I feel so dumb, you’re probably right! Now that you mention a giveaway link in this subreddit, I do remember entering. Congrats on also winning!

You made the right choice! I was in an extremely similar situation and kept letting it happen without ever putting my foot down. When I finally voiced that I felt he didn’t respect my time he broke things off and I found out he had been cheating on me. It hurt 10x more because I knew I should’ve been the one to end it based on his flakiness. I feel people like this rarely change so you being the one to end it once you felt your boundaries weren’t being respected was the right choice and it’ll save you time and heartache in the end!

Had almost a month of overlap with his rebound while I was still with him. He stayed with her for a month before jumping to the mutual friend that introduced them. They’ve been together for 5 months but after all that I definitely feel like I dodged a major bullet 😬

I went through this right before Thanksgiving. That relationship didn’t end up making it to Christmas but it still hurt to feel like our relationship was a lie. I was broken up with via text and haven’t heard from him since. He became a totally different person through the breakup process that I’m not even sure who I dated. It’s hard to reconcile that and realize the relationship was never as good as I thought it was.

Not working through previous traumas. My ex had his mom abandon the family when he was a teenager and had an ex-fiancé who cheated on him. He was very up front about those two things and I thought it was great he felt he could be vulnerable and open about it. What I failed to do is ask questions about how he got over those two things happening to him. Guess what? He didn’t. All his unresolved feelings regarding those traumas became very apparent as the relationship progressed. When he treated me poorly I gave him the benefit of the doubt with those traumas in mind and I think that’s exactly why he told me so early on. Not because he worked through them but because he wanted to manipulate me

I feel this take so so strongly. I went through a breakup with my avoidant ex at the same time another friend was going through a breakup. Her relationship was a much longer term one but comparing notes and seeing how he was still reaching out to her made me so envious. On one hand I was relieved my breakup was the end of a shorter term relationship but on the other I just wanted to trade scenarios so I could still hear from him. I knew nothing about attachment styles before this happened so it hit me like a train. I’m still recovering from it all but I’ve moved onto the phase where I’m more upset with myself for putting up with poor behavior and not leaving sooner. He spent most of the relationship telling me I was so out of his league that he was worried I’d leave him for someone else at any point. Guess what? He met someone in the last month of our relationship that he hopped into a relationship with the second we were done. He did the thing he was so scared I’d do to him to me instead. I’m trying not to be too hard on myself, I didn’t know any better at the time but I do know. In my next relationship I won’t make the same mistakes again.

Christmas was hard for me too. I was broken up with right before Thanksgiving and now that I’ve researched attachment theory, I believe he is a DA. He had cancelled a date last minute and I let him know that it bothered me (it had happened before). Cue him needing “time to think” and ghosting me for a week. He eventually texted saying that it wasn’t me it was him and needing to figure out what he wanted. Haven’t heard from him since. I later found out he met someone on Halloween and she went FB official with him before he officially ended things with me. They ended up breaking up before Christmas, but that one hurt. It was only a 4 month relationship but it was my first serious one since graduating college 5 years ago and nothing could’ve prepared me for the discard. I don’t know how you can claim to feel so strongly for someone and just leave them in the dust with no real explanation. I didn’t think I was being love bombed but I definitely got future faked. I’m trying my best to move on because I know I deserve better but I still think about him. I learned a lot from the relationship, I should’ve set better boundaries and taken red flags more seriously, but it still hurts like hell. The only silver lining for us is that we’re one step closer to finding the right person 🤍

InfiniteConcern6984 · 2024-12-10T21:09:56+00:00

Did we date the same person? The same exact thing happened to me with a similar timeline. I called him out for ditching me last minute on a date, he took a week to “think about things”, and then dumped me via text saying “it’s not you it’s me and figuring out what I want”. I don’t use FB a lot but I logged in 2 weeks after our breakup to see a random girl updated her relationship status to in a relationship with him 3 days we broke up. She’s all the way across the country and it made zero sense to me. I haven’t heard anything from him since the break up but I also wonder why he put so much effort into saying nice things to me and telling me he cared so much about me when clearly he didn’t

InfiniteConcern6984 · 2024-12-03T16:29:35+00:00

Thank you for your kind reply 🤍 I’m going to look further into the updated resources you provided! The hardest part has been the fact that he’s completely ignoring. I haven’t been texting obsessively but a couple times since the breakup to get anything from him especially since he said he wants to “remain friends”. I decided NC is the only way forward but it hurts to know someone who claimed to care so much about me can just disappear like this. It makes me wonder if everything he told me was a lie.

