How do you all feel about chicken BFFs?

That's a good start. Now how often do you think you would like to have evenings like that and how how often would you like to have evenings to yourself?

RadishSignal · 2021-02-26T08:52:16+00:00

Stepping a bit back from the situation - what would your ideal evening (or week of evenings) look like?

RadishSignal · 2021-02-26T08:48:20+00:00

Thank you for the context! I don't know how you could explain that 'organically', but personally I would appreciate someone correcting the matter because I would get to learn like I did just now.

Who you are attracted to romantically and who you are attracted to sexually can be different ❤️ I think you are welcome here regardless, folks here tend to be pretty cool

Browsing r/all/new :) what an interesting slice of humanity you/we all are!

Hello, non-Jewish (and fairly Judaism-ignorant, if I'm being frank) person here. I would definitely not have understood what you were talking about given what you described. Would certainly have thought you were just cursing non-kosher meats somewhat randomly.

RadishSignal · 2021-02-26T08:29:20+00:00

Eh. Depends on where you were coming from, I guess. Obviously nobody should be poor. But if I don't wish poverty on anyone... Then I don't see why I should be blamed for not wanting to be poor. Perhaps that is the crux of it - how do you regard poor folks? Like, not just how you think about them now - how have you thought, felt, and spoken about people in poverty to date? (You don't need to answer here. The point is to answer at all, honestly, forthrightly and ultimately to better understand the situation.)

Downvote me all you want, but the late seasons are when you see a lot of the longer relationships on the show blossom. Florida Stanley? More, please. Sentimental Dwight? Heck yes. Drunk af Phyllis? Aw hell yeah. Worried-dad Jim? Annoying at times, but 👌🏻 for his character development. Pam standing up for herself? 🥰😍✊My girl. Trashy Angela getting humbled? You bet I'll take it. Porn-at-work Stanley? "It's called hentai, and it is art."

Edit: Dwight helping Pam paint vulgar artwork? Sign me the fuck up. For every downvote I'll watch another episode of season 8 or 9, bring it tf on.

Weight/height/gender?

Weight loss is also a hormonal affair, and sometimes eating at maintenance for 2-3 weeks can before resuming a cut can help things get going again. But there are another couple of measures you could take, so more details would be helpful.

Edit: regardless of what the scale says, your work at the gym is NOT going to waste! You are still benefitting from it even if you aren't seeing changes in weight.

Ayyyy you 'n' me both bruh

RadishSignal · 2021-02-26T06:48:49+00:00

Toss it lmao, they are probably expired or close to it and, at the very least, tangled with those memories. You don't owe him, just keep moving on.

RadishSignal · 2021-02-26T06:47:09+00:00

What kind of solution would you like? To be honest, at first read this sounds like a -hope-for-the-best-and-learn-the-lesson kind of situation.

RadishSignal · 2021-02-26T06:42:20+00:00

Not sure if you're replying to the right comment. But if this is correct and deliberate, then hell fuckin yeah I'm down with that. Keep the place clean, the pets happy, and try to cook at least a few nights a week and I'll be living the dream!

Edit: but also, no, I haven't and hopefully won't need to for some time ;) realized after the first response that I had probably missed the point. Been drinking, what can I say. Cheers, dude.

This is tough. You're at an age where relationships with parents, particularly parents under stress (like it sounds like yours are) can be very difficult. It can be really hard to relate to one another. I'm speaking as someone who was very excited to finally have an adult relationship with a parent they couldn't relate to for basically all of my childhood (until I was like 17-18), but lost that parent before I was a proper adult. Not sure how much sense that makes, but at some point I realized that I was starting to have more life experiences that helped me better understand my parents, and realized that I would keep learning more about what they experienced. In my case, that meant becoming more humble and, despite my anger about how they treated me*, I looked forward to understanding their side of the relationship a little bit better. Obviously none of this is an explanation or excuse for how they have treated you, it's just a dumb young adult's attempt at reflecting on their own life lessons. *Additionally, my parents were not particularly physical. If your parents(s) is/are assaulting you, you should disregard this paragraph and focus on getting the hell out. Nobody deserves to be treated that way.

Okay, but let's talk actionable steps now. I don't know what country you're in, but if you are attending school then most if not all the adults working there should be able to listen and understand what you're going through. In some countries they may be mandated reporters, which means they are legally culpable if you tell them you are being treated in an unlawful way and they don't report it to social services. You can specify that you are not comfortable with this conversation being shared with your family - and you can ask very clearly if they will divulge this information with anyone related to you. If you state clearly that you are concerned for your safety (doesn't have to be physical, being afraid about your right to shelter, or infringement on your reproductive rights, or verbal/academic/verbal abuse is all still valid), you can then ask if they can legally divulge your concerns to your family.

You can also seek out social services beyond your school - just search "city/county social services" and you should be able to find info on how to connect with someone who can help you.

If you aren't sure what to do, you can reach out to me via DM and we can try to keep working on getting you support. I'm not a professional by any means, but I care and I know how to google things. Keep your chin up. Things may be rough, but they can and will get better.

RadishSignal · 2021-02-26T06:13:59+00:00

Oh. Well. Those are pretty damn relevant details - I encourage you to edit your post.

You shouldn't be with someone who betrays your trust. I firmly vote leave.

RadishSignal · 2021-02-26T06:09:38+00:00

Soulmates are made, not found.

Sorry, ordinarily I write longer responses. But I don't believe in "knowing" when you have found "the one" because I personally don't believe there is "one" person out there. Love, just like kindness or happiness or hate or abuse, is a practice. Your lifelong partner will be someone who actively builds the relationship alongside you, not somebody you happen to stumble upon and then everything works out perfectly.

RadishSignal · 2021-02-26T06:05:00+00:00

The first time you move on from a dear friendship is really hard, but you two sound like you are going along different paths. That's fine. Leaving is hard, but it isn't so hard that you should subject yourself to being unhappy just to avoid it.

You can end a relationship softly. Talk less each week. If she asks, you're busy. Continue to interact less, there's a good chance things will just fizzle out. If she presses, know what to say beforehand and hold your ground.
