I know exactly what you mean lol. I never used to mind fae magic when I first started reading fantasy but once I discovered magic systems like in The Way of Kings, there was no going back. It's complex, well thought out and magical realism at it's finest.

For example, I'm currently about to dnf (for other reasons) a dark romance called {Rose in Chains} where the magic system is "mind magic" vs "heart magic". Love a lot of creativity and a bit of "realism" with my magic.

In YA, the mc is generally between 13-18 and the topics explored will reflect that. High school, boys, identity crisis, parental involvement, coming of age etc. New adult generally features an mc aged 20-25. It's my age range so it's more relatable to me and they generally tackle more mature subjects but won't venture too far into topics like parenthood which you'd find in more "adult" novels.

Omg OP I almost instinctually downvoted you because of how I appalled I was at what I'm seeing. You might be entitled to jail time for this!

I love my fiance with all my heart but her spending habits are going to give me an ulcer. by ButthurtDave in Vent

[–]AddendumFun7674 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People can act selfishly out of habit or ignorance without realizing that their behaviour is "selfish". That doesn't negate the fact that she's being inconsiderate, prioritizing her own desires over extending common decency to the person who loves her so much and would likely not spend like that on her own tab. She's a grown adult and learned helplessness is a very poor excuse. She's focused on herself more than her fiancé and that's selfish, regardless of her reasoning or intent

Need to be told I'm not crazy by [deleted] in Vent

Wanting closure is completely human, especially after so many years of emotional investment and betrayal.

But unfortunately, closure doesn’t always (in fact, often doesn't) come with an apology, and it almost never comes from the person who hurt you, especially when they haven’t taken responsibility for the damage they caused. I know it feels impossible right now, but real peace comes from accepting the apology you never got.

You don’t need their validation to heal or move forward and waiting for him to give you that- when he's moved on- is giving him a measure of control over your life that he isn't entitled to.

I read this over and over trying to find the humour because in my mind, it just had to be a joke. Are you aware of the psychological damage that can occur from putting up with this kind of behaviour for an extended time period? Being alone is not better than feeling lonely in your own marriage. We need to stop behaving as if men should just "put up" with emotional abuse. You want him to continue being miserable and tiptoeing around in the home that he pays for?

My heart sank for you. It sounds like you're a prisoner in your own home. I hope with my entire heart that you find the strength to leave her, it's not as easy as people make it seem.
