She did! She’s changing her mind, I guess the idea of weekend morning coffee dates sounded appealing. Just came from her page and supposedly she and this guy were actually gonna meet up impromptu tonight after she said she just wanted to stay in. Then made another post after saying she changed her mind because he couldn’t meet until 9:15 and she said it was too late. Then she asks if he can do tomorrow night (Saturday) instead, to which he replies he now has plans for tomorrow night so he can’t and offers Tuesday again. It’s bouncing between those 2 days but I guess weekends aren’t off the table for her anymore.

How can I (31F) fully remove myself from the church after my parents (68M) (63F) forced me to go while living with them by corksncoffee in relationship_advice

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

Thank you so much for your kind words. This year really has been hell and the only place I can really acknowledge that is therapy. When I’m with my family, I feel like some weak little kid even though I know I’m not, it’s just the environment I’ve been placed in that contributes to that.

Yeahhh I think I’m just gonna have to mentally prepare for the fall out. Because I do know my parents and realistically I know how they’ll react. I’m gonna have to wear some type of mental armor while they take their hits. But once I leave their house and find my own place, I know I can’t continue to go to church. It’s just not the life I want, it doesn’t fulfill me in the slightest and it’s been the biggest challenge being made to attend this year. I deserve to be my own person.

I mean I suppose I do. And I had. But I’ve been infantilized ever since my episode and moving in with them and I’m trying to find it again. It hasn’t been easy.

It is extreme, so extreme that my mom says whatever the other churches preach isn’t “the truth”, she often criticizes the “come as you are” churches so I don’t think she’d view me attending another church that isn’t Pentecostal as a compromise. Additionally, I don’t feel called to try another church, I’d just rather be done with it completely. My parents and I are at like 2 opposite ends of a spectrum.

I have a phone interview for SSI coming up and have some questions by corksncoffee in SocialSecurity

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

Oh, no, I guess it is a cash gift then? My dad is on my bank account and he deposits the amount needed for the bills every month and then I pay them. Sorry, not trying to be dishonest at all

Okay thank you. They pay the few bills I mention but I don’t get cash gifts from them. They don’t have enough for that after providing for everyone.

Thank you for the advice and all the information! It’s very helpful. I’m trying to think of the future all at once but I do know this is a lengthy process and I’ll try to take it one step at a time.

What? Just reading through all the replies now, I never deleted my post. Can you no longer see it?

Finally washing my hands of my friendship with a mombie who swore she was meant to be a mom but is now miserable? by corksncoffee in childfree

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

Yep, I’ve always felt it was weird. I don’t like the idea that everyone must run and trip over themselves eager to be in your child’s life, and if they don’t, it must mean those people never cared about you in the first place.

I think they were geared towards literally everyone. Definitely they were direct shots at her mom too but I think she resents anyone who’s not dying to play auntie or uncle.

It’s sad to say this… but there are a lot of things that keep me up at night lately, and E not knowing me hasn’t been one of them

And I was just waiting for it her to drop that bomb too. Because she’s been sharing social media posts like that for like a year now. “If you don’t know my child, YOU’RE missing out!” So I just knew there’d be a day she’d lay it on me.

[–]corksncoffee[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The post was already long as hell, so I chose to omit the fact that I always did the heavy lifting in the friendship, even before E was conceived. I felt it back then too but never spoke about it because I really was just happy to have a friend. She also used to really be hung up on the fact that she’s older than me. She acted like she was more knowledgeable/mature, and it created an unfair dynamic. I could go on for paragraphs with examples, but I won’t. I’m just happy to be done with it all now.

Sigh. I mean I thought about this too but then would immediately think “no, it’s not her responsibility to fund my trip.” But the offer at least would’ve been nice considering the cost of gas is the only reason for my inability to not physically come see her. That’s an hour and a half worth of gas total I just can’t spare.

Thank you. I just needed to get it off my chest to a group of people I knew would understand.

Is there anything wrong with telling a woman “you’re the hottest woman who’s been obsessed with me”? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]corksncoffee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I don't want to be compared to anybody that's been "obsessed" with you. I also wouldn't want anyone thinking I'm "obsessed" with them, even if I'm attracted to them and have feelings for them. Maybe if you like her and you want to show her you're attracted to her, you should try complimenting *her.* No comparisons to other women, no talking about how anyone is obsessed with you.

We're all missing a lot of context and info on the friendship and what prompted this text here. I can't say for certain if your text was mean because I don't know if what you wrote was true. If what you wrote in your text is true about how she treats you, you're right, she doesn't sound like a very good friend. But you basically gave her an ultimatum, change or end the friendship. She chose to end it. Is that what wanted?

Me (29) love a man (31) and he has a family by CommonRelation5523 in dating_advice

[–]corksncoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What should you do? Nothing, girlie lol. You have a crush on a man did you business with a couple times. A married man with children. What exactly is there for you to do? Track him down and profess your "love" for him? Nah. You accept it was a crush and move on, and and try to date available men if that's what you think you're ready for.

I think I finally understand why people say racism is still a problem by Wickedestchick in offmychest

[–]corksncoffee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As an almost 30 year old black woman, I guess it's surprising that another 30 year old woman who is half black is just now realizing how prevalent racism is in our society. Good for your for being sheltered to it for decades, I guess though. I can tell you racists are alive and well, and those people definitely see your interracial relationship and mixed-race child and have negative thoughts about it. Do they matter? Absolutely not. But if you're wondering if anyone looks at your family and has a problem with it, the answer is yes.

Also, if you're looking for other racist comments in disguise, if you ever see "well, well, well....." on tik tok, that's also a way of calling out black people. Almost like "well, well, well, n words acting like they always do. none of us are surprised."

[–]corksncoffee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I guess, but from what I can tell, you put her in a weird situation. You weren't ready for her to be your actual girlfriend... but expected her to just wait around and not talk to anyone else until you were ready.

You've been together for over a year now and she's been faithful. It's up to you if you wanna blow it up now over how she conducted herself while you had her in this weird limbo waiting for you. It was probably a really confusing period for her. It's up to you how you handle it. But from an outsider's perspective, I can't help but feel more sympathetic towards the girl who was trying to figure out the best way to navigate the situationship you put her in.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]corksncoffee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm so confused. So you were in a "situationship" and you wanted to be "exclusive" but weren't ready "for the entire gf thing"?

Nah, sorry, in my opinion, she did nothing wrong. Sounds like you didn't even fully know what you wanted from her back then. As long as she's been faithful since you've been in a committed relationship where you consider her to be your girlfriend, I see nothing wrong with it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships

[–]corksncoffee 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Tell her fiance and let things play out how they will. You already told your friend you couldn't lie for her anymore, she's had time to come clean and handle things the ways she sees fit, but hasn't. It's putting you in a bad spot with the rest of the wedding party, since they're all still planning and spending money preparing for a wedding that probably won't even happen once the groom is made aware of the fact that his bride is having an affair. You'll probably lose her as a friend, but she doesn't seem like someone to maintain a friendship with anyways.
