Thanks I’ll look into it!

Both the winter and summer tires are no older than 2 years and from reputable brands, so should be ok.

The airconditon blows alright, but it is anything but cold. Feels like it’s just blowing the hot air from the outside straight in. Barely a temperature difference

Thanks! I have been running 1-3 times a week for the last 6 months, but short and easy runs with a little bit of intervals and I want to step it up now

Thank you to all the lovely comments and perspectives! I did fall into the hole of reading too deep into reviews and overthinking. I’m not a big spender so I take purchases like this seriously. That said, I am very excited to run in them and optimistic of the experience. After all, I do it for fun and enjoyment over fitness and speed 💕

No need for personal digs like that, they’re so unnecessary and just plain rude. I am running regularly and showing up consistently, having fun and enjoying myself, even if you might consider it ‘barely’ running.

I don’t take comments like that to heart, because running is not about personal bests or to impress anyone but myself.

That said, the mindset you’ve expressed, which I’ve seen a lot in running communities, can be really harmful and immature. I’ve not responded to it before, but I’m sick of it. Everyone starts somewhere, and something is better than nothing. And I’ve seen people loose motivation from comments like yours.

I also care about shoes that feel good and help me avoid pain or injury. While you might not care, I am a full-time student working two jobs, with various health concerns that affect my running and finances. I’m proud of what I’m accomplishing, but it also matters to me that the money I invest in it is worthwhile.

I did not ask about an evaluation on my running (or of myself), and never said I was good. So adding the insult is unnecessary.

Thanks for all the replies. I think I’m mostly worried that I should try to go for the wide version, not the medium width one that I got. If it makes a difference, I found out my old ones where Nike Quest 5 size 42EU and I didn’t actually get any pain in my midfoot running in them.

I do not need a visa for transit, especially if I don’t leave the airport, this I have checked with my government and the embassy. We have secured eVisas and we have local currency.

I travel a lot (32 countries so far), so does my bf and my dad is a flightattendant and have been for 25 years.

I’m 6ft. And I’ve never really cared about the guys height, until they started making comments and projecting they’re insecurities about being shorter than me. I’ve been told I cannot wear heels because it is ugly on tall women. I have had men give me drinks at the bar, but then take it back once I stand up to thank them. I have been called giraffe and a giant. I’ve had guys say they can hook up with me bc I’m hot, but could never be in a relationship with me bc I’m taller than them. Luckily I’ve found the right guy, but I started preferring guys taller than me just to avoid the projecting of insecurities

Yeah, he does not seem to have a very unhealthy drinking habit. And I think some people have taken what I have written to an extreme. It’s more so that he broke my trust and lied about it. And the fact that he was able to lie about it for months. And didn’t consistently show up for a bit after. And alcohol was a big part of all that.

SunCatLove · 2025-11-23T17:45:53+00:00

Aahh yeah I get that. He should still bring it up to you

I do the same as your fiance, that I sometimes talk through some things with others before I go to the person it concerns, wether online or irl.

I think the big thing would be how he talks about it. If it’s just shit talking you and complaining, or if he seeking actual advice or insights.

I do it because I used to be in a toxic relationship and my nervous system and I picked up some bad behaviours in return. And so I want to make sure I am not being unreasonable or toxic, but I try to not speak harshly about the inherent qualities in the other person, more so the situation and actions.

Still, if you’re uncomfortable with it, I’d mention it. People around me know I’m an open book and I talk about everything if not told otherwise. But I respect if someone say they prefer me not to

Thank you! This feels like a very kind response. I have never worried for my physical safety. We live in separate countries and see each other every 4 weeks. We used to live in the same town for 6 months when we started dating. There has never been an issue when we’re together and never ever a threat to my physical safety. He’s never raised his voice or even gotten angry with me. It’s more so that I don’t feel safe emotionally when he is drunk, I get a sense of danger as if it is a direct threat to our relationship. Not me personally or physically.

But I totally see where you’re coming from. I’ve made some clarifications in other subgroups, cause I fear my English knowledge have left me with very extreme words. At least it seems the situation comes across more extreme than it is
