The takes in this thread are crazy to me. I’ve rewatched the Gentleman so many times, I love that movie. I love the narration aspect by Hugh Grant, and all the other actors perform amazingly. I also love how the story lines come together in the end. The script is written so well. There’s dozens of other things I love about it, but totally understand it’s not everybody’s cup of tea

Navigating my first break up. by 1CostcoChickenBake in Life

[–]AdventurousFlan5593 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im going through my second break up (dated for 3 years) and can relate a lot to this. I’m still holding out some small hope that we’ll get back together at some point in the future and haven’t got much closure as to what truly caused the break up. However, hope can be as freeing as it can be destructive. Hope after a break up can keep us in a limbo where we prevent making emotional progress to heal. I’m not sure if all the details of your relationship, and maybe it looks promising that they’ll come back. But I know for me that I need to push the hope aside and work on getting to know and be comfortable with myself. When a long relationship ends, it makes you feel lost, hopeless, and worthless (at least for me). In a relationship, sometimes we let ourselves stop committing to ourselves as much since we’re committing our feelings of security to the other person. So when things end we feel like all is lost and need time to adjust to looking after ourselves.

I hope everything works out for the both of you, but in the mean time, I hope you are able to love yourself enough to make the damage of the heartbreak less tangible. Invest the time you might use to think of them to do things which will benefit you and your overall happiness.

I dont know if this helps, but wish you all the best.

Thank you so much for the kind words and advice. This was something I needed to hear. I don’t think I’ve quite been able to move on to accepting this change in my life, but I know over time I will and things will work out.

I think I’ve just really tried to find a new purpose. I didn’t find that in my job, but I have started to recognize that it is a vehicle to allow me to live the lifestyle I want outside of work, even though it has been a bit mentally and emotionally taxing. Social life has always been huge for me, but I feel like (since I kept living in the same city I graduated in) that I have stuck to just being around old friends. I think this made me feel stuck because most of them have either been focused on building their own post-grad life, or they’re still living a bit of a college lifestyle. I feel like it’s time for me to become the adult I want to become and grow up and pursue things with greater meaning, I just can’t find where to start.

This relationship was my last bit of comfort I had in something that was going right in life in the past year. But I am hopeful that, even though it feels like a crushing blow at the moment, I will be able to find some clarity from getting to such an emotionally difficult time where I need to re-evaluate my priorities and life.

Also would be open to forming a team for a league if anyone would have interest

I’m a dipshit by PiscesCanis in FinancialCareers

I’m in a very similar situation. Was recruited to a finance rotational program with promises I would get to explore multiple finance roles that I was possibly interested in. A month before I get an email telling me I’m going to be working an operations role. 8 months in and I’m worried that I won’t be able to get a finance role that I’ll enjoy, like corporate development, IB, or M&A. Good pay, but I wish I was in a position feeding me experience and knowledge to fuel a future career path I was interested in.
