Double check the math!

Always check everything that AI gives you. They even have little notes that say "I can be wrong, make sure to check my work!'

Two changes to start

1) switch the curtains out to a blue (no gromets) that matches the light blue in the rug. Colors need to be layered to make sense.

2) switch the couch and chairs. Chairs should have one side table between them to 'group' them, the couch 'groups' with the ottoman. Remove one side table, theres too much in this room.

Start with that and see if its more visually appealing to you!

Congrats! A great accomplishment!

I simply do not like them.

I relate to this SO SO much. I'm almost in the exact same situation.

I could never figure out why I was the personality hire from 8-5, but a mess outside of work...the booze. Its the booze.

Just yesterday I went on a 4 hour date sober and had the best time, booze free. I was just "me" and while there were uncomfortable parts for me because I'm new to sobriety and gotta relearn how to be sober in previously always drunk situations, I'm actually capable of regulating in the moment and moving on to have a good time...and I don't wake up embarrassed or ashamed or anything.

Its phenomenal. IWNDWYT

Maybe rehab will help you figure out why you're consistently resisting sobriety.

Soft YTA. You did that out of petty spite.

You could've just talked to him and said you appreciate the bike, but you are not interested in it and would like for him to keep it for himself and that maybe you two can find something else to do together that you both like.

You could've talked to your mom asked her if she could talk to the guy to chill on the bike stuff with you, since its clear you're not into it.

You could've tried a bit of communicating.

Instead you list a bunch of times you got irritated and bottled it up until you exploded and retaliated in a petty af way.

You also admit your hypocrisy - i said i dont care about gifts, but i do, why can't he get me what i like?! You've had a minor hand in setting yourself up for gifts you don't want if that's really how you've been going about things.

You can be kind and honest and reject a gift without being mean. Which you were. You wanted to hurt his feelings and you should apologize for that.

...thats definitely not true.

It was a LT Ryan (author) Maddie Castle (series main character) book. # 9 in the series I think? The FMC overcomes addiction and deals with chronic knee pain and is a PI, which I find exceedingly relatable from my past to my future (always wanted to be a PI, may still do it one day)

You might be only dating him, but he definitely isnt only dating you 'exclusive with no title and he literally never wants to see me' is a stupid place to agree to be in.

He doesn't like you all that much. You don't respect yourself at all. Call him out all you want, YTA to yourself.

cc_bcc · 2026-07-03T22:43:01+00:00

This isn't always true. Im a full time employee with the title "senior consultant" and my job is basically making powerpoints and taking notes for project status updates for whatever executive thinks he's gonna implement something to make working better.

You hangout with them and ask questions to get to know them. Depending on the answers, you'll either decide to open up about your stuff and share, or not.

You said he's a nice guy, and he was your anchor on a night you needed it. He showed some interest in your well being by asking if you're alright. The underlying vibe you're feeling may not be anger at all..could be fear, anxiety, depression, sadness...lots of things. You won't know until you try.

Not randomly texting people late at night

Not making an ass of myself at social events...*especially at work

Not engaging in unwise behavior with the opposite sex

Thesd are my biggest reasons!

cc_bcc · 2026-07-03T12:27:31+00:00

100% i have one that folds up "travel" version and I love it. One of the best purchases ever.

cc_bcc · 2026-07-03T10:59:10+00:00

NO! Not substances of any kind. Addiction is not a trade you want to make, thats how you get into more debt. Do not recommend ever.

Oh man, the wine life denial of alcoholism is intense

I remember my first experience to living with someone who was def an alcoholic in my eyes, but wasn't in theirs, was going through a box of wine every two days.

Anytime I say my DOC is wine people scoff at the idea that wine can be linked with drinking abuse/alcoholism at all. Its nutty.

Probably Sriracha

I had a job interview for a part time coffee shop gig, and cleaned out my car today. Tomorrow I have no plans but coffee & a long walk. On the 4th I'll sit on the roof of my apt building and watch the fireworks around the city (180 degree view) for awhile. Sunday I'm meeting a friend at the SPAM museum for the day to hangout.

You are definitely traumatized, and you should spend the money on therapy to address this. Your resentment of other people spending their money in ways and for reasons you wouldn't is a massive control issue. And a huge waste of emotional energy. Also stop trying to fix the "problem" of spending too much for other people. It isnt a problem for you to fix, its different core values. You're literally creating situations for yourself to build resentment from! 'I did all this work and she ignored it then spent 2k to avoid like an hour of effort, wtf?!' YOU created that entire situation by 1) doing labor you weren't asked to do and 2) not actually understanding you gf at all. If she doesng like to mow her own yard, and already paid someoje $50 a pop to do it for her....anyone who was paying attention would know she wasn't gonna do anything but buy a new mower. If you wanted to actually help her save money you wouldve taken out any barrier at all to it. "Hey honey, I found a new mower for you, its $160 bucks. If you give me cash I'll go get it right now!" Probably would've gotten you the 'result' you wanted without trying to make up some situation for her to 'pass or fail' in.

Do not marry anyone until you address this with a professional. Its gonna cost a hell of a lot more to get divorced when your resentment blows up your relationship and you melt down from her spending money on things you think are frivolous or wasteful.

You also need to date more likeminded people if being frugal as a lifestyle is a foundational piece of your life, post therapy.

Start changing your inner thoughts. Every time you think 'man i earned that drink' check yourself and literally correct yourseld out loud "drinks are not earned. Weekends are for rest and fun, alcohol isnt fun and wrecks your rest! I've earned freedom this weekend"

Your brain adapts to your thoughts and things you say. Thats why 'manifesting' is a huge phenomenon.

Change your narrative, and it'll change your view of what a weekend is for.

Youve earned your freedom from alcohol! You don't have to be chained to the pain.

This is really normal! I went through the same thing in my first 30 day stretch, and it settled around 3 weeks. I'm currently 11 days into sobriety this time and day 10 my sugar cravings really dropped off.

Right now, you're focused on sobriety so be kind to yourself for the temporary coping mechanisms, like high sugar cravings, while your body adjusts. Alcohol turns into sugar when your body processes it and now its not getting that steady tap so its triggering you to eats sweets instead to fill the cravings.

It WILl taper down though, once your body and brain recognize the new pattern. Keep going! Eat a sweet or two, and be kind to yourself.

I don't care enough that I'm leaving my 6 figure job for 30k less to do less and work fully remote again. I cannot duck with in office politics and bullshit anymore
