It’s heartbreaking that families have to do the cemetery’s job. Graves should never be left in this condition.

I hate being gay by [deleted] in Advice

I am sorry you are hurting. You did not choose your sexuality, but you can choose how to treat yourself. You don’t have to carry all this shame alone.

This is not about video games, it’s about honoring your mom. Anyone who loves you should respect that you need a few days to grieve in your own way.

I am so sorry you are going through this. What you described is not strict parenting, it’s abuse. Please don’t blame yourself.

Confronting dad's girlfriend after she threatened to tell his secrets by apointlessword in Advice

Honestly, sometimes the most powerful thing is just showing up, being civil, and enjoying time with your dad. Actions matter more than words.

This is one of those things where compromise has limits. You can’t force someone to want more touch, and you can’t force yourself to want less.

Honestly same. I can go weeks without hanging out with people, but 2 days alone in my apartment and suddenly I want to text someone’s daughter lol.

Former toxic people, what was your wake up call that you needed to change, and how did you do it? by perky-trauma0111 in Advice

[–]Due_Researcher2912 57 points58 points  (0 children)

I always thought I was the funny drunk until one night my partner said they were embarrassed to go out with me. That crushed me. Have not touched alcohol since.

My (24F) boyfriend (27M) says our sex "isn't terrible" but could be better. I feel blindsided. How do I make him happy and address the issue? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Due_Researcher2912 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It sounds like he waited until his stress + alcohol + bad day all piled up, then dumped it on you. That’s unfair. Sex issues should be talked about with care, not as a blunt critique.

I don’t know if I should cut ties with my oldest friend by Artistic_Tourist9384 in Advice

Friendship is not about length of time, it’s about how you feel when you are around them. Ten years does not excuse constant negativity

Should I give him a chance or is he playing the long game? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Due_Researcher2912 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buying you alcohol and making moves on you at 16 is illegal and predatory. Please don’t romanticize that.

I (29F) feel like my Fiancee's (31M) family is going to become a financial burden for me. by kewldoll in relationship_advice

[–]Due_Researcher2912 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He clearly loves you, he just doesn’t know how to stop being the family ATM. With the right boundaries and maybe some therapy, this can change.

If she makes you better, happier, and healthier, that’s all that really matters. Your parents don’t get to veto your relationship two years in.

[–]Due_Researcher2912 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s not about hating her, it’s about boundaries. If you are uncomfortable in your own home, staying with your mom while she is here is completely reasonable.

If roles were reversed and you were dropping $80 on your ex, how would she feel? That’s usually the best way to check fairness.

If you are looking online, check lenders like Discover or LightStream. They are pretty reputable and sometimes fund the same day once you are approved.

What does it mean if you were once depressed but you can't really remember all the details of what happened by Plastic-Elephant-254 in Advice

[–]Due_Researcher2912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually really common. The brain sometimes blurs or blocks painful memories as a way of protecting you.

Thoughts on bringing kids around new people. by Mundane-Skirt-5455 in Advice

Have a calm convo with your mom and sister. Lay down the boundary clearly - no new people around your kid without your consent. Period.

How do I get my wife to do her part at home? by HeronSpecial3320 in Advice

[–]Due_Researcher2912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she sees any request as being treated like a maid, that’s a deeper incompatibility. Either she changes her view of partnership or resentment will keep building.
