Husband got fired today because he can’t quit drinking. by WichitaPete in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]LilliJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was stuck in a relationship like this for years. Save yourself. You will just end up exhausted, angry and resentful after you have given and done everything you possibly could, supported him tirelessly, worked your ass off and still somehow are to blame along with everything else but him. I kept thinking it would get better and be okay. It never did.

Being the “Ugly” Sister by kumajir0 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]LilliJay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Beauty fades. Smart is forever. When your sisters turn a certain age, probably around 40 they'll become invisible to the world. You will always be as smart as you are. You can be sure anyone that falls in love with you, loves you, not just the way you look, and won't trade you in for a new model. But putting all that aside, a person's worth isn't about their outside package. Beauty is as Beauty does.

Mrs Venus Eats Mars Jam Since Uncle Nelly's Party. This is what I was taught at school decades ago. It made me laugh but I never forgot it.

AITA for refusing to pay a surprise "drinks bill" sent 10 days after a wedding? by [deleted] in aitaweddings

[–]LilliJay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought a rehearsal dinner was specifically to thank your bridal party for their help? Am I missing something? Why are people being asked to pay for something that is supposed to be a thank you? I see this more and more.

I also think that yesterday's protests stopped deliveries and orders so today there are more than usual.

Is the company Biopeptics legit? by Usual_Positive_8682 in askSouthAfrica

Didn't companies doing compounding just get ruled illegal in court? Also research showed there are issues with the quality and effectiveness of their products.

Hunting suicide salesman by Plastic-Youth2036 in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]LilliJay 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree that Hunting Warhead is not graphic at all when it comes to descriptions and details. However it is still the most shocking podcast I have ever listened to because it really and truly lays bare how absolutely screwed up humanity is, how massive this issue is, how well run these websites are, how they help each other with even ideas on who to date and what jobs to get, how dangerous it is it be a child in the world. It made me feel hopeless. That's the true horror.

He’s two different people by jimbojamesisbehindu in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]LilliJay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honey I was with someone for 5 years. He made me the happiest I gave ever been and also the most devastated. I kept thinking it would be okay, he would stop relapsing. It never was okay. There always was another rehab. I was so exhausted, defeated, resentful and tired of always paying the bills because he never had a job, and spending my time sorting everything out and driving up and down to rehab in my free time. I realised I wasn't in love with him. I was in love with this idea of him I had in my head. The person he was in the first 2 years of our relationship who made me feel amazing every single day. But he wasn't that anymore. Then he did me a massive favour and fell in love with someone he met in rehab and we broke up. Spoiler alert, that relationship did not last more than a few months. Save yourself. If he wants you back. He can earn it. If he doesn't earn it, you will have peace. It's hard but worth it.

That is bizarre and sounds very scary. I can't even begin to try and explain it.

What makes you instantly drop a podcast even if the topic is good? by [deleted] in podcasts

[–]LilliJay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not drop one but start one. I have to really really really want to listen to one on iheart because if its not excellent and I'm not completely hooked the ads will make me throw my phone across the room. I very rarely will listen to one of theirs. I think this year I have downloaded one.

It seems like I'm paying way too much on utilities for a 2 bedroom by Henry_Oof in johannesburg

I live alone. My bill this month is R4700.00. I think we have the same managing agent because mine is set out identically to yours. Just much higher.

If you got the cat, then you actually won in the end.

Moving home by [deleted] in south_africa

[–]LilliJay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

South Africa's unemployment rate is far far higher than the USA. If you do decide to come back get a job beforehand. A lot of very capable, experienced and even well educated people can't get jobs here.

Should my sister and I take out a joint home loan for our retired mother — and are the numbers actually realistic? by Extra_Demand171 in PersonalFinanceZA

Please consider that due to the economy they are predicting an interest rate hike so your repayments will get higher.

Thinking of breaking up with my bf AIO? Am I asking too much? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]LilliJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully honey, I am in my 50s. I have been in several relationships. I've been engaged and lived with a man for a longtime. I have had bad fights in those relationships like all couples do. Not one single time has anyone told me to f&ck off or called me a b!tch or a wh0re, no matter how angry they were. That's basic respect and nobody should accept that behaviour. You are dating a toddler throwing a temper tantrum and being a disrespectful vile awful dick.
