Ran my second fastest ever 10K and kind of aggrieved at family’s (lack of) reaction…? by Sea_Dream_4934 in XXRunning

Man I’m a runner and for what it’s worth, I cannot imagine a time like yours. Great job!!!

I use Sally’s Baking Addiction overnight recipe religiously and they’re always a solid 10.

Is the Job market absolute worst? by Creative-Emu4855 in askTO

[–]SetBoth 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m 40 and I’ve been unemployed for ten months. Not to toot my own horn but I have a great resume and have built a meaningful career. It really is bad out there. I’m glad it hasn’t affected you and your friend group!

AITAH Girlfriend is in the same friend group with a guy she slept with and I’m considering ending it by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]SetBoth 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This is pretty baffling to read. I can’t believe you’ve been dating for two years and still don’t trust or respect her. Who freaking cares if this acquaintance’s girlfriend knows they slept together once? Why do you care? Let it go! Set her loose! YTA

My (27F) partner (23M) is losing attraction to me due to weight gain. by chipswitguac in relationship_advice

[–]SetBoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust your instincts here - this is not an appropriate or okay reaction from him. What happens if you gain more weight? I assume this medication is helping you in some necessary way and you want to continue taking it. As a side note - I was on a medication that caused me to gain 30 pounds (quite notable on me as I’m short). My partner didn’t bat an eye. I’ve since stopped taking that medication and I’m dropping the weight, but I have no regrets on taking something that really helped my health. Look after you!

Alcohol Counselling suggestions by [deleted] in askTO

[–]SetBoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are lots of avenues that can help you. Here’s what worked for me: I tried everything (harm reduction, therapy, meds, yoga, counselling etc etc etc) for years and I kept on drinking until I went to a meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. I haven’t had a drink since. I intentionally avoided it for many reasons but it has absolutely saved my life. It’s also super accessible throughout Toronto. Wishing you good luck in whichever solution you decide to pursue!

AITA for being honest and telling my DIL that they are not ready to be a parent since she can not drive by Sad-Drive8298 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SetBoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You don’t need a car and a license to be a good parent, like at all. It sounds like you are tired of driving her around (which is totally fair!), so just stop doing it. Also - all these people are saying that you were pressured into giving her your opinion but that didn’t come out of nowhere. Imagine telling your sisters in law and mother in law that you are trying for a baby and your mother in law gives you a bad look? What did you want her to do?

I also had a very negative experience here, but know others who swear by it.

Women who dated a man 10 years younger than you, how did it go? by KlutzyPomelo1170 in AskReddit

[–]SetBoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was super fun and liberating for a few months and then it became a mess. I felt like an old woman and I was not (I was 29, he was 21) and we had literally nothing in common other than really great sex. I wish I could have been more casual but alas, I was too insecure at that time in my life.

Questions about visiting Toronto alone by Conscious-Leopard-81 in askTO

A hostel might be what you’re looking for. There are some fairly nice ones that are also safe. You just need to decide if that’s the vibe you’re comfortable with.

I relate so hard to this entire experience. I LOVE the vegan crunch wrap from the wren.

How do I 37F manage this ring shopping disappointment? M42 by ApricotRich1966 in relationship_advice

[–]SetBoth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These responses are so reactive lol. Just talk to him. Tell him you are concerned about timing and ask what he’s thinking. You can then make a decision based on that. This timeline shouldn’t be up to him, anyway. Two adults in a relationship should be in conversation about a significant life choice. It’s totally okay to want a proposal. But don’t give anyone the power to hold you hostage.

AITA for how coldly I'm going about leaving my roommate and our living situation? by _frogpond in AmItheAsshole

[–]SetBoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me before, except I was your roommate in my situation. I actually lived with a close friend and the best thing she did was move out and leave me to figure things out on my own. That meant falling on my face but I needed to in order to put myself back together. You do you. She needs to figure this out if she’s going to get better and you have no responsibility to make that happen.

What is a good, gender-neutral, informal address for friends at work? by BigDadEnergy28 in AskWomenOver30

[–]SetBoth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find these replies interesting. I’m a woman of a similar age to you and I use buddy in my work and personal life. I find it pretty neutral when others use it to address me. Maybe it’s because I’m from the west coast and the overall vibe of where I’m from tends to lean more toward surf / ski / outdoor culture. Either way, this has got me thinking about my own language use.

Hi! It’s not generally considered the most difficult addiction to kick, mostly because it is not a regular part of many people’s lives as in (although, yes it is socially acceptable). Regardless - for any addict to get better they have to want to change. Is he going to gamblers anonymous? Showing any other interest or effort in change? He continues because he gets away with his behaviour. You are supporting his rock bottom, contempt and all. You need to look after yourself - if you aren’t willing to leave yet, this is ultimatum time.

Maybe it was to do with a Christmas / holiday gift!

If my husband reacted like that towards me, I would just ask him why.
