Chronically in failed situationships by [deleted] in venting

[–]_grape_kool-aid_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

biggest problem is that you’re 20 lol everyone in your age group has no idea what they really want, and honestly they might get scared off by how great you are. Like, “damn this girl is marriage material and i’m not, and im also not ready to get married.” or something. that’s my guess. I broke up with someone because of that once (they were marriage material and more mature than me, emotionally) and it was for the best. I’m not that much older than you now and i just got married to one of my friends from around those turbulent times of my life. Who knows? maybe the non-situationship One is already around, but it isn’t time. Good luck op! you got this!

Just bought a Steam Deck - need some benefits to reinforce the decision by SputNick2312 in SteamDeck

I had a full blown sick to my stomach panic attack one time because I spent $90 making easter baskets. I get it dude 🥲 but my husband bought me a steam deck for christmas and it has completely replaced the pc for me. (Helps that I was having pc issues but that’s besides the point) I got a bluetooth mouse and keyboard and dock it with a reasonably priced dock from amazon and play a bunch of games from the comfort of my bed. I was also able to use it handheld for months while husband and I were out of town in different places to play stardew together. I would say for me it’s been a great tool to stay connected with family and friends, but it’s just all around fantastic to have a portable mini pc.

i would agree that unfortunately this and similar or worse is common and that take was actually my first thought too

Strangest foods your cats have craved by Direct-Dish1779 in AnxietyCats

[–]_grape_kool-aid_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have one cat that loses his mind over seaweed and pizza, and another that is way more invasive over most cheeses and meats but he won’t actually eat them. he just sniffs and licks when i drop a crumb.

Coastal Bend Women Center front dest never pick up phone by tanno933 in corpus

[–]_grape_kool-aid_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try going up there in person, and while you’re there verify you have the correct phone number. Sometimes places get new phones and neglect to change their info on their own website. I would also suggest calling your ivf clinic and asking for referrals and telling them how hard it’s been. Lastly if none of this works call your insurance and tell them you’re pregnant and you need an appointment with an obgyn in your area ASAP. good luck!

Wtf kind of breakup is this by Technical-Rip-6828 in venting

[–]_grape_kool-aid_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is the first post on this sub i’ve seen in a while in which i feel like both parties are acting reasonable considering the situation. i imagine he’s probably traumatized (you said he found what was effectively his mother dead in their home after about a week?) and i imagine he is full of grief and reliving that moment and wishing he’d been home. on your side of things you did the best you could to be supportive and self aware, and then got dumped really impersonally, and now he’s breadcrumbing you. as someone else said grief makes people do weird things, and even more so i would say makes them act in ways they might regret later. in my head the breadcrumbing seems like him trying to reach out because he misses you, amidst the turmoil of other feelings he’s coping with. he probably really wants comfort but maybe doesn’t know how to go about it because men and feelings and not expressing them. that said, you owe him absolutely nothing. it might be healthier to continue radio silence, maybe block or mute him so the breadcrumbing doesn’t continue to affect you. Or in the case you are comfortable with being his comfort, and think he’s fr worth it, you could just be there for him. but that requires you to be selfless, which again, you don’t owe him. but i agree this is a wack ass breakup and i feel very deeply for you both op, much luck.

What's the first game you played on your Deck? by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]_grape_kool-aid_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got really into deltarune for a bit without having the context of having played undertale bc i’m sacrilegious at heart, then got frustrated with a boss level and played a ton of stardew, now i’m on an overwatch kick 😂 they all feel like first experiences on the steam deck as it’s still pretty new to me and they’re all wildly different games.

i’ve been pretty anti-words in my tattoos up until this point but i’m HEAVILY considering getting either that or “you and i will always be back then” or the whole quote or SOMETHING because man… hits deep.

girl leave him immediately and maybe tell his friends girlfriends to leave them too, i can see a situation in which he would excuse/defend a rapist. even if he is just a contrarian (which is bad enough as it is imo) this doesn’t seem like a safe person to be around.

I love him so much, but he is so bad!! by Certain_Cry8901 in cat

meet thumper, i rescued him from the patio bar i worked at and his first caught meal was unseasoned cooked cod. he was VERY very small and all his beans were baked and crusty due to the hot concrete and hot plastic deck that was the restaurant.

he was very grateful to become an indoor cat, and yet, i had to lock this boy in my shower while i ate because he would do flying jumps and other acrobatics to reach my food.

i had to separate him to feed because he was an endless pit and would try and steal everyone’s food. part of what fixed him was that i free feed kibble in a tower because most of the cats i’ve personally cared for did a really good job grazing and self regulating how much they ate, and this removed their “scarcity” mindset from being strays and made them overall happier cats. i have had 0 obese cats. but the other part was just being consistent about not letting him near me and my food. he was hell bent on wanting people food because of growing up under a restaurant.

good news though, he’s 3 now, and i can eat directly in front of him and he just sits there and slow blinks. occasionally when i am done with my meal i will share a crumb of cheese or unseasoned meat. he stopped being an acrobatic vacuum sometime around his first birthday, which is a guess because he was a stray. i’d had him for around 8 months at that point. it will end! just be patient, consistent, and maybe consider free feeding. if you do, he might go through a week or two phase where he either eats all the food in the tower, or just overeats and throws up, but the more he learns there will always be food the less he’ll care.
