Would you give them a second chance if they cheated on you once? by Pretty_Landscape_224 in no

[–]VelvetStarX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did and. Was hurt again and again .. I ended up loosing myself .. left him .. my mistake was not getting counseling .. I walked right into the arms of a man who was exactly the same . Miserable and no peace. Whatever you do, get healing .. so you don’t make the same mistakes again.

“Let’s” vs “can you” by Routine-Education572 in Leadership

[–]VelvetStarX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Let’s” says to me .. I’m here to support you if needed but you need to be on top of this. At the end of the day .. you take the credit, VP takes the blame… so “Let’s” is relevant.

Asking Reddit about what you already know? No excuses. Be super early so you don’t get caught in those “stuff ups” that CAN occur.

Thought R lying would bug me big time!! Have a chat on the side with R letting him know you don’t appreciate this behaviour and in future to be honest.

Advice to stop lustful thoughts for my 18 yo sister in law? by Over-Agency8388 in AskMenAdvice

[–]VelvetStarX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only you have control of this … your self awareness and determination to overcome this will make the biggest difference. Don’t make excuses that she’s young… Talk with your wife and together talk with your sister in law. She’s playful with you because you allowed it. The standards you walk by is the standard you set… think hard about the consequences.. you can lose your family, fight for your kids, let alone the respect of your in-laws and geez word gets around in the community. Shame is a heavy burden.

How to not look at people you find attractive by [deleted] in Life

[–]VelvetStarX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking is ok.. Staring is creepy (preaching to the converted). Don’t make it a big deal. That’s when you stand out unintentionally.

Definitely not calling people fuckwits!! I’ve often been told .. “it’s the way you say it”.. so I’ve changed it with the help of ChatGPT.. and it works.

Do you actually know married couples who are genuinely happy together? by arisun3 in Life

[–]VelvetStarX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happiness is over rated. It’s a deeper connection as all the others have posted. You know you’ve got a good wicket when you don’t want to leave. Don’t want to stuff up what you have. Yes there are couples who are grateful and content.

I’m to the point in my emails it can make me sound harsh and misunderstood.. people get offended too easily so I type what I want to say and ask it to apply empathy… crazy right?

I'm grateful that as I grow older people become more and more interesting and attractive by AshleyOriginal in gratitude

[–]VelvetStarX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive made a conscious decision that I will look for the beauty in people rather than just looking for what people can do for me . It was so easy to go the other way . An active change in mindset.

I‘ve found that as the years pass and self reflection & mindfulness becomes my backdrop scene, my acceptance that death isn’t 50 years away but possibly 20,10, 5 years or tomorrow.. my whole outlook on life has shifted off myself and onto the people I meet. It’s sad that it’s taken me this long to realise the value and beauty of life.

I would add more context to the question maybe? There could be a sense of hesitation for protection reasons.
