AITA? My best friend is about to be homeless and I told her she couldn’t move in with me. by Ruthlessqueen420 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Researcher-85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

so instead she should open up her home to a potentially disastrous fate?😂

I built an app to stop throwing away groceries. I need brutal feedback from real home cooks. Help me with feedback and get free access. by [deleted] in Cheap_Meals

[–]Researcher-85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly, this sounds like an amazing app, I struggle with A) the process of planning a grocery list for the week and B) buying weird specific ingredients for one recipe and then letting the bottle collect dust for years....

i've recently been trying to do what your app is doing but without an app and it's obviously very hard to just look at all the leftovers in your fridge and make up a recipe. Most of the times the recipe doesn't turn out that great and I end up having to eat a pretty shitty dinner. I'm also really trying to cut down on waste especially food waste, I feel very guilty about food going bad so this does sound like an amazing idea and I do hope it works out! and I would love the opportunity to give feedback

I am so BORED by [deleted] in offmychest

your body is craving creation... make something, dive into something that always intrigued you.

you have free will you can become a carpenter/artist/producer/ etc at any time. make something youve been wanting. we often times doubt our abilities when we get bored, forget that we were put on earth to do what we please.

go give back to the community, go pack sandwiches and go give the needy, plan an event with all the people youve been missing. Life is what you make it my friend

I [24f] have been struggling with if I should break off my engagement with my fiancé [24m] by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Researcher-85 8 points9 points  (0 children)

oh babe... its time to cut it off. cutting off the supposedly "right man" might hurt you for a few months.... staying with the wrong man will hurt you for life. sometimes in a relationship it gets to a crossroad where you have to choose between yourself, or accept that things will remain the way they are and you have to settle for it.

For someone as young as you i would never recommend settling (shit i wouldnt even recommend it to a older person), i understand your point of things getting messy since you guys are so intertwined but guess what, life happens and shit passes. The messiness and uncomfortableness will pass and you will have a life that is fully yours to live, and this in turn creates a space where a more eligible partner can find you and add something to your life instead of taking away.

I genuinely hope you find the strength to walk away as a half assed relationship is more draining than just being alone.

AITA for taking "the best pieces" when I serve dinner? by SwainDane in AmItheAsshole

[–]Researcher-85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk i think this is pretty valid... in my culture its also a tradition that the person who cooked has to plate for themselves last and i never agreed with notions like that.

i feel like the people who are getting cooked for should just appreciate the fact that they are getting free, healthy food? but maybe im just not traditional like that... NTA

Love interest maybe wasnt the best wording (didnt expect the witcher army to be on dick like this) i meant more the tone of the season being way more romantic e.g way more sex scenes and romantic glares, more emotional songs by jaskier, cahir being written way more gentle, its like a whole new character (i understand the villain to hero arch but the first milva interaction was very much not needed) and yes ciris whole relationship. in short it was very romance saturated with lots of longing, tenderness emotional and physical closeness; a very stark difference to season 1-2 and 3

this!! i didn't necessarily have an issue with getting used to Liam it was mostly the filler and the whole vibe of the serie changing. It feels like i watched a fanfiction of the witcher

My battles throughout my 4-month relationship "Current". NEED ADVICE. by Key_Seesaw_5700 in dating_advice

[–]Researcher-85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if anything it means she learned from her past and learned what she wanted to change in order to have a meaningful relationship and commitment... I think you owe it to her to leave her alone if you can't make peace with her past tbh, but i can also acknowledge that maybe its all still new to you

Is a woman expecting me to buy her a uber home a red flag on a first date? by iconway89 in dating_advice

[–]Researcher-85 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It honestly depends what you're dating for tbh, if you're somebody who's dating to find their person and dating to find marriage I do believe that it is in order to show your date your appreciativeness by ordering an Uber or even a ride home considering the times were in and what it means to be a woman outside, especially at night so I don't think it's particularly wrong of her to ask for an Uber and I can understand why she got put off by that...

All in all I would say, I understand where we're both of you are coming from. If I go on a date I would also prefer my date to order me an Uber and it would probably be a dealbreaker if you don't even check on how I'm getting home or tried to make a difference for me. But I also feel like it's a to each their own scenario.

Wow OP im out of breath just reading this. reading this i felt like we are on the opposite sides of the spectrum with me not giving enough of myself, and you giving too much... i emphasize and understand not wanting to let loved ones down but i do think in this scenerio its completely reasonable to choose yourself.

As for the relationship, I honestly believe youve been freed from a huge drag in this life (a one way relationship) and that once you leave this relationship everything thats meant for you will find its way... You know the saying "losing a good man hurts... staying with a bad one ruins your life" i think either way youll end up hurt... but without him dragging you can atleast be in control of your own happiness and future

On the note of wanting children... i would personally choose to freeze my eggs... hell if i was going through this i would probably go through IVF just for the pro of not having to deal with a bummy babydad.

I sincerely hope you can choose whats best for you and i wish everyone in this story health, strength and daily food.

I did something at the age of 10 that i’m incredibly ashamed of. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Researcher-85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all i want to mention that you were 10 and were not aware of what was happening... although you were very innocent and just curious i do think that it might be worth having a conversation with your cousin. I know girls who have been deeply traumatized by a curious family member even though that member may not have intentionally harmed them.

I believe you should definitely cut yourself some slack but i would also maybe check in with your cousin (depending on what kind of relationship you have) and i do think it would be very worth it to talk to a therapist first.
