running into the same problem and I just want to pick what size I get. it says it's out of stock at the store I want but in stock online (the store it said it was at last week isn't even a store I like going to, so that's fine I don't mind ordering online rn if it means I don't have to go across town)

I'm just complaining, but man am I at a wit's end here

Can’t figure it out

1 Upvotes

I lost a lot of interest in the daily joys of life. I’m 23 and I know I have a lot of life to live and so much left to experience but it’s kind of hard to want to. I used to like taking pictures of things. So much so that someone asked me if I was a photographer or someone who documents their life through pictures, and I didn’t even realize how much joy it brought me to do that until someone pointed it out. It’s been a few years since then and I haven’t taken much pictures of anything. Sometimes I take pictures of my dog. I had an instagram where I posted all of those things and I deleted it earlier this year, but even before I deleted it, it went about a year with no posts before I completely gave it up. I also deleted my personal instagram, I had it for years since I was maybe a freshman in high school. All of those pictures are gone now. I even vlogged with some of my friends, and now I’m too insecure to be in any kind of video at all. I painted a lot throughout my life, I drew so many pictures and made pottery sometimes. Now all of that stuff sits in a bag in my closet and I can’t bring myself to pick it up. I sang a lot, it was something that I found a real passion for in college with a friend. We aren’t friends anymore, and I vape now so it just doesn’t really seem worth it anymore. I argue with my girlfriend over nothing sometimes and I think it’s just because I need some kind of stimulation in my life. It’s really not fair to her. I’m really good at my job, but it’s hard to get there on most days. It’s the only thing that I’m holding onto right now that makes me feel good about myself. It’s 12:30am right now and I should be asleep but I’ve just been mindlessly playing games on my phone and now my eyes hurt. I don’t want to sleep because I have pretty bad dreams. I know it’s so easy to say go to therapy but I just tried and accidentally quit before starting? I’ve tried before and quit because I couldn’t afford it, but now my new job offers free sessions. I scheduled and on my first one I was on my way home and they told me they weren’t allowed to talk while I was driving. I respected that and they rescheduled me for the next morning. I didn’t realize I had something planned, so I tried to cancel and they charged be $65 for cancelling. I emailed and said I couldn’t afford it, and it doesn’t make sense that there is a 24hr rule I didn’t know about and I scheduled less than 24hrs ago, so since I can’t afford it I can’t schedule anymore sessions. They agreed it wasn’t right, waived the fee but also said that we can’t schedule anymore sessions anymore. So now I’m kind of stuck. I’m just really tired and lonely and I know it should be as simple as doing the things I used to do again, but none of it feels right. I should try to go to bed, but even that feels wrong. When is the fun life in your 20s supposed to start?

Mental Health Given up on life

1 Upvotes

Lately, I'm feeling awfully depressed and empty. My life was always filled with drama and problems, money and relatives.

I was a with honor student last year, I was the most positive and happiest girl alive, I loved learning, I loved to spread positivity. But a lot happened—a lot. We moved home for 3 times, I'm not going to school lately, maybe 3 absences a week—I barely do my homework—barely participate. I'm someone who gets low score, barely active on school.

My sister tried to kill herself first day of January this year, due to the pressure of her rapist that was out relative—that relative was about to be a police, and the thought of him killing my dad, she was afraid that once he become a police he will kill my dad.

My oldest sister, early adult, has obsession with her boyfriend—not in obsession way, but you could say she was a little obsessed. She picked her boyfriend over us, she has a work, but still asks mom for money. She lived by herself, she refused to lived with us.

Back to my other sister, mom found out she stopped going to school and doesn't have a work—she's 18, she's depressed and I heard her say that she chooses to live with her girlfriend.

Both of them don't have a work, they don't, they still asks mom for money for everything. Rent, food, allowance—everything.

Mom is pretty the breadwinner atp, dad stopped going to his job, he doesn't have a job now. This week, she just told us how tired mom was, how useless we are and how the money was the root of our conflicts.

These problems, it's not the all of it. It's buried in my mind, it's burning me, it's etched deep in my heart. I couldn't take this anymore, every problems are rushing in one by one. I've given up on life, lately, I tried to overdose myself—didn't work. I tried to hang but my ceiling can't be tied up. I tried, I tried to die.

