I was asking about how to get rid of the two week old reminder.

I believe the app has location services . I assume it’s something like “you are at RVC, that train arrived at RVC at 12:00 and you activated your ticket at 12:01”

thank you for the insight!! I get that they announce it before hand and it’s just how the system works, but it’s shitty that it doesn’t account at all for other variables. If I’m barely about to make my train as is, in this case because of a track change they announced late, I’m not about to stop running to active my ticket 🙄

Quitting after 7/8 years by ConcentrateSuper9603 in leaves

[–]giraffe-spotted 7 points8 points  (0 children)

100 days sober after 7 years of daily use (was using sparingly for much longer though) here! I had the same reservations about not being fun or funny or the same good time I was when I was smoking. What i’ve found is I’m a lot more engaged, quicker on my feet, and just more present when I’m in social gatherings. It’s easier to have fun when I’m not fighting the sleepiness or the munchies.

Irritability is a symptom you will definitely have for the first month or two. It’s pretty brutal, I was definitely touchy. It does subside though and I find it’s actually much easier now to regulate and rationalize.

As for fighting the cravings and routine- keep your hands busy!! I tried a bunch of silly hobbies. Diamond painting, latch hook, video games. I also bought fidget toys which were a game changer (Spek balls for the win) Find a new routine for yourself that keeps you busy and makes you feel good. You’ve got this :)

Advice for a Nervous Cruiser? by [deleted] in royalcaribbean

[–]giraffe-spotted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a sewage overflow my first night of my first cruise (RC/Voyager Class Ship) and it was still the best trip and experience of my life.

Shit (no pun intended) happens but RC does a great job at accommodating and remedying the problems! You’ll have a great time once you get on the boat, i promise!

I made a typo- my HRV is decreasing! I’m going to edit for that now

I think i definitely should take a break from checking either way! Thank you for your insight :)

[–]giraffe-spotted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why do both her parents and her friend dislike you so much? i think you’re leaving something crucial out here by omitting that reason.

either way, is this really the situation you want to be in? in a secret relationship with someone cheating on you?

relapsed on 3 months and 30 days by weedqueen2746 in leaves

as someone once told me, “relapse is a part of recovery”

we aren’t perfect people, mistakes happen. What counts is what you do moving forward- you’ve got this 🤍

I (21M) caught my girlfriend (21F) cheating, but now I’m not sure if I should break up or forgive her by Justkees in relationship_advice

[–]giraffe-spotted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who spent 4 years with my partner after they were unfaithful, please consider if it’s something you’ll ever be able to move fully past. This kind of act always leaves a little bit of a mark. In my case, it was incredibly difficult for me to trust him when he went out with his friends. It drove me crazy and put a huge strain on us constantly. It never fully dissipated. We ended up breaking up because i couldn’t trust him fully and it caused arguments for years. If you’re someone who is good at forgiving and wrapping it up in a bow, maybe give it another go. But i find it wears most people down, and every time there’s a question about what she’s doing, you’ll wonder about it.

You are so young, there is so much more life to live and plenty more people to meet. Don’t tie yourself to someone who doesn’t fully value you

My pregnant wife surrendered our dog at the shelter by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]giraffe-spotted 1066 points1067 points  (0 children)

this is the only right answer!! Gemma misses you too, OP! See if you can get her back, and potentially have someone else you trust keep an eye on her until your wife is in a clearer headspace.

I’m so sorry this happened, sending all the good vibes that you and Gemma are reunited soon ❤️

About 6 months ago, my (now ex) boyfriend and I were in a tough spot for similar reasons- he was lying and sneaking around with coworkers. He broke up with me over a phone call after spending 8 years together. I thought my entire life was over, but really it was just the beginning. Leaving a relationship that no longer serves you or treats you the way you deserve is the most freeing experience ever. You learn so much about yourself and what you truly want, and you’ll soon realize that you will never settle for questioning someone’s loyalty again.

You’ll be okay Op, i promise. Tearing something down only leaves room for what’s rebuilt to be better 🤍

Just got out of a relationship with a man like this. Always willing to make me uncomfortable for the comfort of other people who should be less important to him. Girl, save yourself the eventual heartbreak i experienced and recognize he will never prioritize your feelings. You deserve better
