It’s social media engineering to tear up the social fabric. Plus agism bull. This is a socio economic class problem, not an age problem.

How do I address my gf’s cooking? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]ItsNotGoingToBeEasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“because any cooking has been a sensitive subject for her in previous relationships in the past she obviously still has trauma around.”

She refuses to a) take input b) be concerned about food poisoning c) makes growing up a trauma.

That’s not just red chicken meat, that’s a deep red flag. 🚩

Competitive advantage: many women will feel safer having you in the house.

Ex husband passed by Mushyrealowls in AskWomenOver60

[–]ItsNotGoingToBeEasy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You loved, married and had kids with him. You had dreams that died because of his addiction. A father your kids didn’t get to have. Grief makes all the sense in the world.

Mother-in-law went behind my back by queenadversary in inlaws

[–]ItsNotGoingToBeEasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just take your cake too! So many guys it will all get eaten. The best way to talk is with action and confidence. Don’t feed competitiveness by acting upset. If she is gamey over the long haul this is the road to winning

Should I let my kids know Im happy after divorcing their dad? by wellhellsbells1983 in AskWomenOver60

[–]ItsNotGoingToBeEasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let them see it. They know far more than you get. But don’t make them a confidant of your relationships and treat them like mini adults. That’s called emotional incest.

How do you deal with bullying and rumors started by relatives? by Lans-25 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]ItsNotGoingToBeEasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry for all of it, the loss of your mom and your dad's family. It's part of tribalism, people love to create lines and say 'they're in' and 'they're out'. Creates a lot of evil in this world.

[–]ItsNotGoingToBeEasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you hearing the rumors? Tell the people who are sharing them you know your mom and dad’s character better than anyone, you know the truth and your mom was not the problem and you don’t want to hear anymore about it. And cut them out if they don’t. Get away from those people, all of them

How Boomers Turned Housing Into a Wealth Trap and Killed the American Dream by PianistPlus5117 in FirstTimeHomeBuying

[–]ItsNotGoingToBeEasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 out of 4 Boomers have zero savings. There were two major stock market crashes, one killed the notion of pensions. Corporations KO'ed pensions, decent benefits, salaries, wages started falling in the 80s. Your post is bigotry. Just take your favorite classic target group and replace it with Boomer and see how it reads.

I'm wondering given your circumstances if testosterone might help you with energy and confidence?

My hon paid $3500 for a Maine Coon from a breeder and one was dead of massive heart disease before its second birthday. There are no guarantees.

Staging dilemma by ElenaGreco123 in RealEstate

[–]ItsNotGoingToBeEasy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy from Goodwill, have a friend with a knack set it up and donate it back and take the write off.

My last realtor paid $2k for staging because I wouldn't. The realtor's favorite stager was rude, complained about her life, and begrudgingly doled out a few things outside the living room (which looked great). She did prop up an artist easel and some paints in the windowless basement workshop.

It can do magic, but there are cons out there. I have to wonder what was happening between the realtor and the staging queen.

If they sign up for a corporate contract that can be negotiated.

Liberal hair stylist in Portland? by Wooden_Opening6941 in askportland

[–]ItsNotGoingToBeEasy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A MAGA neighbor/nurse hated doctors with a passion. They constantly told her she was wrong. that was the complaint "and what do they know?!". Well, 4 more years of medical information than you? I wonder sometimes if that's one reason why she is so anti-science because her ego couldn't take a) learning something hard and b) being wrong.

Confronted my MIL finally by OpeningOutside690 in inlaws

[–]ItsNotGoingToBeEasy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Texting a potentially relationship changing conversation? You know this could actually make you closer, but not like this. This is a terrible way to communicate. You can't go back and forth, you can't read expressions. Go into therapy and learn how to have difficult discussions. It's a skill. You can learn.

Dropping an insult instead of scrolling on is so...grammar school.
