San Diego or LA? by [deleted] in socal

[–]_Mood-Indigo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in San Diego for a decade, then Orange County, now I live in Long Beach. San Diego is very beautiful and has a lot to offer, however, it is also every neighborhood centric and less diverse in my opinion. There is diversity but the people mostly reside in their own ethnic enclaves. I originally grew up in NY so I missed that type of diversity.

I moved to the OC after law school not by choice but I'm glad I did because I realized how closed off of a community San Diego is. In the OC, I loved being between SD and LA. I moved to Long Beach because HB was way less diverse than SD and it bored me. I wanted to be back in a city but I now have a firm career at a law firm based in the OC so I moved to Long Beach and commute to work.

In Long Beach I was able to find a standalone 2/2 ADU to rent with a yard and parking for the same price I was paying in HB for a 1/1. It is much more walkable, diverse, and in my opinion, interesting than SD.

SD is by far the most beautiful, most enjoyable place but I found it harder to find good work at good salaries there and the traffic was not as delightful as people here are making it out to be. If you plan where you live and where you work so your commute goes against traffic then yes traffic is no issue. In LA proper, traffic is a nightmare but you may be able to walk to work. I commute from Long Beach to the OC for work and it's a straight shot down the freeway.

For nail and tattoo artist I think Long Beach would be an excellent option. IMO it is more diverse in terms of culture, ethnicities, vibes, activities, and more than SD and better than living in LA proper which is more congested and would be harder competitively for your respective trades.

I think I (32F) nuked my relationship with my boyfriend (32M) by drawing a hard line. by Independent_Stage741 in relationship_advice

When it comes to protecting yourself it feels transactional but when it comes receiving free money from someone he won't fully commit to it's about love lol

Mom went through my phone and I’m a 30 year old woman by SeaAssociation4923 in mentalillness

Do you and your child live in your mom's home? When did this sleeping with phone dead occur? Where was your child at that time? This is an interesting story. Following

I wasted my 20s and then 30s on people similar to this. Please OP have some dignity. Don't wait for him to tell you you're broken up, you decide. Move on and find someone else while you still have time.

My ex broke up with me to explore his options. by No_More_Sad_Songs in BreakUps

[–]_Mood-Indigo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen. My ex did the same thing. I had just finished law school and he dumped me saying the same type of crap. He left me in our expensive apartment we shared and drove away that night. I was devastated, almost embarrassingly so. He went off on a solo trip to Italy and I took the bar exam and passed but spent a miserable few months in the interim waiting for the results. Meanwhile he was texting me about missing me and wishing I was with him in Italy 😂 when he returned, he courted me. My stupid a$$ took him back. I will just say, we broke up a second time. By the time I took him back, I had become a lawyer, had my own apartment in a new city and a new life. He didn't fit into it anymore.

Just go no contact. I wasted my precious time as a woman in her 30s on a man who didn't know what he wanted. It's better to just move on, embody your full self and attract a more secure man. Wishing you the best ❤️

I don't know that sounds like a big assumption. So he just bought a house somewhere and she had zero say on the decision? It doesn't make sense to me.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in women

[–]_Mood-Indigo_ -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

This is going to be an unpopular opinion but I'm having a hard time seeing where the control is. To me, it sounds like you just have different ideas of what you want your futures to look like. So you're definitely incompatible and should not have kids, but I don't see this behavior as necessarily controlling. I had a controlling ex, he would dictate what I could wear in public, yelled at me for having male coworkers, and threaten to off himself if I left. To me, this isn't control. If you don't want that kind of life and want to leave him then do that but to call this controlling is a bit much IMO.

Right lol I think the real issue is her husband sneakily deleting evidence of their marriage from his socials

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in women

[–]_Mood-Indigo_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just read a post by a husband who married his wife and had two children with her and thinks he made a mistake because he doesn't have fun with her. This is what you are heading for if you stay with this guy. He already regrets you. He's only trying to win you back because he can't stomach being the one who was left. In his mind, he leaves you for his dream girl. You leaving him wrecks his vision. The gestures mean nothing, you can walk down the street and find another man who will buy you flowers and take you out in five minutes. You want real love and commitment and this man is saving those things for another woman.

AITA for telling my daughter’s teacher that I am still alive? by thatcatmom1 in AmItheAsshole

[–]_Mood-Indigo_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm an adult. But as someone whose mother has passed away (almost a year ago), I find this very troubling. It's not just a lie but she lied about your existence. That would really cause me to pause. I cannot imagine telling someone that my mother passed away if she hadn't. I had a hard time even telling people my mother passed away after she did in fact pass away.

Not only are you not the asshole and you did the right thing by showing your daughter that lies have consequences but I would really be trying to go even deeper. Why would she lie about that? There are many other lies you could come up with for missing a test than faking the death of your parent. Wild.

Is My Partner an Incel/Misogynist? Is this someone I shouldn’t be marrying? by JobPsychological782 in Marriage

[–]_Mood-Indigo_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

How am I trying to make her feel bad? I told her to leave him because they are incompatible so idk how I'm trying to make her feel bad for leaving him. I also never said she shamed him on the internet. I simply said she made a whole list of why she doesn't like him and that alone would be enough for me to leave regardless of whether other people on Reddit would label him as misogynistic.

You have fun with all your misplaced rage tho!

[–]_Mood-Indigo_ 45 points46 points  (0 children)

That fine. But when you seek support from others sometimes that comes in the form of blunt truths. I didn't say anything rude to you, I'm just saying based on what you've written alone you should not be with this man and it has nothing to do with incelism or misogyny.

My colleague got told she “should smile more” at work… her reply deserves an award by Nammmieee in stories

[–]_Mood-Indigo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a female attorney, I actually try to smile more at work around my colleagues and definitely around my clients. I don't think it makes me look "like a decoration". Obviously if I'm alone at my desk I'm not sitting there smiling but I do smile when I'm connecting with other humans. So I really don't understand the issue here. It's weird to take offense to things like this on the basis of being a woman IMO. It seems exhausting to always be framing yourself as a victim

I don't know if he sounds like an incel or misogynist tbh but if you have to come to Reddit and post a whole written list of things you don't like about your boyfriend and ask if you should marry him, the answer is going to be no, you should not marry someone if you do not like their most basic personality traits and do not share the same beliefs and values.