This week I skipped class for two days straight, my classmate told me how I missed school, she stated how lazy I was, barely does my homework, and begged me to go to school. She criticized how lazy I was in school and told me I would get a low grade with that.

That made me feel something that twisted in my chest, I didn't wanna know the truth, I know , I was aware what I was doing, but—I just wanna run away. every morning I wake up, I find myself staring at the ceiling, what was I living for? Was living really worth it?

My wrist is filled with scars, and so my hips. I was always ashamed how I found comfort with hurting myself, it was like another way to let it out, open my self and make it feel I'm still alive. My friends aren't helping, they're suicidal too, we knew we SH, but they're the only one who thinks it's normal—I don't. I'm ashamed of it, I don't get it why they turn it into a fun way? My friend is toxic too.

I do not know where to turn myself to, to talk openly, I've been surviving—Ive been enduring this.

“Find someone to talk to”

Do you think I didn't do that? All of them, they knew, they knew I was suffering, they never offered help because they also have problems

I'm aware of my feelings, I'm aware of my surroundings. Thats why, I never asked help, because it was basically useless in this world who focuses on their selves.

But lately, I don't wanna label myself depressed, I'm afraid I'm just emotional or it's just episodes, and people might think when I say I'm feeling depressed they wouldn't take me seriously.

I don't have another way to label myself whatever this is, theres something wrong with me. I just—given up on life. I just think, living just to suffer, isn't that cruel?

Relationship/Dating i found out recently that my ex bf (18M) i (16F) dated abt two years ago tried getting with two of my sisters and my mom keeps talking abt him..

1 Upvotes

i, now 16F, dated my ex bf we'll call C, now 18M, abt two years ago when i was a freshman and he was a junior in hs. i recently found out from my other ex that C tried getting with two of my older sisters and my mom won't stop talking abt him.

this is going to be a long story, but the tea is strong, i promise

the break up was incredibly messy as one would expect of a hs relationship. the drama and bullshit that happened before, during, and after our relationship will have to be a separate post.

during the summer of '25, before our relationship ended, i had gotten him a job at my moms restaurant. after he left me for another girl, my mom refused to fire him, saying, "it's kid business and has nothing to do with me". to make matters worse, the girl he essentially cheated on me w, we'll call her P, worked at my dads restaurant. my sisters kept telling me to get both of them fired but i knew it'll tie right back to me and cause more unnecessary drama. our entire relationship was filled w drama, and i was tired. everyone in town knows my family and the restaurants we own. i will preface my mom didn't know fs that we had dated; she never asked and i never said a thing abt it to her because she had strict rules regarding dating during hs. before the breakup, my mom never really liked him because hes a different race than we are; i am Asian and he is Hispanic. but after the breakup, she just started liking him a lot.. so the entirety of my sophomore year, he worked for my mom. she would constantly talk abt him to me, knowing how our "friendship" ended. she would glaze him, saying things like, "he's such a good son to his mother" or just talk abt him in a praising way that she never regarded me or my sisters in. i had told her how i was uncomfortable w her constantly talking abt him but she'd just snap at me or we'd get into an argument, so i kept my mouth shut. i would see him in school w his new gf, P, and then sometimes see him at work, i couldn't escape him. i knew he was confining in my mom, asking for her advice abt his personal life because she'd, unwarranted, tell them to me. i constantly complained abt it to my 3 older sisters and they'd try to say sum abt it to my mom, who would still, not stop talking abt him. it was weird, and almost two years later (w him not working here anymore because he graduated and left for bigger things), he'd visit my mom at the restaurant and she'd still talk abt him. i saw him many times over the summer of '26 because he'd visit her, even though he's in and out of town for his new job. we'd have to talk many times because my mom is there and i was polite every single time. before he graduated hs, sometime in February, P cheated on him in the way he did to me (karma), and abt two weeks later he requested to add me on snap. i accepted, wanting to see what he'd say. i never messaged him, and a couple days later, he unadded me. during that entire time, his younger sister was constantly liking my insta notes and just interacting w my posts and reposts. during the summer and the times i was working and he happened to be visiting my mom, he'd act like nothing every happened and he would engage in convos w me like, asking me how the school year was, how my friendships were, and how things were going w my mom. i answered politely and short answered enough, he was not discouraged. that night when he was leaving, he did a secret handshake w my mom. the ones youd do w best friends or siblings when you were kids. i didn't even have one w my mom and she was giggling the entire time and i had wanted to either run, puke, punch, and cry at the same time because wtf?? i remember driving home that night bawling my eyes out and wondering why this was happening to me. another time, it was the afternoon, he came to the restaurant and told my mom that his mom was in a hospital abt an hour away because she was due to deliver a baby. apparently his mom wanted sushi so she told him to drive, it's two hours to and from, back to town to get sushi. btw, the hospital that C's mom is in, is in a big city that sells all kinds of sushi. but no, apparently she wanted our sushi.. abt a week later, my mom told me, unwarranted, that C came and told her that his mom was still in the hospital because the baby was having heart problems.

