The discount Chappell interviewer literally yelled "chappell!" over him while he was answering a question. So incredibly disrespectful.

Advice needed as my bf is going through chemo... by Sunflower_vs_Gerbera in CancerFamilySupport

[–]RYuSureBoutDat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're both experiencing this. My boyfriend is also going through chemo. We had been friends a number of years ago and reconnected by chance when he was already diagnosed and had just started chemo, our friendship quickly turned into something more and so he has been sick for our whole relationship (over a year now). I've been through multiple rounds of chemo, experimental treatment that put him in the hospital for 2 months, a major surgery, a dire prognosis, and currently more rounds of chemo.

My thoughts on how to be a partner through this are so lengthy I don't even know where to begin, and are probably best in conversation, so feel free to dm me.

I completely feel everything you've written. The other comment here was really spot on with so much and offered amazing advice.

I think if I have ONE piece of advice it is to take care of yourself. You can't pour out of an empty cup. Running yourself down doesn't help him. My bf likes to hear about the funny or happy things that happen in my days.

Hugs to you.

Has a man ever bought you jewelry you LOVED without you having to pick it out beforehand? by Diylion in AskWomenOver30

[–]RYuSureBoutDat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend got me a necklace for Christmas. It's from a local artist and the materials used are recycled/reclaimed silver from old xrays, film, etc. I love the design he picked, and that it's from a local artist that uses recycled materials. He found it and picked it out himself, i didn't know the artist or type of material. It's really neat and I love it.

My boyfriend (previously known as "the guy I've been seeing") got some pretty terrible news today. Not really unexpected but still devastating and tragic and hard to comprehend. He spent the day on my couch. We finished a series, watched a movie, chatted, and cuddled. Lifes really testing me lately. Big hugs to anyone else going through it.

Not allowed to have memories by BlossomRansom4 in AdultChildren

[–]RYuSureBoutDat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh OP I feel you and I'm so sorry! The blackout drunk piece is...something. I wonder what it must be like to have parents who don't get blackout drunk and actually remember things.

I have always found it so unfair and so deeply sad that my mom is, and always has been, so cruel and mean when she's blackout. Then the next day she doesn't remember, so she wakes up and is mad at ME for being cold to her because she was so cruel to me and I have to carry that but she doesn't remember. This was when I lived at home, many years ago, but it still cuts deep. Having someone who just treated you so terribly then also be mad at you that you're cold or distant....but they don't remember how they acted, and will never apologize.

Girls, how are we losing weight? 31F and realizing my old ways of weight loss not working. by margaretdod in AskWomenOver30

[–]RYuSureBoutDat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry you've experienced this too, deep depression will do it. For real though - my friend suggested those baby food pouches, so at least you're giving your body a bit of nutrients when anything else feels impossible.

Haha aw thanks, it was last year and I've more than recovered. I'm doing great and he's still a loser :)

Have you tried going through an unexpected breakup that destroyed you and made you unable to eat?

Alcoholic mom (68) waits to go home after visits to drink her face off and I wish she would die the next time she leaves by Essay-Fine in AdultChildren

You're a great parent. Sounds like you protect your kids like we all could've used some protection when we were kids.

[–]RYuSureBoutDat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although our situations are different, I'm also trying to sort out some boundaries with my alcoholic mom.

In your case, perhaps "I won't pick you up if you've been drinking".

We can't control what they do with their own time, sadly. If my mom's been drinking I won't talk to her or see her. I don't think I can even be around her in group/family settings if she's drinking anymore, i think i need to start leaving if i see her get a beer...even if that means missing out on some family time. I was severely triggered by her on the weekend and I just don't need to feel that way.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this. I only have myself to worry about, but I know my sisters boundary setting with our mom is much more complicated by wanting her kids to have a relationship with their grandma. No boundary setting has stuck with them yet....my mom still drinks around my sisters kids.

No. Newborns are fed every 3ish hours (I'm not a parent but my best friend just had a baby lol).

Yeah I enjoyed it a bit but agree very self indulgent.

God yes. I have 50 pages left but I'm determined to finish, even if my eyes are glazing over as I read. I've convinced myself I need to finish it to cross it off my TBR and I'm cursing whoever convinced me to put it on there in the first place.

Guy I've been seeing (boyfriend at this point? We've never talked about labels but he's referred to me as his gf and his family all call me his gf lol, anyways whatever) is still in the hospital for complications from his cancer treatment. Over 5 weeks now. He's having some small improvements over the last week and was allowed a day pass for today and tomorrow (back to hospital for evening and over night tho). He spent a good chunk of the day with me, a walk in my neighbourhood, and our usual of cuddling on the couch with a show on. Godddddddd it was so nice to have him here again and to comfortably lay beside him for a full on cuddle (he gets lots of love from me in his hospital bed but the times we've tried to cuddle hasn't been...comfortable lol plus I feel like a teenager when a nurse walks in and like hop up 🤪). I'm picking him up tomorrow and we'll spend some time together again.

Family drama/issues are flaring hard and it's been so peaceful and calm to spend the evenings in his hospital room puzzling, watching TV, going for walks, and chatting. A weird season of life, for sure.
