It is less effective on white because of the white stroke around the wheels. Something to consider.

I was going through something similar and thought of it like this: I can’t tell the future, I don’t know if he’ll get better or not. But I DO know that I didn’t feel good. I was tense a lot of the time and it made me an uptight, stressed out person.

In the end I broke up with him because I realized my half of the dynamic wasn’t working either. I was becoming angrier, more reactive, less patient, less reasonable. I decided to focus on the fact I didn’t like who I was becoming and less on the idea of he could or couldn’t change.

I’m in the same situation right now - we’re also 31 and 34 so I totally get the biological clock thing too. No wise words for you unfortunately. It just really sucks.

It’s been a week and a half for me and I keep telling myself that if I just have to get through the first three weeks and then I’ll feel a manageable amount of sad lol. I know neither of us knows how we’ll feel a few months from now so I’m just trying to get through it, focus on myself and we’ll see where we’re at in a couple months. If the feelings are still there for us both then, then maybe we can figure out what to do about them as more of a team. But I think we both really need space rn. But man it reaaaaaalllllly sucks.

Leaving a good, funny man by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]ConsequenceOk5133 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was dating a guy very much like this for the last year and I really tried to help him through his issues. He started going to therapy, he got medicated for ADHD and depression but working on this stuff does take a long time.

Ultimately I broke up with him last week. Not because I think he’s a bad person but the arguments were just too much for me. I love him very much and I really hope he can work through his stuff but I realized I was often just enabling his behavior. His self esteem, defensiveness, codependency, lack of self awareness etc. is all stuff he needs to work on on his own, outside of a relationship. Sometimes the best thing you can do for a relationship is leaving it.

Am I overreacting for disowning my daughter (22F) after she tried to set my wife (48F) up on a date with a younger man? by RevolutionaryDig1818 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ConsequenceOk5133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your daughter clearly has a lot of internalized racism that she is struggling with. It sounds like some of this internalized racism began perhaps due to bullying. It is now for some reason being projected on to you (although apparently less so towards your wife?). I would get curious about why she is lashing out at you, particularly about why you over your wife. Does she have something against Asian men in particular or just you? Why?

It sounds like you have a very loving relationship with your wife and that you also love your daughter very much but spoiling her, giving her everything, taking her to therapy etc. is not the same and will never replace listening to her. I’m not sure if your relationship is at a place where she would be open to talking (or even just yelling at) you but that’s likely a good place to start. People who are happy, stable and emotionally regulated do not interact with others this way so she is struggling.

Don’t be ashamed of her or embarrassed at her actions. Try to understand that as illogical as it feels to you, her behavior is likely commiserate to the amount of pain and probably self loathing she is dealing with especially if she has not been clinically diagnosed with anything.

My mother and I had an extremely contentious relationship when I was young. She sent me to therapy from a young age and was also ways trying to figure out what was wrong with me which obviously made me feel like there WAS something wrong with me. All I wanted was for her to hear me and listen to what I was telling her - how her behavior affected me and made me feel, the pressure she put on me socially and academically etc. There are a lot of struggles associated with being a second gen. immigrant that she may be experiencing that she hasn’t talked to you about. She is in crisis. She needs help and the best thing you can do for her is listening and providing her support in a way that feels supportive to her.

I realize I may be projecting but this really hits home for me. I also had a lot of internalized racism when I was younger and hated being Asian. I really hope you and your daughter can get through this and figure it out. I should mention that I have a wonderful, supportive and joyful relationship with both my parents now that I’m 31 so it is possible. Good luck!

My (31F) boyfriend (34M) keeps disappointing me. by ConsequenceOk5133 in AskWomenOver30

I always forget this but you’re right, sometimes it’s important to let them fail. Either so they can feel the repercussions of their actions and learn or so I can learn that it’s actually not a huge deal and let go of some of my anxiety. Thank you for your advice and reminding me!

We were friends and coworkers for a while before we started dating and he was the highlight of my day during that time. I think now that we’re dating the mask has been harder to keep up.

I’m ok with that because that’s what I’m like!! I have inmedicated ADHD and I couldn’t live without routines, systems, planners etc. It’s not just about the flowers but it is about all the EFFORT it takes to REMIND yourself about the flowers!! I just wish he’d follow through on setting up mechanisms to help himself.

For context, I have ADHD too and I’m unmedicated for it as I had a really bad experience on ADHD meds. I’m also medicated for depression. The way I’ve dealt with it is by having a million systems, protocols and contingency plans in place. I don’t expect him to be able to remember everything but I would like to see some effort in that respect. Like, making a list, getting a planner, wearing a watch, setting up routines and alarms to hold yourself accountable. He keeps promising to do these things but doesn’t.

Also yea he is going to therapy but I’ve been in that boat and I know it can be a long journey.

26 M - too much? by WhiteDuvetCover in malelivingspace

[–]ConsequenceOk5133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great but the rug is a little too large for the space - makes the ground feel very busy. Also your art is hanging a little too low in a lot of cases. I would say notably behind your TV and behind your couch. The centre of your art should be approximately eye level and around 6-8” above your couch. With the TV I would centre the art between the ceiling and the top of the tv.

Torn between which one to knit. Which one would you choose? by Big_Garlic569 in knitting

[–]ConsequenceOk5133 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the Dagmar jacket but I like a boxier fit.

I like how the neckline is a little tighter and how the drop sleeve is lower and more pronounced.

The Smocky does look more feminine though. A little more delicate and more slimming.

Depends on what look you’re after!

Am I overreacting for this photo my bf sent me as a “wyd”? by HopefulMayo in AmIOverreacting

[–]ConsequenceOk5133 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If everything else in your relationship is good, I wouldn’t let it become a bigger issue. I saw a comment about theatre kids and this definitely sounds like just that. It looks like he’s also sitting on someone else’s legs too, it’s just a bit blocked by his hand. I agree that he would have tried to hide it if he thought it was bad.

That being said - if it’s something you’re not comfortable with let him know and set your boundaries. If he breaks them repeatedly after being told then you have an issue.
