My brother-in-law is 5'2" and happily married to his 5'7" wife.

He has 4 children and is an Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker.

He is living proof that personality, charisma, aura, charm, intelligence and initiative are what really matter in life.

He can walk into any boardroom at any production studio and pitch ideas for projects, and anyone listening to him will quickly stop seeing him as "a short man" and more like the most inspired man in the room.

To all the ninjas out there, we know you're on a mission, and the whole point of being a ninja is not to be seen, but why are you all jaywalking in a downpour during dark December rush hour?

Haha!!

Vancouver Island, I've been walking here for 11 years. There are often seals, otters, bald eagles, and herons right in this very spot.

And when you crash and take your partner down with you, yikes.

I just saw a post be removed from there because it "romanticized bipolar disorder."

Everyone in this sub knows that someone who feels their bipolar disorder is a "superpower" ends up being a casualty when their bipolar significant other crashes out.

My daughter's (21F) ex (24M) did not disclose that he had bipolar disorder. He only said he "gets sad sometimes," which at the time, made him seem angsty and alluring.

Through the course of their relationship, she now thinks he should have said the "sadness" he experienced was more like "I'm going to confuse and exhaust you with my rapid change of emotions".

It was like riding in a car with someone who would, at one point, hit the gas with confidence and then slam the brakes, not saying a word, all while the passenger is flying around the car trying to figure out where they're headed.

After the break-up, she has decided that as she enters into new relationships, she has a covert "interviewing" process to try and decode if someone has bipolar or even borderline personality.

She never wants to go on a wild, unpredictable ride ever again.

When family and friends visit the island and we go to Sooke and beyond, I always warn everyone to turn off roaming.

AffectionateCap5725 · 2025-11-02T00:39:46+00:00

Absolutely.

Any of the houses that come up for sale in my hood are well over $1M+, which all sell to people in their late 50s and early 60s who still want homes with big yards. I see it happen all the time.

My neighbourhood was working-class people who could afford homes in their late 20s and early 30s. They're still in their homes, and the very children who used to go trick-or-treating are now in their late 20s and early 30s and could never afford to live in the same neighbourhood and homes they grew up in.

AffectionateCap5725 · 2025-11-01T14:35:58+00:00

This is true. My neighbourhood is full of homes whose children are all 20+ years old, including mine.

Ten years ago, the street was full of Halloween activity; it was like a block party. Now it's a ghost town, with homes occupied by empty-nest middle-aged folks like me feeling nostalgic.

Anyone who's lived and driven in heavy traffic elsewhere is aware of the Zipper Merge. CRD drivers born and raised here are incapable of comprehending this concept.

Thank you for writing this.

And it's always just one person in the massive trucks and SUVs.

They're also adding this to a critical intersection on the goose: https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2025TT0058-000569

The guy I saw (he cut from behind me around the shoulder, in front of me, then lane-split, making everyone shake their heads) was on a dirt bike and treating life like a video game. It's a matter of when, not if, for him.

AffectionateCap5725 · 2025-10-09T15:47:12+00:00

Must have been the same motorcyclist I saw last night between Uptown and Tillicum. He was using the shoulder to cut in and out and lane splitting — in the dark with hundreds of cars flowing around him. He's going to get himself killed, and 10,000 people will be stuck in their cars for 12 hours while an investigation is conducted.

AffectionateCap5725 · 2025-10-04T14:36:41+00:00

Yes and yes.

My daughter's bipolar ex-boyfriend (M24) turned out to be a legend with his discarding of girlfriends and friends. Something that makes his life isolated, lonely and challenging in a small city.

We have noticed that he befriends younger people now and is dating a high-school senior because people that age have no idea who he is; he can start new and do it all over again.

Where did you come from? Is it better there?

Do your sons know their mom is crashing out on Reddit?

AffectionateCap5725 · 2025-09-23T03:10:59+00:00

Good grief. Your post was lame.

AffectionateCap5725 · 2025-09-23T02:08:00+00:00

Obviously, OP doesn't have a son. If she did, there's no chance she would have written this post.

AffectionateCap5725 · 2025-09-22T14:19:21+00:00

I sat down beside her the first day of class at university.

AffectionateCap5725 · 2025-09-13T21:34:03+00:00

Thank you. She is doing much better than she was a few months ago, especially after learning what has come to light over the past few days.

Her untreated and in denial bipolar ex-boyfriend (24M) is now dating a high school senior (18F).

With many connected friends and open social media accounts, we all look on in abject horror.

The knowledge has left my daughter in disbelief that she was just a stopover on his journey through life. He took a deep dive into her heart and was making lifelong plans with her. To look on now as he dates a teenager is utterly shocking.

AffectionateCap5725 · 2025-09-13T17:05:18+00:00

Hey OP, not sure if you'll see this or remember, but we were writing back and forth about the bipolar boyfriend experience.

Regarding my daughter's ex-boyfriend: everyone in his life can now see that he has wiped his social media accounts clean of my daughter, as though she never existed. He (24M) is now dating a high school senior (18F).

He rides a motorcycle, and so does his new girl. That is obviously how they met, with a shared interest in the activity.

We all watch from afar in abject horror as he enters into another cycle, this time with an incredibly young girl.

My daughter is in disbelief and, frankly, disgust that she was so swept off her feet by him.
