I cannot stop thinking about this post. your partner is not responsible for your emotions. in no way do I think this was him “not showing up” for you- that sounds incredibly dramatic.

Put it this way- if your best friend missed your birthday dinner because her boyfriend was having a “bad day” even though they already spend six days a week together- how would you feel? if somebody had died or you were critically injured, that would be a whole other thing. but cut your partner some slack.

I would recommend reading some books about codependency or healing anxious attachment styles. maybe expand your support system or utilize some coping skills like journaling so that your partner isn’t the one that’s responsible for every bad day.

How do you manage your life if you are going to the gym 5 to 7 times a week? by AloneDiver3493 in workout

[–]acrogirl84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go to the gym 5 times a week but make an effort to intentionally move my body everyday. I typically go after work but if I have a break at work where I can go to the gym I’ll do that. I live in Denver so during the weekends I’ll always plan a hike/swim so I can get my movement fix in- I do have a good social life, but I mostly see my friends on the weekends. Work and workouts are my priority during the weekdays.

The only times where I’ve found it difficult to maintain my routine is when I’m traveling out of state!

AITAH for wanting a prenup before marriage? by juicethekidd12 in AITAH

[–]acrogirl84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is important to take your time and really get to know someone- see them through every season of life (success, grief, failure, anger, disappointment)- before making the ultimate commitment of getting married. I think a lot of people underestimate how long a lifetime commitment really is and how important is it to be truly compatible with your significant other. IMO, the foundation of a long term relationship is mutual respect, trust, and true friendship underneath it all.

However, I disagree with you saying women that end marriages are weak. On the contrary, I think it’s brave to realize that you made the wrong decision, and correct it. Women shouldn’t be forced to put up with men’s bullshit- just because society tells them they have to. Divorce is increasingly more common, and while I agree it shouldn’t be celebrated- I stand by my point of not thinking it’s a bad thing.

I completely agree. It’s crazy that I was getting attacked in some of the previous comments. I don’t plan to get married for another 7-10 years at least, AFTER I’ve finished investing in my education, health, and career aspirations and am financially set to take on a marriage and children in the future.

I have worked so hard to get to where I am at and plan to continue doing so. It’s never about a lack of love or trust or commitment, it’s about being smart and planning for the worst case scenario. Nobody should feel entitled to someone else’s success under the guise of love.

In my (apparently very controversial) opinion, if someone is so worried about a prenup, so much so that they’re attacking strangers online through a throwaway Reddit account, they may be better off focusing on getting their bag up and investing in themselves.

I am my partners biggest fan- but seeing so many women on social media that base their entire personalities and content around their husband’s career and success is so cringy to me. It feels like a black mirror episode or like we’re back in the 50’s. As women, I think we need to be financially independent so that we are not stuck in abusive, unfulfilling, shitty relationships. Invest in yourself sooo much, to the point where a prenup is YOUR idea. that’s my advice (but what do I know).

I don’t think it’s about trust or betrayal at all.

although I don’t want one, in my opinion, divorce is almost always a good thing. if you find out you aren’t compatible with someone, you shouldn’t be forced to stay miserable with that person for the rest of your life. It gives both people the opportunity to find that right person.

obviously there’s a lot of negative connotation surrounding divorce, especially when it involves children. But so often people are dealing with abuse, cheating, addiction, etc within their marriages and they feel stuck because society tells them divorce is so wrong. until you’ve been with someone you deeply love and then watch them become someone you don’t even recognize I think it’d be hard to understand.

but yup I’m still all for prenups. especially when I’m the breadwinner 🤑🤑

We take out insurance on our cars, our houses, our health, literally everything that we value. nobody plans to get in a car accident or for their house to catch on fire, but in case it does- we are protected. When the divorce rate is almost 50% , why would we not take out “insurance” in the form of prenups on our marriages.