abt two weeks ago, i had gotten into an argument w my mom and she had told me to go home early from work. I was sitting in my car, texting my sisters abt it, when a black car pulled up to my left. i see someone who looked like a friend of his hop out of the passenger seat, and then C got out of the driver seat. i watched them walk into the restaurant. i was already bawling, and i whipped out of the parking lot , full on panicking. i sat at a red light, trying to do calming exercises so i wouldn't lose my mind on the road while driving back home.

now this happened abt a week ago. another one of my exes, one that i dated back in middle school so it doesn't really count, and i talked. during my sophomore year and after P cheated on C, my two exes had gotten really close.. i remember asking, we'll call him T, abt it and he said him and C are pretty close. I was talking to T a week ago abt another concerning matter and i built up the courage to say something abt C. I had told T that if they were still friends and the next time he saw C if he could possibly tell him to stop visiting my mom. i gave him some background context and i said he could tell C that it was me telling him to stop visiting her. i knew either way, he will most likely not listen to T anyways. T told me it seemed like i wasn't over him. i tell him that i'll say the truth. i'm not over the situation but i will never get back w him. i explained that it's hard for me to move on while my mom glazes him to me constantly without fail. i feel like C's goal is to just get under my skin and make me react. i am very reactive to things and situations, but i didn't react at all when he popped out with P or at the restaurant when he'd visit. that probably makes him very annoyed but him visiting my mom is actually getting in the way of our relationship. i wouldn't talk to my mom because i knew she'd bring him up, unwarranted. so, he basically won, but i refuse to contact him in any way to tell him to stop. i know my mom won't stop, so she's out of the question. T said if he remembers the next time they go out to drink, he will. not very promising, but it's better than nothing. we were chatting abt the bs C did behind my back that i always had an itch abt, but had no proof. during the convo, T goes, "C really really likes Asians". I agreed w him, and then he kept saying, "no no, i can't tell you that". i'm intrigued, i go, "no, tell me, what did he say?". T basically told me that C had once told him that he found two out of three of my older sisters hot. apparently C name dropped the one that's closest to me in age. flashback to around prom season of 2025, the day of prom, i was working and he had told me he was dropping off a friend and his friends gf to the prom venue. One of my sisters, the one who got name dropped, sent me a ss of someone adding her on snap. C's full name, like first and last, was the user. she goes, "isn't this your bf?". i checked the snap i had added, it wasn't the same. i remember asking him and i honestly cannot remember his response. i reaccount this story to T and he confirms to me that C has two snap accs. i'm not surprised; he had a secret insta acc that he had added P and other girls on near the end of our relationship. the acc I followed, he only followed me and his friends. i found out abt the secret acc when i noticed the one i knew of turned into a ghost acc after he left me. another flashback, when we were still in the talking stage, i remember we were skipping class in his car and he had his insta search pulled up. my main and spam, plus all three of my sisters were in his history search. i had asked him and he responded, pretty cleverly, that he was trying to see if my sisters posted me, which i'm nonexistent on their accs. the winter break of '24, not the name dropped sister, but another sister had posted a story on insta of a Christmas tree, with her acc being public, he viewed it. i didn't repost the story btw. my sister showed and asked me, "isn't that the guy you're talking to rn?". i remember, again, saying something abt it to C, can't remember his response. i'm guessing he wasn't expecting my sisters to tell me abt his hopefully unsuccessful approaches. the day T told me that, i had messaged the name dropped sister abt it and she was horrified.

