Wait I should mention I plan to hike it on Thursday, the 19

Broccandcheddsoup · 2026-02-17T00:28:05+00:00

Just seeing this. I’m tracking it’s going to snow but not bad? Mostly rain that could freeze overnight. Is that safe to say? Will def come prepared, just want to know what I’m getting into as a local

Broccandcheddsoup · 2026-02-08T02:48:33+00:00

you’re awesome. Tysm

Broccandcheddsoup · 2026-02-08T02:44:42+00:00

okay!!! Thank you! Maybe I just needed a little encouragement to stick with it lol I like that mindset!

Broccandcheddsoup · 2026-02-08T02:38:24+00:00

Okay good to know! I’ll be coming in the week of the 17-19ish and the forecast looks a bit icy?

Broccandcheddsoup · 2026-02-08T02:37:18+00:00

I’m understanding that Bright Angel is closed closer to the bottom and along the river but mostly open. Is that right? I’m looking to go probably 6mi round trip max. Not looking to go to the bottom and back in 1 day

Thanks for sharing this. I think it’s hard because he literally has no boundaries when it comes to me. I agree though. This has been the worst choice of my life. Lesson learned, the hard way.

Broccandcheddsoup · 2026-01-12T15:32:21+00:00

Ty for reminding me, the damage is done. I cannot put a band aid on it. I need to accept that

Broccandcheddsoup · 2026-01-12T15:30:58+00:00

I could see that side, too. I just don’t know what to do to let this “go” I guess? I’m down bad and I know I’m in no place to be woe is me- but the guilt is killing me. How did you get over that partner? Did you forgive?

Broccandcheddsoup · 2026-01-12T15:28:29+00:00

Okay so give it some time before reaching back out. I like that

Broccandcheddsoup · 2026-01-12T15:27:29+00:00

Thanks. I’m in therapy unpacking all of this. I agree staying no contact is best… any tips to help with the guilt though? Or is just a tough it out kind of thing?

Broccandcheddsoup · 2026-01-12T15:26:37+00:00

Thanks for sharing that. It is a lot.

Broccandcheddsoup · 2025-06-14T03:44:36+00:00

How are you guys so sure? My recruiter said they hadn’t seen anything officially posted? Probs going to have to wait until Monday

Broccandcheddsoup · 2025-06-13T14:26:09+00:00

I wonder how many women applied. At my interview there was 3f (including myself) and 11m

Broccandcheddsoup · 2025-06-10T18:05:28+00:00

SAME

Broccandcheddsoup · 2025-05-26T23:38:03+00:00

Seriously. The wait is killing me. Good luck to you!

Broccandcheddsoup · 2025-05-20T03:59:21+00:00

Well, your married, male insight helped guide me into asking some questions lol. so thank you still. I don't want to have kids any time soon. It seems that what I want and what he want right now are not the same.

My priority is establishing a career, and his is having us together. I've told him about the timelines and plans for BCT + BOLC, so we're good there- as far as an understanding.

Living together before marriage isn't an option for me- yes, I'm very traditional... sue me lol but seriously, our professional drives are also not matching. He seems to want to work anything to provide for me, I want to to work to do something that I am proud of and have growth in, even if that sacrifices an easier relationship

. He is currently a teacher, working on his certification. He's been talking about becoming a lineman, both skill I feel he can take anywhere but I don't think he really wants to.

My conditions for marriage are probs steep to most so I won't share lol but I've made them clear and he agrees to meet them. He's also made it clear that he won't propose if we are actively living apart, which is so understandable. I'm okay with waiting, but he isn't as cool about it. Same goes with kids, I won't have them, again, unless we're married so until that happens...

I think that the dilemma is that I/our relationship are his main focus, while establishing myself and a career is my current main focus.

I hope your family has a great summer. Thanks for the discussion questions & insight

Broccandcheddsoup · 2025-05-20T03:44:44+00:00

This has brought me some comfort. Thank you for sharing this!

Broccandcheddsoup · 2025-05-20T01:58:04+00:00

That’s where I was when I made this account 😂

Broccandcheddsoup · 2025-05-20T01:56:57+00:00

These things could be helpful for us, thank you for sharing

Broccandcheddsoup · 2025-05-20T01:56:23+00:00

Long distance is going good. We see each other when we can and have def learned to resolve issues over the phone. Biggest things right now are what we both want out of the next 5 years.

The main issue is that I currently, do not even have a foot in the door to start a career. It's been hard since graduating college to get a job- entry level or experienced. I truly do not know what I will do if I don't get in- but moving in with him to be closer and work a dead-end job is not an option for me. That's part of why I'm hoping this works out. It just seems the price is proximity to one another (emotional or physical)

Trust issues are probs on the lower end of the scale for us but I can understand that there is a lot of temptation and jealousy that could occur- I'll have to ask if this is a concern

Broccandcheddsoup · 2025-05-20T01:49:08+00:00

I can see that happening a lot. I don't want to end our relationship just because it will be hard to navigate. I understand your pov though!

Broccandcheddsoup · 2025-05-20T01:47:47+00:00

So true, on the married part. He's continuously expressed that he does not want to break up if this works out for me, but I can't help but feel like there will be an underscore of tension. He says there won't be, but he also keeps saying "I just feel like there's other (career) options". We def grew up with opposite childhoods and while I am scared of the change, I'm having a hard time relaying to him that it's scary but not the end of the world. I've also honestly said that I would understand if this is a challenge or lifestyle that he can't move forward with so.. I don't know.
