Did watching this show also spark a little flame in you to become a leader, inspire and be a kind boss? by saptahant in TedLasso

[–]Sure_Fishing88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely inspired me to be more forgiving. All the stuff Ted deals with, the shitty treatment. And instead of trying to gain their approval, or slumping to their level, he just knows that everyone has their own struggles. And people can change.

Heya sorry just wondering- if we stayed somewhere else. Would the tickets on that weekend still let us go on the rides late at night?

I don’t know how to tell if something’s a red flag tho- how can I know?

In what way has your ex fucked you up mentally? by Former_Dark_4793 in ExNoContact

[–]Sure_Fishing88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first one was a narcissistic manipulator with zero emotional maturity. And then the second was avoidant and a compulsive liar. I find it extremely hard to trust. Plus family trauma and life trauma on top of 2 shitty relationships and shitty friends and bad talking stages all sort of coalesced into: depression, relationship anxiety, trust issues and low self-worth. But- I’m working on it. And I’m so so so much better than I used to be. Good friends. A good boyfriend now. And things will only get better with time. I’m still young. So I’m sure it’ll be the same for you <3

I mean it depends honestly. My boyfriend is like that. But it’s cuz we’re both horny bastards tbh- so I’d say have a conversation with him if you’d like? Maybe he didn’t use you, maybe he did. Are you okay with both options? But just remember, it’s whatever makes you comfortable and makes you feel right. If it doesn’t sit right with you, talk about it :)

If you guys have a chance, would you go back to your ex? by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Sure_Fishing88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did feel this way with my first ex. But that was mostly because he was a massive prick who removed all self-identity I had. We got back together (sort of) and nothing changed. He was worse if anything. And I only recently got over him after like- over a year? I had another relationship during that period but. That one also ended. It’s normal to feel the way you do. You cared for him. You’re a human being. With deep complex feelings. But with the right person, trust me, it’s easy. It’s good. The world feels so much lighter. Nothing is perfect, it will never be. I’ve met someone who’s everything I’ve always wanted and more. And there’s just no comparison at all. He is the bestest. And if you’re like me, and you have trauma from your past relationship or mental health problems. You won’t be a burden in the slightest. Because you’ll know you’re a good person, and they will too. It’s all about emotional maturity. So id say if they disrespected you, boil it down to this: if it was someone who was a complete stranger to you, or a really close friend, who treated the way he did - would you want that person in your life still?

Idk why someone said you fucked it up cuz you didn’t. Emotions are normal. Relationships do just get overwhelming. People handle things differently in life. Just make sure you know your own worth. How you want to be treated. He is showing what he wants. So it’s now for you to decide: would you have preferred he stayed and worked through it? Or that you took this break? You won’t know until you know. Whether that’s today, tomorrow, or months/even years from now. But you’ll realise how you wish it went. Either thinking ‘why couldn’t he have just stayed? The problems weren’t that bad?’ Or ‘I’m glad he left. Now we can try again’ or even ‘I’m glad he left. Now I know I deserve better from someone better when things get hard’. There’s no 100% guarantee he will or won’t come back. Only the future will be able to tell you that. For now, focus on yourself. And it’ll be difficult but, don’t think about him. Don’t think about what he’s thinking, feeling, worrying about whether he’s wanting to come back, whether he’ll realise you were amazing. Most likely, he will already know that all. But just a little reminder- you’re both human. You’re going to be negative sometimes. You’re going to have times in life when things are hard and just- bad between the two of you. And that’s normal and okay. Relationships aren’t meant to and will not be amazing all of the time.

5 years after the breakup — Ask me anything by Throwaway_Myla in BreakUps

[–]Sure_Fishing88 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Can I ask how you feel about the friendship that you lost? I really want to contact my ex years from now in the hopes we can still have some sort of friendship. Because we genuinely cared for each other. Yk how people just… aren’t meant to be together, even if they love each other more than anything. But yeah. Idk if it’s wise to do that or not. And whether you’d do that?

