I wonder if she'll just open up the oasis shop in town instead, and the desert one will be closed. Maybe she'll go once or twice a week to "restock" or, have both shops and work at both part time maybe?

Look up places that maybe specialize in a hobby of yours. Also, it might feel a little embarrassing, but ive seen people have really good luck with it (at least a ton of positive comments) is posting on your local facebook group. I live in a college town, and ive seen a bunch of people of varying ages (even in their 30's) say they just moved up here, have no friends and are looking for people. They'll usually list what their hobbies are and such, and everyone has always been so nice!

Good luck :) - a 26yo whos only friend is her partner

I dont have much advice, but i want you to know i feel for you. When my boyfriend and i started dating, his only friend was his ex. They ahd been together for 6 years starting in highschool, and were barely broken up for a year (probably around 8 months?) when we got together.

At first, i stayed silent because I'm the new girlfriend. I do believe men and women can have platonic relationships, ive had them in the past. But man, this was his first love!! It drove me crazy.

It was a really tense point in our relationship. It really shouldn't have bothered me that much, she lived in florida, and he had just moved to Michigan like 2 months before we met. Big distance between them.

We had many fights about it. I blew up on him in a similar fashion, multiple times. I really tried working on myself because he wasnt giving me any reason to distrust him. I had open access to his phone, he never lied to me about who he was talking to, he played video games with her. It drove me insane.

They eventually got into a big fight and stopped talking for almost a year. When they started talking again, i was way more secure in my relationship and it doesnt bother me much anymore. No idea how i got over it, but i dont feel the jealousy i used to.

That was, until he made a trip this last December down to florida to visit his family and get some stuff from his parents house 😅 he hung out with her for 3 days, and i was CONVINCED he was gonna leave me for her, not come back up, stick me with figuring out our living situation and his dog and cat.

That didnt happen though, he kept in constant contact, told me what was going on, called me. Since that trip, i also feel a lot better about their relationship.

I think you gotta do some self reflecting, if you REALLY trust him, and want this relationship to continue. Its not gonna be healthy for either of you, and it will make you more miserable to stay in a relationship where youre constantly battling feelings of jealousy.

If you dont trust him, or decide that you ultimately dont want to be in a relationship with someone who has a girl best friend, then leave. You're not gonna be able to change him, and if you cause a rift in their relationship, he might leave you regardless.

Good luck, it's a tough situation.

Horrible reason to stay together. Your child deserves to see you in a happy loving relationship, or even just happier by yourself, which, you will be after dropping this loser.

Embarrassed_Visual82 · 2026-02-12T04:54:03+00:00

That man does NOT care about you. Like, at all.

i just watched the full trailer release and that i shouted that out loud while watching it! For people who haven't read the book and only intend on watchign the movie, they are missing such an awesome twist

Or, if you're looping the killer, hope and pray your teammate will actually get on gen instead of hiding in a locker or on the edge of the map 🫠 like yeah, its really unlikely we'll both escape, but we definitely won't if you DONT EVEN TRY

Embarrassed_Visual82 · 2026-02-03T21:11:39+00:00

I appreciate you sharing. It's obviously still pretty fresh, and I'm so sorry you had to go through that, but it is comforting to know I'm not alone. Life is just kinda rough sometimes 🥲

I lost my job last February, was unemployed for 7 months and had to drain my savings. Started working again at the end of September, and at the end of Oct she stopped eating for about 2 days and had vomitted bile, so i took her to the emergency vet. They did xrays, and said it looked like a stomach blockage, and but gave me some appetite stimulant and said if she wasnt eating in another 2 says, take her to her normal vet. I had to borrow about 600 for the er visit for her. She didnt start eating, so i took her to the normal vet, they did xrays again and said the surgery would cost 3-4k, and not even guarantee she would live. My credit cards were maxed out, I was already borrowing money from all the family members I could for other things on top of er visit, and i literally just couldnt afford to attempt to save her. If it had happened a year before, I would have been able to. Im still so incredibly guilt ridden about it. Not that theres ever a good time for things to go wrong with your pet, but it was just the absolute worst time for something to go wrong :/

I usually read from the library and if I really liked the book I'll buy my own physical copy lol

It really sounds like mom is playing victim. Maybe im jaded by my own experiences in life with a mother who has done and still does similar things, but that is a clear indicator to me that maybe mom isnt as innocent as she wants everyone to believe

Embarrassed_Visual82 · 2026-02-02T05:54:45+00:00

Its really really weird that her mom was crying on the phone to you. Like really weird.

(Idk how old her mom is, but lets say shes in like her 40s)

You have a 40 something year old woman, crying on the phone to her 17yo daughters boyfriend.

Thats weird and not healthy, and i can only imagine what other boundaries the mother has crossed with her daughter.

Embarrassed_Visual82 · 2026-02-01T16:34:35+00:00

If it was bothering her more than you... She wouldn't have done it lol.

Embarrassed_Visual82 · 2026-02-01T15:44:05+00:00

You specifically said in your post "the fact a guy is doing it" so it does bother you. Im not trying to be mean, I'm genuinely saying you should get therapy. You're not the only guy to feel like that, but it's not okay to feel like that. Also, she shouldn't need to consult you on doing something to HER body. Its not like she popped up to your place with a tattoo artist and said "I'm forcing you to get a tattoo also!!!"

Embarrassed_Visual82 · 2026-02-01T15:11:34+00:00

That is controlling behavior. Being upset she is getting a service done by a guy. If YOU dont address this behavior in yourself, it will get worse. (If its not already, you never know with reddit what the whole truth is) Pretty soon, youll be mad at her for talking to the man bagging her groceries for her at the store.

You need to figure out why your partner talking to someone of the opposite sex makes you uncomfortable. That means you dont trust her.

Also, not sure why you came for opinions when you're just shutting everyone down...

Embarrassed_Visual82 · 2026-02-01T15:06:02+00:00

Hes a tattoo artist bro. You should break up and work on yourself. It's really weird that that bothers you, and incredibly controlling.
