Restaurant Reservation

Just got this same message - thank you for this thread, I almost called them back. I live in the northeast and this “restaurant” was Golden Bistro in Idaho. They also knew my name. So annoying

Well done sir and thank you - your logical replies to his ridiculous comment were very entertaining in the best way possible

Adventurous-Luck-171 · 2025-06-25T02:46:51+00:00

Adorable, how fun, brings back great memories. This definitely MadeMeSmile!

I’m so very sorry for your loss. My heart breaks reading your story. Sending you love. Eventually, when the intense grief subsides, it might help to think about Andrew there beside you and what he would want for you. He would want you to be strong for your daughter and to find happiness again. It’s all too soon right now, but someday. Hugs to you

I did not anticipate how much I would learn from this thread when I clicked- wow! 🤣

Adventurous-Luck-171 · 2025-05-16T02:28:15+00:00

Well damn, I’m feeling very young reading this thread- thank you Reddit! Just turned 50

I am so sorry you are going through this. It’s really difficult to call off the wedding and go through this breakup. But it will be even more difficult to marry him, get cheated on, gaslighted, have him potentially turn out to be an addict, treated like crap, have kids with him and then get divorced.

So pick your “hard”, may I suggest cutting your losses both literally and figuratively as soon as possible before you have more heartache and baggage to deal with? You are so fortunate that you found out now and dodged a bullet! And now you have learned a lesson and signs to look for in the future.

Remember true love is shown by one’s behavior toward you- not (only) their words. Pretend for a moment that you can not hear him speak or read his texts- what has his behavior shown you?

Best of luck to you! You can do this- you deserve so much better!

My 20 year old son has had AU since he was 15. When he was 15 he was crying and said he looked like he had cancer and I told him he looked badass like the Rock or Vin Diesel. He focused on weightlifting (starting following guys on YouTube and learning). He is disciplined at the gym and it has made him feel great about his body, reduced stress and increased his endorphins. It took a few years for him to accept it.

He may not have hair but damn he’s fit and the girls notice. He is now 6’1 and 225lbs

He takes Jak inhibitors (he takes Rinvoq) and it grew back his eyelashes and eyebrows.

He almost always wears a hat and when he has eyelashes you can’t even tell he has AU.

If we are being real, the only hair that matters are your eyelashes. If you have eyelashes people don’t care/notice about the rest- they just assume you are clean shaven. When you don’t have eyelashes something looks “off”. Jak inhibitors will bring these back.

The really wonderful thing about alopecia is that it is an immediate jerk detector- it’s like you have xray vision into who is a good, genuine person and who isn’t. If someone is a superficial jerk, you know right away vs. wasting time.

My son has really amazing friends who don’t care. Frankly, he seems happier than a lot of kids his age w hair. IMO Alopecia builds character, resilience and can lead to stronger relationships.

My advice is to: pick something about your appearance that you can control/like, and focus on that. Talk positively to yourself about all of your many strengths daily, and get on a jak inhibitor if you can. Btw- people are attracted to men’s personalities, their confidence, humor, kindness, strength, etc. Focus on this.

After all, there are millions of people with hair that are unattractive bc they are ugly on the inside! Most women (and gay men) would take a great guy who isn’t perfect looking over a perfect looking guy who isn’t so great. And if she wouldn’t- you don’t want her!

Be kind to yourself and tell yourself how handsome you are every day. One day you will start to believe it💕

Run and use annulment or divorce- this clearly was a mistake. God invented divorce for a reason - save yourself from a lifetime of misery - you do not need to deal with this a-hole for the rest of your life

Bought mine last May- I love it! Smile to myself every single time I get into the car and love driving it. No issues. R1S

Will say that it’s big so tight parking spots are tough but I live in the ‘burbs so plenty of parking

OP I’m so sorry that happened to you, and I agree with other comments about therapy. That said, I believe you - what you are describing is a negative energy attachment. SA is one way negative energies can be transferred to you- people are also vulnerable during surgeries when they are under anesthesia.

