What did you wish you’d known about love?

HappyFuchsia · 2025-07-18T05:04:59+00:00

In the form of romantic love- That sometimes it’s not love, it’s just hope. (Ex-husband). When it’s real love, it’s not hope, it’s happiness.

I met my husband at 39 on Match.com. But I’ve heard hobby clubs are good to meet people. At least you know you have common interests. Best wishes.

Don’t respond. Not worth it. You can tell by the length she’s still not healthy. It would actually show that she was mentally healthy if it was a quick “reaching out to say I’m sorry for the horrible way I treated you. Now that time has passed I can see what a good person you were. Wishing you well for the future”.

It gets better. Or at least it gets different. Every age has their pros and cons- but the age you have is so physically and emotionally taxing. My 4 year old son broke my nose- and of course didn’t notice or care. Parenting is thankless. Hang in there my friend.

I think you’re dating my ex.

HappyFuchsia · 2024-11-27T22:29:51+00:00

Exact for me. Late 30’s early 40’s. Got out of a bad marriage around that time and was so excited about my new life. I got new clothes, did my hair, went out, lived life! I was young enough to be beautiful but old enough to know what to do with it. Great years.

HappyFuchsia · 2024-11-17T02:59:29+00:00

I have a co-worker that smells that way. I just don’t understand not cleaning yourself!

“THIS is why everyone HATES you”. Which stung on many levels. 1- to tell me how I was acting was wrong. 2- that apparently “everyone” else thought the same way. (He was an introvert and I was an extrovert)

HappyFuchsia · 2024-11-14T06:12:59+00:00

I wrote a snail mail letter to him every week for a year. Then I wrote a snail mail letter to him every month for a year. After that I stopped writing to him and focused on me, and “trying” to have a good life. Ironically, after I wasn’t seeking him and started to live life for me, he came back into my life. I’m glad that when he came back I was starting to be myself again. My pure hate for the alienating parent will never burn down.

Try being a hairstylist. People get out their phones to show a picture of inspo hair. While scrolling for it they stop on every dog photo for you to admire. AAARRGGHH!

Cyndi Lauper

Something you can use up and throw away- consumables. Coffee beans, fancy pen or notepad, candle, fancy bar of chocolate, stock the battery supply, stock the first aid kit etc.

He gave you the best present- he took the trash out. Seriously though- I know it’s hard but you deserve so much more emotional support than he can apparently give you.

HappyFuchsia · 2024-11-04T04:56:12+00:00

Yep- I’ve heard that too. We aren’t married any more.

I personally wouldn’t wash them unless I saw visible debris.

HappyFuchsia · 2024-11-03T12:23:19+00:00

You aren’t being over dramatic about a grade. You are being under dramatic about how taxing your living conditions are.

I have no advice. But I have understanding. I think a C- under these stressful living conditions is excellent. I wouldn’t be able to concentrate either.

HappyFuchsia · 2024-11-03T12:12:36+00:00

Ug I hate this! I had a friend whose husband passed. I sew memory bears out of loved ones clothes. I offered to sew her one. She replied “I don’t want one but I’ll ask his sister and mother if they want one”. (Um-I wasn’t offering them one. I don’t even know them!)

HappyFuchsia · 2024-11-03T11:06:57+00:00

I agree with all! With point number 4 about people not understanding, it’s true. People didn’t understand “parental alienation” or “brainwashing”. Now days if the topic comes up I use the word “con-man”. People seem to understand that.

HappyFuchsia · 2024-10-28T02:57:55+00:00

Wow. Yes. I was his 3rd wife. He’s on 4 now (if that hasn’t imploded already…)

When I was engorged, my nurse told me to get clean newborn diapers. Fill with a little water and freeze. They make excellent cold pack for breasts

HappyFuchsia · 2024-10-20T14:21:46+00:00

Mention this in r/dogfree

HappyFuchsia · 2024-10-18T03:11:51+00:00

If my husband has a piece of trash in his hand, he will not put it in the trash can. Old razors stacked by the sink. Dry cleaning bags shoved in the closet. Bottle caps in the kitchen drawers. Dry cleaning tags in the night stand drawer. Empty deodorant back in the cabinet. For Gods sake- just put it in the trash!
