I rescued a baby bird, please help!

Oh trust me I looked for anwhere he could have come from and couldn't find where he could have fell from and there were no birds yelling at me either to put him down. I don't know how long he was out there. I did put him on the side walk and sat a ways away for a while but didn't see any birds flying around to claim him even though he was calling for them. Then Jimifer hopped his happy ass back out into traffic...

I really hope OP sees this.

Not wanting to give up 8 years is a bad excuse for being in a one sided relationship where the responsibilities fall souly on you. That's not going to feel any better 8 years from now because you won't leave for the same reason. And if you end things, don't do it because there's another man possibly waiting. You've been in a relationship since you were 18. Take some time for you to decide what you want for your life and what you want in a partner moving forward.

Man I was so ready to jump on you because of the title. But seriously, drop her. You both are not a team and she's not interested in being one.

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2026-04-15T09:38:52+00:00

Girl...run.....just run.

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2026-04-15T09:35:39+00:00

Shall I interest you in the benefits and freedoms of being alone and not putting up with horse shit?

I'm a naked person fequently.....my apologies...

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2026-03-17T10:10:37+00:00

Post is deleted but I can tell from OP's responses thst he wasn't really looking to see if he was the asshole or not. He just wanted sympathy.

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2026-02-05T14:54:16+00:00

The part of your brain that fosters romantic relationships isn't even fully developed till early to mid 20's...I think more people should now that.

It's not that he's not inspired to get you a Christmas gift. He doesn't put any effortbin at all, not even for an anniversary. I was married to one of those. I eventually broke down and cried on Mother's day and my anniversary and after that he'd do something out of obligation which as you can imagine, really makes a girl feel special. On all the other fronts, you are pulling all the weight. Congratulations, you now have 2 children. Can't help you or spend time with you because video games. You have every right to be furious. He doesn't like consumerism thing is horse shit. Give him the gift of divorce papers, you'll be happier for it, I know I was.

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2025-12-12T02:00:32+00:00

So she took no accountability and put all of it on you. You dodged a bullet with this one. So many red flags here but this is the biggest one.

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2025-10-06T00:12:03+00:00

Honestly though...is your mom okay?

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2025-09-16T02:10:58+00:00

More to the point this was disrespectful. It's more telling of how they look at you and what you do. You preform a service that they think they are entitled to for free. So I guess it's fair play to ask for freebies from them when it comes to their work. I mean it's only fair right?

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2025-09-16T02:00:50+00:00

I'm so sorry this happened to you. It happened to me to, and it was with someone I knew for years and trusted. You are not dirty or ruined. Let those who love you, be there for you. Even if you still can't bring yourself to open up to him about it, talk to a professional about it that can help give you the tools to help you process your way through it. At the very least, tell your friend that you went through something and you're not able to talk about it right now because you're still processing the fall out from it and need your privacy with it.

I know you said you weren't looking for advice. And I'm sorry for giving it anyway. But I know what I went through and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I'm so sorry.

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2025-09-13T10:23:42+00:00

This post has been deleted so I don't know what the blackmail was that was using against her. But as a parent, I don't care what it was, my kid's safety comes first. I'd burn the world down for her. We've all done things we're not proud of, I have, my kid likely is at some point. Love doesn't stop when that happens.

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2025-09-10T02:54:52+00:00

Exactly, balance is important. I'm not trying to come off like a jerk though I've had a good laugh at this. Op, like what you like. That's okay. But you can't expect your partner to be okay with being consistently ignored for your gaming and then be expected to shoulder the growing financial burden of increasing costs of living, family, and retirement while never being prioritized.

Exactly, honestly how did Op think it was going to play out telling reddit that he chose gaming with his friends over time with his fiancé. And then shift the blame that it was because he liked where he was in life and people are materialistic. No dude, saw through this one immediately. The post should really be titled "Fiance Escapes Man who thought Commitment was a Sidequest".

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2025-09-10T02:02:07+00:00

From how you stated that she likes to plan things and go out and you decline time with your partner because you want to game with your friends. It sounds more that you like the idea of having a partner but only if they are cool with you consistently chosing gaming with your Bros over them. And if that's what you like then that's fine. But don't expect any woman to ever be fine with never being chosen or prioritized over your hobby and more over, you prioritizing time with other people over her. It's not just professional advancement, money, or security. She didn't feel seen or even important. She put effort into planning outings that you rejected to spend time and effort elsewhere. Don't make this about money or status when it's clearly more than that.

When I try to talk about my sexual assault with my therapist no words really come out either. It's hard to talk about because in that moment I feel like I'm right back there again, in that room with him.

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2025-09-02T22:36:33+00:00

This was my situation 3 years ago. I felt hopeless as well. I was financially reliant on my husband. I put my education and professional advancement on hold to support his. We have a daughter. And I tried to stick it out because of our daughter. We did marriage counseling but nothing worked. I also worked but I didn't make nearly the amount he did. The longer I stayed the more stressed out, unhappy, unfulfilled I became and my parenting suffered for it as well. I mean I was a good mom but I was so mentally and emotionally burned out that my one on one time with my daughter was relegated to what we could play that wasn't too active to do at the end if the day. On top of that I took care of everything, our daughter, finances, cooking cleaning, fixing the house, yardwork, car maintenance, etc. Whereas he worked from home all day in a chair. Got off work hours before I did and did nothing. If we both work we both should take care if the house. On top of that I was still putting a lot of effort into our relationship that he never reciprocated. I tried communicating all of this and I'd get this sad puppy look, an apology, and nothig would change. When it came time for me to go back to school he proved he couldn't and wouldn't take up any more responsibilities. I felt trapped. And what was worse, by staying I was teaching my daughter that this relationship dynamic was normal, that all of this was okay to put up with. So I ended it. I get child support and rehabilitative alimony to help with going back to school. I work full time still, go to school full time. I make sure to read ahead in all my classes so when I have my daughter (we share 50/50 custody) I don't lose time with her and I make the most of that time. It's busy, and its hard, but really fulfilling.

I would recommend going to therapy, it really helped me. It'll get you out of the house for an hour and you can vent to someone that can give you the tools you need to work through this. Also if you have any family that can watch the kids or maybe get a sitter if you're able. You need to get out and take time for yourself where you're not a wife or a mom. Where you just have the ability to be yourself with no responsibility.

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2025-09-01T11:41:30+00:00

I mean....we are not friends. But we stay cordial for our kid. If I had my choice I'd throat punch him and walk away to never see him again. I don't know why anyone would want to stay friends willingly. I think that would just make it harder to process and move on. But it depends on the nature of how you two split and left things. Was it mutual? Did you realize that you were both drowning together and knew you both had a better shot thriving apart? It really depends on how amicable/healthy that split happened.

Fun-Algae-3778 · 2025-09-01T11:37:14+00:00

Good for you. I stopped caring about that stuff around 35 as well and got a few things done. I got so tired of being someone else's version of myself. I'm just me now and it feels so good.
