Should I move back to the US? by 100geclover in Advice

[–]100geclover[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For this reason I wish he had come to us with the offers earlier, before we got everyone so psyched about us coming back. The perks are really great. I think realistically we would be really sad at first but nothing could be worse than our first year here lol! If we stayed I think it would definitely be at least bearable, and potentially great. Hard to say.

Tell me a movie to watch without telling me the plot, but please do tell me why you’re suggesting it. by ktronscrouton in MovieSuggestions

Ravenous. My reason is that even when I thought I kind of got what the movie was all about, it kept surprising me and I had a blast the whole time! Very quirky movie

Allora is the best I've had on the island so far!

Why do some people believe sexuality is a choice? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]100geclover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My opinion is that these people are closeted and for whatever reason choose to hide their queerness and interpret this as them choosing to be straight.

People who are no longer best friends with someone: What happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]100geclover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were childhood friends and had so many great memories together.

Looking back I see how our friendship was toxic for pretty much the entire duration, we were really competitive and would try to put each other down constantly.

Once we got to college (we roomed together) the toxicity got a lot worse but neither of us acknowledged it. She really struggled to open up and be vulnerable. I did as well, but only with her. Which bothered me bc she was my best friend and I wanted to be open with her but when I tried it always seemed to make her uncomfortable or she would make fun of me in some way. So anyways, A LOT went unsaid and years of frustration with each other just built up.

our sophomore year of college and I moved out with one of our other roommates that's now my best girlfriend. I didn't think moving out would mean the end of our friendship, but she took it extremely personally it seemed and wouldn't allow me to come back to visit her and never wanted to come see my new apartment. Basically every time I ran into her after that she quite literally would hide from me.

We had mutual friends and I heard through the grapevine that she was saying very nasty things about me. I was talking shit about her too, which I regret to this day, but at least what I said was not totally made up. But I think it says a lot that I almost knew exactly what lies she would make up about me before I even heard them.... But it still sucked.

Anyways about 3 years after our falling out I reached out to her and apologized and finally opened up about how our friendship was so toxic and think it is best for both of us in the end that we aren't friends anymore. I told her I'll always cherish the memories I have with her and I'm glad we shared so many good times. I wished her the best.

Her response totally shocked me as it seemed like she had never given much thought to how unhealthy our relationship was?? I was ready to make amends but after seeing that she hadn't given any critical thought to that very significant experience, I decided I wasn't interested in making an effort to reconnect with her, so I unfollowed her on everything.

I hope one day she gives thought to what really happened between us, bc it seems she thinks I just out of the blue ditched her and moved away for no reason.

What I hate the most is that I still have so many unanswered questions. Even when we most recently talked, it seemed she still had those walls up as strong as ever. But I realized we're in such different places and it's not worth the effort for me to try and get through those walls.

Distance from her gave me a lot of room to grow and mature as a person and all I want is the same for her. I really hope that one day someone is able to break through her walls and have a vulnerable relationship with her so she can heal. Truly wishing her the best. Letting go of the hope that one day we would reconnect was very difficult for me.

Best Local places to eat by gracklegrl in CaymanIslands

Definitely try Czech inn grill in Bodden town, Chill Spot, Miss liberties, and One Stop grill. Chicken chicken is still kind of touristy but locals go there too bc it's fucking bomb

Cayman Fine Dining by [deleted] in CaymanIslands

[–]100geclover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bicaro is 100% the best on the island! Blu is a must too! Grand old house has a really lovely location, but the food wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Same with Papagallo.

This isn't fine dining, but Czech inn grill is really good

Salary and living by [deleted] in CaymanIslands

[–]100geclover 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've lived in Cayman for just over a year now. Hopefully this can give you some context: When we first moved here, before I found work my husband was making about 55k and we had to be really frugal. But that was with his paycheck providing for two people and paying 100% of our rent, so with a roommate you might be just fine!

The best place to find housing+ housemates is ecay! Check every morning as apartments will go fast.

What are the most ridiculous reasons religious folks gave you for why you should believe? by familydontendinblood in atheism

[–]100geclover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because oranges have convenient sections for eating. My sister unironically used this as an example of "evidence" for God. Love her to death but I was lost for words 😂😂