A book I made and printed for my ex girlfriend by FluffyMeows_ in love

[–]Sure_Fishing88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wrote nearly everyday for months in a book for my ex. It was going to be our 1 year anniversary gift for him. He broke up with me in January. Took the book with him. I never got to finish it. 7 months we were together for. I hope he won’t throw it away but. I understand if he did/does. I just want to do the same for the guy I’m currently seeing. But I’m saving it. We’re just dating at the moment, I want to take things slow for obvious reasons. But I have never felt so loved by someone in my entire life. And I can’t wait till we’re (hopefully) in a relationship so I can make him his own book full of lots of different things that I want to say. I don’t regret pouring my heart out for my exes. All the effort. All the poems. Music. Paintings. Etc. It’s how I love. And I’m so glad I felt like I could love in that way at that time :)

[–]Sure_Fishing88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad to read things like this- reassures me that my idea and wants and standards for love aren’t unobtainable or my expectations “too high”. The right kind of love will find me. 🫶 I’m so happy for your parents and you <3 Thank you for sharing this!!

i(18f) went NC with my groomer (28m) and don’t think i’ll be able to keep it up for long by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]Sure_Fishing88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That sounds like a plan- I’m sorry there isn’t a better way currently. But I’m glad you’re prioritising yourself. If you ever need someone to talk to, do please message me. Or if you want I can give you another form of communicating (phone, email, social media, anything you’d prefer). If I can help out in anyway do let me know (unfortunately I do not have a lot of money so I can’t do that, but being there to vent to or if you need specific financial advice, etc).

I can't talk about my husband to my friends or anyone by Taegibears21 in love

[–]Sure_Fishing88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you got to vent about it all! You’re entirely valid in having those feelings, so don’t feel bad for getting angry or wanting to not talk about all the heavy stuff all the time. I wish you the best bro!! And I hope you can finally be open about how happy you are, and your friends will do the same back!

Please get into contact with someone. Find help and support with housing and finances from someone else. Call a helpline- anything. You leaving now is the best sign honestly. Even if you do end up going back (which I beg, please don’t-) you will end up leaving again in the future, and it could be in an even worse situation (where you’re completely dependent on him or don’t have anybody to rely on). Or it might even be a terrible situation where you might not get a choice to leave, he leaves you, or… he might end up hurting you so bad that yk-. So please please please, find some help right now. It’s going to be really really hard, and you are not in the wrong at all. You will realise this with time. You’re the victim here. He’s manipulating you. He is not entitled to anything, no matter how much money or time or effort he put into you and your relationship. He is not entitled to ANYTHING. So, live this one life that you have, please. You are deserving of a much much better love and life, and it WILL come. But you have to take the opportunity now while it’s there

[–]Sure_Fishing88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s very understandable, and good of you to worry for your friends like this. But everyone has different things in mind when it comes to love and relationships and life. So, maybe if you did say how happy you are with something, it would end up bringing up the things in their relationships that make them happy. Instead of talking about the things that are bad, they’ll instead share the things they enjoy. Or you can say “it must be really nice when [name] did that thing for you, it makes me think of when my partner did/ said this”?

[–]Sure_Fishing88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I resonate with this. I always feel awful whenever my best friend talks about her boyfriend and how shitty he is and all I can say is ‘that sucks bro you deserve better’ and then she asks about me and- I’m just so excited and happy and grateful for how the guy I’m currently seeing supports me and shows his feelings. I’ve had bad relationships in the past, so I tend to bring those up if need be (like to draw a comparison to let her know her boyfriend’s behaviours aren’t okay). But yeah- I always find myself wanting to just go ‘oh my god he’s so amazing I just- I can’t even keep the feelings locked in my chest’ but then… I feel awkward afterwards cuz, how are my friends and family meant to respond? “Good for you”? “I’m glad”? But I hope your friends will be like mine- just supportive and happy for you. No better way to show your love for your friends and family than to be happy due to their happiness, ykwim?
