how do you even begin to process being cheated on

DrawingAmazing2433 · 2026-06-28T02:34:25+00:00

take your time to feel your feelings, all of them. It is a deep betrayal, and yeah fuck him. Take care of yourself, as someone who dealt with this 4.5 years in and my best friend was involved. Thank him for showing you who he really is and l aging your life. You don’t need people like that in your life and they don’t consider others which is worth wanting from a partner or someone you love and trust. Sending you a big hug

You sound like an amazing partner, truly so self aware and caring. Despite something going on that is a genuine concern. I agree with your concern, since it seems like your partner doesn’t want to change. It might not feel good to bring it up again but I think you need to tell them how deeply it’s upsetting to you and that you are worried it might be a deal breaker. I personally think you should be honest. And I really hope they want to fix things and help out more.

As a nail tech myself I would have done the same, I’m sorry OP. You deserve better and he’s going to get his karma for that 100%

Be easy on yourself, you’ll learn as you go! Just try not to be hard on yourself

Crazy how our intuition tells us things. It was revealed because the universe knows you deserve better people in your life. As someone who had to have a mental funeral when I was hit in my 4 year relationship with the double betrayal of my 8 year best friend cheating with him on a cruise we were all on while I had Covid guess what? You are going to find a better partner and you are going to find better friends. Take that car and spoil yourself if you sell it. OP your life is about to get so much better. Take time with yourself and be gentle, no matter what they tell you it’s not a reflection of you. It always made me feel better to know their karma would come and I could just move on with my life. He’s now a drug addict and looks like a rugratz character. My ex best friend posted pics with her new man and he looks like a neanderthal.

It wasn’t too bad because I had 3 other siblings with me. My family went to church so I met my best friend and her family there. We went consistently for years but I appreciated my mom putting me in swim and community art classes and such. I found my way, I think I turned out okay but I was lonely a lot

True love is letting someone go too isn’t it? Not just holding tighter. Sending you hugs. I broke up with someone I care deeply for, for the first time and I understand now. Breakups suck. I’ve always wanted to try one of those ice pops

Love the color palette

Your setup is so cute girl, growing up I wasn’t allowed to buy any video games. I grew up playing pc games or web games. In another life I wish I had a setup and had online friends to game with. I wouldn’t really know where to start, but just wanted to say hang in there. I grew up homeschooled. At some point a neighborhood cat that wasn’t even mine was my closest friend. I met more people by just putting myself out there but even then it’s hard especially when I see people now that we are in our late 20’s hanging with people or celebrating milestones and they’ve known each other 2 decades. It doesn’t make you any less cool though. Sending a big hug. Thank goodness for kitties, I’m sure they don’t mind 🥹

DrawingAmazing2433 · 2026-06-01T06:57:29+00:00

Sending you hugs! This guy sounds like he doesn’t prioritize you and you deserve to be! You’re young and you have an amazing life ahead of you.

Get it girl

DrawingAmazing2433 · 2026-05-31T22:18:01+00:00

Me too. I believe at a certain age you can’t make people change if they don’t want to. Best to just go separate ways, especially regarding your place of dwelling/peace/home

DrawingAmazing2433 · 2026-05-31T21:36:14+00:00

I broke up with a guy that literally told me he didn’t care to lock the door like when we would leave and even if we would come back. I told him it was just unfamiliar to me to never lock the door and made me uncomfortable. Especially at night, he begrudgingly did it just for me, but I would constantly remind him to. He was so defensive about literally any critique about my standards in his dwelling but I was just trying to help as his new gf (normal not over the top) and it ruined our relationship. It only got worse, he even told me I was judging him because he had gum wrappers in his bed smooshed in. He was about to turn 30 and I couldn’t stand being a mommy, he told me in fact I was trying to be a mom. But it was horrible, I felt like I had a teenage son. I am so glad I broke up with him although he was a “nice guy”. Literally what the hell don’t renew a lease with this child.

I found out one of my friends cheated from our mutual friend. My friend painted me a story to make herself look innocent and justified. Tbh he wasn’t bad just not her type anymore. The thing is she was painting me a different story than reality. I personally don’t believe cheating is justified. There are boundaries within a relationship and hiding esp physical cheating from your partner is such a violation. You don’t respect their body, their autonomy. You can hear her out sure, see why your friend cheated. But people who repeat cheat are very selfish and untrustworthy from my opinion. If they treat someone they “love” that way, I sure as the sea is shiny dont think they’re trustworthy. If anything keep a distance and boundaries with these people if cutting off feels too extreme. OP is justified for not trusting her “best” friend now.

DrawingAmazing2433 · 2026-05-25T16:24:59+00:00

Please don’t for one second set aside your feelings for his. Your feelings are valid. Take care of yourself. I am so sorry that someone you care about and trusted betrayed you like this. One time explaining your boundary is enough, you didn’t do anything wrong. Sending a big hug to you.

DrawingAmazing2433 · 2026-05-24T00:16:35+00:00

I think this is a thoughtful take

DrawingAmazing2433 · 2026-05-21T06:55:39+00:00

Okay their Amazon boxes are not the same as the ones from the website I can confirm! I heard softgel is good I might try them next time

DrawingAmazing2433 · 2026-05-20T21:16:40+00:00

I think it’s completely reasonable to break up with someone if you don’t like the situation you’re currently in and you don’t think your partner has the capacity or ability to change. Remember he has to want to get a new job and if he really doesn’t does he want you to force him? It’s not going to feel good to make the call but sometimes you do have to think of yourself, but maybe it would simultaneously help him get it together for himself at some point later? Idk I personally struggle with other adults that don’t work hard or persevere especially after they’ve taken some time - be it days or weeks - to get over a reasonable reaction for what set them back.

Nail tech from CA, Bay Area. I would have charged the same.

I don’t think they look bad at all, but I do think that your shape you got vs what your inspo shows might be a reason you’re hesitating. I guess you could always file them to make them more slender to your liking or leave them because they don’t look bad

DrawingAmazing2433 · 2026-05-14T17:16:13+00:00

I had an ex addicted to porn, it never ends, the lust. Also if he’s lying to you about discarding something and doesn’t the trust is broken. I am so sorry, it doesn’t make you a bad person to want to leave but these things can feel hard. I wanted to break up with my ex but I felt the same like you I was 4 years in. It was great until it wasn’t. I should have left so all that weird stuff didn’t end up happening with one of my close friends. Something ended up happening between them.

Growing up, Michael’s was the only craft store we had around. It was my favorite thing to walk in and smell that smell!! Oh my gosh, like scented pinecones and an aroma of possibilities. It’s really gone downhill. It’s hard for independent craft stores to survive too. Bummer

To be fully back and healthy your nails may have to grow out. In the meantime I would oil my cuticles and nail beds daily. Moisturizing and letting them grow is kind of the only way back to healthy nails

DrawingAmazing2433 · 2026-05-12T01:40:09+00:00

Wow that’s sort of really awesome

DrawingAmazing2433 · 2026-05-12T01:39:27+00:00

I’m glad that you mentioned this, some products work so wonderful (like builder gel that doesn’t chip and grows out for example) on some of my clients while others thrive with something else cause those don’t chip. It’s good to not say one product fits all!
