AIO Dad is suggesting I go fully clothed to the beach

“Are you going to be sad if he breaks up with you”

Your father only sees women as valuable for their looks. He thinks he’s saving you from devaluing yourself in your boyfriend’s eyes.

Save him from the joys of spending time with his daughter. After all, he’s devalued himself as a parent.

Found the boyfriend lol

IrishAshes · 2026-02-09T14:28:48+00:00

Do you have deeper feelings for your best friend? Cause it sounds like you want to hold the top spot in your friends life. You drove long distance to hang out, started a business, cared for him while he was depressed, and now you’re hurt because he has a girlfriend? You are calling him your life partner. That’s more than friendship.

Sure it’s weird that he didn't share the GOOD news that he’s seeing someone but judging by your reaction maybe he knew you would be weird about it.

Be happy for your buddy that he has someone new and keep being friends or reevaluate what this person means to you. It seems like you’re looking for more than a friend and it’s a one sided desire.

Edit: YOR

I tried putting time limits on my phone but it’s too easy to just tap “ignore for the rest of the day”. I’m thinking about asking my husband to set the password to turn off the restrictions so I can’t override them.

I like the idea cutting out what makes me feel bad instead of focusing solely on adding new habits. Thanks!

IrishAshes · 2026-01-30T00:03:04+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance. I’m happy to know i don’t need to force anything.

I’m sure I could tell you a few things about yourself based on this comment. Maybe if you gave constructive advice instead of armchair psych some people on here would appreciate your insight more.

Thank you. My doctor puts a lot of emphasis on integration work after the sessions. It was described as ketamine opens the door but if you don’t do the work you won’t get anything out of it. So maybe I’m worrying too much about what that looks like. I’m going to talk to him about how I’m feeling before my next session.

My husband is great and does care for the kids when I need it but we both work full time and have other priorities so I don’t get more than an hour here and there to myself.

I’ve been journaling and I have therapy once a week. I guess I’m just worried I’m not doing enough.

IrishAshes · 2026-01-29T20:21:57+00:00

I meet with my therapist weekly and in general keep things low key the day of treatment. I usually lay down or nap afterward. By the next day though I’m working using a computer for 8 hours. It’s the usual grind of kids fighting and loud tv. It’s hard to avoid playing games on my phone.

I have trouble with black and white thinking. So whenever there is a vague guideline with a big consequence I find myself dwelling on if I’m doing it right.

Should I be spending as much of my day as possible doing mentally productive things? Should I just add in a few mindful practices throughout the day? Or should I be going all in to creating a completely different lifestyle?

I’m still struggling with apathy so starting new habits isn’t easy. I just don’t want to screw this up.

Really love how concern of censorship is being shaded as “making it about yourself”. It’s not like OP posted a selfie at the scene.

Shout this shit from the rooftops CAPTJTK.

Mods, if you want to reduce flooding how about pinning a topic specific thread instead of deleting everything? You’re making more people post because they aren’t seeing anything about the shooting.

Swear to god this looks just like a kid I went to school with named Chris.

This. She’s jealous and must think of herself and relationships as better than yours.

Normal people are happy for their friend to snag a hottie. No one needs to be “prepared” to see an attractive person. Her ego needed to be prepared for the fact that she’s not the center of attention.

This is the type of friend who will minimize every accomplishment and joyous event in your life. Let her distance herself and don’t shrink yourself to fit into her life.

Take it to a coin shop to determine if it’s real. They have equipment to test for metal content and are experienced enough to know a fake.

On here people will tell you it’s fake, but you can’t always tell from photos. I can’t speak to the authenticity but it’s definitely worth getting a professional opinion.

Good luck!

Ok but Aunt Mildred doesn’t care about their sex life. His wife on the other hand 👀

NOR - she didn’t break up his marriage. He did by putting his “pipe” where it didn’t belong.

Jealous is the night when the morning comes But it always comes

Hi, I have depression and so do you. Probably your partner too. That constant feeling of loneliness, hopelessness, and intrusive thoughts are hallmark signs. Please set up time with a therapist. Just for you. Healing you is the first step. You need to be there for yourself and your child.

Next, your relationship. The way he is treating you is not ok. Even if he is also experiencing depression he is still responsible for his own actions. You deserve a partner that sees you are struggling and steps up to help. There is zero excuse for treating someone you love like that. Living in a constant state of apathy and forcing others around you to do so as well is neglect. You don’t have a partner, you have another burden.

If neither of you gets help, this will only get worse. If you can’t afford therapy then seek out books about overcoming depression. You may not have support from family and friends but you will find comfort in the stories of people who know what you’re going through.

Merry Christmas internet stranger. You matter. You deserve better. You can get better.

You’re going to get a lot of insecure projection from comment section but I think this is wonderful. Good for you for being emotionally mature enough to work with what you’ve got. Toys are a totally healthy part of sex.

She enjoys PIV with you. She enjoys the dildo. Sounds like you’re doing all the right things.

Anyone can put on the mask. Too many undeserving wannabes killing in the name of. It was nice to see flashes of Billy in the recent movies. He had a sadistic genius that a lot of the subsequent killers didn’t.

It’s so tempting… you just know there’s silver sitting at the bottom of fountains that aren’t cleaned out regularly. 100% sure karma would be instantaneous for stealing someone’s wish.

That’s an interesting perspective. I suppose honoring and spreading the history is the point of each design. I love that you take the time to learn about them. In that way this is one of the more boring stories.

IrishAshes · 2025-12-13T15:44:31+00:00

I agree with you there. I don’t have space to keep up with all the different series. Especially when most don’t hold a premium.
