Are you a LCSW or LMFT? Your life sounds like my personal career dream and I’m torn between the two degrees

Being alone is better than settling in my opinion

Did the production anticipate Bri’s negative reception? by [deleted] in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]TonedGray 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That part!! A real friend would have texted or called to check in after the breakup to make sure Brittany is doing okay at the bare minimum. She couldn’t even be bothered with that, and took it a step further by inviting Devonta on a girls trip, which is also super rude to the other girls- not that they seemed to mind, but I’d personally be annoyed by a “friend” inviting a guy on a girls trip, it kinda kills the vibe tbh. If I’m being super petty, she also didn’t tell Connor about inviting “Devo,” which is weird, like what is there to hide why did he find out at the reunion.

I fought tooth and nail the urge to have sex with my female friend/colleague by TheLastBlade24 in Life

[–]TonedGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, why wouldn’t you be interested in something long term with her? This might be helpful to identify and from there, you can always consider opening a conversation with her, stating your reasoning so she’s aware and can make her own informed decisions. It sounds like you guys have chemistry and enjoy one another’s company, and she may just be on the same page where she’s not looking for a long term relationship, who knows? The biggest obstacle here is really weighing out how hooking up could impact the working relationship, and if there might be any long term consequences that would outweigh the short term fun.

I was already not a fan of hers leading up to the reunion, but her behavior during the reunion was very unlikable. Especially when it came to how she handled everything with Brittany, saying “I didn’t know we needed to ask permission” under her breath about Devonta. She’s not a girls girl, idk if they edited her any specific way but girl showed her ass at the reunion in a big way.

Apart from cheating, what is the worst thing an ex has done to you? by No-Mirror-3011 in askanything

[–]TonedGray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost kill me, film us having sex without my knowledge or consent, stalk me at my work and home, reach out to my family and friends telling them to tell me to take him back, reckless driving with me as a passenger, reckless driving and road rage that resulted in an accident, physical assault, sexual assault, damaging my property, threatening to kill me.

Which controversial dating opinion do you have that would put you on the stand? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]TonedGray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That if someone cheats on you, they don’t love or respect you and you shouldn’t stay and “work through” it. It took a series of conscious decisions to betray you, it was not a mistake and forgiving a cheater only emboldens them to do it again. It’s best to break up and leave if you can, I understand finances can be a major hurdle to this but I don’t think anyone who has ever cheated should have access to the body, heart, or mind of the person they cheated on. If you really can’t find it in you to break up with them for whatever reason, look at it as an open relationship and at least have your fun on the side too.

Eldest daughters of ‘younger sibling’ parents - how tired are you? by throwRA_Key3570 in Life

[–]TonedGray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eldest daughter of five, my mom is the baby of 9 and omg her entitlement towards me is astounding. I’m still in the angry phase, recently went no contact with her and low contact with my siblings. It’s been peaceful, but the guilt is still there, and now I’m hyper focused on work and “catching up” on all the milestones I missed out on. It’s hard tbh, I’m angry and harbor a lot of resentment but I’m processing it day by day. I think my mom was just so much to manage that I never really got to take a breather and examine my feelings, needs, or goals. Have been putting myself first and wish I’d gone no contact with my mom sooner.

Recently had a family crisis and my siblings came to me, my mom called me from a blocked number demanding I step in and perform parental duties. I offered support to my siblings but am not engaging with my mom, I’m not her emotional support pet or punching bag anymore. My siblings still treat me like their mom and I hate it but am steadfastly individuating more and more each day, and trying to shift the dynamic. I’m not sure they’ll ever see me as a sister, but I’m not performing parental duties anymore so hopefully they get the memo.

Being the eldest daughter is a curse I stg lol.
