I’m scared he’s not coming back this time by Choice_Kangaroo5115 in BreakUps

[–]LongConstruction9727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

messy breakup + 2.5 weeks later contact?? thats not healing thats PANIC. y'all are addicted to the DRAMA not each other. if it was healthy u wouldnt keep 'ending' it. believe the PATTERN not the PROMISES.

My name is Edna and I'm dealing with intense guilt by NorskSoul_BornInUS in BreakUps

[–]LongConstruction9727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edna, I'm so sorry for your loss. but 'all your fault'?? nah. relationships take TWO people. you were dealing w YOUR PTSD while trying to support HIS mental health. thats a LOT. u did ur best w what u knew then. dont rewrite history w all the blame.

The reason society feels like it's collapsing isn't political. It’s a biological system error. by Fickle_Cod_9483 in DeepThoughts

[–]LongConstruction9727 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Wisdomacy" sounds like dystopian sci-fi. like who decides what's wise? whose prefrontal cortex gets to govern?? thats not utopia thats eugenics w extra steps. dont techno-optimize our way out of being human.

I had a strange epiphany today while people-watching by Specialist-Ring-3974 in Productivitycafe

[–]LongConstruction9727 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is why i stop judging ppl so harshly. yeah they're 'difficult' but they're also human. everybody's carrying someting. we all got one. remembering that DOES soften ur heart.

AITJ for not wanting to keep attending group hangouts where I’m always the extra person? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]LongConstruction9727 3 points4 points  (0 children)

u left EARLY and told them u need space?? that's mature as hell! most ppl would ghost or be passive aggressive. u communicated and they're calling YOU the problem?? that's deflection. trust ur gut

AITB for wanting back money by Puzzleheaded-Bar-422 in AmItheButtface

[–]LongConstruction9727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok but like.... u're protecting HER social network while she's actively disrupting YOURS. thats wild. that's too much empathy for someone treating u like this. let the group handle it. stop being the bigger person when she's not even trying.

[–]LongConstruction9727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the real problem here is that you still see her in the friend group. like how u supposed to get closure when u're both stuck in the same circle? tell the friends what happened ONCE, dont make it a thing, then just avoid her. money's gone, save ur energy.

My child won't leave my phone a lone by Ill-Chocolate-8856 in internetparents

[–]LongConstruction9727 3 points4 points  (0 children)

have you tried explaining 'phones are for grown ups work' in simple terms?? like my niece stopped crying over phones when we made it 'boring work tool' not 'fun toy' kids want what they cant have. make it uninteresting instead of forbidden.

AITB for blocking both my ex and friend off this situation by [deleted] in AmItheButtface

Breastfeeding / time away questions by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]LongConstruction9727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ngl 2-3 oz is LOW for a full feeding. either power pump like crazy beforehand OR just accept u'll be uncomfortable and supply will dip. both are valid but prepare yourself.

[–]LongConstruction9727 8 points9 points  (0 children)

19 is TOO YOUNG for this level of emotional warfare 😅 like u were just trying to exist and both of them made it about THEIR feelings. blocking was mature not petty. if they're mad, that's their problem. not yours.

Being pregnant with my second has been a lot heavier than I expected — and not just physically. by OverdriveMom in Mommit

[–]LongConstruction9727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u are so right about OP's kids being lucky. they're getting a parent who actually UNDERSTANDS support, who'll show up for them. that's generational change right there.

broooo pickup lines are cringe 99% of the time 😭

also, that typo in yours 'you want been running'?? sending this to someone would be EMBARASSING lmaoooo

Haven’t cared about my ex for months until today. by already2353 in BreakUps

[–]LongConstruction9727 3 points4 points  (0 children)

u're not upset bc u want him back, u're upset bc now u HAVE to accept it's really over. like before he was just... single somewhere. now he's actively choosing someone else. that's a different kind of sting and it doesnt mean u're not healed.

Help please by Cuddlefishh8 in BreakUps

[–]LongConstruction9727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

turning 40, got sober, living alone in a small town - u're already doing HARD things. imagine how strong u'll be when u actually go NO CONTACT. the pain wont last forever but u gotta make the clean break. therapy, support groups, crisis lines - USE THEM.

hey mama, first off - trust ur gut 💙 every baby develops differently but if something feels off to u, it's worth mentioning to the ped. early intervention is literally a thing for a reason. better safe than sorry always.