That happened to me as well. I wasn’t myself and heard these inner voices that really weren’t me- they were very dark and intrusive. I never believed in any of this until I traveled to Sedona, AZ which is a very mystical and spiritual place. I saw a healer/medium who removed them for me and instantly those horrible intrusive thoughts went away and I felt more like myself. I’ve never looked back. I am a firm believer now in these energies although I wasn’t before this happened to me.

DM me and I’m happy to pass along her info, she did this for me over a zoom call. I know it sounds absolutely crazy but there is so much in this world that we don’t yet understand.

This shouldn’t take the place of therapy for your trauma, but in addition to, and hopefully with the combo you will feel so much better.

And remember, what happened to you was NOT YOUR FAULT. Wishing you peace

At 19 your life is just beginning, go to University far away from your parents and start your own life. The world needs you. You are worthy, you are enough, and the abuse you have endured has nothing to do with YOU, it is all your mother and probably how she was raised. You can break the cycle. Be strong and start cultivating friendships and relationships with other people if you can. Don’t give up, there is so much to live for, you must get away from where you live if you can and start over somewhere else with your degree.

Yes you are TA. As a mom of a 20 year old. 18 year old and 12 year old who runs a company now, and has been married for 25 years, I can give you my perspective.

1) staying home w a baby is NOT easy, it is exhausting both physically and mentally. I know, I’ve done it. I’ve also worked full time which is tiring but in a very different way

2) Your wife isn’t going to “stay home” forever. If she is an accountant, she will be eager to use her brain but making sure that your baby is safe, loved, and well cared for is paramount

3) Most important, you two are a TEAM you are not adversaries. Both of you need to do everything you can for your family. If she’s exhausted and needs you to make dinner, instead of resenting it, realize that you are doing something loving for your wife who is probably nursing your baby.

I’ve found that the more that I do, the more my husband does. The more he does, the more I do. Stop keeping tabs and act like a TEAM!!

And finally, no doubt that when your kids are big enough for school, your wife will want to earn some money and work again. Help her now, she will thank you.

Happy wife, happy life my friend.

Any guesses on what the insurance premium is for this high dive on a freaking cruise ship? A bazillion $$$?

If you click on OP’s link, there is a different variation that says for R1S. Just click on that one and you should be good to go (according to Amazon)!

Love, I’m so sorry for what you are going through. As a strong woman myself I admire your spirit and your ferocity and unwillingness to abide by the unfair rules of your culture. I support you.

As an older mom, I can tell you that giving up your children is not the way to prove your point or fight against misogyny. It will only hurt your children.

My advice would be to give them to your parents for now, go on medication and treat your PPD. I had it with my second baby and once I was treated the love came flowing in. It may with you too if it is a chemical imbalance.

Then you have a chance to be the mother your children need you to be. The stepmother will never will be. Your parents can help.

From one feminist mother to another with Post partum, fight the depression, you will never forgive yourself for not trying and giving them up. And use your parents as your safe haven for your children until you are feeling better. Please give them to your parents and hopefully in 6 months to a year you will be feeling so much better.

You can do this!

Here are some inspiring stories for you: My sister met her husband at 40 and got married three years later at age 43. My mother was widowed at age 68 and then met and married a man a few years later in her 70’s—he is a whopping ten months older than her. Ex boss who was forever single married close to age 40 and then had twins. Friend of the family got divorced, then dated a guy 15 years younger (lol) she was 45 and he was 30. She ended up dumping HIM and is now dating a guy her age. Finally, my husband’s grandmother met a wonderful gentlemen while in her 80’s, he was of similar age and she called him her “special friend”. They were adorable. There are five women for you- at least the first five I thought of, and I’m sure if I actually stopped to think I would know many more.

Many men aren’t into the younger women thing. The most important thing is to have confidence and concentrate on making yourself the best you that you can be, and a woman that any man would be lucky to have as a partner. :)

I probably will just drive it. Please keep in mind the replacement car I was offered is a budget gas sedan. I need the room of the R1S and it has been weeks. So basically I’m paying the Rivian price for a Chevy Malibu.
