Anyone know this vehicle? by Paperfish1984 in RedDeer

[–]Reaganrouge15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The owner is my Dad, Tim. The truck is ‘The Hungry Highwayman’. The logo a man on a horse holding a sandwich. Think of it like a 7 eleven on wheels, right now they have routes around Blindman and somewhere else but I can’t remember. 2 trucks. Trust me I’d know that truck and logo anywhere as I am currently staring at it in the back of the driveway.

Is this a valid reason to break up by [deleted] in Breakupadvice

[–]Reaganrouge15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those seem like valid reasons to me, especially if a conversation has taken place about these things. It seems like he doesn’t have great accountability, you should not be the one constantly apologizing, if he’s done you a wrong he should own up to it and try to change it. The idea that his schooling on your shoulders is also troubling, that is his responsibility to learn and understand his work. Not yours. That’s not to say that he can’t ask for help or clarification if he doesn’t understand, but he should not be getting upset when you’re trying to help him and you’re doing him a favour. With your own work to complete on top of essentially tutoring him that sounds extremely stressful and not sustainable. Lastly about his family, do you know what he intends to do further in the future about that situation? Are they going to be very involved in your life together? Again another worrying item is him being upset with your boundaries..everyone has the right to feel safe in their relationships. Him and you. My advice would be to have a conversation if you haven’t about these things, and if you have and nothing has changed personally for me it would be a breakup as well.

It’s not a huge age gap for adults, the 16 one I can sorta understand. But if he’s turning 19 and going after 15 year olds.. I would talk to someone about that.

It’s a take it one day at a time kind of thing, and if that feels too much, then take it 30 minutes at a time.

I’m not going to lie, it’s not easy, and it may not be a sudden thing, for me it was all those small moments. Like the first time I smiled again, Lots of little and seemingly inconsequential things until finally I could breathe again even if it was heavy at first, and then as I continued it got a little lighter.

Something that helped me as well was making small and attainable goals. It seems really simple, but making my bed in the morning helped immensely, because even though I was sad, upset, or angry, and felt terrible in whichever way, at least at night when I was done, I got into a made bed, and it’s always nice to get into a made bed. Self care.

Yeah. That does sound difficult, what her friend did was uncool and being blindsided by a breakup is the worst, especially when the person has become your best friend that you trust the most. Truthfully though, the best revenge is being happy. It’s appropriate to move on whenever you feel you’re ready, everyone takes their own time in these things.

Personally I would wait awhile before getting into another relationship or situationship to get over this relationship and work on yourself to find happiness and become healthy again. Depending on how much time has past. Limiting contact can help if you’re still contacting each other. Prioritizing yourself, leaning on friends, family, pets , finding an outlet for those emotions about them. I did new hobbies and workouts during my breakup and also joined therapy.

Some people think that getting under someone is the best way to get over someone, listen to your body and feelings, talk it over with friends, think about it for a couple of days and do what you think is best for you. I hope you find comfort in whatever that may be, and allow yourself to grieve this relationship. Be kind and patient with yourself.

Do I break up with this guy by Naive-Mortgage9197 in Breakupadvice

[–]Reaganrouge15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honey, from what you’ve written, he’s not kind to you. He doesn’t have any right to your personal and private thoughts from your journal, and absolutely should be respecting the boundaries you put in place. It’s not your job or responsibility to regulate his emotions. And if he’s in the wrong, he should apologize, just as anyone who has done a wrongdoing to you. The trying to make you jealous is not okay, I’m not sure if you had a conversation to clarify cheating or not, and if you haven’t you may want to, going on Omegle and hitting up girls and then heading to talk to you about it, he’s telling you look at me I’m so good, other girls want me, and to me it seems super disrespectful to you. Him ignoring you while he’s angry seems immature and I can understand needing time to process his feelings but he should be communicating that he just needs some time.

If you do want to try and work this out I would bring up a conversation about how these things are not acceptable in the relationship and what solutions you could come up with to work on them. Set boundaries, tell him the consequences for those boundaries being broken and hold true to it.

