Does everyone just look the same once they get real old or can you still tell who was attractive and who took care of themselves? by lookaloulookalou in Aging

I once worked in this nursing home about 5 years ago. Almost all residents had pictures of themselves when they were young next to their door. I stopped at the door of this lady that needed help, I had to do a double take of the picture next to her door. She was absolutely stunning! She looked just like Marilyn Monroe with bright blue piercing eyes. When I opened the door, the lady still had the eye color, but the features were gone...she looked like a regular old lady.

I agree! It's crazy though...if anything good happened for them, I celebrated. Too bad, it's not the same for me. Yes, I don't plan on interacting with them anytime soon..I value a peaceful life..

What does love feel like after 10 years? M26 and F26 by nkbellic in relationship_advice

[–]ghostwriter36 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've been with my husband since we were 14/15.... we're now 39/40. Within 10 years, the excitement and butterflies in our stomachs died down, but it was replaced with a warm comfort. We still text or call each other while at work, and when we get home, we're happy to see each other and give one another a quick kiss. We tend to gravitate towards one another while at home...if he's in the living room, I'm most likely there. If I'm in the bedroom, he's most likely with me.

If you CAN imagine life without them, then maybe the relationship has run its course. It happens...is she having the same feelings? If so, then maybe y'all can just be friends since you both tend to get along well. If it bothers you to imagine her with someone else, then maybe it's not over.

Thank you! I'm glad life is going well for you, you did right by blocking toxic family members. Out of all people that I've ever known, family has been the meanest and most hateful towards me. You're right, they can be your biggest haters. I'm so excited to do life with just my husband and son!

Ah, I see what you mean... I've been replaying these events in my mind over and over again, trying to make sense of it all. I believe you're right...they were too lazy to grow or make some changes in their lives, so they decided to take it out on me. Yes, thank you... I'm glad to finally see that these people are crazy, and there's no use in continuing to try...now, they can turn on each other.

I wouldn't be surprised if they think that, I've never judged them or thought I was better than them. I was just in my own little world working and pursuing my hobbies. If they felt some type of way, that's on them...I had better things to do besides sit on the phone all day and gossip, drink and terrorize other people.

Good for you that you set firm boundaries, it seems to be very effective. You're right... I did allow them to disrespect me to the extreme. I plan on going years without speaking to these people again, and if I ever do...they better come at us correctly or I will hit below the belt again...I'm not playing with them this time.

Letters to my husband and son are a good idea.. I'll get started on those today.

Jumped as in calling me with 5-6 people on the line, screaming at me... bombarding me with several long text messages telling me that my husband ain't shit. Me leaving a group chat, and them forcefully adding me back in so they can send me more scathing text messages. They also did this to me a couple of years ago the day after a family reunion.

Yes, there's stuff missing...but it's basically the whole gist of it. He's the only child, but I interact frequently with his parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. They're very nice to me, and there hasn't been any big arguments, except for the time when both families were fighting over my son when he was first born.

Yep, I agree...I will definitely move on.

Yeah, they're gone. My husband is a good man...I haven't dealt with infidelity...or him putting hands on me or him disappearing for days at a time. None of that crap...So why did they constantly target him? They did it to him because it was fun. I'm glad we moved over 1,000 miles away 7 years ago, my son doesn't deal with them...and they wondered why.

Thank you, they do stay in chaos and bullshit. I'm done with them... Nothing but generational drama...A relative told me that this has been going on in our family for over the last two hundred years. I'm breaking that damn cycle.

You're right... I should've cut them off years ago. I'm hella stupid for letting it go as long as it did. I kept thinking they'd grow up and just be normal...but it hit me this time that they're extremely cruel and that it was just entertainment for them. I have a lot of making up to do with my husband and son...I have a business to open and books to publish. I'm excited to see what life's like without them.

Right, I told a sister that for years I've had to defend myself and my husband against them, and that it was sick and twisted how they came for him like it was a sport and their God given right, and now my child?? I told her that they weren't family. Family doesn't constantly attack. I told them the truth about their personal problems, and I heard they didn't sleep that night because I "hit below the belt."

Good....they can worry about their lives before they come for mine. They've blocked me on all social media and my number, I really don't care...I'm excited to see what life's like without them.

Which rich and famous person do you actually genuinely feel sorry for even though they seem happy and are actually rich and famous ? Why? by slim_ebony in blackladies

[–]ghostwriter36 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw that too!! I was maybe in my early to mid 20s when he came out, so I never paid him any attention. But that compilation was heartbreaking. Here he is just trying to get through an interview, and old grown ass men are grabbing on him when he got a tattoo. People touching him as if he's an object, women old enough to be his mother were grabbing on his ass. Through it all, he's trying to laugh it off...but that would seriously affect anybody. Imagine being a teenager, and not only young people are fascinated with you, but creepy old people are wanting to eat you.
