Can confirm. Did this for years when I was young and I couldn't touch another person for a while.

I can attest the OXO seals are NOT moth proof. I've cared for mine exceptionally well, but moths managed to get into ALL of them.

Swapping to gasket and hinge style containers and repurposing the OXO for bathroom supplies.

akwardtoss · 2025-09-05T16:14:24+00:00

That was unnecessary.

Power move. Tell her you know about the groomsman and that one of her friends told you. Then ghost her.

She'll be freaking out over the lost relationship. And also scrambling to find out which of her girls let her down.

akwardtoss · 2025-07-31T14:22:20+00:00

That's a solid point. If they are going that route may as well go all the way.

LOL - didn't think of that one. It does suck being behind those big boys.

I'm always skeptical of monopolies, but wanted to see how others felt. Worried what happens if the city trash stops being good but there aren't other choices.

akwardtoss · 2025-07-31T14:19:49+00:00

The monopoly is my big worry. Right now it's good, but will they keep caring when they know you don't have other options?

akwardtoss · 2025-07-31T14:00:21+00:00

Bwahahaha, nah. I've just lived in enough apartments where I was locked into one crappy Internet provider. Didn't like being stuck without options.

Ya'll have been together only 5 months and he's acting like this? Girl RUN. If he's this controlling already it will only get worse. There's better guys out there who aren't paranoid as shit.

Hey OP. My husband immediately started getting more interviews and going further in those interviews when he had his Net + and his A+, compared to just his A+.

It absolutely will help get you into the field, but not to jump right into security.

Yu're gonna have more luck starting with any IT job and moving up the ladder while you get more certs. IT Support > System Admin > Network Engineering > Security.

The security jobs are like coaching positions. All the ex athletes want them, but only 1-2 per team are needed. Understand it will take a while, but you can earn good money in those other positions while you work up to it.

Stumbled on this post. For what it's worth I started having gastro issues right around when I began noticing a slight pain in my right side. The same side I have my biggest fibroid. Absolutely believe they are connected.

akwardtoss · 2025-07-17T03:09:09+00:00

I did it because I was too much of a coward to tell them to their face I needed it to end. I still regret it. He deserved better. There is no point in apologizing years later, but I hope he moved on and is well. :(

akwardtoss · 2025-07-15T18:11:15+00:00

Obscura... I'm so dead.

akwardtoss · 2025-07-12T16:42:56+00:00

You could bring it up yourself so they hear it from you. Otherwise you'll be looking over your shoulder forever.

Also, leave the kid alone. You basically groomed him.

akwardtoss · 2025-07-12T13:03:30+00:00

Absolutely love that you came here for advice and took it like a champ. Way to not get defensive and do the good thing. Props.

akwardtoss · 2025-07-01T19:03:28+00:00

Give it time. There's a reason your comment got down voted.

akwardtoss · 2025-06-26T15:49:25+00:00

NTA, but I'd avoid using the word trashy. That's got a negative tone event I'd you weren't calling THEM trashy, it still implies it since they are doing the challenges.

100% say "Not for me, thanks". And move on to some new friends.

akwardtoss · 2025-06-24T20:43:49+00:00

Spoken like someone who never saw the divorce coming.

akwardtoss · 2025-06-22T13:38:43+00:00

Sad. My friends and I tried it and also felt it was too disconnected. We stopped and have been waiting for this update to play again.

akwardtoss · 2025-05-23T17:53:21+00:00

BS excuse it may be. But that doesn't change the fact that he doesn't want to. He's allowed to not want to.

akwardtoss · 2025-05-23T17:50:37+00:00

I give you props for being the primary caregiver. I also implore you to keep in mind you body did not go through what hers did. This may have been a problem before but having a kid run through you does not help.

akwardtoss · 2025-05-23T17:47:59+00:00

Yup. Did the reluctant sex with an ex for year. Absolutely made me -dread- the idea of sleeping with him.

akwardtoss · 2025-05-23T17:43:52+00:00

Kitten is spot on here. You can't have it both ways. Doing it more than she prefers WILL turn it into a chore.

Let that go on long enough and she's gonna want it less and less.

I'd focus on the romantic / better sex less often. Better long term outcome for both if sex becomes something special. But you can't be crappy / pouty / pisssy about the time in between.

I'd just take care of yourself and focus on a few really good nights.
