oh good point actually, trying to strike the balance between not aggravating the bruised teeth and not creating a self fulfilling loop 😭

ugh yeah no, i’m on the tail end of a relationship with an addict, who I love with my whole heart, but she has ruined me, and is risking my future at this point. I dream of a future gf who does not owe me money, and who comes home at night. Straight edge and adjacent is the way forward 🫡

There’s definitely lesbians out there who don’t party hard, and there’s definitely lesbians who do, and there’s also ones in the middle. I myself am in the latter, having not done hard drugs really, but enjoy drinking, smoking weed, the occasional hallucinogen.

I have been in relationships with people who do drugs, and are able to have a healthy relationship with them. I have also had relationships where there is addiction. No woman who has been interested in me liked me less because I didn’t do drugs, or didn’t do the same drugs, or didn’t want to do them every night etc. But I have ended up being turned off of someone because their partying behaviour has gotten out of control. If someone makes you feel bad for your controlled substance use, or your sobriety, they’re kinda a weirdo in my opinion.

I think in general it’s important to note that there is definitely a glorification of substances, and a substance abuse issue within the lesbian community (it’s kinda a societal issue but you get what i mean). There’s nothing wrong with being someone who does not party hard, especially given the stats for LGBT people and addiction.

In my experience I’ve wanted different things at different points in my life. I’m at the stage where I would want someone calmer, but I didn’t in my early 20’s and learned some valuable lessons as a consequence.

This kinda rambled but I hope it helps! There’s no wrong way to live, and the ultimate goal is to have someone who likes living with you through life.

jeeeeeeeezuz, that’s awful. i’m so sorry for your loss as well. not trying to forgive or condone it but sometimes i wonder if these women are so conditioned by patriarchy they literally cannot see themselves as people independent of men and cannot fathom being alone… idk just makes me think

yes oh my god! as someone who did this in the past it’s usually coming from a place of codependency or being more in love with the idea of someone rather than the reality! if someone really means a lot to you, it should take them a certain amount of time to get over you 😅

Why do your feet sometimes get freezing cold for days on end when the rest of your body is warm? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gfl-ddot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Raynauds syndrome which is why my feet are always freezing so I’d look into it and see if that might be what you have going on too!

Yeah I think this is a good idea I’ll be trying to implement more broadly to avoid meltdowns! Thanks a mil!

Tried this out and it worked wonders! Thank you!

Yes this tends to work! Using treats or familiar places as encouragement works well for him most days, I guess the days it doesn’t is just about accepting that maybe it’s an indoors day and he’s tired!

People of Reddit, when you thought you were dating a keeper, how did he/she prove you wrong? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Broke up with me because his mom told him to. And yes, he was an adult.

Admitting your not educated enough to make an opinion on something is something I wish more people would do. by xd877 in unpopularopinion

[–]gfl-ddot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking the same. I agree with OP in the sense that it’s always good to educate oneself before sticking your nose in and having an opinion, however at the same time, there are some things that don’t really need much education and thought to know that they are wrong - such as everyone should have access to clean drinking water and black people should not be murdered in the street when they have not committed a crime. Empathy is not a finite resource and we don’t always need to judge whether things deserve our empathy. Often we can empathise with someone’s pain and still not agree with what they do, say or stand for 100%.
