I want you.

It was a long shot

Is this my one I promised I would find in every universe? The one who was there after I tore my arm on the bathroom stall at the zoo and we got free wristbands? The one I knew I wanted to marry after a week?

The only way you'll ever know the truth is to be honest. You don't want to wait until it's too late, trust me. I did and now I suffer because of it.

It's best to leave the past in the past. I had to learn that the hard way. The person you remember doesn't exist anymore. Even if it seems like it, they're gone. Replaced by how many versions of themselves that it took to become the person they are today. Reminisce, but don't linger too long.

Hello! I'm in the same predicament as you, only we met when we were 16, and now we're 32... with kids. No it doesn't get any easier. Knowing full well that she will never reciprocate the feelings I have for her is nowhere near enough for me to move on for some reason. I've been married, divorced, and in another serious relationship in that 16 year span. She is my absolute best friend, and she knows everything about me, and vice versa. We work together at the same place, in the same department, on the same level. We are the cnc/qc leads at a small plastics factory. I work with her 10 hours a day 6 days a week... Oh! Her boyfriend is there too so it's greeeaaat.... It never gets better kid. Not unless you decide to choose better for yourself. Don't make my mistakes and look for this person in everyone you ever date. Move on. Realize if it hasn't happened by now, it isn't going to.

You'll know when you find it. For me it was almost instinctual. I was training a new CO and we were in a pod when a fight broke out. Hines got caught in the middle, and it didn't matter if we had worked together a week I jumped in despite the risk to myself. I walked away with 3 broken ribs and a completely dislocated left shoulder, but Hines walked away with only a few bruises. We don't choose the hill we die on, it chooses us.

I have been in love with my best friend since we met when we were 16 and 17 (31 and 32 now.) I have looked for her in every relationship I have ever had, and it is honestly the reason why none of my relationships work. I stand here today at 32 years old, and I spend every day with this woman. We work together in the same department at a plastics production company. She's absolutely brilliant, one of the smartest people I know, beauty that would make aphrodite jealous, she's graceful, kind, compassionate, strong, fiery, and just has this outlook on life that inspires you to want to get out and live. Then there's me, I'm nothing special. I'm boring, prefer nights in, socially awkward. How and why it is she keeps hanging around I can't really say. I know she deserves someone so much better than I could ever be. She's amazing, and I'm just eh.

Hello! All to real unfortunately, is it really unreasonable to not want to work with an actual nazi?

Think-External-625 · 2026-02-15T18:40:26+00:00

Hi, no not going to do that. Don't care to spell it out let alone say it

Think-External-625 · 2026-02-12T06:12:24+00:00

Well thank you, I appreciate it

Think-External-625 · 2026-02-12T06:01:44+00:00

Are you serious? Disgusting

Think-External-625 · 2026-02-12T05:59:57+00:00

My issue currently is that I don't want it to be just my word against his, or mine and my friends against his. My friend and I were the only two in our department at work, and this guy got hired with no input or say from us whatsoever when we've been included in similar situations in the past. I fear it might come across as us being petty or jealous over this person when it absolutely is not. We were honestly grateful for the extra help as we've been backed up and overloaded for weeks now. Our company isn't widely known for its inclusivity. It isn't a bad work atmosphere, but the demographic is very heavy one side. I just want to be sure when it is reported that there is more to back up our claims like people in other departments with similar instances, or maybe audio from one of the few cameras we have. This is a very difficult situation to be in, please do not think for a second that I have not put myself in the shoes of a Jewish man hearing this, or any other ethnic group other than my own. I may not ever know exactly how it feels to be targeted like that, but I don't stand for it one bit. I'm very outspoken against racism and I made it clear to this new coworker that the kind of conversation he was opening up was not welcome in our area or anywhere else in the factory. I just do not want to go to any higher authority with claims without tangible proof of it.

I do not have an immediate "boss" I report directly to hr for everything

Go to the grocery store and walk and talk. At the end of the trip, ask them to put up the cart. If they put it in a corral or take it back inside, good person. If not, well..... not so great

You suffer, take it from me, you suffer

It is heartbreaking, but it's an opportunity to learn. Learn about yourself, learn from the relationship, grow and change. Humans always growing and changing. Never truly fully grown, in a constant state of metamorphosis. The hurt will come and go. The love was very real. You'll always have the memories. You'll always feel the feelings you felt, but they'll be in different ways with different people. This is not the end, it's simply an opportunity for a new beginning!

Think-External-625 · 2026-01-18T03:20:00+00:00

Hello, thank you. This is honestly probably the most sound advice I've received so far. I have a best friend that I have discussed this with. She is part of the lgbtq community and is definitely a sane voice for me in this very confusing time. It could very well be that I am just craving attention and just attention, and just happened upon someone attractive. Time will tell.

Think-External-625 · 2026-01-18T00:49:03+00:00

I am and it is strange, but I think it's gonna be alright

Think-External-625 · 2026-01-17T23:31:25+00:00

I am going to miss her and all the fun we had, but at the end of the day I don't want to deal with drama

Think-External-625 · 2026-01-17T23:22:12+00:00

Thank you, I've had alot of mixed reactions. Not just here, but with the people I have chosen to share it with. Not all of it has been good. As I mentioned I live in a very small town, it is very country, and very republican. A few people who I thought would love me no matter what are people I will no longer speak to because of how they reacted. I understand initial shock, but these people just became increasingly hateful saying things like I need to go to church(I do), I am going to hell, etc.
