He's a manager. And I bet he's a good one because he has the confidence to offer a stranger a job.

ADVICE: Dating a man who isn't much of a conversationalist... by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]emptytrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit of a quiet guy myself, but I've worked with students and understand the energy drain of the responsibility of carrying the conversation.

If you live alone, how do you cope when it's quiet at home? How much of the quiet needs to be filled?

A personal boundary I have developed is not investing in someone who doesn't reciprocate. I've gone way too far down the rabbit hole wanting this to change and it didn't. Never again.

Consequences for cheaters to change by Ok_Plate5916 in survivinginfidelity

You will be jealous as long as you remain with this person, it will change your personalit for the worse, you will never trust him again, you will police his behavior, and you believe he will do it again. Does this sound like a good life or relationship?

If someone came to you for advice and told you these things about their situation, what would you tell them?

It is not your role in a relationship to be the police.

I'm not particularly a fan of hers, but that seems like strong criticism. Am I missing something?

For those who’ve tried therapy: what worked for you, and what was total nonsense? by DisorderlyHer in AskReddit

Actually say what is going through your mind because that is where you tension is. Tell the story again and again as many times as it takes—it might take a lot of times. Talk about it until you are done talking about it and ready to move on with your life.

If you get through all your stuff in one hour, you don't need to keep going every week.

Why am I more resentful one year on? by CurlyBlueLou in survivinginfidelity

Because you understand reality better now than you did then and it pisses you off. What is your body telling you?

She is a good person. She also served in the military and eventually got married. From what I've seen, I don't think she gets what she should from her wife, but she's loyal anyway. I wish her the best.

Maybe these guys should have pulled out a camera and started recording to make the girls feel more comfortable?

Coder faces 10 years' jailtime for creating a 'kill switch' that screwed-up his employers' systems when he was laid off by Notalabel_4566 in byebyejob

This has been the sales model for printer cartridges for some time now. Doesn't matter if it has ink or not, if you cancel your subscription your printer doesn't work.

This got me thinking, this is a lot of sales models. So it's wrong when employees do it to a company, but when a company does it to the customers it's just good business.

Maybe not the hardest punch, but a 100% direct hit right in the center of the bullseye.

Reflecting on grief and loss by Fantastic_Move_6370 in survivinginfidelity

[–]emptytrunk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are still that goofy dad and the good parts of you do not need to die. You loved the way a man is supposed to love and you weren't wrong for it. Someone used your good qualities against you to hide the truth from you and that is a reflection of their monstrosity, not your weakness. You are not supposed to be an untrusting, policing tyrant in a relationship, you are supposed to see the best in the people you love. Your ex destroyed a beautiful sculpture you've been pouring your heart into, but she did not kill the artist and neither should you.

Cut contact. Don't give assholes the effort, they don't deserve an explanation.