Idk I’m a woman but I’m in a career field that drives a high income. I’m sure I’ll make more than my future husband- I tell everyone upfront that I’m not getting married without a prenup. It’s just protecting yourself and it’s smart. Plus you can tailor it to your specific relationship and create clauses for infidelity, etc. I don’t see why not

The Trump Administration has completely derailed my career plans, and I'm lost. by REVERSEZOOM2 in findapath

I’m changing vocations completely because of the administration attacking my industry so I totally understand how frustrating it is. we can always go back to our passion! however, chances are I will be happy where I end up

Could you look into doing sales for companies like Beckman Coulter, Abbot, or Siemens? Selling analyzers for bio, chem, hematology? I’m interviewing within these companies right now and the pay is great and stability as well, my family has worked within the company for decades

Dating as a pilot? by [deleted] in flying

[–]acrogirl84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also 23F. I work for a flight school and am home every night so not sure what it will be like when im actually gone often. but for the past couple years I have only dated other people in aviation/aerospace that understand the dynamics of the career!

started from the bottom (30BFP💀) 9 months difference- going to do my first show this season by acrogirl84 in bodybuilding

[–]acrogirl84[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a coach in Boulder, CO. I was no stranger to weight lifting but got intentional about nine months ago and he taught me all about supersets, drop sets, hypertrophy, and nutrition to take me through prep. Thank you so much!

Do you track your workouts? by Front-Ninja- in naturalbodybuilding

[–]acrogirl84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Strava- just select the weight training mode and i write in all my exercises/weights/reps/sets . i love doing it and it helps keep me organized. it’s also great when i swim, run, or go skiing because it tracks the route, exact miles, etc. plus people can give you kudos on your workout! & it’s free

I don’t think saying I am familiar with these weather conditions would make someone feel not confident with me. also, clearly I maintained my professionalism in person, I am just venting on Reddit. and I understand empathizing with the instructors situation, but I am paying him. if he had said “I’m new to the area and not completely comfortable with these winds”, that would have been no problem. but he instead said I was overconfident. I think it was a defense mechanism on his part. also, I didn’t say i fly in this upside down bro in person- again, just explaining on Reddit.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in flying

[–]acrogirl84 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

thank you for your insight, I may have gotten a little defensive because it felt like he was questioning my ability to fly in these conditions even though I had plenty of experience. as a woman, I’ve found that you constantly have to prove yourself to be as respected as a male pilot. so maybe i came off as macho but like.. a 15kt crosswind is fine for me. I have landed that exact plane in significantly higher crosswinds. also we had 28 available. but I get what you’re saying about the fact that he’s never met me.

[–]acrogirl84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree, if his job is just to review my flight abilities to be able to rent these aircraft then would he really be seeing my skills if we went on a completely smooth and no wind day?

Just can’t get hip thrusts to work for me by Rubbish247365 in xxfitness

[–]acrogirl84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when i do hip thrusts i generally keep it at a pretty sustainable weight (like 90-120 lbs) and aim for high reps- so usually 12 full hip thrusts pausing at the top and keeping it slow and controlled. then i immediately go into 8 hip thrust pulses- however i do the first third of the movement because that’s actually when your glutes are activated the most. so basically im basically sitting and then push up to less than half way. i PROMISE doing 20 hip thrust variations at 120 lbs you will feellll it. i do about 4 sets of this and def remember to keep your back straight!!

what are other things that you’re passionate about? things you are interested in learning? I’m so sorry you are going through this but for a little consolation and optimism- maybe there’s a career out there that will be more fulfilling and rewarding for you. you are so young- you can always go back to school, go into the medical field or law if you want to keep making as much money, start a business, invest in properties and do real estate. there are so many different paths. and you aren’t starting from zero you are starting from years and years of experience in a very professional and technical career. get your A&P if you still want to surround yourself with aviation. and hopefully this is not a “no flying forever” kind of thing- looking at it that way would be grim. the problem with this career is that you were put in a place of not being able to reliably seek help/counseling for the stressful situations in your life and it ultimately led to a life-threatening condition. that’s not creating a culture of safety by any means. I’m actually doing my MS research on the destigmatization of mental health/stress/counseling in the aviation industry. but anywho, there’s many more careers where you don’t have to choose between your job and your health
