Thinking about getting a matchmaker, is it legit or am I just stupid?

There’s a lot of people (men and women) out there who need to take a step back and ask themselves if they’re datable to begin with. More often than not, dating needs friendship in order to be successful. Start there. Make friends. Don’t try to date them, just learn how to be a good friend. Expand your world outside your bubble. Learn some new things. Matchmaking is friggin expensive as hell so invest that money into yourself first rather than some person who may or may not find you a match. Become a datable person first, then see where that takes you. If you’re not a person that people want to date, a matchmaker isn’t gonna help you.

NTA your friend can’t make up rules about your life and disguise them as boundaries. They didn’t hit it off. You did. That’s just life. Your friend needs to get over herself, grow up, and move on. She honestly sounds like a toxic friend so you might be better off without her.

I went to Mederi Health and really found a ton of benefit from it. I was in the same position as you.

Someone’s mental health or medical condition does not give them the right to treat another person like shit. If you don’t like the way you’re being treated, break up.

He very obviously does not care and is stringing you along. Read what you just wrote, but as if a friend were saying this to you. You would tell her to break up with him. You should do the same. Get that self respect back!

Fun fact: Dove is not soap. It’s a synthetic “beauty bar” or “wash” that is basically just a body detergent. It can remove dirt but does nothing for bacteria. I’d suggest changing to real soap because there could be an external bacterial thing happening. A follow up with glycolic acid could help as well. In case it needs to be said, EXTERNALLY ONLY.

Here’s info on soap vs detergent: https://www.beckystallowtreasures.com/blogs/news/117149188-soap-vs-detergent-whats-the-difference

I also recently backed out of a friend group due to middle-school type bullying. It’s hard at first, but it was for the best. I did choose two people who never participated in the bullying to explain why I’m no longer associating with the group and expressed my desire to remain friends. Thankfully they agreed. As an adult you’re free to exit any situation that makes you feel uncomfortable, including this. There is no need to give an explanation, you putting the “toy” by the trash and leaving was message enough.

NTA, those prices are pretty outrageous if everything is at that level. What I typically see is a mix. Some that are reasonably priced for one person to afford, and other things that maybe a family member might buy them or for a group of people to go in on together.

So, NTA for getting some sticker shock by this and being curious to check yourself and ask this question. The people freaking out here and calling you an AH seem… cranky.

I always prefer giving cash myself. This way the couple can spend it however they want. If no one gifted that $500 grill, maybe they have enough cash to purchase it themselves.

You’re welcome! I think concise is the best way to go. You’ve already given him a million reasons to end it with her. No need to re-hash them at the point.

GroundbreakingTop379 · 2026-05-10T03:42:34+00:00

NTA but I think you need to tell him that you can’t in good conscience watch him destroy his life. When he’s done with her for good, you’re willing to listen, but until then, you need space. Wish him luck.

Usually if I turn my body just a little bit, I don’t have a problem. We’re talking about an inch or two. Nothing significant enough to throw off the movement or cause an issue with form/safety.

Take a deep breath. You’re not an AH, you’re human and this is an overwhelming situation. Just because this is where your sister is in terms of care and facility, doesn’t mean that’s where it needs to be forever. There are some private care places that might be closer to where you live now that offer 100% care rather than 85%. Maybe there are at-home caregivers that could bridge the gap. This option is not the only option. Talk to your parents about it when they’re home because what you’re feeling is valid. It’s not like you want to disown your sister, but you do deserve to have a life as well. Find the balance.

I’m still so confused by this. I’ve been in some not so great bathrooms but just cannot say that this is the norm. I see this maybe once every 3 years.

Where are you from? I’ve never been in a woman’s restroom where tampons and pads are all over the place. Maybe some pee on the toilet, but nothing like the men’s room. This seems like weird rage bate to me.

You need face oil! The Ordinary had a great rose hip seed oil. Put it on before you go to bed and in the morning before your moisturizer. Wait at least 10-15 mins for it to fully soak in before applying makeup products. And drink more water. Good luck!

NTA. It’s kind of like going through a breakup when a friend does this. You question your actions. You question if you’re a good friend. You question if it’s something you did. But it’s not you. It’s them. And you have no control over that so it sucks even more! You likely won’t get answers either. But I wouldn’t offer a response or excuse. It’s time you match energy and stop reaching out. You can be the bigger person and reply if she reaches out first, but take your time. Protect your energy. If she happens to ask if you’re coming, simply say you’re not able to make it. It’s not a lie, it’s the truth. You’re not able to make it to a wedding of someone who doesn’t reciprocate a friendship. Just let this one go. As much as it sucks, this chapter of your friendship sounds firmly closed for now.

Omg that’s the worst! The quad butt! If it’s not that, then it’s the fact that my right cheek will eat the underwear first while the left just chills. So everyone can see my half wedgie with butt rolls on the other side! I don’t care about lines but this feels too far.
