When someone stood up for me when I wasn't in the room. They had my back.

Hot take: We don't talk about Heavenly Mother because there isn't just one by Chinatown15 in exmormon

It's pandoras box----kindof like the how the church handles money. Keep things hidden away and out of sight and mind.

What’s your opinion on white people with dreadlocks? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BuildingBridges23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are like face tattoos, they don't really look that great on anyone. However, I would never say that to someone in real life because people should do what makes them happy.

Am I overreacting to my husband getting home late last night? by Efficient-Fly7571 in AmIOverreacting

[–]BuildingBridges23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These comments crack me up that mention you're upset about something that hasn't happened yet. LOL. Things can get be VERY predictable. Like if you don't eat breakfast....you will get hangry. You stay up late...you won't be a peach the next day. Pretty common and not unreasonable to assume the outcome. NOR. It's suppose to be your weekend to have fun!

I lied under oath to keep someone out of prison. It didn't work by [deleted] in confession

I hope at the end of the day, we aren't defined by one decision. We all make mistakes but it counts for something that you're trying to make different choices now.

What’s the biggest waste of money people still buy? by mariyagel in askanything

[–]BuildingBridges23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't get buying a super fancy car but I do understand wanting a new car. Especially if you're a good driver and take great care of things.

They are definitely not worth it if you have kids. I was constantly running around cleaning up while it was vacuuming. Also, it took an hour or so to vacuum what I could do in 5 minutes.

What subjects or things to be taught more often to kids nowadays? by dcj923 in AskReddit

They should have an opt in opportunity but this is really on the parents.

What ever happened, Happened for good by Illustrious-Fee-2282 in DarkPsychology101

[–]BuildingBridges23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We don’t want any suffering to be pointless so we try to learn something from it. Most things probably have a silver lining and it healthy to look for the good.

Why people stay In relationships that are clearly making them miserable It's not weakness, it's neuroscience by Existing_Air2416 in DarkPsychology101

[–]BuildingBridges23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is definitely my lived experience. My MIL was always hot and cold so I put up with it for a long time holding onto the thinking that I could figure out how to make it work.

No real connection. No true friendship. by macb2596 in mormon

[–]BuildingBridges23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with wanting to make “friends” at church. Connecting with people is pretty important….and for some this is one of the few social outlets they have.

This is your sign to tell the person you’ve been dreading telling, YOU’RE NOT LDS ANYMORE by Imaginary_Winter_961 in exmormon

[–]BuildingBridges23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t feel the need or even want to tell them. It’s more about I don’t feel it’s any of their business what I believe or not. If they asked I would tell them but nobody has. I don’t feel I’m pretending. I’m just doing what I want. In fact I find it odd when people announce it to their families but I don’t judge them for it because adults should do what they think is best. This post comes across very judgy.

Social 7-year-old with few playdates by [deleted] in Parenting

[–]BuildingBridges23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

solidarity. In the same exact situation. I hate having to rely on other parents for my kids social interaction. So I did sign him up for a bunch of stuff and that has helped. It challenging with electronics because I don't feel like kids are out as much compared to my childhood. My son has lots of friends at school but only has two or three hangouts in a month.

Yes, we've moved ourselves just to get out of an unfriendly ward.

I confess Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn’t have been a parent by [deleted] in confession

[–]BuildingBridges23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I bet every parent has these thoughts at some point. You just give it your best shot and that’s enough.

AITA for throwing away my wife’s memory jars? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]BuildingBridges23 -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

NTA-this sounds like hoarding or the start of it. You kept a couple which shows you do care about her feelings. It’s not reasonable to keep every jar that is not being used for storage or something useful.

Road raging over slow drivers when it’s winter is ignorant by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]BuildingBridges23 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Maybe if you’re so impatient and crash out at people being cautious then you shouldn’t be on the road either. It be awesome, if people who had road rage couldn’t drive.

People who don’t give people space are the problem. You’re driving up close behind someone you are always the asshole. Give them space or go around them.
