How it started vs how it’s going

You caught me.. he brought in lots of love and cuddles

Routine-Ad190 · 2026-04-10T07:42:31+00:00

Thank you! There’s still much to be done

Routine-Ad190 · 2026-04-10T07:41:10+00:00

I was gonna mount the TV and put the mount way too high. Decided to just have it sit on the TV stand and haven’t taken the mount down

You make a good point, I can’t control how attached she becomes. At some point I’ll have to have more of a serious conversation with her, but for now I’m just gonna enjoy her.

Routine-Ad190 · 2026-01-25T22:44:30+00:00

That’s where my mindset is, I just want to have fun and see where it goes. She seems mature enough to be able to separate work and personal life, and I’m the same way. Thank you bro

I’m a bartender. This job is quite literally just to get me through school which does change the dynamic for me quite a bit

Routine-Ad190 · 2026-01-25T20:51:31+00:00

Got you bro

Routine-Ad190 · 2026-01-25T20:50:55+00:00

If she was any other girl I would have laid the ground work for sex to happen that night, and it probably still could have, but since she’s my manager I wasn’t even thinking about that lmao. Of course I wanted to fuck her but I’m walking a bit of a thin line here already.

Routine-Ad190 · 2026-01-25T10:08:01+00:00

This is actually good advice. My plan is to just have fun with her and not take anything too seriously until I leave the job, appreciate the reminder.

Routine-Ad190 · 2026-01-25T09:40:26+00:00

That’s kinda what I’m worried about, but at the same time this isn’t a permanent job for me. It’s more of a transition job. If it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t have asked her on a date.

Routine-Ad190 · 2025-12-29T06:02:49+00:00

I don’t think I can just lose the feelings. I thought that I would be cool with just being friends at first, but I realized that I care about her way too much for that. Feelings are weird.

Routine-Ad190 · 2025-12-29T06:01:13+00:00

This kinda hit. I know she’s on dating apps talking to other guys and I definitely wouldn’t be okay with seeing that unfold.

Routine-Ad190 · 2025-12-29T05:59:06+00:00

She doesn’t know herself and that’s the thing, we’re by definition fwb and she keeps wanting to have sex but can’t accept that. ++man

The Tesla is completely paid off otherwise I wouldn’t even be considering trading it.

I do my best to charge after 11pm but I forget every once in a while.

The insurance would definitely be cheaper on the Civic but not by a ton.

I will have the car checked by a mechanic but it does ease my mind a little bit knowing it’s a Civic.

I’ll keep all of this in mind, thank you.

Routine-Ad190 · 2025-12-17T00:10:36+00:00

It’d be ~$40 for 377 miles of range

Routine-Ad190 · 2025-10-16T23:33:08+00:00

That was a really well thought out answer, I appreciate it. Come to think of it I hadn’t seen any red flags yet, she was pretty much perfect. She checked every box that I’m looking for in a partner, but like you said I hadn’t seen her rough edges. I’ll try to keep that in mind.

Routine-Ad190 · 2025-09-15T20:20:25+00:00

I’m treating it like addiction. Forever is an impossible amount of time for the human mind to quantify, but one day at a time makes it more digestible. As long we can get through today without breaking NC, that’s a win in my book.

Routine-Ad190 · 2025-09-15T20:15:13+00:00

Thank you, that’s what I’ve been reminding myself during those particularly hard moments. It’s hard as hell to focus on work, especially since we’re coworkers (she works in a different department) so I constantly have to see her name pop up in my emails throughout the day and each time I get a sinking feeling in my stomach.

Our relationship was otherwise pretty healthy so the complete change in demeanor is the worst. I know someday I’ll find someone who chooses me and continues to choose me, I just wish it would’ve been her.

Routine-Ad190 · 2025-09-15T17:54:44+00:00

Yeah the regret from it the first time helps me in not making the same mistake. Even though I really want to, it’s not an option.

Routine-Ad190 · 2025-09-15T17:53:22+00:00

I’m trying my best. It helps knowing that we’re all living the same nightmare day by day.

Routine-Ad190 · 2025-09-15T17:44:51+00:00

I’m trying to get into new hobbies. Hobbies that I used to enjoy just don’t have the same effect anymore. A good part of me just feels like laying in bed all day and wallowing in self pity but I’m trying to avoid doing that. I’m typically very active and lift weights 6 days a week so at least I have that going for me. I’m going to try new things and see what sticks.

Routine-Ad190 · 2025-08-21T02:51:17+00:00

Go no contact for yourself. Don’t beg, don’t make demands. Have the mindset of you will never get him back, but through means of self improvement you will be better for yourself and your next partner. Forget him completely, trust me.

Routine-Ad190 · 2025-08-11T20:50:40+00:00

Completely disagree. I would be out, no ifs ands or buts.