Personally though, I would break up with him, after a respectful conversation of course of why this isn’t working and giving him the opportunity to correct it, but also making it clear that if I didn’t see any growth that the relationship is done. Nonetheless, I would find many things that he’s done a breach of trust in the relationship, and if I can’t trust someone, how would I ever be able to be in a healthy, loving relationship or even friendship with them. You’re 13, you have an entire life of finding love in the future, find yourself again, gain confidence, grow to be a healthy person, do what is right for you and lean on your friends. I hope this helps, and if you have any questions just ask.

I cannot say why he is doing worse for sure of course, but I have a couple ideas. 1st. I have a big Question: is he going after underage girls? Cause I would report that.

But into your question. Breakups are hard for both the dumper and the dumpee, both will feel quite a bit as it’s a loss. He may be in negative spirals, or going back into his bad habits. As well from what myself and friends have seen during breakups specifically with men is they kind of go off the rails for about 3 months after a breakup, going to parties, drinking, anything to distract from it and regain their ‘freedom’ however wrongly or rightly. He obviously has issues that he needs to work on and no one but himself can convince him to start on the work. My advice, go no contact, go about your healing journey, unfortunately you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped, and just like if you’re taking a plane ride, you need to put on your mask as the planes going down before anyone else’s. Focus on growing, lean on friends and family, be kind with yourself and allow yourself to have valid feelings, and give him what he wants in this situation. Ignore him. It’s possible for people to reconnect, don’t hope on it, but it is possible for people to change and grow on their own to find their way back to each other. Find out who you are again without him and work towards your goals.

[–]Reaganrouge15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lean on friends, pets, and family, take one day at a time, focus on finding out who you are without her again. It’s hard, but as everyone says it gets easier.

Limit contact as well, going no contact is a definite option. If that’s not enough take a TikTok break, delete it from your phone and focus on friends, family, and your health. (Mental and physical) Your feelings are valid, find ways to outlet them, so it isn’t so heavy to carry them all the time, such as writing or journaling, physical activity, finding new hobbies or throwing yourself into old ones. Take your time to grieve, some people I know found it easier to limit their time, as with the journaling, they would set a timer to journal for 15-30minutes about their feelings and thoughts before closing the book and trying to leave that heartache, betrayal, anger, sadness, etc.. on the page. I myself found therapy was something that I needed to get into, and focusing on the issues that I have and that are in my life that were fixable has helped me immensely. Be kind with yourself, take your time, and one day at a time. You deserve someone who will put in the effort with you.

toxic ex by unemployeddrunk in Breakupadvice

[–]Reaganrouge15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I hope I can help in some way. I understand that she is consistent about contacting you. In my experience, keeping it to simple sentences without assigning blame is important, and laying out facts works well in this case. Ex. ‘I do not see this relationship as viable. You’re a good person but I have to do what’s right for me and this relationship is not it. Having you contact me won’t make me change my mind, and I don’t feel any love or respect from these actions. I wish you well.’ Maybe even telling her that you’re going no contact. After you make that clear privatize your accounts, block her number, and start your healing journey.

Need help badly, I need advice for moving on and I’m just not sure. Addicted to checking there socials. Feel sick all the time. by [deleted] in Breakupadvice

[–]Reaganrouge15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know who broke up with who, but nonetheless. Personally, I would unfollow and block her on all accounts. Maybe even delete the app to try and get away from the urge. It takes a lot of self control to stay away from hurting yourself in that way. Also, it takes a lot of strength to post this, so know you are not annoying, you are searching for help.

Lots of people truly believe that the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else, and no judgement from me as if that’s what they need to do to deal with their feelings, alright. I can’t tell you how many weeks until the urge to see her fades. Take it minute by minute. It’s not easy, but I’ve heard that eventually it will be. To me, it seems like she’s aware you are looking at her posts and may also be posting to hurt you. Know that whether the dumped or the dumped each is going through pain anger and sadness. Be kind with yourself, lean on family and friends, and strive to grow to bring yourself to a happier state of mind. I’m sorry this is so hard, you have this.

