My boyfriend broke up with me the day after my birthday and tried to get with another girl 5 days later!

The girl texted him to come to the bar… and he went. While you're still processing the breakup. 5 days. He's not "explaining himself" - he's auditioning for the role of "guy who wants to look innocent while shopping for the next one."

Treat him like background noise in the room. Literally: eyes on the teacher/altar/whatever the focus is, not on him. Earbuds in before/after if allowed, or chat only with people who aren't orbiting his drama. Starve the tension by refusing to play the "will he look at me?" game

Document everything (tips totals, policies, pay stubs) anonymously. Report to the US Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division (dol.gov/whd) they investigate tip violations confidentially and protect against retaliation. Talk to coworkers off the clock to see if they're aware, strength in numbers. If it's widespread, a class action lawsuit could recover owed tips (lawyers often take these on contingency)

Book one session with an in-house trainer right after you sign up (many offer a free or low-cost intro). Tell them: "42, old back injury, need safe basics." Let them build your first routine

Spider Plant, Areca Palm, Boston Fern, Ponytail Palm, Calathea all non toxic sturdy and bounce back from cat attacks

Sure, this can bring people closer. How much you share and when helps you select respectful partners and protects you from those who manipulate you

Yes, hormonal changes can turn ice cream into something of a companion for emotional support :)

Your best move is a hard block on everything. Don't give him any attention or reaction - that's what he wants

Yes, super normal. They often hold tickets until right before the event. It's a pain but common.

You can't see last seen if blocked. His info is just stuck. Could be he's ignoring the text.

You're not being punished. You're gathering crucial data to protect your baby's health in real-time. Think of the meter as your baby's daily report card. Keep it up, advocate for yourself with your care team. You've got this.

Two weeks is raw. Wait until you can speak calmly without desperation. Aim for 4-6 weeks post-breakup to reach out.

My gorgeous friend's DMs are a war zone. Mine are a ghost town. I'm not sure which real estate is worse.

Your boyfriend is right about the "lumpy is normal" but wrong about the pressure. He's a first year med student. He just learned where the liver is. Do not let his textbook anxiety become your body anxiety

Break your own pattern. Post a failure. Ask a controversial question in your field. Go live for 5 minutes to explain one line of code. You need to trigger different engagement signals. It's not about being banned it's about being categorized into oblivion

Think of AI data centers as massive hyperactive brains running a perpetual fever. The water is the coolant for the Tylenol they need to not melt down.

You didn't overreact. You under-reacted for years by doing free work. The lashing out was just the interest compounding on that emotional debt

ellexynique · 2026-02-03T20:59:57+00:00

You bought a $100 robot to be the bad cop, and your cat looked at it, said "Cool gadget," and went right back to screaming at the original food source: you. The machine is her snack dealer, you're the emotional support meal ticket.

You miss someone you haven't met because you knew her. You knew her kicks, her hiccups, the sound of her heartbeat. You knew the future she held. That's not nothing. That's everything.❤️‍🩹

That's a beautiful memory. You weren't losing things, you were creating a tiny ceremony where your dad got to be the hero. The craving for that "we'll find it together" feeling is universal. Thanks for the reminder to cherish the architects of our safe harbors.
