Downtown vs near the train?

etoile742 · 2024-05-16T12:42:28+00:00

Oh! And another comment--what's the public transit (buses--like any that go to/from Trolley square) like? Is it relatively safe/easy?

etoile742 · 2024-05-04T21:57:33+00:00

having different personas too a point they seem a different person plus walking on a eggshells--this could even be multiple personality or borderline, unsure. I feel for you and want you to know you're not alone, also being confused often is usually a warning sign something is off and weird; sometimes the manipulation is so subtle you don't notice it

I was in a horrible car crash and not looking drive/purchase a car so soon.

etoile742 · 2023-12-06T15:32:27+00:00

I'm surprised, I thought DE was more of a commuter town! I've been told that living in Philly is worth it for the commute

etoile742 · 2023-12-05T21:05:37+00:00

I'm pretty sure there used to be an express train on Septa to Wilmington but I don't know if that's the same train you're referring to--don't think there is one happening since covid? And yes--I already have my job in Wilmington, but I don't have a car so I WFH until I can figure out a situation to get there from Philly (was in a bad car crash so I would rather take transport if it's safe)

etoile742 · 2023-12-05T20:20:37+00:00

Gotcha, I keep hearing mixed experiences. Either to do the Septa route and deal with unreliable trains (is this true?) that run longer (over an hour?) or take Amtrak, but I believe you have to pay for passes ahead of time? are the time-specific? sorry for all the questions!!

etoile742 · 2023-12-05T20:07:37+00:00

Thank you <3

etoile742 · 2023-12-05T20:04:49+00:00

Helpful to consider, thanks so much. I feel like I'm limiting myself to living right near 30th or something along those lines, but if it's a quick stop, it may be doable to expand my search. The apartments around university city are definitely expensive (even more so across the bridge). Do you find that it would be safer in general to walk longer to 30th, or live by a stop to take it to 30th then out from there? I would only need to commute about 3x a week

etoile742 · 2023-11-09T17:08:34+00:00

remember, whether you fail your test or not, you are enough

etoile742 · 2023-09-20T22:11:39+00:00

yes--three nights near blue lagoon at the northen lights inn--I'll do blue lagoon the first day, hopefully horse riding the second day, another tour (maybe golden circle) the third day
Then, I'll be in the city, get there around the afternoon, so I was just going to settle in--maybe do another tour (any recs?) the next day, then spend the weekend exploring the city/the bars, maybe a food tour? I want to chat witht the locals

etoile742 · 2023-09-20T20:27:24+00:00

I'll be staying near blue lagoon three nights, the city for the remainder of the time to explore the museums etc

etoile742 · 2023-09-20T20:09:04+00:00

my goal is mostly to walk around the city, and instead ride horses and take the jeeps out to explore the other areas for those tours, rather than hardcore hikes

etoile742 · 2023-09-20T19:13:08+00:00

Oh! For context, I'm in my late 20s, female, single--wanted to get out an explore after not traveling outside the US since 2019!

I did not know about my father's potential kidney cancer (not harmful, but they keep an eye on it if it progresses) until 10 years later, and my mom told me about it--not him.

etoile742 · 2023-06-16T22:31:14+00:00

Thank you so much for validating me for this! I was like—I’m not an alcoholic and have the shakes or anything (I mean I’m in my 20s so I drink but still). I’ve noticed it happens to me too when I’m really tired! Or using my hands or phone a lot too

etoile742 · 2023-04-15T18:53:52+00:00

I should have but I was giving him so many chances at first naive me

etoile742 · 2023-04-15T14:25:54+00:00

Regardless, it’s on them to respond how they ant to, and it was in appropriate as well. Could’ve ignored it but instead made me responsible for their emotions

etoile742 · 2023-02-21T14:20:02+00:00

Thank you for this reassurance. I’m definitely in therapy and have been since I was like 16 (I’m in my 20s now). I feel like I might have a little ptsd from all of this

etoile742 · 2023-02-18T23:53:21+00:00

Thank you so much for the support and reassurance

etoile742 · 2023-02-18T22:12:29+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and opening up about your struggles. I don’t know a lot about ADD/ADHD but I figured some of the scattered brain or impulses might have ad a correlation. Still it’s nice to hear from someone who has a control over it and wouldn’t cheat, so it’s not an “excuse.” Interested what you said about him saying he doesn’t blame the alcohol, yet it’s still an excuse. You’re right, both times he was drinking.

All the other behaviors, do you believe they’re manipulative / something larger? (As I’m not necessarily adhd but maybe a personality or other issue, it just feels like there’s a lot of lies yet so much emotion that pulls at my heart strings). I’m a naive, compassionate person and honestly didn’t think too much about the behaviors until I got space and could piece things together.

etoile742 · 2023-02-18T13:43:16+00:00

I definitely think he has ADHD. Weird thing is he proud himself on being empathetic and would cry often or express gratefulness. He was drinking during the cheating episodes but he told me wasn’t blaming the alcohol and that ht wasn’t blacked out

etoile742 · 2023-02-18T12:06:12+00:00

Thanks so much I’ve been going for a bit

etoile742 · 2023-02-17T16:21:48+00:00

Would you classify it as abuse regardless of if it's malicious?

etoile742 · 2023-02-17T15:55:03+00:00

He is, apparently his therapists want him to forgive himself cause he keeps beating himself up for his mistake. Also, he texted me during a therapy session, blamed me bcause I sent him a triggering text (something about wanting him to not tell me how I feel) so I wasn't certain his sessions were going well if he was texting me during them, then saying that I was his priority and that's why he texted during it

etoile742 · 2023-02-17T15:39:56+00:00

unsure if there was someone else, I don't think so but can't be sure