that's basically it, as of rn. i know ill continue to find out more horrid things abt that man as my hs years continue, despite us having broken up a long time ago. this post, doesn't even cover half of it. i also found out a couple days ago, that C and P are back tg. match made in hell am i right? i'm not really looking for advice, if there's even anything to give in this situation. i've talked to my friends abt it and they were speechless. i'm still speechless, though not really surprised. it seems like he just wants to fuck my entire family.

I feel like I can’t get injured

1 Upvotes

Im in high school and I play sports but recently I hurt my knee and I feel like I’m not good enough of a player to be injured. I don’t know if feeling like that makes sense but it’s the best way to describe it. Like I wouldn’t say I’m bad but I’m for sure not the best on the team. Like i sprained my knee in such a stupid way and now I feel like everyone thinks I’m exaggerating it. Like yesterday I was just passing the ball to the wall like a foot or two away and my knee popped and started hurt again(it’s better now so I know I didn’t make it worse) but since that happened I was scared to go to practice today. I feel like people are going to think I couldn’t possibly hurt myself bad and think I’m just being lazy. It doesn’t really help that my dad is making me feel lazy. I’m just scared of what people think, like if a really good player got injured to would make sense right? I just don’t think I’m good enough to be injured and I know I’ll be fine in a week or two but I don’t know when to go back to practicing like I don’t want to seem like I’m avoiding going back but I really don’t want to make it worse.

Relationship/Dating He cant handle stress

1 Upvotes

​

Im struggling. My fiance of 2 years is 27 and we have a son together. He genuinely shuts down at the slightest stressful situation. Complete nothing burgers. He cant have real conversation with people about resolving issues or misunderstandings and would be okay sitting back and watching everything fall apart around him and do nothing. Right now we are set to miss out on thousands of dollars because he cant have a conversation about what's his to his family. He owns 50% of a business thats liquidating because his father died. His sister has been actively trying to manipulate his mom into thinking we do drugs or anything she can that would deter his mother from giving his portion of the money. Sure this is a something burger but months before this I found out he had maxed out his credit card and didnt transfer any of the automated bill to another account so it was continuing to get hit with huge interest fees for being overdrafted. It stressed him out so he just sat back and did nothing. The thing is he did not present himself this way to me in the beginning. He was set to take over the buisness, seemed confident , and excited for that part of his future. He was upfront about what he wanted out of the relationship and seemed ready for a family the same way i was.

My thing is, is how do you expect to have a family and not be able to handle stress. He acts out of hand at times snapping and being reckless. He shuts down and now "he needs space" . Im sorry space doesnt exist when you have a family. Sure you get your time to your self. But this man works out of town 5 days a week. He doesnt even have to handle our son for 5 days. He stays in airbnbs with his best friend that he works with. They eat out. They take showers lol and this man need space?? Im on the edge tbh we have a son together i want this to work. Yet I dont think its fair for me to carry every load there is and including his and then he some how stills gets so stressed out that he needs more space. I just dont understand how someone can be 27 years old and not be able to handle normal amounts of stress. Its so mind boggling. We've gone to couples therapy and hes going to personal therapy. His behavior seems so stagnant. Im at a loss. This could be just a rant tbh or this could be a want for advice but honestly what can anyone say that I haven't already heard.

Just A Rant Permanent ban from r/horror because I accidentally swore in my comment 🙄

7 Upvotes

Someone said “just saw cannibal holocaust for the first time” and they basically said they were traumatized. All I said was “I liked the movie overall but I fucking hate how they actually killed a real tortoise”

THATS. IT.

Rule 1 is not to swear in a hateful way. Guess the mods really love animals getting killed on camera 🤷🏻‍♂️

Family Drama I swear I can’t win

1 Upvotes

My mother has been on my case about doing an Etsy shop and having one is exhausting so i just am like fuck it whatever to keep the peace. I was already working on a project and started a sticker today. My mother already gives me shit for not showing her my work but guess what all she has to say is she thinks is that I should put more energy into making other things besides stickers. I’m so exhausted I feel like I can’t win. I’m sorry I don’t mean to sound dramatic or bratty. I’m just trying to make her happy.

