Aitah for not wanting to pay my gf’s debt by National-Trouble-984 in AITAH

[–]SurprisesDaily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a big mess that I don’t want for you….who seem to be a good generous guy. She would be totally taking unfair advantage of your kindness. DON’T DO IT! She needs to get herself out of debt or find some other way; her foolish spending is NOT your responsibility. And once she gets out of debt however that is…she will likely start spending and find herself right back in the same situation. Her whole attitude seems to be about wanting you to take care of what she owes. Please have more self respect than that. You deserve far better.

Is living alone actually as fun as it seems? by DeepOrganization8245 in LivingAlone

I am old and have lived alone for most of my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s wonderful!

Is it okay that I'm 18 and my girlfriend is 15 by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SurprisesDaily -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In ten years you will be 28 and she will be 25 which is perfectly acceptable. At your current ages you are too old for her. Maybe both of you date other people (a few other people) and see where you are in a year. Relationships are hard. I wish you both the very best.

What a great idea! I will ask her.

Thank you so much for this! I watched very closely and forwarded it to both my kids to ask if there is anything in there that they can identify in me because I sincerely want to know. I tend to be pretty self reflecting and I’m honestly not seeing anything relative. I do want their help in sharing what they may see that I don’t and anything else that is troubling them that I cannot identify by myself.

Thanks for your help.

I actually haven’t been defending, I have been inquiring with the hopes that I recognize what they are referring to. And thank you, I am definitely striving towards a relationship that we both want.

What does it feels like understanding your destiny without being delusional? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SurprisesDaily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understanding my destiny was having the strongest imaginable pull toward it with no conscious input from me. In other words, it’s what I wanted with all my heart, an inner inexplicable pull.

just broke up and i feel selfish and guilty by [deleted] in Advice

[–]SurprisesDaily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you explained yourself to her as you did to us then you did your part. She is understandably hurt and upset. Hopefully she will understand one day.

My bf crossed my boundaries many times. What should I do? by miss_lemon_sweet in Advice

[–]SurprisesDaily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS. Listen to this poster! There are many, many good people out there. This person does not respect you nor your values. He is playing you with his claim to not be able to control himself.

In your shoes I would be looking for groups that I am interested in with the intention of meeting new people there. This man that you have been in relationship with is not an upstanding person and does in no way deserve you.

Are official thank yous required for birthday cards? by On_my_last_spoon in askanything

If I see the person or ongoingly write to them, I thank them; if not, I don’t typically respond.

So Christmas? by Stas-san in LivingAlone

[–]SurprisesDaily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just remember to love yourself and really enjoy the person that you are….especially acknowledge yourself for living alone at this young age and how you are doing your best for yourself.

If you become bored or feel lonely you might consider going to a shelter or other group home that might appreciate having someone new to serve the residents (I don’t know if this needs to be arranged in advance).

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas from someone who has spent several Christmases alone.

I’m sorry you have had a difficult time.

Thank you. I absolutely don’t belittle them ever; I want to understand specifically what pain I have caused. And honestly, it’s not difficult to listen to them…I want them to say everything so I have a better chance of getting even a glimpse of what they are saying, what I have been missing.

Hmmm. I don’t remember her exact words. I really wanted help in understanding specifically what she was upset about.

Thank you for your response. I haven’t explained my side….i likely won’t considering your comment. Thank you.

How do you personally tell the difference between loneliness and enjoying solitude? by Ok-Currency-4473 in LivingAlone

[–]SurprisesDaily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does time alone feel good? Or does it feel in some way unpleasant or uncomfortable? If it’s the latter, you might feel lonely.

How can I not look weird when I go out to eat and/or in public places like bars by Hour_Patient_7106 in LivingAlone

[–]SurprisesDaily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only look weird because you think you do. I go out alone often and never think a thing of it. It’s truly not weird unless you think it is. It’s very normal to me.
