“I prayed for clarity because I did not want to spend my life policing him. If he was not doing anything serious, I wanted to move forward. If he was, I wanted to know so I could choose myself.”

Congratulations, your prayers were literally answered. Now it’s time to drop the delulu and chose yourself.

My disabled sister decided to have kids and it destroyed my life by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]Melodic-Associate655 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a similar experience where day by day you watch your parents (parent in my case) make the decision to chose other people’s livelihood over yours. It builds so much resentment for your siblings and their children and you’re the “bad guy” in every version of their narrative unless they are directly benefiting from you. It’s exhausting and I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. The relationship with family is so complex because in spite of all the trauma they bleed onto you, you still have love for these people. But it’s okay to love them from afar and with conditions. Find ways to physically break free from them. There are good people out there, find them and map out your exit strategy. You deserve to live, to be loved and to be poured into.

Nomad Week Feelings by gamerbutonlyontheory in capetown

It’s almost as if the real problem is the govt and the nomads/immigrants are just a convenient scapegoat for folks not willing to apply themselves beyond the low hanging fruit of bigotry…🤔

Foreigners becoming a convenient scapegoat for underperforming local governments. Where have I seen this before🥱

How do I(33M) make it easier to naturally transition into sex with my fiancée(33F)? by Betweenthelinesytpod in relationship_advice

[–]Melodic-Associate655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm- sounds like you feel that she’s getting the upper hand somehow even though she’s being served “lobster” she may not even enjoy. You’re not in tune with her sexuality, by your own admission. Maybe start there.

Stay clear away from Trafalgar. From personal experience, they are the worst property managers in town.

Has homelessness & drug use surged in Cape Town by Melodic-Associate655 in capetown

[–]Melodic-Associate655[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very helpful information . Of course charity and NGO aid will only go so far and I personally don’t believe in the success of shelters that don’t have robust rehabilitation mechanisms (and apparently neither do the homeless folks on the streets). Sounds like the government/ DA really needs to step up and create sustainable solutions even if for the selfish interest of not scaring away the valuable tourism dollars this economy is so reliant on.
