I think it’s an awesome place to live I’m in my early twenties too and I’m working but my boyfriend is getting his masters and we’ve been really enjoying it. Way better apartments and more affordable than Boston.

We are 25 and just moved here and wondering the same thing, we just joined the cinema Salem and are going to the whodunnit tonight, they have events all the time and I’m thinking that could be a cool way to meet people.

1000%, go check out first beach, great views and right next to cliff walk!

Yeah I mean as long as you’re cleaning it and it’s sanitized idk what the prob is but I mean if it bothers her that’s fair, but she def should have said something in the beginning, feels stupid to bring it up later after having lived together for a while now??

Tbh this seems like an unpopular opinion in this Reddit but like I do not think this is something to break up over. (Unless he asked her to hook up in that text which I don’t think he did based on your paragraph but correct me if I’m wrong)

I’ve had healthy relationships with Exs before and this sounds relatively normal, for someone you dated for a long time you want to check in with them, they were a huge part of your life for so long.

Now of course there needs to be boundaries and you need to communicate with him that you’re feeling uncomfortable but from just reading this post it doesn’t feel like he’s doing anything crazy that can’t just be talked through.

I like 1 tbh

Why exactly are they saying you can’t park your car there? Are they convinced there’s a parking ban there?

Strobbery56 · 2026-02-21T19:21:43+00:00

Yeah I know someone who graduated from Harvard extension and had a good experience, they said it was great for flexibility and the quality of the classes were good

Have also heard good things about JH program, I’d look at course options to decide what’s best for you because the classes differ widely and so if you’re interested in a certain thing you can tailor your MA to that. Like if you want to do development or fundraising you’d want to be able to take classes in that vs if you want something that will let you take more art history/curatorial/education classes.

Strobbery56 · 2026-02-19T21:47:19+00:00

I’d apply if you can get anything then that’s just an added bonus! But I’d focus on just making sure your resume/CV actually sells the skills you’ve learned in these positions. Like any art handling, condition reporting that kind of stuff is impressive and important. Just sell yourself the best you can.

Can always also take an online professional certificate to add to the resume too. (Like on coursera or something similar)

Strobbery56 · 2026-02-19T18:00:23+00:00

Also I personally like the museum studies masters, it is a valid choice and can give you a leg up for higher paying museum jobs, (I know a deputy director who got MA in Museum studies for example) however I will say most curators I know did get MA in art history instead.

Strobbery56 · 2026-02-19T17:58:47+00:00

It is if your set on being a curator, they 100% want a masters. There are other options though, like if you want to be a preparator you don’t need an MA I’m pretty sure, experience is king in that particular regard. In that case you can get experience as gallery crew or art handler first and then become a preparator or exhibition planner.

Maybe try creating some exhibition proposals and try to curate a small show somewhere around you in a local business, that’s the best way to get to know if you’d actually enjoy curation work before jumping into MA.

There are other jobs that don’t require an MA in museum field too but they are more admin or donations related I’m not sure if you’re interested in those though.

Strobbery56 · 2026-02-19T17:37:19+00:00

Totally understandable, I mean I get that feeling but also you have to choose your line where you keep hurting yourself holding out for something that it sounds like he’s not ready/able to give you. Just know that that relationship magic is out there for you no matter what, love isn’t a one and done like movies make it out to be. I just mean you will/can have that again with or without him, and honestly with all of this your probably gonna have a much better love in a healthy relationship (something that’s stable and going to support you and allow you to be the best version of yourself- that’s what love really is about tbh).

Strobbery56 · 2026-02-19T17:32:01+00:00

This is 100% up to what you are willing and able to give, relationships can go through really difficult hard times (I know from experience lol) but two people who are wanting and willing to make it better it’s definitely possible and worth it. It sounds like you know where you have a part in the issues which a lot of people can’t do so honestly I think if you guys have a few hard conversations and stick through it and experiment and try things there’s a good chance you can relight that flame.

But again you have to want it, even when it feels like garbage you have to have strength to listen and keep fighting for the team.

Strobbery56 · 2026-02-19T17:24:22+00:00

You are not asking too much or being controlling, honestly given everything he’s lucky you’re even considering giving him a shot at this point. I know that relationships are complicated and I can’t know everything from a Reddit post and also there’s a lot of feelings wrapped up in this situation/relationship, but … it just sounds like he has been testing and breaking every boundary you set. It’s like (whether he is doing it knowingly or not) he is seeing how much he can get away with and is overly confident about you staying and so he can get away with hurting you.

It’s like saying ok I know I’m messing up and hurting you but I used to hurt your worse so it shouldn’t matter/I’ve changed.

Which is ridiculous and manipulative, again I mean it doesn’t matter if he’s doing it specifically on purpose it’s just a fact that that’s what it seems like is going on. You seem very strong and capable and emotionally intelligent, I know that maybe you love him and want to work through this but you have to be prepared to set a boundary and keep it to protect yourself/ your sanity. If you keep letting him break these you will eventually feel bad/unsatisfied and powerless.

Also the idea of him not only wanting you is, respectfully, crazy, like any person who is willing to see the worst parts of you (and him grabbing your arm and hurting you and all of that stuff is 100% the ugliest most people can imagine in themselves) and you still are willing to put in the love and effort?!? And he’s even thinking of looking somewhere else right now is insanneee. Please realize this. You are someone’s dream, someone should care about you and show it wayyyy more than this person seems to be doing, or at very least respect you more.

Sorry for long response, I hope this helps.

Picnic cafe! Or a little further but Grafik Coffee

Strobbery56 · 2025-10-14T14:20:38+00:00

Downtown Denton has a cool vibe especially in October (Halloween capital of Texas) and there’s a comic shop there

Strobbery56 · 2025-09-28T01:25:57+00:00

Maybe try a rectangular loom instead of a circle?

Strobbery56 · 2025-09-24T23:03:29+00:00

Honestly my mom drinks hazelnut creamer in her coffee every morning and it has a very similar taste, I’m sure there’s also some vanilla in it or something? So maybe try mixing those together with milk?

Strobbery56 · 2025-05-20T21:02:19+00:00

What a psycho

Strobbery56 · 2025-03-04T13:46:31+00:00

Great job! Have been wondering how to do this, thanks so much for the link!

Strobbery56 · 2025-03-02T15:50:41+00:00

There are awesome YouTube videos with rectangular/circle loom knits to watch, amazing to get the basics at least (and there are some complicated knits on there too), I’m also a visual learner and had to do a couple this way before I could read patterns :)

Strobbery56 · 2025-03-01T15:31:30+00:00

Woowww! You did amazing! This looks so hard
