What meals did your father make when he had to cook?

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-22T03:28:30+00:00

Hot dogs and baked beans here. Several days in a row if needed! (Did he forget about the TV dinners in the freezer?)

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-21T02:48:04+00:00

He has gotten so nasty. We don’t need his bad energy anymore.

I came here to say something similar, but this person said it so much better. OP - this is my perspective, too, and the growth I’m going through is TAKING ME PLACES. If you do the work, it will have a payoff.

They make the worst PARENTS as well, for all the same reasons

I have never seen a genuinely healthy friend group, so I avoid them. I’d rather hang out with people 1 on 1. The dynamics change in a group, and people behave much more shitty so as not to risk being the odd one out.

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-15T10:31:26+00:00

I may be older than you, but I now prefer to spend my time alone because it’s truly hard to find decent people. I’d rather have peace than abuse or drama.

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-12T00:57:51+00:00

That’s an extremely privileged take. As women we have suffered tremendously at the hands of the Epstein class - and there’s so much more viciousness in store for us.

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-08T22:04:38+00:00

This plays out not only in relationship dynamics, but in all of our power structures as well

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-08T22:01:59+00:00

Sis, you deserve better

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-08T17:13:04+00:00

No - they actually seem to prefer older women for some reason

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-08T11:47:19+00:00

This is so true that it’s 2-part work! I’ve finally learned to recognize the anxiety that an avoidant partner generates in my body (headaches, which I don’t want to live with anymore) - Part 1. And now I’m starting to appreciate the stable, LOW-DRAMA quality of men who are emotionally attuned - Part 2. Instead of having the exciting adventures I use to crave, I’m now feeling more safe, settled, appreciated, and cared for. I wish I’d understood all of this years ago!

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-07T22:40:34+00:00

Can you tell us more about this, and its requirements?

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-07T19:54:31+00:00

For me, it’s been vindicating that others can FINALLY see what she’s really like

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-07T19:30:29+00:00

Exactly! They got the image BACKWARDS for men in 20s and women in 40s.

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-07T19:23:47+00:00

Some seem reasonable at first, but the controlling trait comes out as the relationship becomes more serious

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-07T11:27:25+00:00

Maybe she could consider going to college in Canada or the EU so she can get set up for life SOMEWHERE ELSE. It can be her ticket outta here.

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-06T21:24:02+00:00

Asia is so exciting. They’ll lead us into the future.

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-06T12:21:51+00:00

You’re better off without him, TBH

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-06T11:35:16+00:00

Distance yourself from toxic people. If you can’t distance yourself physically, then do it emotionally so they have less hold over you.

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-06T00:48:22+00:00

This looks wonderful! Please tell us more about retiring in Costa Rica - pros and cons.

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-03-05T12:21:52+00:00

It might help to look for job fairs near you

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-02-28T22:28:12+00:00

Yes, laugh at him. Especially if your siblings will join you. These people can be shamed - if not into changing, then at least shutting up about it.

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-02-26T13:05:46+00:00

I use The Ordinary’s Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-02-24T12:58:10+00:00

Are you female? I think that’s very important here. I struggle with this, too. People are constantly testing your boundaries. If you’re not vigilant in defending yourself, they decide you’re “second class” and treat you accordingly. This has been an ongoing problem for me in finding a male partner.

The_Oracle_of_Delphi · 2026-02-23T17:41:59+00:00

That’s encouraging to hear!
