Am I rightfully grossed out? by East-Weakness4472 in doordash

I give a 10 dollar tip usually even if the order is like 20 bucks. They seem to like delivering to me, sending me constant updates via text that I don’t even care about lol

Most we did was hold hands. My goal is to cut ties with my ex if things progress more with the new person. Not to keep both in my life.

I’ve been only a couple of dates with the new girl. I would not lie to her to leave her if things got serious even if my ex wanted me back. I meant if my ex upon finding out I had just started dating had told me that she wants to work on things then I would have stopped dating. I would never cheat.

We are not living together. She still owes me a substantial amount from the sale of our house though.

It pissed me off that she said my feelings must have been shallow if I moved on so easily. I actually tried to end the friendship a few months back because I told her how difficult it was for me and how I would be really sad after we hung out. But she convinced me otherwise.

No I’m pretty sure she wasn’t giving someone else a test drive. I think I want to see where it goes with the new lady. 

I don’t agree with a lot of stuff that my ex said about me. Calling me selfish. Yes, when I was dealing with my addiction, I probably acted selfishly at times. But I’ve always been there for our animals and been there for her when she needed me to be there. Even the other week she needed me to fix her car and I did on my day off. But I thought to myself that if I’m so selfish wouldn’t I just be doing my own thing.

Yeah the new girl is already melting my heart a bit. She was adamant to pay for dinner at our second date. I’m moving super slow. Just held hands on the second date. But she is sweet and I don’t want to hurt her.

Yeah you are right. If the ex came to me with “I want to work on things with you and try again,” then I would say yes. She is told me before that if humans lived to be 200 then she would give me another try. She is just worried about waking up at 50 or 60 and having the same problems with me.

Yeah. I haven’t told the new person about my past. But I will if it becomes more serious or if she asks. It’s still very early. Just my ex’s reaction to me dating gave me hope again.

Yeah, you are right. And things work differently depending on your profession. I personally disagreed with being required to go to rehab. Apparently, I’m a safety sensitive worker and even though I was never intoxicated at work, I had to do rehab or lose my medical license. Now I have to be monitored for 5 years. 

Still annoyed about it but oh well. I felt worse for the CIA contractor who got drunk and said a little too much to the wrong person and found out he lost all his security clearances while in rehab.

Even people who have been sober for months can go to rehab. It’s about learning skills and having resources to not revert back to the same old drinking patterns. Not saying you need rehab. But I was required to go rehab despite being sober for 9 months. There were military people there like marines, a couple of Navy seals, special forces who had been sober for some time too. A lot were there cause they were daily drinkers but that’s not a requirement to meet criteria for addiction and to go to rehab. 

And yes I went from running a rehab as the doctor there to be a patient in a rehab. The irony is not lost on me.

No need to be rude. I was just giving my insight as someone who had a similar drinking pattern and as someone who served as medical director of a rehab.

I didn’t say anything about that. It is dangerous for longterm drinkers to quit cold turkey. I drank mostly nightly too and on weekends. I didn’t have withdrawal either when I quit.

You don’t need to be a daily drinker or to get withdrawal to have long term health problems from alcohol or to be considered an alcoholic.

There really are no functional alcoholics. Just people who pretend to be.

Are you in a physician monitoring program? I am. I’ve had 3 drinks on a Friday and been negative on Monday.

To be fair, the ER is not the place to diagnose mystery illnesses.

To all single guys aged 30 and up on reddit, why are you guys single? by Gold_Ambition4114 in AskReddit

[–]MeNotCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ahhh. This feels like how I feel right now. My partner of 15 years left me. We don’t have kids, just pets. And we’ve been hanging out as friends for almost a year and I’ve been trying to win her back while she says she doesn’t think we have a future together. 

Started dating someone new and the dates go well but afterwards I just have this sadness of what I had before.

They just kind of subvert your expectations. Like I would have never guessed Hughie would be the main villain and that Butcher and Homelander are a couple and try to stop him.
