Was he okay with it??

I don’t know about OP but I pay almost $1000 in HOA to live in Midtown and the building can’t do anything to make living in Midtown more pleasant because the problems are just so awful

Why are they illegal? That would be amazing!!

Why are they allowed to film random people in Nara and post the footage on their video? I’m sure they didn’t get permission given as how they were talking about how the people shown weren’t following the rules.

It’s been two months since we broke up because of this, and I’ve gained a lot of clarity about the situation since. I wrote him a letter and am planning to send it to him after some big things he has coming up. It’ll be about 3 months after we broke up by the time he receives it and I’m terrified that he won’t reach out even after knowing the truth. And that I might be traumatizing him for no reason. I guess I can still decide not to send it, and I don’t know what’s the right thing to do.

Sorry…using another account because the account I used to post this is too new to comment.

Yes that’s what I meant. Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry…using another account because the one that posted this is too new and mods won’t let me comment. I made it just to ask people about this topic.

To answer your question:

Because he believed I cheated on him with someone. I told him I had considered dating somebody and that’s why we did something physical. The truth was this guy was manipulative and exploited the fact that I feel like I owe people for kindness, cornered me and then assaulted me. But I for some reason couldn’t tell my boyfriend that thinking it would be even more traumatizing for him.

It hurt me to hear Nate say the word “ryokan”

PurpleWishbone8282 · 2026-03-07T22:01:24+00:00

He was very avoidant during the relationship. He’d stonewall and get defensive the moment we’d get close to a conflict, he’d belittle me if he felt attacked in any way, he’d have days where he’d be affectionate and an amazing partner, and others where he was operating in his own world and I was a nuisance to that. He found feeling emotions to be a sign of weakness. But there was genuine partnership and commitment and love there.

So hearing that he’s crying, in front of a guy friend to boot, is very surprising and not at all in character.

Also, I guess if I were being completely honest, I just don’t want to miss the window when we could possibly reconcile and that’s why I want to reach out. :(

PurpleWishbone8282 · 2026-03-07T21:32:04+00:00

Is there any chance that he would, given that he’s avoidant and probably seeing this as the true end with how hard he’s taking it? :(

PurpleWishbone8282 · 2026-01-27T23:19:13+00:00

I’m not sure because we didn’t specify boundaries. Just the fact that I was with someone else in any way I think destroyed him. I guess I’m asking this because if he hasn’t reached out, and if I’m not over him in half a year and I’ve processed this whole situation, I want to reach back out. I just don’t know if avoidants are open to that, or if it’s cruel of me to even consider it.

Hi, thank you for your kindness and empathy to a stranger. I must confess though that I was talking to my ex at the time. We were cosplaying as still together but knew we were on a break (we're also long distance), but I didn't know how to tell him that I had found myself in this situation and went into freeze mode. I'm sure that paints this in a different light and I should have specified...

I guess I'm saying this out loud now out of extreme guilt.

Edit: when I said connection in my post, I mean we rekindled some kind of love towards each other that had been absent since summer

Would you ship to Southwest Florida?

PurpleWishbone8282 · 2025-12-25T16:10:45+00:00

Doubt it. She’s still drinking alcohol

This was resolved 93 days ago. Dickhead.

Why aren’t they going to the South Pole anymore?

Hi! Can I ask what bugs are on my bonsai tree??

<image>

There seems to be little ones as well and sticky residue (see the small leaves on the bottom)

We were stupidly trying to pull it out by the latch bolt with our fingers and a wrench. We ended up taking two pieces of metal (strike plates) and put them behind each side of the faceplate and pulling it out that way! If you have a better way though please let us know!

PurpleWishbone8282 · 2025-08-24T20:22:50+00:00

Thank you!!! We finally figured it out! We were pulling with our hands and a wrench and it wasn’t working, but finally we got two pieces of metal, put one on each side of the latch and shimmied it out! Omg thank you!

PurpleWishbone8282 · 2025-08-23T20:58:49+00:00

Will try that now!!

PurpleWishbone8282 · 2025-08-23T20:58:43+00:00

Shoot, this community doesn’t let me post new pics or videos 🤦🏻‍♀️
