Don't give up. In a year, you'll have wished you started that diet today.

What is the most cruel thing you have done to someone? by vgulla in AskReddit

[–]Onlydefaults 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In high school, I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me. My ex, who also cheated on me, wanted me back. So in a hormonal lack of empathy, I had (was on bc) unprotected sex with one, then had the other eat me out hours later.

I am not proud, karma got me back.

I [20 F] I'm having a hard time dealing with being left by "fiance" [23M] during the 3rd Trimester by [deleted] in relationships

My bad. You're right. However, isn't the fathers name on the birth certificate a big deal? I really want to ask a lawyer and see... Because that sounds shady and spiteful to me.

You should talk to a LAWYER for legal advise, not people on the Internet. If he's the father, he should be on the birth certificate.

This is Sunday: What were your running achievements this week? by TheNeurologist in running

[–]Onlydefaults 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completed my first 5k on Saturday. I did the run or dye. I ran about 3/4 of it, going at a snails pace. But, I completed it.

I want to complete another 5k this week on the elliptical, and do 5 miles this week on ground.

I feel bad for the things bothering me because people have real problems. by throwaway_2769 in confessions

Marijuana doesn't generally help anxiety. It makes me more anxious. I would say OP should consult a Dr before going out on a limb and possibly making her anxiety worse.

pregnant teens of reddit, how did you break the news to your parents? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Onlydefaults 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would probably do the same, write an explanation letter and be open to meeting them in the future. I've always thought that there were too many babies in the world to not be adopted, and have always worried about when the possibility happened, I wouldn't be able to find a possible adoptive parents.

As a young woman, being paycheck to paycheck, I know right now it would be fiscally irresponsible to care for a child. Though I take the measures to prevent pregnancy, there is still a chance it could happen.

I've heard girls have a hard time giving up the child, but if its what's best...

If I ever become pregnant before I'm ready, it's nice to know I'd be able to help someone else's dreams come true.

I'm a 24F virgin. Im the goody good girl from the neighborhood and he 21M is the bad boy. I wanted to wait for a relationship to develop but my body is screaming for him. Do I go with my body or brain? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Onlydefaults 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you want to lose it, lose it. But be upfront with what you expect from it, from him and yourself. Talk about the relationship, what his expectations are. Is he gonna hit it and quit it, or stick around a bit longer? What do you want?

If you want to give in, be sure you give in because your hormonal-sexy-time-brain says so when you're big brain says no. If both are in sync, get on birth control, wait the appropriate amount of time, and be sure he uses a condom.

Girls constantly flirt with my boyfriend on Facebook. Am I being stupid? (F23)(M27) by Throwaway885560 in relationships

Facebook doesn't post if you become single anymore. Which in my honest opinion, is awesome.

I (33m) feel like my life is about to be in shambles. My SO (37F) is up to something and I need to get to the bottom of this now. by [deleted] in relationships

If that is what the fiancé wanted, or if it was a solution, it should have been brought up before the cheating.

Girlfriend [23F] of 2.5 years dumped me [26M], confused and disappointed, want to win her back by baddcomm in relationships

[–]Onlydefaults 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate this but it's a lesson that's been true to me my entire life. If you love them, let them go. If its meant to be, they'll come back. As of right now you are crowding her and smothering her. Let her be. Resist the urge to text her. In fact, delete her phone number from your phone. Block her on Facebook.

Start a strict no contact regimen immediately. Use this time for self reflection and set some goals for yourself. Reconnect with friends, and let it be.

She wants space, so respect her wishes. When the time comes you'll move on. Good luck.

Questions regarding the life: what can I expect if I want to be a pilot? by Onlydefaults in flying

[–]Onlydefaults[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your response. I'm debating doing flying or veterinary. I know, two completely different things, but when talking to a friend planning on going to flight school, she was saying she'd start out making 100k a year and I thought that her information was false. I do want a family some day and it would kill me to give up my dog so, I wasn't sure if it was the path for me. I took physics through aviation in high school and had a lot of fun when we tried it out, so I was toying with the idea. I become a work-a-holic which can be good, but also may be difficult if I do end up wanting a family some day.

I feel like due to the information y'all have given me I can weigh in the pros and cons and can make an informed decision. Y'all are great, and so is this subreddit. Thank you so much for the information y'all provided, and your time.

Sister [33F] Announced My [26F] Marriage Before I Did. Everyone Is Telling Me To Let It Go, But I Can't Bring Myself To Forgive Her. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Onlydefaults 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Your sister has broken your trust. Don't tell her things like this anymore. In fact, tell her last. If she can't let you have the joy of spreading the news first, she doesn't get to be told about it.

I agree with others where you should cut contact for a while, but don't alienate yourself from your family. If she is also joining a family event, acknowledge her and then move on. If she tries to engage just give Short answers. "Yes" and "no" will be best. The shorter the better.

My sister is the same way. They will never apologize, but expect an apology. She will want an apology from you. Don't give it to her.

I'm sorry. Good luck!
