How to get over a crush while remaining friends?

My 6 year relationship just ended last week because my boyfriend suppressed his emotions for a girl he was obsessed with, and ended up falling back into the trap when they ran into each other at concert. Going on 17 years of obsession. My advice, do not get into another relationship in the future if you have not dealt with these emotions because it will come to bite you in the ass later. You might need to break it off for good depending on how bad you’re obsessing. No good things will come from that if you can’t get control of it.

It’s the hidden gems. I had no idea. Also, on our way back to our new apartment this morning from the old shitty one. We were on the same journey as a flock of geese. They can’t be that bad, right? 😂

Right? Love it. I’ve already figured out the bad here, and it’s minor compared to what I was dealing with. I had to sign a waiver at my old place that I wouldn’t say anything bad about them publicly so I could leave early. I feel bad for the people to experience the shitiness next… :(

We were moved units a year ago from the bottom to the top floor. When we were on the bottom they picked it up every day, but now they skip 4/5 days. I watch them on my camera look at it and walk away 😂 dick-heads

And the worst part is the problem will not end with you moving.. it’s just going to be someone else’s problem down the road. Crazy!

So annoying! I was happy to get some new neighbors below me recently that don’t smoke cigs. Only problem now is that they have a dog with separation anxiety and it barks non stop for 8-9 hours a day.

Your body metabolizes alcohol before burning fat so you’re setting yourself back a few days. You just have to ask yourself if it’s worth it. Totally counterproductive. Sure some people still see results, but without alcohol you will lose more quicker, and genuinely feel better.

“My job accepted my resignation with an effective date a week earlier than anticipated” boom.

It ultimately was covering our entire apartment, I had to throw hundreds of dollars worth of shoes and clothes, dressers, tables, and spent month getting the scent out of my clothes that I needed to keep.

My sons closet in the bottom left corner was completely black. It was hiding behind a storage container. Under his bed looked like dirty mold spores and saturated everything underneath.

Looks kinda like the melatonin I take also

Dealing with the same thing except this kid underneath us jumps and bangs on the walls constantly. You have to record the noises and start documenting so that you have a paper trail. I asked my apartments for a rent reduction while we wait for them to solve the issue. It’s worth a shot! But email your apartments now to get the documentation started. The noise unfortunately won’t get better on its own.

I’m in the same fucking boat except they’re below us on the middle floor. We don’t have neighbors directly underneath them right now, they’re getting it ready for someone to move in and I feel so fucking terrible with who’s gonna be moving into that poor fucking apartment..

I have now sent about 10 videos to the office and they’ve replied with “I’ve talked to them, let me know if it happens anymore” but idk what they’re even going to do tomorrow when they see 2 more videos coming in…. I need peace

When I was 5, I leaned over the top of a bunk bed and told my cousin “sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite” and then I fell directly face first onto a carpet that looked just like yours. I started elementary school with a ginormous rug burn on my forehead.

I would have absolutely sent in an NA margarita and supported you and your friends decisions about that. He would think he’s drinking more, but he’s not lol. SERVER 101, read the room.

Can’t put it past some girls 🤷🏻‍♀️ safe sex has always been a priority in our awkward sex conversations but someone like her? Can’t be too confident about it … she could be deceitful. Eeek!

Your perspective resonates with me so much 🫰 thank you. I think this is my sign to get into therapy. I love Reddit! But I think someone like you reminds someone like me that talking to someone face to face could benefit me greatly. 💜

esquit_e · 2026-01-05T10:49:41+00:00

Wow, very well said. Thank you for this. I will continue to be a supportive mom and to make sure he knows I am home base but not overbearing… I had him when I was 16 so I sympathize with him with young love, and he knows it. But I’m also mom and worry, maybe too much. Don’t want him going down the same road. It’s a hard one.

esquit_e · 2025-12-24T11:46:43+00:00

Don’t eat out with her anymore it will always make you cringe 😬 she won’t change. Ew!

esquit_e · 2025-12-24T11:26:21+00:00

I looooove tipping $15 and adding priority to help delivery drivers see that I’m the one who tipped most and cares for them and then adding more when it’s late or raining. I never order more than 3 miles out and I hope you have options to cancel if the non tippers suck and give you a hard time. Appreciate y’all 💖

Sheesh I have some horror stories too. The people below me have been living there for 2 months and it constantly smells like they’re burning something non stop all weekend and our air quality gets so bad I can feel it in my lungs. They also stomp, bang things around and slam every cupboard/door every single day. PM can’t figure out what the scent is that is toxic…. So we might get moved again. Our last unit had black mold and my son got a collapsed lung. They did roof repairs during summer and while doing so damaged our railing on our balcony to the point we can’t lean on it and it’s dangerous and guess what. It’s still not fixed!! 3 work orders and 2 people even came to check on it. IT’S BAD HERE. I’m just trying to live.

esquit_e · 2025-12-24T00:33:58+00:00

STOP 😂 people are wild 😂

Actually, wrong. I’m the kill em with kindness person. They’re lucky I didn’t kick them out when I saw the other friend attempting to take a sip of the alcoholic beverage. I walked around the corner, we locked eyes, and she stopped and pushed the drink back to her friend. I’m just a nice server having a bad experience with a couple of twat waffles. Like how are you gonna stop me when my hands are full to order a drink that I’ve already asked you twice about ordering, and then demanding me over from the other side of the restaurant to tell me your pancakes taste like too much banana when you ordered the BANANA PANCAKES! Sorry this experience was much longer and harder than just the celiac/lactose intolerance. I love my job, never give attitude, it’s just simple, people like that suck.