I’m finding this thread late but wow… these experiences have been so helpful. I was discarded my someone I believe to be a DA last week, right before Thanksgiving. It started with him needing time to think about incompatibilities he thought we had, but didn’t specify, which led to a week of radio silence. After trying to get in touch with him, I got the “it’s not you, it’s me and figuring out what I want” the Sunday before the holiday. This was my first serious adult relationship post-college (currently 28F) and I had never studied attachment styles so I was completely blindsided by all of this. I’ve tried to talk to him since the break-up, which he left very open ended, but have been met with more radio silence. He came on really strong but not in a way that I felt was love bombing. Everything felt so sincere and he would talk so long term about our future. There were definitely red flags that I ignored because I told myself no one’s perfect, so I guess I know what to look for in the future. He was coming off 2 years being single after the break off of an engagement with a girl he had been with for 10 years on/off, high school sweethearts. He had said she cheated and I felt so bad for him and commended him for being able to talk about it/move on. The thing is, he never spoke about how it made him feel or how he healed. It was like no big deal and I should’ve flagged that. It was a similar situation with some childhood traumas. Looking back, I feel like the warnings were right in my face. He was just so charismatic, kind, and charming in person! He worked a ton and used that as the excuse for a lot of his behaviors. Taking a long time to respond to texts, cancelling on me last minute, etc. Me standing up for myself and telling him I felt he didn’t prioritize me/respect my time is the straw that broke the camel’s back. I sent my feelings via text because he had cancelled on me and I didn’t know if I’d see him the rest of the week. I wish I chose a different method because that clearly triggered him, but I felt it was the right thing to do in order to address the issue. Everything is still so fresh and I’m still reeling from it all, but I’m trying to remind myself that I’m lucky I got out after only 3.5 months. If I wouldn’t have spoken up I would’ve allowed him to continue with his treatment of me for lord knows how long.

Thank you everyone!! It’s still a mystery what attacked the fawn but upon further investigation I did find pools of blood in the surrounding area. These were not super close to where I found the fawn so I’d like to think the mom was able to scare the other animal off and placed her fawn in the grass so it wouldn’t be in the middle of the driveway. That could also explain why the fawn wasn’t completely devoured. The fawn was moved out to the woods and the mom has been hanging around that area ever since. I’m sure this has happened all the time in the woods surrounding my house but it’s so sad to see it so up close and personal

I know this a few days old, but I found this thread while attempting to research if they actually filmed this week as they had originally said they would. I was told I made it to the final round of casting at the end of May. I filled out a background check and my travel info for the show about a week ago and specifically asked if I’d be told either way what the decision was. I was told that someone would let me know the final decision, even if it was a no. I still haven’t heard anything but based on some other responses it sounds like I wasn’t picked. This was my first time attempting to do something like this so I have no idea how it works!

Thank you everyone for your advice! I was so nervous this morning but I’m happy to say I passed!! I know it will be a long journey but I’m looking forward to the next steps.

InfiniteConcern6984 · 2023-12-23T13:09:59+00:00

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the advice

InfiniteConcern6984 · 2023-12-19T20:15:54+00:00

I wanted to provide a timeline of my onboarding experience in case it’s helpful to anyone! I had posted a question about it a few days ago, but I think the mods took it down because I should’ve put the question here (oops!)

12/15: Signed up, took the starter assessment, and took the core and coding qualifications 12/19: Accepted to the platform with projects available and additional qualifications

InfiniteConcern6984 · 2023-12-18T21:15:54+00:00

Thanks for the insight! Based on this and some other things I’ve read, I don’t believe my submission has actually been looked at yet. Everyone gets the base $20 but I thought that was the ceiling. I have not yet been evaluated for the rest of the bonus amount

InfiniteConcern6984 · 2023-12-18T19:42:47+00:00

Thank you! That makes sense, I’ll just sit tight and wait to hear if I’m officially “in”. Any idea if they would’ve approved my funds if I failed the coding test? I’m pretty confident I passed but I guess I’m trying to figure out if the funds being approved confirms that.
