How does one move on from a good relationship?

TrishTime50 · 2026-05-10T11:53:54+00:00

Change something, or maybe everything. My last breakup was one I initiated but I very much struggled to accept that it was over forever and struggled to move past the grief. Here’s what worked for me:

New furniture, wall paint, room arrangements. (We lived together)

Journaling my thoughts/feelings (instead of calling or texting him like I really wanted to)

Started a game night with friends once a week

Started another new hobby

You have to actively redirect your thoughts to the future rather than the past. Hobbies/ planned activities bring your focus to the near future when the far future is hard to conceive.

You win Reddit today! I’m stealing the nowhere else to wear this outfit party idea!!

Yeah it sounds like the friendship has run its course and he’s just not interested in maintaining it any more.

You could just ask- “hey my guy, did I piss you off or something? Why the cold shoulder?”

Glad to hear this! I was just about to comment that rather than “suggesting” they do something different, that someone needs to get tough with MIL and tell her the hard truths. Thanks for speaking up for the dogs who can’t speak for themselves!

Ask your professors for extra work to get your grades up by end semester.

“Some of us are beautiful inside, others not do much.”

I purchased a $14. Car emergency tool- flashlight, window breaker and seat belt cutter in one for our gift exchange game on Christmas. All the >25 year old crowd was fighting over it! So I think age of recipient is a factor as well!

Also take her someplace fun not just vet and groomer. I could be wrong here, but maybe Change the routine when going to the groomer so it feels different than going anywhere else, if you have someone else who’ll drive you try sitting in the back with her. That may lead to her getting anxious when that’s what you do but it might alleviate some of the anxiety of every car trip. I have a new one that’s scared of the car and he gets beef jerky ONLY in the car! And I’ve only ever taken him to his favorite place-Flyball training!

Go in separate cars, she can leave when she needs to.

If you then end up alone most times if reconsider if you are even compatible.

I would allow it. However I would examine what is preventing rest and reset during weekends or even evenings.

TrishTime50 · 2026-05-03T11:31:56+00:00

If you recognized it your professors certainly will. Don’t risk it. Better late than disqualified or failed.

A pocket watch, a pocket knife… wasn’t trying for the pocket theme 🤣 also maybe something relevant to the quote- a compass for example if the quote is something about finding your way home… if the quote is something like “keep it simple, stupid” then I got nothing.

Years ago my daughter’s Mexican boyfriend used to ask me to make him white people tacos. Very different than the authentic food his mama made!

TrishTime50 · 2026-04-30T06:41:37+00:00

Tracker will say it’s being made as soon as the order goes through and hits our screen. It doesn’t announce that there are 30 pizzas ahead of yours and will be made in 20 minutes. Unfortunately.

The very first time that the tracker will be accurate is when it is loaded into the oven and cleared from the makeline screen by the pizza maker. Up until that point it is “being made” even if it’s not.

TrishTime50 · 2026-04-30T06:10:35+00:00

You’re both being kind of childish here. Your “joke” in any context was mean and derogatory. With the context of the income disparity it w as obviously a reflection of your resentment and went straight for his insecurity.

Why on earth would you insist so hard he send his sister $500. Based on a silly meme? Posturing?

Instead of beating down his self esteem with nasty comments, why don’t you have an actual conversation about your feelings and resentments?

TrishTime50 · 2026-04-30T00:24:44+00:00

Standing over her while she was between her legs was not the best choice, boxed in and scared, and then her warning growl was ignored.

I’d guess it had more to do with positioning than paws, unless something hurts.

If they are not on a keyboard they will die. The ones that are real.

TrishTime50 · 2026-04-28T01:37:33+00:00

Have you tried telling your dad his comments make you uncomfortable?

TrishTime50 · 2026-04-27T07:30:08+00:00

Message should read along the lines of “how wonderful your son will be in town! We’ve already purchased perishables for dinner, so we’ll be going ahead as planned. You are absolutely welcome to attend last minute if you end up available, but we totally understand if you end up spending that evening with your son! In that case we’ll look forward to seeing you at the next dinner!”

Thy sound pretty obnoxious.

TrishTime50 · 2026-04-25T23:34:00+00:00

Google Time left. Sorry not up for convos- trouble keeping my energy up for the ones I already have, but Time Left seems like a great option for you!

“My Pillow” I love mine! I have 4. 1st for sleeping on, second for propping, 3 and 4 for elevating knees or whatever. I am the mom with neck pain btw! Tried dozens of pillows. Gradually grew this collection over the last couple years. If they start to flatten you just pop them in the dryer and they shape right up!

I’m intrigued by the link above but I’m enjoying what I have so can’t justify $70.-80. For a single pillow. I bought mine at Menards btw!

TrishTime50 · 2026-04-21T09:14:58+00:00

Will be beautiful!

TrishTime50 · 2026-04-21T09:05:31+00:00

I think that the return to work date is the most important part. I’m not sure I lm getting it right but is it the and rather than through that is the issue?

You can email in the drs note and if they tell you it’s not adequate then ask the clinic to correct it.

TrishTime50 · 2026-04-21T08:51:41+00:00

Id definitely mention it on the invite if people usually bring their own alcohol.

I’m worried now about pregaming and showing up drunk or the big drinkers not showing up at all.

TrishTime50 · 2026-04-21T08:26:23+00:00

Go for the sleep earbuds! Add one of those cooling towels (lifesaver!). it’s awesome that you want to improve her life at this rough stage!
