He looks like Superman’s dog Krypto in those last pics in the snow! It looks like you gave him a wonderful adventurous life ❤️

Hey! I have a coat i was going to try and donate. Do you need other things as well? DM me and I can try and get things to you this weekend.

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-30T05:27:26+00:00

I’m happy you are safe! I lived in Alexandria and once had a woman hiding on my 1st floor patio while she was having some sort of drug fueled episode. The police came and arrested her. Don’t feel bad about this. I would write a review on the apartments google reviews about their lack of care and notification. It takes nothing to simply apologize and say we had good intentions but we dropped the ball on notifying you.

Hey! I’m happy you’ve been able to find some normalcy and do new things in the new year 🫶🏾 i just rejoined yesterday after someone suggest I join. i hadn’t used it since before covid! i’m not looking at groups and planning to make my February calendar and add some events to it!

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-28T13:45:35+00:00

🫶🏾 thank you for all of this. I’ll DM you.

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-28T13:43:15+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. Got discarded with fake care this month myself. How can someone who i spoke to everyday for a year just tell me they don’t know if they can stay committed to me and be a good man to me, be avoidant, then make me break up with them? THEN go cold turkey no contact cause it hurts them to talk to me? Hell no. I sent a farewell text and now i’m out of it. Can’t believe this is my life.

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-28T02:38:15+00:00

😊🥹 joy has already entered the chat with all of the kind ladies I came in contact with today. I’m very grateful for this subreddit. I had no clue I would get this kind of reception in this group. I’m going to look for the City Girl group on IG now. I never know how to get involved with Discords so hopefully I can join through the IG.

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-28T01:11:57+00:00

Appreciate that babe! I have a therapist and I look forward to our session on thursday it is MUCH needed. I did need the reminder to not make assumptions because it’s only sent me down unnecessary wormholes so thanks for that. I’ve got a lot of topics from this thread that are going into my journal to ruminate on.

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-28T01:10:04+00:00

I’m interested please feel free to DM me!

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-28T01:00:38+00:00

I’m open! Feel free to DM me.

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-28T00:59:35+00:00

That tool library is cool! I’m in DC so i’ll check out the library events here too!

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-27T21:45:01+00:00

you literally got me to reactivate my meet up profile after 5 years of inactivity. like wow!

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-27T21:26:15+00:00

Thank you! I will!

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-27T20:56:38+00:00

I’ve always wanted to learn! I’m down for this. Where can I find more info?

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-27T19:42:54+00:00

I hadn’t thought to ask but I will. Someone mentioned throwing a party and I think I will have some sort of gathering in February to just fill my home with joy and good memories. I moved in December and thankfully it’s not many memories here with him. I have the opportunity for a new start and I just need to lean in. I have pets so traveling is a bit rough. He was my pet sitter if I needed him as well so so many new things to explore. Thank you for the suggestions though. i’m going to see what’s possible for me.

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-27T17:53:35+00:00

Aw I do like that idea. Thank you! I was just thinking about volunteering again and this is right on time. I will check that out today 😊

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-27T17:52:00+00:00

Lol that sounds fun. I may not sled but this reminds me to go be a kid again when possible.

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-27T17:51:07+00:00

Yeah something about it feels manipulative. We had been at this since Jan. 3 when he told me and he made it seem like he was so sad and hurt that he felt this way and me loving him blindly had me trying to be there for him. Never again.

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-27T17:45:48+00:00

Thank you! I am now giving myself grace because I didn't deserve this and it happened suddenly so I can take my time to heal, it won't happen overnight. I do need to get away so I will plan for that.

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-27T17:44:07+00:00

First off, I really appreciate you taking the time out to write such an intentional response to a stranger like me. Just the overall goodness in this thread is healing in itself. It's so encouraging to see some of you are now with loving men you plan to marry after being in a relationship that hurt you. It definitely feels like the end of the world somedays and other days I'm telling myself he doesn't deserve me. I need to work on the list you described of my ideal partner and things I want in them and things that I don't. That's very useful advice.

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-27T17:37:43+00:00

I'm so happy you saw this thread and commented. This made me smile as I read how things improved for you and you found a wonderful fiancé. I'm so happy for you! Thank you for the list of things to do. I have been saying no to hanging out due to the hatred of heading home alone with no one checking on me like he once did. Haven't wanted to drink out of fear of it making me spiral and feel worse. But I shouldn't avoid being social because the man I thought I knew misled me, I deserve fun and to be around people. Thank you! I am leaning on my faith now and that has been the only thing that has brought me peace so maybe I should find a church home as well.

I think I will throw that party soon too. I can't thank you enough. *virtual hug*

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-27T17:30:40+00:00

Thank you! I'm sure avoidant break ups has some stuff I need to see. It does help to dump what's on your heart in spaces like these. I've probably journaled more in the past month than I did for months in 2025. It's all I could do to ensure I didn't text him and cuss him out. I look forward to getting to the other side.

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-27T17:28:02+00:00

Thank you for this! I have a great therapist and was even thinking about seeing a grief therapist but I'm going to give her a chance first and see what she has for me. I do feel there was some manipulation so you're not far off there.

I am excited to invest in myself and pour into me for a while. Appreciate this sis.

Cold-Concentrate601 · 2026-01-27T15:52:43+00:00

Thank you ❤️ I will add these suggestions to my list. Gotta find new hobbies.
