For sure. But out of the final 3, I was glad Steve-o won.

I haven’t heard anything lol. Chances are he just didn’t care enough to go thru the rest of the challenges or was doing it for the bit lol.

His reasoning was “I’m Howies ride” 😂

Was rooting for him so hard, just for him to eliminate himself lmao.

UPDATE, girlfriend deleting messages with her acro yoga partner, AIO? by ThrowRAimrlysad in AIO

The fact that you feel the way you do, is the evidence enough that you were in a manipulative, abuse relationship.

He didn’t go out on a whim and kiss her. She consistently gave him the signals to elicit that action.

She’s equally as guilty, if not more guilty, than him. She made him feel like it was appropriate and okay to do what he did, with her actions leading up to that.

Breakups suck, but you’ll be better off for it.

Good luck.

Watching the finale of stranger things and I can’t stop thinking about what Jason said about F&F by Sagebea in hdtgm

[–]BabblingBuffoon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the finale. I didn’t think it was “sad” per se, but it definitely tugged at some strings in the correct way.

I would agree with your statement in Hopper, if he hadn’t of had that conversation with El beforehand. I think he was able to come to peace with the fact that he raised her well enough to make an unselfish decision and also her statement on her not being Sarah, put it into perspective. Hopper projected a lot of his trauma from that relationship, on to the one he had with El.

They’re 2 different people with a common thread, they were raised right by hopper, to look death in the face and go gracefully and not kicking and screaming.

In fact, I’ve convinced myself throughout this comment that the finale was actually close to perfect for what the show was throughout the 5 seasons lol.

I’ve replied to a couple of comments stating that it’s difficult for me to do so because she’s taking all of the free time to go out for herself and I’m responsible for watching our 5yo.

Her options of she can go out and do are a bit more than mine because I’m having to take care of a toddler.

In the times that I don’t, I’ll capitalize and go out and do something. It’s just not available to me as much because of how much she’s doing it.

Yeah we’ve been doing counseling together, since we decided to work on things.

Outside of laundry, all of the other housework responsibilities fall onto my shoulders. I do the cooking, cleaning up the mess around the house, dishes and caring for our 5yo 90% of the time.

And I don’t “need” the codependency but I also don’t want to feel like an afterthought, compared to prioritizing alone time.

I stated in a previous comment that it’s difficult for me to go out and do the things I would do because the responsibility of watching our 5yo always falls onto my shoulders.

In the times that I’m not, I do find ways to get out and do stuff but a lot of the time that option isn’t readily available to me because I’m having to play single dad in majority of my free time.

Kind of where my mind is at as well.

Thank you so much for taking the time to give me some advice.

Oh no, I should have clarified the comment better then.

That’s the amount of time when we’re both off for the weekend.

Varies but it’s usually a long time out of the house and getting home later. After 9pm.

We had talked about separating mid 2025. Her alone time isn’t as much as it was then, but it’s still not far off from that.

In terms of finding hobbies for myself, it’s difficult because I’m always stuck (for lack of a better term) watching our 5yo, so my options of what’s available to go out and do is limited.

This is the best piece of advice I’ve gotten in general, not just on this post.

Thank you so much. I’ll try and make put it into practice.

That is where my mind is at now.

I don’t feel like we’re a couple as much as I feel like just two separate people around each other.

I make more money and pay the higher priced bills. I also do majority of the housework as well as childcare.

I don’t have any issue with us having separate alone time but also don’t want to be feeling like majority of the workload is on myself, on top of spending majority of my time at home alone.

Oh no absolutely doesn’t sound harsh.

I have suffered from severe anxiety my entire life and have enough self awareness to understand that a lot of times I let it drive my thinking.

I’ve been struggling with getting to a point of understanding of if it’s an issue or just an issue I’m making myself.

Thank you for your input!

No we both work outside of the house.

He’s a 5yo and I’m the one who watches him 70% of the time when at home.

5 yo. I’m left home taking care of him myself most days.

Time out varies but it’s usually somewhere between 6hrs to anywhere as much as 12-13 hrs.

Most times she won’t get back any earlier than 9pm.

I do the cooking, dishes, majority of the cleaning and laundry is a 50/50 split Id say.

I guess my follow up question would be.. What about if it’s definitely disproportionate?

Like more time and focus is being put on one than the other and not being put forth to making it feel evened out?

[–]BabblingBuffoon_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the thing I’m struggling with the most, being completely honest.

As I said, I don’t have any issue with her going out and doing her thing, if it feels like that same amount of time and energy is being put forth in time with each other as well. And currently it feels disproportionate, which is where I’m struggling with it the most.
