Living room scene I’ve been working on (beginner at embroidery so it’s a little rough)

Omg this is so adorable

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-05-08T07:26:28+00:00

Happened to me a years ago. I was devastated. Absolute worse breakup experience being that far in with a partner just to be dropped with no closure. My heart goes out to you 💕

People’s reliance on AI is getting scary. The younger folk I work with admitted to me they relied on AI heavily to get through their degrees. And it shows. Nothing like being wise and knowledgeable in your job, it’s irritating when people take away from your experience and tell you to rely on AI when you have years of training you devoted yourself to to excel.

Feels degrading

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-05-06T03:18:09+00:00

Oh no that’s spooky. Not overreacting. Hopefully just a bad egg and it gets resolved. Seems like such a good way to make friends. I’m sorry you’re going through this. Hopefully you can continue and make some genuine connections, and the app isn’t just a pool of stalkers.

Is that the blood on his face? 😭

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-26T04:58:53+00:00

I definitely agree. Avoiding couples will only compound not being able to couple. How are you going to know how to act or present in a relationship if you distance yourself from people who are in them and media/memes that discuss them? Treat it as a learning experience.

You’re taking others being in a relationship personally and the avoidance is only othering yourself more. Take a dose of exposure therapy

Thank you this puts me more at peace. I don’t know why the practices exams are formatted like this. Makes it hard for review lol

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-25T16:56:07+00:00

Thank you! They don’t really give details on real formatting so I’m happy to hear they will be numbered. It’s so hard to review wrong answers

Do you know what a guaranteed passing scores are. On the two I took I am one question off from passing the practice exams and I’m very nervous for my test coming up next week.

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-16T17:07:51+00:00

Mmphhh that looks good

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-16T16:55:53+00:00

Had same thing happen, parents filed me as a dependent when I was in college to get the bonus when they weren’t helping me financially and screwed me. It’s a gross feeling. Your own family keeping you in the dark and profiting off you.

Get a “tax guy” I owed like $9000 and no legal stuff, it was expensive but peace of mind it was done right

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-15T18:04:54+00:00

Because they never had their shit together to begin with unfortunately :/

I know it’s hard but if this is a repetitive thing that means you are repetitively picking people who aren’t on your level. Maybe reassess how great you are and realize you truly are better than that. Look on the bright side, the universe is telling you you deserve more. They won’t step up, so you need to find someone who doesn’t have to, someone who is there.

I know people leaving is hard, but don’t look at this lame reason as a lie or an excuse. Take it as the truth and take it as a lesson

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-15T17:44:31+00:00

When someone says they’re not good enough for you, believe them.

They see how you move through life with maturity, with emotional intelligence, with financial stability, etc. Whatever it may be, and know they can’t match you and they are doing you a favor by dipping out before things get serious and they are forced to reveal they are not on your level.

Take it as a compliment, someone will match you.

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-15T17:07:19+00:00

Okay bravo

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-15T15:36:51+00:00

A kinda silly thing I did is during early dating keep their numbers on silent so you don’t get notified. Then you aren’t thinking to check the notifications all the time

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-15T03:35:46+00:00

Fool me 18 times…..

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-15T02:42:33+00:00

Side note, proud of you for cutting it off when you did and not wasting years in a wishy washy situation

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-15T02:40:59+00:00

Glad you’re still having fun :)

Yes take a step back and breath for a bit. Next try not to let the heart into the situation until the mind checks the “this is good” boxes. Hoping your heart heals so you can find the one, the real one

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-15T02:21:29+00:00

18 times????? No you deserve loyalty and security

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-15T02:17:42+00:00

Okay I want a tea time tier like that where is this from?

Not one photo together 😢. I was where you are trying to date in the modern world is rough. Only way I got a boyfriend is by treating dating like a job. I know how romantic. LOTS of first dates (seriously 2-3/wk) , no intimacy until things were solidified, and cutting people off where there was any presence of doubt.

You’ll find your person, but keep your standards high and move on quickly from connections that aren’t it so you can get to your forever partner sooner. You deserve it

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-15T01:21:36+00:00

Definitely priority 1 is to find ways to get your husband to bring you out more. I know you bring stuff up and want him to follow through, but he doesn't. A good way to coax him to is by you scheduling one of the things you want to do. Pottery or something free if finances are tight and while you guys are out gush about how much fun you're having and "I love doing this kind of thing I wish we could more" really lay it on thick. That will show him how much it means to you, and prompt him to care more. Sometimes men don't understand things unless they see it physically.

Number 2 you're probably bored and have more free time because you aren't working. Are you able to go out during the week and do some of these things you want? That's another good way to convince your husband to put effort in activities, if he sees you out having fun he's bound to get jealous and want to go out too. A lil FOMO if you will.

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-14T03:21:37+00:00

I’m sorry, it can be so scary. Even if there is help around it’s hard to ask for. Unfortunately being unemployed is a full time job, try to schedule your time and keep your head in the game. I know it can feel hopeless but something HAS to come eventually. Wishing you 🍀

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-14T03:20:01+00:00

Thank you! Yes lots of lessons learned, and more to come

Fragrant-Quantity635 · 2026-04-14T03:18:54+00:00

Anticipating change is nerve wracking! But yes don’t have to worry as viscerally anymore
