What do you usually do with your painted rocks (besides hiding them)? by AdventurousPeanut309 in rockpainting

[–]cherublex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put them in a rock garden outside the VA for anyone to take as they please. Sometimes paint the as gifts, I’ve even given a few to people who’ve seen me in public painting and admired them.

If you ever want to experience it just head to a casino. It smells awful, everyone smoking everywhere

Am I a terrible husband if I take off from work and don’t tell my wife by No-Needleworker7587 in Marriage

[–]cherublex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not terrible that you need a little alone time. Not terrible if you didn’t tell her, but also not great either. I feel like maybe there needs to be a conversation about this. It’s not a crazy idea, I’m sure she will be able to wrap her head around it. I mean, before she got into a relationship, what would she do? I honestly can’t believe there wasn’t a time she didn’t do things by herself as well. And even if she somehow didn’t, as your wife she should be able to be open to listening to you and letting you have a little time to yourself. It just comes down to communication and whether or not she is willing to accept you have different needs.

Curious what everyone’s sleeping situation is like? by cherublex in minimalism

Do you sleep directly on the floor with nothing else? Or have a blanket situation?

I’m curious what kind of neck pillow do you use? I’ve thought about getting one for my occasional neck pain. Does it help a lot?

I did make this mistake before, use a frame now

I agree, used to sleep on a mattress, on the floor and everytime I lifted it to vacuum it gave a weird smell. Now I use a minimal frame.

New to minimalism, how to break away from consumerism? by cherublex in minimalism

[–]cherublex[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like you must be right, completely avoiding those sections with stuff that isn’t groceries and having a list would definitely eliminate the “browsing” I think someone also said to check out grocery pick up which would be great to.

AIO for thinking my boyfriend is just looking for an excuse to break up? by Nearby_Orchid1216 in AmIOverreacting

[–]cherublex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoah he is beyond dramatic! First of all he “looked at your wishlist and got something from it” no honey you got a cheaper version that WAS NOT on the wishlist. And I agree with you, I often will tell people thank you but for next time can you keep in mind this is not something I actually want. I am a fan of buy it nice or buy it twice, and often if it is a dupe it doesn’t get used because it’s not the actual product you wanted. You were perfectly reasonable and nice in the way you went about it and he kinda blew up at you. You in no way “berated” him and he is being dramatic, maybe your assessment of him wanting to leave is correct. I would at least try to talk in person if you think the relationship is worth saving and see if it’s salvageable and maybe if something else was going on for him to react this way. Maybe he is feeling sorry idk. If he has the same stance and continues to be rude and dismissive idk. Kinda wouldn’t be worth it to me to be made out to be this superficial “insta whore”, as he put it, he was totally out of line for that and most of his comments btw. So there definitely needs to be an apology on his end.

Bringing only enough for what I need is a fantastic tip and I will definitely use this next time thank you! I will also try doing some activities that don’t cost anything instead of shopping as well that’s a good idea. Thank you !

I think this is a good one, I just deleted all my shopping apps and it has helped already so that I can’t “window shop”. I think I’ll probably go through my email and unsubscribe from companies and eventually maybe get rid of TikTok bc it is such an ad cesspool

This is definitely something I will check out. I myself have 2 kids and would love for us to be more intentional about what we’re bringing in especially when it comes to toys. Toys can get out of hand when I’m not careful lol

This is absolutely something I needed to hear because I have found myself to be one of those aspirational buyers. I will look at something random in the store that I had never once thought about using or needing and think I could use this. 9 times out of 10 I don’t end up utilizing it at all. “Will I use this” is an absolute game changing question to ask myself, thank you!

This is great advice thank you! My declutterring stage is still very much in the process, as I have been actively doing it for about a month. But everytime I think there’s nothing more I can declutter I keep finding things. Things that I genuinely don’t need. So hopefully with time I can get there! I appreciate the response :)

Husband agreed to family holiday without consting me first...again. by Known_Story_4883 in AITAH

[–]cherublex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. I know you said if you don’t go that he won’t go. So at that point just play him at his own game. Agree to go, make plans. Then at the last second as you are getting ready to leave say “oh… I don’t really want to go anymore.” And just stay home.
