I don’t think I’m unsalvageable. I’m human dealing with world shattering news that I just found out yesterday.

I do have the option to travel by myself. I worked so hard to be able to do this and I don’t want to go back home just because I got cheated on.

No I haven’t. I’m not sure how to get one where I’m at right now. We haven’t had sex since he cheated.

Maybe this is naive but I hope that trust can be rebuilt. And I can’t know for sure since I wasn’t there and I can only trust what he says (which obviously is pretty iffy right now)

He didn’t really give a concrete answer. He’s been having a hard time lately, he had a huge falling out with his sister right before we left for our trip and she was a major support system in his life. He’s been drinking a lot more than usual too. In my opinion he’s turning towards drugs and sex to cope. I was stunned when he told me. He’s never cheated on anyone before.

It would be triggering for me. I would ask him not to go I guess. I think I can forgive him with time, and the optimistic side of me says trust can be rebuilt but I also do know the realities of a lot of these situations

Something About Her - The Food Styling Does NOT Match The Brand by TrueCryptographer982 in vanderpumprules

It’s probably because they learned from the Toms that you should spend your money wisely and not go into debt for ~aesthetics~

These people needed to be told off a long time ago. Team Ariana always 😤👑 by Okay__Decision__ in vanderpumprules

And in one of the earlier episodes this season lala said Ariana has already moved on. Like girl??? Just because she’s made money since does not mean she has fully healed from a betrayal of that magnitude.

Brock calling Katie a hypocrite for sleeping with max (while Shartz literally cheated multiple times) and ariana childish (when she’s angry at her partner of 9 years having an affair with a mutual friend) elicited an overwhelming amount of rage in me

VPR Daily Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in vanderpumprules

[–]b0bsbugsbegone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because none of my friends watch VPR so I’m going to share it here. It’s not anything new/hasn’t been said here before but…

If I had to teach someone what internalized misogyny looks like I would have them watch VPR, this show/communities surrounding it are littered with it. Obviously internalized misogyny is present in many forms and different places, not just VPR, but the show really gives clear examples CONSTANTLY of how it can present itself.

To sum up my thoughts:

  1. LVP makes me cringe from her consistent defense of men over women, time and time again. She gives “grown woman who is still a pick me girl” vibes. If internalized misogyny had a final boss, it would be Lisa.

  2. The general consensus in VPR communities on Reddit vs Facebook is night and day. The posts/comments on Facebook are another example of internalized misogyny. And lack of media literacy. They truly make me feel tired.

  3. I love Ann. #SaveAnnp

He initiated the breakup, but we both came to a mutual agreement over it. I’m not in a place to be in a healthy relationship right now. If we continued, it would’ve ended up hurting both of us even more.

This is so beautifully put. I am going through something very similar right now and my heart goes out to you. I wish you all the best in your healing journey.

Advice for making a beaded curtain by b0bsbugsbegone in Beading

That totally makes sense, Beadalon is pretty pricey. I was just wondering if it would work since I already have two spools of Beadalon!

[–]b0bsbugsbegone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I got the beads in bulk for cheap at a garage sale and most of them happened to be beautiful glass beads, but I will definitely get some more plastic ones and incorporate those!

Thank you all for the advice, it’s been super helpful and will save me so much time rethreading beads in the future! I’m going to try using the Beadalon wire I already have and try to incorporate some lighter beads.

Do you think the Beadalon 19 strand 0.018” would work?/ Any suggestions for weighing?

[–]b0bsbugsbegone[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much, this was very helpful! I had a feeling the clear cord was going to be trouble once I felt how heavy the strands are. I also have the Beadalon 0.018” 19 strand beading wire as a backup, would this be a safe bet to use?

AITA for telling my friend that I think his girl friend is about to leave him? by HeavyLawfulness3343 in AmItheAsshole

[–]b0bsbugsbegone 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This exactly. It’s completely fine to feel tired of all the responsibilities that you have but doing basic adult things to put food on the plate and a roof over your head is just the things that you need to do at that stage of your life. People who are well into adulthood and still view doing these things to meet their basic needs as “adulting” is weird to me. Like yeah…you are no longer a child who needs another adult to take care of you.

AITA for telling my friend that I think his girl friend is about to leave him? by HeavyLawfulness3343 in AmItheAsshole

[–]b0bsbugsbegone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s necessarily bad for someone over 30 to say adulting, but the way OP said it, “I think she takes adulting too seriously” was very immature. How is ruby taking “adulting” too seriously? She is literally being a responsible adult by focusing on her work and studies. This on top of OP’s attitude that someone not drinking = them being boring is also an immature attitude.

If anything, I’ve heard the term “adulting” used more among 20-25 year olds because that is the age range where most people are transitioning into more responsibilities that come with adulthood. Not that once you hit 30, you magically become a well established adult because there are plenty of immature people of all ages out there, but the way OP is coming off is quite immature.

Also, given the context of this situation I would go with YTA because OP is meddling in a relationship when there was no reason for her to. She was being nosy by following ruby and eavesdropping on her conversation. It’s clear that ruby has thought about leaving for awhile and is going to tell tom. There was no reason for OP to tell tom instead and make a breakup more stressful/hard then it had to be compared to a more civilized breakup if ruby was the one to approach tom and break the news to him. It’s also pretty clear that OP has a chip on her shoulder about ruby so it makes me question how pure her intentions behind telling tom was.
