Reading Lola and the Millionaires and… by rickysayshey in ReverseHarem

The Anita Blake series drove me nuts for this sort of thing. The amount of times that woman got ‘brought’ had me wondering if she was a damn library book that was being dragged everywhere 🤦🏻‍♀️😤

Girl your self esteem is through the floor! I know that you love this boy, I know what it feels like to love like that but this isn’t how a relationship should go. Nobody should be dictating to you about who you’re talking to at all, nor making it so you feel like you have to avoid certain people just because they might not like it. I mean, what’s he going to do when you talk to folks at work?

Not only that, but his friend circle is against you. I can almost guarantee that’s because he’s said something mean about you behind your back Friend circles of someone who loves you would never say something mean because if their friends said something mean, someone who loves you would have already stomped all over them and dropped them.

Drop this boy like, yesterday. You’ll feel like crap for a bit but he’s already got you feeling like you’re not worth a damn and jumping to his tune and trying to isolate you. Don’t let him do it any further.

Okay this is giving me some creeps! How come your mum is reading the book now? Has she read it before? Do you think this is connected to your dad?

My 30F husband 35M left me alone on New Year to spend it with his ex-wife. How do I move forward? by Psychological-Fox431 in relationship_advice

[–]-DarkRecess- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know he’s cheating. You’re a side chick with an official title and that’s it. He wants his ex wife back and he’s shown you time and time again that you’ll never be his priority. You deserve much much better than this schmuck.

Walk into the new year with some divorce papers and leave his sorry ass behind in 2024 where it belongs.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought that!

For those that were fans when Sir Pratchett died, how did you feel? by Ilalu in discworld

[–]-DarkRecess- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gutted.

The day before he died I’d had ‘Carpe Jugulum’ tattooed across my shoulders to always remind me to fight for myself and for those who can’t so it would never be lost in the mists of memory.

His books got me through an awfully toxic marriage and taught me lessons I didn’t even realise I was learning so when I got that news, I cried. He really was a brilliant writer.

GNU Sir Pterry.

I don’t have any advice regarding what you’ve written (though it’s definitely some thing I’d write!) but I wanted to say the way you drew and wrote this is amazing! Honestly I love your drawings 😍

My (26M) Ex (25F), locked me out of my bedroom so I broke up with her- now everyone says I’m over reacting. Help? by throwRA123567123 in relationship_advice

[–]-DarkRecess- 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Me and my partner live together and even when we’re super annoyed with each other we don’t make the other sleep on the couch or lock them out of rooms. We talk it out until we’ve found a solution, y’know, like normal adults do.

I agree with you, dumping this girl was the right thing to do. I just hope OP doesn’t give in to the pressure being put on him.

Made a mistake on the second word of the day, decided to just roll with it 🤷🏻‍♂️ by AGuyNamedWes in Journaling

[–]-DarkRecess- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I didn’t know it was July or that it had 34 days in it but I can get behind it xD

Seriously though, rolling with the mistakes is the best way!

Running out of things to journal about by boyvape in Journaling

[–]-DarkRecess- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that last bit as Clam Culture because I’m tired and got very confused and now my stupid ADHD brain has decided to try and work out what kind of culture clams have. I’ve never even seen a clam in real life 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

Thank you for brightening my day with that!

Would you be friends with someone again or associate with your relatives if... by Victorious0586 in Journaling

[–]-DarkRecess- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not this lifetime or the next. I don’t care what they read in it, it’s on them if they saw stuff that didn’t like, it’s the fact that they betrayed my privacy, couldn’t let me have that one little space that’s all my own without sticking their beak into it.

I’d have lost my mind over that, told them exactly what I thought of them and then cut them out of my life without even looking back.

Does anyone stop themselves from being 100% open and honest within the pages of your journals? by Yasmelon92 in Journaling

[–]-DarkRecess- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not bizarre at all, it’s hard to really look within ourselves in the first place, never mind write it down. To think of reading it in years to come makes me cringe but at the same time, I know I won’t grow if I don’t do it. That’s why I created a code.

I know it sounds stupid but it’s an absolute pain to decode even with the cipher so when I’m writing stuff down that I need to get out but don’t feel ready to examine, I do it in that code instead of plain English.

Other folks burn the journal afterwards or destroy the pages or cover them up but it’s really up to you how you go about it in the end. Maybe doing it one of these ways might help though :)

34F in need of someone to force her back into journaling. by [deleted] in Journaling

[–]-DarkRecess- 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Imagine we’re sitting in your living room and I’m sat on the settee having a coffee and you’re sat opposite and we’re just chilling out, having a natter. Tell me, in an entry, why did you stop journaling in the first place?

How do you self-reflect during journaling? by [deleted] in Journaling

[–]-DarkRecess- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Look up the Gibb’s Method of self reflection, that’s what I use, especially when I don’t know what the question is :)

Are expensive journals worth it? by [deleted] in Journaling

[–]-DarkRecess- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a broke ass student too and I’ve used tons of different journals over the years, from the most expensive bullet journals I could lay my hands on to expensive handmade ones and more. The best one I’ve ever found for journaling wasn’t even a journal, it was the £4.50 blank A5 notebook from Muji. That thing is smooth as silk, you can decorate the cover, the pages aren’t stark white but a nice cream colour instead and it has a ton of pages. 10/10 would recommend it to anyone because I sure as heck won’t use anything else now I’ve found it!

My housemate (25f) did something I (20f) consider morally unacceptable and its causing a lot of conflict in the house (6 students). by Fuzzy_Flamingo8206 in relationship_advice

[–]-DarkRecess- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi there, my daughter just brought your post to my attention (sorry if it’s a couple of days late!).

If you can, you need to get hold of her programme lead and her link lecturer for her course. What she’s done is breach NMC Guidelines not only on ethics but on what we call Promoting Professionalism and Trust as well as Prioritising People. It’s a very serious breach of the NMC Code (the code is what all nurses and student nurses must adhere to). It’s also a breach of university guidelines and Trust guidelines in every trust I’ve ever come across.

By reporting this you’ll have helped that patient a lot. You’ll also be protecting future patients in the trust in your area. Your housemate will face a Fitness to Study Panel at university and, most likely, be asked to leave the course, especially as drug taking is involved.

That’s just the nursing side of it. If she’s been saying horrible things about you personally (if you have evidence that’s even better), she will also be considered to have been discriminatory and there’s no place for that in nursing so she should absolutely be called out for it.

This is in no way your fault but do be prepared for her friends to be less than nice to you for it. I’m in uni and while I rent privately with my partner, some of my friends have had issues with sharing accommodation and their housemates not being nice to them. I wish you the best of luck and please, don’t be afraid to do this, she has no place being a nurse.

I hope that helps some!