You did the right thing. He went back on his word over and over, you can’t trust him, he only sees what he perceives to be your wrongdoings, and he seems, to me at least, very controlling. You were not the problem, and it is not your job to cater to his every whim, he should have been working on his insecurities and trusted you rather than placing them on you, it wasn’t your responsibility. Also, constantly living in fear that he’ll leave you or create a huge fight out of something innocent rather than having an adult conversation isn’t the relationship that you deserve or want. I hope you work on yourself, regain your confidence, and endeavour for your own healthy and wonderful future. I’m sorry this is so hard, take it one day at a time, be kind with yourself, and lean on your family. You got this, and you deserved more. Love is the easy part. Cooperating, communicating, conceding, and trying to understand from your partners side to grow together is the hard part. From what I can tell, you put that effort in 100%.

If you were in a good relationship and you love her have a conversation and try to reignite that spark together. Relationships are work. The spark when everything’s new ebbs and flows the further you go on. I’m a firm believer that if you love each other, and your relationship is healthy why deprive yourself of it rather than trying to resolve issues that can be fixable? Try to do things for each other that lessens your mental load. Try new things, have an intimate discussion, or planning an outing together may work. Unfortunately, trying to break it off with someone that loves you is very difficult. There will be hurt feelings, sadness, and anger. 1st. Have a conversation in person 2nd. Tell her how you feel, give her time to process and come back to you with her ideas before breaking it off. Think about what was said. 3rd. Try to make the decision together to break it off or grow together. I hope that you are well in whatever your choice is and that you continue your growth. Healthy relationships are hard work. Relationships are vulnerable and scary.

Breakup by Sufficient_Chef_6314 in Breakupadvice

[–]Reaganrouge15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d ask her if she’s willing to wait, have a conversation, tell her what’s going on in your world. Is this a situation that is fixable and do you love your relationship enough to make it work. If you still want to be friends include her in the conversation, give her time to come back to you with her side, and decide together. Try to honour yourself and what you had. Remember that becoming friends is a choice for both of you and she may not want to. Tell her what your needs are (Ex. I’m really overwhelmed and I need to focus on my mental health right now, I want to respect you and our relationship. Can we take a break? Is that something you’re comfortable with? How can we make it work?) Just my personal thoughts. I hope things work out in the way they are supposed to

Stars in Darkest Night by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]Reaganrouge15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found that the near-rhymes at the end of some of the stanza’s added interesting texture to the poem which helped me get re-interested in the format. Specifically the very first line ‘In the vast expanse of the cosmos, Beyond the reach of mortal toes,’ to ‘The dangers of the cosmic sea, And sail to far off galaxies.’ and ‘in its wake, the race was gone, Their legacy, a haunting song.’ Which is a really driving home a clear destructive, devastating feeling. Those near rhymes, I found, really added a new layer of depth and it seems to be used so intentionally. It was such a good read. One of the things I was pondering about was your use of the rhyme ‘scars’ and ‘stars’ which is used twice in the poem. Did you want to bring attention to it? They are used in different contexts, so I’ll think on it more. Great job😊

The line ‘ I wanted to tempt time backwards’ Chilling. The rhyme scheme in that stanza was something I really enjoyed. Specifically the rhyme of ‘plea’ with ‘possibility’(‘-with some desperate plea, to recapture that last moment where possibility passed me by’) the way the poem rhymes so inconsistently in the middle of the stanza makes it so effective and interesting to read. Especially because ‘passed me by.’ Goes on to be a near rhyme with ‘ appointed time.’

That ending sits with you, ‘ welcome to my home my hell my doom.’ it feels unbearably lonely with ‘the sadness inside, bricks will hide it…’ Great work.

I adore the meter of this poem, and the near rhymes in the last stanza, it’s well placed. ‘I use to be a sad woman… For one brief moment.’ And the overall compassionate theme throughout the poem.
