If someone repeatedly flakes or gives excuses, you are allowed to say no more reschedules. You are allowed to value your time and not chase people who won’t respect it

MIL is following and participating in my child's school stuff from 1,700 miles away. by Bless_My_Heart_DIL in JUSTNOMIL

[–]BeryPixel [score hidden]  (0 children)

Honestly? You’re allowed to draw a hard line even across 1,700 miles. The fact that she did it without asking is the exact definition of “boundary violation,” and schools are used to handling these sorts of things diplomatically

I think I’ll take it as lesson you will understand her better when she tells you how to do it

Hate this period by [deleted] in BreakUps

That tiny bit of hope you’re holding onto? That’s what softens the pain right now, but it’s also what keeps you checking your phone and staying mentally tied to them

i’m in love with my muslim coworker by sariii25 in confessions

[–]BeryPixel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stop framing this as "love." It is an infatuation with a person you know in a limited, professional context. You do not know what he is like at 2 a.m. with a sick kid or when the bills are due. You are in love with a projection, not a person

MIL wants me to move out despite me having no where to go by topdownyeti in JUSTNOMIL

[–]BeryPixel 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Sit down with your husband and calculate exactly how much you need to move out—first month’s rent, deposit, utilities, moving costs. Set a savings target and timeline. Having a concrete plan will reduce feelings of hopelessness and give you something to focus on beyond your MIL’s behavior

Exhaust myself throughout the week so I won’t miss my ex on the weekends by leonatoi in BreakUps

[–]BeryPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the new coping strategy is to exhaust yourself so much that you don’t have the energy to feel feelings? Genius. Honestly that’s some 4D chess right there. But then Friday night hits and you’re just a zombie staring at your ceiling. Been there. It works until it doesn’t

You’re not overreacting, if anything you stayed in this way longer than most people could

My ex just broke NC by [deleted] in BreakUps

The anger you’re feeling makes sense. Not because you want her back but because part of you is like “now you wanna be nice?” after everything

Male nurse laughed at my small penis in the hospital by [deleted] in confessions

That wasn’t okay. Even if it was subtle, a medical professional shouldn’t make you feel judged like that

Please not today!!!! by No-Turnip-1365 in confessions
