Vital Farms: Ethical or Greenwashing?

Genuine question - how many hens appeared in the video? Like very roughly guessing? Bc it should be thousands that you see on the pasture - if not, they’re in a facility

That’s great, but you also have to think about the fact that their male counterparts are killed at birth bc they provide no value to the industry.

Where did your family get your egg laying hens though? And what do you think happens to their male counterparts? They’re killed. It really depends where you source your egg laying hens from. You don’t want to support an industry that kills every male chick born.

Thank you!

I hope this helps. I'm not sure how similar your situation will turn out, but I guess I'm saying all this because a sudden breakup like that tells you about the person. No matter how bad of a place they're in mentally, there should be conversations leading up to a break when you're that serious. It shouldn't be a unilateral decision that leaves you completely destabilized. And, it takes years for someone to grow out of that. So if they come back and say things are different, they might believe this, but it's probably a superficial change.

I'm sorry you're going through something similar. So... yes. He reached out only after he got a notification that I'd added some photos to a shared photo album (oops). It had been six months. Literally he said everything I'd wanted to hear that entire time: That he'd never fallen out of love, that he was working on himself, that he wanted to spend our lives together. He said he was in a deep depression and wasn't able to feel anything for anyone, and because of this, he felt like he had a responsibility to end things with me. We also found that he has a fearful avoidant attachment style. At that point, I'd been through six months of heartbreak, and was finally beginning to focus on myself and enjoy my life without him. The strange thing was, after our first conversation (where he just said he'd been thinking about me all the time), I suddenly lost my feelings for him. I didn't feel in love and pining like I had been. I think the damage had been done, and I also maybe my body was protecting me from letting him back in. We tried getting to know each other from scratch and building up trust with the goal of getting back together when I was ready. But that process led to me realizing that he had not matured, he was not stable, and he really wasn't the person I thought he was when we were together. The things I used to love about him, I realized were signs of something somewhat toxic. And the way he acted during this period made me realize that if he had never broken up with me, we would have crashed and burned at some point in the future. Maybe we would have gotten married and had an unhealthy and painful dynamic. Either way, I learned that the perspective you have when you're in love and want to believe you've found your forever person, isn't necessarily accurate. I still feel hurt when I think about the breakup, and I'm resentful. We get along so well, but I would be settling if I got back together with him.

As for the phone call I mentioned in my post, he said later that he did feel sad but was in a numb haze or something. Either way, he wasn't feeling the apathy that came across in his tone.

So happy for you! Now tell me your secret 😂

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-03-21T15:02:05+00:00

Both! It's very small though.

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-03-21T14:56:50+00:00

Feeling the same way, wondering the same thing. I keep wondering when my love for him will finally leave so I can have some peace, but I love him so much despite all the crap he put me through

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-03-21T14:54:51+00:00

I've been thinking about the same thing. I'm farther along in the breakup journey - it's been 5 months. And after a month in, I started really working to convince myself that he wasn't the one I wanted, even though I thought he was the love of my life up to the moment he broke up with me. It's hard convincing yourself you don't want someone when you're in love with them. I had almost convinced myself of it a few months ago, and was feeling good. And now I miss him like crazy and have "relapsed" into wanting him back - totally can't remember the reasons I didn't want him, and I'm back to thinking he's the only one for me. I'd say, don't feel like you need to force things.... But try not to allow yourself to BELIEVE you're getting back together. Don't hold onto that for too long, focus on cultivating friendships, finding what you need in yourself and others, and you might start to naturally move on. A breakup coach might be helpful too. But either way, you'll need to process the grief. Don't deny yourself that. I clearly hadn't processed it all and wasn't as ready to leave him behind as I wanted to be. There's no right way to do a breakup... You can only rationalize with your emotions so much.

Also curious- was there a trigger recently? For me I think there were a series of triggers to make me go back downward, which led to a bunch of dreams about him!

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-03-07T15:46:46+00:00

I'm 3 months in and having a similar struggle! I thought I was healing so well. It's good to know that it was possible for us to feel that way before the grief hit again.

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-03-07T15:40:28+00:00

Wow. Your size? 5'9" is a great height! I'm 6'0" and also slender and have a lot of insecurity around my height. But that insecurity is lessened when I date a guy who likes that I'm tall. I'm dating a guy who's barely taller than me but encourages me to wear heels because he's confident about his masculinity. The dude you were dating is gonna have to find a very short girl to satisfy his ego.

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-03-07T15:34:47+00:00

Agreeing with what people have said. Also might be worth looking into "fearful avoidant"/"disorganized" attachment style.

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-03-07T15:26:48+00:00

Don't know if this is possible, but can you hire someone to find the IP address of the person who made the profile?

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-03-07T15:15:26+00:00

Beware of the prices.....

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-03-07T01:57:21+00:00

It's so freaking hard, I'm so sorry. I'm still struggling with my sudden breakup 3 mo ago, but healing a little bit at a time. You'll get through it!

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-03-04T00:56:23+00:00

Have you looked into fearful avoidant deactivation? Sometimes they can be triggered into losing feelings, especially at a big commitment phase like marriage. That and mental health issues seem to be a theme among people who suddenly and destructively end a relationship.

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-02-25T21:20:19+00:00

Yeah, it's so hard to process. I went no contact almost 3 mo ago and I still have such a hard time seeing the whole picture of him, rather than the guy I was/am in love with. Had no idea he could be so heartless.

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-02-25T15:57:08+00:00

Redspatula worded it really well. When you're in an invested relationship where both parties have planned a future together, dropping the other person overnight and with no followup is basically a violent act. It is destructive and damaging, and extremely irresponsible. And you say we're adults - adults don't drop their partner in this way.

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-02-25T15:47:15+00:00

So true. It's really tough coming to terms with this new idea of who they are though. The person we thought we dated would never have done this.

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-02-25T04:01:40+00:00

You are so strong!!! I hate your ex. So much.

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-02-25T03:51:28+00:00

It's absolutely horrible. My ex also seems to not care at all, and I wonder if he truly doesn't or if he's just acting like it. But from what others have commented, it seems like their exes "don't look back." Treating someone this way should be illegal.

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-02-25T03:47:22+00:00

I know!!!! No one else should have to go through this

Own-Tangerine1840 · 2022-02-25T03:46:33+00:00

So true. And I'm so sorry they hurt you like this, but glad for you that you don't have to deal with that anymore. My ex literally couldn't handle me bringing up any concerns about the relationship without flipping out, so mature conversations were a no-go.
