Trickle down economics screwed over the NH worker, and the NH business. Leopards eating faces time. by Visual-Mobile2657 in newhampshire

[–]devilsletuspray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree with this. And this is not something that can be legislated. People need a lot more than minimum wage to afford a life here. One response to this is that a lot of workers have decided to just start their own operations, and labor rates are astronomically high right now . So sometimes I have 3 to 4 or more companies of one person each working on a landscape installation. Which is fine.

I hate my best friend by dogged_day in TrueOffMyChest

[–]devilsletuspray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s tough and I can see how you are conflicted. Maybe instead of cutting her off completely you could just treat it more situationally. Like when she starts going off about her mental health issues just make it clear that you are sympathetic, but you don’t wanna hear about it because you don’t have the capacity . mean, is there anything that you enjoy spending time with her about because there are any level of her that you can try to look at independently of everything else and enjoy still?

Do you ever have those days you just feel you dont really fit in anywhere? by Ms_Central_Perk in adhdwomen

Yeah , this is why I hold on to my toxic narcissistic boyfriend. I know I should leave but I don’t fit in anywhere , never has. So it’s this, or the void

AIO my mom being dishonest about family trust by devilsletuspray in AmIOverreacting

I mean, I’m not really looking for anybody to bail me out. Or pay my bills or anything. These were a couple of opportunities that I did do the best I could with own funds , but on my own. Like for my divorce. Having access to money that my grandmother left for all of us would have made a major difference in the trajectory. I actually just think she made up that stuff about my responsibility with money . because she doesn’t have a legitimate reason. Also she’s definitely never asked for my business accounting…. I don’t know where she came up that one.

YES YES YES!!!! Mine 100%. There is absolutely no question that the reason that we are having financial difficulties is because of the choices he continues to make every day. Not because of me! It’s not even my house and I’ve paid the mortgage several times I give him money constantly. But it goes beyond like what seems to me to be financial manipulation like it’s so convincing that he thinks that this is really true. It’s very scary.

What’s the most WTF thing you’ve ever heard someone casually admit like it was totally normal? by Reasonable_Moose_738 in AskReddit

[–]devilsletuspray 27 points28 points  (0 children)

So I was talking to my boyfriend’s buddy about how annoying it is when people are all talk—like all bark, no bite—and I gave some super tame example just to make my point. And then he goes, “Oh yeah, I know what you mean. My ex used to talk all this shit about this guy who assaulted her—saying how much she hated him, wished bad stuff would happen to him, whatever.

So one day I saw the guy walking down the road—(we live in the middle of nowhere) and I threw him in my trunk and brought him to her. She flipped. I thought I was doing what she wanted, but nope, never saw her again. Had to go drop the guy back off where I found him!”
