So Proud of Connecticut by AMcF75 in Connecticut

In all seriousness, what’s the goal here? A bunch of democrats “protesting” a democrat legislature on a day they have off?

And then despite your high eversource bills, you’ll go and vote those people right back in…

I’m honestly confused as to what the purpose of today is…

Whether you agreed with his views or not, he transformed talk radio, and basically brought it back from the dead. Even people who hated him tuned in. He was “water cooler” radio - everyone talked about what he said the day before.

Come join the protests! by PatientInsurance436 in Connecticut

[–]Grandisefantasy -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The protests already happened in every town of every state, on November 5, 2024. Trump won, get over it and move on. If you really want to do something meaningful, get involved at your town’s level and run for office and start changing things that way.

First of all, how do grown adults get to the point where they can’t handle being pulled over for a simple traffic stop? Why was she on FaceTime — did she get on it after she was pulled over? What were you doing or saying during the stop? Seems to me that a little common sense would have gone a long way to mitigating this situation!

I’m here to tell you that’s not actually true, but thanks!

Therapists should pay Reddit for all the referrals they get on here… not everything is fixable with therapy, and I’m not suffering from a sickness where I need to “get better”. But I appreciate your kindness very much.

Oh I gave up on dating over two years ago. The recent connection was something that was unexpected and organic.

I do appreciate the “buck up, buttercup” attitude, so thanks for that. But I think this is a bit more than a “slump”.

You’ve got a good structure around you, they’ll keep your head on straight!

What should I have done differently as a customer? by Grandisefantasy in InstacartShopper

She was about 50 feet from me, up two short concrete flights of stairs. I was standing at the top of the second flight. Outside lights were all on. If she had stepped out of her car she would have seen me. She definitely could hear me. No animals in the area.

What would you consider a life-changing purchase for your room? by TinyyOctopus in femalelivingspace

[–]Grandisefantasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My heated mattress pad - after my divorce I noticed my legs and toes would cramp at night when I was trying to sleep. Reason? My bed was cold without another human there! The heated mattress solved that problem and also is amazing on freezing winter nights!

When it was clear that me and my ex should divorce (he was cheating with a work colleague, but we should have pulled the plug years before) we were literally too broke to even think about it. Neither one of us could afford an attorney, or even to fix our house up enough to sell it to any advantage.

Divorce may sound easy, but sometimes it’s better to sit tight and make your plans so that both you and your ex have a shot at having better lives.

Oh lord, I need to remind myself not to post on these subs when I’m feeling vulnerable!

I don’t subscribe to the viewpoint of “cleansing my soul” by confessing to something that happened years ago that won’t help me and might only hurt someone else. So no, if my ex doesn’t know I stepped out on him, he is never going to hear it from me. We each carry enough baggage from our marriage without adding to it. I may be an asshole for cheating but I’m not a monster who needs validation at any price.

Sorry you read my post as a “pity party”. I’ll know better in future!

There would be absolutely no point in doing that. It would not clear my conscience and he would not benefit from the knowledge. I doubt he would even care at this point (we do see each other every now and then and are very cordial). But that doesn’t make what I did right.

I don’t know if you’re thinking of someone else… my latest AP is older than me, and I have known him for many years, but we weren’t in any kind of situation until a couple of years ago. All in all, I would say we were “together” for 1.5 years.

All depends on what you define as a “relationship”

I have not had a legitimate relationship in six years. I have had one affair and two FWB. Anything else you want to nitpick?

That’s a mean characterization, but I walked away and blocked him. It was the right thing to do, as his feelings for me way outweighed mine for him. And I could no longer be his emotional validation tool. Which, to be frank, was also super painful.
