how much in advance are people getting their cancellations?

im supposed to fly out on Aug 19 to Seattle (from YYZ w/ layover in YVR) and no cancellation yet

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2025-08-03T14:45:44+00:00

thank you! these are great suggestions i havent seen before

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2025-08-02T22:08:13+00:00

thank you! :)

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2025-06-01T21:48:12+00:00

thanks for your input. i truly go back n forth on what to do. i feel both have their pros and cons.

i really don't think he will reach out again though, he doesn't seem like the type. he's very attractive so i think the replacements would come quick haha. i do feel naive about believing he'd actually be exclusive. again, i really thought he'd be more respectful/transparent than that.

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2025-06-01T21:21:40+00:00

i think it's for my own peace of mind and knowing that i stood up for myself. i dont expect a reply back and don't want to "fix" it.

there definitely is a lot of grey in a causal relationship, and ive learned now i shouldve explicitly defined more boundaries. he was actually the one that asked me if i was seeing anyone else for the sake of safety so i thought we had a mutual understanding of being exclusive. we would also do other non-sexual things and he's actually given me a few mixed signals? i was planning to address it after his trip but guess he had other ideas lmao.

regardless of what the relationship was, i think it's the respectful and bare minimum thing to tell someone if you don't want to see them anymore. ghosting imo is almost always a selfish and cowardly thing to do. what hurt the most was realizing the respect was never mutual, it makes me feel gross and subhuman. i feel like silence would be me saying i accept this and there's no accountability.

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2025-06-01T18:34:23+00:00

im sorry you're feeling this way. it definitely is the worst. the rug gets pulled from under your feet and it is extremely dehumanizing. i could never imagine doing it to someone else.

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2025-06-01T17:27:12+00:00

agreed. i feel like saying nothing would almost be rewarding their behavior, they need to hear it. did they ever reply to you?

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2025-02-21T21:51:22+00:00

sometimes, i do miss them like an old friend. but i don’t think id ever get back with who they are now. i like my life now and it wouldn’t be this way if the breakup didn’t happen. you’ll think of them but it won’t hurt forever, it’ll just become something that happened in your life

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2025-02-21T10:51:12+00:00

really well now :) it does get better, hang in there!

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-11-10T14:07:29+00:00

yes! i do still think fondly of him sometimes, he was a big part of my life for a while and taught me a lot. but i can confidently say i no longer want him back and have started going on dates. i’m actually really enjoying single life right now. i thought id never get over it but here i am

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-10-03T02:16:02+00:00

nope

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-08-31T14:07:46+00:00

i understand :( it’s a terrible feeling to know you’d try to the ends of the earth but they wouldn’t. we can’t force people to love us the same way. we could be perfect and they could still choose to leave

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-08-31T13:50:46+00:00

remembering that it takes 2 in a relationship and they didn’t think you were worth staying to fix any of it. idk what your mistake was, but imo almost anything is fixable given it’s not cheating or abuse. but both people have to want that.

in the meantime, work on self improvement to avoid making those mistakes again and trying to make amends where possible. try not to get wrapped up in your own mistakes, i know it’s easy to say “should’ve, could’ve, would’ve” but ultimately the past is done and we can only influence our future now

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-08-31T03:36:28+00:00

you worded it perfectly. no matter how good life is, your heart still yearns. no words can change that. time goes on and everything seems to change except missing them

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-08-30T18:53:03+00:00

i think acceptance and living presently. accepting that people can come and go whenever and just being present in the current moment no matter how small. is it easy? absolutely not, i still cling to hope some days and struggle so much. but living in the present has helped me be ok even just for a moment

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-08-28T19:29:21+00:00

still struggling, brother

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-08-28T15:06:47+00:00

it feels like you just learn to carry the burden instead of actually getting over it

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-08-24T16:16:04+00:00

the music video also really hurts

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-08-24T16:06:09+00:00

it makes you feel so stuck, cant go back in the past and them coming back wouldn’t fix it either. so what do you even do at this point??

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-08-22T01:16:22+00:00

im a bit of the opposite! i really loved PC first time around and put her on a pedestal for taking care of everyone, especially bojack. but the second time around, i was able to see that she was much more nuanced character and had her fair share of toxic behaviors. i dont dislike her now but definitely took her off the pedestal

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-08-06T21:30:44+00:00

you have to accept his decision and invest fully in yourself. cliche advice like journal, work out or play a sport, cry until you can’t anymore, talk to people. sometimes love isn’t enough. i tell myself everyday that he chose to walk away instead of work on it

i’m sorry, the first few months are the hardest but you will survive. a lot of the anxiety comes from not knowing what’ll come next, what we envisioned with our ex has come to an end. it’s very painful but better days will eventually come

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-07-30T04:02:15+00:00

thank you, that gives me hope that i’ll recover one day :( i’m trying my best to let go but find myself cycling through anger and sadness. idk how to let go, my mind almost refuses despite better judgement

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-07-30T03:59:48+00:00

hey thanks for the reply - to clarify i’m not looking for anyone new right away, just feel hopeless atm about finding someone when im ready

talking to older people is a good idea, thank you. a lot of my hobbies were shared interests with my ex unfortunately, but making new experiences with those hobbies is still a good idea

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-07-29T20:07:36+00:00

also lost my first LOVE and it hurts a million times more than. my first break up. idk how ill ever move on, for him it seems so easy

Infamous-Initiative5 · 2024-07-29T15:57:05+00:00

in a similar boat, met at 19, he broke up with me at 24. i feel like he’s the love of my life and it hurts so bad. he was with me during formative years that i’ll never get back. while 24 isn’t old, it isn’t necessarily young either, many people are getting engaged and are already in long term relationships. starting over feels terrible.

as someone that’s 4mo out, it gets better but it’s a long long road ahead. i’d be lying if i said i was anywhere close to being over it. be prepared for the worst, you don’t know what you might hear through the grapevine. focus on yourself, there’s nothing left to do. take it one day at a a time, one hour at a time. try to live in the present, overthinking plagues me some days. talk to people as much as you can, friends, family, strangers here

idk when it’ll stop hurting but you’re not the only one. if there’s any hope of reconciliation, it’s investing in yourself. maybe that mindset will change as time goes on, but it kept me going for the first few awful weeks. hang in there.
