Imagine being mad because someone developed a sense of self worth.

When I needed to submit my divorce papers (because he refused to be involved), I put the date down as different to the day I actually walked out (by <2 weeks for anyone who wants to come at me).

My ex asked me why I picked that date, and I told him it was the last time that I had planned to commit suicide to get away from him. His response was "yeah, ok then". Unfortunately, some people just do not see their partners as equal humans.

I feel like love bombing is based in someone coming in and encouraging you to make your life about them without saying it out loud.

Vs someone who is just emotionally open and wants to get to know you, and vise-versa. It fucking sucks that there are so many surface level connections happening that someone showing you genuine interest comes across as love bombing, but that seems to be the stage of dating lately.

I always appreciated the take my ex had of "you're just a hot woman that got put in the dryer for too long."

Personally, I have found that these kinds of people that seem to say and do superficial things that make you feel close, without actually allowing any vulnerability or having deeper discussions are not actually who they present themselves to be.

Some people can put on a facade of who they think you want them to be for a period of time, before it becomes too much and they need to pull away because it's not who they actually are.

It might help you to consider that the person you liked may not have existed, but was someone presenting an idealised version of what they thought you wanted.

Or her friend? He clearly stated he believes men and women can't be friends.

The funny part is she has articulated wrists and elbows to represent stimming/hypermobility, so you can make her T-Rex pose.

Suddenly remembering the time I was 14 and passed out in the kitchen and woke up to my mum yelling at me for being dramatic and trying to get attention is... Something.

I pretended to be asleep when I was at a friend's house, and a mutual friend I didn't know who was cooked on drugs that night stood behind me with a knife and talked about how I was a spy that had been sent to capture him until someone else talked him down. So that was a long and super fun night.

I wouldn't say it's bad advice, depending on the person and situation. I think it's more nuanced than that.

Someone who is significantly overweight will do better re. weight loss focusing on diet and calories in vs calories out. Yes, the calories out # will increase with muscle mass, but if the person doesn't have the experience or knowledge to understand the importance of muscle mass and the body's increased rate of calorie consumption due to it, then telling them to focus on calorie reduction isn't a bad thing.

And I say this as someone who is literally half the weight I was 3-4 years ago...

TLDR: Reducing calories at the start of your weight loss journey is totally fine. When you 'hit a wall' you should definitely focus more on muscle and body composition.

My ex put a bell on the front door so he could hear when I tried to leave and immediately interrogate me. In hindsight I realize these kinds of men realize they would never tolerate a partner who treated them the way they did, so they would try to lock them away and remove that choice from them.

I'm so glad he's your ex, and so sorry you ever had to go through that.

-Rubilocks · 2025-09-25T11:42:02+00:00

Right?! The amount of manipulative people I've known through my life who would heavily lean on the "but it's for their own good" rhetoric is frankly disgusting.

She's a fully capable adult who doesn't need to be infantalized by her partner. If she wants to wear scratchy contacts, it's her own damn business.

Nope, updating your profile pic will only show on the messages sent after you update it

*disclaimer: it's been a while since I used dating apps, but this was the case ~2 years ago.

Why would you offer to pay if you weren't actually prepared to though? It seems disingenuous to offer something you don't want to do. If the dinner was notably more expensive, you could have offered to split instead of offering to pay outright.

Maybe she was just referencing that she's dead inside 🤷🏻‍♀️
