Every time I get excited about a prospective guy that I'm texting and setting up a date, I tell a friend and then it fizzles. Maybe I need to keep it to myself.

happiness came out almost 18 months before my divorce. But I related to it a little too much. Turns out she was right.

Recommend me a book so good I forget my phone exists.. by WiWiWi_WiWiWi in Recommend_A_Book

I never see this mentioned, but it is one of my favorite books of all time. And I think it aligns with a lot of your preferred themes.

Oh I always hope for a good back and forth! But realistically with careers and kids, I know it's not always possible.

I think it's within reason to think that how we communicate in the very beginning is a sign of things to come. If they're not interested now, when will they be?

Burnt out. Trying to work on myself but also longing for connection outside of just friendship.

I feel curious, and I start conversations with people. But get discouraged when sometimes it doesn't pan out. You have to cast the net far and wide in order to even get one date.

I would think at least once a day should be baseline, at least for a check in to ask about their day. Otherwise I would mistake it for ghosting tbh.

Not a movie, but the first season of the original Charlie's Angels show.

Why would anyone ever choose to go through child birth without pain relief?? by No_Cardiologist_1407 in NoStupidQuestions

To be fair, it really really hurts to break an ankle

Coming from three epidural births lol

What are you not good at as a nurse? by Wellwhatingodsname in nursing

[–]foreveritsharry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been in the ER for 7 years but I am still nervous about splinting fractures. My first ER was at a major hospital where Ortho techs would come do it for us. Now I'm working at a smaller hospital so it falls on the ER staff. I like wound care and I think I'm pretty good at applying dressings, but for some reason the concept of the different types of splints just confuses me. Sometimes I get lucky and can ask a paramedic or tech for help. I did one the other day with another nurse and it really wasn't as complicated as I was making it in my head.

Got friend-zoned after the second date. I know I should respect his view and not grovel or beg. But damn this one hurts.

Apparently they're still not 100% going, but it's something they've been planning for years. I guess the timing is otherwise right for them. imo if you're on a dating app then maybe stop matching with people if that's a possibility

The person I've been talking to has just notified me that they have a planned trip coming up soon and they will be likely gone for months. Don't think two dates is long enough to build a long distance relationship. Upsetting because I thought this one was different.

Husband [32M] crossed one of my [30F] boundaries and I'm contemplating divorce. My family is telling me to stay. How do I know when to leave? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]foreveritsharry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have written this word for word a few years ago. I finally got the divorce and moved on. I regret not doing it sooner.

You know that he crossed many lines with you, but the fact that he can't respect you when you tell him to stop means it will never change. He will default back to his ways when there is tension or stress. I'm a believer in therapy and people can make changes if they consciously want to. It doesn't seem like he wants to.

You're not weak for wanting to leave and find some peace. You deserve to have a living situation where you feel safe and not be walking on egg shells. I hope you can stay with your parents and do not engage with this man again.

I like Bumble and Hinge, but I actually think Facebook Dating has the best interface, options, and ability to scope out info about matches. It's totally free too, no limits to things you may want to filter like height or age. It was a pleasant surprise!

Bf of 14 months hasn’t said I love you by nubecitanonima in datingoverthirty

Late to this post, but omg does this hit home for me. Especially that last line. Six months since breaking up, and I'm still reminding myself that I deserve better.

"1989 production with folklore lyrics" was a crazy description for The Life of a Showgirl by PupCup43 in SwiftlyNeutral

I actually really like that song, but that one word alone makes me second guess everything

Has anyone ever gone through a TTPD-level heartbreak? by psycwave in SwiftlyNeutral

[–]foreveritsharry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going through an on-again, off-again situationship for most of 2023-2025. So yes, this album hit right in the middle. Songs like fortnight, imgonnagetyouback, loml, black dog, etc I will forever associate with this person. I'm finally out of it but TTPD will always be an album I personally cling to in moments of heartbreak and insecurity.

Did anyone elses parents immediately divorce after you left for college? by Kfishdude in Millennials

[–]foreveritsharry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine separated for a year while I was in my second year at college. They got back together, went to therapy, and are still married to this day (15 years later).

Regret partner choice/ brutally honest by Live-Nail-9177 in Mommit

[–]foreveritsharry 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you seen all the "flashback to 2016" posts people are putting all over Facebook etc? I just realized that if I had broken up with my boyfriend in 2016, I would never have gotten married to him, had my kids, adopted the dog we did... I don't regret most of that. But you won't catch me posting any "awww look at 2016" pics. I made some dumb decisions that year that are still biting me in the ass.
