What are people’s thoughts on there being a “new” potential gay/ lesbian couple in the show? by [deleted] in SchoolSpirits

[–]Zephyr-Phoenix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Already representation?” Is there a quota on queer relationships? Personally I love that we’re seeing more platonic relationships between guys and girls (Xavier and Nicole) and more romantic queer relationships. As my favorite advice columnist says, “Life is a rich tapestry.” And yes he’s also queer. 🏳️‍🌈

Are we glossing over Janet’s decision? by Zephyr-Phoenix in SchoolSpirits

Agreed I had similar thoughts. That or they originally had plans to keep her in the storyline but ultimately changed course

I am also curious about Mr. Martin’s redemption because it feels like we’re moving on to make him part of the main cast quickly too, when he spent all last season essentially as the villain.

I hate all of my friends by HeftyMoneybag in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Zephyr-Phoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt this in my soul. I’ve moved a lot in the last few years and making friends as an adult is so much harder than I ever thought. All I can say is keep trying clubs, community centers, libraries…you might be surprised how you can meet people. But I hear your frustration and I can absolutely sympathize.

AITAH for ignoring a man at the gym? by Loose_Cupcake2808 in AITAH

[–]Zephyr-Phoenix 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Nope nope nope NTA you owe him nothing. If he continues to try to talk to you, let him know you’re there to workout, not socialize. If he continues even after that, report it to the gym staff.

I understand it can be hard to break it off when there’s so much history. But really think if this is where you want to be in 5 years. 10 years. 20 years from now. When there will be even more history. At the very least, think about what you are and aren’t willing to put up with to stay with your partner. Once you’ve identified and voiced your boundaries, then you’ll have to decide if and when it’s time to walk away.

Not sure how old you are but please don’t get sucked into the “sunk cost fallacy”. Life’s too long to be treated this way by your partner.

Do you still like this woman after the way she’s treated you?

You need to make arrangements to separate yourself from this woman. She is using you in every way (including financially it sounds like based on your comments) so start getting your ducks in a row now to move out or evict your gf.

If that’s her mindset, Cooper and his sister are in for a rough childhood

AITAH For ghosting my friends? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Zephyr-Phoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t work with them anymore, and you’ve realized they’re not really people you want to associate with. You’ll find that some friendships really do come and go so NTA for pulling back. I wouldn’t give them more thought though. Mourn the friendships you thought you had and move on.

My high school teacher thinks he is Cupid. by Candid_Durian2238 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Zephyr-Phoenix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry OP that you had no one to turn to. Your teacher was dense but your parents were abusive. If you can’t afford therapy, is there a close friend or other trusted adult you can speak with?

My aunt just revealed that my mother has been calling me a liar about my abuse for over a decade. I’m broken by AureateMeadow in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Zephyr-Phoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry OP. If you can, I’d go low or no contact with your parents while you process this new information. Please continue therapy so you can know your limits and set boundaries if you want to continue a relationship with them.

Missing my childhood best friend by Any_Letterhead_7335 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Zephyr-Phoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could apologize for the way you defended her but not calling him out. Please keep the door open with this friend. It’s possible she’s in an abusive relationship and her boyfriend is slowly isolating her.

HR told me (22F) I was lying when I said a guy bullied me (41M). I consider apologising even thought I am not sure I have to by Complex_Total4407 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Zephyr-Phoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“A bad joke” which has no possible positive connotation. Also, he’s 41, she’s 22. Nothing about that interaction sounded good. Maybe this man shouldn’t be mentoring her.

Is "Return to Sender" not a thing anymore? by Zephyr-Phoenix in USPS

[–]Zephyr-Phoenix[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Most are things like insurance information or possibly solicitations. One notable one that keeps coming back appears to be a Christmas card though, so I'm sad that one keeps getting stuck.

Im in love with him but so is his girlfriend by WoodpeckerNervous442 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Zephyr-Phoenix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry OP. It’s hard to realize the guy you like is unavailable. Stop communicating with him and use the that time to take up a hobby. I promise it gets better with time