My best friend blocked me because I don't like her boyfriend NSFW

TW: s3xual c0ercion

My best friend, whom I'll refer to as B, and I have been very close friends for a couple of years. We know each other's deep, dark secrets, have witnessed each other's weird phases, called every day, and told each other everything. She literally CRASHED my car, and there's a scratch on my car because of it, but I still loved her (my fault for letting other people drive my car lol).

Recently, she met this guy on a dating app, and there is so much to him that screams red flag, but just to summarize, he has no job, doesn't go to school, and has taken advantage of her body during dates (before they were officially gf/bf) to the point where she had to confront him about being more respectful of her body and her boundaries. He would also cry when she refused to give him head. And then he pressures her to have sex even when she tells him that she's about to go to work. This was within the first 2 months of them dating, by the way. She also skipped classes to spend time with him, called off work to spend time with him, and used her FAFSA money (basically money given from the government to fund college, for those who don't know) on him, and also pays for all their dates (because he doesn't have a job). He's also unhealthily clingy. When we went on a hangout dinner with friends, he was waiting INSIDE her car parked outside the restaurant we were eating at. There are so many wrong things he has done, but then this post would be too long.

And, as someone who wants the best for B, I didn't like him. But it's also her life, so she can date whoever she wants. I never told her until B asked me what my opinion was on her boyfriend. I said I didn't like him, and she cried. She told me she didn't understand why. She said he didn't do anything wrong and that I was a bad friend because, out of everyone in her life, I should be supportive of her and her relationship.

I understand that, when people are in love, they tend not to see the flaws of their partner and "ignore the red flags," but I'm just sad and baffled that me not liking her boyfriend was the big thing that officially ended our friendship.

My mom tells me it's a good thing because I'm "outgrowing" our friendship? I mean, she vapes, does drugs, had D's and F's in high school, and failed her first 2 semesters of college, while I'm essentially on a full-ride scholarship to college as a low-income student at a prestigious college, with a goal of getting a master's degree. I graduated as valedictorian in high school and have 4.0 GPAs in HS and college. I also have never done drugs or vaped. I'm not saying this to, like, brag, but I'm just saying this to explain why my mom thinks this. My mom said that we are going on 2 different paths in life and that us parting as friends was inevitable.

I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts.

I'm sad about my family's living situation

1 Upvotes

I'm 25 and my family and I live in a trailer right now. We've been here for over ten years. Everything is so run down. Noth bathtubs are broken, so we have to take a bath in the sink. So many outlets don't work. And we don't even have a stove because the wiring was so fucked that we had to choose between air conditioning and heat or the stove. My parents are looking for somewhere else for us to stay, but it's proven to be a rather long process. Yes, my sister and I live at home. We cannot drive and rely on our mom to take us to work. We are learning how to drive at the moment and saving up for a car. Despite us being late bloomers, we are not moochers. We are trying our best to become independent. Others have learned this early, but we've had setbacks in our journey. Luckily we're doing this now instead of being 30 and fully relying on our parents. When we get our new place, my parents want us to pay one bill each. Of course, we like the arrangement because we don't expect to live in our parent's house for free and we're willing fo help out. But I'm just so sad that we live this way. There's so many holes in the trailer where bugs and mice get in. Everytime it rains, disgusting roaches come in​​​. It doesn't matter how clean we keep it. The floorboards are near collapse. And now we have mold growing that's spreading throughout the trailer. It's so upsetting. I desperately want things to change as quickly as possible, but for the better.

Full Meltdown Forced black representation is annoying

0 Upvotes

First we got black Ariel, they removed Eric's heroic scene to make Ariel look like a strong black woman (that bad stereotype) they also got the hair color wrong. Like 70% brown/black girls, (like me for example didn't ask for this) like, it feels so forced, I hate it. I'm tired of it. Anyone else? Because I feel scammed, I wanted a live remake of the original Disney movie, not a black remake,
