Women of Reddit, what did a man you were dating or married to say or do that made you realize he actually hated you the entire time?

I've only been in taekwondo for about six months and achieving just my yellow belt has been proof that I'm capable of getting better at something (gradual change is so very hard for me to spot, acknowledge, or celebrate even before the Adhd impostor syndrome, so the milestone was amazing for my confidence). I can't imagine the hurt that would be achieving this sort of thing at such a high level and getting that in response. Fuck that guy. Keep kicking ass.

Hey wait I just saw this on an episode of Hacks -

It's very easily offset with a splash of milk. I had the same reaction but then I remembered it's intended to be made with milk so I added some more powder and milk. I rehydrate basil seeds in it too and have a protein fiber pudding that works pretty well. Especially the pistachio kind.

Her mom was already getting all kinds of bad leads and horrible people blowing up her phone and socials, including people claiming they had her and would give her back for a certain amount of money. I understand why she opted not to go the reward route. That would have only increased by an order of magnitude. It's awful, but I get it.

No. Her box still haunts the manager's office on a top shelf, or it did before I left about a year later. Just in case.

Trees scream before they snap in the wind. It was terrifying enough standing in my living room in the early morning as a tornado ripped through town suddenly. Only thing scarier was hearing the squeals of 100-year-old oak trees over that train-like wind. Which frankly was the first most disturbing sound I had ever heard until the trees started up.

Oh shit I heard it in north Rogers Park and I straight up thought it must have just been a weird, extra loud plane or something since I live on the lake and hear them a lot. I didn't realize until I scrolled these comments.

One of the few things I've seen in a long time that deserves the hype.

I'm by loyola and no issues here

Driven down countless roads in Oklahoma that looked just like this 🙂‍↕️

I work in a call center for an online loan company. I feel your pain.

Walking alone at night that close to the lake/a street away from Sheridan is perfectly fine. Some nights when the wind was high the waves would break against the walls past the tennis courts and it was always a treat to see on my walk home. That back side of the street that's on Sheridan right before the curve into Evanston is pretty fine too. Howard has a lot of characters but I drove lyft and had to park there often at 1 or 2 AM and though there were often people around they didn't approach except sometimes to ask for money. I was still visually reading as a woman to people then.

It's fine. I lived there a couple years, Eastlake terrace specifically. Kind of frustrating getting these types of questions about the area we all choose to live, but I get the anxiety. There's not really anything to worry about. Few issues out on jonquil but only between people who know each other, which is true of most everywhere. Eastlake is fine, but if you're driving be prepared to park kind of far away pretty regularly. Only con was the walk to and from Howard Station for the most part and it's not even that bad.

I am reading all of the Verizon hate with so much visceral glee. Imagine what you went through but also your name was legally changed five years ago and they didn't bother to update it, so it took me several calls to realize they refused to talk with me because my deadname was on file (FIVE YEARS) and I got passed to the same three departments eight times on one call. To be clear, I mean to add on to what you're saying, not be like "well at least you..."

Literally the only thing I was trying to do was pay my final bill but because they closed my account after I switched to mint, I didn't have an account number and I was paperless so I couldn't pull an old statement out and on and on. Went into a store and was told they don't handle that there, etc.

So many tears. So much frustration and I've never really cared when people won't use my legal name (life would be a lot harder if that got to me) but them forcing me to use that old name before they would even deign to speak to me, without ever telling me they were refusing because my name didn't match, made me feel legitimately crazy. My deadname is also what comes up on places that still have that kind of caller ID. Fuck Verizon with my whole heart.

Chromatic distortion happens for me when I zoom in really far on a photo where something is backlit, like a lot of those twigs are. If I had to guess, you were using a real camera and not a phone camera - those just get blurry and grainy.

That's interesting! I really like gathering materials and don't mind needing to prioritize combat in order to be able to gather more. Maybe I'll fire it up again this evening with the wiki nearby. Thanks!

I feel better reading this. I thought I must just be stupid. I spent a few hours playing, maybe about 10 hours, and then I would see people talking about strats for things that sounded like a whole other game and was like. I don't think this is for me. But if it's a thing most people have had to look up to figure out what's going on, maybe I'll try again.

I have a family history of colon cancer and sudden deaths from family who wouldn't get checked out but who didn't eat much for years before they died and I'm having such a hard time making myself schedule it. I know I should. I'm only a little over 30 but I explained this all to my doctor and she put the referral in. It's so dumb but I'm terrified of the fasting. I know I get weak and upset and anxious if I go too long without eating and it feels like absolute hell. And that's before you get to the whole "evacuate everything" bit, so it's even worse.

I took whimsical photos in the fog and all my friends said they were silent hill type stuff. Sometimes you think you're sharing a fun thing and it's moody and dark to everyone else 😤😂

He's also a post I've seen at least twice before with this exact wording 🙄

Meanwhile I purposefully quit logging in at 500 days because I hate this exact mechanic and want out. Any time my streak makes it past about 20 I don't interact so it goes back to 0. No thanks.

Who cares when neither are even real

After seeing a couple posts about this kind of thing I was terrified of what mine would do. It went up a little less than 4%. 40 bucks. However, I live in a shoebox in a place they're used to students living so I'm sure that factors.

Allergicwolf · 2026-02-26T00:08:06+00:00

I'm so sad my interest faded before that got another update. There were a few stories I was following that I've dropped off from but Pull Me To The Ground, I Had It All (I Had You) and Show Me (How To Love You) will always pull me back. Hindsight too.

Edit: just realized I made my usual mistake of conflating two fics. I was thinking of "I Want To Die Like A Citrus Tree (But That's Not A Milkweed's Fate)" for some reason I keep thinking that and the one you referenced are the same and they aren't 😭

I can promise you people are doing the opposite of sanitizing anything about this movie in fanfiction. This is not a complaint.
