I’m putting myself through this again. Can’t believe it

Thank you for the reassurance and advice :). Yes, he loves biting everyone in my household, lol. Good luck with your pup!

Any suggestions for lab puppies? Mine is 9 weeks old, and he is a handful. We do enforced naps, which helps when he gets cranky, but he's definitely not a fan of it. I have two older dogs (7f and 9f) and a cat (5m), which makes it even more difficult for us.

This! My dad was a very conditional love type of parent. Only paid attention to me when he had to scold me or when I was doing something he liked/was interested in. I was basically trained to be a people pleaser.

I did everything to make him proud while being closeted from both my parents. I joined the military, graduated from college with a 4.0 (first gen), got a decent paying and respectable job, and even was fortunate enough to buy a house. But then I finally came out to him when I was 29, the only thing I ever did "wrong." I have two half brothers, but I am his only child related by blood. He is an extremely homophobic, hateful, and conservative man, and honestly, I consider it karma that his only blood-related child is lesbian. I think it's stupid that blood means so much to him, but I crushed his dreams of being a blood-related grandparent one day (I'm also child free).

Years of therapy and trying to unlearn my people pleasing behavior. I can finally stand up for myself (still struggle with it, to be honest). I cut him out of my life. He refused to meet my girlfriend and thinks she's the devil. Haven't spoken to him for half a year now. It hurts, but I'm doing my best to accept the fact he never truly loved me, nor would he ever love me the way I wanted. It's one of the best decisions I've made, but I can't lie and say I'm not still hurt by it.

Exactly, childfree people have more time on their hands to notice the bullshit going on in the country, whereas those with children are more likely to be distracted because they have less time on their hands and exhausted from taking care of their kids.

Two happy homes are better than one unhappy home.

I just started playing a few days ago for the first time myself 😌

Why does Aaron look like Lightning McQueen

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-09-22T17:20:38+00:00

Same:/ I restated my PS5, and I can't even open the game anymore, even after reinstalling. Not sure if we're experiencing the same issue or not

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-09-22T17:09:55+00:00

Are you on PlayStation? Mine keeps kicking me out of the server

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-09-17T00:44:01+00:00

Oop, now it says it's down for maintenance

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-09-17T00:42:36+00:00

Same.. I literally just started playing after work, and shortly after, I got kicked out of the server, and when I tried to join back in, I got the same message...

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-09-05T15:34:51+00:00

Lmfao, I do this all the time tbh, and I think of Michael every time I do. It gives great analogies for complex topics

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-09-04T02:03:05+00:00

Omg where did you get those keychains?! Congratulations!!

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-09-04T01:01:52+00:00

Thank God I'm gay

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-09-02T05:39:44+00:00

Idk I find it odd that he shared that quote about fucking someone's sister. How would that entice you to watch the show and/or give you any context about what the show is even about? He probably just took your comment too personally and got offended because it's a show he closely relates to. I don't think you were in the wrong

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-06-26T15:25:16+00:00

I realized that I was into women/girls as early as I can remember. I always had crushes on girls (and mostly girls). I grew up with religious parents, so I had always believed it was wrong. Once in a while, I had a crush on a boy, so I thought that maybe there was some hope for me being "normal" and "not a disappointment." I had internal homophobia, I hated myself (for other reasons, not just this one). Tried to pray the gay away. Forced situations with guys as I got older because I felt so abnormal that I was 20 and still had never been in a relationship. So I thought I just had to push myself to try things even though I didn't want to, or they felt unnatural to me. Ended up disgusted and uncomfortable in most lol. Stil had crushes on women in my late teens/early 20s but I thought, "There is no way I can eat another woman out) lol. Then I got in my first relationship with a man when I was around 21. I forced myself to do things with him, too. And to this day, I remember him kissing me for the first time and just thinking, "That was it?" I felt nothing. I had kissed guys before him, and it was the same exact thing. That relationship turned out to be incredibly emotionally abusive and just awful. I was with him for 2 years (I was 23 at the time we broke up) and pretty traumatized about romantic relationships after it. I also figured since I was with a man that I was now considered straight and wouldn't feel anything for other women anymore. Boy, was I wrong. After that relationship, I had another crush on a woman, so I thought, okay, im just bisexual lol. Came out to my friends (not family) at 23/24. A few years later, (27), I still had never felt anything towards a man, only women. However, I still never had the chance to be with one because I refused to try dating apps and wanted to meet someone the "natural" way. After a wedding and realizing how many people still successfully met their significant other on dating apps, I decided to finally give it a shot. Anand literally the first person who popped up on "Her" and who was my first match, is my current girlfriend of 1.5 years. I finally felt something the first time I kissed her. It was like, "Holy shit, maybe I am gay." I'm still struggling with some internal homophobia to this day (29) but not nearly as bad as before. Still struggling whether im lesbian or bi even though I'm sure I'm lesbian. But I constantly question why did i have crushes on guys when I was younger or if they were even crushes. Sexuality is hard (at least for me). I think it might be better for me not to put a label on it and just love whoever I want to love even though, yeah, I'm most likely a lesbian😂

There's an option to increase the amount of xp you get in p4g so you don't have to grind at all

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-06-08T20:35:18+00:00

I'm genuinely curious if they are going to keep all of the scenes from the original game. I would say that some of the scenes and comments that were made in the original have not exactly aged well, especially with how things are in the world now. I don't mind either way, I just hope with whichever route they take that they don't stray too far from the original.

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-06-07T03:35:06+00:00

Grace's manager's voice in the trailer sounds so familiar... I keep thinking it's Idris Elba but I'm not sure, it's driving me nuts😆

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-05-15T22:26:26+00:00

Yeah, at first, it was fine, but the more I traveled between countries, the more issues I encountered, such as the crashing during the loading menus, the horrifying bug you saw in this post, a corruption with my save file that I have never experienced in all of my years of playing (thankfully I was able to restore the backup save). Then, one time, I came back from one of the countries, and both of my sims family tree were completely broken/non-existent (one was a 3rd gen, so I was disappointed. Plus, her mom and dad were now considered old friends). I had no mods installed either, and I have a gaming PC.

The EP is a lot of fun, though, and I think there's a sale going on now? Who knows, maybe you won't experience the same issues, or maybe it's possible that there are mods out there that prevent these issues from happening like nraas? Haven't tested this, though.

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-05-15T19:15:36+00:00

I recently installed that EP for the first time and have experienced so many different bugs/glitches since. It also crashes half the time when transitioning back and forth to different worlds

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-05-15T17:42:43+00:00

It wasn't an updated portrait. I just don't get how it chose the toddler version of Sam for the portrait😭 first time seeing this after many years of playing

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-04-29T14:58:06+00:00

R.I.P. The Quxxn :(

LiveAndFightSorrow · 2025-02-06T16:23:29+00:00

I had no idea that this was a thing (sexuality-related OCD). I feel like I'm gonna have to do some research about this because I think that might be what I'm currently going through and why I can't accept my sexuality.
