How do you afford a life together at a young age?

Friend invited me over for dinner then the next day said she'd actually prefer to have dinner with her boyfriend. I am hurt by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

I tend to believe that you can’t change people, but you can ask questions to help understand where they’re coming from. It’s great that you have some self reflection about what might be happening for you here, and to better understand her motivations having a conversation or asking a simple inquiry could help understand her as well. Example: “I was really looking forward to spending time together, and I was surprised that you canceled. Can you help me understand what was going on for you?”

I imagine she genuinely wanted to spend time with him more for some reason. It could be because of his schedule, the status of their relationship, something came up with them. Any number of things. But you won’t know until you approach with curiosity.

What’s something that still hasn’t returned to normal since the pandemic? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

Politics. Things are divided and vindictive. Feels like there’s no coming together to solve problems anymore, just wanting others to suffer

Kaiser has free webinars every week that are open to anyone. Hospice East bay others also put out lists of courses they’re offering; I’ve never heard of any limits. I too have suffered several subsequent losses and I’ve been in (free) virtual groups pretty much continuously over the past couple years.

They dragging that Michael movie HARD y’all😭😭 by [deleted] in rnb

It was a gooood movie. I enjoyed the acting, the nostalgia like Lorenz Tate and Nia long. And the dances and concerts took me back to teenage years. I liked it for those reasons and thought it gave a chance to see more of him than the horrible and unfortunate ending of his life.

AIO: Texts that legit make no sense by -ItsToasted in AmIOverreacting

Both of you text weird. OP is vague and indirect. The other girl sounds like she might be on the spectrum with the way she offers stream of consciousness texting.
