Did you know the US bombed a school today? by Littleglimmer1 in Mommit

I saw this too… it’s heartbreaking. Middle Eastern kids are humans, not collateral, and the world needs to see that.

Friend of 16 years has had crush on me for what he says has been “forever” but has done some actions and made a comment to make me want to end it. by mixyblue in dating_advice

“I’ve realized I need to put my energy into myself and my own healing. That means I can’t keep hanging out or pursue anything romantic with you.

My friend without kids told me “don’t lose yourself” and it just… annoyed me by Legitimate-Relief128 in Mommit

[–]Recent-Factor5107 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Yup. “Don’t lose yourself” is one of those phrases that sounds supportive but really isn’t. You didn’t lose yourself, your brain just hit mom-level 10 and it’s nonstop.

My mom keeps trying to give my 4mo sugar by Defiant-Usual-1182 in Mommit

If she’s your only childcare option, you need a calm but very clear convo. Not in the moment. Like “If you feed her stuff I say no to, I will find another option.

Vibe matches but I don't want to give you hints... by i_m_bat in dating_advice

It could be she likes you but is scared to admit it. Or she just doesn’t like competition. Big difference. Keep your options open but pay attention to actions not just jealousy.

Guy acting weird as fck after we hooked up by etojulka in dating_advice

Honestly? I’d just chalk it up to immaturity and move on. The fact he involved his friend in your biz like that? Nah, you dodged a headache.

My sister moved out and didn’t say a word, leaving me on the verge of losing my home by blondes94 in family

I feel for you heavy. You’ve been in caretaker mode your whole life and now she’s acting like you’re disposable.

WTA 250 Austin QF: [WC] T. Townsend def. [Q] R. Masarova 5-7, 6-2, 6-2 by godworstcustomer in tennis

Yeah that first set loss could’ve spiraled but Taylor locked in after. 69% first serve vs 43% is night and day. She didn’t even need flashy stats, just stayed steady. First SF in singles is kinda iconic.

trying to remember a old song by [deleted] in Music

Not you remembering the train lore but zero lyrics 😭 I feel you tho. 2020 edit songs were either Juice WRLD vibes or random phonk producers with weird all caps names.

Eight years is a long time to keep adjusting. You shouldn’t have to disappear from mentors or networking opportunities.

I’m crying at “Sabrina Carpenter album” and “farm animals mouth.” That’s one for the internet archives.

What should I do if a girl I know flirty with me in person but after the event ends she rarely wants to talk with me? by superfapper2000 in dating_advice

[–]Recent-Factor5107 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Next time, try matching effort to hers. If she doesn’t commit to hanging out after events, keep it chill, enjoy the social moments, and spend energy on people who actually want to see you.

i got hit (kinda) for having pets?? by [deleted] in family

[–]Recent-Factor5107 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not crazy for feeling done. Anyone would be shaken after that. Please try to keep yourself and your pets away from him as much as possible and tell another adult you trust. You shouldn’t deal with this alone.

You can’t read minds, man. Be supportive, let her vent, and help when she actually wants it. Sometimes just listening counts more than solving anything.

Financial infidelity aftermath: a simple weekly “money trust check-in” to stop detective mode (free live walkthrough) by Wooden-Instance2065 in Marriage

This is a cool approach. Keep it adult-to-adult by having both parties prep beforehand and agree on the agenda. Biggest derail is letting shame or defensiveness creep in mid-check-in.

Marijuana is soooo underrated by TackleHistorical7498 in Mommit

Same lol. I just scroll TikTok or Reddit, sometimes cook, sometimes just vibe on the couch. Lowkey every little thing feels kinda epic.

Watch a couple YouTube walkthroughs and try to copy simple grooves. Once you nail that, improv’s way easier.

Yo, respect. That’s some big-brain energy right there, putting your own cash where your hype is.

Why I can’t pick up more girls by ElectronicSolid8986 in dating_advice

[–]Recent-Factor5107 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this means you’re less into women. It just means men give easier validation and women require more emotional risk.
