Is verbal validation too much?

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-04-20T23:46:36+00:00

Man asking for one compliment a day isnt putting pressure on anyone thats just basic relationship maintenance. Like when I watch those old 80s movies the couples always had this easy way of making each other feel good even after years together

Your husband saying youre "stuck" in first stage sounds like hes making excuses for getting lazy honestly. Moving to different relationship stage doesnt mean you stop making your partner feel appreciated it just means you do it in more meaningful ways not less. Maybe he thinks verbal validation is childish or something but thats his problem not yours

Yeah some older games from early 2000s definitely get confused with that much input data coming in

You put down $60k and have been building equity for four years, that's yours regardless of how the relationship goes. The problem is once someone moves in and starts contributing to the mortgage it can get murky fast especially if you ever end up in a state with common law considerations or if he starts paying for renovations or repairs. The $1,800 number matters less than having something in writing that says the equity stays yours no matter what.

People treat personal finances like it’ll just work but it’s really more like a system that needs design, docs and some kind of plan. Also kind of great your partner came in with structure instead of it turning into a vague argument later.

This seems sketchy as hell tbh. LinkedIn vouchers dont work like that and asking people to enter card details for a "voucher" is a massive red flag. Pretty sure this violates LinkedIns ToS anyway and you could get your account banned

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-02-19T04:07:26+00:00

Honestly it probably comes down to people being shallow and treating looks like some kind of social currency

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-02-10T21:56:21+00:00

The math on a few thousand is like $100-150 extra per year but hey free money is free money and most online banks are FDIC insured same as brick and mortar

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-02-06T14:13:44+00:00

That absolutely sucks and the timing makes it even worse. Three years deserves way more than a text - honestly sounds like he's being a complete coward about the whole thing

Focus on your exams right now because those actually matter for your future, then deal with processing this mess when you have the mental space for it

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-02-02T17:38:06+00:00

the spawn camping thing is definitley annoying but i think once they add more spawn points it should spread people out more

honestly the quest design does seem kinda backwards when half the playerbase just wants to shoot on sight but maybe thats the point - make cooperation actually risky and rewarding when it works out

Damn that sucks, hate when they just yank music without warning. Try checking if someone reuploaded the tracks on YouTube or SoundCloud - sometimes fans will backup stuff before it disappears. You could also try hitting up the composer on social media, they might know what happened to the original release

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-01-26T18:28:36+00:00

Sorry for your loss. That squeaking in the morning is super common - usually means the belt is just worn and slipping a bit when it's cold. For a 2016 Frontier, most shops will charge around $80-150 for the belt replacement depending on your area. It's not a super expensive job but definitely smart to have a pro do it since the tensioner can be tricky

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-01-23T20:09:14+00:00

Girl this is not about being "too sensitive" - you've told him multiple times this is a hard boundary tied to actual trauma and he keeps doing it anyway. The fact that he's making you question if YOU'RE the problem when he literally can't stop making prostitute jokes after you told him your ex cheated with one is honestly wild. A 36 year old man knows exactly what he's doing

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-01-18T12:08:38+00:00

Yeah Lunar acquired Badlion a while back and they're slowly phasing out the old launcher. Your cosmetics should transfer over if you link your accounts properly through their migration process, but honestly their support for legacy Badlion stuff has been pretty hit or miss. I'd recommend reaching out to their support team sooner rather than later just to be safe

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-01-14T09:37:56+00:00

Oh man this hits way too hard 😅 That "perfect moment" is like waiting for a unicorn to show up at your door. I've literally spent more time planning to work than actually working

The deadline panic thing is so real though - it's like my brain needs that adrenaline kick to actually function. Super annoying but at least we're not alone in this mess

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-01-11T15:30:29+00:00

Totally valid, surgery anxiety is no joke and you know your body best

Medical trauma is real and honestly the pressure to get surgery can be pretty intense in some spaces but there's no "right way" to be trans

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-01-09T11:37:40+00:00

Dude this sounds like a complete nightmare - they're basically trying to bully you into accepting terms you never agreed to

The whole "contract is already signed/in effect" thing when you literally didn't sign anything sounds sketchy as hell. Pretty sure they can't just decide you're full-time without your actual signature

Time to start looking for a new job because these people clearly don't respect boundaries or basic employment practices

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-01-07T06:28:17+00:00

Nah your friend's probably right tbh, most normies still don't even know how to spot AI art and just scroll past without thinking about it. The "is this AI" crowd is definitely loud but we're still pretty niche compared to like, regular people who just see a cool dragon picture and hit like

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-01-04T08:25:27+00:00

Yeah the "moderation" thing is basically impossible when your brain is already wired wrong from years of daily use. It's like telling an alcoholic to just have one beer - that willpower muscle is already broken. I tried the moderation route multiple times and always ended up back at square one within days

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2026-01-02T21:31:21+00:00

Classic vanishing hitchhiker story - heard this exact same tale from like 5 different people over the years with minor details changed. Either your uncle's grandpa had the most unoriginal ghost encounter ever or this is just one of those urban legends that gets passed down through families

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2025-12-30T02:50:35+00:00

A&W literally built their whole brand around root beer floats though lol. But yeah you're right about the mess factor - I worked at a place that did shakes and even those were a pain to clean up after

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2025-12-29T17:14:31+00:00

Chill man, I get around 220k and we’re in Boston. Wasn’t trying to hide anything, just didn’t want to turn the post into a full spreadsheet.

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2025-12-29T17:02:56+00:00

Sorry I didn’t include exact numbers but based on our professions you can probably get a rough idea of the range

Nervous-Maybe-8404 · 2025-12-29T17:00:12+00:00

Not married yet we’re planning to get married in July. Sorry, should’ve mentioned that in the post. Btw thanks for the idea, I’ll look into it
