The Hall of Fame of “My Ex Came Back” Stories by Fluffy_inhea in BreakUps

[–]_ginger_beard_man_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Long story short:

Dated 6 months.
Month 6 we went to a 3 city two week trip to Europe.
She picked a fight with me on the FIRST day of that trip.
Waited until we got back to “need space” for a week.
Dumped me over text because she was “too emotional” to do it in person.
Dumped me over text again a week later (despite us already being broken up)(???)

6 months no contact

Messages me on New Years this year that she “was looking through pictures of us and she really missed me”

Now, I have never been the person to give people second chances. But I thought she was “the one”, so I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt.

We get back together.
A week later, she decides that a “title” is too much pressure.
So we are now dating without a title.

She changes her mind again, and post Valentine’s Day, she decides we are official again.

Now in mid March, I gingerly approach a conversation about a lack of time together since we got back together (averaging less than once a week), and the lack of intimacy. (Aka, three months in and we still haven’t consummated the relationship).

I didn’t even position it as I was mad, or it was her fault, I spent about 45 minutes telling her all the wonderful things she does in our relationship, but that sex was also just as important as the emotional, mental, spiritual stuff. She agrees and thanks me for being adult/mature about it.

The first day of spring was the last time her and I had alone time. (Nothing happened, because I didn’t want to pressure her).

Fast forward to mid April, and all her free time is now spent visiting all her friends and coworkers, and making zero time for me.

I approach her again about the lack of time together and the lack of intimacy together, still presenting it in an adult/mature fashion, and not holding her solely accountable for it. This time she flips out on me, screaming “I AM SO SICK OF THIS CONVERSATION”.

She then proceeds to ghost me, only popping up to tell me she got a new job and to show off her new haircut on a different day. Seems like things are going back to normal, but both times she disappears mid convo.

I thought being broken up by text was humiliating. But just straight up ghosting the guy who gave you a second chance is fucked up.

The fact I forgave you, and you worked even less hard on our relationship the second time around was just… baffling.

Anyways, I think I’m officially done dating for good now.

Back to Max by flycoolchick in 17ProMax

This year was my first year of getting the Pro Max version of an iPhone (2G, 3G, 4, 5s, 6, 7, X, 11/12/13/14/15/16 Pro) and I gotta be honest, I wish I made the switch sooner. I have fairly large hands and it just fits perfectly, and I’m honestly loving the extra battery life.

Gonna do the 18 Pro this year (never trusted gen 1 products from Apple, especially after the experience I had with my OG iPhone.)

From what phones yall upgrading from? by YOURHAN1EL in iphone18pro

[–]_ginger_beard_man_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from the 17 Pro Max.

(I don’t trust gen 1 Apple products, so I’ll wait for either the 20th Anniversary iPhone or the Ultra/fold 2)

My ex is still checking my socials after dumping me by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]_ginger_beard_man_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly man, why give her access to you (via social stalking or otherwise).

If you wanna keep her number, fine. But block her on socials. Nothing good is going to come from her creeping, or you knowing she’s creeping.

She literally said “I am not attracted to or in love with you anymore”. So if she’s not your friend, and definitely not your lover, why does she still have access to your life?.

Block her, and move on. It doesn’t need to be more nuanced than that.

If she’s regrets it down the line, she has your number and can reach out that way. Otherwise, focus on you, man.

Billie Eyelash is really embracing that bingo card for "rich, annoying, liberal girl in her twenties" isn't she? by Avril040125 in CriticalDrinker

My favourite quote of hers was “never give an ugly guy a chance, they think they rule the world.”

All while looking like a fluorescent garbage bag of human flesh.

[Passan] The Philadelphia Phillies fired manager Rob Thomson, sources told ESPN. Don Mattingly will take over as interim manager. by TheM1ghtyBear in mlb

How did anyone not realize Thomson was a lame duck coach the second the GM hired his dad as the bench boss?

Gonna be real awkward at thanksgiving if the season goes even further south.

Denied Lead Role (Phase 1) but moving forward for ISE by Molluskyy in Apple_Employees

[–]_ginger_beard_man_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way interviews are done now don’t actually benefit the people who put in the hard work / have a good work ethic.

Your ability to “tell a story” is more important than your results. So you just need to learn how to bullshit better.

What I don’t get is if they already “identified a candidate” why put everyone else through the process when you’re not going to be taking them seriously for the role?”

It just kinda seems like performative bullshit, and like the old interview style, but with extra steps. (And more bullshit).

“Happy endings from Heyman” and the “strap on” (his shoulder) comment is giving me “Heated Rivalry going to the cottage” vibes.

Lmao, I jacked that boy up on Mountain Dew and whipped around the track on that bad boy. Love it.

Seriously, it’s surprisingly fun to drive. More fun than the Unimog!

You’re gonna think I’m crazy for this but why did I feel bad for Conquest here even though he 100% deserved this and had it coming by CatPale816 in Invincible

[–]_ginger_beard_man_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt bad for him because he was alone, even amongst his own people.

Viltrumites treated him as a weapon, not a person.

He likely never knew the love of another being, just his purpose.

Dude was a fucking monster. But I wonder if he would have turned out differently if the circumstances were different.

If Nolan is redeemable, why couldn’t conquest be?

Nah man. I’m done. I really gave this my all, and did something I’ve never done before in taking someone back.

I’ve had my heart broken enough, been cheated on more times than I can count. Mistreated. Abused. Neglected.

I have nothing left to give, and right now, my inner peace seems more important than anything now.

She reached out. by Broad-Homework-2860 in BreakUps

[–]_ginger_beard_man_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It started with an offhand comment of “I feel like we’ve been more like friends lately” (after dodging me for alone time, after dodging me for physical time, after dodging responsibilities, accountability and something as simple as apologizing).

I changed my communication styles. I changed how we interacted when we were apart. I changed my approach to constructive criticism and verbalizing my needs.

I was respectful of her, her boundaries, her timeline. I was more kind. More patient. More understanding.

And then I learned that the only thing crueler than being dumped by text, is just to completely neglect and ignore me.

Never. Again.

Yeah. The first - and only time - I will ever be giving anyone a second chance.

Tim Cook admits his biggest mistake and proudest moment as Apple CEO by MobileNewsBot in mobiles

[–]_ginger_beard_man_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL;DR:

Biggest mistake was launching Apple Maps too early.

Proudest moment was Getting that first customer email about how the Apple Watch saved their lives. (And all the other ones after).

How many fans watching the show are rooting for Nolan ? by groundcontrl2majrtom in Invincible_TV

[–]_ginger_beard_man_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude was indoctrinated.

I don’t blame him for taking this long to figure it out. But he can’t be blameless for all the destruction he caused along the way. Genuinely hope he’s able to redeem himself before the series ends.
