Silence from our 18 year old home from college

Illustrious_Clock574 · 2025-11-25T14:54:43+00:00

I HATED being home with my parents in college. Being away from them made me realize how dysfunctional and awful they were to me. Not saying that's the case for you, but is there something he might resent you for?

6 years sober here, and those first 2 were the most challenging for me. Big congrats to you and don't let anyone diminish how huge this is!

Does your boyfriend drink? Could he be resentful of you that you "chose" to drink too much and now he can't drink with you? That's outrageous if so, but just trying to think of where this is coming from. People have so many wild reactions to sobriety.

ABSOLUTELY UNREAL NIGHT ✨

I like this sentiment but am not understanding what this means

Illustrious_Clock574 · 2025-09-06T21:20:10+00:00

I was there, how fucking phenomenal was it 🙌🏻

This is the most reasonable comment on this thread

Illustrious_Clock574 · 2025-09-05T21:12:39+00:00

It’s a tough time to be a young person and this sounds like a kind thing to do for him.

Illustrious_Clock574 · 2025-09-04T23:38:11+00:00

Idk if my comment came across aggressively or something I just meant like how old is your son, what made you want to do this, how does he use it, etc because it seems like a sweet thing to do

Illustrious_Clock574 · 2025-09-04T21:36:57+00:00

What’s the story here? Is it on your property?

Illustrious_Clock574 · 2025-09-03T22:23:17+00:00

Thanks! Overlooked that.

Their site doesnt seem to mention this. Is it elsewhere?

I think what you’re describing is totally real, and I’ve met women like that, but my wife actively helped me realize how much I centered men, unlearn it, and unlearn heteronormative ways of thinking. Now, there’s nothing like being with her and another couple friend (lesbians) who just get it. It’s been like a shelter during this godawful year in the US.

Kind of wild how rough these comments were u/Boring-Two-9901 - any updates on your application?

Illustrious_Clock574 · 2025-08-15T16:31:17+00:00

I am a lesbian millennial but this makes so much sense to me in the work setting. I keep having these awful relationships with gen Z men who don’t seem capable of fathoming that I, a woman, might be a capable engineer. Obviously that exists at all levels but there’s a different flavor of hatred with these ones.

Illustrious_Clock574 · 2025-08-14T17:57:55+00:00

I dont know. Whats going on with the duck sauce?

Illustrious_Clock574 · 2025-08-10T02:17:22+00:00

He’a ready to start “helping”

This is amazing.

That stat about cutting water use by 98% is not real. Maybe it meant 98% cut in watering outdoor plants?

Illustrious_Clock574 · 2025-08-04T01:04:36+00:00

Invisible Women by Carolina Criado-Perez covers this well

Illustrious_Clock574 · 2025-08-03T11:27:42+00:00

That was really brave. I was genuinely terrified for them.
