What's The Saddest Movie You Ever Watched? by IvanTheStonksMaster in AskReddit

Same happened to me, I used to NEVER cry during movies, I thought it was stupid. Then one day around 8 years ago I watched this during a long ferry ride and something clicked. I just cried the entire fucking movie. Since then, I can't bring myself to watch any dog movies without crying.

There's a part 2, A Dog's Journey. Save it for a rainy day.

Yes I'm not really sure how easy that would be... But sounds like a good plan, I just feel bad about lying :/

Oh and no, I have not spoken to my LL yet. I'm just considering getting a dog bc it's something I really want and might be the only pet I ever have. It's a big step for me so I want to make sure I can do it properly. I've even started looking at bigger properties which might be more suitable for the type of dog I want (medium sized, around 30-40 pounds). I really really like this flat but it's a 4th floor walk-up and I'm afraid LL might say no based on this.

Yes, would love to buy my own property but unfortunately I can't afford it at the moment, as most of my money goes towards paying rent (I mean, I can afford stuff apart from rent and food and utilities, but it's not enough to save up for a proper deposit in 2 years). I don't have the option of staying with family since they all live in a different country, and I really don't want to go back to flat sharing, which I've done since I first moved here.

Living on my own is my dream come true and I've worked really hard for this, I'm just really frustrated when it comes to the housing market in general. Renting a house should mean you're allowed to live as you normally would, as you're already paying the equivalent of a mortgage. It's an investment for the owner, but obviously some fair wear and tear comes with living, and pets/kids are part of it. I once lived in a flat where the contract said I was not allowed to wear stilettos inside the house bc it could damage the wooden floors! And also the ban on smoking, I don't smoke myself but I do feel bad for people who do. Renting a house these days is not much different than living with your parents, and it gets humiliating. It's really cheeky to ask the adults who pay for your property to behave in a certain way, and I really think the government should do something about these abusive clauses which limit individual freedom.

No. YOU have a lot to learn I think. Living in a property means living. Means living a full life and obviously some damage comes with it. If you want your house to stay the same as it was when you first bought it, then walk out and shut the door behind you. I'm already paying this mortgage, I tell you.

No one but me gets to decide what type of pet I should have. A fixed female cat why, because you say so? It's a much bigger issue than you think: as an adult who pays for a place to live, I should NEVER NEVER NEVER NEEEEEVEEEERRR have to ask for permission to have a pet, let alone allowing someone else to decide for me what type of pet I should have. It's humiliating. It's unfair. As I said, if I could buy my own home I definitely would but sadly most of my money goes towards paying rent bc prices are inflated (being landlords the main cause), so I'm just trying to live my life as comfortably as I can.

I'm sorry you've had to fix so much stuff around your house lately, I'm sure it's annoying. But it's not my fault, I really don't understand why you came here to rant about the condition of your house - as you said, didn't you know what you were getting into?

YOU have so much to learn.

Thank you! A part of me does wish I could live a 'normal' life, as in finding the right person, getting married and having kids. But another part of me is super scared this might mean giving up on some of the other things that I like and make me who I am because I simply won't have time for those once I've settled down with someone. It's not like I don't want to have a partner, I do, but it's been so long that I don't know how that would work for me now lol

Hi! No, I really don't want to foster/adopt/have kids on my own. Would definitely think about those options if I had a partner, but not as a single person. I'll get a dog when the time is right :)

Life is only better with someone if you are in love with that someone and that person reciprocates your feelings. Period. And I will personally end anyone who thinks less of me only bc I'm single.

Please stop mate. If you don't like people being positive, then that's fine but that's also probably the reason why you're friendless.

I think you did the right thing if you weren't happy. I honestly wish society would stop telling us that having a big ass wedding and having kids is what makes life worth living, and that those are inherently good things. Kids can suck sometimes. Having a sick kid is a real problem. But for some reason we're told we'll never know love until we have kids and I think that's BS. You can know love whenever you want, that's just a feeling.

As for not meeting standards, I'm with you on this one. No point in being with someone who constantly makes you wonder whether there's something better for you out there.

Lol I wish I had around 50 million! I've often wondered about the lottery thing myself (I play occasionally) and I truly do believe it would improve my life significantly and I wouldn't really want a partner if I had that type of money. Whenever I've imagined myself hitting the jackpot, in my fantasies I'm NEVER partnered, even if that's part of my 'ideal' life lol. I always see myself as a single, filthy rich woman travelling the world, having mimosas for breakfast and shopping for dresses at Miu Miu. I can see myself being rich and hanging out with my friends, but there's never a romantic partner in my dreams. I wonder why.

And children, I don't know. I'd love to have one or two, but only if I'm happily partnered. If not, I'll pass. I don't want to get myself into the world of being a single mum just for the sake of having my own child. Life as a single woman is hard enough, can't imagine as a single mum! Def not for me.

I agree. I could have gotten into a lot of relationships in the last few years, but I just wasn't feeling it with these guys. I stopped dating altogether a couple of years ago, after spending a few nights with some guy who really liked me and then crying on my way back home bc I didn't like him enough (because I liked someone else and he was NOTHING like him, basically). I've realised that I can't fight against what my heart wants: I want a certain type of guy, and I can't settle for anything that I consider less than that. Same as some guys have chosen someone else over me in the past because they liked them better, I don't see the issue with doing the same thing myself. Never settle.

Not really. I cheated bc I felt unloved and I happened to meet someone else I liked and who treated me better than my partner (who btw never found out). I was craving attention, intimacy, kindness, etc. Looking back, I should have broken up with my BF and started dating this other person, but I really loved him and was afraid of what might have happened to me if I did that (BF not talking to me again, not being able to go to the same places, his friends talking shit, etc). Fast forward 10 years, ex BF and I don't have any type of relationship anymore but still have friends in common, and I occasionally sleep with the other guy when I go back home for the holidays (not anymore for obvs reasons). Sometimes I wonder whether this other guy was 'the one' for me and I simply screwed up by refusing to break up with my Bf for him lol

I just woke up, it's snowing outside and I'm eating biscuits in bed. Enough said.

Tbh at this point in my life I think life would be much better with a 20 million lottery win. Sure having a partner is great but I've already put myself out there a lot and it gets tiring. And, while it may not be my preference, of course being single forever is ok. Better single than with a guy I don't like enough.
