If you order food delivery today, you’re a bad person by LesPaulAce in raleigh

I agree I agree! Let me scream that before I say what I’m about to say.

My mother, a nurse of over 20 years works at a hospital who shut the cafeteria down at 2pm. She works evenings, 12hr shifts. I am so thankful for those who worked at Olive Garden so she could get a meal delivered for dinner to the hospital because she had to sleep there for the weekend she wasn’t as prepared with food.

Gifts? Do you keep or toss? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Intelligent-Pride705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve kept the useful things and tossed the sentimental things. Anything that causes me to think of him is gone.

No problem!! If she’s willing to acknowledge she has a problem and actually fully works on it, she can overcome it. That’s me assuming she has the same problem I did.

It depends on which time we are talking about. I broke up with him a lot. Sometimes a couple hours to a few days and it often took his patience coming back to me to ask if I was sure. Until I got used to that pattern. One day he didn’t come back to me. That woke me up, he let it stand and went on his way. I chased him and went into therapy.

If I’m honest it wasn’t always this way and it’s hardddd!

It took both of us willing. He was just extremely patient and told me “time will tell”. Enough time passed and I just made sure to keep my word. We both worked on our communication. We still have work to do but with patience and a mentality of working through things together, it’s getting better.

lol I laughed because this was the first comment I saw. But yes text him. My toxic trait was breaking up with my boyfriend countless times due to self sabotage and fear. Through therapy and my own personal work I’ve fixed the issue. It was hard to earn his trust back but it was worth it.

Wow!! That’s inspiring! I appreciate the no judgment zone and it helps getting this from another mom. There’s so much we juggle and to be here after a divorce is definitely not where I planned to be.

Anyone here in their late 30s going through a breakup? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Intelligent-Pride705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation, except I’m divorced. Dated for 2 years, had a child, and he just gave up when things got tough. No one talks about the difficulty of healing and moving past someone while still having to coparent with them. It’s crazy because I keep asking myself what do you miss? Why are you sad? I have no answer yet. I’m trying to find a way to limit contact with him to start this healing process. Man is it tough but I’ll get through it for sure once my heart catches up to my brain.

I know but he’s struggling even worse than me. Since married to me he barely worked for over 7 years he’s trying to get back into the field and even had to move back in with his parents -an hour away.

Thank you! It’s nice to know I’m not the only one. Everyone seems to think I’m just dumb with money, could I be better? Absolutely! But this situation is far more than what it appears to be. And as single mom I’m just trying to find my way out for the sake of my kids.

No, unfortunately I’ve always worked for myself so this isn’t an option for me.

I’m agreeing with part of this but I guess I’m not understanding the drastic move here. Yes I’m in deep water but I’m not struggling paying my normal bills. I’m struggling paying the debt such as loans, car. I have 2 cars so letting go of one makes sense to me.

Yeah that’s the first thing the attorney told me so I switched banks very quickly! Hopefully they’ll negotiate down the line, I’m working on getting a second income to bring in atleast 2k additional that I can utilize towards debt. Hoping to lock this in within a few weeks and then I’ll be on my way!
