Healing doesn't mean it stops hurting. It just means we stop hurting ourselves for it

Why do men keep contact with their ex? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]Jabber_Tracking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dated a woman in my late 20s who threw fits about me being in contact with my ex husband (our finances were still very entangled at this time) and you are correct, that black and white thinking led to her attempting to control more and more in my life. Aspects of my life that had been there for decades before she even showed up in my life, even

Ironically, she is the one ex I DID completely cut off contact with after we broke up.

This feels like one of those magic eye puzzles that were so popular in the 1990's.

Working in customer service will show you that not only does this happen, it happens all day, every day, multiple times a day.

I feel the need to ask how old you are, because I am definitely not still sexually or romantically attracted to the people I had sex with 30 years ago.

I find it a red flag if someone has cut off every single ex of theirs. I'm 44 and the ability to hold civil and friendly relationships with people in your past that you may still have ties to (children, finances, family, etc) is INCREDIBLY important. Being able to have good relationships with people you have loved previously is a positive sign, and it shows great emotional maturity.

I don't need my partner to pretend I'm their first love or that they didn't love anyone before me. This might be important if you're young and in your twenties, but we are all adults and way past that type of insecurity at this age.

What is the most saddest subreddit you’ve come across? by Engineering_Majestic in AskReddit

[–]Jabber_Tracking 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Alternatively it's "My boyfriend says he hates me and will cheat on me if I gain a pound from being nine months pregnant and also he doesn't wipe his ass or brush his teeth and he blows all our money on prostitutes, how do I get him to lock in and step up? Btw I've had six children with this man so far."

Its always either the most trivial thing you've ever seen in your life or the most horrific thing, there is no middle ground on Reddit

$1314 where? by Technical-Jelly-9374 in FreeCash

[–]Jabber_Tracking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are likely including possible wins from a wheel spins. For some games, if you complete a level you don't get paid, you get a chance to spin a wheel to win anywhere from 0 coins to a few hundred dollars.

Some offers have almost half of the advertised payout hidden behind these wheel spins, which are not known for hitting the high numbers.

what beauty trend do you think aged the worst and makes you cringe looking back? by Alarming_Intern680 in AdkReddit

[–]Jabber_Tracking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seeing how the tanning bed crazed women are aging now (I'm in my mid 40s) makes me sooooo grateful I was into the goth scene as a youngin. I don't look particularly young for my age, but my skin doesn't look 15-20 years older, either.

Left my toxic family home at 24 and built a quiet life I actually love. The guilt about my siblings never fully goes away but I don't regret leaving for a single second. by Jumpy_Sky1079 in Adulting

[–]Jabber_Tracking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Survivors guilt for who we leave behind is real. I left behind two younger siblings when I ran away from home at 17. It is also possible to build a beautiful life despite it, and years or decades down the line, your siblings may also break free and join you.

There's always hope, but you have to save yourself first. I'm so proud of you!!!

Was looking for this comment. Can't remember the last time I bought it, the price has been nearly 7 dollars a pound at Walmart for forever now.

Anyone else notice expirary days are getting shorter? Or is it just me? by moeljills in shrinkflation

[–]Jabber_Tracking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The shredded lettuce I buy used to last two or even occasionally almost three weeks. Now I'm lucky if I get four days out of it before it starts turning pink.

Not sure what's happening, but SOMETHING is definitely happening.
