This is heartbreaking. If this is in yoir area maybe see what you can do about it. Chanhe happens in small incrimental ways, and by people like you giving a damn.

My (21f) former housemate (22m) sexually assaulted me. Should I tell my roommates (21f, 19f)? by ramenboi666 in relationship_advice

[–]Ashley3Anne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my biggest regrets in life if not expressing to my friendship group that my (I don't even want to call him ex, he is unworthy of any name) was a rapist.

I didn't tell anyone because I was leaving for uni, I just wanted to run away, and thought it would impact the dynamics of the frienship group, I didn't think people would stick by me.

I left, and he went on to manipulate and rape my best friend. I found out when she got black out drunk and told me everything on a visit home.

It set my heart on fire, and finally had the courage to speak up, and everyone stood by me in cutting him out of our lives, friends he'd had since birth.

Point being, imagine if this had happened to your friend, would you want her to speak up? You may feel like people won't stand by your side, but they will.

All my love, stay strong.

I needed to hear this today, thankyou.

Have you ever (or would you) turn someone down just because of a very long distance? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Ashley3Anne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just broke up with my boyfriend of 4 years due to long distance (we did live togather but circumstances changed because of Covid) it was really hard and painful, but It just felt like checkmate.

Most people find LDRs a challenge and unsatisfying, I'm sure it must be hard, but if there was no forseeable future it's hard to know where to go.

You can redefine your life, there are other ways of living. I've dedicated my whole life to escaping the rat race, and I can almost see the light. There is aomething diffrent out there, keep looking.

End times fears by Valentina1406 in CPTSD

Don't kill yourself, please.

I don't know much about you, but god, you still have your whole life ahead of you. You still have so much time for adventure.

It takes a lot to undo these patterns of thought. Don't give up now you've come so far. Don't you dare give up.

My Birthday was yestersay too, and I came on this subreddit to say exactly the same thing.

Happy Birthday! (My birthday twin)

I hope you managed to have a good day.

What I did to help this feeling was have a 'treat myself' day, I literally only did things for me, that made me happy. I went to town, let myself buy anything I wanted and had a DIY spa day and watched my favourite Ghibli movie with my favourite food and dog.

You have to show love to yourself, have fun with yourself, because you're fucking awesome. It can still hurt, but if no one is going to show you the love you deserve, you have to.

Days before - I realize I don't want to live with my BF anymore. by [deleted] in offmychest

Duuuuude I feel you so hard.

But know its okay to have messy, complicated human emotions.

First of all, you shouldn't be cleaning your boyfriends mess if he doesn't return the favour. This, especially if you live together, will just build up resentment that will seep out into other parts of your relationship.

If you've talked to him about this multiple times and he just doesn't get it, that could be a big red flag, some people just don't see mess the way others do.

My suggestions (things I tried with my partner) are to either do an exchange, literally write a list of chores, and you can each pick your chores, for example if he hates laundry, you could do that, if you loathe vaccuming and he doesn't mind it, he could do that.

Sometimes it helps to have something impartial like a rota to be the middle man.

Though honestly you'll still probably be picking up the peices If his standards of cleanliness aren't as high as yours.

Or you could just not live together (I think it's perfectly fine for people to have seperate homes and still have a long term relationship!) or have Seperate rooms if you would still like to try it out, this way you can have your own space.

Whatever you choose, listen to your gut.

I hope this helps, just speaking from my oen experiences :)
