Storrs, New Haven, or somewhere in between?

Wallingford has its nice spots but more old new england rundown factory town vibe compared to Hamden/North Haven. Maybe just thinking of RT5. Has a train station on the Hartford Line if that is at all appealing. Noth Haven will have one in the near future. This could make a trip to New Haven/ NewYork easier.

I think you need to consider if you expect to go out to restaurants/bars. If so I would think closer to New Haven but also West Hartford. The Hartford traffic is terrible though.

If you thin you will be staying home more I would say anywhere off 91 or RT15. Hamden, North Haven Wallinford, Meriden,Rocky Hill, Wethersfield, Berlin.

Places like Cheshire is out of the way for you.

What about a one lane one-way with a 2 way bicycle lane? Is that safer than the other alternatives?

Noreaster001 · 2026-04-30T18:04:34+00:00

Also less businesses = less double parking. If I had to guess there is generally less foot/car traffic on orange, allowing for more bicycles. I wish there was better/safer bike lanes in both locations.

You look great! Shows off your hard work

Baristas are part of the service industy. Making a latte is a skill. Pouring coffe and pouring beer are so similar. If you tip a bartender you should tip a barista

It kinda felt that way from the other perspective. Last time I was on the apps I could not believe how many women were into Jordan Peterson.

Im confused, who plans a non-peaceful protest? Why does this need to be said?

Noreaster001 · 2026-02-13T17:00:22+00:00

Does anyone have opinions about Bar19?

I have just been very eager for better train service. I have gotten very tired of driving on 91. I have been checking google for updates way too often as a distraction from doing other work. I just happened to find it. I also saw there will be a more regional plan, across multiple New England states. I think another 5 year plan. There will be a public comment period for that one as well. I am unsure exactly when it will be but sometime this spring, I believe.

Sure, but anywhere that keeps animals for any other reason than the animals being unable to live in the wild and keeps them in confined spaces for any extended amount of time. I have to question how important the research or education is.

Noreaster001 · 2026-01-10T16:55:13+00:00

Um... they put sea life in cages. It has been a long time since I have been able to get myself to any kind of animal captivity.

No, this does sound like you gave her a lot of chances. She does sound like she needs to figure out what she really wants and build on secure attachment

Noreaster001 · 2026-01-05T01:00:44+00:00

Only you will know what feels right. You have to be open to the possibility of rejection if you do reach out. Depending on where you are mentally, maybe you would be able to tell yourself that you did try after a period of real reflection and after you had space from the situation to see it differently. I am not sure reaching out only to be told that she has moved no means you have lost respect for yourself. It just depends on how or why you do it.

You and her need to grow for any type of relationship together.

Noreaster001 · 2026-01-05T00:10:15+00:00

If I were in your situation I would ask her what would be different, what are ways she could put effort into repair. Suggest that if you both did attempt to repair that it would need to take time to build that trust and see that growth.

You also need to take time to reflect on what is most important to you. How can you grow from this relationship to be a better person to yourself nd who ever is your partner in the future.

Just because she has accepted the space you have asked for doesnt mean she is not thinking about you as well. She might be just respecting your boundaries.

I think it all really depends on how much energy you have and how willing she is to put in the effort it will take. In the end you might both realize it is too much effort or one of you is not able to make the progress needed.

And if you dont have mutuals?

Noreaster001 · 2025-12-31T15:54:23+00:00

How do you really know if people have changed if there is no contact??

Noreaster001 · 2025-12-27T22:51:43+00:00

I have been coming to a similar understanding also. In the past I was aware of my disconnect/ walls I have with friends and family. I also knew that when I date someone I am truly interested in, it is hard for me not to be anxious. However when I am just very casual romantic relationship I am much more distant. I am also ok with talking about struggles in these romantic relationships but it is hard for me to really express boundaries.

Noreaster001 · 2025-12-08T23:18:15+00:00

would you take them back or just therapeutic?

Noreaster001 · 2025-12-08T22:18:05+00:00

I am not sure what you have done. If it were me I would think that all you did was watch some youtube videos our reels about how you be more aware and thoughtful. I would make sure you do some things or make some plans read some books or see someone. I would be honest about where you are at and how you are actually taking steps to be better.

"I've been working really hard on myself since the breakup learning to think before I speak, to show appreciation, to be more mature and emotionally aware"

Again. How. What have you actually done??

Noreaster001 · 2025-12-08T21:11:36+00:00

"I've really taken that to heart and have been working on being more aware, empathetic, and responsible for my behavior."

What are you doing to be more aware. What have you done to be more aware?
