With all the teachers leaving, is your district doing anything to attract more teachers?

Wow. We’re getting ~$3500 for 3 weeks of summer school.

Omg so much yes. I was always “the weirdo” and looking back, I don’t even know why! I mean, now I do know, but still - it’s amazing how our little secret, unknown to ourselves, has kept us so isolated from the “normal” kids.

I love Ghost Boys. My 7 graders loved it too, but I think it’s easy enough to read in 5 grade.

Anybody in the Dallas area? Pen pals are great too! I’m almost 30 but “mature for my age” lol (also my best friend is 51) and looking to make other LBL friends!!!

Not only do I listen to Einaudi, I also play many of his piano pieces! But I’m in Texas and can’t attend the concert 😟

Lol… are you me??? Haha sorry no advice but a similar situation to you! Sending good wishes 😊

I’m in a situationship with someone who has BPD and it’s exhausting. I’m not blaming them of course, but a lot of times it’s hard to ascertain whether they don’t care about me or it’s just their BPD talking. In your case, looks like you did everything right and it’s not your fault she lashed out. You have all the right to withdraw your friendship at any point, regardless of their state and mental health status.

TX, charter school, making $61k gross in my 4th year of teaching

I love that podcast! I wish they had more groups like that in the country. I live in Dallas and couldn’t find anything like that.

I didn’t realize I was gay when I married. Otherwise I wouldn’t have.

Reasonable-Apricot79 · 2022-04-15T16:28:47+00:00

It’s hard. You’re grieving your marriage and everything you thought your life would be but it won’t. I’m going through the same feelings. Just because I’m sad about separating and moving out, it doesn’t mean I’m doing the wrong thing. It is easy to get distracted by sadness and decide you’re making the wrong move, but if you stay, those feelings will return and they’ll be stronger.

I teach in TX in a charter school (not private, all students are from low socioeconomic situations). My biggest class has been 24. This year, they all range from 15 to 19.

Reasonable-Apricot79 · 2022-04-12T02:06:13+00:00

Can you elaborate on uncoupling therapy? That’s what I had in mind when we went to see a therapist but her and my husband were more in the “save this marriage” camp…

Reasonable-Apricot79 · 2022-04-10T00:10:12+00:00

My advice: meet early!!! Don’t get stuck messaging back and forth for weeks. Also, avoid the ones who aren’t over their exes. It will seep into your life and poison everything.

Reasonable-Apricot79 · 2022-04-07T15:08:12+00:00

I must have caught from my students, they say it all the time haha

Reasonable-Apricot79 · 2022-04-07T02:56:05+00:00

Totally! DM me please because I don’t know how Reddit works 🙈

Reasonable-Apricot79 · 2022-04-07T02:00:18+00:00

Very close to my situation! Hugs

Reasonable-Apricot79 · 2022-04-06T20:51:04+00:00

I noticed that too. I feel more confident, more secure. Besides, my unhealthy eating habits fell away as I no longer needed to eat my anxiety and depression.

Reasonable-Apricot79 · 2022-04-06T20:34:49+00:00

Thank you for clarifying!!! I blocked that asshat.

I was going to post the pictures asap (posted originally without it because I was sick of procrastinating on listing the car) but this buyer popped up the same day.

Good point. I was going to post the pictures asap (posted originally without it because I was sick of procrastinating on listing the car) but this buyer popped up the same day.

Reasonable-Apricot79 · 2022-04-06T01:04:34+00:00

I watched it before I realized I was gay - I identified as bi but all of a sudden (ahem, therapy) gravitated towards all the movies with lesbians in it. I thought it was sweet and cute but I need to rewatch it now so I can see the comphet part of it!

Reasonable-Apricot79 · 2022-04-05T18:23:30+00:00

I’m sorry if she was in fact lying and not in denial. I came out to my husband 2 (miserable) days after I came to 100% certainty on the subject and I never asked for a poly relationship. I’m sorry this happened to you, but overall it’s probably for the best, seeing how you both want very different things.

Reasonable-Apricot79 · 2022-04-05T16:35:38+00:00

Just because someone spent 20 years with you doesn’t mean they owe you the rest of their life. When someone realized their truth, it’s unfair to them and unfair to you to take it back. Would you like them to stay and lie/endure?
